'''Universitas Arizona''', atau biasa disingkat ''UA'', adalah perguruan tinggi negeri di Amerika Serikat yang berada di kota [[Tucson, Arizona]]. Universitas ini merupakan perguruan tinggi tertua di negara bagian Arizona, didirikan pada tahun 1885 pada saat Arizona belum menjadi negara bagian penuh Amerika Serikat. Pada tahun 2005 tercatat 37.036 orang menjadi mahasiswa di lembaga ini.
 
'''Universitas Arizona''' atau '''The University of Arizona''' (juga dirujuk sebagai UA, U of A, atau Arizona) adalah sebuah intitusi pendidikan tinggi dan riset negeri yang berlokasi di kota [[Tucson]], [[Arizona]], [[Amerika Serikat]], yang menerima dana hibah untuk pembangunan fasilitas kampus dan pengembangan riset teknologi angkasa. UA merupakan universitas pertama di negara bagian Arizona, didirikan pada tahun 1885 (27 tahun sebelum Teritori Arizona menerima status negara bagian). Universitas ini mencakup University of Arizona College of Medicine yang merupakan salah satu dari tiga sekolah kedokteran dan satu-satunya sekolah kedokteran yang menganugerahkan gelar MD (Doctor of Medicine) di Arizona. Hingga [[musim gugur]] tahun 2010, jumlah mahasiswanya adalah 39,086 orang.<ref name="Fact Book"/> UA di bawah pengelolaan Arizona Board of Regents. Misi UA adalah "untuk menemukan, mendidik, melayani dan menginspirasi."<ref name="UA Mission">{{cite web | title = About the UA | work = University of Arizona | publisher = University of Arizona | accessdate = 5 May 2008 | url = http://www.arizona.edu/home/aboutua.php }}</ref> UA adalah salah satu anggota terpilih dari [[Asosiasi Universitas Amerika]] (AAU, suatu organisasi dari institusi-institusi riset terkemuka di Amerika Utara) dan merupakan satu-satunya wakil dari negara bagian Arizona dalam asosiasi ini.
==Reputasi akademis dan riset ==
Program-program yang paling menonjol di UA adalah Ilmu Optik, Astronomi, Astrofisika, Ilmu Planet dan Ruang Angkasa, Hidrologi, Hidrogeologi, Ilmu Bahasa, Filsafat, Teknik, dan Antropologi.
 
== Sejarah ==
UA tergolong sebagai universitas Carnegie Foundation "Doctoral/Research Universities—Extensive". Artinya, UA adalah perguruan tinggi yang melakukan riset tingkat doktoral yang luas.
[[Berkas:Old Main (U of Arizona).jpg|ka|jmpl|200px|Old Main, bangunan tertua di kampus Univeritas Arizona]]
Universitas Arizona disetujui pendiriannya oleh Badan Legislatif Teritori Arizona yang dikenal dengan julukan ''Thieving Thirteenth'' pada tahun 1885. Kota [[Tucson]] sebelumnya berharap menerima dana untuk pembangunan rumah sakit jiwa Teritori Arizona yang dialokasikan sejumlah USD 100,000 dan bukannya USD 25,000 yang dialokasikan untuk pembangunan satu-satunya universitas di teritori ini (Arizona State University juga disetujui pembentukannya pada tahun 1885, tetapi pada saat itu direncanakan sebagai sekolah guru Arizona, dan bukannya sebagai sebuah universitas). Para anggota dewan kota Tucson terlambat tiba di kota [[Prescott, Arizona]], akibat banjir di Sungai Salt (Arizona) dan saat mereka tiba keputusan yang mengalokasikan dana untuk institusi-institusi teritorial telah diambil. Perwakilan Tucson sangatlah kecewa menerima alokasi dana yang dianggap sebagai hadiah hiburan belaka.
 
Saat tidak ada pihak yang mau maju dan menyediakan tanah untuk institusi baru yang diputuskan, warga Tucson bersiap untuk mengembalikan dana kepada Badan Legislatif Teritori Arizona. Mereka berubah pikiran setelah dua orang penjudi dan seorang pengusaha bar memutuskan untuk menyumbangkan tanah yang dibutuhkan untuk membangun universitas tersebut. Proses belajar-mengajar terlaksana pertama kali pada tahun 1891 dengan jumlah 32 mahasiswa di gedung Old Main, bangunan pertama yang dibangun di kampus, dan masih digunakan hingga hari ini.<ref name="History 3">{{cite web | title=The Old Main | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=UA History | accessdate=March 29, 2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/history/history3.php | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060211105338/http://www.arizona.edu/tours/history/history3.php | archivedate=2006-02-11 | dead-url=no }}</ref> Oleh karena tidak ada sekolah menengah atas di Teritori Arizona saat itu, UA menyediakan program pendidikan persiapan masuk universitas secara terpisah dalam masa 23 tahun pertama kegiatan kuliah mereka.
UA menerima lebih dari AS$400 juta tiap tahunnya untuk pembiayaan riset. Jumlah ini adalah 75% dari total semua bantuan pembiayaan riset untuk para universitas di negara bagian Arizona. Jumlah ini tiga kali lebih besar daripada jumlah gabungan dana riset Arizona State University dan Northern Arizona University, dan merupakan jumlah terbesar ke-26 di Amerika Serikat bagi seluruh perguruan tinggi (swasta maupun negeri). Universitas ini pada tahun 2006 mendapatkan sumbangan dana sebesar AS$393,4 juta, sebagian besar untuk menyokong berbagai program riset.

== Akademisi ==
UA menerima dana dari NASA (Badan Antariksa Nasional Amerika Serikat) untuk program eksplorasi ruang angkasa lebih banyak daripada universitas manapun di dunia. Baru-baru ini, UA menerima dana sebesar AS$325 juta untuk memimpin program NASA di tahun 2007 mengenai misi ke Mars dan eksplorasi kutub utara Mars. Alhasil, UA menerima total dana bantuan tahunan dari NASA dan Jet Propulsion Laboratory (subdivisi NASA yang berfokus pada teknologi tenaga dorong jet) lebih besar daripada total dana bantuan yang diberikan NASA kepada sembilan universitas penerima bantuan lainnya.
Universitas Arizona mengajarkan 334 disiplin ilmu yang mengarah pada dianugerahkannya gelar sarjana, pasca-sarjana, doktoral dan pofesional. Departemen dan program akademisi ditata ke dalam berbagai Kolese dan Sekolah. Daftar kolese dan sekolah universitas ini bisa dilihat di http://www.arizona.edu/index/colleges.php.<ref>{{cite web | title= Colleges & Schools | publisher = University of Arizona | url=http://www.arizona.edu/index/colleges.php | accessdate=November 23, 2005}}</ref> Universitas Arizona adalah satu-satunya sekolah dalam Konferensi Pac-10 yang tidak memberikan nilai "plus" atau "minus" untuk kelas-kelasnya. Saat ini, nilai diberikan dalam skala 4-point yang ketat dengan "A" bernilai 4, "B: bernilai 3, "C" bernilai 2, "D" bernilai 1 dan "F" bernilai nol. Pada tahun 2004 muncul berbagai diskusi antara mahasiswa dan pengajar yang mungkin membawa UA menggunakan sistem penilaian puls-minus pada masa depan.<ref>{{cite web | title=Arizona Summer Wildcat – Making the grade: UA's plus/minus debate – Monday, August 9, 2004 | url=http://wc.arizona.edu/papers/97/160/01_1.html | accessdate=December 13, 2006 }}</ref> Hingga bulan Juli 2010 UA masih menggunakan skala 4-point.
 
=== Peringkat ===
Jumlah hasil karya Laboratorium Bulan dan Planet (Lunar & Planetary Laboratory) UA di dalam pesawat Cassini yang mengitari planet Saturnus lebih banyak daripada total hasil karya semua universitas lainnya yang turut di dalamnya. Laboratorium UA tersebut merancang dan mengoperasikan proyek investigasi dan pengambilan gambar radiasi atmosfer dalam program tersebut. UA mengoperasikan kamera HiRISE sebagai bagian dari program Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

<!--==History==
===Founding===
[[Image:Old_Main_(U_of_Arizona).jpg|right|thumb|200px|Old Main, the oldest building on the University of Arizona campus]]
The University of Arizona was approved by the Arizona Territorial Legislature in [[1885]]. Ironically, the city of Tucson had hoped to receive the appropriation for the territory's mental hospital, which carried a sum of money slightly larger than the $25,000 allotted to the territory's only university (the antecedent to Arizona State University was also chartered in 1885, but it was created as Arizona's [[normal school]], and not a university). [[Tucson]], having a smaller contingent of legislators than cities like [[Prescott, Arizona|Prescott]] and [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]], was granted last priority and was awarded the university, which disappointed many city residents. With no parties willing to step forth and provide land for the new institution, the citizens of Tucson prepared to return the money to the Territorial Legislature until two gamblers and a saloon keeper decided to donate the land necessary to build the school. Classes met for the first time in [[1891]] with 32 students in Old Main, the first building constructed on campus, and still in use to this day.

Universitas Arizona diklasifikasikan sebagai suatu universitas "RU/VH: Research Universities (very high research activity)", sebelumnya klasifikasi dengan nama universitas 'Research 1", oleh Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (atau lebih dikenal dengan sebutan Carnegie Foundation). UA menerima lebih dari USD 600 juta tiap tahunnya dalam bentuk dana riset, yang menghasilkan sekitar dua-per-tiga jumlah dana riset dalam sistem universitas Arizona,<ref name="Highlights and rankings 16">{{cite web | title = Campus Highlights | work = Highlights and Rankings | publisher = University of Arizona | accessdate = 29 March 2006 | url =http://asunews.asu.edu/20070919_research }}</ref> merupakan jumlah ke-26 terbesar di Amerika Serikat (termasuk institusi negeri maupun swasta).<ref name="uaadvancement 1">{{cite web|title=UA Highlights 2004–05|url=http://uaadvancement.arizona.edu/pdf/UA_Highlights_AY_2004-05.pdf|format=PDF|accessdate=July 17, 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060211012719/http://uaadvancement.arizona.edu/pdf/UA_Highlights_AY_2004-05.pdf|archivedate=2006-02-11|dead-url=yes}}</ref> UA memperoleh sumbangan dana sebesar USD 480.2 juta hingga tahun 2010.<ref name="2010 NACUBO Endowment Study">{{cite web | title = University of Arizona and Foundation | work = NACUBO Endowment Study 2010 | publisher = National Association of College and University Business Officers. | accessdate = 3 April 2010 | url = http://www.nacubo.org/Documents/research/2010NCSE_Public_Tables_Endowment_Market_Values_Final.pdf | archive-date = 2012-07-17 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120717082947/http://www.nacubo.org/Documents/research/2010NCSE_Public_Tables_Endowment_Market_Values_Final.pdf | dead-url = yes }}</ref>
The main campus sits on 380 acres in central Tucson, about one mile northeast of downtown. There are 179 buildings on the main campus. Many of the early buildings, including the [[Arizona State Museum]] buildings (one of them the 1927 main library) and Centennial Hall, were designed by Roy Place, a prominent Tucson architect. It was Place's use of red brick that set the tone for the red brick facades that are a basic and ubiquitous part of nearly all UA buildings.[http://www.tucsonweekly.com/tw/2000-10-12/curr4.html]

Berhasil mendarat di [[Planet Mars]] di bulan Maret 2006, ''Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter'' membawa kamera HiRISE, dengan Penyelidik Kepalanya ilmuwan Alfred McEwen sebagai pemimpin proyek. Misi NASA ke Mars ini membawa sebuah kamera yang dirancang oleh UA yang diharapkan bisa mendapatkan gambar-gambar planet tersebut dengan resolusi yang paling tinggi yang pernah terlihat. Perjalanan orbiter ini adalah sekitar 300 juta mil. Saat ini yang sedang beroperasi di permukaan Mars adalah ''Lander'' yang dikenal sebagai ''Phoenix Scout Mission'', dipimpin oleh ilmuwan UA Peter Smith. Tujuan misi ini adalah untuk menambah pengetahuan tentang kutub utara Mars.

{{main|Arizona Wildcats}}
[[Image:Arizona-a.gif|right|University of Arizona "A"]]
 
Like many large public universities in the [[U.S.]], sports are a major activity on campus, and receive a large operating budget. Arizona's athletic teams are nicknamed the '''Wildcats''', a name derived from a [[1914]] football game with then [[California]] champions [[Occidental College]], where the [[L.A. Times]] asserted that, "the Arizona men showed the fight of wildcats."<ref name="History 8">{{cite web | title=The McKale Era -- Building an Athletic Tradition | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=UA History | accessdate=March 29 | accessyear=2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/history/history8.php }}</ref> The University of Arizona participates in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]]'s Division I-A in the [[Pacific Ten Conference]].
 
===Men's Basketball===
The [[basketball|men's basketball]] team has been one of the nation's most successful programs since [[Lute Olson]] was hired as head coach in [[1983]]. As of 2006, the team has amassed 20 consecutive 20-win seasons, and reached the NCAA Tournament 22 consecutive years, which is the longest active and second-longest streak in [[NCAA]] history ([[University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]] has the longest streak with 27). [[Lute Olson]] has taken the Wildcats to the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship#Final Four|Final Four]] of the NCAA tournament in [[1988]], [[1994]], [[1997]], and [[2001]]. In [[1997]], Arizona defeated the [[University of Kentucky]], the defending national champions, to win the NCAA National Championship ([[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship]]) by a score of 84-79 in overtime; Olson's first national championship victory. The championship team became the first in [[NCAA]] history to defeat three number-one seeds en route to a national title. Current assistant coach, [[Miles Simon]] was chosen as [[Final Four MVP]]. In 1972 Fred Snowden was hired as the head basketball coach, making Arizona the first Division I school with a black head coach. The Wildcats play their home games at the [[McKale Center]] in Tucson. A number of former Wildcats have gone on to pursue successful professional NBA careers, including [[Gilbert Arenas]], [[Richard Jefferson]], [[Mike Bibby]], [[Jason Terry]], and [[Steve Kerr]].
 
===Football===
The [[American Football|football]] team began at the University of Arizona in [[1899]] under the nickname "Varsity" (a name kept until the [[1914]] season when the team was deemed the "Wildcats").<ref name="History 7">{{cite web | title=The First Football Team - 1899 | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=UA History | accessdate=March 29 | accessyear=2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/history/history7.php }}</ref>
 
The football team was notably successful in the 1990s under head coach [[Dick Tomey]] and his "Desert Swarm" defense that was characterized by tough, hard-nosed tactics. In [[1993]], the team had its first 10-win season and beat the [[University of Miami]] Hurricanes in the [[Fiesta Bowl]] by a score of 29-0. It was the bowl game's only shutout in its 23-year history. In [[1998]], the team posted a school-record 12-1 season and made the [[Holiday Bowl]] in which it defeated the [[University of Nebraska|Nebraska Cornhuskers]]. Arizona ended that season ranked 3rd nationally and 2nd in several publications.The 1998 Holiday Bowl was televised on ESPN and set the now-surpassed record of being the most watched of any bowl game in the network's history. The current record belongs to the 2005 [[Alamo Bowl]] between [[University of Michigan|Michigan]] and [[University of Nebraska|Nebraska]]. The Team is currently coached by [[Mike Stoops]], brother of [[Bob Stoops]] the head football coach at the [[University of Oklahoma]].

===Softball===
The Arizona [[softball]] team is among the top programs in the country and a perennial powerhouse. The softball team has won seven [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] Women's College World Series titles, in [[1991]], [[1993]], [[1994]], [[1996]], [[1997]], [[2001]], and [[2006]] under head coach [[Mike Candrea]] ([[NCAA Softball Championship]]). Arizona defeated [[Northwestern University]] in the [[2006]] National Championship series in [[Oklahoma City, Oklahoma|Oklahoma City]]. The team has appeared in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] National Championship in [[1991]], [[1992]], [[1993]], [[1994]], [[1995]], [[1996]], [[1997]], [[1998]], [[2001]], [[2002]] and [[2006]], a feat second only to [[UCLA]]. Coach Mike Candrea, along with former Arizona pitcher [[Jennie Finch]], led the [[2004]] U.S. Olympic softball team to a gold medal in [[Athens, Greece]].
 
===Men's and Women's Golf===
The university's [[golf]] teams have also been notably successful. The men's team won a national championship in [[1992]] ([[NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships]]), while the women's team won national championships in [[1996]] and [[2000]] ([[NCAA Women's Golf Championship]]).
 
===Other===
Three national championships for [[synchronized swimming]] were won in [[1980]], [[1981]], and [[1984]], though these championships were in the [[Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women]], and not the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]].
 
Although surprising to some, the University of Arizona has a noteworthy history in [[ice hockey]]. The school's club team, known as the Icecats, has won over 520 games since its inception in [[1978]]. The Icecats defeated [[Penn State]] for the National Collegiate Club Hockey National Championship in [[1985]]. They are now part of [[ACHA]] Division I.
 
===Individual National Championships===
A number of notable individuals have also won national championships in the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]].

===Rivalries===
A strong academic and athletic rivalry exists between the University of Arizona and [[Arizona State University]] located in [[Tempe, Arizona|Tempe]]. The UA leads the all-time record against ASU in men's basketball (135-73), football (44-34-1), and baseball (224-189-1) as of January 2006. The football rivalry game between the schools is known as "The Duel in the Desert." The trophy awarded after each game, the [[Territorial Cup]], is the nation's oldest rivalry trophy, distinguished by the NCAA. Rivalries have also been created with other [[Pacific Ten Conference|Pac-10]] teams, especially [[University of California, Los Angeles]] which has provided a worthy [[softball]] rival and was Arizona's main [[basketball]] rival in the early and mid-1990s.
 
===Mascot===
[[Image:Wilma_wilbur.jpg|right|Wilma & Wilbur]]
The University mascot is an [[anthropomorphized]] [[Bobcat|wildcat]] named [[Wilbur (mascot)|Wilbur]]. The identity of Wilbur is kept secret through the year as the mascot appears only in costume. In [[1986]], Wilbur married his longtime wildcat girlfriend, Wilma. Together, Wilbur and Wilma appear along with the [[cheerleading]] squad at most Wildcat sporting events.<ref name="Wilber">{{cite web | title=Wilbur & Wilma Wildcat | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=Traditions Tour | accessdate=March 29 | accessyear=2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/traditions/traditions3.php }}</ref>
Wilbur was originally created by Bob White as a cartoon character in the University's humor magazine, ''Kitty Kat''. From 1915 through the 1950s the school mascot was a live [[bobcat]], a species known locally as a wildcat. 1959 marked the creation of the first incarnated Wilbur, when University student John Paquette and his roommate, Dick Heller, came up with idea of creating a costume for a student to wear. Ed Stuckenhoff was chosen to wear the costume at the homecoming game in 1959 against Texas Tech and since then it has become a long-standing tradition. Wilbur will celebrate his 50th birthday in November 2009.
 
===Notable venues===
* [[McKale Center]], opened in [[1973]], is currently used by men's and women's basketball, women's gymnastics, and women's volleyball. The official capacity has changed often. The largest crowd to see a game in McKale was 15,176 in [[1976]] for a game against the [[University of New Mexico]], a main rival during that period. In [[2000]], the floor in McKale was dubbed Lute Olson Court, for the basketball program's winningest coach. During a memorial service in [[2001]] for Lute's wife, Bobbi, who'd died after a battle with ovarian cancer, the floor was renamed Lute and Bobbi Olson Court. In addition to the playing surface, McKale Center is host to the offices of the UA athletic department. McKale Center is named after J.F. Pop McKale, who was athletic director and coach from [[1914]] through [[1957]].
 
* [[Arizona Stadium]], built in [[1928]], seats over 56,000 patrons. It hosts [[American football]] games and has also been used for university graduations. The turf is [[bermuda grass]], taken from the local Tucson National Golf Club. Arizona football's home record is 258-139-12. The largest crowd ever in Arizona Stadium was 59,920 in 1996 for a game against Arizona State University.

* [[Rita Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium]] hosts [[softball]] games.
 
==Current state of the university==
* Led by Roger Angel, researchers in the [[Steward Observatory]] Mirror Lab at UA are working in concert to build the world's most advanced telescope. Known as the [[Giant Magellan Telescope]], the instrument will produce images 10 times sharper than those from the Earth-orbiting [[Hubble Telescope]]. The telescope is set to be completed in [[2016]] at a cost of $500 million USD. Researchers from at least nine institutions are working to secure the funding for the project. The telescope will include seven 18-ton mirrors capable of providing clear images of [[volcanoes]] and riverbeds on [[Mars]] and [[mountains]] on the moon at a rate 40 times faster than the world's current large telescopes. The mirrors of the Giant Magellan Telescope will be built at UA and transported to a permanent mountaintop site in the [[Chile|Chilean]] [[Andes]] where the telescope will be constructed.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/undergrad/classes/fall2005/Lauretta_102-14/SciAZ/GiantMagTel.htm | title=Giant Magellan Telescope | accessdate=2006-07-12}}</ref>
 
* The [[Arizona Radio Observatory]], a part of [[Steward Observatory]], operates the [[ARO 12m Radio Telescope|12 Meter Telescope]] on [[Kitt Peak]] and the [[Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope|Submillimeter Telescope]] on [[Mount Graham]].
 
* Reaching [[Mars]] in March 2006, the [[Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter]] contained the HiRISE camera, with Primary Investigator is [[scientist]] [[Alfred McEwen]] as the lead on the project. This [[NASA]] mission to Mars carried a UA-designed camera expected to capture the highest-resolution images of the planet ever seen. The journey of the orbiter was 300 million miles. The project is expected to be in its Primary Science Phase in the month of October.
 
* Under construction is the [[Mars]] Lander known as the [[Phoenix (spacecraft)|Phoenix Scout Mission]], led by UA Scientist Peter Smith. The mission's purpose is to improve knowledge of the Martian Artic. After landing on Mars, it will be the first mission completely controlled by a university.
 
* A downturn in Arizona's economy in the 2000s led to less money being allocated by the state legislature to Arizona's universities. Academic programs were hard-hit, and the university was forced to consider extensive changes, beginning in [[2002]]. As a result, a reorganization known as '''"Focused Excellence"''' aimed to focus the mission of the university on '''research''', '''graduate training''', and '''more selective undergraduate education''', in part, by eliminating and merging less popular and low-revenue academic departments. The closure of some programs, notably the innovative Arizona International College and the School of Planning, provoked widespread protest. However, efforts to improve academic performance and to encourage new research areas were not enough to prevent a number of key departures from the faculty in the early 2000s, and budgets remain restricted. '''"Focused Excellence"''' was quietly wound up in 2006 and its website removed, but new President Robert Shelton's Dec. 2006 [http://www.president.arizona.edu/prescomm_more.cfm?f_ID=19| message to the University] suggests further retrenchment is essential in the light of funding cuts.
 
* The University of Arizona is the only remaining [[PAC-10]] conference school to not award plus and minus grades for courses. Currently, grades are given on a strict 4-point scale with "A" worth 4, "B" worth 3, "C" worth 2, "D" worth 1 and "E" worth zero points. Discussions with students and faculty may lead the UA toward using a plus-minus grading system in the future. Administrators say that the change could occur as early as Fall [[2006]].<ref>{{cite web | title=Arizona Summer Wildcat - Making the grade: UA's plus/minus debate - Monday, August 9, 2004 | url=http://wc.arizona.edu/papers/97/160/01_1.html | accessdate=December 13 | accessyear=2006 }}</ref>
 
==Student life==
 
===Recognized fraternities and sororities of the Greek System===
There are currently (2005) 44 [[Fraternities and sororities|fraternity and sorority]] chapters that are recognized by the University of Arizona. As of [[2006]], approximately 10.3 % of male UA students were members of campus fraternities, and 10.8 % of female students were members of sororities. The fraternities and sororities are governed by 3 governing councils. The ''Interfraternity Council (IFC)'' represents 25 fraternities, the ''National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC)'' represents 6 historically African-American fraternities and sororities, and the ''Panhellenic Association (PHC)'' represents 20 sororities. The university maintains a full list of recognized fraternities and sororities as well as a map that highlights the locations of fraternity and sorority houses at http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/greek/chapters/index.php <ref>{{cite web | title= http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/greek/chapters/index.php | url=http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/greek/chapters/index.php | accessdate=November 23 | accessyear=2005 }}</ref>.
 
===Recognized student clubs and organizations===
A new and expansive Student Union building,<ref>{{cite web | title=home : arizona student unions (See above) | url=http://www.union.arizona.edu | accessdate=November 23 | accessyear=2005 }}</ref> opened in [[2003]] as the largest student union in the U.S. not affiliated with a hotel. The University of Arizona is home to more than 500 philanthropic, multi-cultural, social, athletic, academic, and student clubs and campus organizations. A listing is found at Center For Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL)<ref>{{cite web | title= Center For Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL) | url=http://www.union.arizona.edu/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Clubs | accessdate=November 23 | accessyear=2005 }}</ref> through the Student Union.
 
CSIL also houses the Arizona Blue Chip Program<ref>{{cite web | title= Arizona Blue Chip Program | url=http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/bluechip/index.php | accessdate=November 23 | accessyear=2005 }}</ref> one of the largest collegiate-level leadership development programs in the United States, with over 500 active students at any one time throughout the 4 years of the program. Blue Chip was founded in [[1999]] and has formed a partnership with the [[University of Wollongong]], in [[Wollongong, New South Wales|Wollongong]], [[Australia]] where a sister program, the Black Opal Leadership Development Program<ref>{{cite web | title= Black Opal Leadership Development Program | url=http://unicentre.uow.edu.au/csd/blackopal | accessdate=November 23 | accessyear=2005 }}</ref> began in February, [[2005]]. Structure, curriculum, students and even staff are exchanged between the two institutions in a unique international leadership development initiative.
 
Through funding from the CSIL and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, clubs are given the resources and encouragement to explore unusual interests.
 
===Student government representation===
[[Image:N466.11.jpg|thumb|190px|The logo of the UA Residence Hall Association.]]
Overall, students at the University of Arizona have, since [[1913]], been represented by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona (ASUA). Representation is elected by the students every year (usually in March). In recent years, the [[Graduate and Professional Student Council]] (GPSC) has emerged to represent issues specific to non-undergrads.
 
On-Campus residents also have their own Student Leadership Organization known as the [http://uarha.web.arizona.edu/ Residence Hall Association]. Anyone who lives on campus is automatically a member of RHA. The individual subunits of RHA consist of the hall councils of all 21 residence halls. Each Hall Council is composed of a President, a Director of Programming (for social events), a Director of Operations (for administrative duties), and two RHA Representatives who are sent to represent their hall at RHA General Body Meetings. At these meetings, the gathered representatives and RHA Executive Board, elected from within the RHA General Body, discuss issues and make decisions concerning all 6,000 on campus residents. The RHA Executive Board consists of 7 different elected positions (President, Vice President of Public Relations, National Communications Coordinator, Vice President of Finances, Vice President of Operations, Vice President of Services, and Vice President of Programming) along with an appointed Parliamentarian position and two general advisors plus one programming advisor.
 
==Miscellany==
===Film===
* The film ''[[Revenge Of The Nerds|Revenge of the Nerds]]'' ([[1984]]) was filmed at the University of Arizona. In the movie, the Alpha Beta "jock" house is the real-life home to the UA chapter of the [[Alpha Gamma Rho]] Fraternity. The dorm room (with the balcony) seen in the film is located on the third floor of historic Cochise Hall on campus.
 
* In the [[1994]] film ''[[Speed (film)|Speed]]'', [[Keanu Reeves]] responds to [[Sandra Bullock]]’s University of Arizona t-shirt by saying, "Arizona Wildcats...good football team."
 
* In the [[2006]] film ''[[You, Me and Dupree]]'', several characters are watching the Arizona Wildcats play football against [[Washington State University]]. While playing in their blue uniforms, Arizona scores on a fumble recovery.
 
===Novels===
*Portions of [[David Foster Wallace]]'s novel ''[[Infinite Jest]]'' take place at the University of Arizona campus, including a scene in the administration building satirizing the school's [[bureaucracy]]. Foster Wallace is an alumnus of UA.
 
===Comedy===
 
* The campus comedy group, [[Comedy Corner]] claims to be the oldest college sketch and improv comedy group and has performed at the [[National College Comedy Festival]].<ref> http://www.union.arizona.edu/csil/uab/comedycorner/ </ref>
 
===History===
* In [[1974]], the University of Arizona received $5.5 million USD from the [[Arizona]] state legislature to renovate its football stadium. A provision of this legislation (ARS 15-1630) prohibited [[University Medical Center]] from performing abortions (unless the mother's life is in jeopardy) or teaching its medical students [[abortion]] procedures. This legislation is still in effect, and could potentially impact every public medical school in Arizona, making Arizona the only state which prohibits the teaching of abortion in public universities. To address this issue, [[Planned Parenthood]] implemented a rotation for [[obstetrics]] and [[gynecology]] residents to receive abortion training. Interested residents and medical students have the ability to utilize such resources to study the medical and surgical procedures of abortion. Second and third year Ob/Gyn residents have scheduled time available to pursue training. Medical students may pursue training on an elective basis.
 
* The University of Arizona [[marching band]], named [[The Pride of Arizona]], played at the halftime of the first [[Super Bowl]].
 
* The current school colors are cardinal [[red]] and navy [[blue]]. Before [[1900]], the colors were sage green and silver. The switch was made when a lucrative discount on red and blue jerseys became available.<ref name="Colors">{{cite web | title=UA Colors | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=Traditions Tour | accessdate=March 29 | accessyear=2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/traditions/index.php }}</ref>
 
* Arizona's first mascot was a real desert [[bobcat]] named "Rufus Arizona", introduced in [[1915]].<ref name="History 10">{{cite web | title=Rufus Arizona | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=UA History | accessdate=March 29 | accessyear=2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/history/history10.php }}</ref>
 
* In [[1952]] Jack K. Lee, an applicant for the UA's band directorship, departed Tucson by air following an interview with UA administration. From his airplane window, Lee observed the huge letters on the roof of the UA gymnasium reading "BEAR DOWN." Inspired, Lee scribbled down the music and lyrics to an up-tempo song. By the time his plane landed, he had virtually finished it. A few weeks later Lee was named the UA band director, and in September [[1952]], the UA band performed "Bear Down, Arizona!" in public for the first time. Soon thereafter, "Bear Down, Arizona!" became accepted as UA's fight song ([[Bear Down]]).<ref name="Berger Memorial Fountain">{{cite web | title=Berger Memorial Fountain | publisher=Arizona Board of Regents | year=2005 | work=UA History | accessdate=March 29 | accessyear=2006 | url=http://www.arizona.edu/tours/traditions/traditions11.php }}</ref>
