President Barack Obama discussed how he wants America to move forward through the coming years, focusing on taxes, the outsourcing of jobs and the importance of higher education during his State of the Union address on Tuesday. Obama said that states need to emphasize funding for higher education in their budgets, and cannot expect continued increases in subsidies from the federal government to stymie cuts. He also said that colleges need to focus on ways to make attendance more affordable, be it through redesigned coursework that favors speedy progress through the college ranks, better use of technology, or other factors. He also hinted that consequences may be in store for institutions that prove resistant to change. “So let me put colleges and universities

on notice,” Obama said. “If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down.” Obama also said the Legislature should prevent interest rates on student loans from doubling come summer, during a time when most Americans owe more in tuition loans than in credit card debt. “Higher education can’t be a luxury — it’s an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford,” Obama said. Obama emphasized that, because the economy is still in a bad state, jobs need to be created for Americans who became unemployed due to the recession, and reminded viewers that after the failure of the economy in 2008, nearly 4 million Americans lost their jobs within the first six months. Obama declared that the government should no longer bail out big companies for making risky investments with their customers’ money, and blamed the corporations for the economic crash. Obama added

that the government should instead bail out and help the people who need a bailout the most — members of the middle class. “We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” Obama said, “or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules.” He said those who make more than $1 million a year should not only pay 30 percent of taxes, but even more. Obama then proposed that the United States raise taxes for the wealthy, and offer tax cuts to average, working-class Americans. In addition to these cuts, he proposed that small businesses should be given the same sort of tax break because they create local jobs. He added that the U.S. government

Students volunteer to train service dogs By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT

COLIN DARLAND / DAILY WILDCAT

Student trainer Morina Piece, a veterinary science junior, has trained Jenai, a 16-month-old Laborador for one year through Paws for the Cause.

Three UA students are committed to changing the lives of disabled persons by providing them with a social, wellmannered and friendly guide dog. Chelsea Reaves, Morina Pierce and Max Gluck, all veterinary science juniors, each decided to spend a year raising and training a puppy to be used as a service dog to assist someone with a disability. Gluck joined Paws for the Cause, a local offshoot of Guide Dogs for the Blind, after watching Reaves raise Roma, a female yellow Laborador. He soon afterward began raising Pecifica, a 9-month-old black female Labrador. Pierce has been raising Jenai, a 16-month-old female black Labrador, for almost a year now. Jenai is a survivor of canine parvovirus, a contagious viral disease, and she is now ready to go in for her last evaluation this Saturday with Roma. To qualify as trainers, the students began by going to meetings for Paws for the Cause. Trainers first receive

their dogs when they are about 8 weeks old. At this age, the puppies have no house manners. Puppies are not allowed out of the house until they have had all of their shots and can show decent behavior. At 17 weeks of age, the puppy gets a vest that allows them to go into public buildings. Once the dog has its vest, it starts out with very short social outings. Roma’s first social outing was to a discussion class. After the first outing, trainers build up to a full day of classes, Reaves said. “I first started her (Jenai) out by taking her into a gas station, and then I worked her up into going to class with me,” Pierce said. Reaves and Pierce said the main responsibility is to train the dog in obedience and socialization. The dogs are taught to socialize with everything and not to react to the many stimuli around them. Throughout the training process, they are taught how to properly behave in elevators, walk on

The UA’s Water Resources Research Center held its annual conference on Tuesday to discuss the present and future state of Arizona’s water issues. The all-day conference held in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom addressed how to more effectively use the water coming into Arizona. Speakers at the event included Grady Gammage Jr., Arizona State University’s senior research fellow at the Morrison Institute for Public Policy; Michael Lacey, deputy director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources; and David Rousseau, board president of the Salt River Project. Gammage said the main issues discussed at the conference regarded the choices people make with the water they already have, how not to continue population growth with the little water they receive and more long-term plans for what to do with their water over the next 40 to 100 years. Joseph Garcia, director of communications at ASU’s Morrison Institute for Public Policy, said the issue right now is not if we have enough water, but where the water we already have is going. He said about 70 percent of water in Arizona goes to agriculture. The rest of it goes to industries and mining, recreational urbanization or landscape use. What Arizona needs now is the foresight and the initiative to do what the producers of the Central Arizona Project did when the project was first initialized, he said. “We are not running out of water,” Gammage said, “but we can’t do everything forever. We can’t support continued population growth, and also support agriculture, and also support the environment.” Arizona is allotted about 2.8 million acre feet per year from the Colorado River. Because Arizona doesn’t currently use all of its allotted water, it ends up just being dumped back into the environment, Gammage said. “It depends on what ‘use’ means. If you believe that leaving water in the natural environment is a use, which lots of people don’t, then we are using it all even though some is left in the natural environment.” According to Gammage’s report, the population over the next 40 years will grow by 25 million or more, leading to an increase in water demand to about 5 million acre feet of water per year.

UMC’s chest Prof studies cervical cancer pain center accredited By Stephanie Zawada Daily Wildcat

By Rachel Gottfried Daily Wildcat

The Society of Chest Pain Centers has named the University of Arizona Medical Center a nationally accredited chest pain center. In order to receive this accreditation, which is awarded to medical facilities that exhibit expertise in dealing with heart attack patients, the center had to pass a rigorous application process that was based on the center’s ability to assess, diagnose and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack. “It was a team effort with nurse clinicians, hospitalists, cardiologists, all of our technicians in the cardiac cath lab and the non-invasive cardiac lab, radiology technicians, the ER staff and nurses,” said Dr. Joseph Alpert, a cardiologist and professor of medicine at the UA College of Medicine, in a press release last week. The center was specifically accredited as a “chest pain center with PCI.” PCI, short for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, is a procedure more commonly known as angioplasty. This procedure is used to treat the narrowed coronary arteries of the heart that occur with coronary

heart disease. Sharon Gregoire, a family and acute care nurse practitioner at the medical center, led the accreditation process. In the press release, Gregoire said, “The cardiac service here has been committed for many years to being a comprehensive program, and for us this was a formalization and standardization of processes that were already in place.” About 5 percent of the approximately 70,000 patients that the center sees in its emergency department every year are there because they are experiencing chest pain. Gregoire emphasized that early attention to chest pain can be critical to saving lives. “Early recognition of heart attack and early treatment saves lives,” Gregoire said in the release.

Sierra OBGYN Board Certified Physician Personalized Service with over 25 years experience

Roughly 500,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year worldwide. China accounts for about a fifth of those cases. One UA professor is at the forefront of a group of international physicians working to promote preventative screening and early detection of gynecological cancers for Chinese women. Dr. Kenneth Hatch, a professor in the UA College of Medicine’s Obstetrics and Gynecology department and the division director of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, began his career in obstetrics in 1971, after being drafted into military service. After serving his time at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Hatch said he knew that gynecological cancer surgery was his calling, and he began work in rural African-American communities in Alabama. During his time there, Hatch promoted screening and early detection, two practices which would become a mission statement for his work. By the time he left in 1990 for the UA, the number of local cancer cases had decreased from 1,000 to 300. At the UA, Hatch continued to rise as an expert in gynecologic surgery, and he and his colleagues became the first surgeons in the United States to operate on a patient with gynecologic cancer using

laparoscopic surgery in 1991. Hatch began his annual travels to China in 2005 with former UA faculty member Changping Zou, setting into motion what would become the hallmark of his journeys to China: teaching laparoscopic surgical techniques by performing and overseeing surgeries as well as lecturing. Hatch hopes to see his training program “disseminate skills quicker in China.” Hatch hasn’t only been involved in revolutionizing medical education in China — he is also a publishing pioneer. The publication of his book, “Hatch’s Innovations in Gynecological Laparoscopic Surgery,” was the first of its kind in China. Hatch designed his book to include pictures with text in English and Chinese side-by-side to promote English literacy among Chinese physicians. With more and more Chinese physicians learning English, Hatch’s personal interactions with and lectures for these doctors have become more effective and efficient. Higher Education Press now uses Hatch’s image and text format as its standard for designing medical education textbooks. Hatch’s book has also been converted to e-book format. “China controls the press,” Hatch said. “All medical school books in China are published by Higher Education Press and the circulation of educational

materials regarding cancer is restricted to professionals only.” Hatch teaches physicians minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery procedures during his trips to China and when Chinese doctors visit the UA. He also uploads videos of such surgeries online or burns them to DVDs. “They really like that part of it,” he said. The challenges faced by the United States as far as surgery goes have been essentially elimiated, but China needs 20 more years to reach the same point, Hatch said. A lack of funding by the government forces Chinese hospitals to find the money to pay for their own surgical instruments, so Hatch collects cutting-edge surgical equipment in the United States, then brings the instruments to China. While laparoscopic robotic surgery machines are common in the United States, China has only three. Laparoscopic robotic surgery machines increase a physician’s accuracy and precision and reduce hospital stays to as little as one day. But according to Hatch, early detection and prevention play the biggest role in reducing the number of cervical cancer cases. “The only things that can make an impact are screening programs and HPV vaccination.”

Wireless printing comes to UA By Brittny Mejia Daily Wildcat

UA students no longer have to rush to the library to print last-minute assignments. With the swipe of a CatCard, students can print wirelessly from nine different campus locations, including the Student Union Memorial Center and Park Student Union. Any UA community member with a NetID and password can upload their documents, then print from a Wireless Everywhere Print Everywhere printer, also known as WEPA. “The thing we want to get across to our users is that it’s simple and it’s extremely convenient,” said Jenna Flanagan, marketing director for WEPA. Although the wireless printers only hit campus on Tuesday, some students said they have already noticed the convenience. Angela Kristof, a senior studying family studies and human development, rushed to print a document around 10:30 a.m.

in order to make her 11 a.m. class across campus. Her document printed in seconds, she said. “You never have to go the library again. If you download our print driver you never have to email your paper to yourself again,” Flanagan said. “Our units also can print from USB, so you’re able to walk right up to the unit with your USB drive and print your document.” Students and faculty do not need to register in order to use the wireless printers because they automatically have an account through their NetID and password. All they have to do is download a print driver for their Mac or PC computer, which will allow them to print straight to the Wireless Everywhere Print Anywhere “cloud” printer from any location. For students who procrastinate, these wireless printers will allow them to quickly print an assignment before heading to class. “I don’t think it will take that much time because it’ll just be on your computer so you can print it out wherever,

whenever,” said Hannah Bachelder, a sophomore studying family studies and human development. “I think it would be beneficial to a lot of people who schedule things last-minute.” Once a student sends a document to the printer, it will stay in the printer’s queue for 24 hours. The student can then retrieve it from any of the WEPA printers around campus. The cost to print a black and white document is 10 cents a page and $1 for a high definition color page. Customers can pay either with CatCash loaded onto their CatCard, or with a credit or debit card, which comes with a transaction fee. “It’s more convenient for me because I can pay with my credit card. I couldn’t use one in (Fast Copy),” said physiology freshman Melissa Gordon. Fast Copy will continue to print documents as well, but as of now, it is working with WEPA to try and get the word out about the wireless printers. “With WEPA, you don’t have to have people behind the counter that are waiting on you. You don’t have to wait in the long lines because, hopefully, this will disperse the amount of printing to a bunch of different areas,” said Meghan McDavid, a customer service employee at Fast Copy. “So the wait time is going to be shorter and you will be able to print from your own computer.” WEPA representatives will be on campus until Thursday showing interested customers how to use the wireless printers. “I remember when I was a student and if my printer wasn’t working or the library printers were down, I wouldn’t have an option,” Flanagan said. “Well, WEPA gives you nine options to print here on campus and nine different places.”

The show a few months ago at the Fox Theatre seemed to brighten people up quite a bit. There are many Tejano bands out there. What I wanted to do is make it a little different. A typical band will just have that attitude of, “Oh, we have a gig tonight. OK, how much do we get paid?” and just not be very enthused. I tell my musicians this: I want people to raise their eyebrows, I want them to stand up and start to want to dance. We want to entertain them, not just provide dancing music, get paid and go home. We want to leave a good message. That way, they come back to our show. So we pick a lot of different

“A man’s subliminal hand gestures denote how into you he really is — making the OK sign, giving a thumbs up, or flashing the I-love-you sign.” Listen, girls, we’re not baseball catchers. We’re not signaling to you how we feel. Maybe I keep my thumb up on my glass when at the bar, but I also may keep my middle finger out as well. If you’re really reading this hard into a guy’s body gestures, you should seek out a career in criminal interrogation. Otherwise, gauge how he feels by listening to what he says — that’s what normal people do. If the conversation is going right, you should be able to pick up on his speech patterns and vernacular as indicators that he’s into you.

• Tights worn as pants scream trashy. The other day while at Brooklyn Pizza Company on Fourth Avenue, I came across a woman wearing tights with a T-shirt and sweater. I saw so much of her undergarments that I recognized the Victoria’s Secret logo. Not cute. • Wearing a lace top with nothing but a bra underneath makes girls seem like they are asking for it. Sorry to be so blunt. If you want men to respect you, put something on underneath it. • Makeup that makes you look like the star student in Clowning 101 class is not classy. Do you match your eye shadow to your shirts? Is your lipgloss the same shade of pink as a Starburst? Then it is time to toss the over-the-top glitter and tone it down. • Imitating Flavor Flav with your disgustingly large, fake gold chain is not classy. Does your chain hang low? Does it wobble to and fro? If you answered yes, then it is time to downsize.

In the summer, they can add a touch of color or pattern to an outfit. • Wearing a lace top with a burgundy tank top underneath can add color and a soft touch to an outfit. This, worn with jeans and a pair of nude heels, can dress up a casual outfit. • Natural-looking makeup that brings out your features adds class to a look. Natural eye shadow, a hint of pink or red on your lips and full lashes add flair without taking away from your natural beauty. • Wearing a simple pearl or a beaded necklace to accessorize an outfit shows that you care about your looks and that you like fashion. Simple accessories, with an occasional chunky necklace mixed in, signal that you’re a fashionista.

Chess: A game of skill, balance, simplicity Jason Krell Daily Wildcat

ore people should play chess. Contrary to social stigma, it’s not just for nerdy kids in elementary school who can’t play sports. That’s as ridiculous a notion as any other stereotype. Though its form may have changed over the last 1,500 years, chess is one of the oldest games still actively played — and it’s survived this long for a reason.

The game of chess has a fantastic balance of complexity and simplicity. Yes, many lament the fact that chess is hard to play. That’s half true. It’s more accurate to say chess is relatively simple to play, it’s just hard to master. As for picking up the basics, it’s as easy as learning how the pieces move. Some go forward, some move diagonal, some move in an “L” shape, and some can go in any

direction. That’s all a player needs to know to understand the basics. Of course, knowing only that won’t help you win right away, but that’s the beauty of it. Like any good game, chess teaches its players through experience. If a player sits down and thinks throughout the game, he or she will get better without any instruction. Unfortunately, for some reason, thinking tends to be the caveat to many gamers today. To be fair, school can be a strain, and a lot of people just want to turn their brains off in times of leisure. That’s a problem though, and it’s hurting us as a generation. Instead of shutting off our brains outside of school, people would be better served

to find games that engage their minds, like chess. And don’t forget the versatility of chess. Even though each side has only 16 pieces, the different uses of said pieces are plentiful. There are aggressive and passive strategies but also much more nuanced ones, which take years to learn. Chess can be exciting game after game because there are so many possibilities, and no two games of chess are remotely the same. As a final reason to play, chess is also available almost anywhere, and in many forms to boot. For example, a basic chess set can run you around $5, with travel sized sets for even less. Most smartphones offer virtual chess

as a free app, and anyone with a computer probably already has it pre-loaded under the games section. There is a multitude of other reasons why chess is a worthwhile and enjoyable way to spend your time, but what it boils down to is this: Chess is a classic game with a deep, rich history and it has served as a blueprint for many of the games played today. As a thanks to everything chess has done for gaming, give it a shot sometime soon and see how much fun you have. You might be surprised. — Jason Krell is the assistant copy chief.

Nerds deserve more praise

Dan Desrochers Daily Wildcat

ast fall, we watched as the Occupy movement protested major corporations making a disproportionate amount of money in comparison to everyday people. In the meantime, athletes and entertainers alike were making just as much money as CEOs and getting little attention from protesters. Some extremely popular entertainers even had the gall to back the movement. The blatant apathy toward the entertainment industry’s disproportionate wealth could be blamed on the desire for a distraction from the harsh realities of life, yet it seems unjust for protesters to villainize the leaders of large multimilliondollar companies while still tuning in to the most recent episode of “Jersey Shore” after the march on Wall Street. Our desire for entertainment has such a strong hold on America that few people bat an eye at the fact that Tim Tebow, Snooki and Kim Kardashian earn more than the president of the United States. Since when has making a fourth-quarter completion, or making a fool of oneself on television, merited a bigger paycheck than preventing a nuclear war? This treatment of privileged entertainers has also trickled down to the collegiate system. On campus the athletes receive special privileges like priority registration, two academic advisers and tutoring. Granted, because few are blessed with the ability to perform as a Division I athlete, many athletes deserve the aid that they get. However, these special privileges then cause some parents to put pressure on their children to perform well in sports for the coveted scholarship or increased likelihood of acceptance. Very few parents look at their newborn son and declare that he will be the next Arthur Schopenhauer, and even fewer kids grow up wanting to be a nerd. We have created a negative aura around intellectuals in youth communities, instead favoring promising athletes. The chances of the superstar little leaguer becoming a multimillion-dollarearning professional athlete is much smaller than that same kid becoming a successful scientist. While the prospect of a child having a rare talent seems more appealing than a child holding a steady job and being a contributing member of society, we cannot ignore that those contributing members move the world forward. While the balance between exercise and academics is important to our obese society, if our children were judged more on their intellectual curiosity than their ability to kick a ball perhaps, there would be fewer problems in our country. It may be thrilling to watch Nick Johnson shoot a gamewinning 3-pointer and it may make you cry when you hear Adele sing about her guy troubles, but are the jobs of athletes and singers really more important than those of scientists or politicians? When we are able to use the word “nerd” with pride, when more people know Stephen Hawking than Steven Tyler, when children want to actually be smart when they are older, that’s when we know we are on the right track for this country. We’re not there yet. — Dan Desrochers is a chemistry freshman. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @WildcatOpinions.

Research shows safe tanning myth should be put to bed think that’s where the danger is.” Experts at the Food and Drug Adminstration have said that any tan is a sign of skin damage. In July 2009, the International Agency for Research on Cancer Rebecca Miller reported that indoor tanning is more dangerous than scientists previously Daily Wildcat thought. The organization moved these devices into the highest cancer into an addiction.

Child obesity can’t be ignored Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

few months ago, I overheard a mother and daughter in a local movie theater bathroom. The young girl was being teased at school about her weight. Her mother replied, “Stop talking about that; you’re just bigger for your age. You have a bigger build.” It only took a quick glance to see that both the girl and her mother were considerably overweight. This poignant conversation fueled by denial and a disregard of reality is one of the many reasons why our country is still losing the obesity battle. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 33 percent of Americans are obese, and approximately 17 percent (12.5 million) of children and adolescents from 2 to 19 years old are also obese.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

These unsettling statistics, along with the millions of parents who refuse to confront the problem, inspired Georgia’s new controversial childhood obesity campaign. Behind Mississippi, Georgia is the second leading state in childhood obesity, according to the Strong 4 Life website. The Strong 4 Life agency and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta partnered to create a series of commercials featuring obese children having similar conversations with their parents. The children have diabetes, hypertension and other disorders and are struggling to deal at such a young age. These advertisements are just what the doctor ordered. America needs a good slap in the face. Unfortunately, this campaign has been met with contention, as critics

argue that the commercials go too far. People claim the ads will give children the wrong idea, planting the seeds for disordered thoughts that can grow into eating disorders. But this was happening even before the campaign. America’s constant hype over the perfect body and its perpetual use of pubescent-boy-sized female models to convey “beauty” are only a couple of the reasons why children develop distorted body images. But this Georgia campaign isn’t about superficiality, it’s about health. And if the parents of obese children think the former, not the latter, then they’re just facilitating the growth of their children’s future health problems like hypertension and diabetes. Feb. 1 is the start of American Heart Month. It’s not just another awareness month, this one has substance and should be taken seriously. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, according to a study conducted last year by the CDC. The Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research lists high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity all as risk factors

for cardiovascular disease. While the facts can be difficult to digest, it doesn’t mean they should be ignored. The childhood obesity campaign is only trying to bring the problem to the forefront of America’s attention. A lot of this is already established news, but millions of Americans still haven’t taken it to heart. We can use American Heart Month and this campaign as reminders that perpetual bad habits will lead to an unhealthy body and worse, an early death. Indifference for the food and drink you consume, like alcohol and late-night pizza binges, will add up. Couple that with a lack of exercise and you’re laying the foundation for clogged arteries. If 8-year-olds are being diagnosed with hypertension and diabetes, then we are susceptible too. In the words of Strong 4 Life, we need to stop sugarcoating the problem. — Kelly Hultgren is a junior studying journalism and communication.

Police Beat By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Sick to her stomach

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling campus on Monday at 1:40 a.m. when he noticed two female students behind Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. He approached the women when he realized that one of them was vomiting. He asked both of them for their driver’s licenses and if they had been drinking. They said yes but that they did not know where. He asked the women where they were headed, and they said they were residents of Arizona-Sonora. The woman who was vomiting decided not to answer any questions — the officer believed that she was not coherent enough. Both students had a smell of alcohol on their breath and red eyes. The student who wasn’t throwing up was able to go home by herself, but the student throwing up could not. The student and the officer helped the sick student to her room. The other woman told the police officer that she would stay the night with the sick student, and would call 911 if she became sick again. The vomiting student was cited for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Too drunk to know what’s up

A UA student was hospitalized for heavy intoxication on Monday at 2:21 a.m. A UAPD officer found four men at Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall supporting one of their friends. The man could not walk, talk, open his eyes for longer than five seconds or perform any sobriety tests. The UAPD officer called for medical services to further assist the student to the University of Arizona Medical Center. One of the student’s friends rode with him to the hospital. The friend said they went to a party at the NorthPointe Student Apartments and rode home in a taxi. The friend said they noticed the student was drinking a lot of beer, but did not pay attention to how much. The officer tried to speak to the student after he was released from the hospital. The officer spoke to the student and asked him what he remembered, and the student replied, “I don’t remember anything, the last thing I remember is going to NorthPointe and drinking beer.” The officer cited him for minor in possession of alcohol in body, then gave him a ride back to his dorm.

Arizona Stadium break-in gone wrong

A UAPD officer was driving down Highland Avenue on Sunday at 3:15 p.m. when he saw three male students carrying a fire extinguisher, two construction hats and a reflective vest. The officer immediately stopped and approached students. When they saw the officer, they dropped everything and ran away. The officer caught up to the student carrying the fire extinguisher and immediately arrested him. The officer called for backup while he continued to search for the other students. The officer went to the cuffed student’s room, where his roommate gave the officer the names of the two other students and what room they were in. The officer then went to the room and the two students answered the door, both in boxers. Both had the smell of alcohol on their breath. The officer also smelled marijuana in the air. The officer asked to step in and saw a bong on the students’ table. The officer asked if the two students had marijuana located in the room and if they had anything to drink. They replied, “We do not have weed in the room but we have the bong there, and yes, we have had some to drink.” The students were arrested and taken back to the original site where the officer had cuffed the third student. The students said they drank, then got bored and decided to walk around. They then noticed a construction site next to Arizona Stadium and decided to break in. They said they took a fire extinguisher and two construction hats, but no one admitted to taking the vests. The students were taken to Pima County Jail, where they were cited for third-degree burglary and possession of drug paraphernalia. All three students were required to meet with the Dean of Students Office. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Ansel Adams: The View from Here Perhaps no photographer’s work has enjoyed such popularity as Ansel Adams’s awe-inspiring views of the natural world. His early trips to the Yosemite wilderness in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s informed the stylistic approach that made him famous. These treks included not only the physical activities of hiking, camping, and mountain climbing, but also social, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual elements. With forty photographs and supporting documents from the Ansel Adams Archive, Ansel Adams: The View from Here explores the relationship between Adams’s magical photographs of the American landscape both its panoramic vistas and its intimate details - and how he came to understand the importance of his natural environment. Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, Saturday & Sunday, 1pm – 4pm through March 4th at The Center for Creative Photography: 1030 North Olive Road. “Mapping Arizona: From Mexican Territory to U.S. State” (exhibit) This is new exhibit on display in the UA Main Library from Jan. 6 – March 28, 2012, details the path Arizona took to become a state – ﬁrst as part of the Territory of New Mexico, then as the Territory of Arizona, ﬁnally attaining statehood in 1912. In addition to an array of historical maps, “Mapping Arizona” also includes books and unique documents selected from Special Collections extensive holdings. These additional materials offer insight into the stories that accompany the lines, boundaries, and borders within the maps. UA Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd.

Parrom to get bigger role as hoops hosts WSU, UW Junior forward feeling ‘98 percent’ after slow start to season, shooting injuries By Nicole Dimitsios Daily Wildcat

Freshman guard Josiah Turner will be Arizona’s first option when the Wildcats need a late-game basket.

Turner now UA’s No. 1 option in tight games By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

What a difference a month and a half can make. On Dec. 7, 2011, Josiah Turner sat in Tucson as his team lost an overtime heartbreaker to then-No. 12 Florida in Gainesville, Fla. Turner had just been suspended for violations of team policy and his future with the program was murky. Fast-forward 50 days and the UA’s

five-star point guard is now the leading candidate to become Arizona’s go-to guy in crunch time, said UA head coach Sean Miller. “It’s tough to give the ball to a freshman in that situation, but he can get fouled, he can beat his man and also he can make the pass,” Miller said of Turner at his Tuesday press conference. “Although he’s not as good of a 3-point shooter as a couple of the other guys, that may be our best bet moving forward.” The Wildcats need a late-game scorer

in the worst way, as evident by their 6463 loss to Colorado. After rebounding a CU miss with 30 seconds remaining, Arizona settled for a 3-pointer from Kevin Parrom at the buzzer and once again missed Derrick Williams’ ability to throw on his Superman cape and save the day. With the loss, Arizona moved to 0-3 this season in games decided by four points or less — last season the Wildcats

go-to, 10

Last week, it was head men’s basketball coach Sean Miller’s belief that a redshirt would have served forward Kevin Parrom on his road to recovery from a traumatic couple of months. But it turns out Parrom needed the exact opposite. “I didn’t want to sit the whole year thinking about what happened,” Parrom said. “In order to recover, I had to recover mentally. In order to recover mentally, I had to play basketball. I had to play in order to become what I am now.” There is a distinct difference between Parrom’s play when the Wildcats began the season and the Parrom that has emerged in the last two weeks. The junior said he’s worked to get the strength back in his legs for the Wildcats’ last few games. On Arizona’s last trip to Utah and Colorado, Parrom produced much more than he has all season, finishing with 12 points and four rebounds against the Utes in 19 minutes and six points and five rebounds against the

Buffaloes in 22 minutes. Along with Parrom’s games against Ball State and Florida, Miller said it was the best he’s seen out of the junior all season. “If you look at how he played in those four games, how he impacted those four games, he’s almost like a starter,” Miller said. Parrom’s minutes were much closer to his sophomore year average of 20 minutes per game over the weekend. Miller said the increase in playing time is something that will continue this weekend, with Arizona hosting the Washington schools and desperately needing a sweep at home. “We’re going to give him a bigger role and a bigger opportunity and hopefully he can build on what he did in this latest trip,” Miller said. The forward’s 12 points against Utah marked his first game with double figures since Dec. 22, when he had 11 points in Arizona’s win over Bryant University. When forward Solomon Hill fouled out, Parrom stepped up and filled the void for the Wildcats. That, Miller

Baseball named preseason No. 5 By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat Things are already looking bright for the Arizona baseball team and it hasn’t even recorded an out yet. After a solid 2011 campaign and ushering in a skilled freshmen class, the Wildcats are ranked No. 5 in the nation, according to Baseball America’s preseason poll released yesterday. The Wildcats are one of two Pac12 Conference teams ranked in the top five. Stanford was named the No. 2 club in the country. The Wildcats bring 18 players back from the 2011 squad that finished one game short of the College Station Regional Championship at Texas A&M last June. For Arizona head coach Andy Lopez, the ranking will not be used as a motivational point for his team. “To be real honest, I probably (won’t mention it), only from the standpoint that I don’t really want to focus on that,” Lopez said. “Again, I think it’s great for the program and I think it’s great for the alumni, and it’s great for these guys. They go to bed at night, and somebody thinks they’re top five in the nation, I think that’s a special thing.” Lopez said he wants to make sure that the ranking doesn’t get to players’

will do in the last few weeks of intrasquads.” For junior pitcher and two-time All-Pac-10 honoree Kurt Heyer, this season marks his third go-around as an Arizona starter. “He’s probably worked harder this year than he has in the previous two years,” Lopez said.

Lopez has noticed that his players have a little extra bounce in their step since the move to Hi Corbett Field, where the Wildcats will play all 35 home games this season. The park has played host to both the Colorado Rockies’ and Cleveland Indians’ spring training in the past and features a full clubhouse — something that the Wildcats didn’t have at Sancet Stadium. “It’s a real baseball-type atmosphere,” Lopez said. “It’s a great setting, it’s a great facility.” Lopez said his players’ enthusiasm is evident with drills and exercises, especially with the daily 2:30 p.m. stretching. “We have not stretched at 2:30 in seven days,” Lopez said. “They’re literally standing out here at 2:15, ready to get going.”

Highly sought-after freshman joins tennis Romanian teenager becomes Arizona’s sixth international player By Iman Hamdan Daily Wildcat

bove the bank of the Danube River, tourists and locals flock to a park called Public Garden in Braila, Romania, which overlooks the port and the Macin Mountains. Sebastian Ionescu left all of it behind for one reason: to play tennis at Arizona. Ionescu is no rookie to the world of tennis. Standing 5-foot-6 and weighing 125 pounds, the freshman has been on the courts for the past 12 years, playing for a Romanian club team called Venus. “I remember my first national tournament as if it were yesterday,” Ionescu said. “I was 9 years old and I won the first match six love, six love, but I lost the second one and just started crying.” With the support of his mother, Ionescu took the loss and channeled his athletic talent into his first national

championship win in Romania at 10 years old in singles play. He added four additional singles play championship wins to his record at ages 12, 14, 16 and 18. “Winning these championships was my biggest accomplishment because it was the largest tournament in the country,” said Ionescu, who added the he also enjoys playing handball and won back-to-back MVP titles in Braila for the sport in 2010 and 2011. The combination of determination and his love for playing doubles earned him four national championship titles, including three mixed doubles national championships. Other titles Ionescu has won include best player in his age group in Romania from 2002-2010 and MVP in other Romanian tournaments. He was also named an honorable mention 20102011 and a member of the official Romanian team by the Romanian Tennis Federation. After countless offers from universities including Oklahoma, San Diego, St. John’s, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Buffalo, Ionsecu knew

Arizona was the best choice. “One of my good friends knows (head coach Tad Berkowitz) and how the tennis program is here,” Ionescu said. “He said the program and coaches were good and the university has a good reputation.” Ionescu has only been playing at Arizona for a week, but he has already demonstrated that he “has wonderful work ethic and is very eager to play and learn,” assistant coach Tom Lloyd said. “This work ethic and attitude is what we are excited for as an addition to our young team.” Outside of athletics, Ionescu said he enjoys watching movies and listening to hip-hop and rap, and that two of his favorite artists are Eminem and Dr. Dre. He has not declared his major yet, but said he looks forward to enjoying his time as a Wildcat. “When I was recruiting Sebastian I heard nothing but good things about his game and personality,” Berkowitz said. “He is a good competitor and comes to court with discipline and focus. He also has a genuine appreciation of everything in his life.”

campus and not react to other dogs. It is important that each dog learns social behavior and obedience so that when they are guiding a blind person, the dog does not put the blind person in danger, Reaves said. The dogs are taught general commands such as “sit down,” “stay,” “wait,” “go to sleep,” “go do your business” and “let’s go.” They are taught to sit in class for hours without creating any distractions. Through these training commands, the dogs learn to be very responsive. “You can’t just expect to get a dog and walk with it everywhere. You have to train it to do everything, but it has become easier now,” Reaves said. “(Roma) is so welltrained that I don’t have to put as much effort into it.” According to Pierce, the two most important things dogs must know are intelligent disobedience and re-command. Intelligent disobedience is when the dog is given a command that, if obeyed, would put the person being guided in danger, such as a forward command into traffic. A dog must know how to respectfully disobey commands like these. A re-command is the most emphasized command throughout the training period,

should also not give tax breaks to large companies that offer jobs overseas. He stressed that there are not nearly enough jobs at home and that there need to be more. As an incentive, he will offer tax breaks to companies who either move jobs back to the country or keep jobs here in the first place.

Campus reaction

Several groups on campus voiced their reactions to Obama’s address. The UA Young Democrats, in collaboration with Organizing for America, a communityorganizing project of the Democratic National Committee,

and occurs when the owner calls out the dog’s name. The dog must go to its commander immediately. “We try to keep it very positive reinforcement for the dogs,” Gluck said. “Patience is the key to raising a puppy.” After spending such an extensive amount of time with their dogs, some students said they have grown very attached. “The only thing I regret about this program is letting myself get too attached to Pecifica,” Gluck added. “It’s hard to let her go after you have been the one that raised and trained them.” All dog trainers write monthly reports on their dog’s progress; they also describe the dog’s personality. The reports help the organization make the best possible match when assigning service dogs to owners. “It is going to be hard, because I am very attached to her, but I know she is going to a great cause,” Pierce added. “I’ve seen working teams in action and blind people with dogs and it really makes a huge difference and not only in their mobility, but in the way they interact with other people, because now everyone wants to interact with them and their dog.” According to Pierce, once dogs pass an evaluation after a year of training from their owners, they go through

another three months of formal training. This is where they are taught techniques like how to cross the street with a blind person or how to notice a tree branch on the street that a blind person might not notice. They are taught to find a curbside and stop on it, avoid things that can be dangerous to the person but not to the dog, and how to respond to traffic. Once the dog passes these evaluations, it becomes a graduate guidance dog. “I am happy for her and I know that she is going to do great things,” Reaves said. “She is absolutely the most wonderful dog I have ever had and I can only imagine how much she can benefit someone else, but I know I am going to be just sobbing about her leaving me this Saturday.” Once the dog graduates, the rest of the work is up to the dog. A dog that shows any attachment to the trainer has its career changed. In the case of a career change, the dog returns to its trainer as a pet if the trainer still wants to adopt the dog, Gluck said. “I absolutely love doing this, it’s just an enjoyment and it is a very rewarding hobby and experience,” Reaves added. “I would absolutely love to continue on raising puppies; maybe I’ll have my kids raise one in the future.”

held a State of the Union watch party at Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. Trevor Gervais, a political science freshman and Organizing for America media and field organizer, said Obama has fought for student loan reform and grants. “He (Obama) fights for the youth,” Gervais said. “He has done so much. … He shows us a great vision for the future.” Gervais said Organizing for America’s priority to get Obama re-elected is to register Democrats for the upcoming election, and to help students get involved. Laura Zimmerman, a political science senior and former intern for the Arizona Students’ Association, a student lobbying group, hosted a “taco night” for

friends to eat and watch the address in her home. As a “big Obama supporter,” Zimmerman said that she thought the address was great. “I was really interested about the student loan part, and the jobs after college,” she said. Zimmerman added that a true testament for Obama as president was passing legislation allowing equal pay for women. Despite all the support for Obama from the Young Democrats, many students said they were disappointed with Obama and felt that he has made little change to the economic landscape besides increasing the nation’s debt. “Nothing has happened,” said political science senior Lauren Bouton, “but he came into office advocating change.”

said, is what Arizona needs him to continue to do. “We’ve always hoped that maybe that light will turn on and he’ll really settle in and find himself,” Miller said. “I can only hope that this past weekend is the starting point for him.” Parrom said his legs are about 98 percent back, compared to the 80 percent he had a month ago. Parrom said that, with practice and patience, he has finally had time to mentally recover, something he said many people didn’t understand. “Mentally, it’s much better than it was a couple months ago,” Parrom said. “I’m starting to accept the fact that everything’s happening for a reason and just moving on from that.” Miller said Parrom’s presence at the 3 is especially important because it gives the Wildcats options when rebounding on offense and helps Hill and senior Jesse Perry create second-chance shots. Time has healed his leg and allowed him to work on things like getting his jump shot back, but Parrom said the best medicine has been playing basketball. “I think I needed to play this year,” Parrom said. “Whether good or bad, I needed to, mentally.”

Arizona forward Kevin Parrom said he needed to return to the court after being shot in New York during the offseason.

went 5-3 in such games. Miller said on Tuesday that Arizona still hasn’t established a Mariano Rivera-like closer and “that’s one of the things that we don’t do well right now at the end of games.” That could quickly change if Turner can deliver in crunch time. As of late, Turner’s looked the part. The freshman averaged 10 points and 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.6 steals in Arizona’s last three games. He shot 9-of-20 during that span. “Now people are finally starting to see his potential and see him play better,” Arizona forward Kevin Parrom said. “I think he’s doing a great job at the point guard position. I personally love the way he passes the ball. He just spreads out the court and is a great point guard.” Turner’s ability to penetrate and get to the line may just be the remedy the Wildcats are desperately searching for late in games.

stretch against Oregon State, but he, Perry and Hill have yet to prove themselves as closers. Miller admitted that the Wildcats miss Momo Jones and Williams, whose lategame heroics carried them to the Elite Eight a season ago. He even pointed to two seasons ago when Jones and Nic Wise often helped Arizona steal wins it shouldn’t have. “Both of them were really good in the clutch,” Miller said. “Look back at our first year, we were so lucky to be 16-15. We were probably more like a 13-win team but three or four times, buzzer beaters, free throws going in.” But Miller said even without Jones, Williams and Wise, “that’s not to say we can’t all the sudden win a couple of these hard-fought games and turn it right around.” Turner will get his chance to do exactly that. And after a rocky start to his college career, he says he’s poised to take on that role. “I feel comfortable in any environment now,” Turner said. “I just feel a lot more comfortable playing college ball.”

The question becomes: Is a 19-year-old freshman with 18 collegiate games under his belt ready to take on such a task? The Sacramento, Calif., native thinks so. “I’m just comfortable with the ball in my hands at the end of games. I feel like I can get to the line easy,” Turner said. “I never thought it would get to that point but if (Miller) wants to put the ball in my hands at the end of the game I’d be comfortable doing that.” Senior Jesse Perry said after the Colorado game that it’s up to the older guys to demand the ball late in games. But according to Miller, he hasn’t seen his veterans step up to that challenge consistently. Kyle Fogg, who Miller said will be the second option behind Turner in late-game situations, had a chance to create for himself against CU, but chose to kick the ball out to Parrom for the 3-pointer. Fogg also missed a potential game-tying jumper in the lane at the buzzer against Oregon at home. He came up with huge plays down the
