that a lot of people haven’t caught onto yet and I hope it sinks in,” Nead said. “I want [students] to consider owning an electric car someday. There are going to be more of them. They are going to be easier to own. The technology is only getting better and the next generation of people will hopefully be driving pollution-free.” The National Guard was present and sought to physically engage people in the event by allowing students to climb a rock wall or jump inside of a jumping castle. Members from the the Cooking on Campus club hosted demonstrations to show attendees how to make healthy meals and use fresh ingredients.

The UA was named among the top “green” colleges in the country for demonstrating a strong commitment to the environment and sustainability. “The Princeton Review’s Guide to 322 Green Colleges: 2013 Edition” released its rankings last week. This is the UA’s first time being ranked. The guide reviews colleges’ attention to sustainability in academic offerings, campus infrastructure, activities and career preparation and uses “green rating scores” to rank the campuses. “I foresee [the ranking] as being valuable in the future for undergraduate and graduate admissions,” said Chrissy Lieberman, associate dean of students and the UA Green Fund adviser. “[This has] the potential to help us be part of the shift of how we engage in our environment and admit students who are willing to be innovative with using resources. It makes me excited to be in Tucson, because Tucson is a welcoming community and this makes it even more so.” The resource book is published in partnership with the U.S. Green Building Council’s Center for Green Schools and is now in its fourth edition. The guide specifically recognizes the UA for its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and limiting greenhouse gas emissions. “I think [the ranking] does a number of things,” said Jill Ramirez, coordinator of sustainability education for Residence Life. “One, it affirms the students that are already here working in these areas; it is a good recognition for them to know that their efforts are noticed. I think that it is also reaffirming for the staff and faculty working on sustainability issues. I love working with my students and knowing that there is this resource out there to point [students] in our direction for sustainability.” The UA was also praised for its commitment to recycling

Ka’Deem Carey to appear in Tucson City Court today ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat
The Arizona Wildcats’ All-American running back Ka’Deem Carey will appear in Tucson City Court at 10 a.m. today for a pretrial hearing on charges of disorderly conduct and assault. Carey’s charges stem from an incident on Dec. 23, 2012, with his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Marissa Rambow. In addition, Carey was kicked out of McKale Center on Jan. 23 during an Arizona basketball game against UCLA, and a few days earlier he had been ticketed for driving with expired registration and no proof of insurance. Those two incidents are separate from the charges at today’s hearing. Carey participated during the Wildcats’ spring drills, though he was never made available to the
media. “Ka’Deem’s worked hard,” Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez said prior to the Wildcats’ spring game on April 13. “Ka’Deem’s had a lot to prove both on and off the field, and so far the Ka’Deem Carey entire spring he’s shown that. “As far as things we’ve asked him to do on and off the field, he’s worked really hard to prove himself all over again.” Carey was a consensus All-American in 2012 after he ran for 1,929 yards and 23 touchdowns. — For updates on Carey’s trial, follow us on Twitter via @WildcatSports and follow the reporter via @ZackBlatt.
