It's been a while since I was there, but:

U of A at Fairbanks (Primarily an engineering, science... type U)
U of A at Anchorage (Also includes the now defunct ACC Anchorage Community

U of A at Juneau    (Primarily Marine Bio, etc...)
APU Alaska Pacific University (In Anchorage, near UAA, Private, expensive)

A few smaller Colleges:

Ketchikan (2 year, don't remember name)
Sitka (Sheldon Jackson College, 4 year)
Seward (A Voc/Tech School)

I'm sure there are a few more, but I don't remember them all.

I don't know whether you want graduate, undergrad, continuing ed, or what...

Fairbanks has most of the graduate school.

Anchorage has several masters programs, and some doctoral through agreements
with 'outside' (lower 48) graduate schools.

And just when you thought you had the worst school on the Intervisitation
Policy, comes a new survey...

What is the alcohol policy on your campus, and in your residence halls.

For example, here at NMSU, you can not walk around with an open container,
however, if you're 21, you can drink it in your room, as long as you have
the door closed!

We're doing a program for our RA class on alcohol and I think policies at
other schools would be a good thing to talk about.

P.S.  Anyone know of anyplace on the Internet where I can get tons of info
on Alcohol?  Thanks

____
And thanks to everyone who replied to my original survey, you're information
has been very helpful.  I'll post a summary of my results when I compile them.

According to US News and World Report, no.  The graduation rate at CMU
was the lowest of the top 25(?) schools they listed.  The only other

When I did the Pledge Program a few years back, I decided to do several things:
1) Complete structure, from what was thematically-grouped in the pledge manual,
   to doing the tests in advance.

2) Keep the pledge classes open for actives (so they wouldn't get suspicious
   and/or left out, and to let them aid me in the lessons and activities).

3) Strive to integrate the pledge class first, then to integrate the pledges
   into the chapter as a whole.

4) Enlist the aid of Executive Council to give you veto power over actives for
   any "activities" that they might wish to do which would tend to be seen as
   hazing.

5) Attempt a balance of task functions (philanthropics/charity events) as well
   as lecture/discussions and interpersonal/fun functions (intramurals, seren-
   ading, parties, lunch with sorority pledge classes, etc.).

Well, if they're obvious about breaking the policy, we tell them to leave
and write them up.  But if we don't see it, we can't bust it.  I busted a
guy the other night.  He was standing in the doorway talking to his friend.
Of course, he might have been getting ready to leave, but I doubt it since
when I told him to leave, he said, "Okay, let me get dressed."  Yeah.

I hate to burst your bubble here, but I pay about 25% of my TA income
into income taxes.  If I remember right, this happened during the
Reagan administration, despite a large protest of TA's sending Ramen
noodles and Macaroni and Cheese to Washington to demonstrate what
they would be eating if the tax bill passed.

TA salaries are fully taxable.  The portion of fellowships that you don't
use for school supplies and tuition is fully taxable.  The only break
from taxes that you get is that you don't have to pay Social Security,
but then you don't collect the money when you retire (assuming there
still is such a thing).  If I had to pay into social security, I
would be paying closer to 35% of my income in taxes.

I don't know how you define an average TA.  Here at Michigan, the
graduate employees are unionized: they receive ~$1200/month + medical
benefits + free tuition and fees + dental benefits after 1 year.  This is
plenty if you're single, sufficient if you're married, and just enough to
scrape by if you have a child or two.  When I was an undergrad at
Minnesota, many of my TAs were paid a flat $1500 a year with no
benefits and they had to pay their own tuition and buy the books
for the classes they taught.  And they paid taxes to boot!  At that
kind of pay you almost have to be single and live in a box.  (Many
of my TAs looked as if they did.)  I recently heard that TAs
at Minnesota made ~$700 a quarter.  Maybe someone could confirm this?
Could you live on $200/month today?

If I didn't have to pay income taxes, the University could cut my pay
by 25% without reducing my take-home pay at all.  Who do you think
really pays for that 25%?  I don't; I never really see that money.
Undergrads and taxpayers end up ultimately footing the bill.  The
federal and state governments think they are making a few billion
dollars in taxes from grad students, but in reality they are taxing
the undergrads in the form of higher tuition.

In a similar fit of idiocy, the Minnesota legislature passed a law
a few years ago that said the University had to pay sales taxes on
its purchases.  This is ironic because state taxes fund better
than 40% of the U of Mn.  Of course, undergrad tuition rose dramatically.

Here at Rice, there are absolutely no dorm visitation rules as far as
I know.  One of the rooms (its an apartment really) in my dorm is 
even coed.  I couldn't believe that some schools restrict the times
that you can have a male/female in your room.  College isn't some
teen-age boarding school.  Why would someone want to go to a school
where visiting hours were restricted.  
    The alcohol policy was quite liberal but is becoming stricter 
every year, since Georgie's "war on drugs" now fights underage 
drinking as well.  The administration is afraid some irresponsible
party-goer will have and accident/get hurt/kill someone while under
the influence and his/her mother/father will sue the University because
little jonnie/janie  was in an environment where underage drinking 
laws were not enforced with guns etc...  When I visited Rice my
senior year in high school, they had a huge party with people all 
over the place and the kegs flowing.  My freshman year they tried to 
prevent `private parties' (parties in dorm rooms) from spilling outside.
Basically they didn't care what happened as long as it was behind closed
doors.  Now they say that next year they will not allow dorm funds
to go towards the purchase of alchohol.  Shit.  I turn 21 next year
and won't be able to freely and openly partake in Friday afternoon
TG's (thank god its friday ...)  I have a friend at Stanford and she

Are you sexually active? 
Have you ever been sexually active? 
Do you intend to be?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above then the October 1992 issue of
Health News contains information that you must know. 

Never easy territory to negotiate, sexual relationships are now more
complex than ever - because of the dangers of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs), including AIDS. Health officials warn that the incidence
of STDs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and genital warts is silently
reaching epidemic proportions. Who is most at risk of the devastating
effects of untreated STDs - sterility for example, or at increased risk of
ectopic pregnancy? Teenage girls. Especially vulnerable to infection,
young adults must heed the warnings that this issue of Health News
espouses. Read it for yourself. If you are a parent, read it for and to
your teenagers. No one can afford to ignore the today's health realities. 

AIDS is the most widely publicized STD - and the most deadly. Cutting
expertise and advice from a wide variety of professional sources, Health
News updates the status of this disease - its spread and developments.
AIDS is not confined to high risk groups Health News warns - and maps out
ways to protect yourself and those close to you from this disease that
many consider "the greatest public health issue of our times."

Finally, Health News turns probing and investigative eyes to the
"Cinderella of psychiatric disorders" - anxiety disorders - long
under-researched and misdiagnosed. Hindering the lives of millions, Health
News provides an in-depth analysis of causes and treatment methods of
these "heart-stopping" disorders. 


THE ONLY CANADIAN HEALTH BULLETIN TO COME DIRECTLY FROM A MEDICAL SCHOOL,
Health News provides up-to-date, reliable information on a variety of
topics, from vegetarian diets, cholesterol and sore throats to chronic

Alcohol policy at Yale is no kegs on the frosh yard, and then, ideally,
obey the state laws.  There really isn't any enforcement, though at
official University functions you must be able to present ID.
We don't have RAs, so I'm not really sure what you're referring to about
who enforces things, but we do have a few seniors mixed in the Frosh Halls
as Frosh Counselors who "don't see" alcohol abuses no matter how obvious.
