pfhree positions in medical schools;
while Yale, Harvard and Stanford
were the highest-ranking among
law schools.
H Dr. Elvin Smith, associate dean
of the College of Medicine at
■&M, said the survey is more of
an opinion than a rating. Smith
said the traditional schools such as
Harvard and Yale tend to domi-

The top 25 business schools
were also ranked using two repu
tational surveys and statistical
data that measured the selection
of students, placement success af
ter graduation and the rate of
graduation.
For graduate business schools,
Stanford took the lead followed by
Harvard, the University of Penn
sylvania, Northwestern Universi
ty and MIT.
For the first time in the three
year history of the U.S. News sur
vey, the graduate business pro
gram at A&M made the top 50.
"Our college is very pleased to
be included in the ranking," said
Dan Robertson, associate dean for
academic affairs.
"We are the youngest college of
business administration that they
have ever ranked."
Robertson said there is not a
definite ranking among graduate
business programs, because the
criteria are not usually agreed on.
The U.S. News survey is one of
the better surveys, he said, be
cause it is based on a more diverse
set of criteria.
For the first time this year, the
magazine ranked liberal arts grad
uate programs, such as economics,
English, history, political science,
psychology and sociology.
The ranking criteria was based
on scholarly production, the quali
ty of the curriculum and the repu
tation of its faculty and students.
The University of Texas at
Austin ranked 15th in graduate
programs in sociology, psycholo
gy and law school. U.T. came in
eighth in engineering and 20th in
graduate business school.

don't see anything in the results
today that dislodges Bill Clinton
from what appears to be a path to
ward the nomination," he said.
"We had a small setback in
Connecticut tonight," Clinton told
a New York City rally. "What it
tells us is that the people of this
country do not want this process
to be over and we don't want it to
be over, either."
He said he had always expect
ed the competition to go on until
June 2, when New Jersey and Cali
fornia hold the last major pri
maries.
Clinton's remarks put the best
face on the unexpected outcome,
but the mission of any presidential
campaign is to foreclose the pro
cess by winning it as swiftly as
possible.
Brown, asked whether he had
slowed Clinton's campaign, said,
"The people have slowed it
down."
With 100 percent of the
precincts counted in the Demo
cratic primary, it was:
Brown 63,624 or 37 percent.
Clinton 60,894 or 36 percent.
Tsongas 33,493 or 20 percent.
At home in Lowell, Mass.,
Tsongas said his share of the vote
was a product of momentum and
a validation of his message of eco
nomic realism. "It shows you
what happens when I don't cam
paign," he joked. "I think next
time I won't run."
In the Republican primary, the
outcome was:
Bush 64,954 or 67 percent.
Buchanan 21,568 or 22 percent.
Nine percent was uncommit

Phillip Johnson is a graduate of Harvard and the University of Chicago. He was a law clerk
for Chief Justice Earl Warren of the United States Supreme Court, and has taught law for
over twenty years at the University of California at Berkeley. He took up the study of
Darwinism because he saw that the books defending the theory were dogmatic and
unconvincing. He wrote the book Darwin On Trial to give Americans the information they
need to make up their own minds.
