'MagAct96-98': MagAct96-98 - Extracurricular affiliation data by year (1996-1998)

Description

For each ``magact'' data frame, there are IDs, gender attributes (1 = male, 2 = female, 3 = unknown, . = missing), GRD is grade level ( 13 = 12th grade in 1996, 12 = 11th grader 1996, 11 = 10th grader in 1996, 10 = 9th grader in 1996, and so on for 1996. Note, these are consistent over the entire data set (1997 and 1998) and reflect age. "." and " " are missing), RCE is racial group membership ( 5 = native American, 4 = white, 3 = black, 2 = Asian, 1 = Hispanic, "." and " " are missing).

MagAttrib consists of the attribute subset of the above provided in a separate data frame for convenience.

The other columns represent club affiliations in that year.

IDs are consistent across years.
