Students given citations, more could occur
By JOE FREEMAN _

The party of the year turned into
the parly from hell.
Last Friday, the residents of 7466
N. Jordan Dr. held a parly — the first
big party of the year for the Univer¬
sity of Portland, in fact. But, the
party ended early and landed five
UP students minor in possession
(MIP) citations and could force the
residents of the N. Jordan Drive
house to pay some hefty fines.
"There’s a good chance the per¬
sons who sponsored the event will
be cited as well," said John Gamer,
Public Safety director.
The students who received
MIPs, whose names were not re¬
leased, face a mandatory court ap¬
pearance and a maximum $250 fine,
according to Dan McNcal, regional
coordinator of the Oregon Liquor
Control Commission (OLCC).
Also, the renters of the residence
could face charges for unlicensed
liquor sales and distributing to mi¬
nors, McNeal said. Those charged
face up to $5,000 and $350 fines.
respectively, for first offenses.
The charges arc still pending
and the investigation is ongoing,
McNeal said. But a renter of the
home, John Crane, claimed the only
reason he and his roomates face
penalties is because of Garner.
“If it weren’t for the fact that
Garner called the OLCC, the party
never would have gotten broken
up,” Crane said.
According to Crane, he and his
renters contacted their neighbors
and the Portland Pol ice Department
(PPD), all of whom said holding the
party was acceptable. In fact, ac¬
cording to Crane, the PPD made
routine stops at the party.
“The PPD came by about every
half an hour and they were cool,”
Crane said. “We invited them in
and they didn’t have a problem with
[the party].”
Rich Miller, OLCC prime in¬
vestigator of the case, said they felt
that it was necessary to pursue the

This plan is not com¬

community, however.
Last spring, when the Uni¬

to move Public Safety, an
outcry of student disap¬

campus like a disease.
Many students, par¬

moving Public Safety

UP claims 6th in annual college rankings
By JEREMY LEHMAN
Asst. News Editor
The University of Portland im¬
proved its ranking in U.S. News
and World Report's annual college
survey by finishing in a three-way
lie forsixth among western regional
universities.
The annual “America’s Best
Colleges" issue compared UP with
1 19 other regional universities from
1 7 Western and Southwestern states.
UP ranked eighth last year, down
from a number five ranking two
years ago.
Mark Kirchmcicr of Public Re¬
lations said that
this was the fifth
consecutive year
that UP ranked in
the top 1 5 and the
third consecutive
year in the top 10.
UP was not
the only West
Coast Confer¬
ence school hon¬
ored. Four other
WCC schools
also made the top
1 5, including Santa Clara (second),
Loyola Marymount (third),
1. Trinity University (Texas)
2. Santa Clara (Calif.)
3. Loyola Marymount (Calif.)
4. University of Redlands (Calif.)
5. Gonzaga University (Wash.)
6. Linfield College (Ore.)
6. St. Mary's College (Calif.)
6. University of Portland (Ore.)
9. Mt. St. Mary's (Calif)
9. Pacific Lutheran (Wash.)
Gonzaga (fifth)
and St. Mary’s
(tied with UP for
sixth).
“The [West
Coast] Confer¬
ence stacks up re¬
ally well,”
Kirchmcicr said.
Trinity Uni¬
versity in Texas,
which has ranked
first in the West
since UPcracked
the top fifteen four years ago, was
number one again this year, while
Linfield College was the third school
in the three-way lie for sixth.
The ranking system, which
changed little from last year, calcu¬
lates the quality of regional univer¬
sities by looking at six weighted
components: academic reputation
(25 percent), retention rates (25
percent), faculty resources (20 per¬
cent), student selectivity (15 per¬
cent) financial resources (10 per¬
cent) and alumni giving rate (5 per¬
cent). Most categories also have
