| Summary: | In a survey of 450 University of Michigan male undergraduates in 1969, two forms of activists were identified—organization members and demonstration participants. Both types tended to be disproportionately from Jewish homes, without personal religious preference, enrolled in social science departments, and active in campus religious fellowships. Alienation was found to be multi-dimensional, involving both specific institutional alienation and more generalized feelings of alienation. The latter proved unrelated to student activism. However, activistic students were more alienated from traditional religion, college, government, and the military. The general conclusions, presented by Keniston and Flacks, that activistic students are not culturally alienated, need further specification in terms of particular areas of institutional alienation. |
