UT receives archive of Pulitzer Prize-winning photo-journalist Eddie Adams

NATIONAL
Arts Education in Difficult Budgetary Times
Americans for the Arts (9/24/09)
Lynn Tuttle
"My state, Arizona, is facing its worst budget crisis ever. We still do not have a balanced budget for the current fiscal year ($1 billion still in the hole - about 12% of our entire state budget), and we are projecting a deficit of at least $2 billion for 2010-2011. The entire education system - meaning all the public schools, both district and charter - may need to take a 10-30% cut in terms of funding for the 2010-2011 school year. In a system where there isn't much left to cut after 2 lean years, what does a 30% cut look like? And what does that mean for arts education?"
INTERNATIONAL
More music lessons - to improve memory, intelligence and behaviour
The Guardian (9/10/09)
