Message from ASUA President Fritze regarding the ZonaZoo Entrance Policy

Re: ZonaZoo entrance policy

On behalf of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA) ZonaZoo team, I would like to express my appreciation of the energy and spirit that students have shown the past few games in Arizona Stadium. The electric environment of the student section is a statement to the pride and tradition found here at the University of Arizona.

The largest challenge of the season has been the build up of students in front of the ZonaZoo section prior to game time. As we continue to have a successful football season, the dmand of students to attend games will only increase. However, it is important that ZonaZoo students are made aware of the ZonaZoo entrance policy – WHICH STATES THAT ADMISSION TO FOOTBALL GAMES IS NOT GUARANTEED – when they buy the pass. It is recommended that students arrive as early as possible to increase their chance of securing a seat.

A copy of the ZonaZoo entrance policy is also available on the ZonaZoo and Arizona Athletics websites. Below is the link to this policy for your review.

In consideration of the events, ASUA is working closely with Arizona Athletics to ensure the safety of students. As a result, ZonaZoo will now allow students to start entering the stadium four hours prior to kick off or when the student demand indicates a need to open up the section and other amenities. We hope that this will relieve the build up of students and allow for a safe entrance into the game.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the success of our Aythletics programs here at the University of Arizona.

Bear Down with pride,
Emily Fritze
ASUA Student Body President

Burglar targeting women near U of A

There have been recent burglaries in the U of A area and authorities have reported that the burglar is targeting women who live along near the U of A area and is "sexually motivated."
The Tucson Police Department says the suspect is in his 20s and is probably conducting surveillance of the victims' homes prior to entering. The burglaries normally take place between midnight and 4 a.m.
For students who are the victims of these crimes or anyone who feels they need someone to talk with concerning these events – and any incident of sexual assault – there are many resources on campus that can help. A list of these resources, which include the OASIS Program Against Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS),the Dean of Students Office and the University of Arizona Police Department, can be found on the SafeCats Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/uasafecats#p/u/5/wepwbd0o-6Q.
A list of safety tips can also be found on the UAPD web site at http://www.uapd.arizona.edu/crime%20alerts.htm.
For further assistance, please call the Dean of Students Office (520) 621-7057.
