SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899

Res Life policy may assume misconduct By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT

Each semester some students are put on deferred eviction for violating the Residence Life code of conduct, yet some say they were wrongly accused of any misconduct. Chris Fauntleroy, an undeclared freshman, said he was placed on deferred eviction because his dorm room in Hopi Lodge smelled like marijuana. He said one day last semester he heard a knock on his dorm room door, and opened it to find University of Arizona Police Department officers waiting outside. The officers came in because they said the room smelled marijuana. After they searched his

room and found nothing, Fauntleroy said he was still punished and placed on deferred eviction. Another student claimed a similar thing happened to her. Angelica Luczak, a nutritional sciences freshman, said she wasn’t even in her dorm when officers said they smelled marijuana. She said one day while she was in class, UAPD officers came and knocked on her door, and her roommate opened it for them. When she got back, she was informed by her hall’s resident assistant that she had been written up, and soon after she was placed on deferred eviction. “Just because it allegedly smelled like weed I got put on deferred eviction,” Luczak said.

Joey Lapidus, an undeclared freshman, said he was in a situation where he also felt he was punished unfairly. He said he was in a friend’s dorm room where there was marijuana present, and although he himself did not possess any, he was written up and placed on deferred eviction. “We don’t have anything to do with Residence Life punishments,” said Juan Alvarez, UAPD’s public information officer. Alvarez said that if they find sufficient evidence of a student smoking marijuana, then that student will be punished in congruence with Arizona law. The officers who respond to marijuana complaints within the dorms

look for some specific signs of a student smoking marijuana. These may include the scent of marijuana, bloodshot eyes, leftover residue in the mouth, a discoloration of the tongue and associated paraphernalia like pipes, papers and containers, Alvarez said. Although the officers look for certain signs, Alvarez said that “it’s hard to generalize because every person reacts (to marijuana) differently.” Jim Van Arsdel, assistant vice president of Student Affairs and University Housing, said Residence Life is not going out of its way to look for students that violate the code of conduct, but if a violation occurs, they will pursue it.

According to Van Arsdel, a student can be punished and evicted from their residence hall for a number of reasons. Some violations like dealing drugs, possessing a weapon or stealing or tampering with fire safety mechanisms can result in an immediate eviction. “Very seldom does this occur,” Van Arsdel said. The reason students are placed on deferred eviction and not kicked out immediately, he said, is because in most cases, there is a potential opportunity for the students to learn from their mistakes, so deferred eviction may act as a warning. “Do it again and you’re out,” Van Arsdel said.

Giant telescope upgraded with cast of second mirror By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT

The second mirror for the Giant Magellan Telescope was cast in the Steward Observatory Mirror Laboratory on Saturday. The Giant Magellan Telescope, which began its design phase for the mirrors in 2005, will have 10 times the resolving power of the Hubble Space Telescope, and, once operational, will equate to 100 billion people looking at the sky at one time. Once components of the telescope are constructed, they will be transported to Chile, and the entire unit will be assembled and situated atop Las Campanas peak in the Andes Mountains as part of the Las Campanas Observatory. From here, astronomers will be able to view the southern hemisphere free from light pollution and other disturbances. The 27-foot mirror was the second of seven primary mirrors to be cast since the project’s inception in 2005. The remaining primary mirrors will also be cast at the mirror lab, which,

according to Pat McCarthy, the project’s director, is the only place this project can be done. “The UA has just a fantastic astronomy department that has such a long history both in building telescopes and using them to do great science that they’re a natural partner,” McCarthy said. “Under Professor (Roger) Angel, they’ve really developed this unique, one-of-a-kind capability to make large, astronomical optics that have just superb performance. We wanted to build a really big telescope like this and do it in a university environment; the U of A is the only place to do it.” The casting process for one mirror takes 12 to 13 weeks. While about 20 tons of glass are used to produce each mirror, the final product is much lighter, as it is molded using a honeycomb pattern which provides a stable, yet lightweight structure. The glass is then heated to about 2,156 degrees and spun in a rotating oven where it flows as a liquid into the mold. While spinning, the mirror takes the desired

concave shape, then finally becomes rigid during the 11 to 12-week cooling process. After being ground and polished, it is transported to the site by truck where it is mounted and tested. According to Peter Strittmatter, the Steward Observatory director and member of the Giant Magellan Telescope Organization board of directors, it is theoretically possible to make the mirrors larger, but mirrors with a larger diameter wouldn’t fit through the mirror lab’s bay door, and would be nearly impossible to transport. Funding for the $700 million project is split between partners, who usually pay 10 percent of the construction and operation costs and receive a 10 percent share for usage of the telescope, according to McCarthy. Different partners get their funding from various sources, McCarthy said. The U.S. receives its funding from gifts or financial resources within universities. Recently, a contribution of $25 million was made by George P. Mitchell, founder of the Mitchell Energy and Development

Corporation. Mitchell’s contribution paid for the majority of the first mirror, which has been named after him. According to scientists working in the mirror lab, constructing the mirrors at the UA adds to the university’s reputation and prestige as an institution known for making groundbreaking advancements and discoveries. “We are making one of the singlemost challenging and expensive parts of the telescope,” Strittmatter said. “It clearly continues to send a loud message to the world as to what a great place the University of Arizona is ... Like any other research field, you always have to be moving forward with more powerful instrumentation; otherwise, you get left behind with the others. For us, this represents a key step forward to ensure that we remain at the cutting edge.” Online at DAILYWILDCAT.COM Check out more pictures of the Giant Magellan Telescope at dailywildcat.com

Student injured in accident abroad By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

When Diane Contreras, mother of a UA student, heard that her son had been in a motorcycle accident while studying abroad, she never thought she would have to find approximately $50,000 to fly him back to Tucson for proper treatment. “I was caught off guard about the details of evacuation insurance,” she said. “I wish I would have investigated that more.” Justin Contreras, a 19-year old who was studying aboard in Guatemala, was a passenger in a motorcycle crash that occurred on a remote

Nicaraguan island. Justin Contreras’ friend he had met the day before was driving the motorcycle back from their overnight to Nicaragua, Diane Contreras said, when a drunk driver on another bike hit her son head on. His study abroad program ended on Dec. 9, 2011, the same day his study abroad insurance had expired. This insurance covers expenses associated with medical evacuation to a home country, which Justin Contreras needed on Dec. 12, 2011, the day the accident PHOTO COURTESY OF SHANNON MCCARTHY-CONTRERAS happened.

ACCIDENT, 8 bilitation center in Phoenix.

Activists, students, professors and community members from across the country attended Tucson’s first-ever regional abolition conference on Saturday to network, learn and confront the issue of human trafficking. Human trafficking is the “recruiting, transporting, transferring, harboring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them,” according to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. A simpler definition is forcing someone, whether by physical force, manipulation, threats or other methods, to engage in any type of work against his or her will. Many of the activists at Saturday’s conference defined human trafficking as modern-day slavery. Experts and anti-trafficking organizations estimate that 27 million men, women and children are enslaved worldwide. Human trafficking is a $31 billion industry, and two million children are exploited in the sex trade alone. “It’s a really big problem that a lot of people in the United States know very little about, so our goal is to make more and more regular citizens aware that the problem exists right here in Southern Arizona and it exists around the entire globe,” said Karna Walter, director of nationally competitive scholarships at the Honors College and chair of Southern Arizona Against Slavery. “Then hopefully education and awareness lead to action and combating the problem.” The Abolition Conference

Architecture yields highest unemployment rate By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT Students who received bachelor degrees in architecture experienced the highest unemployment rate upon graduating, according to a study released by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. According to the study, students who had undergraduate degrees in architecture showed the highest rate of unemployment (13.9 percent). Architecture graduates have topped the list for the past four years. Since 2008, the profession of construction and design has been deteriorating, and people throughout the industry have been losing their jobs. When the recovery comes it will not be as robust as people may have seen in the past, according to Robert Miller, director of the School of Architecture. Once the economy gets better, companies are going to be conscious about who they hire back. “They won’t be hiring their older employees for many reasons. First, they are going to be out of touch within the field of work for a long time,” Miller said. “Second, they are going to be older, and third, it is going to be more expensive to get those people back.” Mi

Miller added that World War II brought a tremendous career opportunity for young architects and that they are now “the key to solving the global climate change problem (by) being more environmentally conscious during the construction process.” These opportunities will be the most incredible for students since World War II, according to Miller. “This will bring a huge demand for young architects, and students with developed skills and great attitudes,” he said. Architecture employers will also want to hire students with experience in the field, Miller said. “Architecture teaches you other things, you don’t have to only focus on construction building, but maybe go into the field of design,” said Shane Parker, a third-year architecture graduate student. “I am going wherever the job takes me.” Parker was one of many architecture students who decided to continue on with graduate school, and said he hopes that by the time he graduates, the economy will have improved. Miller’s advice to current UA seniors who are about to graduate from the five-year architecture program is to

finish their education to demonstrate how good they are. Architecture seniors are about to begin their final project for their portfolios, which is their capstone, and this is the most important and comprehensive project, Miller said. The portfolios will also show their most recent and important work for employers to look at. “For those students, they must do everything they can to have the most fabulous and complete portfolios, knock-your-socks-off, comprehensive capstone project,” Miller said. As for the current and incoming freshmen, they have at least five years of education ahead of them before going out into the job market, Miller said. The demand for design and construction has not gone away — and it will continue to build until the people who have launched certain projects have confidence in the economy again to continue the construction of these projects, he added. “I do architecture because I want to help people by giving them a good place to live,” said Justin Wolfe, a thirdyear undergraduate student in the architecture program. “You do architecture because you love architecture, you do not do it for the money.”

addressed human trafficking on a global, national and local level. Keynote speakers included Kaign Christy of International Justice Mission, Bradley Myles of the Polaris Project and Linda Smith of Shared Hope International. Between each keynote address, the audience attended smaller sessions that featured speakers from Southern Arizona Against Slavery, Streetlight Tucson, the Phoenix police vice squad and the ASSET India Foundation, among many others. Christy began the conference by addressing the importance of functioning public justice systems in fighting human trafficking. According to Christy, more than half the world’s population lives in a place where the legal system is corrupt, poorly structured or virtually nonexistent. “Broken public justice systems are like hospitals that make people sick,” he said. Fixing these systems is key to bringing security to victims of human trafficking, he added. Myles, founder of the Polaris Project, an organization that combats human trafficking and operates a national trafficking hotline, outlined the challenges facing the anti-trafficking movement, including a lack of awareness among citizens and a lack of training among law enforcement. Widespread denial that slavery even exists, he said, is one of the largest obstacles.

DAILY WILDCAT •

The anti-trafficking movement started gaining momentum around the year 2000 with the advent of the United States Trafficking Victims Protection Act and the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, or the Palermo Protocol. Each year, the U.S. Department of State issues the Trafficking in Persons Report, which ranks countries worldwide on their efforts to combat human trafficking. In the 2010 report, 22 countries improved their rankings. Nineteen countries, however, were downgraded due to “sparse victim protections, desultory implementation or inadequate legal structures.” As the anti-trafficking movement grows, community organizations are joining the fight. One session at the conference featured representatives from three student groups at the UA that are addressing human trafficking: the UA chapter of International Justice Mission, the UA New Abolitionists and the Honors Civic Engagement Team with Southern Arizona Against Slavery. These groups work to raise awareness among the student population, fundraise for the antitrafficking organizations and host events to help connect students to the issue. “Students hear about (human trafficking) but they don’t know what they can do,” said Morgan Van Stelle, a social services junior and member of the campus chapter of International Justice Mission. Sarah Hutchison, an elementary education junior, said she attended the conference to learn

more about how she can participate in the effort to combat human trafficking. The issue cannot be ignored, she said. “People’s lives are at stake, ultimately,” Hutchison said. “But at the same time, our

morals are at stake. This is an entire supply and demand industry … it’s flourishing because of the fact that people are wanting it, and that’s awful to think that that’s kind of where our culture is right now.”

Scientists picture black hole proof By Stephanie Zawada DAILY WILDCAT

For years, space has been a playground for astronomers and physicists to hypothesize about how known principles and theories of science act under a kaleidoscope of varying conditions. With the construction of the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists will be able to take a picture of the area known as Sagittarius A-star and determine whether or not a black hole, an area of space surrounded by a gravitational field from which nothing can escape, exists there. Scientists from around the globe will assemble on Wednesday at the

Westin La Paloma resort in Tucson for a conference organized by two UA professors: Dimitrios Psaltis, an associate professor of astrophysics, and Dan Marrone, an assistant professor of astronomy. The conference will address the Event Horizon Telescope, a worldwide network of telescopes built to take a picture of one of the Milky Way Galaxy’s black holes, the Sagittarius A-star. The conference’s scientific organizing committee consists of 12 world-renowned researchers, including Marrone and Lucy Ziurys, a professor of astronomy and biochemistry whose research is at the forefront of the developing astrochemistry field.

Since a black hole is essentially a vacuum for all physical matter, including light particles, it is impossible to observe one with the naked eye. Up until now, a black hole has only been observed through gravitational lensing, a technique based upon Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, which looks for bent light as a result of the way a black hole’s mass bends the fabric of empty space. Scientists, however, have designed the specific imaging equipment of the Event Horizon Telescope to detect and capture photos of emitted radiation from the matter passing through the black hole’s event horizon, or the point where

its gravitational field is too strong to overcome. This outline of emitted radiation is known as a black hole’s “shadow.” Seeing a picture of Sagittarius Astar’s shadow will define black holes as possessing either circular or oblate shapes. If the shape of the black hole is oblate, the relativity theory will need revising. Scientists hope to understand the accretion process better with the concrete evidence produced by photos from the Event Horizon Telescope. These pictures should also help them to better understand the “jets” of light emitted by black holes. Currently, the Event Horizon Telescope consists of linked radio

telescopes positioned in Arizona, California and Hawaii as well as in Chile and Mexico, with more to be added. Radio telescopes are being used for this endeavor because radio waves pass through space objects to give researchers a clear view, something that is not possible with all forms of light. Also, constructing an optical telescope of this magnitude, while ideal, is not currently possible. The actual date of the Event Horizon Telescope’s black hole photo shoot remains unsettled. After examining Sagittarius A-star, researchers will use the Event Horizon Telescope to penetrate a black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy.

Get off Facebook, appreciate real friends Serena Valdez Daily Wildcat

significant part of social interaction has completely transferred to the Internet. For example, when you first meet someone in class or at work, you know that later that day, or even that minute if you have a fancy smart phone, you can — and probably will — find them and send a friend request on Facebook. No doubt, it is probably Think of it as the first thing an exercise everyone checks when in picking they hop your Top 8, onto the as in the preInternet. Facebook era Even if your sole reason of Myspace. for being on the web is to do homework, it is never a bad idea to check your “news feed” real quick just to see what everyone else is up to before you actually get back to what’s important. Just in case you forgot, the important thing was doing your homework, not spending 15 minutes cruising your “feed” and somehow finding yourself on picture 87 of 193 of a random friend that you haven’t talked to in months. Recently, UA research about the psychological influence of “friends” on Facebook has shown that a shrinking friends list can damage your psyche. As found in the research, people feel hurt when they find that someone deleted them as a friend because, in essence, it feels like they’re being left out without knowing why. So why do people have hundreds upon hundreds of friends on Facebook if, in reality, there might be, at most, 40 people that they actually keep in some sort of contact with? If you think about it, you are ultimately setting yourself up for personal disappointment if you continuously add more and more friends only to get upset when a few people deleted you because you aren’t actually friends anymore. Let’s face it, there is no way it can be said that we keep in touch with all our Facebook friends. What people should do to change this need to be attached to everyone they’ve ever met in life is to reevaluate their perspective on what it means to have friends on Facebook. If you find that you don’t have as many friends on your list as you did yesterday, take a second to realize who those people might have been and whether it matters that much if you aren’t their Facebook friend. If you still see your close friends on your list, then there should be no reason to be upset. Connecting with people in real life is different from how we interact with them online. If we keep that in mind, it won’t be heartbreaking to lose a few “friends” because we know who our real friends are. Think of it as an exercise in picking your Top 8, as in the pre-Facebook era of Myspace. Maybe we can up it to a Top 20. Because let’s face it, we may be excited when we find someone we used to hang with in middle school or elementary school, but how likely is it that we will reconnect with them after one or two days of quickly browsing their profile and exchanging quick pleasantries? It’s safe to say that the answer is highly unlikely. So relax, it’s not the end of the world if you lose a couple of friends on Facebook. That’s life.

niversity of Arizona Medical Center has made its own New Year’s Resolution: banning smoking anywhere near the building. Hallelujah! Smoking should be banned at all hospitals. It’s great one so close to home made this rule. If you work in the medical field, wouldn’t you, of all people, be aware of what smoking does to you? Or, if you were visiting someone in the hospital, why would you go outside and kill yourself a little more by having a cigarette? So now we not only say good bye to the “butt-huts” — which were the designated smoking areas at the hospital — but also to smoking in the parking lot, or in a car on the property. A hospital is a place of healing, and cigarettes only hinder that. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by AIDS, illegal

drugs, alcohol, car accidents, suicides and murders combined. Smoking can be annoying anywhere, but banning it from a hospital makes the most sense. The medical center is not the only hospital to make this change. Slowly but surely, more and more hospitals around the U.S. are beginning to follow this movement. Not only are they banning smoking, but some hospitals will not even hire an applicant if they are a current smoker. This makes perfect sense. Nurses, doctors and all people in the medical field should be an example of health to patients, who shouldn’t have to see their nurse or doctor have a cigarette before treating them. Lung patients especially shouldn’t have to pass through a cloud of smoke, potentially being produced by the ones supposed to be caring for them, in the parking lot of a hospital.

Police Beat By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Intersection intoxication

A UA student was arrested for underage drinking on campus on Wednesday. The incident occurred at 1:27 a.m. at the intersection of Cherry Avenue and East First Street. A University of Arizona Police Department officer noticed that the student was in a daze and decided to stop and see if the student was OK. The officer found that the student was in possession of alcoholic beverages and cited the student for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Reckless residents

A resident assistant called UAPD on Wednesday at 5 p.m. due to complaints over the volume of music in a residents’ room. The RA had told them to turn down the music several times. Officers arrived on the scene and gave the student a warning for excessive loud music and noise. The warning was filed under the “disturbing the peace” category. There is no further information at this time.

Alpha Phi fire

A fire started in the Alpha Phi sorority house during the late afternoon on Wednesday. UAPD officers and Tucson Fire Department officials said they do not know what caused the fire in the house. There will be forthcoming investigations. UAPD and TFD officers arrived at the scene and made sure everyone inside of the house was safe and moved them outside. No one was injured.

Another bike stolen

UAPD officers responded to a student’s call in response to a missing bike on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The officers arrived at the scene and investigated the surrounding areas. They gave the student a victim’s rights form and informed the student that they would continue searching for the bike, which was last seen on University Boulevard.

Suspicious smokers

UAPD officers were on duty and patrolling the campus on Wednesday at 10:15 p.m. when they saw two UA students huddled in a corner outside of a dorm on Highland Avenue. When police officers stopped, the two students dispersed behind the dorms near the stadium parking lots. The police officers continued their patrol and eventually found the students. Officers said they believed that the two individuals were smoking marijuana outside of the dorm. No further action was taken by UAPD officers.

Midnight malice

At midnight on Wednesday, two students were found attempting to vandalize the Student Recreation Center and were immediately arrested by UAPD officers. The students were read their rights, placed under arrest and put in the back of a police car. The students said they were playing around and having fun. The two students were brought down to the station and interrogated further. Officers searched around the Rec Center for anything that was broken, but were unable to find anything.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Lunar and Planetary Laboratory Colloquium Hal Levison from Southwest Research Institute presents “Tackling Some Issues in Planet Formation – From Mars’ Size to a Fast Formation of Neptune.” The standard model of planet formation has difﬁculties explaining some of the features observed in our solar system. Of particular note, it predicts that Mars should be as massive as Earth. In addition, it has difﬁculty in building the cores of the giant planets before the nebula disappeared. Here, I will argue that current models of planet formation are missing two important processes – planetesimal-driven migration and collisional grinding. I will present new simulations that include these processes. Preliminary results suggest a heretofore unknown and radical mechanism for building the outer planets.

Hoops still searching for leadership By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

To many, the Arizona men’s basketball team’s 59-57 loss to Oregon on Saturday could be looked at as a learning experience. The Wildcats are still in the thick of the Pac-12 Conference race despite a 3-2 conference record. The team put together one of its better halves of the year, outscoring the Ducks by 10 in the second and erasing a 17-point deficit. And, if it wasn’t already clear after last weekend’s split in Los Angeles against USC and UCLA, Arizona learned that every Pac-12 game will be a 40-minute dogfight. But Wildcat head coach Sean Miller doesn’t want to hear about learning experiences. “Those days of lessons learned — that was Seattle Pacific,” Miller said. “The freshmen right now aren’t freshmen. We’re in the middle of January. We’ve played 18 games. The older guys have been through the wars several times.” Arizona came out flat in the first half, scoring just 22 points and entering halftime with a 12-point deficit — it felt even larger — after having just 41 hours to prepare for the Ducks after

an overtime win on Thursday against Oregon State. “We weren’t ready to go,” Miller said of dealing with the short turnaround from a Thursday night game to Saturday afternoon’s game. But this type of schedule is something the Wildcats will see often in Pac-12 play. Arizona has fewer than 48 hours in between games in each of its six remaining Pac-12 weekends before playing ASU to close out the season on March 4. The Wildcats travel to Pac-12 newcomers Utah and Colorado this weekend before returning home to host the Washington schools, including a “white out” game against Washington, where ESPN’s College GameDay crew will be in attendance. Then Arizona hits the road to the Bay Area schools — a trip that’s likely the toughest in the conference this season. “I think anytime you play three games in a week it puts pressure on your team, but every team in our conference is going to have to deal with that,” Miller said. “We played an afternoon game here (Saturday) in front of a great crowd on national television — and we didn’t have it.” Miller said that Arizona’s halftime deficit was “a lot about our effort,” and that a lack of leadership is something

else the Wildcats need to overcome. Junior forward Solomon Hill did his part to erase questions about the Wildcats’ leadership, scoring 14 points during a seven-minute tear to open the second half. But despite the Wildcats’ lackluster performance against Oregon, Miller doesn’t see any reason to expect similar performances as the season grows older. “It’s not a season-long problem of effort,” Miller said. “It isn’t like we’ve not tried or haven’t played hard for 17 games, but I can clearly tell if our team doesn’t play hard and for 20 minutes, we didn’t. This is about getting the job done, and we didn’t get the job done.” Still, as one of Arizona’s most experienced players, Hill knows that one weekend or one game doesn’t define a team in this conference. The Wildcats sit just one game back in the loss column from the conference lead and have games remaining with three of the four teams ahead of them in the standings. “It sucks, I’m not gonna lie,” Hill said. “But we’ve gotta look at the bigger picture. We can possibly win the next two games and put ourselves in Colin Darland / Daily Wildcat a better situation … we just got to look Arizona head coach Sean Miller said the Wildcats didn’t give enough effort in the first half of a 59-57 loss to Oregon and that the team lacks in leadership. ahead now.”

Rodriguez picks W-Hoops faces tall task up first commits in swaying committee Big recruiting weekend fills two areas of need for Wildcats By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

Less than a week after Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez solidified his coaching staff, the firstyear coach is hot on the recruiting trail after pulling in three more verbal commitments following the UA’s biggest recruiting weekend of the offseason. Prosper (Texas) High School quarterback, Javelle Allen, Pittsburgh linebacker Dakota Conwell, and Temecula, Calif., linebacker C.J. Dozier have decided to join the Wildcat program after campus visits this past weekend. Allen will enter the Arizona program as starting quarterback Matt Scott’s immediate backup after former Arizona signal-callers Tom Savage and Daxx Garman announced their intentions to transfer in December. There are several candidates on Arizona’s roster to move to quarterback to provide depth. As a dual-threat quarterback, Allen should be a good fit in the fastpaced spread option offense that Rodriguez will employ. In his senior season at Prosper High School, Allen threw for 2,347 yards and 30 touchdowns while rushing for 1,539 yards and 22 touchdowns. Conwell enters the program as Rodriguez’s top-rated recruit since

taking over at Arizona. He had originally committed to Pitt last summer, but decided against it after head coach Todd Graham left to take the job at Arizona State. Dozier, who verbally committed on Sunday night, had originally committed to Dennis Erickson and ASU over the summer, but, like Conwell, changed his mind after Erickson was fired. At Chaparral High School, the 6-foot-1-inch, 210-pound starter managed to rack up 58 tackles his senior season. Conwell and Dozier are the second and third Arizona linebacker commits in less than two weeks. Brian Wagner, a former Akron linebacker, has already enrolled in graduate school at Arizona and will be allowed to play immediately due to an NCAA rule that states athletes who are pursuing a graduate degree not offered at their previous school will not have to sit out a season if they decide to transfer. Wagner comes to the Wildcat program fresh off as good a season as any linebacker in America, finishing the 2011 campaign as the nation’s second-best tackler, averaging 13.36 tackles per game for the Zips last year. Wagner also was named to the all-MAC conference first team at the end of the year. As of now the Wildcats have 15 players committed for the 2012 class, but look for Rodriguez to continue to push that number up before national signing day on Feb. 1.

Loss puts damper on hockey’s playoff hopes Weekend loss sets back ‘Cats with daunting schedule on the horizon By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

Arizona hockey’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread. The Wildcats’ 3-2 loss to Michigan State on Friday took what looked like a smooth road to the school’s first playoff berth since 2004 and turned it into one filled with potholes. “Every game after this becomes more critical,” said head coach Sean Hogan. Hogan was visibly furious after the loss, and while the team recovered Saturday with a 3-2 comeback victory, the loss to the Division II Spartans at home will be a black mark on Arizona’s resume come selection time. “I don’t think we played well really for any extended period of time all weekend,” Hogan said. “It was very frustrating to watch that.” Arizona is tied with West Chester

After a loss to Division II Michigan State, the Arizona hockey team’s playoff hopes are growing slim. The Wildcats face a rigorous schedule to finish the season.

University at No. 18 in the latest ACHA poll, but both teams are currently on the outside of the tournament looking in because of the seven automatic bids given to conference champions. The Wildcats, who are an independent, need to finish at No. 16 or higher when the rankings are released on

Feb. 17 if they want to clinch an elusive tournament bid. Arizona has last season’s champion in No. 13 Davenport coming to Tucson this weekend and a series with No. 3 Arizona State after that. The Wildcats’ strength of schedule will help their case if they can win those

games. Losing isn’t an option. “Everyone wants this national championship tournament and we are going to do it,” forward David Rizk said. Still, the team will have an uphill climb after its uninspired effort on Friday. What made the loss even more crushing is that the UA took a commanding lead early. Forward Scott Willson and defender Sean MacLachlan both scored within the first three minutes of the game, and the team has done a good job all season at maintaining leads. But the UA allowed the Spartans to score three unanswered goals — including two in the final 12 minutes of the third period. “I think everybody just came undone,” defender Shane Gleason said. “Everybody was really tired. We came out hard really fast at the beginning and I think everybody didn’t have too much left in the tank at the end.” The season seemed on the verge of complete disaster Saturday with the Wildcats down 2-1 with only ten minutes left in the third period. But

forward Andrew Murmes and captain Brian Slugocki salvaged the season — at least for now — with a pair of goals to win the game. Hogan said the lone bright spot of Friday’s game was sophomore goalkeeper Steven Sisler who played in place of junior David Herman, who was out with a concussion. “We do have a goalie battle on our hands,” Hogan said. “The kid has earned an opportunity to play, so we’ll what happens in the week of practice.” But because this is Hogan’s first season at the helm of a team coming off of dramatic changes during the offseason, it wouldn’t be a failure if the Wildcats again missed out on the national tournament. And while the weekend did bring about Hogan’s 100th career ACHA win, it still won’t be a weekend that the Arizona will want to remember. “With any sort of process, you are going to take a couple steps forward, a couple steps back,” Hogan said. “Hopefully we’ll be making more steps forward here in the next few weeks than steps back.”

ACCIDENT from page 1

mother were planning to meet Justin Contreras in Costa Rica two days after the crash, but managed to change and bump up their flight to see their son and brother in Nicaragua the following day. “The first thing I did was woke up Shannon, and we were both screaming and hyperventilating,” Diane Contreras said. “We thought that this couldn’t be happening and that we were having a nightmare.” Although doctors in Nicaragua were able to perform emergency surgery on his fractured femur, they said they didn’t have the means to monitor or evaluate his serious head injury like hospitals in the U.S. do. Justin Contreras needed to be flown back to Tucson for proper treatment, but was no longer covered by his insurance. As a result, his mother paid $36,000 out-of-pocket to release him from the hospital and needed to find another $50,000 to have him flown to the University of Arizona Medical Center, since her personal insurance refused to cover it. Diane Contreras said trying to find government or private agencies to help waive the travel cost was “exhausting,” and that none of them were willing to help. After contacting a doctor she knew at the medical center, she was put in touch with AeroCare, a medical transport service with bases in Arizona. “Other agencies promised, but they never gave dates or a real price,”

Diane Contreras said. Both his twin sister, a UA sophomore studying Latin American studies and political science, and his aunt in Chicago have set up a website to raise funds for Justin Contreras’ medical expenses in addition to keeping a journal of his recovery. So far, the family is raising significant funds for his expenses, according to his aunt, Jessica McCarthy. “It’s really a life-changing experience to see how people are just reaching out,” she said. “You read about people helping and sending money, but to see it in your own life … People have just been really, really kind.” McCarthy’s husband, the biological uncle of Justin Contreras, is a musician and hopes to put on a benefit concert for their nephew with other musicians. Shannon McCarthy-Contreras said that she hopes to put on a bowling fundraiser and a tennis tournament for her brother in the future. As far as her brother’s recovery, Shannon McCarthy-Contreras said that on Monday, he was “eating a lot of meals” and even got his feeding tube taken out, in addition to speaking full sentences. She said is hopeful that he will make a full recovery eventually. “We really want him to make it through and fully recover,” she said. “We’re coping.”

Holder vows to stick with Voting Rights Act Mcclatchy tribune

LOS ANGELES — U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Monday pledged to use the full force of the Justice Department to defend the Voting Rights Act, one of the keystones of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Speaking in Columbia, S.C., on the federal holiday honoring the birth of assassinated civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., Holder defended the goals of the Voting Rights Act. The law prohibited practices that prevented African-Americans from going to the polls, and it gave federal agencies new powers to ensure that voting was more accessible. It went into effect in 1965 and has been extended four times, most recently in 2006. “Protecting the right to vote, ensuring meaningful access, and combating discrimination must be viewed, not only as a legal issue, but as a moral imperative,” Holder said, according to prepared remarks distributed by the Justice Department. “And ensuring that every eligible citizen has the right to vote must become our common cause. “Let me assure you, for today’s Department of Justice, our commitment to strengthening — and to

fulfilling — our nation’s promise of equal opportunity and equal justice has never been stronger,” he said later. Holder spoke at a rally protesting South Carolina’s voter identification law, which the Justice Department has blocked, arguing that it violates the Voting Rights Act. He spoke just days before Saturday’s South Carolina GOP presidential primary. Perhaps no other piece of legislation that emerged from the civil rights battles of the 1960s and 1970s was as important as the Voting Rights Act. The law abolished the legal chains that prevented African-Americans from casting votes — and eventually winning political power — in a variety of jurisdictions in the South as well as other parts of the country. The measure has been a cornerstone as well in efforts by other groups, such as Latinos, to flex electoral muscles. The battle over greater accessibility to voting has been going on for centuries and becomes especially significant in presidential years like 2012. In general, Democrats have pushed for more access, reflecting their electoral strategy of registering

young people and minorities. Conservatives, in general, oppose broadening the vote, saying that it’s an unfair intrusion of the powers of the federal government. A smaller electorate also helps the GOP. “Despite our nation’s record of progress, and long tradition of extending voting rights,” Holder said, “today, a growing number of citizens are worried about the same disparities, divisions and problems that Dr. King fought throughout his life to address and overcome. In recent months, in my travels across this country and here in South Carolina, I’ve heard a consistent drumbeat of concern from citizens, who, often for the first time in their lives, now have reason to believe that we are failing to live up to one of our nation’s most noble ideals; and that some of the achievements that defined the civil rights movement now hang in the balance.” Holder said the Justice Department has opened more than 100 investigations in the last year of local actions that were deemed to have violated the Voting Rights Act. “We’ve also had significant success, without litigation, in encouraging voluntary improvements and compliance,” he said.

US, Pakistan collaborate on drone strikes Mcclatchy tribune

ISLAMABAD — Two apparent U.S. drone attacks last week on militant targets in Pakistani tribal areas bordering Afghanistan very likely signal the resumption of joint counterintelligence operations by the CIA and Pakistan’s military spy agency, security analysts here said Monday. The reported strikes would be the first in Pakistan since U.S.-led NATO forces killed 25 Pakistani soldiers in a “friendly fire” incident on the border in November, which drove relations between Washington and Islamabad to a new low. News reports over the weekend quoted anonymous Pakistani military officials as saying that radio chatter among militants suggested that the

chief of the Pakistani Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, was among four insurgents who were killed Thursday in the second of the drone strikes in the North Waziristan tribal area. A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban denied Mehsud’s death, however, saying he wasn’t in the area at the time. Members of rival militant factions told McClatchy Newspapers that they’d received no news of his death. “The signs are that the U.S. has revisited intelligence cooperation with Pakistan, and the two sides have returned to the early stages, when drone attacks were initiated under a covert joint mandate,” said Simbal Khan, the director of research at the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad, a

research center funded by Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry. In the first of the strikes, last Tuesday, four al-Qaida fighters from the gas-rich central Asian republic of Turkmenistan were killed, analysts said. But the drones didn’t target the Haqqani network, an Afghan Taliban faction that draws hundreds of fighters from Hafiz Gul Bahadur, the top militant commander in North Waziristan. Security analysts said the selective targeting suggested that Pakistani security authorities had sanctioned the strikes, despite a Foreign Ministry statement Thursday that drone intrusions into Pakistan’s airspace “cannot be condoned.”

“This would mean the end of capricious unilateral targeting by the CIA, and a more considered HVT list” — high-value target — “agreed on by both sides,” Khan said. The analysts said Pakistan’s response to the drone strikes was canned rather than angry. The attacks weren’t mentioned in a statement that was issued after the Pakistani government’s national security team met Saturday, suggesting that Pakistani officials had prior knowledge of the strikes. “Had the strikes happened out of the blue, a much stronger response would have been forthcoming from Pakistan, particularly from the military,” Khan said. The tensions with the United States

are far from resolved, however. The Pakistani national security team issued the government’s first official response to a Pentagon investigation into the border incident, rejecting — as the military did three weeks ago — the U.S. conclusions that Pakistani troops had fired first and that their deaths were the result of poor coordination between military authorities on both sides. The White House has said no apology is forthcoming, though the Pentagon has expressed “deep regret” at the Pakistani troop losses. Obama has said the U.S. would take similar action if it received actionable intelligence on the whereabouts of the new al-Qaida chief, Ayman alZawahri.

Q How many people die from smoking weed (illegal) vs. drinking alcohol (legal)?

A. causes than those associated with marijuana. Alcohol,

As you might expect, far more people die from alcohol-related

however, is also more widely used, as well as being legal for individuals 21 and over. Marijuana, while still an illicit drug under federal law, has been legalized for medicinal purposes by 16 states, including Arizona, in 2010. Finding a concrete number for annual deaths linked to cannabis is difficult. This is likely due to two factors: 1) Marijuana use, by itself, is not a significant cause of death, and 2) Research on the topic is lacking and not widely reported. As advocates for its legalization often cite, deaths attributable to marijuana are uncommon, and overdoses are either extremely rare or nonexistent due to its low toxicity, compared to alcohol. Alcohol-related deaths, on the other hand, are very well documented as a leading cause of death among an otherwise relatively healthy 18-25 year old age range, including college students. Each year, it’s estimated that alcohol will be responsible for around 79,000 deaths in the United States alone, which take the form of alcohol poisoning, liver disease, cirrhosis, accidents/injuries, homicide, suicide, and motor vehicle fatalities, among others. There are, of course, other consequences to consider when it comes to marijuana, alcohol or any other drug. While marijuana is not the diabolical drug portrayed in Reefer Madness propaganda, it can still make you anxious, affect your memory and motor skills, and drain your motivation. And whatever your views on legalization, a drug possession charge can make the difference between your dream job and another line of work, or affect your chances of receiving financial aid and going on to grad school. The take home message? Alcohol and marijuana are different drugs that pose different risks, but there are things they share: their impact on health is influenced by how they are used, how often, and by whom.

What do oats, lettuce, rice, and cannabis have in common? All share the Latin species name “sativa,” meaning “useful.”
