First-year college students' opinions of the personal and social contributions of television were measured in a survey using students in a basic speech class. Students thought television did a good job in providing entertainment and stimulating interest in public problems. Their major criticisms were that television commercials discouraged understanding of political issues and encouraged the development of false standards of social behavior. They also thought commercials aroused demand for unnecessary products. Some students believed that television offered too easy an opportunity for escapism. The statements concerning the utility of television to improve personal and family social norms received little support. (JK)
