“So do you really draw naked people?” UA fine arts senior Paul Temple says that's the one question his friends always ask him about art school. And the answer? “Yeah. Yeah I do, because you have to!” Figure drawing is an essential component of many art classes, and at the University of Arizona it begins in Drawing 101.

In order to comply with recent budget cuts, Arizona State University has proposed a suspension on the AIMS scholarship, which would effect thousands of in-state students, and it has been “hinted” that the UA may soon follow suit.

If the last three games have taught the Arizona baseball team anything, it's that this group can hit. In the last three games, Arizona (4-1) has posted double-digit runs in addition to pounding a total of 46 hits, 17 more than its opponents.

If Saturday's game at No. 21 Washington is anything like it was a month ago, the Arizona men's basketball team better lace up its sneakers extra tight. In a track meet on Jan. 29, the Wildcats (18-10, 8-7 Pacific 10 Conference) beat the Huskies (21-7, 12-4) 106-97 in McKale Center, thanks in large part to the combined 128 points scored in the second half.

If this sounds ridiculous, that's because it is. The wasteful “tradition” of blowing money on diamond engagement rings - as well as other forms of diamond jewelry - is one that ought to be gotten rid of posthaste.
