The 145 high school principals and 317 student newspaper advisers who answered questionnaires in this 1974 survey provided information about the following topics: adult responsibility for student publications, advisers' qualifications, financial support arrangements, space and facilities available, general support of students' First Amendment rights, principals' and advisers' attitudes toward student publications and teenagers in general, journalism instruction, school board control of publications, school news and news coverage, editorial content, sensitivity of principals to criticism, newspaper evaluation, ideals and values, and the exercise of freedom of the press in student newspapers. Responses indicated a generally restrictive attitude among principals and advisers toward freedom of the school press in those schools for which data were available. (KS)
