Magazine Ranks
USF on Third Tier
Critics fault U.S. News & World Report
college study for unscientific findings
Lynna Do
Assistant News Editor
For the second consecutive
year, U.S. News & World Report
has ranked USF in the third of
four tiers amongst national universities.
The magazine ranks over 200
schools annually. USF's "third-
tier" placement means that it falls
somewhere be
tween the
places of 116 to
172.
News of the
ranking, which
was published
in the Sept. 16
issue,
prompted lukewarm reaction
on    the   USF 	
campus.
"[The ranking] is not held in high regard,"
said Chris Krzak, assistant director and operations manager for
Admissions.
Krzak said that the Admissions
staff doesn't consider the ranking
very important, partly because of
the way the rankings are compiled.
"The staffs at each school rate
'[The ranking] is not

themselves," he said.
Administrators at other universities slammed the report as well.
"Once an institution submits
the data, they have no control
over what U.S. News does with it,"
Loris Davanzo, an analyst with
the UC Berkeley Budget and
Planning Office, was quoted as
saying in the Daily Californian.
Berkeley   was
  ranked    27th
overall.
This year's
top 10 National Universities, which do
not include liberal arts colleges and
universities,
  are, in order:
Yale University,
Princeton University, Harvard University, Duke
University, Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT),
Stanford University, Darthmouth
College, Brown University, California Institute of Technology and
Northwestern University (which
tied for 9th).

Whirlwind Youth 2000 Tour
Rlls McLaren With Song
Popular retreat
teaches experiencing Jesus
Les Shu
Foghorn Staff Writer  *
Filled with prayers and songs, the
McLaren Center was the site ofthe
Youth 2000 Retreat held from Sept.
13 to Sept. 16.
With about 350 people attending the three-day retreat, Youth 2000
consisted of talks, workshops, mass,
rosaries, and songs.
"The retreat is to help people find
Jesus and to know Him as a friend
and a loving God," said Anne
Brawley, national director of Youth
2000 in the United States.
Youth 2000 was founded in Europe by an Englishman named
Ernest Williams. Inspired by Pope
John Paul Il's-message at the World
Youth Day keld in 1989 in
Santiago de Compostello, Spain,
Williams started the retreat hoping to unite the youth ofthe world
through Jesus and the celebration
ofthe Eucharist.
The first retreat was held in 1990
in former Yugoslavia and had 6,000
youth in attendence. That success
led to rapid growth in Europe from
England to Germany, and then to
the rest ofthe world from Trinidad
to Australia.
Dallas was the first U.S. site of
Youth 2000 in June of 1992 with
700 attendants, mostly young
people.
"This year is the first time Youth
2000 has been held in San Francisco," Brawley said. "USF is a beautiful campus and San Francisco is a
beautiful setting."
Due to the popularity of the re
treat, Youth 2000 is booked until
1998 and will not be back in San
Francisco anytime soon.
"We have one weekend retreat
per city, and right after San Francisco we will be in Washington,
D.C.," Brawley added.
According to Brawley, the purpose is for young people to have the
true belief in the real presence ofthe
Eucharist.
"The purpose of Youth 2000 is

When Kids in the
Halls Go Bad
Judical Board solves disputes
Monique Jewett
Foghorn Staff Writer
Students living in the residence halls generally have
some idea as to what happens
when policies are not followed. Most residents know
that documentation of the
policy violation is taken in the
form of an "incident report,"
which is then forwarded to
the director of the appropriate hall. What happens after
that, however, remains a mystery to a good portion of the
students residing on campus.
This is where the Residence Hall Judicial Board
comes into effect. Established
last year, the Judicial Board is
