Kunnie's past lawsuits reflect on the nature of recent event

This is in response to David Gibbs' letter on Monday. Professor Gibbs obviously doesn't have a hankering for the truth. It is completely relevant that Dr. Kunnie has been involved in many frivolous lawsuits in the past. Using this information proves just how irrelevant and worthless his next attempt to cheat the system is.

Do you expect the Wildcat to hide the truth about Dr. Kunnie's past just as you hide the truth in your classes? The academic environment is based on hearing both sides of an argument and deciding for yourself what the truth of the matter is. You have always strived to give your one-sided leftist view of the world and anti-American propaganda. I applaud the Wildcat for not hiding Dr. Kunnie's past. His past includes numerous lawsuits based on race when it is not an issue. This country will never move forward if certain people continue to blame everything on race and praise affirmative action. We will also never move forward until both sides are heard. So good job Wildcat on bringing the truth to print! [Read article]

The intersection at North Park Avenue and East Speedway Boulevard is nothing less than a nightmare.

The UA is a city within a city, and Park Avenue is the largest thoroughfare through campus. In the last year, there have been 42 reported accidents at the dreadful intersection, twice more than East Speedway Boulevard and North Mountain Avenue, which has a left turn arrow.

Until recently, Tucson has escaped much of the development the ugly smog-filled concrete jungle to the north has become known for.

Times, they are a-changing! The Arizona Daily Star highlighted in a Sunday article how a northwest-side landmark, Sanctuary Cove, built in 1962, has managed to remain a peaceful respite from the rest of Tucson as development has sprung up around it. Despite the endurance of Sanctuary Cove itself, Annie Bunker, one of the cove's live-in caretakers, told the Star it pains her to see how much recent development has changed the surrounding area. "I have a really hard time looking out there now. The view has really changed," she said, having lived at Sanctuary Cove since 1984. [Read article]

Who or what is the University of Arizona Peace Refuge? Oh sure, we've all seen their booth on the Mall protesting the war. And some of us, through no fault of our own, may have even been introduced to them a couple of weeks ago when they staged a die-in in our student union in a desperate attempt to gain publicity.

But do we know who they really are? They claim to be a group focusing on the anti-war movement, but it's time to expose them for what they really are. [Read article]
