annually remains in the top 25.
"They tell you what are the top tier
of U.S. universities. We're in the tier
every year," Harrison said.
University President James
Duderstadt echoed the sentiment that
the non-academic categories skew the
ranking for public universities.
"The surveys are really based on
very weird things," he said. "There
are facts that discriminate againstpub-
lic universities."
For anyone who still follows the
University's fluctuation in the annual
ranking, its 1990 spot was 21st, 1991
was 22nd and last year was 24th. The
leap to 23rd seems to be bucking the
downward trend of the past few years.
This marks the first year the Uni-
versity of Notre Dame was among the
top universities.
Harvard University - the top
ranked - got scores of 1st, 1st, 3rd,
6th, 1st and 29th in the respective
categories.
COMMENT

have an impact on the amendment.
She said the bylaw is intended to
apply to individuals, not campus
groups.
Associate Prof. of English Marlon
Ross said the campus needs this
amendment. He suggested that the
University's lack of a bylaw prohibit-
ing discrimination based on sexual
orientation could cause prospective
staff and students to think twice be-
fore coming to the University.
"I was dismayed to discover that
the University at the highest level has
not acted to ensure tolerance to all
members of this community, exclud-
ing those who happen to be gay, les-
bian or bisexual," he said.
Meredith Uy, a second-year medi-
cal student and president of the Chris-
tian Medical and Dental Society,
claimed that the University does not
need to add this amendment because it
is already "tilted" toward gay and les-
bian groups and away from religious

groups.
"To my knowledge there are cur-
rently two full-time staff persons for
the Lesbian-Gay Male Programs Of-
fice while there is only one person in
the Office of Ethics and Religion.
"Discrimination against religious
groups on campus is largely ignored,"
she said.
Van Harrison, a post-graduate fac-
ulty member in medicine, criticized
the regents for not acting sooner on
amending the bylaw to be in concur-
rence with an almost decade-old presi-
dential policy.
Assistant Dean of the Law School
Virginia Gordan used examples of the
"real and ugly" discrimination against
lesbians, gay men and bisexuals she
said exists on campus.
"In my work I hear of derogatory
comments about gay people made ca-
sually in passing conversations in hall-
ways, lunchrooms, dorms and class-
rooms. I hear of them and I hear the
comments myself," she said.
Heather Brunsink, president of the
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship,
argued that there was not enough pub-
lic input on the issue.
"Is it right to make a decision with-
out even letting the public know this
issue is even being considered? I won-
der how many students know that this
proposal is being debated here today
or how many members of the faculty
know what's going on today, how
many parents of students at this Uni-
versity know," she said..
"I think the regents cannot legiti-
mately pass this proposal without con-
sidering the thoughts and opinions of
the people who comprise this Univer-
sity."
Despite the protests of half of the
speakers, McGowan and Deitch said
after the meeting they still plan to
propose the amendment adding gays,
lesbians and bisexuals toBylaw 14.06,
but they will not include an exemp-
tion for religious groups, as many of
the speakers had requested.
Deitch said that will still be pro-
tected under the First Amendment,
which takes precedence over the re-
gental bylaw.
Regent Deane Baker (R-Ann Ar-
bor) said he will oppose the amend-
ment. "I oppose the bylaw. I think it's
not necessary. There is not discrimi-
nation on this campus against homo-
sexuals," he said.
He noted that gays, lesbians and
bisexuals are hired, promoted and ad-
mitted to the University and said that
there are other courses of action avail-
able to anyone who feels they have
been discriminated against.
The majority of the regents said
they were in favor of the amendment,
but some said they had reservations.
Regent Shirley McFee (R-Battle
Creek) said she supports the amend-
ment in principle but she would have
reservations if the amendment is pro-
posed as Deitch and McGowen are
planning.
She said she is waiting to see the
impact on such organizations as the
Reserve Officer Training Corps
(ROTC) and affirmative action.
"I do believe this is a group of
individuals who have been selected
out for negative action on the part of
society and all society. I would cer-
tainly like to give (the amendment) a
try.
McGowan and Deitch have said
they will propose the amendment at
today's regents' meeting, which be-
gins at 9 a.m. in the Regents' Room of
the Fleming Administration Building.

Clinton asked for help in persuad-
ing the public the current system is
grossly inefficient. Clinton's plan to
provide universal coverage is ex-
pected to cost an additional $350
billion over five years.
"It is still sinking in on our fellow
citizens," Clinton said.
"There's still a lot of people that
don't think we're going to get this
done," Clinton said.
He also said the system has dete-
HEALTH
riorated so much that it will be pos-
sible to form a national consensus.
"We don't wantto rush this thing;
it's too complicated," Clinton said.
"But we don't want to delay it, using
complexity as an excuse."
Clinton asked for help in press-
ing members of Congress to keep
pledges of bipartisanship on the is-
sue.
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Tip-
per Gore spoke, as well.

Bentsen crossed the state of Penn-
