Protesters say goodbye, pledge to
continue battle
As a 225-hour sit-in ended late Friday at the President's Office,
UA student protesters spent their final night together singing
songs to celebrate a hard-fought agreement with the university.
But many wary activists acknowledged that their battle is still far
from over.
The record-setting sit-in, organized by the University of
Arizona's Students Against Sweatshops chapter, involved hours
of grueling discussions that resulted in continuous victories and
let-downs.

Clock runs out on Elway
He sounded so very upbeat at the start,
cracking jokes and telling stories about himself and his Denver
Broncos.
Then John Elway turned to his retirement - and that's when it hit
him.
His face crumpled and the sobs came.
''I can't do it physically anymore, and that's really hard for me to say,'' the 38-year-old Elway said
yesterday, pausing frequently to regain his composure as he addressed the crowd at a suburban
Denver hotel.

Editorial: Promising signs of change in
ASUA
It was a moment of political courage, a lighthouse of clarity in the fog and stormed-tossed futility of
the Associated Students Senate. In their largely successful attempt to slash the overblown stipends
of ASUA officials, Sens. Dave Snider and Marisa Hall made one last effort to put the culture of
student government to the test, to leave their distinct mark on an organization permanently confused
and terminally stupid. Throughout their ASUA Senate terms, both Hall and Snider have
demonstrated themselves to be the kind of iconoclasts, who, with more support from the student
body and student organizations at large, could achieve real change in ASUA. Their time passes
with the end of the semester, but the stand they took at the ASUA meeting last Wednesday was one
that ought to be remembered.
