University remains high in Fiske Guide's ranking
The University of Kansas is one of three Big 12 Conference schools to receive a ranking of four stars out of five in the new Fiske Guide to Colleges.
KU was also named one of the guide's 19 "best buy" public universities for overall value.
The University's ranking has remained stable at four stars in recent years, said Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations.
"We've been consistently on the best buys list and consistently on the top three in the Big 12," Cohen said.
KU also received four out of five stars for quality of life and social life. The Fiske Guide did not designate the University one of its "party schools," a distinction reserved for schools that receive five stars in the social life category.
KU students gave the best reviews for the University's programs in architecture, business and journalism, according to the survey.
The University of Texas and the University of Colorado were the only other Big 12 Conference universities to receive overall four-star rankings. Six others earned three stars. None received five stars.
The guide profiles more than 300 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.

Volunteer Fair to offer several service options
More than a dozen national and local volunteer organizations will be represented at the fair, including the KU Center for Community Outreach.
The University Career and Employment Services will sponsor a Volunteer Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, in the fourth floor lobby of the Kansas Union.
Ann Hartley, UCES associate director, said that this was the second year the UCES had co-sponsored the Volunteer Fair and that she hoped the event would provide numerous service opportunities to KU students.
"We're hoping to get greater visibility on campus for these kind of opportunities and that students find that these are good opportunities in terms of building service skills and resumes," she said.
Hartley said that the service organizations were seeking both undergrad
uate and graduate students to participate in their programs.
"There should be something there for everybody," she said.

Flu vaccine shortage to delay distribution
A nationwide flu vaccine shortage will delay Watkins Memorial Health Center's distribution of the vaccine.
The shots, which are usually available in September, will be delayed at least a month because of the shortage.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said he did not know when the shots would be available or whether Watkins would get as many shots as it requested. Watkins physicians increased the number of vaccines they ordered from 2,500 vaccinations last year to 3,000 this year in hones of supplying students.
The shortage came from manufacturing setbacks and unexpectedly slow growth of the vaccine in laboratories.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration and manufacturers of the vaccine are sure that vaccines will be available for people who are at higher risk, including those older than 60 and those who have weaker immune systems.
The shots will be available not only at Watkins but also eight off-site locations when the shots become available.

Teen-agers shoot each other with same gun
NEW ORLEANS — Two teen-age boys shot each other with the same gun during a fight at their middle school Tuesday after a 13-year-old expelled student slipped the weapon to one of them through a fence, authorities said.
The wounded boys, ages 13 and 15, were in critical condition.
Witnesses said the eighth-graders had argued before the shootings at the school where students must pass through a metal detector to enter. The younger boy got the gun from outside the chain-link fence and shot the 15-year-old, only to have the older boy grab the gun and shoot him; police Lt. Marlon Defilo said.
The boy accused of providing the handgun, Alfred Anderson, was arrested about five hours after the shooting at his home in a nearby housing project, part of an economically mixed neighborhood.
The younger boy will be charged with attempted murder. Defilio said,
Anderson, who was recently expelled for fighting, was booked on charges of illegally carrying a weapon and being a principal to attempted first-degree murder, Defino said. He faces a detention hearing Wednesday.
The shooting happened just before noon in a breezeway between the main building at Carter G. Woodson Middle School and the cafeteria, where hundreds of students were eating lunch. Police recovered the .38-caliber revolver.
Milosevic's opponents claim presidential victory
WORLD
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Slobodan Milosevic's opponents claimed victory in an election marked by fraud allegations and warned that the Yugoslav president may try to rig the vote in his favor.
No official results had been released from Sunday's election
However, the Democratic Opposition of Serbia party claimed its candidate, 56-year-old Vojislav Kostunica, had won the presidency. The party said its poll watchers reported that Kostunica had an absolute majority and defeated Milosevic and three other contenders.
Peru's spy chief flees causes mixed reactions
LIMA, Peru — Peru's opposition blasted President Alberto Fujimori for allowing his deposed spy chief to flee the country and dodge a bribery scandal, but analysts said the removal of the secretive power broker would help repair the country's tattered democracy.
The flight of Vladimiro Montesinos raised new tensions to Fujimiand his foes seek an amicable end to his 10-year hold on power. Montesinos arrived in Panama on Sunday, where the government appeared almost certain to grant him political asylum.
Villagers leave homes to escape fighting
JOLO, Philippines — More than 36,000 villagers have fled their homes to escape a heavy military assault on the Muslim rebels holding 17 hostages on a small southern Philippine island, officials said yesterday.
Unconfirmed reports continued to grow of civilian casualties and heavy damage to villages from the attack, which involved about 4,000 troops. But the military continued to insist that only one civilian has been killed and four injured in the fighting.
