"The things we rate are things that make the schools fun to go to," said publisher Aaron Shapiro, 21, a Harvard senior. While researchers considered "ease of classes" and "ease of grad uation," Shapiro insisted they don't view the top schools as filled with brain-dead party animals. The top 10, in order, were: Florida State, the University of California at Santa Barbara, Ver mont, Rice, Georgetown, Syra cuse, Alabama, Penn State, Con necticut and Tulane. The University of Chicago was No. 300. Others in the bottom 10, in de scending order, were: Yale, Tufts, Oral Roberts, California Institute of Technology, Brigham Young University, the U.S. Naval Acade my, Johns Hopkins, the Rochester Institute of Technology, and the U.S. Military Academy. Continued from Page 1 "If people could kill the justice minister, which is unacceptable, why not kill a lot of parliamentari ans? What would block them from killing me or anybody else?" pro-Aristide Sen. Jacques Rony Mondestin said. Justice Minister Guy Malary's death on Oct. 11 was the latest in a series of attacks on Aristide supporters since a U.N. plan to restore democracy was signed July 3. Mondestin spoke after meeting Malval at his home. Caputo's appeal to former world leaders is a desperate at tempt to bring back Aristide, the country's first democratically elected president. The effort is supported by many Haitians but opposed by factions in the power ful military and tiny elite that have traditionally ruled this im poverished nation. Last week, two pro-Aristide deputies went into hiding after re ceiving death threats, as other Aristide supporters and human rights officials have done. In a television interview and crowded news conference, Caputo urged the statesmen to fly in quickly to serve as "witnesses to the world" and "moral protec tion" for legislators. Among those invited were Jim my Carter, Canada's Brian Mul- roney, Argentina's Raul Alfonsin, Brazil's Jose Sarney, Jamaica's Michael Manley and Julio San- guinetti of Uruguay. U.N. officials did not say if any had yet accepted, but Caputo urged their presence for parlia mentary sessions this week. No reservation requests had been made by midday Monday at the mountainside Hotel Montana where Caputo has his offices. Carter's spokeswoman, Carrie Harmon, said the former president had not heard directly from the U.N. envoy or the United Nations. A spokesman for Alfonsin said the former president would speak with Caputo, his former foreign minister, about the spe cial envoy's request. Caputo's plan won quick sup port from the United States. "Anything that would assist in the security of the parliamentari ans is a good sign," embassy spokesman Stanley Schrager told The Associated Press. Even an anti-Aristide lawmak er welcomed Caputo's gesture. "We wish for political and inter national personalities to be here with us," said Deputy Ancelot Venort. In Washington, President Clin ton defended his administration's Haiti policy against criticism from Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kansas, who said that returning Aristide to power wasn't worth a single American life. "The United States has an in terest in avoiding large-scale out pourings of refugees, making sure the country is not a conduit for drug deliveries to this country, and promoting democracy in our hemisphere," Clinton said. "And we're pursuing that policy."
