Migrant issues worry students
The Arizona Republic - Feb. 13, 2008 12:00 AM
Town hall introduces teens to college life
At one end of the classroom, Jessica Alexander, Mabel Muñoz and five other high-school students
discuss immigration's impact on education in Arizona. Muñoz, a senior at Carl Hayden High
School in Phoenix, says she's concerned that classmates who are in the U.S. illegally now have
to pay out-of-state tuition to attend a state university and aren't eligible for many scholarships.

UA solicits proposals for hospital
Arizona Republic - Feb. 13, 2008 12:00 AM
University's teaching facility would anchor bio-med campus
The University of Arizona has contacted nearly every major hospital in the Phoenix area with one
major request: Send us your ideas for a new downtown teaching hospital. The call for ideas comes
after talks between UA and Banner Health failed to a yield a deal to build a new teaching hospital
that would anchor Phoenix's emerging biomedical campus. Arizona leaders envision a downtown
hospital that trains doctors, advances medical technology and provides a setting for cutting-edge
medical techniques that spin out of such nearby research institutions as TGen.

New ASU housing offers luxury amenities with dorm rules
The Arizona Republic - Feb. 12, 2008 11:16 AM
Student campus living and the luxury resort experience collide at Vista Del Sol, a new Arizona State
University student housing complex that has some parents thinking the kids should stay home and
mom and dad should go back to school. "We have parents just shake their heads and laugh at the
beauty and amenities," said American Campus Communities manager Denise Giambelluca. "Vista
Del Sol has almost everything - and then some - that a first class resort has."

Athletic facilities at NAU benefit entire community
Arizona Daily Sun - February 09, 2008
As many of you know, I recently released an Athletics Task Force report on athletics facilities at
Northern Arizona University. The task force included several representatives from the community
because our facilities are so widely used for high school sports and a vast range of community
events. Given the involvement of Flagstaff and the region in Northern Arizona University and its
athletics facilities, ...

Tutugate? Ballet troupe at UA not the real deal
Arizona Daily Star - 2/13/2008
Will the real St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre please plié? When UAPresents hosted a sold-out
performance of the classic "Giselle" Saturday at Centennial Hall, some audience members
were shocked that the troupe they saw wasn't the world-class dancers they expected. "In three
minutes I knew there was something wrong," said Linda Walker, artistic director for Tucson
Regional Ballet. "I was sitting next to my co-director and she nudged me and said 'Who is this?'
They were dancers who were trained, but they were not the St. Petersburg Ballet company. It
was obvious."

Guest Opinion: Future teachers don't want guns in schools
Arizona Daily Star - 2/13/2008
I was dismayed and then puzzled to read that a majority of Star respondents actually supported
the proposed legislation to allow firearms on campuses ("Online readers favor guns in schools
plan," Feb. 4). How could this represent progressive Southern Arizona? So I decided to ask people
who would be directly affected by such legislation — young teachers. I put the guns-in-schools
question to my University of Arizona English education class.

New graduate programs give foreign flavor
UA Daily Wildcat Online - 2/13/08
Journalism coordinates with Near Eastern, Latin American studies to offer dual degrees
The UA journalism department has reopened admission to its graduate program, with a few new
additions. Beginning this fall, would-be graduate students have the option to obtain a dual master's
degree with either Latin American or Near Eastern studies. "Anybody who is going to want to be a
foreign correspondent or cover major issues in Latin America or Middle East and goes through this
program is going to be that much farther ahead," said Celeste Gonzalez de Bustamante, ...

Opinion: Cheating on tuition thanklessly slaps university in the face
UA Daily Wildcat Online - 2/13/08
There is a wide variety of embarrassing and disgraceful ways to potentially get thrown out of the UA.
Some common circumstances include failing out, trouble with the law and plagiarism. These may
be bad ways to go, but there's one group that belongs in the seventh circle of academic hell: tuition
cheaters. Though not too pricey in comparison to private schools and some other universities, the
UA's out-of-state tuition is by no means inexpensive. Out-of-staters pay $8,140.92 each semester
while Arizona residents owe only $2,523.92. The differential tuition fees and increases are
practicalities to take into account before making the decision to enroll in an out-of-state school. As
an out-of-state student myself, I'm not pleased with the Arizona Board of Regents' $2,350 tuition
increase for the 2008-2009 school year.
