Over the last couple of years, the Universi ty of Louisville has been working on a variety of renovation and major construction projects, which are part of U of L' 1993 Long Range Development Pl an.

He expects between 200 to 300 applicants to have responded by January of 1995. Only the final two or three candidates will be made public. Heidrick and Struggles, Inc ., a search firm hired by the committee for $50,000 plus expenses, is helping with the screening process of the ca ndidates and providing portfolio summari es. They also provide background and reference checks at the committee's request. The search committee has tentatively schedu led to pare down the list of candidates to 15 to 20 in early February, and two or three in early March.

Page 6 Latest rankings reposition U of L as research-oriented institution Uoflmoves closer to UK ranking and better federal funding By Anthony Perkinson Staff Writer The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has just published their latest report which ranks universities nationwide, including the University ofl..ouisville. Camegie'sclassification, which started in 1970, is considered a valuable tool for campus officials to compare their institutions among the nation's elite. Many researchers use it to assess the changing state of higher education. The latest Carnegie ratings include over 3,600 colleges and universities which grant degrees that are accredited by any agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education. Institutions are rated by numerous factors, some of those being: level of degrees awarded, number of degrees conferred by discipline, se lectivity of admissions, and amount of federal research support received. The Carnegie Foundation also uses information from the U.S. Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, the National Science Foundation, the College Board, and the 1994 Higher Education Directory. Schools are classified into different categories, the four highest being the Doctoral Universities 11, Doctoral Universities I, Research Universities II, and Research Universities I. The Doctoral II offers a full range of baccalaureate programs, with at least I 0 doctoral degrees in three or more disciplines, or 20 in one or more, per year. The Doctoral I offers the same, but with at least 40 doctorals annually in five or more disci plines. The Research I, which is U of L's current ranking, offers 50 doctorals per year, and receive $ 15.5 to $40 million in federal support. The Research II schools offer 50 or more doctorals. receive $40 million or more in federal support, and give very high priority to research. The University ofl..ouisvi llecurrcntly receives about $17 to $18 million in federal support per year. Indirect costs, such as library expenditures, receive$3. 7 million, and the rest is distributed for research to administrative costs. A schools rating can be very important to their fu ture, according to David Cohn, the assistant to the vice president for research. "When you fall into a cia ification of research you are in a league of schools. What it means to faculty and staff is salaries. For students, the cost of tu ition," Cohn sa id. U of L has been a Doctoral I universi ty until this year's Carnegie Report came out. The jump to a Research II See COHN, Page 3 Students gain experience providing world with Breeder's Cup information By Anthony Perkinson Staff Writer Twenty U of L students recently became the first reporters to cover a major event for the Internet, the collection of computer networks that connect the globe. The Breeders Cup, held on ov. 5 at Churchill Downs, was given extra attention this year as information about jockeys, trainers, horses and the races themselves was broadcast for everyone to see, via computer. The Internet coverage was the idea of Hugh Finn, a former WAVE-TV anchor and part-time U of L instructor. He used the program as an assignment for his communications clas . " I wanted them to write for a real audience, not just one person. With this, they can reach up to 25 million people. We have already had about 2,5 people tap in, and that'sonly for 10 days," Finn said. The program got its start in August, with tudents working on the project almost nonstop during Oct ber and right up to Nov. 5. On the day of the Breeders Cup, two of Finn's tudent s, teven Poindexter and Paige Brooks, fed the information in using a tenminal located at the hurchill Down press box. " Paige and I alternated writing stories and putting them in. I also g t to interview many of "You learn a lot more than just sitting and reading out of a textbook. And being the first class to do it just makes your adrenaline pump that much harder." the jockeys. I thought it was a great experience," Poindexter said. The Internet coverage of the races also featured side storie and pictures to compliment the program. After getting into the system, users could click onto hundreds of different files to get information on just about anything they wanted to know about the event. Almost every horse from every race wa covered individually with an accompanying photo. The same was done with the jockeys, and many were even interviewed by the students. The current temperature and overall weather conditions were available to those who were Charles Olmstead, junior following from places other than Louisville. Track conditions were updated continuously, which is of big concern to many bettors. "The whole thing went about perfect. Everyone worked really hard on it," Finn said. " I hope to cover it again next year, hopefully with full motion video." Charles Olmstead a junior in Finn's class, said the project has made the class much more interesting than he expected.
