NASA budget impacts UA projects While some programs slip through, others have been cut entirely

By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT

With one project already halted, a proposed NASA budget cut stands to hurt the UA’s planetary science research.

President Barack Obama’s proposal, delivered on Feb. 13, suggested cutting NASA funding by

$58.6 million. The area facing the largest cut is planetary science, which, according to the proposal, will drop by $300 million.

Since the UA receives about $18 million from NASA annually, according to planetary sciences department head Tim Swindle, the proposal significantly impacts the UA’s planetary science research and could limit what the department is able to do in the future.

“If the budget stands as proposed, it certainly will not be good for us,” Swindle said in an email. “Since we

compete very successfully in virtually every program in NASA planetary science, it is inevitable that we will be hurt in ways we can’t predict.”

The Senate and House of Representatives proposed that funds to planetary science only drop by about $1 million on Thursday, but the proposal is still up in the air.

Alfred McEwen, a professor of planetary geology and the principal investigator for the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment, has taken the biggest hit from the

proposal at the UA level. He had to halt nearly all production on his latest project, the High Resolution Stereo Color Imager (HiSCI).

The project includes the construction of a camera similar to HiRISE. While it would take photos at a lower resolution than its predecessor, it would be capable of full-color imaging and stereo mapping. The instrument would attach to the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, which is being built by the European Space Agency, and is due to launch in 2016.

ON HANDS AND KNEES

HiSCI’s funding comes from a joint venture between NASA and the European Space Agency, with the former pitching in about $30 million. Since the proposal, McEwen said the project had lost $25 million of its tentative funding, and can no longer proceed with the construction phase of HiSCI. This phase would have started around this time after a final design review in February, which also failed to come to fruition.

Graduate students take home awards for efforts in education

By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT

The GPSC held its 2012 Achievement Awards and Resource Mobilization event on Friday in the Student Union Memorial Center to honor 11 graduate students who have made outstanding contributions to graduate education.

Students had the opportunity to nominate their peers and mentors for honorable recognition.

“We are trying to give support and recognition to the various individuals who have contributed success to the UA, not just for doing the minimum work but for those who have gone above and beyond,” said Chris Cornelison, a public administration graduate student and event director for the Graduate and Professional Student Council, in his opening speech.

There were six nomination

categories: outstanding mentor of graduate or professional students, outstanding diversity development by a graduate or professional student, outstanding graduate and professional leadership, outstanding research assistant, outstanding program coordinator and outstanding teaching assistant.

The winners in each category received a certificate of honor and $100 from GPSC, and runnersup also received a certificate of honor and $50. Forty-five individuals were nominated and 85 letters in support of the award were submitted.

The award ceremony concluded GPSC’s Student Appreciation Week. Roeland Hancock, a psychology graduate student and GPSC president, said appreciation week is a way to recognize students for their contribution and to give them a break from

studying while enjoying social activities with their peers and families.

Keith Humphrey, dean of students and the event’s keynote speaker, said in his speech how impressed he was with the quality of work that GPSC has contributed.

Award winners First place for outstanding diversity development by a graduate/professional student: Jamie Ann Lee, information resources and library sciences First place for outstanding research assistant: Shannon Corkery, family and consumer sciences First place for oustanding program coordinator: Lori Boyd, senior

“When you bring your voice to the table, you win and you make the UA stronger,” Humphrey said to the graduate students. “We are counting on you and all the innovation and creativity that you bring to make our world a better place.” program coordinator, chemistry and biochemistry First place for outstanding teaching assistant: Joel Muraco, family and consumer sciences First place for oustanding mentor of graduate and professional students: David Christenson, classics professor First place for outstanding graduate/ professional student leadership: Erin Durban-Albrecht, anthropology

The UA’s Relay for Life organizers are counting funds raised at Friday’s event with the hope that they met their goal of $60,000.

The event, which raises money for the American Cancer Society, aimed to raise $10,000 more than last year, according to Corey Lueker, a journalism senior and the event’s chair.

From the beginning of the year leading up to the event, organizers work to raise money for the society, but the Relay for Life event serves as the main fundraising effort. From the beginning of 2012 up until the event, they had raised about $40,000.

Hundreds of people showed up to support the event, which took place on the UA Mall. This year, Lueker said, there were around 1,000 people who signed up, each donating at least $10.

Students seemed to be in high spirits to raise money for the event.

Jessica Olson, a psychology sophomore and part of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority team — which placed second in fundraising, according to the website — said

Biosphere 2’s water sharing and harvesting model, the Omani Falaj Water Oasis, is a replica of mountain water harvesting systems that are used in Oman today. The technology, which has been in place since ancient times, uses artificially created channels to direct water from mountain ranges to areas at lower elevations.

What a world

Earth Day sees festival at Main Gate Square, Biosphere 2 water symposium

By Stewart McClintic Daily Wildcat

The UA celebrated sustainability this weekend with a number of Earth Day festivities on and off campus.

On Saturday, Biosphere 2 unveiled the Omani Falaj Water Oasis, in conjunction with a symposium on water management. The people of Oman have been creating and maintaining artificial springs in the Arab country, which has a similar climate to Arizona, for more than a millennium.

After looking at how the Omani used their irrigation system, called a falaji, researchers in the Biosphere 2 were able to build a model of a new sustainable oasis.

“It is very relevant today in Arizona where we’re clearly going to run out of water one day,” said Peter Smith, the project’s director and a professor in the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. “We need to remember how we did things in the past. The Omani system is one of the ways we could use in the future.”

Lori Radcliffe-Meyers, a second-year graduate student studying landscape architecture and one of two students who helped design the oasis, said the system will provide a sustainable way to deliver water in the future.

The 10-foot long model shows a water-harvesting technique that uses gravity, which makes it efficient, she said. The Omani people still use this system today and have roughly 3,000 functioning falaj systems throughout the country.

“We are very proud to have put a physical landmark that marks the relationship between the UA and Omani,” said Sultan Hamdoon Al Harthi, mayor of Muscat and head of the Sohar Development Office.

Although the science behind the oasis is “ancient,”

it provides a critical strategy to how scientists can save water in the state, said Joaquin Ruiz, dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

Students on campus also celebrated Earth Day on University Boulevard at a festival hosted on Friday by the Students for Sustainability.

Organizations like the Compost Cats and UA Community Garden as well as businesses like the Technicians for Sustainability, a local solar panel company, attended the campus festivities. The Earth Day celebration aims to get UA community members more involved with sustainability efforts on campus, said Sarah Smith, the event’s director and a junior studying Spanish and creative writing.

Joe Abraham, director of the Office of Sustainability, said the event is entirely student-run and student-initiated. The event, he said, helps show the university how dedicated it is to creating a more sustainable environment.

“I think this shows that we have a community that really cares about this and cares about a more sustainable future, as well as making it a part of our daily lives, and celebrating it,” he said.

Alyssa Hinchman, a member of the Solar Cats and a senior studying molecular and cellular biology and veterinary sciences, said that in its fourth year, the festival united student clubs and businesses for an important cause.

Obama urges lawmakers to keep interest rates on college loans from skyrocketing Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama used his weekly video address to launch a weeklong push on the issue of college affordability, pressing lawmakers to act to prevent a sharp increase in interest rates for student loans.

The president noted that at a time of economic distress, a college degree has never been more important. But “it’s also never been more expensive.”

“In America, higher education cannot be a luxury. It’s an economic

imperative that every family must be able to afford,” Obama said.

Legislation passed in 2007 temporarily cut the interest rates for Stafford loans from 6.8 percent to 3.2 percent. If Congress does not act to extend the lower rates by July 1, as many as 7 million families could face higher payments, the White House estimates.

The issue is not on the congressional front burner at the moment.

But for the president, the policy push gives him reason to travel to college campuses in a trio of November

battleground states next week: North Carolina, Colorado and Iowa.

Obama also will take his pitch to a national television audience, albeit at a late hour. He’ll be on NBC’s “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” from North Carolina on Tuesday.

The president fit the college affordability push into his larger economic platform.

“We’ve got to build an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules. That’s how the middle class

Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., who chairs the Education and Workforce Committee, said in a statement that he had “serious concerns” about any plan that “kicks the can down the road and creates more uncertainty.”

“My colleagues and I are exploring options in hopes of finding a responsible solution that serves borrowers

and taxpayers equally well,” he said.

The Republican weekly address focused on gas prices. Sen. Roy Blunt of Missouri attacked Obama for focusing on “gimmicks” such as the Buffett rule “that would do nothing to jump-start jobs or lower fuel prices for average Americans who are really struggling to make ends meet.”

Blunt called on the Obama administration to stop blocking the Keystone XL pipeline, calling it the nation’s “largest shovel-ready project.”

SANTIAGO, Cuba — The way Cesar Cruz and his buddies see it, the “revolution of our grandparents” just doesn’t cut it anymore.

The 19-year-old student and his friends gather every Saturday in leafy Cespedes Park, dreaming of an impossible future.

“We don’t have the chance to think of a better life, without misery,” Cruz said. President Raul Castro may have launched economic reforms in this communist country, to much international fanfare, but so far they haven’t trickled down to Cruz or anyone else he knows.

And political freedoms seem even more remote to young Cubans.

Cuban authorities have made it clear that the economic overhaul will not extend to the political system, which will be maintained as a closely guarded oneparty form of socialism.

The economic reforms, and the political stagnation, have laid bare a generational divide. Younger Cubans, facing a stifled future, want more.

But where the youth finds frustration, an older generation looks to the past for comfort.

Supreme Court to hear Arizona immigration case later this week MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Immigration politics will hit the Supreme Court this week as justices consider how much border-control clout the states can deploy.

The court must decide whether Arizona went too far with a crackdown that includes ordering police to routinely check the legal residency status of people they stop. The court’s ruling answer this election year could ignite Capitol Hill, other states and, especially, Hispanic voters.

“This is a huge case, of great importance,” said Andrew I. Schoenholtz, a visiting professor of law at the Georgetown University Law Center.

other states have allied themselves with Arizona, arguing for the power to impose certain immigration measures if they choose. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and 16 other House Democrats from California take the opposite position.

On both sides, dozens of friend-of-thecourt briefs press different points.

The court’s decision is likely to come in June, as the campaign season is heating up and about the same time as the court is expected to rule on the Obama administration’s signature health care law. While a decision to uphold the strict Arizona law would be a legal defeat for the Obama administration, some scholars predict it could help the president politically by boosting turnout among the nation’s 21 million voting-age Hispanics.

“Fear is a remarkable mobilizer,” said Gary Segura, a Stanford University pollster

and political science professor.

Citing failures by Congress to deal effectively with immigration and the estimated 11 illegal immigrants living in the United States, Arizona legislators included several far-reaching provisions in the 2010 law.

The most controversial, and the one that may cause the court the most difficulty, deals with checking U.S. residency status.

Under the Arizona law, police who detain people for other reasons must check their residency status if the officers have a “reasonable suspicion” that they are illegal immigrants. When someone is arrested, residency status must be confirmed before the person is released.

The law also makes it a state crime to be in the United States without authorization, as well as a state crime for an illegal immigrant to work or seek work without authorization.

brothers were looking to support the cause as much as they could.

“We just wanted to show that we are fully supporting this by having as many people in our chapter show up and staying the entire time,” he said.

In addition to members of Greek Life supporting the cause, dorms, churches, members of the Freshman Class Council and clubs showed up to help raise money.

“I think it’s great to see how many passionate leaders we have on this campus,” said pre-physiology freshman Vinson Liu, the president of Freshman Class Council and a senator-elect in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. “Seeing all the support for one event is just incredible. It’s heartwarming and it’s nice to see fellow students put their time aside on a Friday night to come to an event that helps out so many people.”

Capping majors inhibits academia Serena Valdez Daily Wildcat

W

hat happened to encouraging students to consider all their options? Students shouldn’t be told they can’t declare a certain major merely because 200 other people are already studying it.

And yet, in a memo anonymously emailed to The Chronicle of Higher Education, the dean at the Virginia Military Institute proposed an unusual plan to limit the number of students in certain “popular” majors. By forcing students to major in other fields, he hopes to level the distribution of students across disciplines and equalize the workload of faculty members.

“This uneven enrollment distribution strains resources for the larger majors and underutilizes resources for the smaller ones and prevents effective resource planning,” said Brig. Gen. R. Wane Schneiter, deputy superintendent for academics and dean of the faculty at VMI in the memo. “In the smaller majors, faculty workloads are relatively light, class sizes are small. … The opposite may be true of the larger majors.”

Schneiter’s plan would tie admission to academic majors, so that an applicant’s chance of admission would be higher if they planned to pursue a less-popular major. Students would be able to transfer to another major after they were admitted, but only if the new major had fewer than 200 students enrolled.

The institute, a four-year public military college, offers 14 academic majors. The seven mostpopular majors account for 83 percent of students. The remaining 17 percent study the school’s seven least-popular majors.

Putting a cap on the number of students per major makes some sense, but it’s the principle of the matter.

In an interview with The Chronicle, an unnamed senior professor at VMI explained students’ interests evolve, especially at a liberal-arts college like the Institute. According to an anonymous email to The Chronicle, some VMI faculty members were “outraged” by the memo, likening the dean’s plan to “academic socialism.”

Students should be able to choose their own future and not be limited because some other majors might have smaller classes.

The right to a choice should still be there. Taking away that right sounds like something straight from the book “The Giver,” where each student is handed their job regardless of what they might have wanted for themselves.

Choosing what you want to get a degree in is a big deal, so it must be treated as such. Students must be allowed to decide what direction they want their life to go in.

Having an enrollment cap on popular majors forces students to pursue a field they may not be as happy or successful in. Policies like this should not be integrated into any university.

What a student will learn and how it can be applied to jobs is something that educational institutions have to enforce and should encourage.

Extreme measures, like Virginia Military Institute’s proposal, are completely unnecessary and a personal violation to the personal passions, interests and skills of the future of this country’s workforce.

MAILBAG Dear police supporter,

We love this great state and our profession. We feel supported by the citizens we serve.

But, Arizona is the next victim of a nationwide movement. Outof-state and foreign entities are dictating what type of police services local residents should receive. Law enforcement is in disbelief that wealthy corporations are manipulating their hometowns. The Arizona Highway Patrol Association is asking you to help protect the integrity of law enforcement.

Across the nation, political nonprofits are attempting to reorganize government in Arizona. Large corporations behind these efforts claim their business successes can work for all industries.

However, law enforcement cannot be generalized with other occupations.

When police use lethal force or handle sensitive information, it is impossible to compare our profession to the private sector.

Integrity is measurable in law enforcement and it is demanded by our justice system and Arizona taxpayers. It is an honorable testament that all Department of Public Safety employees want to be accountable to a higher standard than anything available in the private sector. Police have a “business model” that works through current Arizona state laws.

From the crime lab scientists to the highway patrolmen, DPS employees face criminals together. However, introduced legislation impedes the ability for our organization to protect the livelihoods police staff and their families. AHPA’s primary duty is to provide legal representation after critical incidents. When police can be the subjects of criminal, civil and administrative investigations for doing their jobs, AHPA is there to provide assistance.

AHPA members want to maintain law enforcement’s elite standards. We ask that you stand with us and oppose police reform legislation brought forth by wealthy political organizations.

Big businesses should not dictate how police services should be rendered to Arizonans.

that sensitive places are truly gun-free — using metal detectors, controlled access and guards — we can merrily believe wide-open buildings with no-gun signs (and absolutely no controls) are gun-free. It’s Pollyanna on steroids.

Truly sensitive buildings that should be protected needed that law and the safeguards it provided. Now all you get are feckless paper signs. Thanks, governor.

Make no mistake. Your libraries, public schools and public buildings are stark naked targets. No guards, no scanners, you won’t even have law-abiding armed adults present to respond, which the vetoed bill authorized.

Gun bigots did this by falsely screaming, again, it would magically turn good people into psychotic killers. Complicit media concurred.

Remember — police are second responders. People assaulted are always the first responders, despite deceptive news reports. When seconds count, police are just minutes away.

Now you have gaping open public places, without even your own Auntie Annie there to offer defense. Shame on those who would deny our civil rights in the false name of safety.

In response to the April 20 column titled “Climate change can’t be beat without alternative energy”:

Recent research by Henrik Svensmark and his group at the Danish National Space Center points to the real cause of the recent warming trend.

In a series of experiments on the formation of clouds, these scientists have shown that fluctuations in the Sun’s output cause the observed changes in the Earth’s temperature.

In the past, scientists believed the fluctuations in the Sun’s output were too small to cause the observed amount of temperature change, hence the need to look for other causes like carbon dioxide. However, these new experiments show that fluctuations in the Sun’s output are in fact large enough, so there is no longer a need to resort to carbon dioxide as the cause of the recent warming trend.

The discovery of the real cause of the recent increase in the Earth’s temperature is indeed a convenient truth. It means humans are not to blame for the increase. It also means there is absolutely nothing we can, much less do, to correct the situation.

— Thomas Laprade, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada

In response to the April 19 article titled “Kony campaign dwindles”:

he says foreign intervention can exacerbate violence. The question is how can those of us who want to help, and be a part of something larger than ourselves, act without doing harm? Even providing aid like food and water can increase violence if not done carefully.

Who receives it? Who gets the most? Is it sold to the black market first? Real and perceived inequities can quickly light a fuse.

A positive way to help people at risk is to support organizations that empower local people who live in conflict areas.

One example is Nonviolent Peaceforce, which offers teams of nonpartisan, unarmed civilians to communities in conflict areas. The teams live and work alongside local people, providing protection to those at risk, removing civilians from cross fire, providing opposing factions a safe place to negotiate, negotiating the return of kidnapped family members, and more. Instead of swooping in with an outsider’s view of the right way to “fix” a situation, Nonviolent Peaceforce empowers and protects local stake-holders so they can safely work on resolving conflict nonviolently.

Nonviolent Peaceforce has several teams in South Sudan. A team member from Sri Lanka, where he trained communities how to protect their children from abduction to child soldiering during the long civil war there, now teaches communities in South Sudan how to protect themselves and prevent abductions by Kony and the LRA. Other unarmed peacekeepers retrieve child soldiers. Five teams made up of local women monitor incidents of conflict-related gender-based violence and help create safe spaces for women to address these in their local communities.

Best wishes to the students who are learning to organize and act to make the world a better place.

POLICE BEAT

By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT

Hoppin’ over

A member of the Delta Gamma sorority called the University of Arizona Police Department after she saw a man jump over a fence into the sorority house’s backyard at 2:19 a.m. on Sunday.

The woman said she suspected that the man was homeless. An officer responded to the scene and found the man hiding behind a porta-potty. As the officer escorted the man away from the sorority house, he kept saying, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

The officer asked the man to tell him his name and date of birth, and the man said he was born on Oct. 37, 1977. When the officer told him that there are not 37 days in October, the man corrected himself immediately and said he was born on Oct. 7.

The officer did a background check on the man, and found he had a warrant out for his arrest for shoplifting charges. The man was arrested and searched, and the officer found he was carrying a Motorola RAZR cellphone, a set of keys, an iPod nano and a tool used for breaking windows.

The officer asked why he was carrying this tool, and he said he found it on the ground at a nearby park. The officer then asked why he jumped the sorority house’s fence, and he said, “I was taking a short cut to my house.” The man was put in the back of the police car and taken to Pima County Jail for third-degree trespassing.

A morning buzz

A UAPD officer was patrolling campus on a bike when he saw two students speaking loudly to each other, stumbling and popping balloons and 9:38 a.m. on April 15. He also noticed that the students had red cups in their hands. When the officer approached the students and asked them what was in the cups, one of the men said, “Vodka and Red Bull.”

The officer noticed the smell of alcohol coming from their breath and that they had red, watery eyes. When he asked if they had been drinking, one of them said, “We were at some crazy party last night and woke up at the house totally hung over. We saw some alcohol that was left from the party last night so we decided to cure our hangovers by pouring ourselves a drink.” He then said they were walking to “some charity race.”

The officer asked for identification, and saw they were younger than 21. He told them it is illegal to drink underage as well as in public, and cited them for minor in possession of alcohol in body. They were referred to the Dean of Students Office for a Code of Conduct violation.

‘Speaking in Tongues: Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken, 1961-1976’ This landmark exhibition, curated by Claudia Bohn-Spector and Sam Mellon, brings the work of Berman and Heinecken ‒ two seminal yet under-studied Los Angeles artists ‒ into close conversation for the very first time. Each was interested in appropriating and repurposing images from mass media, which helped usher in the use of photography as a key element of contemporary avant-garde art. Their works are explored within the unique cultural context of 1960s and 1970s Southern California, as it fueled and amplified their highly original creative approaches.

CLUB CRAWL

The semester’s winding down but there are plenty of reasons to get excited for next year. UApresents at Centennial Hall and Broadway in Tucson recently announced their 2012-13 lineups. Here at Arts & Life, we picked a few of the highlights so you can start reserving seats and planning group trips now:

UApresents The Daily Show Live: “Indecision Tour 2012” Oct. 19 at 8 p.m.

Centennial Hall Tickets range from $15 to $40 A blend of stand-up comedy, a lecture and time for a question-andanswer session with the cast and crew of “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” The Daily Show Live should be a show worth seeing. With visits from correspondents Rob Riggle and Al Madrigal, as well as producer and writer Rory Albanese, the event billed as “An Evening with the People Behind the Show,” comes right before the election. And, with tickets starting at only $15, it’s within a college budget.

Anthony Bourdain April 21, 2013 at 7 p.m.

Centennial Hall Tickets range from $15 to $120 Traveling the world and eating sounds like a dream come true. But that’s just one of the plotlines of the life of Anthony Bourdain, host of the Travel Channel’s Emmy-winning show “No Reservations” and “The Layover.” A published author and renowned chef, Bourdain will host a live chat about the adventures in front of and behind the cameras and host a question-andanswer session with attendees. A $15 ticket will get you into the show, but shell out $120 and you get not only VIP seating but also a reception following the performance with hors d’oeurves and photos with Bourdain himself.

lub Crawl 2012 featured seven hours of music, drinking and fun downtown this weekend. With standout acts such as Blind Divine and the Early Black, Club Crawl wasn’t slowed down much by the modern streetcar construction, other than making the process of walking up and down Congress Street and through to Fourth Avenue a little hairy. But the Playground’s rooftop stage and the lineups at both of the clubs downtown and on Fourth made this event one not to miss.

Broadway in Tucson “Wicked” March 20 to April 7, 2013 Tucson Music Hall If you missed “Wicked” the last time it came to Tucson early last year, have no fear because the show is back. The story of how two girls meet in the Land of Oz and become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good makes for a sensational show that’s become a phenomena in its tours. Plus, the last time that it came to Tucson, it “broke box office records and sold out in record time,” according to a Broadway in Tucson press release.

Online at DAILYWILDCAT.COM See more on Spring 2012’s Club Crawl, including a photo gallery, full story and multimedia piece on the biannual event throughout the week.

Blue Man Group April 23 to April 28, 2013 Tucson Music Hall No Vegas trip in your near future? No problem. The act that has excited the Strip for years is on tour and making a stop in Tucson. A combination of comedy, music and technology performed by three guys painted blue makes for a unique all-ages theater experience. It’s bound to entice a local audience this upcoming season as well — even if the act doesn’t say a single word while on stage.

Review

‘Republic’ offers readers look into past

By Andrew Conlogue Daily Wildcat

Courtesy of doubleday

If any career could guarantee universal and eternal fame, president of the United States would be the one. But when you think about it, how many of those 44 names are truly close to the hearts of every American? Even if the names come easily, how many of their accomplishments, words, and personalities are known?

This is the premise of “Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President” by Candice Millard, an examination of the assassination of James Garfield, an obscure president who, the author reveals, deserves to be anything but.

Elected in 1880, Garfield took office in March of the next year.

His tenure lasted only until July.

While he was boarding a train in

Washington, D.C., a mentally ill Charles Guiteau shot Garfield, angry that the president would not grant him the ambassadorship to Paris. Garfield clung to life until September, when he finally succumbed to his wounds and died.

Millard masterfully demonstrates the experience that this sad, strange episode in American history represented for every American at the time. Garfield was beloved by both the black Americans whose equality he fiercely advocated for and by white Southerners as a fair and kind leader.

For the first time since the Civil War, Americans on all sides of the rift felt united under their president.

His loss was felt acutely across the spectrum, and Millard evocatively captures the pain his death brought to all citizens of the country.

But Millard’s powerful writing shines most in descriptions

of individuals close to the assassination. The assassin himself is profiled in detail, and the long list of his truly bizarre behavior makes him far more tragic than evil.

Guiteau clearly was a man allowed to slip through the cracks tragically.

Oddly enough, perhaps the true villains of the story are Garfield’s doctors, specifically his chief physician, Doctor (that’s a first name, not a title) Willard Bliss. Bliss guarded his patient and the course of his treatment with jealous spite, and Millard’s narrative makes quite clear that Bliss’s own prestige was more important to him than the president’s prognosis.

The only hero, aside from the president himself, was, interestingly enough, Alexander Graham Bell.

The famous inventor took it upon himself to invent a device to find the bullet inside the president’s body. No one deserves to die,

and Millard’s painstaking and wonderfully written assessment of his personality shows that James Garfield was perhaps one of the least deserving in history.

“Destiny of the Republic” is a fascinating read and an excellent work of history. More than that, however, it is a service to Americans, introducing them to one of their forgotten heroes. The book leaves the impression that, had he not been so tragically killed, James Garfield would probably have been one of the greatest presidents America has ever had.

In a time when narrowmindedness and partisanship are rampant, it’s a real comfort to know that we once had a leader whose heart was big enough for everyone — a picture Millard paints beautifully.

Despite Sunday's loss, Arizona still leads in Pac-12 standings

By Kyle Johnson DAILY WILDCAT

Despite an extra-inning loss Sunday afternoon, the No. 13 Arizona baseball team left Seattle, Wash., with a series victory over the Washington Huskies and again sit alone atop the Pac-12 Conference.

Junior Seth Mejias-Brean said it was a good weekend, but not a great one after the team dropped the game Sunday.

But even with the loss to a Washington team that sits near the bottom of the conference, Arizona is now a game up on both No. 8 Oregon and No. 11 UCLA in the Pac-12

“If you continue to take two out of three (in the conference), you’re going to be in good shape,” head coach Andy Lopez said.

Lopez added that he doesn’t pay attention to where the Wildcats sit in the standings though, since there are still plenty of games left in the competitive Pac-12.

The weekend started the same way it has for the past three weeks — a

victory carried by the arm of Friday starter Kurt Heyer.

Heyer (7-1, 1.96 ERA) again went the distance for the Wildcats in his thirdstraight complete game victory, while allowing seven hits and one earned run to give Arizona a 10-2 win.

The Wildcats already led 4-0 before a six-run seventh inning gave the them a 10-run advantage and Arizona’s fourth-straight Friday win.

Heyer hadn’t given up a run going

into the ninth inning, but a catcherinterference call and back-to-back hits by Washington spoiled the junior’s shutout bid.

Saturday again featured more dominance on the mound as starter Konner Wade (5-1, 3.84 ERA) threw a complete game of his own to give Arizona a 4-1 victory.

Wade has struggled at times this season, especially in his last start against UCLA when he gave up five earned runs in three innings pitched, but the sophomore shut down the Huskies Saturday.

Wade allowed just six hits and one earned run while striking out seven, and the Arizona offense provided enough support to secure the victory.

Five of the Wildcats’ nine hits were doubles, including RBI doubles by

Bullpen dragging down Arizona

By Kyle Johnson DAILY WILDCAT

After a series victory over Washington this weekend, the No. 13 Arizona baseball team (26-13, 12-6 Pac-12) now leads the conference and has shown it has what it takes to win the Pac-12 — just as long as the bullpen gets nowhere near the field.

The Wildcats’ three starters, junior Kurt Heyer and sophomores Konner Wade and James Farris, are 16-4 on the season and have a combined 3.30 ERA. Arizona’s offense is batting .320, which is the best in the conference. The relievers are 10-9 with a 5.36 ERA. It’s not too hard to figure out that a baseball team needs solid pitching from its core starters to be successful, especially since college baseball teams use a three-man rotation.

But the consistently shaky bullpen is the main roadblock standing in the way of a Pac-12 crown for Arizona, or even a successful run in Omaha.

Against Washington, both Heyer and Wade threw complete games, and Farris threw 7.1 innings before getting yanked.

Arizona had a 4-2 lead when freshman Mathew Troupe came in relief of

Arizona softball using long break to refresh

By Cameron Moon DAILY WILDCAT

After playing eight games in nine days, the Arizona softball team has had an extended break in action, thanks to a revamped Pac-12 Conference schedule. The break began after April 18 and ends this weekend when the team hosts the Oregon Ducks.

“We did some good things, but right now, this little break we’re going to have is coming at a good time,” head coach Mike Candrea said.

“We’re a little fatigued.”

The break came at a crucial time for the Wildcats (31-12, 8-7 Pac-12), who sit at fourth in Pac-12 standings, and who are pushing for a potential home field advantage for the first segment of postseason play.

“Luckily, we have a break this weekend and have a chance to get away from the game and refresh our batteries,” Candrea said on Wednesday. “We have a few people that are grinding away at the plate, and

sometimes it’s good to get away from the game and come back with a new approach and a new feeling.”

Despite his goal of turning the time off into an opportunity for the team to recharge, Candrea knows that such a long break should not happen once in a season, let alone twice — the Wildcats face another nine-game break from the end of the season until the start of postseason play.

“We’ve (Pac-12 coaches) got some conversation to have about it,” Candrea said. “We had a conference call yesterday and we were definitely talking about something different regarding the schedule, whether we push the season back a week, which goes into finals for the quarter schools. There will definitely be a conversation, and I think a change.”

With just nine games remaining on the schedule, Candrea noted the importance of picking up steam at the right time, saying the train is taking off, and his team better be on board if it wants to have the home field come playoff time.

“I think it’s a good thing,” sophomore pitcher Shelby Babcock said.

“We’re together all the time, so I think it will be good to have a break and think about ourselves for a change."

Candrea is seeking motivation the old-fashioned way, watching film with his players and trying to tweak anything that could be problematic.

“It’s a good time,” Candrea said. “I told them one of the things I wanted to do was go see some film with the hitters and show them what they’re looking like right now at the plate. I’ll have some time in the next few days with a little recruiting in between.”

While Candrea is focused on the nuts and bolts of the game, his players are ready for a break and having an opportunity to come back to the game with a renewed focus.

“Get away from the field and take all of our minds off of what we’ve been doing,” senior catcher Lini Koria said. “It’ll be good when we come back fresh and feeling brand-new. It will be good for us.”

Katie Matusik was just one of two members of the Arizona gymnastics team to represent the program at the NCAA National Championship Individual Event Finals on Sunday, and the only member to receive a medal in Duluth, Ga. The senior took third place in the beam competition with a score of 9.8875. Her overall average score for the event is 9.798.

“I don’t know that Katie could’ve done her routine any better,” head coach Bill Ryden said in a press release.

“She has been training incredibly hard,

and we added a lot of difficulty to her routine with the aerial-scale, and she performed it like she had been doing it her entire career.”

Matusik made her first appearance at an NCAA National competition on Friday and advanced to the finals after tying for second place on the beam on Friday. Her 9.900 score was good enough to move her to Sunday’s finals and earn First Team All-American Honors.

“She’s been on a roll on beam for the last few weeks,” Ryden said. “She did two routines that were incredible this weekend, and she certainly deserves this honor. She really is that good.”

Both Matusik and fellow junior Aubree Cristello competed in the first round of the NCAA National Championships on Friday. Both advanced after their individual scores secured

Women's tennis topples ASU Weekend series breaks losing skid, helps Wildcats stay undefeated at home

By Iman Hamdan Daily Wildcat

A sea of red filled the bleachers at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center on Friday. The lively crowd cheered on the No. 27 Arizona women’s tennis team as it shut out ASU on Friday and finished the season undefeated at home.

“If you would have told me that we would have shut out ASU today I wouldn’t have believed you,” head coach Vicky Maes said.

“Every person showed up to play. This win was very impressive to cap off an amazing home season.”

This third consecutive shutout for the Wildcats (16-8, 6-5 Pac-12) extends their undefeated record at home to 13-0. The victory also marks the first time since 2004 that Arizona beat ASU. Prior to the match seniors Natasha Marks, Sarah Landsman and Debora Castany were recognized for their four seasons

as Wildcats.

After a forfeit on court three, Marks and partner sophomore Lacey Smyth put on a show in doubles on court one. The two girls played aggressively, defeating ASU’s Michelle Brycki and Joanna Smith 8-4 to clinch the doubles point.

“Doubles took us a long time to get started,” Maes said. “We didn’t play great because we were more focused on the outcome not the process.”

In singles play, the Wildcats held the Sun Devils to claiming only between one and three games on all six courts.

“With the Pac-12 tournament beginning next week, our focus goes beyond that and into nationals,” Maes said.

Disappointing finish for men’s tennis

In a last-chance effort to pull off a Pac12 win, only freshman Carlos Bermudez and sophomore Kieren Thompson came through as the Arizona men’s tennis team fell 5-2 to Utah on Saturday.

After losing the doubles point, the pressure intensified as singles play began.

The Wildcats (5-17, 0-6) dropped two straight matches, but Bermudez’s singles win brought some hope to the Wildcats. On court four, Bermudez took on the Utes’ Rafael Davidian. Bermudez held Davidian to winning only three games in each set.

It was up to Thompson, fellow sophomore Mario Urquidi and freshman Sebastian Ionescu to win four consecutive matches to pull Arizona out of its winless rut.

As Uriquidi’s match on court two went into a third set, all eyes turned to court five and six in anticipation.

Thompson was up a set and Ionescu was down a set. Thompson ended everyone’s anticipation by claiming the second set against Utah’s Devin Lane. Like Bermudez, Thompson held Lane to three games in each set.

In the midst of a tiebreaker in the second set, Ionescu managed to fight back to tie the breaker at 5-5. Two small mistakes by the Romanian native cost Arizona the match. Ionescu lost both sets with scores of 6-2, 7-6(5).

Junior Seth Mejias-Brean said Washington earned the win Sunday, and it wasn’t a case of the Wildcats giving away a game. “(Washington) played great, they battled back and just outplayed us,” Mejias-Brean said.

Starter James Farris (4-2, 4.33 ERA) didn’t have as much success as Heyer and Wade, but he gave up just four hits and three earned runs in 7.1 innings of work before being pulled for reliever Mathew Troupe in the eighth.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — So let’s review: The Sacramento Kings flew cross-country Saturday to play the Charlotte Bobcats. That Kings team had won 20 of 63 games and was long ago out of the playoff race.

Oh, yeah: And these Kings are so bad defensively, they hadn’t held an opponent under 93 points in 38 games.

All that was negated by the Bobcats’ ineptitude. They fell behind, at home, by as much as 16 points in the first quarter and 35 before this game’s conclusion. If the NBA had a mercy rule, this one would have ended long before the final 114-88 result.

The Bobcats need one more victory to avoid the worst winning percentage in NBA history. This looked quite winnable. And yet they never led, falling behind 14-4 in the first six minutes.

If they can’t even stay close with the Kings at home, what hope do they have of beating the Washington Wizards or Orlando Magic on the road, or the playoffbound New York Knicks at home in Thursday’s season-closer?

Seven-and-59 is staring them mercilessly in the face.

“The biggest thing now is having some pride as men,” Bobcats forward Tyrus Thomas said. “Fight it out every second.”

Having extended a team-record losing streak to 20, the Bobcats don’t appear to have much left with which to fight. Their best healthy scoring option, shooting guard Gerald Henderson, was held to nine points on 3-of-11 shooting.

Rookie point guard Kemba Walker finished with 13 points and 11 assists, but Bobcats coach Paul Silas said he’s wearing out Walker in the absence of injured point guard D.J. Augustin.

Any chance Augustin (right knee tendinitis) plays in any of these last three?

“I’m not really sure,’’ Silas said. “I’m hoping that he plays, because we need him.”

Him and a whole lot else. The overwhelming problem Sunday was an inability from start to finish to keep the Kings from scoring at the rim. By game’s end, Sacramento scored 78 points in the lane. Center DeMarcus Cousins (likely to be suspended for a game for reaching 13 technical fouls) made 11 of 21 shots for 29 points. It felt more like he scored 50.

straight save, giving up two earned runs without recording an out, and the 4-2 game was suddenly tied.

After the Huskies added a third run in the eighth to take a one-run lead, it all came down to Mejias-Brean with two-outs in the top of the ninth The junior delivered with a double down the left field line.

Mejias-Brean then scored to tied it at 5-5 when Washington’s first baseman Trevor Mitsui couldn’t field a hit by senior Bobby Brown, sending the

Farris, and unsurprisingly, the game went south from there.

Troupe entered the game the game with one out and a runner on first base. He left the game with still just one out on the board, but by then, the game was tied and the go-ahead run was standing on second base.

All season the bullpen has been the weakness of this team, and head coach Andy Lopez has said he needs his starters to go as long as they can.

The only saving grace so far this season had been Troupe and fellow closer Stephen Manthei, as both had shown the ability to close out tight games — but the key word is “had.”

Manthei was the first piece of the bullpen to collapse against No. 20 ASU, as he allowed three earned runs in just 1.2 innings off work. Then, in the 6-5 loss to Washington, the junior was charged with the loss, but considering he gave up just one run in 4.1 innings of work, the blame doesn’t directly fall on him. Of course, the praise doesn’t really fall on him either.

But Troupe is a different story, as things have fallen apart recently for the once dependable freshman.

In his last two appearances, Troupe has allowed six earned runs without recording a single out,

Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden and ASU’s Brock Osweiler. Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill, generally regarded as the third-best quarterback in the draft, will appear on Tuesday’s edition.

The 6-foot-5, 240-pound Foles is the UA’s alltime leading passer with 10,011 yards and 67 touchdown passes, but since the Wildcats' lackluster 4-8 season ended in November, his stock has plummeted. After widely being considered the No. 4 quarterback prospect in the draft, behind Tannehill, Griffin III and Luck, Foles has fallen far

game into extra innings.

Reliever Stephen Manthei pitched all three of the extra innings, giving up just one earned run in his 4.1 innings of work, but the single run was all Washington needed as the Huskies walked off on a twoout single in the bottom of the 12th inning.

“I think we were just trying to do too much at the plate, and trying to get it all back in one swing,” Mejias-Brean said.

“We just needed to play like it was the first inning again.”

putting the already thin bullpen in dire straights.

Troupe’s previous 1.28 ERA has ballooned to 4.64 after his last two mound appearances, leaving Manthei (3.90 ERA) as the only reliever with an ERA under 4.00.

To be fair, junior Tyler Hale (1-0, 4.40 ERA) and freshman Tyler Crawford (0-1, 4.50 ERA) have been serviceable in their recent outings, and junior Augey Bill still hasn’t allowed a run in his 2.2 innings pitched.

But with Manthei as the only consistently reliable pitcher, even more pressure has been put on the Wildcats’ front three pitchers — Arizona is just lucky the Pac-12 doesn’t schedule any weekday games.

The Wildcats are just 4-5 during the week, and it isn’t a coincidence that those games have all been started by bullpen pitchers.

Arizona may be able to avoid this problem altogether if it continues to ride the three starters throughout the four remaining Pac-12 series.

And if the Wildcats can do that and also take care of ASU and No. 8 Oregon, they should be Pac12 champions by season’s end.

But the Wildcats will have to be careful, because winning the Pac-12 is only half the battle. If the team wants to have success in the College World Series, it will have to make sure the three starters, especially Heyer, have enough juice when the real challenge begins.

where she posted a 9.600.

“I can’t say enough about Aubree (Cristello),” Ryden said. “She had one hard event, but she didn’t let it get her down. She approached the last event with a smile on her face and came back like she always does with her highest score of the night.”

Matusik ended her career with her third-place performance, but she will return with the Arizona Wildcats next year as an undergraduate assistant coach.

in most circles.

NFL.com’s Gil Brandt had Foles ranked as the 77th best prospect in the draft prior to the scouting combine in Indianpolis, but after his poor performance, he isn’t even ranked in the top 100 by Brandt anymore. CBS Sports has Foles ranked the No. 10 quarterback prospect, behind the likes of San Diego State’s Ryan Lindley and Chattanooga’s B.J. Coleman.

It remains to be seen whether or not tonight’s special will have any effect on Foles’ stock — that will be decided starting on Thursday when the first round of the NFL Draft airs on ESPN, followed by the second and third round on Friday and the last three rounds on Saturday.

Fenway Park celebrates special day Mcclatchy tribune

Robert Willett/ Mct

Wisconsin Badgers head basketball coach Bo Ryan is being criticized for his decision to restrict what schools one of his players can transfer to.

Badgers coach stands by decision Mcclatchy tribune

Bo Ryan is a Philly guy who came to Wisconsin to coach basketball in 1976 and never left the state. He spent 15 seasons in Division III, became the Badgers’ coach at 53 and has won at an amazing rate.

He operates one of college basketball’s most admirable programs, and few among his peers are more widely respected.

All of that bought Bo Ryan nothing as he spent days getting trashed in the media cycle.

Perhaps you heard. Ryan has a player, Jarrod Uthoff, who after redshirting as a freshman decided to transfer. The coaching staff came up with a list of 25 schools where Uthoff couldn’t go, and when that information went public, Ryan went on the skewer.

Limit a transfer’s destinations when coaches can bolt their program for any job at any time?

Block an athlete whose team pours millions into a school’s athletic coffers, including a coach’s paycheck?

Universities are in the process of granting more freedoms to athletes, like the proposed annual stipend, not restricting them.

But restrictive is how Ryan’s action has been interpreted, and he sought to clarify his position with interviews on Thursday, including one with The Kansas City Star.

“We’ve become a whipping boy for this whole thing,” Ryan said. “But there’s a process that needs to be followed.”

That happened on Thursday afternoon.

Uthoff went through an appeal process and was told that the restriction included only Big Ten schools. And even that isn’t a complete road block. Like the Big 12, a Big Ten athlete can transfer within a conference but would lose a year of eligibility.

Lack of playing time, change in a system or coach are the most common reason for a transfer, although Ryan knows that only through hearsay. He’s only had one other player transfer from his program in 11 seasons at Madison.

But transfers are happening with much greater frequency around here, and schools are taking full advantage of some loopholes, essentially landing free agents in the open market.

Missouri’s basketball fortunes zoomed with last week’s announcement that center Alex Oriakhi was leaving Connecticut for Missouri. This was a “free” transfer, meaning Oriakhi could move on without sitting out a year under NCAA rules because the Huskies are ineligible to play in next season’s NCAA Tournament because of academic deficiencies.

Oriakhi is set to become the Tigers’ fourth Division I transfer on next season’s squad.

Iowa State, a school listed on Wisconsin’s verboten list along with the entire Big Ten, ACC, Marquette and Florida, has become one of the nation’s top second-chance programs.

Four Division I transfers helped the Cyclones

reach the NCAA Tournament round of 32.

Iowa State adds two more next season.

The Kansas football team has swung open its doors to six Division I transfers, including three from Notre Dame who were recruited by current Jayhawks and former Irish coach Charlie Weis.

All of them, including quarterback Dayne Crist, can play immediately because they completed their undergraduate work in South Bend and have one year of eligibility remaining.

Ironically, no big-time college in America benefited more from a transfer last year than, you guessed it, Wisconsin.

The Badgers rolled to a Big Ten football championship this season behind the steady hand of quarterback Russell Wilson, who had already earned his undergraduate degree at North Carolina State.

Wilson represented Wisconsin well, and was upfront about his reasons for transferring. Yes, Wisconsin had a degree program not offered at his original school, which NCAA rules stipulate as a transfer condition. The coach at N.C. State also wanted a full-measure football devotion from Wilson, an aspiring baseball player. Wilson, undergraduate degree in hand, transferred.

Ryan also sought an answer. He spent the previous day talking to many colleagues about how to handle this situation. Ryan said the response was unanimous, that he wasn’t being unfair in asking for an answer.

BOSTON — Fenway Park opened April 9, 1912, which Yankees fans like to say was the same day the Titanic sunk.

That’s not really true. The Titanic went down April 15, 1912.

Either way, Bostonians consider April 20, 1912 as the official start of Fenway’s history since it was the day of the first big-league game there, a 7-6, 11-inning Red Sox win over the New York Highlanders, who later became the Yankees.

The April 9 event was a Red Sox-Harvard exhibition game.

The Red Sox honored Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary on Friday with a lengthy ceremony before the game against the Yankees. The team invited back every living former player, manager and coach who could be located, and many big names showed up — though some didn’t.

Hall of Famer Jim Rice opened the “Field of Dreams”-ish ceremony by appearing from an opening in foul territory in leftfield and walking to his old position in front of the Green Monster.

He was followed by more than 200 former Red Sox uniformed personnel, from Don Aase to Bob Zupcic. They appeared ghost-like from under the stands in left, center or right and went to their old positions on the field as oddly somber music played.

Among those on hand were The Beloved (Pedro Martinez), The Forgiven (Bill Buckner), The Revered (Carl Yastrzemski), The Notorious (Jose Canseco) and The Much Appreciated (Terry Francona).

Francona, who won two World Series with the Red Sox before losing his job after last September’s ugly collapse, received a standing ovation when he popped out of the centerfield tunnel.

Boston’s current manager, Bobby Valentine, is hardly as popular after the team’s poor start this season. Valentine joked that there is “a Most Wanted photo of me” in Boston area post offices.

Valentine called the whole day “amazingly special” and added, “I would say that this ballpark has created as many memories for people in this area and around the world as any venue in the world . . . The park has at least a life. It has a magic to it. It’s the baseball land of Oz. People dream about this place.”

Among the Red Sox luminaries who did not attend were Curt Schilling, Wade Boggs, Fred Lynn, Manny Ramirez and Roger Clemens, who is standing trial in Washington, D.C., for perjury.

The players converged near second base as Oscar-winning composer John Williams conducted the Boston Pops in his new composition, “Fanfare for Fenway.” The Pops also played the national anthem and “Hymn to New England.”

The ceremony also included, for some reason, a grape juice toast led by Martinez and Kevin Millar in an attempt to set a world record for the largest toast in a single venue.

Martinez and Millar, of course, were stars on the Red Sox’s curse-busting 2004 World Series championship team.

“It’s unbelievable,” Martinez said. “When you see the amount of players that we have here, how special it makes you feel to have been part of anything in Boston.

To see a group of players and be able to say, ‘I was part of that and continue to be part of that,’ it makes you really feel special.”

Track and field successful at the Mt. SAC Invitational

By Emi Komiya Daily Wildcat

The Olympic dream is hanging in the air now more than ever for Arizona track and field. The Wildcats competed against professional athletes and collegiate competitors alike and brought home four wins, three school records, and four Olympic “A” Standard marks from the Mt. SAC Invitational in Walnut, Calif., this weekend.

“Overall we had some really high-quality performances,” head coach Fred Harvey said.

“It was a heck of a meet for us. I’m excited for all of our athletes, I think it bodes really well for us going forward.”

Junior Georganne Moline, who took two wins at the invitational, led the No. 13 women’s team.

Moline won the 400-meter race on day two and broke her own school record of 56.02 seconds in the elite 400-meter hurdles with a time of 55.25.

She now holds the top collegiate time in the country and No. 2 in the world. Moline also met the Olympic “A” Standard of 55.50.

“It’s relieving, now I can run for fun and just run to get a better time. I don’t have any pressure and it feels so good,” Moline said.

Junior shot putter Alyssa Hasslen, who has taken the reins since junior Julie Labonte announced she will redshirt during the spring season, also qualified for the Olympic “A” standard in her event with a mark of 18.35 meters.

Hasslen’s mark was good for second place and

is now the No. 1 collegiate mark in the country.

Junior high jumper Brigetta Barrett dominated the competition in the women’s invitational elite high jump with a mark of 1.95 meters, also keeping her at an “A” standard and at the top of the nation as well as tied for best in world.

“I felt like I was really tested today,” Barrett said.

“I had my first jump-off, it was really exciting but it was the longest I’ve ever jumped under that kind of pressure. It was cool to see how I handle it because there were times when I did want to give up.

"I don’t know what clicked within me but I said, 'No, after this long of jumping I’m not about to just hand it over to her.' So that gave me the inspiration to just calm down and do what I had been doing on all the other jumps to win it.”

Senior Taylor Bush broke the school record and came in fourth for the women’s hammer throw with a distance of 73.78 meters.

For the No. 14 men’s team, senior Stephen Sambu kicked off the weekend with a win in the 10,000-meter run, clocking in at 28:06.16 and earning the top mark in the country this season.

Sambu's mark was the second best in the world.

“Now I’m really confident going into conference, regionals and nationals,” Sambu said.

Sophomore Lawi Lalang met another Olympic “A” standard for the men’s 5,000 meter run by 1.12 seconds.

Arizona will bring the competition home next weekend when it hosts the ASU/NAU Double Duel at Drachman Stadium.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Free chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV testing as well as free condoms, lube, and sexy prizes!

Get Yourself Tested (GYT) Resource Fair Wed., April 25th • 10am-1:30pm • UA Mall

Q What happens to semen after it is

ejaculated in the vagina and anus?

A. In both the anus and vagina, some of the ejaculate may drip out in the next few hours after sex, but the majority of it is absorbed into the body.

In the vagina, semen travels up the vaginal canal, through the cervix, into the uterus, and to the fallopian tubes.

Semen is made up of water, fructose (a type of sugar) as well as secretions from the prostate, testes, glands, and of course, sperm. Keep in mind that sperm’s sole mission is to fertilize an egg. They can live up to 5 days inside the body, depending on their condition. If sperm don’t reach an egg within that time, they die. Stress, an unhealthy diet or weight, drug use, altitude, and radiation can all affect the quality of sperm.

egg can be difficult since it has a thick outer lining. Experts think this is nature’s way of having the healthiest and most fit sperm be the one that fertilizes the egg, increasing the chances of a healthy baby.

Remember, semen and vaginal secretions are bodily fluids that can carry infections.

The best way to protect you and your partner(s) from many STIs, HIV, and pregnancy (if having vaginal sex) is to use a condom each and every time you have sex.

Need condoms? Stop by Free Condom Friday every Friday during the school year from 12pm-2pm in Health Promotion (3rd Floor, NE corner of Campus Health) for a sample pack that includes some of the condoms available at the CHS Pharmacy.

There are over 100 million sperm in one ejaculation, and of those 100 million, only about 50 will reach an egg. Penetrating an

“It’s not a big economic impact to the U of A,” McEwen said. “But it’s an important experiment that we want to complete.”

McEwen added that HiSCI was one of the first steps leading to sample return — literally bringing back a sample from Mars for research in a number of facets — which is a roughly $10-billion, multi-project undertaking for NASA. “They didn’t want to make that commitment at this time,” he said.

Despite the expense of such a lengthy series of projects, McEwen said the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter stood independent from the overall idea of sample return, and shouldn’t have been cut.

“It’s unclear how well they understood that, or whether they were just looking for excuses to cut something,” he said.

Following NASA’s withdrawal, the European Space Agency partnered with Russia in completing the mission, and hope to restore HiSCI is quickly dimming.

In an effort to get HiSCI into space regardless of the vehicle it’s

attached to, McEwen is working on design concepts for an entirely different NASA-led mission with a proposed launch in 2018, which remains completely open. How the association can afford this project but not the original is anyone’s guess, McEwen said.

While HiSCI is facing harsh affects from the proposal, OSIRIS-REx has avoided any major funding changes.

OSIRIS-REx began in 2008, winning about $800 million, the highestpaying contract in the UA’s history.

It involves taking a sample from an asteroid to be used for research to explore the solar system’s history and discover the potential benefits and dangers of asteroids surrounding Earth, said Dante Lauretta, an associate professor of cosmochemistry and planet formation and the project’s principal investigator.

OSIRIS-REx is funded through NASA’s New Frontiers program, a competitive program that aims to fund roughly two high-profile missions every 10 years, Lauretta said.

Similar to other projects of its kind, OSIRIS-REx is a collaborative effort between the UA as well as other institutions and companies.

Each of the partners will receive a

certain portion of the funding, with the UA collecting about $225 million by the end of the project.

While the terms of funding for OSIRIS-REx have already been negotiated, Lauretta said that anything can change at this point, and the proposal process is always ongoing. Furthermore, he said the budgeting process is often an unorganized one, with the largely bipartisan Congress that typically doesn’t line out the official budget until several months into the fiscal year. When this happens, Lauretta said, Congress usually reverts back to the previous year’s budget until next year’s can be determined.

Regardless of how the budget for 2013 turns out, Lauretta said his project is well off for the months to come. Its roots in both science and homeland security give it an edge that not every project has.

“It’s a real challenge for the people who work at NASA headquarters to keep projects like this moving forward,” he said, “when your budget is constantly a moving target, the subject of a political battle and not getting done by the Photo courtesy of hirise deadlines that things are supposed HiRISE, a camera attached to the Mars Reconaissance Orbiter, has been phototo get done by.” graphing the planet’s surface since 2006.

Romney trying to win over Hispanic voters Mcclatchy tribune

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Mitt Romney has a problem with Hispanics.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee trails Democratic President Barack Obama among Hispanic voters by a margin of better than 2-1, a deficit large enough to cost him the presidency as it did John McCain four years ago.

Some of his problem comes with the Republican brand, some through his own tough talk on illegal immigration during the Republican primaries. Either way, Romney has to find a way to close the gap or lose. Among the options: a conservative version of immigration reform, an Hispanic running mate, and plenty of grassroots courting.

“It’s the most important swing voter group in the country,” said Republican pollster Whit Ayres.

That’s because the country’s demographics are changing. Republicans tend to win the majority of whites, but whites are shrinking as a percentage of the country while Hispanics surge.

Ayres noted that McCain in 2008 won the same percentage of the white vote as Ronald Reagan did in 1980.

But whites represented 88 percent of the vote in 1980; the representation was 74 percent in 2008. Reagan won handily. McCain lost.

At the same time, Hispanics surpassed African Americans as the country’s largest minority, and their share of the vote grew, too.

Republicans fared well with George W. Bush, who spoke Spanish and backed immigration reform that would allow a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country.

He took 44 percent of the Hispanic

vote in 2004, helping him win a close re-election.

Then Republicans helped kill immigration reform. Amnesty, they called it. They cheered as Arizona adopted a get-tough law. By last December, 67 percent of Hispanics called themselves Democrats and 20 percent called themselves Republican, a 47-point deficit.

Romney jumped in during the primaries, eager to prove his conservative bona fides. He ripped Gov. Rick Perry of Texas for supporting in-state tuition for the Texas children of illegal immigrants. He opposed a proposed Democratic immigration law, the DREAM Act, that would allow a path to citizenship for children of illegal immigrants after they attend college or serve in the U.S. military.

He called for illegal immigrants to “self deport.”

By last week, he trailed Obama among Hispanic voters 67-27 in a new Pew Research Center survey. That’s worse for Romney than the 67-31 margin Obama took in 2008 against McCain.

Romney appealed to Hispanics during a visit to Arizona Friday, hoping their concern about the economy will trump other issues.

There are other possible routes, many of them applauded by Republican officials meeting in Arizona who signaled the party grew too harsh in its approach in recent years. “Most Republicans, most people, don’t care for a fast track to citizenship,” said Bill Crocker, on the Republican National Committee from Texas, “but don’t mind if people live here peacefully and productively.”

Perhaps, but Romney ridiculed a proposal by primary rival Newt

Gingrich to allow illegal immigrants in the country a long time to remain here legally, though without citizenship. And any move to soften his positions will be lampooned by Democrats, eager to portray him either as harsh or as an unprincipled flip flopper who will, in the words of a Romney campaign adviser, rewrite his campaign as easily as the screen of an Etch A Sketch.

“The Latino community and voters nationwide will not allow Mitt Romney to Etch A Sketch Romney’s extreme views,” said Juan Sepulveda, a senior adviser for Hispanic affairs at the Democratic National Committee.

“If there is one thing that we are clear on, it’s that Mitt Romney is on the wrong side of every Latino issue and that, on immigration, he would be the most extreme presidential candidate in modern history.”
