The survey covered public and private colleges and universities in Kansas, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming
THE PRESIDENTS of each institution in the survey were asked to evaluate the colleges and universities in the 11-state area. Nearly 50 per cent of them took part in the survey.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said he did not answer the survey.
"We are always pleased to find ourselves listed at the top," he said, but added he did not think the survey was scientific.
In business administration, KU trailed Denver University, while in economics, medicine and physics, KU was outranked by CU. KU tied with CU for second place in history.
OF THE SEVENTEN categorized in the survey, KU was first or second in 10 and mentioned in another. KU ranked first in journalism and tied with CU in four categories — outstanding university and outstanding chemistry, architecture and political science departments.
KU and Kansas State University in Manhattan were mentioned in the engineering category, but were knocked out of the top positions by the Colorado School of Mines, Okla-
