UA student arrested for bringing gun to class
Student upset with topic discussed, gun to serve as protection
A University of Arizona student was arrested last Wednesday after admitting that he brought a gun to campus.
Officers confronted Brenton House, 29, a creative writing graduate student and poetry center employee, after an individual in the class told officers that House carried a 9-mm pistol into a poetry class.
House was upset with the topic discussed, a student-written piece made fun of presidential candidate George W. Bush and "rednecks," during the class two weeks earlier.

Seductive and stupid
The Ladies Man" rubs audiences the right way
Somehow, somewhere, a pact with Satan is surely responsible for the spate of movies adapted from "Saturday Night Live" skits.
