disseminated, a development that changed the course of human history. “It’s like jumping back in time,” said student Travis Boswell, 21, who packs a laptop and a smartphone when he’s not inking the 1910-era Chandler and Price press. Anna Cauffman, 23, a graphic design major, said the letterpress lab has piqued her interest in how communication developed over the last few centuries. “Seeing how far things have come, from the handdone to the digital stuff, is just crazy,” she said. “It makes me have a better appreciation for what we have today.” Part of the attraction of letterpress is that it tends to be slightly imperfect, giving the end product a feeling of authenticity, Cauffman said.
“When you print on a laser inkjet printer, every copy comes out exactly the same. With handmade prints, no two are alike.” The letterpress lab opened in 2011 after Karen Zimmer man, an associate art professor, procured a major donation of equipment. A New Mexico printer, Jack Sinclair, started seeking a new home for his old machinery when he became terminally ill, Zimmerman said. Sinclair’s widow followed through, bequeathing 15 tons of equipment to the UA, including three mid20th century Vandercook presses and 10 cabinets full of type, ink and materials. The UA also has an 1890s hand press that is being restored.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PRINT THE OLD-SCHOOL WAY TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — In the era of texting and tweeting, a centuries-old communication technique still has fans at the University of Arizona. A few times a week, 20somethings gather inside a for mer campus eatery, leaving high-tech behind for a world of wood and metal type and handmixed inks at the UA Letterpress Lab. Here, they create books, cards, posters and whimsy using techniques that date back to the 15th century when the printing press was born. It isn’t lost on the students that the methods they’re learning were just as revolutionary in their day as smart phones and laptops are today. The earliest mass-printing marked the first time knowledge could be widely

Life,” the guy who played Mini Me in an Austin Powers movie rides a scooter naked. Why didn’t Kim Kardashian think of that? The “Queer Eye” guys go nude. Did they have scooters, as well? I honestly don’t know. Michelle Obama appears on “The Biggest Loser.” This is a weight loss program, not the Republican Convention. And finally, chef Gordon Ramsay “fatshames” a “Hell’s Kitchen” contestant. All I can say is that Jackie Gleason would have taken Ramsay out. So it is beyond dispute that television is
in deep trouble. These reality shows make “Gilligan’s Island” look like “Macbeth.” They are like unspeakable zombies destroying the entire structure of the television industry. Thank God PBS is still on the air. But even here there is some worry. Elmo has been seen hanging with the Kardashians. It’s just a matter of time until someone gets engaged.

JUDGE RULES MENTAL HEALTH AUDIT WILL REMAIN SECRET SANTA FE (AP) — A second New Mexico judge has ruled that government agencies can keep confidential an audit of more than a dozen mental health providers under investigation for possible overbillings and fraud. District Judge Sarah Singleton agreed with Attorney General Gary’s King office in a lawsuit by the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government seeking to force disclosure of the audit, which the
state used to freeze Medicaid payments to the behavioral health providers. The judge said that withheld portions of the audit are law enforcement materials protected from disclosure under the Inspection of Public Records Act. The judge issued her decision on Thursday, when the court was closed because of a winter storm. A judge in Las Cruces made a similar ruling last month in a separate lawsuit.
