Weapons violations decreasing at UA and peer institutions
The UA is part of the trend of decreasing weapons violations, along with its peer institutions, during the past few years.
The University of Arizona had 16 weapons violations in 1997, 13 weapons violations in 1998 and eight last year, said Sgt. Mike Smith, UA Police Department public information officer.
"I do not know where credit is due, but it could be because of education," he said. "We have two officers who have spoken about crime prevention at freshmen orientation for the past two years."

Arizona State University had seven violations last year, University of California at Los Angeles had five and Oregon State University had only one violation.

Corrections:
Due to a reporting error, it was reported that the character David Talbot was converted to a vampire by the character Lestat in Anne Rice's "Merrick." This is only true for the movie version. In the book version of "Interview with a Vampire," Talbot was converted to a vampire by the character Louis. The Wildcat regrets the error.
Due to a reporting error, yesterday's Wildcat reported that Hector Torres had an blood alcohol content of 0.5. Torres' blood alcohol content was 0.05. The Wildcat regrets the error.
Due to a reporting error, yesterday's story "LGB Studies embarks on wide-reaching program" contained incorrect information. The UA Committee on Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual Studies receives funds totaling $16,300 from the deans of Social and Behavioral Sciences, Humanities, Fine Arts and Sciences. The provost contributes $25,000. The Wildcat regrets the error.
