Corrections & Amplifications
In the last issue:
We misspelled Contributing Writer Melvyn Mahon's name
in the byline and photo credit for "Alumni Giving: Putting a
down payment on the House." The name should be Alejandro
Cortez Vasquez Smith. We apologize for any confusion.
We neglected to put Sports Editor Joe Carlos' byline on the
piece "The Love movement: Come out and be a part of it," but
we figured that if you don't know who Joe is by now, you're out
of the loop.
We forgot to mention that Sugafist is a junior drama major
at Morehouse. No, really, drama.
The photo credit for the homecoming poster on the back
page belongs to Cedric Dark. We do this entirely to appease
Cedric's humongpus ego. I mean, how many of y'all read photo
credits anyway? Or "Corrections" for that matter?
We should be ashamed of ourselves, but we have no shame.
Oh, that reminds me - subscriptions to The Maroon Tiger are
available at $15 for a year of hard-hitting; excessively Black,
excessively male journalism. The first ten subscribers receive a

Students rate Morehouse
By Howard Franklin
Staff Writer
A recent student survey
places Morehouse among the
top twenty of the nation's best
colleges — but mostly for the
wrong reasons.
The college ranks ninth in
lowest reported use of
marijuana and eleventh in
lowest consumption of hard
liquor among 311 colleges
nationwide.
That's the good news.
However, the survey also
ranks the college second in
discrimination against gay
students, and fourth in both
"long lines and red tape" and
"dorms like dungeons."
The rankings are based on
research conducted by the
Princeton Review, and appear
in the 1998 edition of "The Best
311 Colleges."
The largest ongoing poll of
student opinions of their
colleges, the study uses a
representative sample of 150-
200 students at each of the 311
institutions, totaling 56,000
students in all.
Its 60 ranking lists reveal
the top 20 (or bottom 20)
colleges in several categories
based on what the students
attending the colleges say
about them.
At Morehouse, business,
pre-medical science,
engineering, and pre-law
studies claim over half the
students, the
survey said. At
least half of the
recent graduates
go on to pursue
graduate degrees.
Although it is
the benefactor of
several recent
renovations, the
campus "has seen
better days," said
the students
polled. They also
reported that their
professors are
excellent teachers
but do not always
make themselves
readily available outside the
classroom.
Overall, though, the
publication concluded that
student satisfaction was high.
The published report
yielded little surprise among
Morehouse undergraduates.
Some, however, expressed
skepticism about certain
rankings.
Dashene Cooper, a
sophomore economics major,
disagreed with the contention
that drug use is low.
"More and more,
marijuana usage is becoming
accepted as the norm because
students no longer perceive it
as taboo," said Cooper.
Alex Stewart, a senior
marketing major, said the
college would fare better with
a little more input from all.
"Our administration
seems average compared to
others," he said. "Dr. Massey
has done a lot, while others
seem to do nothing. It
balances itself out."

Massey outlines administrative changes
Continued from page 1
Eddie Gaffney will assume the
title of Dean of Student Affairs.
In the interview with the
paper, Massey said this was
not a demotion for Gaffney.
"Dean Gaffney will now
report directly to me, instead
of having to go through two
layers of bureaucracy, thereby
streamlining our operations,"
he said.
Gaffney, too, did not
return calls.
The Athletic Department
is also currently under review
to examine the appropriate
role of athletics in the
academic curriculum.
The department's
reporting structure will be
finalized upon the completion
of the committee's review. In
the meantime, Vice President
James Hall is overseeing the
department.
•The Office of Policy and
Planning and the Office of
Institutional Research will be
consolidated under the
umbrella of the Office of
Institutional Advancement,
Research and Planning.
Under this plan, the
position of Vice Provost of
Research will be eliminated,
and the Director of Sponsored
Research, Nathaniel White,
will handle the duties of
current Vice Provost Obie
Clayton.
Massey said the change
was made in consultation with
Clayton.
Massey has also created a
new position, the Special
Assistant to the President of
Academic Affairs. The part-
time interim position is
currently being filled by Dr.
Willis Sheftall, who will assist
in the day to day coordination
between departments.
