UA plans scholarship program with
Navajo Nation officials
In response to low American Indian student retention rates at the UA, the Navajo Nation and
university officials are forming a pact aimed at keeping tribal students in school.
Under the intergovernmental agreement, the Navajo Nation would provide students from
reservations with $4,000 yearly scholarships - if the UA insures they attend mandatory academic
counseling, including tutoring for mid-term and final exams.

More angst about this modern world
You'd think the German government would've considered the
timing of moving their parliament back to Berlin's Reichstag the
day before the 110th anniversary of Adolph Hitler's birth. But
then again, maybe not.
At the same time, you'd think Tucson's local Earth Day committee would've figured that selling
sponsorship of Saturday's awareness event to companies like Raytheon, a corporation with a
historical link to environmental catastrophes in Pima county was a bad idea.
