Psychology's overall Ph.D. program ranked in the top tier at No. 45. Law's graduate program was ranked in the second tier-just below the top 50.

In the office, the best places to focus are turning lights and office equipment off when they are not in use. Computers may need to be left on, but monitors and printers can be turned off when leaving the office for a meeting, lunch or other extended absence.

Conservation can have definite and tangible results, as evidenced by the recent move by EWEB to increase electric rates by an average of 5.4 percent instead of 15 percent. A portion of that savings is directly attributable to the efforts of EWEB customers to conserve.
