On July 10, 1980, Mexican-American leaders told the Arizona Summer Wildcat that racial disturbances similar to then-recent turmoil in Miami were likely to happen. “”All it’s going to take is one little incident,”” youth worker Max Torres said. “”I can sense the tension that exists.””
The same day, the Wildcat reported that the UA libraries were the first in the nation to be using a new type of “”online”” circulation and book checkout system similar to that used at grocery store checkouts. The
installation of the system required the
library to be shut down for a week while bar codes were pasted on all the books.
On July 5, 1988, the Wildcat reported that University Medical Center research showed that accutane and beta-carotene, two derivatives of vitamin A, were showing promise in “”preventing and even reversing cancer.”” Accutane is often prescribed to treat acne, while beta-carotene is a vitamin found in carrots.
? On July 8, 1971, Wildcat columnist Conrad Goeringer commented on the release of the Pentagon Papers by declaring that “” ‘establishment’ papers such as the [New York] Times are now beginning to feel the iron-fist of government censorship.”” Because of the release of the “”now-legendary 47-volume manuscript,”” with its revelations of government dishonesty, Goeringer writes, many Americans now feel “”they have not been told the truth about the war in Asia.””
