Judith A. Long '61, an Edmands Hall Radcliffe majoring in Soc Rel, has an idea that "something in the position of Radcliffe girls generates myths." A pilot The questionnaire, which was distributed to 20 freshmen and 20 seniors at Radcliffe, presents stereotypical ideas Many of the one-sentence characterizations offered for comment have aroused considerable interest. Miss Long said that they were based on a pilot study done last spring. Some of the more entrancing ones are "Radcliffe girls are pushy, and do not defer to men," "Radcliffe girls are unchaste," "Radcliffe girls are neurotic and maladjusted," and perhaps most intriguing, "Radcliffe girls sleep around, but only with Harvard men who are in Group L."

A particularly tantalizing one says, "The rash of literature chronicling Harvard-Radcliffe love affairs...covers a range from the near-epic to the super-mundane. The stories have in common with each other a variety of unhappy endings....

In fact, the Radcliffe girls in this picture..." And there it stops.
