Probably the most interesting question the Survey has thus far put to students is the "ism" problem. On this issue fifty-six per cent voted a preference for Communism over Fascism. The result of this poll may have tremendous repercussions. For, if the new generation maintains its bias toward the extreme. Left, red-baiting will rapidly lose its place as the premier American political sport.
