Disruption minimized during ĪPlaza' work

The Alumni Association would like to clarify a few statements made in the Oct. 30 issue of the Wildcat regarding the construction of Alumni Plaza.

As reported, the construction of the plaza is expected to be completed within nine months, commencing mid-December 2003 and wrapping up early October 2004. The project will have six phases designed to minimize the adverse impact of the project's construction upon pedestrian and bicycle traffic around the Administration building. The first phase ÷ December through February ÷ will have the greatest impact on traffic, especially bicycle traffic. Details about the construction schedule will be available shortly at www.fdc.arizona.edu/ [Read article]

Guest Commentary: Ramadan's fasting fosters appreciation

Salam alaikoum! I am writing to inform everybody that the Islamic holy month of Ramadan began Oct. 27. During this month, Muslims (or submitters) fast from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from all food and drink as well as other physical indulgences. The purity of a Muslim's mental life is also critical during this month, and thus all fasters strive to abstain from negative thoughts of any kind. In particular, lies, slander, broken promises and greed are to be avoided. A Muslim must intend, within his or her innermost self, to fast for the sake of God. A fast must not be undertaken with an unwilling spirit. [Read article]
