Senate supports suit against ABOR BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

The ASUA Senate voted 6-4 Wednesday to reject a resolution that would have declared the senate’s opposition to a statewide student lobbying group’s use of student fee money to fund a lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents. The resolution, drafted by ASUA Sens. Valerie Hanna and Logan Bilby, explicitly declared the

senate’s support for the Arizona Students’ Association, an organization that aims to represent Arizona university students at the state Legislature, but opposed the use of “monies derived from Arizona public university students” to file suit against the regents. The distinction became a key point during discussion at Wednesday’s meeting of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate. “A lot of people kind of put words in my mouth, things I in no way wanted to say or tried to say,”

said ASUA Sen. Morgan Abraham, who voted in favor of the resolution. “In no way was this discussion supposed to be about whether ASA is a positive or negative organization … it was just kind of surprising to hear the discussion take that turn.” However, some members of the ASUA Senate spoke firmly about their commitment to ASA and its decision to sue.

Love Your Body Week returns to UA campus RYAN REVOCK Arizona Daily Wildcat

BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE

Love Your Body Week is returning to the UA campus this year and will feature an award-winning lecturer. The event is expanding from a daylong event to a weeklong one and is bringing back the Love Your Body Fair after six years without it, according to Gale Welter Coleman, co-coordinator for the event and nutrition services coordinator at Campus Health Service. Award-winning lecturer and activist Jean Kilbourne will speak on body image issues and the media in a free lecture and a professional workshop during Love Your Body Week. The lecture will be held at the Student Union Memorial Center on Feb. 27, and is titled “The Naked Truth: Advertising’s Image of Women.” Kilbourne’s professional workshop on the same day is open to anyone interested in learning about eating disorders for an admission fee; students pay $10. The workshop can also count toward continuing education credits for professionals and students and offers the chance to learn and network with local professionals, according to Coleman. “The media pressure toward the thin ideal is so omnipresent that everybody has an expectation, or most have an expectation, of fulfilling a prescribed body image,” said Laura Orlich, co-coordinator for the event and mental health clinician at Campus Health. “I think it is true for guys as well as women.” The Love Your Body Fair, which will be on the UA Mall on Feb. 26, will feature eight interactive student exhibits and eight interactive sponsored exhibits, according to Coleman. Visitors will also have the opportunity fill out

MONIQUE GUILLEN, a psychology junior, enjoys snow outside Starbucks on University Boulevard. Facilities Management wasn’t worried about the weather Wednesday and took the necessary precautions by placing blankets over pipes like a sleeve to keep them from freezing. “We’ve taken precautions for cold weather, but an extended period of cold weather like three days in a row [precaution] so our pipes don’t freeze,” said Christopher Kopach, assistant vice president for Facilities Management. “So something like this … we weren’t in bad shape.” Facilities Management was originally slightly concerned about the weather warning that was issued last night. “From the report we got yesterday, we thought we were going to get a major blizzard with several inches of snow,” Kopach said. “Luckily we didn’t have that. Things turned out well; we didn’t have any major issues. It was enjoyable to see a little snow here.”

of conduct violation reports to us on our members. While this is an internal issue and we know that students will still make mistakes, at least now the undergraduate officers and advisors can more immediately deal with any behavior issues,” said Matt Noble, the vice president of the Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation of Arizona and house corporation director, in an email. Until Sigma Chi’s new house is built, Hunter Curtis, president of Sigma Chi and a finance and entrepreneurship senior, said that all of the members who were living in the house will need to find off-

campus housing for the next year. Buddy Cheek, vice president of Sigma Chi and an economics junior said he suspects some people will drop out of the fraternity when they realize they won’t be getting their own house next year, but that the ones who stay will have a stronger bond within the brotherhood. “Having a house has a lot of benefits, but not having a house, we will be able to reevaluate ourselves as a chapter,” Cheek said. “The things we want to accomplish will be at the forefront and all the guys in the new house with us will be there for the right reasons.”
