This questionnaire was distributed on the first day of class with the results to
be used to present a demographic portrait of the class in relevant sections of
the course. 



                 Sociology 1 Anonymous Student Questionnaire

      The following information is meant to provide aggregated (group) data
that will be useful to the class during various parts of the semester. 
Please cooperate by answering each question, including those for which you
have to make educated guesses.  When you are making an educated guess,
please note so in the margin next to the answer(s) you are guessing. 
(Question 7 involves guesswork for everyone, so don't bother with a marginal
comment there.)

estimate.  To aid yourself, please fill out the following checklist and
total it below.

      (1)  Father's income last year                 $______

      (2)  Mother's income last year                 $______

      (3)  Your own income last year (summer earnings, work-study, 
           other jobs) 
                                                     $______

(4)  Any income of brothers, sisters or other family members living with you   
                                                     $______

      (5)  Income from stocks, property, bonds, etc. $______
           
            (Be sure to list income, not total value.  For
            example, if your family members have investments
            worth about $80,000, then probably about 7-10% of
            that was income last year, or about $8,000.)

      (6)  Social security payments, pensions, gifts, and miscellaneous 
           income

Now add items 1 through 6 carefully and write in the total here:

 7.  When you are about 40 years old, how much income do you think you will
earn from your work?  Assume no inflation (that is, use today's dollar as
your standard) and ignore taxes (that is, provide before-tax income
estimate).  Be as realistic as you can by considering the kind of work you
anticipate doing.  If you anticipate having no paying job, please so
indicate.

                        (2)  $10,000 - $19,999
