students would have a dif-
ferent perspective of the survey
after they had analyzed their
data. “Most of them were
overwhelmed by the im-
mediacy of the project—the
details (of their field ex-
perience) stuck out more in
their minds than what they
have learned in class all year.”
Scott said this was a com-
mon problem among both
students and professors who
have become accustomed to
the academic community.
“You get off in your own
world down here and you
forget about what’s out
there,’’ he said. He added that
the students must now “try to

were talking about to what

HOLLYWOOD (AP)
— After a half-century of
providing memorable
moments, Oscar has a
special one for Monday
night’s awards — the first
public appearance by
John Wayne since his
Jan. 12 cancer operation.
“We’re saving the best
for the last," announced
Oscar cast producer Jack
Haley Jr., who said
Wayne would appear at
the end of the Academy
Awards show to present
the Oscar for best picture
ot 1978.
Wayne was reported to
be relishing his return to
the spotlight. The 71-
year-old star underwent
surgery to remove his
stomach and gall bladder
in a nine-hour operation
at UCLA M e d i c a I
Center. Since he had
already lost a lung to
cancer and had
undergone open-heart
surgery, there was con-
cern for his survival.
Last Tuesday, Wayne
signaled his progress by
flying to Mexicali for a
visit with longtime friend
Gov. Roberto de la
Madrid of Baja Califor-
nia. Wayne told Daily
Variety columnist Army
Archerd, "I ate some hot
food and had a shot of te-
quilla.” The actor added
that he had run 60 yards
and walked a mileon a re-
cent morning and had
gained back five of the 40
pounds he had lost.
In his first appearance
for the Oscars, Johnny
Carson will act as master
of ceremonies. The

posters, Barbero said. The amount he
could spend on the runoff was also
reduced, and he was fined $35.
The superior court, a panel of five
student judges, Brian Pierson, Reggie
Witten, Darren Moore, Dean Luthey
and Bob Gee, heard four cases Sun-
day, Greenfield vs. Wintory, Green-
field vs. Brock, Vaughn Brock vs. the
Election Baord and Richard Wintory
vs. The Election Baord.
Greenfield, a candidate in the
presidential election, asked the court
to disqualify both W intory and Brock
from the election because of an unfair
advantage gained through extra ex-
penditures.
Brock and Wintory asked that the
election board certify election results.
The court heard testimony from
Barbero, as chairwoman of the elec-
tion board, about the election board
meetings and then considered
statements from the three counsels of
each of the three candidates involved
in the cases. The court dealt with the
cases in three major areas: election
board decisions, evidence to support
election board decisions and ap-
propriate remedies.
The overspending of both can-
didates was established in the election
board meetings, Barbero said.
All candidates for the office had
signed statements assuming respon-
sibility for the actions of campaign
workers and promising to adhere to
the election rules.
Barbero said the results of the
presidential election were not certified
because the overspending of Brock
and Wintory may have caused an un-
fair advantage of increased exposure
over the other candidates. This in-
creased exposure, she said, may have
influenced the outcome of the elec-
tion. “It was not proven the election
was numerically in doubt,” she said.
Counsel for Brock and Wintory
maintained, however, no advantage
was gained because the overspending
occurred in materials not used for the
general election. Both candidates had
stacks of apparently unused fliers and
material to support (heir claims. This
extra material was to be used for the
runoffs, they said.
Steve Bugg, attorney for Brock,
said Brock relied on a precedent set by
candidates in previous years. “If you
don’t use it you don’t have to report
it."
The counsel for Wintory, David
Nichols, described the object of the
$200 limit was to “make everybody
campaign with the same amount of
money, and if posters sit in the closet
they’re not used to campaign. ”
Nichols argued, in a case of this
type involving campaign overexpen-
ditures, the “person presenting the
contest must prove the result would
have been different.” Nichols argued
for “the protection of the political
process” of voting and the ’’need for
finality in an election.”
In the decision handed down, the
court ruled that “spending is not the
equivalent of use.” Brock and Win-
tory were removed from the election
and the court called for another race
involving Givens, Springer, Lewis and
Greenfield.
“They said in essence,” Wintory
commented “that fliers left in my
room that no voter ever saw, influenc-
ed 150 people to vote for me.”
“We used,” he added, “less than
$200 of material in the general elec-
tion. We were told during the general
election from the election board chair
that material not used would not have
to be counted (in expenditure
statements.) We were deprived of our
right by the election board and by the
Superior Court to prove that we were
innocent. In the election board hear-
ing on Thursday, the rules were
changed but this was after the fact.
After the fact they found us guilty and
after the fact they fined us.”
"Disqualification,” Brock said,
"is a high price to pay for honesty and
$31 of fliers we didn’t use.”
Brock’s attorney commented that
Brock could easily have cheated on his
expenditure report but, he said,
“Vaughn’s an honest person and he
didn’t think that was right.”
The attorney for Greenfield, Neal
Martin, stressed he was under an
obligation to take the case under his
role as public defender.
“This was a difficult decision for
the court to make,” Martin said.
“The legal issues were significant.
They needed to be resolved and I
believe they have been properly
resolved. Undeniably the result to Mr.
Brock and Mr. Wintory is harsh."
Marlin stressed the legal action was
not taken for vindication. "It was
done for principle," he said; “the
principle being if you violate the rules
you have to pay the price.
the survey to people chosen to
participate. They also provid-
ed the phone numbers of the
project’s directors, the
Oklahoma City Police Depart-
ment, and (he Better Business
Bureau of Central Oklahoma
so that anyone doubting the
seriousness of the survey could
check on its authenticity.
In addition, interviewers
went armed with cards identi-
fying (hem as members of the
research team. Some people
were still wary of their creden-
tials, but consented to be inter-
viewed anyway. This caution
was warranted in at least one
area, where a student was told
that someone apparently had
learned of the survey and was
posing as an interviewer so he
could case homes in the
respondent’s neighborhood.
Students said that even
scheduling an interview was
frustrating at times. The wife
of a man who was to be con-
tacted told a student two times
to call back later. The third
time she called, the interviewer
talked to the couple's
daughter. W hen asked if her
father were home, she replied,
"Oh, no—he’sin prison.”
Other people simply were
not interested in being involv-
ed with the survey. Upon hear-
ing a statement which explain-
ed that the research was meant
to provide students with an
idea of the attitudes of city
residents, one man replied,
“I'll tell you what my attitude
is—I don’t want to hear
another word about it."
Mistaken identities

The pollster checks her list
of addresses, sees the name of
the person she is to interview,
and rings the doorbell.
Imagine her surprise when
an 80-year-old woman comes
to the door, silently unbuttons
her blouse, flashes the inter-
viewer, refastens her shirt, and
then inquires, “What do you
want?”
This was only one of the
strange tales told by sociology
graduate students last week
during a class period set aside
for “show and tell.” The
students shared both their
unusual stories and the insights
they had gained while con-
ducting interviews for the first
Oklahoma City survey, a pro-
ject undertaken by the
methods and statistics class of
Associate Professor Harold
Grasmick and Assistant Pro-
fessor Will Scott.
The purpose of the survey is
twofold: it will provide
valuable field experience for
the graduate students and it
will record the feelings of area
residents on such subjects as
crime, religious beliefs,
alcoholism and tax reform
programs.
The ten students in the class
were assisted by thirty hired in-
terviewers in questioning 400
people of the Oklahoma City
area. As of last week, 326 in-
terviews had been completed,
and Scott estimated that all of
the interviews would be finish-
ed sometime this week.
Before conducting an inter-
view, the researchers sent let-
ters explaining the purpose of

son was greeted with, “I’m so
glad you called because I have
to get my teeth fixed!”
Another woman spent twenty
minutes explaining she was not
the nurse for whom a family
had been waiting for twodays.
One student was met at the
door by a woman’s frantic cry:
“I can’t pay it!" He was able
to interview her only after he
assured her he was not a bill
collector.
Once the students finally
entered the household, they
could be fairly sure they would
spend about an hour and a half
collecting data in a routine
manner, (hough one graduate
spent 35 minutes recording an
OU student’s responses and 3
i/i hours doing the same with
an elderly couple.
But one woman, seeking the
man of the house, was told by
the man’s wife to go to “the
back room” to find him. She
went where she was directed
and found the man in his
bedroom, wearing only a
bathrobe and scrambling
desperately to hide under the
bed.
Two students seemed to
have made favorable impres-
sions upon the people with
whom they had talked. One
was offered a job with a major
company for $6.50 an hour
and the other, a young woman,
received a proposal of mar-
riage from an 84-year-old
man.
These experiences, though,
were the exceptions to the rule,
the professors and students
agreed. Scott said most of the

The graduates began this
project in September and for-
mulated questions to test par-
ticular sociological theories.
Some expressed doubts last
week as to the validity of their
hypotheses, as they fell each
person was unique and could
not fit into a category.
However, during the discus-
sion of their findings, it
became more apparent to the
students that certain groups of
people did share certain
beliefs, Scott said.
