    Kylan Darnell has already spent close to $100,000 to be in an elite sorority at the University of Alabama... At Darnell's sorority fees alone can cost around $30,000 a year. For those joining the sorority for the first time a lump payment of $4,581 is charged in the fall semester for new member fees, followed by another $4,441 in the Spring semester. On top of that are ‘dues’, fees paid to cover the activities of the sorority. These are around $1,400 every month. For members that choose to live in the sorority’s mansion a fee of $10,422 is charged each...

    Following several days of bad publicity, University of Arizona officials said Friday they may eliminate the title — but not the job — of student "Social Justice Advocates." It's not just the title of the new job position creating problems, either.

    ...Carlos Gonzales, a member of the Pascua Yaqui tribe, was introduced to offer a blessing amidst loud cheering, at which time he introduced himself as "not a medicine man - just a family doc." What followed, an 8 1/2-minute self-tribute, more resembled an Academy Award acceptance speech than a prayer or a blessing. Mr. Gonzales blessed the "eastern door, from where we get visions and guidance," the "southern door, where we get the energies of the family," the "western door, where we honor the sacred ways and sacred ancestors," and the "northern door, where we receive challenges and the strength...

    FAYETTEVILLE — Conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter came to the college town where Bill Clinton once taught law and skewered the former president Wednesday night. Speaking to an audience of about 1, 100 that gave her two prolonged standing ovations, Coulter compared the recent Palestinian elections, in which the militant group Hamas won a majority, to Clinton’s presidential wins in 1992 and ’ 96. “Sometimes you do have bad elections. We elected Bill Clinton by a plurality twice,” Coulter said, drawing cheers and a smattering of boos at the Walton Arts Center. “As we speak, Bill and Hillary Clinton...

    THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR ^ | July 3, 2002 | By Mitch Tobin
    By Mitch Tobin , ARIZONA DAILY STAR With pressure from the University of Arizona, the U.S. Forest Service has quietly begun pruning and cleaning the forest around the telescopes atop Mount Graham. The work, within critical habitat for an endangered squirrel, comes as UA officials worry about a catastrophic wildfire roaring through a $120 million telescope complex that environmentalists and some American Indians have fought for more than a decade. In 1996, flames from a 6,716-acre wildfire came within 200 yards of the telescopes. As the monsoon arrives, the top of the Pinaleno Mountains, 75 miles northeast of Tucson, is...
