Survey Results!

And the results are in, we had 869 responses. Since there is a lot of information to look at click here to se the detailed results.

Here is the quick and dirty executive summary for those that dont feel like reading through it all:
Strong support for music (45%) and music and a comedian (37%). Comparably weak support for only a comedian (17%).

Strong support for one large act (83%).

Genres (Top 5):
Based on Most Interested Only:
  1. Rock (488)
  2. Comedy (349)
  3. Metal (150) / Country (150)
  4. Hip Hop/Rap/Rapcore (127)
  5. Pop (125)
Based on Most Interested + .5*(Interested)
  1. Rock (607.5)
  2. Comedy (454.5)
  3. Hip Hop/Rap/Rapcore (237)
  4. Ska, Reggae, Dub (233)
  5. Pop (212)
Based on (Most Interested + .5*(Interested)) - (No Way! + .5*(Not Interested))
  1. Rock (555.5)
  2. Comedy (300)
  3. Country(-24.5)
  4. Ska, Reggae, Dub (-69.5)
  5. Metal (-97)
Other breakdowns are possible, but they are left as an exercise to the reader -- for instance we could have counted the neurtal votes as postive or negative.

The rest of the data seems representative of the campus (male/female response rate, class break ups etc), suggesting that the survey is an accurate picture of the campus.

We will use this data to generate a possible act survey in the near future.

Thanks!

How about getting some punk rock such as The Ataris or The Academy Is. Dane Cook would be great but I imagine he would be way too expensive for this college.
