Survey Lauds Smaller Colleges
By Ben DeSantis
Staff Writer
Students applying to college should
stick to smaller schools, at least accord
ing to a survey that found smaller col
leges might provide a higher quality
education than larger schools.
The National Survey of Student
Engagement recendy released its results
for 2000, which reveal advantages for
students at smaller institutions in sever
al areas relating to student life and qual
ity of education.
More than 63,000 students at 276
institutions nationwide participated in
the survey. And at least two N.C. schools
- Ellon College and UNC-Asheville -
received high scores on the report
Survey director George Kuh said the
survey was started in response to the
U.S. News and World Report college
rankings. Kuh said the rankings, which
many college applicants and officials
regard as the standard of collegiate rank
ing systems, focus on school resources
rather than student satisfaction.

ADEN, Yemen - Yemeni investiga
tors are ready to charge at least two peo
ple in the apparent terrorist attack on
the USS Cole, a source said Sunday, six
weeks after an explosion tore through
the warship as it sat in Aden’s harbor.
Charges are expected to be filed as
soon as this week against the two sus
pects, the source said. They could be
sentenced to death if convicted.
But any charges are unlikely to mean
the end of the probe: U.S. investigators
still suspect an international conspiracy.

He said the survey was designed to
show “what students do with the
resources they have.”
The survey was developed by Indiana
University at Bloomington and is cospon
sored by the Carnegie Foundation for the
Advancement of Teaching and the Pew
Forum for Undergraduate Learning.
Nine N.C. colleges and universities,
including three UNC-system schools -
UNC-A, UNC-WUmington and
Appalachian State University - partici
pated in this year’s survey.
Survey officials are expecting more
than 100,000 students at about 320 insti
tutions, including UNC-Chapel Hill and
14 other UNC-system schools, to partic
ipate in next year’s edition.
Kuh said the survey based its results on
five national benchmarks of education -
level of academic challenge, level of cam
pus support, student interaction with fac
ulty, the amount of active and collabora
tive learning and the accessibility of
enriching educational experiences, such as
study abroad programs and internships.
Elon College was one of only four
Seventeen U.S. sailors were killed
and 39 more injured on Oct. 12, when
two suicide bombers steered a small
boat laden with explosives alongside the
Cole and detonated it. U.S. and Yemeni
officials have said the attack appeared to
be a carefully planned, well-financed
operation, and the bomb materials were
expertly prepared.
The Yemeni source close to the inves
tigation would not identify the two men
he described as main suspects about to
be charged. But last week, other sources
said authorities had detained six Yemeni
men they believe were key accomplices

schools to score in the top 20 percent in
each category.
Dan Anderson, Elon director of col
lege relations, said the survey could help
the school recruit top-notch students.
“It will give prospective students an
idea of the education they’ll get at Elon,”
Anderson said.
He said Elon’s strength is its strong
sense of community. “We have very
strong relationships between students
and faculty," Anderson said.
He said he feels larger public institu
tions have difficulty creating a similar
environment due to their size.
Archer Gravely, UNC-A director of
institutional research, said he was
pleased with the survey’s results.
UNC-A, which has 3,292 students,
ranked above the national average in
most categories examined by the survey.
Gravely said, “We held our own and
looked better than most of the public
institutions.”

- including one who was allegedly in
charge of the operation in Yemen.
American officials have said they
believe the operation was carried out by
a network of small cells of two or three
people, probably from one or more anti-
American Islamist organizations, includ
ing Yemen’s Islamic Jihad, Egypt’s al-
Gamaa al-Islamiya and Saudi dissident
Osama bin Laden’s followers.
Bin Laden, an exiled Saudi million
aire, lives in Afghanistan. U.S. officials
believe he ordered the 1998 bombings
of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania that killed 224 people.
