Expansions still threaten students looking for BPA advanced standing
	Some students seeking advanced standing in the UA's overcrowded business college may face enrollment cutbacks in the future, officials said yesterday. "May is the key word here," said Lee Beach, vice dean of the Karl Eller College of Business and Public Administration. "The sky is not falling." In recent years, as many as 1,100 students have applied for advanced standing, but officials can only accommodate about 800 to 900 students next semester, Beach said.

	An artist's studio is their home away from home. It's a place for inspiration, brainstorming and creation - it is the place where an idea for a great work of art is transformed into a piece artists can call their own. This past weekend's Open Studio Tour, sponsored by the Tucson Arts District, allowed community members to walk through the rooms where this magic takes place. Forty one different studios in the Tucson area opened their doors to display art ranging from watercolors to woodworking.
