Protesters gather in downtown Tucson demanding that Jan Brewer veto the new immigration bill SB 1070, arguing that it legalized racial profiling, three days before Brewer signed it into law.

UA’s ASL interpreters show signs

By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT The University of Arizona Disability Resource Center provides services to students in need. American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters Heather Donnel and Kathy Murtaugh are two staff members for the center who have been catering to the needs of the UA’s deaf students for years.

Donnel and Murtaugh have been interpreting at the UA for 11 and six years, respectively. They sign for approximately 12 students and faculty, although according to Donnel, the number used to be much higher.

“With the Americans with Disabilities Act, students can go to any college now and get interpretation services,” said Donnel. “It used to be that only certain schools offered the services.”

The Disability Resource Center has a total of five staff interpreters and several freelancers. The interpreters sign for nearly anything, according to Murtaugh, but mostly classes and lectures.

Donnel and Murtaugh did not grow up using ASL, but rather learned the language later on in their lives.

“I started learning sign to be able to communicate with a deaf girl I was teaching how to swim. Her whole family was deaf and her mom started teaching me sign,” said Donnel.“I actually didn’t take my first ASL class until my senior year of high school. My teacher told me I should become an interpreter so I applied to college for interpreting and that is what I’ve been doing ever since.”

Murtaugh began learning ASL off and on during the 1980s and ‘90s. She said her passion for English drew her to sign language.

“I’ve always loved it,” Murtaugh said. “I love the challenge of trying to get at what people are really trying to say and sign language really requires this.”

Although knowing sign language is a valuable skill, Donnel and Murtaugh wanted to take on the responsibilities of making it their career.

UA law professors weigh in on SB 1070

By Will Ferguson ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT UA law professors broke down Arizona Senate Bill 1070 into simpler terms and examined whether or not the law is invalidated by federal law in a recently released Preliminary Comment Draft.

On July 22, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton will hear the federal government’s lawsuit against Arizona’s new immigration law, SB 1070.

UA law professors Marc Miller and Gabriel Chin and political science professor and executive director of the International Studies Association, Thomas J.Volgy, provided insight into the upcoming legal hearing.

All three experts interviewed said immigration enforcement is first and foremost a federal issue.

“Immigration issues are constitutionally federal matters; they do not belong to the state. If states could make immigration law, we wouldn’t have a federal government,” Volgy said.

According to Miller and Chin, who coauthored the draft, there is little doubt that many parts of the statute are constitutional.

Racial profiling, according to Chin, is not illegal when law enforcement officers base their decision to perform a stop on other factors as well.

“In a situation where there is probable cause, the fact (that) the stop was also based

on race is not grounds for it to be thrown out,” Chin said.

A key issue is whether SB 1070 is preempted by federal law, Miller said. While the federal government may decide to rule against several provisions in SB 1070, it does not mean the entirety of the law will be thrown out.

“One of the central themes in the very long history of Supreme Court decisions is that immigration policy vests in the federal government,” Miller said. “The defense of the nation and foreign affairs and commerce with other nations also vests in the federal government. These are clear SB 1070, page 6

Students' research takes them abroad

By Julia Etters ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Since 1992, the UA’s program BRAVO! (Biomedical Research Abroad: Vistas Open) has made it possible for UA students to do research overseas and collaborate with scientists in various countries.

Nursing and Spanish senior Elizabeth Crane is currently doing research in Tromso, Norway.

“The best part about doing research abroad is seeing the similarities and differences between the ways things are done at home in the U.S. and in a foreign place. It is interesting to compare the two, because while there are many differences in the way tasks are accomplished, all the work is towards the same common goal,” Crane said.

Crane is researching how health care systems affect women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Crane said she is comparing the Norwegian health care system to the United States’ to evaluate elements within both systems, examining the beneficial aspects as well as anything that might hinder the treatment process.

Though research abroad may help Crane achieve her goal of becoming a registered nurse, as well as allowing her to experience a different culture, these opportunities did not fall into her lap.

According to Carol Bender, director of BRAVO!!, the application process is very involved and teaches students what it means to be a scientist.

Students must have six months of related research experience, and they must write a proposal and defend it before a panel.

After completing the process, Biochemistry senior Troy Comi was able to earn funding for his research.

“The application is long and difficult, but it is a great opportunity to practice writing for grants and asking for support from funding agencies. The selection committee gives you plenty of time to address concerns and the program has a fairly high acceptance rate,” said Comi, who is researching new methods of diabetic systems in Stockholm, Sweden this summer.

Crane said jumping through all the hoops

was worth it.

“When you think about the fact that, if you are accepted, they will pay for the whole trip, it definitely puts things into perspective and makes all of the work worth it,” said Crane.

According to its website, BRAVO! is able to fund students with grants from the NIH National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities at the National Institutes of Health and The Howard Hughes Medical Institute .

“We pay for pretty much everything. It’s a very generous package,” Bender said.

Bender said they sent 10 students abroad this summer. They only send one to two students during the academic year. It’s difficult to schedule overseas research in addition to science classes if a student wants to graduate in four years, Bender said.

Bender emphasized the distinction between

studying abroad and researching abroad.

Microbiology senior Andrew Ancharski agrees that there is a big difference.

Ancharski, who is currently in Peru, is researching a parasite that causes Chagas disease, which is spread by insects.

“Studying abroad seems more like a vacation to me. Doing research abroad is much more challenging and it yields results that will contribute to your future,”Ancharski said.

Bender said every student that applies to the program has a mentor.

“You need the people here to help you make the contacts abroad and help you through the process,” Bender said.

Ancharski received help from a UA professor and lab manager, Crane’s honors thesis advisor aided her in setting up work with an institution abroad, and Comi’s mentor, Craig BRAVO!, page 3

Offbeat news from across the nation Ind. man gives painting to Colo. bin Laden hunter

CATPOLL

MUNCIE, Ind. — An Indiana man who says he dreamed two years ago of a bearded man slaying Osama bin Laden has given a painting of the dramatic scene to a Colorado man arrested in Pakistan while hunting for the alQaida leader.

Jerry Cool, 63, told The Star Press of Muncie that he was “shocked” when he saw Gary Faulkner talking on CBS’s “Late Show With David Letterman” on June 28 about his arrest in northern Pakistan earlier that month.

“Once I saw Gary on TV, I knew that was him in my vision,” Cool told the newspaper. “To me, he’s the only one that deserves that painting.”

Faulkner, a bearded, 52-year-old unemployed construction worker from Greeley, Colo., says he traveled to Pakistan to kill bin Laden. He was carrying a pistol, a sword and night-vision goggles when detained in midJune near the border with Afghanistan.

Cool, who has a beard himself, said that in 2008, he dreamed of a “man with gray hair and a dark beard” killing the al-Qaida leader, and that he committed the scene to canvas.

The painting, “A Renaissance Dream of 9-11: The Killing of Osama bin Laden,” shows a bin Laden-like figure on one knee in a thigh-length white robe and sandals, wielding a sword. He’s being stabbed with a spear by what appears to be an armored Roman soldier with a beard, while two others fight on horseback in the foreground.

date, address and signature of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

According to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Boston, Thomas Chapman, 50, of Malden, and Paul Brickman, 50, of Chelsea, tried to sell online a customs declarations form filled out by Armstrong, who just had returned from a trip overseas designed to boost “morale and boost support” for troops serving abroad.

The complaint said Chapman was working at Boston’s Logan International Airport in Customs and Border Protection on March 13 when Armstrong passed through a checkpoint and even helped Armstrong with his luggage to a connecting bus to New York.

But authorities said Chapman did not properly file a customs declarations form with the proper Department of Homeland Security officials. Instead, he and Brickman allegedly tried to sell the form using an auction company that operates a public website dedicated to the sale of historical documents and memorabilia.

Bidding for Armstrong’s form began in May with a starting bid of $200 and reached $1,026 before the auction company halted the bidding in response to concerns raised by a bidder, the complaint said.

Federal investigators recovered the Armstrong document shortly after the auction company removed it from its inventory.

Both men have been charged with stealing an official government record. It was not immediately clear if either had a lawyer.

Oakland to consider licensing large pot farms

BOSTON — Two Massachusetts men stole and tried to sell a customs form with the birth

SAN FRANCISCO — The Oakland City Council is considering a plan to license

four production facilities where medical marijuana would be grown, packaged and processed.

The move would make Oakland the first city in the nation to license wholesale pot cultivation.

City leaders are expected to vote Tuesday. If the measure passes, it would still need to be approved on a second, final vote.

Supporters of the measure say it could generate millions of dollars for Oakland in taxes and sales, create hundreds of jobs and position Oakland to reap dividends if voters pass a November initiative to legalize recreational use of marijuana.

Opponents say it would drive small growers out of business.

Stolen Elvis statue found in Md. cemetery ROSEDALE, Md. — Elvis has been found with the angels.

An Elvis Presley statue, taken earlier this month from the roof of a Maryland diner, was recovered Tuesday between two angels at a nearby cemetery.

Baltimore County police say a customer found the 80-pound statue at the Faith Cemetery in Overlea and returned it to the diner. Police say the customer is not considered a suspect.

The now footless Elvis — its feet were left bolted to the diner roof — was taken earlier this month from the Happy Day Diner in suburban Baltimore. Diner owner Maria Pigiaditis said after the statue was taken that a former owner bought the 7-foot-tall fiberglass Elvis for $1,500 in 2001, and until the theft he had only been taken down once for a “facelift” after a storm.

UA, sponsors subsidize student projects

Aspinwall, introduced him to the idea of doing work overseas.

“He has done some research and spent time during his sabbatical at the Rolf Luft Center.

He was able to introduce me to everyone overseas that made my stay here possible,” said Comi, referring to Aspinwall’s help.

Comi hopes to continue his research in graduate school and eventually conduct research of his own in an academic setting.

“The best part of the research is access to the facilities where I work. The Rolf Luft Center is one of the largest diabetes research centers in Europe. It’s by far the nicest lab I’ve ever worked in. I have also had the opportunity to work closely with experts in molecular cloning and imaging, and they were able to teach me many new techniques, as well as new tricks for techniques I already knew,” said Comi.

Comi recommends this experience to other UA students.

“Not only was I able to spend my summer productively in the lab, I also experienced a different culture, a different laboratory environment and a new city. I learned about local culture and history, tried new food and met a lot of great people,” Comi said.

Crane also urges UA students to participate in BRAVO!.

“If you are a motivated student looking for an opportunity to get research experience in a wonderful, unique setting abroad, you should definitely consider applying for the BRAVO! program,” said Crane.

Ancharski agrees with Crane and Comi, and added that there needs to be more information available about these types of opportunities to students.

The downside of researching abroad for Crane and Ancharski included being away from friends and family.

“In Tromso, all of the students go on vacation during the summer, so there are very few people my age and everyone who I work with is older,” Crane said.

Comi said one of his biggest issues has been the sun.

“Being so far north, Stockholm has sunlight for technically 18 hours, although it really never gets dark. This makes going to bed and staying asleep very difficult,” Comi said.

Ancharski has had trouble with language barriers.

“A few people speak English in the labs, but not everyone,”Ancharski said.

Although these negative aspects make the trip a bit more challenging, these students feel like the valuable experience makes it worth it.

“I have learned countless things while being here, all of which will help me with my future goals in education,”Ancharski said.

Girl dies after being swept away by Ariz. flooding More than two inches of rain fall in parts of Flagstaff

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — A 12-year-old girl died Tuesday after being swept away by floodwaters after heavy thunderstorms hit a section of northern Arizona scarred by a wildfire last month, authorities said.

The floodwaters rushed through a pair of subdivisions north of Flagstaff, forcing dozens of residents to flee their homes. The water carried large boulders, ash and other debris through the communities, knocking down fences and creating a muddy mess.

Coconino County sheriff’s officials said the girl — identified as Shaelyn Wilson — fell into a wash south of White Vulcan Mine, a pumice mine north of one of the subdivisions. Her younger sister notified other family members, who performed CPR until medics arrived.

Authorities said Shaelyn was later found near a highway and was covered in mud as she was pulled from the water. She was unconscious during resuscitation efforts and taken to Flagstaff Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

“Despite our best efforts, we were unsuccessful in saving the patient,” said Summit Fire Department spokesman Charles Kwiatkowska.

Two wildfires over a single weekend in Flagstaff last month forced the evacuation of hundreds of homes. Firefighters worked painstakingly to ensure no homes were burned, and no major injuries were reported, said Coconino County Sheriff Bill Pribil.

“To lose a child at the end of this is devastating,” he said.

Heavy rains was also sweeping through parts of southern and south-central Colo-

rado, flooding streets and creating traffic problems. Southbound lanes of Interstate 25 in Colorado Springs were shut down Tuesday evening after a five-car collision that included a horse trailer.

The National Weather Service said more than 2 inches of rain fell Tuesday afternoon in areas of Flagstaff that were charred last month by a 15,000-acre wildfire. Authorities determined the wildfire was sparked by an abandoned campfire that wasn’t properly extinguished.

Vegetation in the wildfire area is scarce, allowing water to flow quickly over the landscape.

The U.S. Forest Service is overseeing efforts to prevent flooding in the area with straw mulch. Residents have used sandbags, concrete barriers and straw barriers to help keep water from reaching their homes.

Bob and Teresa Linhart have used all three methods of flood and erosion control around their homes. But the floodwaters rose above the 3-foot barriers Tuesday and knocked down chain-link fences on their property. Teresa called Bob at work Thursday terrified but decided against leaving her home because she had so little time.

She later told her husband,“you won’t have any trouble getting in the yard because there’s no fences,” he said.

“I’m anxious to get home and see how far down some of my property went,” he said from the tailgate of his truck at a parking lot off the highway.

Neighbors have put together contact lists to check in with others in case of flooding and

some bought weather radios. County emergency officials sent word to 900 residents Tuesday, urging them to seek higher ground. It wasn’t immediately known how many residents evacuated, but the sheriff’s office said a shelter was being set up at an elementary school.

Authorities said they would work Wednesday to assess the damage.

Authorities shut down a portion of U.S. 89 because of the floodwaters, and dozens of motorists waited alongside the road or in nearby parking lots for the water to recede.

Joan Piwetz had a truckload of furniture to unload when she arrived home. Before she was finished, she heard a loud roar from the rushing water.

She said she grabbed her purse and 4-yearold son, got in her truck and got out safely, crossing water 3 feet high as she drove away from the community. She honked at other motorists along the highway to warn them to turn back, she said.

“It was the scariest thing to see a black, raging river,” she said.

Piwetz left behind the family’s ducks and chickens, doubting they had much of a chance to survive. Standing next to her pickup truck streaked with mud, a bench still in the back, she said,“Thank good God for letting us escape.”

She said she and her husband have lived north of Flagstaff for five years and just purchased flood insurance after the wildfire. Unfortunately, the policy doesn’t take effect until next month.

The UA caters to mediocrity I could be much smarter if I actually went to a good school.

I’m constantly amazed at the oft-quoted University of Arizona 83 percent acceptance rate being presented as a good thing. Beyond the fact that most lectures destroy any and all of my self-image by insulting my intelligence, it’s hard not to marvel at the lack of intellectual quality of the students around me.

We’ve all met them: those students who wear clothing 10 sizes too large, play Farmville during lecture and think that getting smashed and making out with as many people as possible every Saturday night is a legitimate life plan. But lucky us! The UA welcomes these students and many more with open arms to join our happy Wildcat family as soon as they’ve miraculously graduated high school.

Here’s the problem: It’s not the UA’s job to cater to people who

don’t deserve to be here. It says something that we accept the same happen. By only accepting those looking to earn their degrees, we students that our very own Pac-10 sister universities don’t.

the issue. It is when we get caught up in this sort of sectionalism, this overarching regional loyalty in the stead of national allegiance that we begin to see why, despite the persistent problem, immigration reform has still eluded us on a national level.

If we as a country fail to present a clear and unified plan to combat illegal immigration and reform the system as a whole, then we forfeit any hope we have of solving the problem in a constructive manner. If we allow states, such as Arizona, to pass fundamentally flawed laws such as SB 1070 as a means of filling the void left by the lack of necessary federal reform, then the fight will always be about righting what is wrong in the present, not addressing the problems we will face in the future.

Will SB 1070 promote racial profiling in the state of Arizona? I don’t know. And despite what talking heads and politicians on both sides of the political spectrum say,

An added advantage of an inclusive university community is the opportunity to create exclusive, elite programs within it. Even — shudder — ASU has figured that out, creating smalls schools like the Barrett Honors College and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication to give students a small, exclusive home at a massive state university. The UA’s Eller College of Management, among many other programs, serves the same purpose.

With small, selective programs finding homes in large public universities, students get the best of both worlds. Without paying the hefty tuition or missing out on the excellent aspects of a large public university, they can find small, exclusive programs targeted to their needs and abilities. The larger and more diverse a student body, the more opportunities a university has to create programs suited to the needs of a vast array of students.

Plus, let’s be honest. When given the choice, I’d always choose to hang out with the riffraff over the elite. Wouldn’t you?

they don’t either. Until the law is put into action and we have time to see how it is applied, such widespread generalizations are impossible. But every moment the federal government and Arizona waste bickering over this law is time lost in the greater whole of the debate.

What this country needs — what Arizona needs — is proactive work to combat a real problem, now and into the future. The last thing anyone needs is more reactionary legislation that amounts to little more than jockeying for political capitol leading up to an election cycle. Regardless of what reforms you think need to be enacted or how politicians should go about doing that, we can all agree that a political pissing match will not solve the immigration issues this state, and this nation, face.

DUI’s and bumper stickers A University of Arizona Police Department officer pulled over a pickup truck a few minutes before midnight on Saturday, July 17 after the driver made a very wide right turn on the corner of Euclid Avenue and Sixth Street.

The officer noted signs that the driver, a UA student, had been drinking, yet she denied it. The woman refused field sobriety tests and a Tucson Police Department officer was called in to assist with a blood test.

The woman was “antagonistic and sarcastic” toward the officers and demanded that the officer repeat why she was stopped. She asked the UAPD officer if he was Republican and then implied that he had pulled her over because of a controversial bumper sticker on her car.

Agitated, the woman also told another officer to “shut the fuck up.” The woman was arrested for DUI and then released to her residence.

Includes all summer sessions

Juvenile shoplifts from bookstore A UAPD officer responded to the UofA Bookstore around 3 p.m. on Sunday, July 19 regarding a shoplifter. A 17-year-old incoming UA freshman was observed taking a pair of silver earrings from the bookstore and placing them in her back pocket.

A bookstore employee saw the act on security cameras and confronted the girl when she exited the store. The girl was cooperative and said she didn’t know why she did it, stating she was “being dumb.”

Her parents were contacted and the officer booked her into the Pima County Juvenile Detention Center until her mother could pick her up.

Job hunting or checking out the local mamacitas?

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested and booked July 16 at 9:30 a.m. for trespassing at the University Services Building after being spotted by an employee. The man had already been cited for trespassing earlier that day.

The man told the employee he needed an application for employment.

The employee said that would be OK but informed him that he would not be able to bring his shopping cart on the property.

When the employee went back into the building, she saw the man sit on the same bench he had been sleeping on earlier that day.

The employee then saw him yell “Hey mamacita” to three or four women. When the employee went to dial 911, the man left the area on foot.

A UAPD officer proceeded to look for the man and found him at Euclid Avenue and University Boulevard.

Wheelchair or not, no drinking in public A UAPD officer noticed a man in a wheelchair next to the Park Student Union on July 17 holding a brown paper bag with a drink inside. The man then took three sips from the bag.

Upon approach, the officer noticed a strong scent of alcohol accompanying the man and bag, the words “Steel Reserve” peeking out the top of the bag.

The man identified himself and when asked if he’d been drinking, said,“Do you consider one beer drinking?”

The report stated the man was very cooperative, pouring out the drink and being cited and released for drinking in public.

Cicadas: the vuvuzelas of the desert Want to view the cicada cookbook?

Tucson home to unusual variety of noisemaking insect

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT When walking around campus, one will probably notice it sounds like Tucson is sizzling. That sizzling sound is the song of a cicada insect.

“There is an Australian one I think that maybe breaks glass,”said Carl Olson, associate curator at the UA department of entomology, also known as “The Bug Man.” Olson said the insects can get very loud.

The male cicadas are usually singing to attract the females, but the ones here in Arizona may be unique to the desert climate.

“The ones that we have here that are out singing right now are the only ones we know of that might sweat,” Olson said. “All the males are singing and it allows them to cool off and sing in the hottest part of the day.”

Olson said he usually begins to hear the cicadas at the end of May and into September or October.

It might come as a surprise to know that most cicadas are singing solo.

“When you hear one, it sounds like a whole bunch, but it is usually only one,” Olson said, noting that you are likely to only find one insect per tree or bush.

According to Olson, the cicadas are able to use their sound to create an atmosphere that repels predators.

The cicadas in Tucson live in the ground for 3-5 years and live their adult lives above ground

www.newsdesk.umd.edu/pdf/cicada%20recipes.PDF

for just a few months, according to Olson.

Because the cicadas live in the ground for a relatively short period of time, Tucson has them every summer.

In other locations, cicadas live in the ground for much longer periods of time, causing a very noticeable sound when they emerge.

In Maryland in 2004, cicadas emerged after 17 years in the ground. That year, Jenna Jadin, a grad student at the Univeristy of Maryland, created a cookbook called “Cicada-Licious: Cooking and Enjoying Periodical Cicadas.”

The cookbook has recipes for cicadarhubarb pie, cicada stir fry and cicada dumplings.

The size of the cicada depends on the species, and each type of cicada has its own song.

According to Olson, the cicadas in Tucson are typically 2 to 2 1/2 inches long.

“If you go to the tropics or some other places you get some real monsters,” Olson said, noting that those cicadas could be up to 5 inches long.

“They are very efficient in how they create their sound,” Olson said. “The way they sing, they have a membrane that has ridges on it and their muscles will contract and cause that membrane to become very tight and snap back.”

Many UA students said they were not bothered by the cicada’s song.

“They are part of the desert,”said Dan Pace, a public policy senior.

In the southwestern United States, among other regions of the globe, the buzzing you hear in trees is likely the music of the cicada. The palo verde tree is the natural environment in which these buzzing critters dwell.

“I decided to sign for a living because everyone always says to find something you love as your career,” said Murtaugh. “I didn’t know what it entailed but once I started the classes, I was hooked.”

Interpreters also get the opportunity to never stop learning with their job.

“I love my job for the variety of classes we get to interpret at a university level,”Donnel said.“I like that I get to learn something new every day without having to take the exams. This is a great job for someone who is a life-long learner.”

Like any job, there are certain challenges that interpreters face.

“We pretty much have to carry anything we might need from the office around with us, such as lunch, water, all our books and folders because there usually isn’t time to go back for

Donnel and Murtaugh have also interpreted for language classes, which they say is much more difficult to sign for than a class taught in English.

“I’ve signed for a Spanish class at Pima Community College before,” said Murtaugh.

“Once we even had to do an Arabic class. That was hard, but we were mostly only interpreting what the teacher said in English.”

In addition to providing interpreters like Donnel and Murtaugh, the Disability Resource Center also offers services such as Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) machines and designated note takers.

federal powers based on explicit text in the federal Constitution.”

Some proponents of SB 1070 argue that creating state immigration policies that mirror federal laws is not usurping federal authority.

However, the authors of the draft claim that SB 1070 would interfere with federal policy if the state imprisoned an immigration violator when the federal government would have acted otherwise, or when a state law could damage diplomatic relations between the United States and a foreign country.

The draft states there is a material difference between states making arrests, and states arresting, charging, prosecuting, convicting and incarcerating.

If SB 1070 is valid, it must be due to the fact that the rise of federal immigration law somehow increased state authority on the subject, according to the draft.

The draft refers to several U.S. Supreme Court cases where the justices ruled against states creating their own immigration policies.

In Chy Lung v. Freeman, the Supreme Court declared a statute designed to keep prostitutes from immigrating to California unconstitutional. The court’s reasoning was that state policies might cause international tension.

In Hines v. Davidowitz, the Supreme Court ruled against a Pennsylvania alien registration law that duplicated federal law in some aspects. It involved many of the same federal laws that Arizona has borrowed in its current legislation, primarily parts of the Alien Registration Act of 1940.

The Supreme Court’s decision states: “(W)here the federal government … has enacted a complete scheme of regulation and has therein provided a standard for the registration of aliens, states cannot, inconsistent with the purpose of Congress, conflict or interfere with, curtail or complement, the federal law, or enforce additional or auxiliary regulation.”

Volgy said it is hard to tell what the international implications of SB 1070 will be.

Arizona law professor Jack Chin helped to author a memo on SB 1070 and the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against it.

“Some people associate Arizona with the United States and some people can differentiate between what a state does and what the federal government does on behalf of all Americans,” Volgy said. “Some people get really confused about the separation of powers and the extent of decentralization in the U.S. government, and so it really varies a lot from place to place.”

Miller said the court should take international relations into consideration in regards to the ruling.

“The position that Mexico and other countries have taken in explaining their concern with SB 1070 should inform the court as part of its determination, and was in fact an explicit part of the government’s brief,” Miller said.

Arizona football to play in pro stadium?

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT They say home is where the heart is.

For Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne, that saying may take on a whole new meaning. Byrne, in his first year in the position, confirmed that the athletics department would explore the possibility of replacing one of Arizona’s home football games in Tucson with one at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.

“I think we have to at least explore the possibility,” Byrne said.“We want to make sure we’re doing things to give us exposure in all the different markets around the state.”

Suzy Mason, associate director of athletics in charge of event management and facilities, said that while making sure to include Phoenix in the locations for a Saturday Wildcat football game is a goal of the new administration, the idea was more in the stages of a conversational topic.

“We’d be doing ourselves an injustice if we didn’t look at opportunities that reach the Phoenix metro area,”Mason said.

University of Phoenix Stadium, which is home to the 2011 BCS National Title Game and the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals, can seat up to 72,000 spectators, a venue that would reach out to Wildcat fans all around the state of Arizona.

“We wouldn’t take a football game anywhere but Phoenix,” Byrne said. “But we need people engaged and involved throughout the state of Arizona on the regular basis.”

Mason agreed that the effort to move the home game north shows a desire to connect with the alumni who can’t make it to Arizona Stadium every Saturday.

“You’ve got to go where the people are, and obviously we love the southern Arizona fans and that’s where we’re situated, but there are a lot of alums in and around the Phoenix area,” Mason said.

While the proposed switch would be a new adventure during the regular season for Wildcat fans, moving a home football game to another venue isn’t unheard of.

“We’re not starting a new trend, necessarily, in our industry, it just hasn’t been done on the West Coast as much as it’s been done in other parts,”Byrne said.“It’s happening a lot … Virginia Tech and Boise State are playing in Washington, D.C., this year. The Chick-Fil-A Bowl has a kickoff game every year in Atlanta, Virginia Tech and Alabama played there last year. Oklahoma and Texas play every year in Dallas, and Texas A&M and Arkansas play every year in Dallas.”

The desire to increase the UA’s presence in central and northern Arizona doesn’t end with the fans. The benefits increase with the ability to attract a formidable non-conference school to play at University of Phoenix Stadium, as well as more national attention in terms of recruiting.

PHOENIX

AD would expect game to sell out

continued from page 7

A game against a big-name school in an NFL stadium would certainly attract more recruits, not only in the state of Arizona, but across the nation.

But what about the southern Arizona fans? The student section? The money that the city of Tucson would lose for that one game? Would the larger stadium sell out?

Mason said the athletics department generates roughly $350,000 in profits per Arizona home football game. That money would be slightly, if not significantly, lower for this proposed move to Phoenix because of rental and venue fees the department would have to pay to even get the game at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Another factor that would have to be considered would be support. The current Zona Zoo section in Arizona Stadium seats 10,000 students. The question of just how far up the I-10 Zona Zoo’s support extends would have to be answered.

Mason said there were no known specifics of how the athletics department would compensate season ticket holders, but speculated that there would be a similar situation to the services provided for a Wildcat game against ASU in Tempe.

“The best thing we’ve got going for us on game day sometimes is Zona Zoo,”Mason said.“There’s no reason we wouldn’t do everything we could to reach out to them and (make) a marketing effort from an operational standpoint.”

University of Phoenix Stadium has 17,000 more seats available than Arizona Stadium, and unless a big-name school like Texas or Notre Dame were selected as an opponent, there would be no guarantee that the alumni presence would be enough to fill the seating void.

“We certainly would expect it to (sell out),” Bryne said.“To be quite frank, if we can’t do that then I’m not quite sure it makes sense to have the game.

“It would probably be a very rare chance we would do it every four, five or six years, something along those lines,”he added.

Then-freshman pitcher Kurt Heyer winds up during an 8-7 extra inning win against Cal State Fullerton on March 5 at Frank Sancet Stadium. Heyer was named a first-team freshman All-American after an impressive first year at Arizona.

Kurt Heyer Q&A

UA baseball pitcher named Freshman All-American

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT After posting a 7-4 record and a 3.26 ERA last season, Arizona baseball ace Kurt Heyer was named a first-team Freshman All-American by Yahoo! Sports and Baseball America earlier this month.

Heyer, who was also a first-team Pacific 10 Conference selection, set a UA freshman record for strikeouts (109) while walking only 29 batters in 102 innings pitched.

The 19-year-old right-hander was the first Arizona player to be named a freshman All-American by Baseball America since current Cleveland Indians shortstop Jason Donald earned the honor back in 2004. The Summer Wildcat caught up with Heyer to get his reaction to the honor, gauge his excitement for next season and find out his favorite movie of the summer.

What was your reaction to the Freshman AllAmerican honors?

I was pretty excited when I heard about it. I didn’t really think I was going to receive that kind of accolade. I guess my core work and performance on the mound showed and they thought I deserved it, so I was very happy that they chose me as one of the All-Americans this year.

Looking back, what do you think it was that earned you this award?

I don’t know, I want to say my consistency throughout the year. I don’t think I faltered. I was kind of going a little slower toward the end but I was still throwing strikes and everything. I was trying to keep the same mentality throughout the summer and they saw that I was doing that.

Reflecting back on your freshman year, how do you think you performed?

I thought I performed to the best of my ability. A few pitches got away from me in a couple of games but that’s baseball, you can’t do anything about it. I’m just happy my teammates backed me up when I needed them most. That really factored into how I pitched. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t have looked so good.

Did you expect to have so much success in your first year at Arizona?

I had an idea that (Andy) Lopez wanted me to be one of the starters but I didn’t expect that he wanted me to be the ace the whole year. That kind of surprised me but it all fell into place because one good outing turned into another one and it just kind of kept taking its course throughout the season.

If I would have told you before the season that you would have an All-American season, what would you have said?

I would have been pretty surprised because I hadn’t done anything yet. …You have to prove yourself before you achieve that kind of honor. It would have been nice to be told the year before, but I’m happy that I found out at the end because if I knew that I would have gotten it then I probably wouldn’t have tried as hard.

Does it give you motivation going into next season to stay at that level?

Yeah, I have set very high standards for myself this year because you never really want to settle for a good year, you want to have a better year to show everybody that you’re consistently getting better and showing that you consistently have the same desires to be better than everybody else.

What have you been up to this summer?

I’ve been just relaxing a little bit, just taking a break from pitching and everything. I was supposed to be on a summer team but my coach told me to take a break and so far I’ve just been lifting, throwing a few bullpen sessions a week and just hanging out with everybody back at home.

What do you want to improve going into next year?

I want to work on my curveball and I want to get my changeup more consistent because toward the end I couldn’t really find an out pitch and my coach told me that my curveball would be my out pitch, so I’ve been working head-over-heels on that pitch. So hopefully my work will help me perfect that pitch.

The team is super young and almost everyone is coming back. What’s the excitement like heading into next season?

It’s crazy. We’re all really excited because we know that we’re a young team.

Everybody has got some experience under their belt. We’re kind of just counting the days until that next opportunity to hit regionals because I know we have the talent, the desire, we have everything that a winning team has and we just need to put it all into play next year, Lastly, I know you’re a huge movie guy.

What’s been the best movie of the summer so far?

Best movie so far? I don’t know, really. I just saw a movie yesterday,“Inception,”but that’s not a baseball movie. I think a new movie I just saw, it was called “Sugar.” It’s a baseball movie about a Dominican baseball player trying to deal with the adversity of coming to America and trying to make it to the bigs (major leagues).

Celebrate the summer by adding three songs to your newest iTunes playlist.

1. Streetlight Manifesto’s “Keasbey Nights” is sure to get your feet tapping and your heart pumping. It’s by all accounts a ska classic and there couldn’t be a better time to get into Manifesto’s discography. The warm weather makes upbeat music like ska — defined by its quick percussion, tropical tones and brass overtures — a fun diversion from the usual Top-40 mix you hear at pool parties.

2. Regina Spektor’s “Two Birds” is a whimsical, piano-based tune that was one of the highlights of Spektor’s newest album, Far (2009). She’s carved herself a niche within the crowded world of music and she just gets better with every new contribution. Her unique vocals, tinkling piano keys and deep lyrics are the perfect complement to ocean breeze and crashing surf. Take a retrospective view while enjoying summer vacation’s most famous pastime.

3. jj’s “Things Will Never Be the Same Again” is one of the most fitting songs to put on that MP3 player while taking a warm drive down Speedway Boulevard. It makes one feel drowsy, but in a good way, not a dangerous one. The ethereal vocals will lull you into passivity while the calm island drums make the cruising feel just right. When you get home, you’ll be ready for an afternoon nap with the sun streaming through your windows.

Maps & Atlases finds Club Congress Photo courtesy of witchmondsblogspot.com

By Ashley James ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Maps & Atlases, a progressive math-rock group, is headed to Tucson to perform for the release of their newest album, Perch Patchwork, on July 23 at Club Congress.

The band formed in 2004 when Shiraz Dada, Chris Hainey, Dave Davidson and Erin Elders met at Columbia College in Chicago while attending art school. They formed a unique style that is hard to define but has gained a multitude of descriptions. When guitarist Erin Elders was asked to define the band’s music, he was momentarily stumped by the question.

“If we had to describe it as something, we would use the term progressive pop or something like that,” Elders said.

The group got their rather peculiar name from an old advertisement.“It said ‘the

Professor shares personal collection

community here.”

He was drawn to return to Tucson by the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre and the quality of staff and students who call the School of Dance at the UA their home.

After discovering the ad for his current loft on Craigslist, Nielsen moved himself and his art with him and was soon contacted to be part of a tour put on by the Tucson Museum of Art. However, after seeing the sheer amount and quality of work within his loft, the museum begged him to do a separate show.

“The purpose of art is to make you think,” Nielsen said.“So the point of this exercise is to share (the art).”

Pieces ranging from digital photography to acrylics on canvas to collections from Russia and China will fill the show. But what makes this exhibit truly unique is that in its partnership with Nielsen, the Tucson Museum of Art wanted to focus on pieces that haven’t been exhibited before.

“The fun of it will be the responses,”he said.

His passion for the contemporary always keeps him on his feet with his students, making him feel that the boundaries some of the pieces in his collection push, will evoke intense responses from those who see them.

“I don’t buy art to match the couch,” Nielsen said.“If it can hold the wall and stay interesting, that’s the test.”

nation’s biggest publisher of maps and atlases,’” Elders said.“It felt very applicable to the way we were writing (music) at the time.”

“It’s not like we have one driving influence of the album. Everyone in the band has their own influence,”Elders said. According to Elders, the influences of classic rock,‘70s bands, Motown and soul left their imprint on Maps and Atlases’style.

Maps and Atlases will debut their newest album on tour this summer. The album was created in 2009 with band members writing, composing and recording music for it.

Barsuk Records released the album on June 29, and Fat Cat Records will release it in Europe this September.

“We were able to bring in song ideas that were pretty much flushed out structurally and find the main core of the song. Then, we would start layering, taking apart, and putting it back together,” Elders said.

According to the Fat Cat Records’ website, the album is a“densely textured, exhilarating body of work that sees the band creating intricacies in songwriting”and the result of a“gorgeous, complex, slightly skewed take on pop music.”

The band will return to the desert for a night of unconventional pop-oriented music in town on July 23.

The second half of the 19th century was a turbulent time of change in Japan after Commodore Matthew Perry of the U.S. Navy forcefully ended the country’s seclusion and opened its ports to Western countries in 1853.

As a result, the Japanese population saw more foreigners, which is represented in the exhibition by Utagawa Yoshikazu’s 1861 piece, “An American Couple.”

Many Japanese patrons also sought art that presented a romantic and idyllic era or pleasurable distractions, and ukiyo-e artists were willing to provide it. Ando Hiroshige’s “The 53 Stations of the Tokaido: #46 Shono” is from a popular series of prints based on the artist’s travels along the road that connects Tokyo and Kyoto. This particular image depicts laborers running through the rain. They are hunched over and running along a diagonal that accentuates the slanted lines of rain and the trees bent by the wind. These elements create an effect of static movement. Another print of the same series,“#24 Shimada,” also zigzags its way through a landscape, but instead of the frenzy of running through rain, it shows travelers being transported across the river. By presenting the scene in a vertical format, the procession gently recedes into the mountain as if they were returning to nature.

“Pictures of The Floating World: Life in 19th Century Japan” does a wonderful job of providing an overview of Japanese life during a time of change, and it serves as a good introduction to ukiyo-e prints. Imagine how the woodblock artists would react if they saw their art on display today.

A piece from Utagawa Hiroshige II’s “Forty-Eight Famous Views of Edo,” a Japanese woodcut from the 19th century, is currently on display at the UA Museum of Art.

Tammy Bearden, a volunteer at the UA Museum of Art, admires the new exhibit “Pictures of the Floating World.”

'Floating Worlds' amaze

UA exhibit shows off Japanese artform with renowned artists

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Japanese artists who worked in the medium of woodblock prints during the 19th century might be surprised to see their work on display in modern art galleries.

Like other commercial artists, they worked on commissions that were intended for people who couldn’t afford such fine art as brushand-ink paintings, calligraphy or ceramics. It was meant to help provide a source of income for the artist and his publisher, similar to the bargain coffee table books sold through chain bookstores. These works were intended for mass consumption by a general audience.

The University of Arizona Museum of Art’s

current exhibition,“Pictures of The Floating World: Life in 19th Century Japan,”succeeds in revealing what this audience would have enjoyed and experienced in their everyday lives.

The exhibition focuses on ukiyo-e prints, a genre of woodblock prints that originally showed the transience of the human world for Buddhists but later became more secular with a positive focus on the pleasure and theater districts of the city.

Befitting this change, one of the main subjects for a ukiyo-e artist was women.

“Pictures of The Floating World” features examples of women in kimonos with strong colors and striking patterns that reflect their social standing. Keisai Eisen’s “Courtesans Along the Tokaido: Mariko: The Teahouse” shows a woman with a blue, floral patterned

kimono sitting on a bench outside a teahouse.

She looks relaxed in her S-shaped pose, with one sleeve revealing her right arm. Her body dominates the print, with nothing to distract the viewer from her clothes and form.

Ukiyo-e artists also featured famous kabuki actors of the day in their prints, displaying them similarly to a photograph on the front of People magazine. Utagawa Kunisada’s “Kataoka Ichizo I as Tagohei” showcases a renowned actor dressed up for a famous role.

The actor’s face is created with sharp, angular and simple lines while the intense hues accentuate his intense expression and his decorative kimono.

UA dance professor heads Tucson art exhibit

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Douglas Nielsen is a noted dance choreographer at the UA. He’s toured postCommunist Russia, taught ballerinas the finer points of modern dance and tutored his students — whom he calls “pre-professionals” — how to hone their passion for movement.

But his latest mission has nothing to do with dance. Rather, Nielsen is making headlines for his vast collection of art. At the Tucson Museum of Art, starting July 19 and running through October, 75 pieces of Nielsen’s 250-piece personal art collection will be on display.

“Unlike a dance, an image stays,” Nielsen said of his passion for collecting artwork.

“There’s a human reference (in my collection),” he said.“I’m really drawn to self portraits because there’s a passion, there’s an identity. There’s something that’s so apparent but something else that you’ll never really know.”

Nielsen began collecting artwork in the late 1970s when he first moved from Tucson to New York City. He danced and choreographed there while continuing to be drawn to human figures – through both dance and art.

Nielsen reflected that most of his time in New York was spent with artists and not dancers.

Since the start of his collecting days, he has

always strived to foster his inner child, a being which thrived on invention and imagination, according to Nielsen.

“A child has this instinct to create and so often that’s taught out of us,” he said.“I was always ‘too old’ for everything I did. I still am.”

Nielsen, after 25 years of dancing and touring around the globe, came back to Tucson. He remembered the spirit and originality of the town from his previous time living here, almost three decades ago.

“I love that Tucson is the blue spot in the red state,” he said.“I like the feeling of DANCE, page 9
