ARIZONA SUMMER

Tribal tradition lives on

By Will Ferguson ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT At a small camp nestled at the end of a dirt road in the heart of Saguaro National Park, Stella Tucker keeps a time-honored tradition of the Tohono O’odham tribe alive.

Every summer, Tucker and her family return to their small camp to gather fruit from the saguaro cactus until the monsoon rains come. Tucker uses saguaro fruit to make syrup, jam and a wine that is used in a Tohono O’odham wine ceremony.

“I remember when my great grandfather would get his wagon and his horses ready and we would go out to our camp in the mountains,” she said. “We would carry our bedding and our water and our food, and we camped there until we made enough syrup to bring home.”

While the wine ceremony and the harvesting of saguaro fruit remain Tohono O’odham traditions, Tucker said younger generations of her tribe are losing interest in the practice.

“When I first started coming here with my grandmother, there were five or six families living here, doing the harvest,”Tucker said.“Now I

am the only one here. The younger people aren’t coming out to take over the harvest and keep the tradition alive.”

While, according to Tucker, the saguaro fruit harvest has lost popularity among younger generations of Tohono O’odham, the Undergraduate Biology Research Program at the UA has been helping Tucker and her family with the harvest for 22 years.

A week ago, Carol Bender, director of UBRP, led a group of undergraduate and graduate biology students on a trip to Saguaro National Park West to help Tucker with the harvest.

“We have been doing this for so many years, it has almost become a tradition for UBRP,” Bender said.

After arriving at Tucker’s small camp late in the afternoon, students and volunteers separated into groups to hunt down and harvest the fruit.

Each group was given a long pole made from the spine of a dead saguaro with which to knock the cactus fruit down.

One student would knock the fruit down and another would attempt to catch it in a

plastic bucket — a process that sounds easier than it actually is.

“It seems like only the tall ones have fruit,” said Michelle Lacomb, an undergraduate from Rice University who was participating on the trip.

While many of the cacti were overburdened with fruit, a good portion of it was not ready for harvest, a trend that Tucker said has been increasing over the years.

“This year the fruit is really late,”Tucker said.

“There was a time when we used to pick through the whole month of May. Now it seems to be moving into the month of June.”

Bender said during the same time last year, she remembered more fruit ready to be harvested.

“Last year, there was so much fruit and it was so ripe that by the end of the night, we all looked like the victims of an ax murderer,”she said.

New Wildcats roam UA campus

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

With around 7,300 students participating in summer orientation, there will be a lot of new faces on campus this fall. Over the summer, future students will be introduced to the college environment and be given a chance to take part in coursework, a fact that has many incoming freshmen excited about their collegiate careers.

Mallory Loftus, an incoming freshman, said she was most excited about “all the new people and getting out of my little Scottsdale bubble.”

For the most part, this year’s orientation remains unchanged.

“Orientation as a process is going to start to change next summer more towards a one-day process for students,” said Keith Humphrey, an assistant vice president in Student Affairs. “As a result, we have not made lots of big changes this summer.”

There has been one change to orientation this year; now, for every first day of orientation, a dinner will be provided for all students in Main Gate Square. Local restaurants provide the food and clubs have booths set up so students can explore and mingle.

“It’s a really nice way to get students connected to an important part of our community,” Humphrey said.

According to Humphrey, orientation is running very smoothly, and both parents and students are enjoying the events.

“I think it’s great because it gives parents a chance to know a little bit more about what they will be doing,” said parent Leticia Beltran.

In addition to going through orientation, many incoming freshmen have already begun taking UA classes through the New Start Summer Program.

The program seeks to prepare incoming freshmen for life as a Wildcat. New Start also helps students prepare for both the challenges and opportunities they will face come fall.

“I think freshmen face a lot of challenges, which is why New Start is so important. Freshmen are experiencing their independence for the first time and that can be scary or just overwhelming,” said Mary Kuper, New Start Summer Program Coordinator.

“Plus, the University of Arizona, even as we try to be FRESHMEN, page 3

Slice of green in the desert

One of the largest of its species in the Western Hemisphere, a tall baobab tree decorates the southwest corner of the Administration building with its colorful orange flowers. This unique specimen is one of the 8,000 trees that make up the UA Campus Arboretum, which was named a 2010 Tree Campus USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota.

“The trees aren’t like the normal trees you see in the desert, which gives UA the feel of not being in Tucson. Not seeing the mountains, seeing all the grass and trees — it’s a change from the dirt and dead trees outside of campus.You can always look forward to going back to a nice, green campus,”said Rachel Svetlik, a UA sophomore.

Junior Taylor-Rose Olea appreciates the greenery as well.

“I especially like the Mall area with all the palm trees and green. I like the area on the west side of campus, between Park and the CESL building. It’s so shady and cool,”Olea said.

The diversity of plants and trees providing the shade and splendor around campus includes more than 400 different species, according to UA Arboretum director Libby Davidson.

The Arboretum website gives a detailed map, locating each plant and tree on campus. Photos are provided as identification, and a“What’s in Bloom”link showcases specific seasons’plants and trees.There are also lists of important trees, tree walks and historical information.

In 1999, the first committee meeting established the Arboretum, but Davidson said they had somewhat of a grand opening in 2002.

“Everyone that came to the table at the first meeting were plant people. We knew there were a lot of unique trees and that we needed to document them,”Davidson said.

Davidson, faculty and staff, students, members of the biology and plant science departments and many more make up the UA Arboretum crew.

The Arboretum makes its money through memberships, donations and gifts. Donors can earn a bench with their name on it or adopt a tree.

According to the Arboretum’s website, its goal is to protect and enhance this collection, as well as fully utilize the benefits of outdoor education.

“Students will do projects, independent study, class activities and more,”Davidson said.

Even if UA students are unaware of the Arboretum, they cannot miss the beauty of the campus.

“There’s this area with a walkway with two rows of orange trees across from Centennial Hall. It’s really shaded and pretty when it’s in bloom. It’s my favorite place. Sometimes I just sit there, and sometimes I’ll take a different way to class to pass them. Also, if I have time in between classes, I like to walk around campus and look at all the trees,” said Caitlin Ocheltree, a junior.

While the scenic campus is enjoyable, sometimes taking care of the plants and trees is not.

Facilities Management ground services tend them all on a daily basis.

“About 50 to 60 people of ground crew are all trained as horticulturists.They look at the plants’area and decide if there are diseases or not,” Davidson said.

Unfortunately, they spend a little more time picking up garbage than working on the actual plants, she added.

“They are skilled people who would rather be looking at plants than picking up trash,”Davidson said.

Davidson estimates that about 20 trees are taken down annually for reasons such as construction or damage.

Preservation and protection are important to keep the Arboretum alive and well. Davidson said a good example is the big eucalyptus across from the Student Recreation Center, located in the middle of a construction zone, that is protected by a fence.

“The effort to protect this would not have happened before the Arboretum became active,”Davidson said.

While some students may take these efforts for granted, others truly appreciate being outside at the UA. “I took a field science class for two years in high school, which made me appreciate being outside and the campus. I’ve danced at the UA and we’ve done class and yoga outside, which is really nice,”said Allyna Sanchez, a sophomore.

three hours examining saguaros and hunting for a hint of red, a telltale sign that signifies the fruit is ripe.

“It tastes like the fruit of my labor mixed with the dirt of the pole,”said biochemistry senior Scott Ogley.“It’s actually really good.”

“You definitely want to catch it with the bucket and not your hand,” said Vincent Denef, a postdoctoral researcher in UC Berkeley’s Department of Earth and Planetary Science.

When the sun finally crested over the mountains, UBRP members returned to Tucker’s small camp to scoop bright red saguaro fruit into buckets.

“When the saguaro flower dies, it becomes kind of like a knife that you can use to scoop out the fruit with,”Bender said.

For nearly an hour, students and volunteers scooped the sticky red fruit into buckets. By the time they finished, Tucker provided the UBRP members with a dinner of flour tortillas, beans and cholla buds, another delicacy of the Sonora Desert.

As the night drew to an end, Tucker sat down with UA students to discuss Tohono O’odham traditions, the saguaro fruit harvest and the process by which she makes the fruit into jam and syrup.

“I might get three jars of syrup from your pick and the fruit I’ve harvested over the last two days,” she said.

In the end, Tucker said participating in the saguaro fruit harvest is just something that she loves to do.

“It is just something in your heart that you enjoy doing,” she said.“I guess that’s me. It is so much a part of my life, I look forward to this every year. I will continue to do it until I am not able to do it.”

Incoming students get jump-started with summer classes

welcoming and supportive, is still a huge campus. Students often feel lost or don’t know where to go to find the support they need. Coupled with the increased rigor and expectations of the college environment, the first year can be really tough.”

New Start allows incoming freshmen to take six to seven units of coursework to fulfill math, English or INDV requirements. While students are taking the classes, they attend workshops taught by peer advisers. Many of the students also choose to live in the residence halls, where residence assistants put together social and educational events on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

“The New Start Summer Program really aims to bring all of the UA’s amazing resources to students,” Kuper said.

According to Kuper, students who participate in New Start have better GPAs and retention rates than students who could have participated but did not.

Jessica Mejia, a Mexican American studies senior, is a student coordinator for New Start. Mejia first became involved as a student in the program. The next year, she decided to come back as a peer adviser and is

now involved as a student coordinator.

“New Start helped me become a better college student and helped me make a connection on campus and find people that will help and support me,” Mejia said.

“That is what New Start is all about. We help students gain a heads up for the fall.

The friends that you make in New Start are forever and the people that you meet are great resources.”

Kuper said UA students like Mejia who get involved also see benefits.

“Some of our colleagues in the Center for the Student of Higher Education and former staff of New Start have been looking into this,” Kuper said. “What they are finding is that our peer support staff do benefit greatly from their time on staff in New Start.”

UA students who work with New Start are provided with two weeks of full-time training to prepare for the six-week program.

“They also are gaining paraprofessional skills as program facilitators, leaders and in some cases, learn new counseling skills that will help them regardless of the career path they choose,” Kuper said.

It is not uncommon for student staff mem-

bers like Mejia to continue to work with New Start throughout their college careers.

“Our student staff often return for multiple

years because they love the friendships and supportive environment they’ve found by being part of our program,” Kuper said.

Missing links in UAWiFi

A gas leak on Monday resulted in evacuation of the dorm construction zone on Sixth Street and Euclid Avenue. The Tucson Fire Department and Southwest Gas contained the leak an hour after it occurred.

Gas leak halts work

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

A gas main on Tyndall Avenue was hit Monday morning, causing gas to leak for more than an hour and prompting the response of the local fire department.

A temporary seal was placed on the gas main with final maintenance to be completed on the pipe Tuesday afternoon.

Southwest Gas Company was alerted at 11:50 a.m. on Monday of the 4-inch gas main being struck by a contractor digging too close to the gas lines, causing the shutoff of gas to the area, according to Libby Howell, a company spokeswoman.

A digging bar caused a small hole to form in the line, which caused the leak.

Contractors installing air conditioning equipment to buildings on the edge of the UA campus slipped and hit the line.

Gas was shut off to the main about an hour after the leak was first reported, around 1 p.m. The struck gas main needed additional attention due to its depth underground.

“These things happen with some regularity,”said Howell of this and other stricken gas mains. However, the difference between this and similar strikes is the depth of the pipe. A major accident was narrowly avoided due to the type of instrument that struck the pipe.

“That’s why we encourage contractors to get a blue stake (to let us know where they’ll be drilling),”Howell said.

“Now, a 4-inch main is a good size main so if it was a full break, you would have heard it all over,”she said.

There were no major outages or evacuations in the area surrounding the leak because the damaged gas main had a two-way feed, allowing the surrounding area to continue to get gas while the leak is being fixed.

Despite the small size of the hole, the entire section of pipe will need to be replaced.

The contractors who struck the main, as well as Southwest Gas Company, will both work to fix the damage, which is estimated to cost between $2,000 and $6,000.

The UAWiFi and UAPublic networks give students, faculty and guests to the UA campus educational and recreational opportunities through free Internet access.

However, about 25 percent of the UA campus remains uncovered by UAWiFi. The wireless data network began covering the campus in January 2007 with only a few access locations and has since been expanding coverage based on usage and student population, according to Derek Masseth, senior director of infrastructure services.

“In the initial deployment of UAWiFi, we focused on the buildings with a lot of student population, such as libraries, major classrooms and the Memorial Student Union,” Masseth said.“It has been a rolling process. We covered one building, then the next and the next.”

The University Information Technology Services website specifically addresses the limited coverage and states that the time frame for expanding coverage depends on money.

“Coverage depends exclusively on budget.The most substantial hurdle is our budget and the availability of funds,” Masseth said.

Providing the UA population with wireless Internet access has not been cheap. According to Masseth, about $8.2 million has been spent deploying UAWiFi and UAPublic from January 2007 to May 2010.

The lack of connectivity in a quarter of the campus has not gone unnoticed by students. When students are unable to connect to the Internet in a classroom or residence hall, many problems arise, such as delays in class activities and homework.

“When I’m trying to get stuff done when I go over to University Boulevard to eat, it becomes a hassle because of the limited coverage,”said Stephanie Ruehl, a chemical engineering sophomore.

In this instance, however, the main obstacle in the way of coverage is not availability of funds, but rather ownership.

“For the most part, University Boulevard is not covered

by UAWiFi west of Park Avenue,” Masseth said.“There are spaces we do have UAWiFi installed in that area that may carry over into some of the restaurants there, but we do not explicitly have the authority to cover those establishments.”

Restaurants and stores on University Boulevard may provide their own wireless connection apart from that of the

UA. The Cereal Boxx is one of the restaurants that offer free WiFi to patrons.

Masseth said UITS gets requests from students and faculty to expand coverage on a certain building about quarterly.

A list of buildings and locations that remain uncovered by UAWiFi was unavailable at press time.

Although the lack of coverage causes problems for some, there are students who have remained unaware of UAWiFi’s limitations on campus.

“I haven’t heard of the lack of coverage, nor have I been affected by it, but I can imagine the problems this poses since so many classes have online components of some sort,”said Anthony Basilio, a pre-business sophomore.

The UITS website states that all areas of campus will eventually be covered by UAWiFi and UAPublic.

Guide to a scholarly summer

A

fter a grueling spring semester of mediocre basketball, laying out and not going to class topped off by the rude awakening of a caffeine-fueled, expletive-laden finals week, the summer recess may seem like a much-deserved break from the rigors of a university education. Some might be jumping into a part-time job, happy with only a beer pong championship and a grade point average lower than a supermodel’s body fat percentage to keep them company, or perhaps will be taking a summer course in tanning and will aspire only to appear on the esteemed scholarly forum Texts From Last Night.

But for the esteemed few who are actually Anna Swenson aware of the location of the UA Main Library, Columnist summer can seem like a wasteland of minimum-wage flashes of the future, bad television and an utter lack of academic stimulation. Even the lucky legions who secured internships with Suspenders Monthly might feel their intellect dropping like a baseline energy level after a gallon of 5-Hour Energy that seemed like a great idea the night you crammed an entire semester of Traditions and Cultures 101: Nutrition, God,You and Sexuality in East Africa.

Readers of this column are already ahead of their classmates; those who read newspapers will probably have less trouble remembering to, say, bring a pencil to class when courses begin in August. For those interested in keeping their noggins in the tip-top form that secured them placement at this esteemed institution in the first place, what follows are a few tips to keeping form during the languid summer months.

A first tip to keeping both one’s self respect and one’s sanity this summer: avoid initialisms, and especially avoid people who think an initialism is an acronym. The most egregious example would have to be the ever-eloquent“GTL.”Coined by the aspiring alcoholics on MTV’s“Jersey Shore,”this stands for Gym, Tan, Laundry. Though the cast of this television series is often making guttural noises, even they do not try to pronounce this phrase as a word, making it not an acronym but an initialism. Other examples of phrases to avoid in usage and in proximity include the vintage: SOS, AOL, DUI; the vapid: OMG, LOL, KKG; and the vulgar: LMFAO, DTF, MILF, WGAS. Also: PBR. Another tip to keep in top form for another semester of concentrated procrastination: avoid vampire media. Blood sucking seems to have become a cultural fetish, but this phenomenon drains independent thought more quickly than Hollywood drains red corn syrup. From the maudlin Mormon parables of“Twilight’s” Forks, Wash., to the softcore suckfest of“True Blood’s”Bon Temps, La., any screened format of these most popular parasites are a drain on the few brain cells a college student has left after a semester-long“research project”in“how vodka is metabolized.”If the popular culture has given you a thirst for fangs, blood and sicklylooking Englishmen, books inspired all of the aforementioned vampiric masterpieces.

In order to tread the intellectual waters until your life raft of the school semester comes along, there is one easy, usually free way to keep one’s noodle in top form: read. Whether it’s crap or Kafka, US Weekly or the U.S. Constitution, Twilight or Dracula, Steig Larsson or Rivka Galchen. Do it ironically. Do it while at the gym, or tanning, or doing laundry. But if you want a university education to be anything more than a ticket straight to middle management, reading is an easy, cheap way to learn something not on a syllabus.

This bill was passed, like most legislation nowadays, to save the state money. It’s an admirable goal to be sure, but one which is misapplied in this instance in order to continue to repress those who are already marginalized in our society. In a September 2009 article in the Arizona Daily Star, Alan Ecker, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Administration, said the state spent $3 million to cover domestic partners.

That is a large sum, yes, but it pales in comparison to the $625 million Ecker said Arizona spends on insurance benefits for other employees and it is downright paltry compared to the $735 million the state received in January from selling state buildings, including state Capitol buildings.

Not only are there better ways to secure new revenue for the state of Arizona (a progressive taxation policy comes to mind) but there are also ways to save money that don’t involve satisfying some thinly-veiled agenda. To disguise what amounts to a slap in the face to homosexual or unmarried heterosexual couples in the state of Arizona by denying basic benefits under the guise of the severe economic crisis is where this legislation crosses the line from head-scratching to browbeating.

Keeping blood ban a disservice to those in need

S

ince 1983, the United States Food and Drug Administration has maintained a ban prohibiting any man who has ever had sex with another man — even just once — from donating blood or organs. The ban was created before technology had provided a viable way of testing donated blood for HIV infection.

Today, donated blood is put through a battery Heather Price-Wright of sophisticated Columnist tests to determine whether it is safe and disease-free. However, after two days of hearings, the Federal Advisory Committee on Blood Safety and Availability recommended last week that the FDA maintain the ban prohibiting gay men from becoming donors. The decision came despite criticism from organizations such as the American Red Cross and America’s Blood Centers.

It is true, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention studies, that“men who have sex with men,”or MSM, still represent a disproportionate number of HIV cases in the United States; while they make up just 2 percent of the population, their infection rates are 44 times higher than those of other men.

However, African Americans, who make up 12 percent of the U.S. population, account for more than 50 percent of new HIV infections, according to the CDC. African American men are more likely to contract HIV than women, but the CDC reports that at some point in their lives, 1 in 30 black

women will be diagnosed with HIV. That rate is more than 15 times higher than the infection rate of white women. Hispanic individuals also have significantly higher rates of HIV infection than white ones.

This is not to say that these or any other groups should be banned from donating blood along with gay men. On the contrary, the statistics point to the fact that the ban, far from better ensuring that no infected blood makes its way into blood banks, merely perpetuates ugly and outdated stereotypes.

As recently as the 1990s, AIDS was seen as a “gay”disease, a terrible infection that only reached those in a particular, stigmatized group. However, the AIDS epidemic in Africa and its growing threat in the United States reveal that HIV is not a“gay” thing — anyone can become infected, and tens of thousands of Americans do each year. Studies have shown that heterosexual sex is the fastestgrowing means of contracting HIV in the United States, and the most prevalent method worldwide.

HIV does not belong to a single group, but affects millions of people. Lifestyle choices such as whether one uses drugs intravenously or practices safe sex have much more bearing on one’s risk for HIV infection than simple sexual orientation.

The blanket blood ban encourages the nasty stigmatization of gay men as an“infected”or “tainted”population, without doing anything to protect those who need blood.

In fact, the ban limits the amount of blood organizations like the American Red Cross can receive. According to the Williams Institute for Sexual Orientation Law and Public Policy, the ban robs blood donation agencies of about 219,000 pints of blood annually. Lifting the ban could result in a 1.4 percent increase in the nation’s

blood supply and a 2.9 percent increase in organ donations — about 900 organs per year. The outdated ban keeps these much-needed supplies of blood and organs from getting to people who need them to stay alive.

Imagine what a difference lifting the ban could make at the UA alone. Several times a semester, the Red Cross Blood Mobile takes up residence on the UA Mall to accept donations from students, staff and community members. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Pride Alliance, the UA’s largest LGBTQ support group, has an active and vibrant role on campus, and could, if the ban was lifted, encourage blood donations from its members. Our campus alone could contribute a substantial amount more blood to the Red Cross without the restrictive ban, and would certainly do so with joy.

Technology today has made modern blood screening techniques unrecognizable compared to those 20 years ago. Prohibiting men who have sex with other men from donating blood is an unnecessary, discriminatory practice that perpetuates ugly myths about homosexuality and HIV. The FDA would do well to ignore the recommendation to uphold the ban, but unfortunately will probably continue its dated practice of denying gay men the right to save lives through blood and organ donation.

But perhaps with enough pressure from gay and civil rights organizations, the next time the ban comes up for review, a more clearheaded decision will emerge.

POLICEBEAT Shoplifter did it for love A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from the UofA Bookstore Wednesday afternoon in reference to a male shoplifter who was being held in custody.

The officer approached the man and asked him what was going on, to which he replied that he had“decided to take a lanyard cause I’m a retard.”The shoplifter had purchased several other items and when the reporting officer asked him why he had chosen to steal the lanyard, he explained that it was because he needed to get his girlfriend a present and because the lanyard had been labeled incorrectly.

The shoplifter purported that the lanyard had a price tag of $9.99 despite the fact that its actual price was $6.99. The officer asked the male if that was his reasoning for taking the lanyard to which he replied that it wasn’t and that he didn’t have a reason for taking it.

The man was cited and released at the scene and informed that he would be barred from the bookstore for one year.

Anxious bike thief flees police, changes clothes Two women conducting their daily walk at 5:30 Wednesday morning reported a bicycle theft in progress. They witnessed a male attempting to steal a bicycle near the Main Library while his female companion acted as a lookout.

A UAPD officer was dispatched and apprehended a man matching the description outside the Cochise Residence Hall. The man was carrying a dusty bicycle with a flat tire and while the officer was conducting a records check, the man threw the bicycle to the ground and fled the scene.

Another officer was directed to the man’s new location and he found him in the process of removing his shirt in an apparent attempt to alter his appearance. The suspected bicycle thief fled again and attempted to pass as a pedestrian briefly before a third officer spotted him. The suspect threw his arms in the air and yelled,“I didn’t do it!” and then lay on the ground on his stomach.

The officer searched him and found a four-inch silver knife and an orange bottle of pills, along with a bag containing a pair of bolt cutters, two pairs of cutter pliers and a small multi-tool. The man explained that the pills were Xanax for his anxiety although he didn’t have a prescription.

Soon, the suspect’s girlfriend walked toward the scene, where she was also arrested for acting as a lookout and for outstanding warrants.

Both were transported to Pima County Jail.

‘Weirded-out’ man narrowly avoids marriage Tuesday night at 10:30, three UAPD officers responded to a report from a concerned passerby about a possible fight in progress at the corner of East Fourth Street and North Highland Avenue. Upon arriving at the scene, they found a man standing by a Toyota Corolla stopped in the middle of the road and a woman standing by an SUV parked several yards away.

The officers began questioning both parties. The man explained that he had known the woman for approximately two weeks and that she had been staying the night with him in his room for a few nights, as well as occasionally spending time with him during the day. He explained to the officer that he had wanted her to go home because he wanted to sleep alone and because he was “weirded out” about comments she had made about wanting to marry him. When he tried to drop her off at her house, the woman reportedly refused to leave, after which the male attempted to physically carry her out of the car, in much the same way that one might carry his bride over the threshold on a wedding day.

Under questioning, the woman corroborated that she was engaged in a sexual relationship with the man, which had reportedly been taking place at the man’s parents’ house. She explained that after a fight, he had attempted to drop her off at home but she didn’t like the way he was talking to her, so she attempted to stay in the car to resolve the issues. The man then attempted to physically remove her from the car.

Although Tucson Fire Department paramedics determined that there was nothing visibly wrong with the woman, she complained of an aching shoulder and asked to be taken to the hospital. Neither party was arrested for any criminal charges.

Attention skateboarders: UAPD checks fake names A UAPD officer was dispatched to the Modern Languages building late Wednesday afternoon to assist a police aide on a skateboarding call. Three men had been spotted “performing tricks”outside the building.

The officer was able to confirm the identities of two of the men, but the third, who had provided the name“Samon Haze,”was not returning any records. The officer informed“Samon”that he was not finding his information in the computer and that if he had given false information he had one chance to correct it or he could face arrest.“Samon” confirmed that all the information was correct.

The officer then requested“Samon’s”social security number, which he supplied. The social security number returned a different name and “Samon”confirmed that he had in fact lied, and when asked to explain why, he said“I took a shot.”“Samon”was then arrested and the officer explained to him that if he had just supplied his real name he would have received a warning.“Samon Haze”was cited and released.

UA student heads art exchange

By Ashley James ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Victor Navarro, along with his mentor Hana Ripp, organized an event last year that blurred the geographic boundaries of the artistic world. Ripp had a vision, and three years ago, when she met Navarro, she foresaw her vision coming to fruition.

Several years ago, Navarro, a marketing and studio art student at the UA, was working for Ripp as a curator for Vila Thai Cuisine during its monthly art walks. At first, Ripp was not impressed with Navarro’s work. What impressed her was his persistence in approaching her.“He didn’t know anything about my vision,” Ripp said of Navarro.“But I could tell that he was a networker and an opportunist.”

After Navarro was presented with Ripp’s vision of bridging the gap between separate cultures through art, he adopted and pursued this philosophy. Navarro shared these ideas with contacts in Paris, and shortly afterward he was able to organize the international art exchange in the student union, which took place in November of last year. Ripp and Navarro invited 20 artists from all over France to come to the UA’s Student Union Memorial Center and exhibit their art alongside local artists.

They hope to create a new exchange, which would take place in this fall.

“I believe this was an experience of sharing cultures, trends, and techniques,”Navarro said.“It impacts (the artists’) personal lives through a unity of artists. Not only in their professional fields but in their community.”

Ripp was captured by Navarro’s perseverance.“I studied him, and

Victor Navarro, a Tucson artist and UA student, worked with other local artists and artists from France to create the mural behind him at the Armory Park Senior Center.

the main thing was, he was open to growing, to evolving and being criticized,” Ripp said,“and for the past three years he hasn’t stopped.”

“I read her vision that was developed in 1988 and I thought that it would be interesting since I am an artist and am interested in the international community,” Navarro said.

Once Navarro traveled to Paris and met Parisian art critic Denise Woirin, Ripp’s vision began to unfold. Navarro has been recognized for his artistic talent many times and his work has been exhibited all over the world, including France, Taiwan and Germany. This success allowed him to network and pitch Ripp’s ideas to new supporters.

Navarro said the purpose of the artistic exchange is to unite cultures from different backgrounds.

There are already plans in place for upcoming years that include an exchange in Vietnam and Guadalajara, Mexico.

The event for fall 2010 will take place at the Body Center for the Fine Arts, located about 30 miles outside of Paris, France.

Navarro said he believes that as a young person, and as a minority, there have been many barriers that could have stopped him from achieving his goals.

“I believe breaking those barriers and following through with the vision and our plan is a message for everybody else who has a dream,”he said.

Ripp emphasizes that the event stresses bridging cultural and artistic gaps.

“There are no boundaries,”Ripp said.

By night, Hotel Congress tends to shout“trendy hipster scene!”at wary crowds who feel neither trendy nor hipster enough for the downtown hotspot. But during the day, The Cup Cafe, located just inside the hotel, plays host to all kinds of people.

Breakfast at The Cup is served all day. There is also a dinner menu that ranges from Sonoran hot dogs to fish 'n' chips. Each menu carries a distinctly southwestern influence, offering ingredients like roasted chiles and pico de gallo. Parents walk around with their toddlers and dogs lay on the patio. Judging from the lack of empty tables, the family-friendly, laid-back restaurant is very successful. The downside to The Cup's popularity is its wait time. Reservations are recommended and patience is necessary after ordering.

The service might be slower than expected, but the servers' manners are never unwelcoming.

The food, luckily, is worth the wait. It's made fresh, indicated by the burn on my tongue brought about by an overeager bite of the cast-iron baked eggs ($9). Made with two eggs baked together with ham, leeks and gruyere cheese smothered in a ton of cream and herbs, the dish is served with your

choice of toast and the hotel's awesome potatoes. The potatoes are roasted and seasoned with salt, pepper and herbs, a fairly simple recipe. Also recommended is the “Every Day is a Challah Day” French toast, made with challah bread and served with fruit or walnuts ($9 plus 50 cents per topping). Less enjoyable is the “Croque Senor”($8). It's a toasted ham sandwich with gruyere and bechamel, but the saltiness of the ham was somewhat overwhelming.

Kristina Bui/Arizona Summer Wildcat

Overall, however, my breakfasts were experiences made for peoplewatching and reading the Sunday paper on a lazy morning. Which is to say, they were very positive.

The Cup is not a place college students on limited budgets can afford to frequent. But every once in a while, brunch on its outdoor patio is a special treat.

Wise's draft hopes up in the air

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

The 2010 NBA Draft will be held in New York City on Thursday night, and it could be the first time in eight years that an Arizona player won’t be selected in the draft.

Former Wildcat Nic Wise has worked out for seven NBA teams and has received some positive feedback, but the 5-foot-10 guard probably won’t hear his name come Thursday night.

“He got good reviews from his Indiana, Sacramento and his Rockets workouts,” said former Arizona player Jawann McClellan, who has known Wise his entire life and has worked him out for the last month in preparation for pre-draft workouts. “(Teams) have said he’s been the best in one-on-one drills, and he’s looking good,” he said. “I don’t know about getting drafted, but hopefully he can get on a summer league team and go from there.”

One of Wise’s coaches from his freshman year at the UA, Jim Rosborough, thinks if given the opportunity, the small guard can make it in the NBA. “I think if he gets a chance in the pros, he can be very good in some pick-and-roll situations,” Rosborough said.

“He can get the ball up the floor in a hurry, he has some quickness, I think he has a shot.”

Rosborough has talked to some scouts and they have told him his chances of being in the league are good.

“Scouts have said even if he isn’t drafted, if he has a good agent, he has a chance,” Rosborough said.

Wise’s size is often mentioned as an obstacle in making it in the NBA, but the former Wildcat assistant coach doesn’t think it’s as big of a deal due to Wise’s skill set.

“I don’t know if the size will be critical. I know they like the guys that are like 6-foot-3,” he said.“If he gets to a team that needs a backup point guard, and he can defend adequately, I don’t think size will be a problem.”

If Wise is not chosen in Thursday’s draft, it will be the first time since 2002 that no Wildcat has been selected in the NBA Draft.

Though there is a strong possibility that he won’t be on an NBA roster next year, Wise is

willing to go overseas to further his basketball career.

“He’s very open to going overseas because he’s been to France to play several times,” McClellan said.

McClellan said Wise knows his chances of being drafted are slim, but he is clearly aware of the draft process.

“He knows the reality, he knows he has a small window, but he’s still confident in himself,” McClellan said. “He has to wait and see what happens and leave it in God’s hands.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Wildcat receiver suspended indefinitely Arizona football receiver Delashaun Dean was cited for misconduct involving weapons in a report filed Saturday, according to public records.

He has been suspended indefinitely, according to a release from Arizona head football coach Mike Stoops.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout grabbed 42 passes for 396 yards during the Wildcats’ 2009 Pacific Life Holiday run. Dean was expected to be one of the Wildcats’ top receivers going into the 2009-10 season but battled injuries throughout the season.

Two UA football players on watch list for end-of-year awards

Junior cornerback Trevin Wade has been named to the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, which is given to the nation’s top defensive player. Wade had nine career interceptions in his first two years as a Wildcat.

Senior center Colin Baxter also made a pre-season watch list for the Outland Trophy, given to the nation’s top interior lineman. The last UA player to win the award was defensive tackle Rob Waldrop in 1993.

Baxter was a second team All-Pacific-10 conference selection in 2009.

“He’s like twice as young as I am and you never know how that relationship is,”he said.“If he would have offered, I would’ve had to think about it.”

But after just three weeks of retirement, another job came calling.

It wasn’t the Division I job he had hoped for, but it was one that would allow him to stay in Tucson.

In 2009, Rosborough was hired by Pima Community College head coach Karl Pieroway as an assistant coach.

Pima could be seen as a step down for Rosborough, who coached teams filled with NBA talent, but it was an opportunity to get back into coaching.

“Last year the Pima job was really good,” Rosborough said. “I would spend six to eight hours a day there,” he added.“Pima was a really good pace and we had a really good year.”

The Aztecs (20-16) finished seventh in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II tournament in the 2009-10 season.

Though Rosborough, 65, has moved down in the college ranks, he still feels he can coach at the top level.

“Not to gas myself up, but I still think I can be at a Division I school and be very good,”Rosborough said.

The former UA assistant coach is currently in the running for the head coaching job at Pima, but wouldn’t comment on it since no decision has been made yet. While waiting to hear about the Pima job, he knows that he might have to let his D-1 dreams go.

“Maybe there is a time when you have to let the D-1 stuff go,” Rosborough said. “I thought I did a pretty good job here (at Arizona), but maybe there is a time you try something new, but that’s fine.”

battle for World Series home field advantage. Though baseball can get boring throughout the season, the All Star game festivities are always fun to watch, especially the Home Run Derby.

Brett Favre retires and comes back again Let the drama begin. Throughout the last two NFL off-seasons, Brett Favre has been a hot topic of discussion. In a matter of weeks, Favre will tell some Pop Warner team in Mississippi that he will play again if they win their first scrimmage.

Maybe he’ll retire on the first day of training camp and then make a comeback on the final day of training camp. It’s Brett Favre, so drama should be expected.

Mayweather–Manny Pacquaio mega fight was bound to happen for the sport to gain some ground on the heels of the rapidly-growing juggernaut that is the UFC. In order for the fight to be held in November as expected, both sides must come to an agreement sometime during the summer. If this fight doesn’t happen, boxing will take a major hit and could possibly lose more fans to UFC.

British Open The story in this year’s PGA tournament will be whether Tiger Woods will get back to his old self. If Woods fails to have a good showing at the British Open, people will begin to question whether the women are the secret to his dominance. Most people will only watch on the final day if Woods is in the hunt.

UFC 116 and Lesnar’s return

Tour de France 2010

I never thought I’d support the UFC after having countless arguments with roommates as to whether it was a sport or not. But Brock Lesnar’s return to the octagon against Shane Carwin is one bout to look forward to. After Lesnar’s career and life were almost ended by an intestinal illness, it will be interesting to see him return.

Being a WWE fan growing up, I can remember Lesnar as a wrestling star, watching the Vince McMahon-led sports entertainment sessions in the ring, instead of the octagon.

NFL training camp begins

Will Mayweather and Pacquaio fight once and for all?

As a boxing fan, I know the Floyd

Can Lance Armstrong get back to winning the Tour after Floyd Landis accused him of using performanceenhancing drugs? If Lance finshes miserably, does it mean he was on the PEDs after all?

This list is not in any particular order, but if it were, the start of NFL training camp would certainly not be last. Most sports fans wait to start their countdown for the day when the Pro Bowl ends in February. It’s the time of the year that all NFL fans become sure this is the year for their favorite team. This will be the time we will learn if Albert Haynesworth will finally show up, and if Terrell Owens will finally be picked up.

favorite pink puffball starring in his own feature console game, and while there are some changes to the Kirby you know and love, it’s good to have him back. Now there’s co-op that allows players to work together and share the fun. The beautiful and unique art style in this game is what really makes it pop, with nearly everything being made out of yarn.

Keep an eye on this one moving forward. Mario is nervous already.

Best PC game: ‘Portal 2’

Valve never expected“Portal”to make such an impact when it was released in The Orange Box back in 2007, but when fans asked for a sequel, developers were happy to oblige. The game is now co-op, and there are also a few other interactive objects to help the player.

While the Portal Gun hasn’t changed

The waits for almost every major Nintendo display were over an hour and a half long, more than every other display at the expo.

Best of the Big 3: Nintendo

Best in Show: 3DS

Every year, gamers spend hours arguing over who had the best show and while most years it can go any way, this time it’s rather obvious.

Most hardcore gamers have shied away from Nintendo in the recent past due to the Wii’s more “familyoriented” direction, but this year the company made a surge back to its roots with a slew of new games and familiar faces. Their real ace in the hole, though, is the 3DS. With 3D that doesn’t require glasses, you can’t really go wrong, and the titles that will be coming out for the new handheld will be the icing on the digital cake. If that isn’t enough proof, let the people convince you.

The 3DS was already mentioned with the Nintendo award, but it deserves another category win all its own. This little piece of hardware will revolutionize video gaming. 3D without glasses starts here on the small stage, but it’s only a matter of time before it hits the big consoles.

The future aside, the 3DS already has a strong line-up for launch (whenever that might be) and looks great in 2D. It was hands down the biggest innovation at the conference and it deserves best in show. And even though there’s no official release date or price, you should be first in line to buy one no matter the cost. It’s that good.

Drake pushes rap subgenre forward

By Joe Dusbabek ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Drake, with his airy vocals and soft beats, remains difficult to explain. The man who killed the gangster stereotype has brought atmospheric balance and drawn out the softer side of hip-hop with his new album, Thank Me Later.

This album represents a permanent departure from the torrid affair of modern rap — with its hard beats and even stiffer lyrical musings — and offers something priceless: a clean, paved road for the rest of the rap genre to follow.

Thank Me Later isn’t the best rap record of the year, as was expected from some. It’s hardly great. But Drake has accomplished something here rarely seen from this side of the music industry. He’s provided a blueprint for how to accomplish moody “bummer rap”successfully and in the process has delivered a supremely lis-

thing spectacular.

From the opening track“Fireworks,”featuring Alicia Keys, it’s apparent Drake has no intention of giving us anything less than a relaxed take on how to make a rap album. From the beginning, he sets a high bar and the inventive background combines with Keys’ soaring vocals to create a song much more Photo courtesy of amazon.com likely to be heard tenable album from start to finish. The in a Starbucks than on Top 40 radio.

Other highlights include the ultrasofter, relaxed side of rap is definitely chill“Shut It Down”and the Lil’Wayne much preferred to the alternative of collaboration“Miss Me,”which is the how this album could have turned best Wayne has been in any supout, with the undue pressure put on porting role this year. With lines like Drake’s shoulders to produce some-

“It’s Blood-gang-sign but I party with Snoop / Turn you into a vegetable / like you lying in soup,”it’s clear that Wayne put more than a little thought into his role on this particular album.

More importantly than the individual parts of Thank Me Later, is what it means to the hip-hop and rap communities. It’s not the best album out today, but it proves that there is room for variation within the genre beyond the simplicity of guns and money that the gangster stereotype provides. Make no mistake: five years ago this album would have had a very difficult time making it to production. But this is what makes this album different. It’s the evolution of rap from a hurting genre into a surviving one.
