8 Respondents were asked, “If you were looking for a new position for September, 1972, were you ready to change positions only if the right job was offered or was finding new employment by September not a matter of choice?” Those responding that finding new employment was not a matter of choice were viewed as having fewer alternatives than those stating that they would change positions only if the right position was offered.

11 A preliminary analysis of the 1972–73 departmental survey data (figures on demand) and the 1973 placement class (figures on supply) by the APSA National Office has been completed. The data indicate that the number of new political scientists on the job market for 1973 has increased from the previous year while at the same time the number of new academic positions available has decreased.
