Good morning! On this day in 1885, the state legislature passed an act allowing for the establishment of what would become the University of Arizona. Here are some historic photos, including the college’s first building, Old Main.

As St. Patrick’s Day approaches, we’ve tracked down some fun events planned across the state. Check today’s Et Cetera section for details.

Today’s sponsor is Mode Mobile, offering an investment opportunity in their pre-IPO offering.

Musk Calls Kelly ‘Traitor’ in Fiery Exchange

Elon Musk prompted a strong reaction from U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly for calling the lawmaker a “traitor” after Kelly’s weekend visit to Ukraine.

The war of words came after Kelly, a leading critic of President Trump’s Ukraine policy, took to X to advocate for Ukraine. Musk replied, “You are a traitor.”

The Arizona senator fired back by telling reporters Musk is “not a serious guy” who should “go back to building rockets.”

The quarrel comes after President Trump paused funding for Ukraine following a testy televised meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

20-Year-Old Hiker Missing

Rescue crews on Tuesday continued searching for a missing 20-year-old hiker last seen Saturday afternoon in Peoria. Watch the report.

Luke Wuennenberg went missing in a mountainous desert region near the Vistancia neighborhood. His family said he’s an experienced hiker and familiar with the location.

Police, who conducted ground and air searches, said his phone appeared to be powered off, and that he reportedly made concerning comments before leaving.

Wuennenberg is 5’11”, 130 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and black gym shorts and carrying a dark backpack.

‘Work From Home’ Apartments Open

An apartment complex in downtown Tempe that caters to people who work from home will host a grand opening ceremony this weekend.

The 129-unit complex, called Dwell, offers private meeting and teleconferencing rooms. Depending on the floor plan, each unit may include a separate office, nook desk area, or built-in desk.

“Dwell will contribute to the housing necessary to support Tempe’s growing workforce in the downtown area where rents would otherwise continue to climb out of employees’ reach,” project spokesman Steve Betts said.

The units are affordable because they’re built alongside commercial properties, reducing land and parking costs, officials said.
