- Summary:
-
To obtain data about the Harper College students' and community's attitudes toward athletic programs at the college, a survey was conducted of 200 full-time and 200 part-time students and 200 randomly selected households within the school district. The return rate for the survey questionnaire was 57 percent for full-time students, 49 percent for part-time students, and 37 percent for the households. Results of the survey, which are tabulated, showed that: (1) 61 percent of the students and 41 percent of the households favored an expanded athletic program; as related to physical education, 77 percent of students and 62 percent of households favored expansion; (2) athletic programs that would be popular additions were swimming, diving, skiing, rifle, gymnastics, and hockey; (3) the largest barrier to increasing both participant and spectator interest in athletics was the lack of facilities; (4) 50 percent of the community indicated they would be willing to pay $5.00/year or more to expand the program, and 51 percent of the students would support a $1.00 increase in the activity fee to enable program expansion; and (5) 85 percent of the community and students favored the building of a new athletic facility. An appendix presents a description of the various sports programs at Harper College and a copy of the community survey form. (DB)
