City permit enforcement begins today
Be careful - the parking spot that was free Friday
might cost you $25 today as Tucson begins
enforcement of its new UA-area parking permit
system.
"We really don't want to be citing people," said Chris Leighton, city parking
program coordinator. "We'd rather just keep them out."
Streets in northern, southern and western areas of campus will be heavily policed
to ensure students and employees with $150-$300 permits have a place to park.
The city expects annual returns on the program of about $200,000 in coming
years.
"We'll have all sorts of people out enforcing," Leighton said Wednesday. "Within
five minutes of you being parked (illegally), you'll probably get a ticket."

Wildcats avoid letdown, crush Cal Bears 91-74
After last Thursday's upset win over No. 3 Stanford,
there was a worry that Arizona's youthful freshmen
would let down and lose Saturday against California,
negating any progress that had been made.
But exactly the opposite happened as No. 13 Arizona
(15-3 overall, 7-2 Pacific 10 Conference) took the
game to Cal (12-7, 3-6) early, eventually winning
91-74 thanks to 26 points from senior point guard
Jason Terry and a 16-rebound advantage behind 12 from freshman forward
Michael Wright and 11 from senior center A.J. Bramlett.

Editorial: Make the on-campus housing policy utilitarian and just
Fairness is an arbitrary value when it comes to allocation in the face of scarcity
and high demand. And when it comes to choice on-campus housing, demand and
scarcity are the controlling factors.
Residence Life's solution to this dilemma of demand and scarcity equates
utilitarianism with justice. The on-campus housing authority last week decided to
reverse its long-standing policy of giving returning residents first shot at their
preferred residence halls and rooms in favor of incoming freshmen. The new
policy guarantees placement to all freshmen who submit their applications by May
1 and would dole out whatever spaces remain among returners. Officials have not
settled on whether they will use lottery or class rank to make the final split.
