College
By BUD ROSENFIELD
This year's college sourcebooks,
usually the bane of admissions of-
icials, should have University of-
icials and alumni boasting and
bragging more than ever before.
Those handy sourcebooks aimed at
nfluencing the dwindling pool of
qualified high school students have
much praise for the University and
ittle criticism. From the purely sub-
ective guidebook to the more
ystematic ones, the University is
eceiving high marks.
THE UNIVERSITY'S un-
dergraduate schools draw consisten-
ly rave reviews. Cass and Bir-
mbaum's Competitive Guide to
American Colleges, 11th edition
$12.95) coins the phrase "Mother of
State Universities" when referring to
he University. They also call it "one
of the very few giant universities that
has achieved both quantity and
quality education."
Education editor of the New York
Times, Edward Fiske, wrote in his
new guide The 100 Best Buys in
College Education ($9.95) that the
University "has always been a big at-
raction because it is consistently
rated with Ivy League schools and
other big name institutions in
academic excellence."
CASS AND Birnbaum's guide,
which includes a specific rating
ystem for assessing a university's
academic standing and selectivity,
laces the University in its "very
elective" category. Factual
background information such as SAT
cores and high school rank form the
basis of this guide's ratings system.
Barron's Profiles of American
Colleges ($12.95) has a similar system
vhich refers to median SAT scores,
nedian ACT scores, high school rank,
sourcel
G.P.A. required for admission, and
percent of students who are accepted.
Placing in the third highest of nine
categories, the University ranks
"Highly Competitve."
For a more subjective rating, there
are a host of reference books, all
giving a peak into the side of college
life not found in slick university
publications.
EDWARD FISKE'S The Selective
Guide to Colleges ($9.95) bases his
reviews on a university's "reputation
in the academic world," quality of its
faculty, level of its teaching and
research, quality of its libraries, and
the "academic seriousness" among
the students and faculty. These aspec-
ts taken together win the University
five stars, the publication's highest
honors.
Another more subjective view of
colleges, the Insider's Guide to the
Colleges, ($9.95) was compiled by the
staff of the Yale Daily News. This
book states that the University's
engineering and pre-med students
receive "an education that can be
equalled by only a few other univer-
sities."
The same publication also com-
mends the Honors Program here for
its "excellence, personalized instruc-
tion" and "good counseling." This
and other sourcebooks mention the
Pilot Program, the Residential
College, The American Institutions
Internship, and the Hopwood Creative
Writing Program as additional
highlights of the University's overall
programs.
The University's graduate and
professional schools are perhaps even
more highly rated than its un-
dergraduate programs.
Goldfarb's Inside the Law Schools
says of the University's law school:

Many guidebooks noted that the diversity of the stud
