Likins asks Bush to speak at graduation

Some activists say protests will erupt if president speaks

If President Bush accepts an invitation to speak at the UA commencement in May, it will surprise the man who invited him and spark protests from students who oppose Bush's politics.

President Peter Likins, who invited Bush last week, pointed out Friday that the UA is one of many universities extending an invitation to Bush, and said the odds of Bush accepting are remote.
