<br /> November 12 and November 19. A few surveys were returned <br /> later and incorporated into the final sample. Six hundred <br /> and thirteen completed and usable surveys were returned. <br /> While the 613 original returns represented a <br /> statistically valid sample of the San Marcos community, an <br /> inspection of returns indicated that the response rate from <br /> SWTSU students was somewhat higher than for non-student <br /> residents. From a statistical perspective, this would mean <br /> that breaking the sample down for comparative purposes would <br /> yield a margin of error possibility for residents slightly <br /> higher than for students. Since a comparison of resident and <br /> student populations was to be an essential component of this <br /> study, it was deemed appropriate to supplement the resident <br /> sample with additional surveys. Using the same methodology <br /> described above, an additional sample of non-student <br /> residents was selected. Interviews with this sample were <br /> conducted during the month of F~bruary, 1991. <br /> The final sample consists of responses from 848 <br /> residents of San Marcos, including 504 non-student residents <br /> and 344 SWTSU students. Among the 504 non-student residents <br /> 394 (78.2%) respondents indicated their racejethnicity to be <br /> "white" and 92 (18.3%) respondents indicated their <br /> racejethnicity to be "Hispanic" [see end note #1].
