Bed races were a high point of this year ' s Greek Week for both participants and observers. (BIUWOOD) Problems are bound to ensue as the U-M continually strives to right its wrongs and improve the quality of every aspect of the University, not only for national rankings, but for its students as well. The University ' s Reputation. A 1990... REFLECTION -. - ' -4 As the most pricey public university in the nation, the University of Michigan has prided itself on offering an education equal in quality and breadth to any Ivy League school. In U.S. Neivs and World Report ' s 1989 survey, the U-M moved from 25th to 17th in overall ranking. The University ' s reputation is consistantly high despite large class sizes and loss of prestigious faculty like political science professor, Ali Mazrui. Perhaps its high- profile athletic department or extensive research thrust the University into the national spotlight; whatever the reason, the U-M attracts even the network media. In Feburary, CBS This Morning broadcast live from Ann Arbor. The program highlighted student life, current campus issues, and Michigan tradition. Flaring up on campuses across the nation in recent years, racial tensions have been especially volatile at the U-M. The problem was recognized and footage of the newly created Diversity Day was shown. There is no question that problems will persist. But problems are bound to ensue as the U- M continually strives to right its wrongs and improve the quality of every aspect of the University, not only for national rankings, but for its students as well. by Jennifer Worick 2 PROLOGUE
