Over-30 'Squares'
• Cling to Values
WIN AT BRIDGE
Good Planning
• Beats Any Lead
By Oswald & James Jacoby
Its a square world after all—or a square country, any-
way.
In spite of popular tears and publicity in the news media
to the contrary, most Americans still see themselves as
"happy, home loving, clean and square"
This is the opinion of William D Wells, professor of
psychology and marketing in the Graduate School of Busi-
ness of the University of Chicago, after analyzing a recent
large-scale survey of American attitudes made by Market
Facts, Inc and the Leo Burnett Co
The findings give little support to thenoiam
that Americans are depressed, confused and weary, that
their traditional ideas have crumbled and that the "old-
fashioned virtues" mean nothing any mere, says Wells ,
* On the other hand, they confirm that a wide gap ex.”,
between bearded, swinging youth and the over-30 .
"squares" who comprise the,large majority of American
adults
