The Daily Chronicle, Tuesday, April 7, 1970 Youths Tell Opinions On Mixed Marriage: Distributed by NEA We live in fast-changing times when inherited ideas, institutions, traditions and ways of living may become obsolescent. The Gilbert National Youth Poll surveyed over 5,000 young people (ages 14-25) across the country to determine how they felt about interracial marriages and marriages involving mates of different religions. Results indicated that one-half of today's youths are against interracial a i a Opposition in the southern and central regions is siginlicantly greater than in the northeaster and western regions. Regions Differ Sixty-two per cent in the South and 55 per cent in the North Central opposed in- erracial marriages, but in the Northeast and West oppositio; dropped to 38 per cent and 34 per cent respectively. Female respondents indicate slightly more opposition than males, and opposition seeme to mount as age increased.

Slightly over one-quarter the respondents favore'd in terracial marriage, and suppor was strongest among younger respondents (ages 17-18). Different Religions The survey asked the same youths how they would fee about mixed marriages in volving mates of differen religions. Reaction clearly in dicated that this is a Ics sensitive area, for more tha: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT INTERRACIAL 'MARRIAGES? North- North Ptr Ceet toil Ceatrol South Wtst he White Pass Future Farmers balf indicated they would be in favor and only 15 per cent opposed such marriages. respondents, once again, showed more objections. Younger respondents as they did with the interracial question, accounted for half of those in favor of such marriages.

The regional pattern was virtually the same as in the i of interracial marriages. In The Family The survey then zeroed in closer to home and inquired how youths felt about interracial marriages in their own family. The results were somewhat surprising. Although half had indicatec they would oppose interracia marriages when considered in the abstract, only slightly more than a third opposed interracia marriages in the context their own family. The largest segment (39 pe cent) indicated a sufficient!) objective mind to indicate tha their feelings would "depend the circumstances." The total response of those who favored or would not mint interracial marriages held firm at just slightly more than quarter of the respondents.
