In fact, excluding Rice, the top sixteen national universities are all ranked in the top twenty in reputation. The fact that reputation was one of the criteria on which the overall rankings were based indicates that Rice must have had superior marks in all other categories. What will it take to vault us into the top five or higher in the rankings? Obviously, the answer is to improve Rice's reputation. U.S. News writes, "In a world where perception is everything, a school's reputation or lack of it can make a crucial difference to job- seeking graduates...prospective students need to know if the name at the top of that diploma will open doors or whether it will prompt puzzled interviewers to ask, 'where's that?'" The problem is that relative to other schools ranked in the top twenty-five, Rice is still a "where's that?" university. As long as this is the case, do not expect Rice to ever gain a higher ranking than we have now. VP SHOWDOWN What can be done to improve Rice's reputation? Tripling the budget of the Career Services Center was a step in the right direction. This funding will enable Bob Sanborn and his staff to promote Rice students to companies whose initial response is "where's that?" In the event that new recruiters hire Rice graduates, it is certain that they will wonder why they didn't recruit here earlier. Also, improved Race a legitimate hiring criterion funding for University Relations has helped. To the editors: though being black implies a research methodology, personal There is also a line of reasoning that increased tuition will improve Bill Bauer's categorical rejection of candidate is less than best. vitality, and a huge range of Rice's reputation.
