Keep guns off campuses
Arizona Republic – Jan. 29, 2008 12:00 AM
A proposal that would allow more guns on campus fails the risk-benefit test. It is unlikely our
schools would become safer, and there is too much risk they would become more dangerous
under Senate Bill 1214. It would let individuals carry guns onto school grounds if they had
concealed-weapons permits. It would apply to any public or private K-12 school, university or
college. The aim, supporters say, ...

UA coach urges players not to leap to NBA too early
Arizona Daily Star - 01.29.2008
If current thinking holds true, Arizona's swing through Los Angeles this week will be just another
fleeting showcase of future NBA players. At this time next year, speculation will tell you, guys such
as USC's O.J. Mayo, UCLA's Kevin Love and Arizona's Jerryd Bayless and Chase Budinger will all
be gone, earning seven figures to play the game even though none of them are now 20 years old.
All of them are projected as top-15 picks in Draft Express' mock 2008 draft. But UA interim head
coach Kevin O'Neill ...

Our Opinion: UA must keep regents' pact
Tucson Citizen - January 29, 2008
William and Barbara Kennedy got a "life estate" when they sold their house to Arizona's regents
in 1996: They could stay in their home for the rest of their lives. Now the University of Arizona wants
to buy them out to build badly needed dormitories, but the Kennedys aren't ready to budge for the
$100,000 offered. A promise is a promise, and it must be kept. Unless the aging couple agree to
a better offer by the UA, ...

With the help of the sun, ASU could soon save some green through green energy. ASU has

Editorial: Conscience and construction
Arizona Daily Wildcat – 01/29/2008
Freshmen camped in study rooms across campus are a common sight during the first week of
every fall semester. Enrollment at the UA is growing faster than new student housing can be built,
leaving a perennial shortage of dorm rooms and a perennial flock of freshmen without homes.
Three new residence halls are in the works to help ease that shortage. Last Friday, the Arizona
Board of Regents approved a $178 million dorm construction project, which will make room for
1,188 students by the time it's completed in 2011. Unfortunately, unless the UA can compromise
with a pair of elderly Tucsonans, ...
