* UI has been named one of America's Top 50
universities. Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine has ranked UI
48th among the 100 best public colleges in the country, 11th in the West and
second in the Pacific Northwest. It is the first time UI has made the Top 50
in Kiplinger's. Two years ago, the last time the magazine ranked public
universities, UI ranked 69th. Others in the Top 50 include The Ohio State
University, University of Washington and UCLA. The rankings are based on
quality measures - such as entrance exam scores of the freshman class of
2001 and how many freshmen returned for their sophomore year - as well as
financial measures, including total cost and the average debt a student
accumulates before graduation. President Bob Hoover
said inclusion in Kiplinger's Top 50 "demonstrates that despite recent fee
increases for students, the UI continues to be one of the best college
values in the country. Moreover, our goal since adoption of the UI Strategic
Plan has been to be ranked among the top 50 public universities in the
United States, and this recognition allows us to achieve that goal."
* UI Fight Song: Portland Oregonian
columnist Norm Maves, Jr. recently ranked UI's fight song as the No. 1
college fight song in the country. "'Go Vandals' is the once and future king
of college fight songs," he said, "with a fanfare lead-in that could
motivate a successful infantry charge."
