During its last meeting of the academic year, the UA Faculty
Senate yesterday unanimously backed the anti-sweatshop cause
by accepting a proposal for a committee devoted to monitoring
labor rights issues.
University of Arizona President Peter Likins and representatives
from Students Against Sweatshops included the formation of an
ad hoc task force in a resolution signed late Friday night after a
225-hour sit-in.
The final votes have been tallied for the male and female Athletes of the Year, and senior distance runner Amy Skieresz and junior freestyle swimmer Ryk Neethling have taken home the titles.
The year was 1992 and a national mayoral conference was
meeting in Austin, Texas. My family and I were staying at the
Marriott hotel downtown. We had moved out of our house that
day and were staying the night before embarking for Phoenix.
Vote!
Should marijuana be legalized?
