Sitting in with a leader
As the Students Against Sweatshops occupation
of the UA president's lobby ticks past 150
hours, the group's un-shaven leader holds firm
to the principles that motivated the sit-in.
Avery Kolers, an SAS spokesman and University
of Arizona graduate student studying
philosophy, said protesters will remain
stationed in the Administration Building until
UA President Peter Likins agrees to their labor
rights resolution.

Hornbeek proves doctors wrong
with trip to NCAAs
She was told her career was over. She was a
collegiate gymnast, but an injury to her
shoulder left her unable to lift her hand above
her head, let alone boost herself into an
handstand.
The surgery she needed had been performed only
once in the world. And she was given only a 50
percent recovery rate to have "normal" use of
her shoulder. Gymnastics was supposedly out of the question.

Editorial: SAS sit-in a week later:
Sorting substance from chaff
One week ago today, the Students Against Sweatshops began their sit-in at
the university Administration Building. Now it is time for Students
Against Sweatshops, President Peter Likins and the community to assess
the results of the sit-in.
The early days of the SAS incursion were met with a response
counterintuitive at most universities: The president actually appeared to
be listening.
