University to switch banking providers
[news] DM Federal Credit Union, which serves 20,000 UA students and faculty, will be closing its Memorial Student Union branch on March 31 and another bank will take over its services. The University of Arizona will be switching over to a new official bank, UA spokeswoman Sharon Kha said yesterday, but a final decision hasn't been made. "There will be a new banking service provided. We are in the process of selecting one," Kha said. "The students will not have to get a new card to access accounts (at the new bank)."

An 82-game reunion
[news]
Then former UA shooting guard Michael Dickerson was told he'd been traded from the NBA's Houston Rockets to the Vancouver Grizzlies on Aug. 27, he wasn't terribly happy. "I was disappointed, very disappointed," he said after Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. "I was happy there (in Houston). But now that I've been traded, I'm having fun. It's the best thing that ever happened to me."

It's not easy being Kolbe
[news] Many politicians have experienced tension between their personal lives and their political careers. U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., knows first hand. The openly gay Republican continues to deny his party's implied platform against homosexuality. He does his best to separate his sexuality from his politics, pretending that the two do not need to impact each other.

Improv-ing
[news]
For three years, the UA improvisational troupe "Charles Darwin Experience" has been entertaining campus audiences. Every Thursday at 10 p.m., the group shows off its unique brand of humor in the Cellar of University of Arizona Memorial Student Union. There are no scripts or scene rehearsals to prepare this group - just a basic outline of cast members and games to play. The essence of improvisational humor is spontaneity and freshness; nothing will ever be repeated.

Quotable:

-Stan Sorscher, a Boeing physicist who joined more than 10,000 engineers in the Seattle-area strike.
