Story missed details of Princeton ranking

The reaction to the University of Iowa being moved from No. 1 to No. 2 in the Princeton Review party school ranking as stated in your Aug. 5 article 'UI dethroned as top party school” seemed a little less than noteworthy when you look at the No. 1 ranking the university got for the hard- liquor availability class.

The overall ranking by Princeton Review for the UI still seems to carry with it a degree of stigma that either speaks poorly for how they choose to survey the students or how the UI reacts to those surveys.

This would suggest that your paper should either ignore the surveys or ask for some stronger reaction from the university.

As a minimum I would think you could at least publish the overall Princeton results, assuming you can make sense of the various categories (something I found difficult).

The overall survey results are available at http://www.princetonreview.com.
