Reports: Gronkowski going pro By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona tight end Rob Gronkowski celebrates a touchdown in the Oct. 4, 2008 victory against the Washington Huskies at Arizona Stadium.

Rob Gronkowski, the most prolific tight end in Arizona history, will officially declare for the NFL Draft today, according to multiple reports. GOAZCATS.com and ESPN’s Joe Schad have reported that Gronkowski will go pro. The tight end will speak at a press conference in McKale Center at 11 a.m. today—the last day for draft-eligible underclassmen to declare for the draft. The junior sent a text message to the Arizona Daily Star saying “no comments,” though he responded differently to other media outlets. Gronkowski returned an Arizona Daily Wildcat phone call with a text message Thursday night that said “I will cya tomorrow at the (press conference).” The Daily Wildcat, under

need to weigh all of his options before making a decision. “I’m going to definitely look into it and look into the NFL,” Gronkowski said in a press conference in October.“You have to always look at that option — I mean, it’s there, you have to look at it, it’s a big career opportunity. But if I don’t like what I get back and all of that, I’m definitely going to come back (to Arizona). But if (the NFL) is looking solid like I would hope it to, you definitely have to look at that and weigh your options.” Gronkowski will likely shed light on the information he received from scouts over the last few months during his Friday press conference, but initial reports from 18 scouts that were polled were positive, Rob’s father Gordon Gronkowski told the Daily Star.

the assumption that the reports of Gronkowski going pro were true, responded with a text congratulating the tight end on his decision, to which Gronkowski responded,“Thanks.” The Daily Wildcat then responded with a request for further confirmation, only to receive a response from Gronkowski that said, “To be fair to all reporters I’m just gonna wait til (Friday).” Gronkowski entered Arizona as one of the most highly recruited Wildcats of the decade, and he did not disappoint. In just 22 games Gronkowski hauled in 75 catches, 1,197 yards and 16 touchdowns — all school records for a tight end. He missed his junior season because of a herniated disc in his back, which put his future in question. It was assumed that, if healthy, Gronkowski would enter the NFL Draft a year early, but, after being sidelined for the year, Gronkowski said that he would

Zach Goldberg, a UA senior majoring in finance, returned from a no limit Texas Hold ‘em game in the Bahamas early this January with $300,000.

UA senior comes home with $300,000 after winning poker tournament By Jacob Moeller ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT 21-year-old Zach Goldberg has been winning money in poker games since he was 15, but over winter break the UA senior managed to play his best hand yet, winning $300,000 at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. “I started playing poker when I was 14 with friends and my brother Ryan-for quarters. I then discovered the world of online poker and began playing there,” said Goldberg, senior finance major in

the Eller College of Management. The road to the Caribbean wasn’t always a smooth one, as Goldberg admits to a slow start: “It took me months and months of experience and losing $100 here and there to learn.” Zach did learn, and he learned pretty quickly. “When I was 15, I came in first out of 1,000 people in a $22 buy-in online that won me $4,500. That got my bankroll started and I have turned that into six-figure money before I was 18 years old.” Asked what was going through

his mind when he won $300,000, he chuckled and said, “At first I was a little disappointed when I busted out in seventh[place],but after actually receiving the money, I realized I did pretty well for my first major live tournament.” His plan for the $300,000 is a conservative one. “That’s the simple part: continue to make smart, responsible investments and continue my poker career to make more returns.” Zach has always shied away from spending money and has no

interest in fancy cars or shiny toys. Instead, Zach serves as a walking testament to the effectiveness of an Eller College education. “I would like to possibly buy some real estate as it is a great time to be a buyer in these markets.” For a man with many options, Zach is pretty sure about his goal in life. “I will always have my finance degree as a nice back-up, but I feel now is the time to take some chances to go after something I am passionate about and love,” he said.

UAccess to replace Student Link soon By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Most students know what it’s like to deal with D2L being down at inconvenient times, like the night before a term paper is due. “This is really why we wanted to say ‘Goodbye’ to our legacy systems,” said Tom Bourgeois , director of enrollment management at the UA. On Thursday, approximately 40 students got an overview of the new UAccess student version from Bourgeois and Suellyn Hull , director of payroll-disbursement services. UAccess will eventually combine the various functions provided by programs such as D2L and Student Link into one unified interface, using PeopleSoft , a systems management program. PeopleSoft is already in use at around 600 universities nationwide, including Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University. According to Bourgeois, the change was prompted by several factors, including the lack of support for outdated technology, the underpowered mainframe that serves UA, and over-reliance on additional systems, such as Student Link and Webroster, which strained the current system’s capacity. “We’re not trying to solve all of the problems of the old system,” Hull said. “Our world is too complicated for that. Understand, though, that even though the new system won’t do everything perfect initially, one day it might get there.” The transition from the old system to UAccess will take place over the course of the next year, beginning Jan. 25. Students’ demographic and biographical information will be handled through UAccess Student Center. Eventually other UA services, particularly the admissions and financial aid Web sites, will be available solely through UAccess. The new system promises to be easier to use, but Bourgeois said it will be apparent once students use UACCESS, page 5

UA student to sell bracelets for Haiti effort When pre-journalism freshman Cecelia Marshall read “Leaving Microsoft to Change the World” over winter break, she was inspired to make a small difference in the world. After the magnitude 7 earthquake hit Haiti on Jan. 12, Marshall decided that this was her chance to take action and make the change she wanted to see in the world. In an effort to aid Haiti victims,

Marshall is in the process of designing Live Strong-inspired bracelets, which she intends to sell at $2 or $3. Though she has not decided on a text, she said that “Haiti” will definitely be written on the bracelet. All the profits will go to Haiti victims, Marshall said. “At first, I wanted to just leave out a donation jar in front of my Greek house, but I felt bracelets are more

enticing for people to buy and wear around,” Marshall said. Marshall says that she has shared the fundraising idea with friends and other UA students, who said they would be supportive of the initiative. “Haiti was suffering before the earthquake and needs our attention right now,” Marshall said. Marshall contacted Elizabeth Oglesby, an assistant professor of geography and

Latin American studies, for input on which organizations to send her profits. “One is called Shelter Box. It’s very reputable for helping humanitarian victims,” Oglesby said. “I want to find a good organization that works directly with the people of Haiti,” Marshall said. Oglesby also expressed gratitude toward the Haiti initiative. “I feel proud of the UA students

A Scary Scenario

Arizona Daily Wildcat

hot off the press Johann Martinez

philosophy junior Here’s the scenario: It’s the apocalypse, and there are zombies chasing you. What do you do? What do I do? I would go to the nearest Walmart, pick up supplies and preferably hang out there. My assumption would be, other survivors would also go to the Walmart. If it’s filled with zombies there, I’d possibly just call it quits and try to go for the nearest liquor cabinet. What would be the first thing you would do if you became a zombie? Well, it all depends. Are you talking about classic 1968 “Night of the Living Dead” zombies or the new zombies that are all superhuman and strong? Let’s go with the superhuman zombies. Hmm. I would possibly try to kill a cheetah. Where are you going to find a cheetah? In America? Or are you going to fly to Africa? Well, presumably, if zombies control the United States at this point, we would have some sort of zombie airline service, so I’d preferably fly to Africa. And, if the zombies have an airline service, what would it be called? US Airways. —Katie Gault

Woman receives new windpipe through her arm

LONDON — For more than 2 1/2 years, Linda De Croock lived with constant pain from a car accident which smashed her windpipe. Today, after surgeons implanted the windpipe from a dead man into her arm, where it grew new tissue before being transplanted into her throat, she has a new one. The way doctors trained her body to accept donor tissue could yield new methods of growing or nurturing organs within patients, experts say. The technique sounds like science fiction, but De Croock says it has transformed her life. She no longer takes anti-rejection drugs. “Life before my transplant was becoming less livable all the time, with continual pain and jabbing and pricking in my throat

and windpipe,” the 54-year-old Belgian told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. Doctors at Belgium’s University Hospital Leuven implanted the donor windpipe in De Croock’s arm as a first step to get her body to accept the organ and to restart its blood supply. About 10 months later, when enough tissue had grown around it to let her stop taking the drugs, the windpipe was transferred to its proper place. Details of the case are in Thursday’s New England Journal of Medicine. “This is a major step forward for trachea transplantation,” said Dr. Pierre Delaere, the surgeon who led the team that treated De Croock. For years, De Croock lived with

the pain and discomfort of having two metal stents propping open her windpipe. She went looking for doctors who might be able to help her and found Delaere on the Internet. “I had always wondered, ‘So many things are possible, why not a new windpipe?’”De Croock said. Delaere and his colleagues, who had performed similar procedures on a smaller scale for cancer patients, agreed. Once the doctors had a suitable donor windpipe, they wrapped it in De Croock’s own tissue and implanted it into her lower left arm.There, they connected it to a large artery to re-establish the blood flow. De Croock said having a windpipe in her arm felt strange and

uncomfortable. “It was packed in with gauze and my whole arm was in plaster,” she said. “So it’s not like (I could) peel potatoes.” For about eight months, she took drugs to stop her immune system from rejecting the new organ. Though some of the tissue from the windpipe’s male donor remains, enough of De Croock’s own tissue now lines the organ that she no longer needs antirejection medicines. Patrick Warnke, a tissue-engineering expert at Bond University in Australia, who is not linked to De Croock’s case, said it was the first time a donor organ as large as the trachea was nurtured inside the recipient’s own body before being transplanted. —The Associated Press

Conference attracts record crowd

WIN TICKETS

to ‘Legally Blonde the Musical’! The Arizona Daily Wildcat has two pairs of tickets available for the opening night of “Legally Blonde”, Jan. 19, 7:30 p.m. Please answer the following questions to win them:

This weekend, a record 300 health care students and professionals will flock to the UA for the Ninth Annual Women’s Mental Health Symposium. The conference works to bring to light the mental health needs of women but is not limited to women and addresses issues affecting both genders. Nearly 20 different topics will be covered at the event with speakers discussing food’s effect on mood, self-treatment of depression with yoga and emotional differences between men and women. “There’s a topic here that relates to something that’s going to be happening in your life,”said Mary Dickinson, an administrator of professional development in psychiatry at the UA who is coordinating the event. “One way or another, one of these topics is definitely going to impact every single person,” she said. The bulk of the symposium will be the five simultaneous breakout sessions tracked to cover certain topics with professional lecturers and Q&As. The full day event will start with an award presentation for the Heroes in Women’s Mental Health, given to two Tucson women nominated for their work

in the medical field. Barbara E. Pritchard, a clinical psychologist and an associate professor at the UA, is the keynote speaker focusing on borderline personality disorders in women, a topic selected by past symposium attendees. “The symposium provides an opportunity for professionals to get exposed in terms of information that’s helpful to them in a variety of topics,”Pritchard said. She said that students in psychology, medicine or nursing would find it especially helpful. Pritchard said that this symposium is comparable to others she has participated in and that there are some notable benefits to attendance. “Instead of people who attend having to pore through research and updates, what happens is that the presenters have done that on their behalf,” she said. “They get a relatively balanced and unbiased presentation that facilitates their learning.” Dr. Victoria Maizes, executive director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine and an associate professor of clinical medicine at the UA, agrees with many of Pritchard’s assertions. Maizes, whose involvement with the symposium stretches back for years, will speak on the interplay between food and mood. “It has a broad array of impor-

tant topics … and it’s a great way to spend a day if you have an interest in this area,”Maizes said. Thirteen of the lecturers for the symposium are from the university, joining several others with professional degrees from various medical schools around the nation. The symposium works to afford various educational opportunities at intermediate levels for students and advanced levels where credits can be earned for health care professionals, said Jean Spinelli, Arizona Health Sciences Center spokesperson. In the daylong event, a continental breakfast and lunch will be served as well as research materials for speakers in the different sections, all of which is covered by admission price, Dickinson said. “We have such great experts here at the University of Arizona and they are imparting their knowledge on us at this really great conference,”said Dickinson.

The monsters of spring

UA-supported companies involved in crimes of mass destruction

t is an alarming feeling to witness one’s university directly supporting crimes of mass destruction and degradation of entire communities largely for financial benefit. Such is the stark crisis faced by the UA so long as our campus administration retains its current business relationships with Motorola and Caterpillar, two U.S. companies proven by notable religious and human rights groups to be complicit in serious international law violations in the Palestine/Israel conflict. In a letter dated Dec. 31, 2009, addressed to the student-led monitoring group, the University of Arizona Community for Human Rights, and to the faculty-based University Committee for Monitoring Labor and Human Rights Issues, the New England Conference of the United Methodist Church relayed its leading research on each Motorola and Caterpillar with regard to the companies’ involvement in the illegal military occupation of Palestine: “For years churches and human rights groups have met with Caterpillar and submitted resolutions urging it to stop providing bulldozers that demolish Palestinian homes.” “During this time,” the church states,“Caterpillar has deepened its involvement with the occupation.” The church represents 550 congregations spread throughout several New England states and, beginning in 2005, put its entire weight behind the noble conviction of its bold Resolution 204 (ratified by an overwhelming majority of 900 delegates representing five New England states), entitled “On Divesting from Companies that are Supporting in a Significant Way the Israeli Occupation of Palestinian Territories.” Describing its most recent data on the Motorola Corporation: “We thought that Motorola had

responded to our call to sever its ties with the occupation when it proceeded to sell two of its divisions this year. ... Yet we learned that in both cases key portions of these Gabriel divisions which Schivone support the occupation were COLUMNIST separated out and remain under Motorola’s control.” However, the church does not fail to provide viable modes of action for people to take in light of the above companies’ intransigence in its criminal activity — expressing their belief “that when we oppose something we should take away the money that is making it possible. Since our government has been unwilling to do that, it may be up to churches, universities, labor unions, and other groups to withdraw their support for the occupation.” The church closes its letter by wishing “the entire University of Arizona community the best as you engage in this process of discernment together.” Something tells me that we’re going to need their wishes. The proper question to ask is whether UA President Robert Shelton will “sit and think about this a lot,” as he told the Daily Wildcat he would during the too long (but ultimately successful) UA divestment campaign against the Russell Corporation last spring, or whether he will act immediately, just as many UA students did, inspired by the compelling call of shrieking injustice of the Russell affair. After all, Shelton has had nearly a year now to sit and wait and think since the UA’s egregious business practices with these two companies have been a public matter.

Counter to editorial: Gun laws a complex issue

Many months ago, I wrote an opinion that disparaged the movement to allow guns on campus. I can’t recall if the movement was for concealed carry license holders or the general public. A few weeks ago, I reread my statement and had a “what was I thinking” moment. I’ve had a slight enlightenment since then, after hanging out with a gun owner and lurking on some pro-gun blogs. It’s ill-informed to consider concealed carry license holders as arbitrary gun owners. They are quite the opposite: very sane, calm and law-abiding. A concealed carry license requires an eight-hour course taught by an authorized instructor. Obtaining a license also requires a background check with, or a variant of, seven different agencies whose specialty is the ‘background check.’ The requirements are listed on the Arizona Department of Public Safety’s website, whichdrives the point that concealed carry licenses are not given loosely. Contrary to your statements, it’s difficult to believe a concealed carry-licensed professor would divulge that they keep a gun with them or that they would keep it in obvious view, out of a safety box or leave it overnight. Your concern for accidental discharge of a firearm can be soothed since most, if not all, firearms have well-funded and patented mechanisms to prevent discharge. Licensed persons are more familiar with the specifics than I am. License holders do compliment themselves with various training and experience that expand over years and decades-not with a single safety course. I have found anecdotes and practices of quelling an aggravated situation without the gun before producing one. Last, I have found posts and anecdotes by police officers and security guards which say that they recommend carrying a gun because they are not omnipotent and it takes minutes to arrive. One story of mine is that the police took 20 minutes to show up when I called in a domestic disturbance. This should not reflect on their ability but of reality. It’s too na ï ve to say that police are readily available. I’d like to leave a final thought that I

can claim as my own rather than influence from either side: there are a lot of assumptions in the editorial and my letter. There are a lot of assumptions made on the antigun side and the pro-gun side. And that is an iceberg of a fundamental trust issue. I do not like the fear-mongering behind “guns are evil” or the fear-mongering behind “present criminals are after you.”The UA Police Department’s crime statistics list higher incidences of crime against property (auto and bike theft, criminal damage and burglary) than against persons (murder, rape, robbery and assault). And even these are circumstantial. I’m a lowly sucker for statistics at this point, and they probably don’t support gun saturation. But I understand how some people feel that once is enough since a friend of mine was robbed at his birthday party. An uzi was in his face. Knut Norstog non-degree seeking graduate student

Reader disagrees with political cartoon

In regards to the cartoon about Sarah Palin’s contract with Fox News, Jan. 13 I’m appalled. Once again the Liberal media shows its real colors. Does Sarah Palin really scare you people so much that you have to attack her at every chance you can? She’s smart, conservative, beautiful, articulate and very frightening to the Liberal left. Boo, Sarah Palin is coming for you! I’m sure she’s a better shot than anyone on your staff. Boo, Sarah’s coming! Rick Corral conservative thinker

Arizona should lead amendment movement

There is no time better than now to codify in writing the Equal Rights of Women. We have more interaction with countries and cultures that do not offer common simple respect for women, let alone protections under the law. The time has come for our nation to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment — before we have a world that is financially controlled by cultures that give no rights to women. Arizona needs to be a leader in making this happen.

Parking and Transportation will not raise fees for next year

In the coming academic year, the UA will face many financial challenges. To help alleviate some of the financial burdens shouldered by our students, faculty and staff, Parking and Transportation Services will delay the planned increase in parking permit fees for next academic year (20102011). Therefore, no increase in parking permit costs will occur during the next academic year for parking at the main campus. Delaying the parking permit fee increase does not mean that the planned increase was not necessary. An increase will still be required at some point in the future to sustain our parking and transportation programs. A sustainable campus environment is our goal; we do not want to minimize the target of decreasing the number of single occupant vehicles coming to campus. We accomplish this through managing our parking fee structure and by funding a wide variety of alternate transportation programs. To continue to move forward with a sustainable campus, parking fees must increased at a future date. The loss of additional revenue expected from the fee increase may result in some of the alternative transportation measures not occurring as soon as planned. For example, a substantial increase in the subsidy for the Sun Tran bus passes will not occur next year. Additionally, the purchase of larger Cat Tran vehicles and the expansion of the Park-N-Ride program will be delayed. While the enhancement of programs may not occur, we will not see a decrease in any of our present programs or a diminishment of customer service provided by Parking and Transportation Services. As an auxiliary, Parking and Transportation Services receives no state funding. We are reliant upon parking fees to maintain and enhance our operations and programs.

College applicants face intensifying competition The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; College applicants are facing one of the toughest years ever to gain admission to the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public colleges and universities as schools grapple with deep budget cuts and record numbers of applications. As cash-poor state governments slash budgets, colleges are capping or cutting enrollment despite a surge in applications from high school seniors, community college students and unemployed workers returning to school. The increased competition means more students will be turned away, forced to attend pricier private institutions or shut out of college altogether. Colleges that previously accepted all qualified students are becoming selective, while selective schools are becoming more so. Most community colleges have openaccess policies, but demand for classes is so intense that many students canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the courses they need. Low-income, minority students could face the roughest road to admission because they often canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford private colleges and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the resources or academic credentials to compete with students from wealthier families and better high schools, he said. The enrollment caps could also threaten President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal of making the U.S. the leader in college attainment by

2020 and undermine the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic competitiveness, college officials say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reducing enrollment when we should be increasing it,â&#x20AC;? said Scott Lay, president of the Community College League of California. Experts say states should increase access to college during a recession so that unemployed workers can train for new jobs. Competition is particularly intense in California, where public universities are dealing with huge cuts in state support that have led to sharp tuition increases, faculty furloughs, course cutbacks and student protests. The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 110 community colleges are struggling to accommodate a record 2.9 million students. The 10-campus University of California reduced enrollment of California-resident freshmen by 6 percent, or about 2,300 students, and is expected to shrink enrollment further this year even as a record number of applicants applied for admission for the fall of 2010, said Nina Robinson, UC director of student policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we continue to enroll the same number of students as we have in the past, we risk affecting the quality of education for our current students,â&#x20AC;? Robinson said. Getting into the flagship Berkeley could be harder than ever for California residents because it plans to admit more nonresident undergraduates, who pay three times more in tuition.

Arizona may shut down two-thirds of state parks The Associated Press

UA assistant professor of sociology Jeff Sallaz sits down with the Daily Wildcat to discuss his new book â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Labor of Luck.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The book, appropriately titled, is about the casino industry at home and abroad.

Faculty Q&A with Jeff Sallaz on casino book By Zach Sokolow Arizona Daily Wildcat UA assistant sociology professor Jeff Sallaz recently published a book on casinos, capitalism, and politics entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Labor of Luck.â&#x20AC;? The Daily Wildcatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Zach Sokolow sat down to discuss his research for the book. DW: Where did your inspiration for writing â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Labor of Luckâ&#x20AC;? initially evolve from? JS: I wrote the book as my dissertation thesis, while I was a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley. This was during the late 1990s and at that time in California, there was a public referendum to legalize casinos on Native American land in the state. This got me thinking about the politics of casino legalization. I wondered why Las Vegas had casinos but Phoenix didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. They are both big cities in the west but one has casinos and the other didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I noticed a trend where states and even countries (were) deciding to have casinos, versus for years casino gambling had been considered a criminal activity. DW: Could you explain â&#x20AC;&#x153;casino capitalism,â&#x20AC;? a major theme in your book and its role in the economy? JS: One of the essential points is that increasingly casinos became a development strategy for states. This could be a city, a state, or even a country. I argued that since the 1970-1980s, many states experienced a fiscal crisis. They were not bringing in enough revenue to cover your

expenses. States began to think entrepreneurially, they wanted to think of new ways to bring in revenue into their coffers. In essence, I argued that casinos and these forms of legal gambling, like lotteries became hidden forms of taxation. DW: What were some of the differences between dealers and gamblers in the United States and South Africa? JS: I had a chance to work inside a casino in Johannesburg, the economic capital of South Africa, and I discovered that the same type of games such as slot machines, blackjack, roulette are played there but the interactions between the gamblers and dealers are very different. If you go to a casino in Las Vegas, versus one in South Africa, versus one in France, you are going to discover that gambling means very different things to the people who work there, as well as the people who gamble there. DW: What was the atmosphere like in a South African casino compared to one of the Las Vegas strip? JS: The atmosphere of the casino is pretty similar, people there are attempting to make money by gambling on the games. In South Africa, one of the things I talk about is that it is a society where the politics of race are much more immediate and public than they are in the U.S. I discovered the racial dynamics between dealers and gamblers were much more explicit in South Africa.

DW: What were some obstacles you faced while collecting data for your book? JS: Money. I had to get somebody to pay for all this while I was in graduate school. I had to apply for a lot of different fellowships and scholarships. Also, there was the challenge of spending long periods of time living overseas. It was definitely a major transition to live in South Africa. I spent quite a bit of time living on a Native reservation in California, during the course of my fieldwork. I rented a little apartment on the Las Vegas strip for a while. I basically kind of felt homeless or transient for a big part of it, and so dealing with the nomadic lifestyle was challenging.

Arizona is on the verge of permanently closing more than half of its state parks to ease its budget woes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most drastic such proposal in the nation and one that could mean shutting down some iconic Old West locations. The plan would close the Tombstone Courthouse and the Yuma Territorial Prison, and shut down parks that draw tens of thousands of tourists a year such as Red Rock State Park in Sedona. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a choice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s either shut them all down right now or shut them down in phases, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re picking the ones that cost the state money,â&#x20AC;? said Reese Woodling, head of the Arizona Parks Board, which plans on Friday to take up a staff recommendation to close 13 parks by June 3. State officials closed five parks last year. If the additional closures are approved, two-thirds of

the state parks in Arizona will be shut down. Arizona is not the only place where lawmakers are targeting parks, but it is taking the most aggressive action, said Phil McNelly, executive director of the National Association of State Parks Directors. In Arizona, cities are fretting about losing the tourists who visited because of the state parks. Some communities are trying to find ways to run the parks themselves, but they too have money problems. Arizona lawmakers cut parks and other expenses last year as they tried to fill a nearly 30 percent gap between revenues and spending in a $10.7 billion budget. The budget year that begins on July 1 has similar gaps. Since last July, the Legislature has cut 61 percent of the parks departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $19.3 million budget, including taking revenue from entry, tour and event fees, as well as

camping permits and cabin rentals. The agency now needs cash to replenish the drained account so it can continue operating in the next fiscal year. Doing so requires closing most of the unprofitable parks, officials said. The proposal before the Parks Board spares some of the systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular and profitable parks, including Kartchner Caverns, Slide Rock and Lake Havasu. Parks officials hope the profitable parks can quickly replenish the raided funds and allow them to reopen other parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great interest from local communities to keep parks open,â&#x20AC;? said Arizona State Parks Director Renee Bahl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any community that comes forward with something reasonable that we can afford, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely consider it.â&#x20AC;? Woodling sees it a different way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Legislature and this governor are killing this state,â&#x20AC;? he said.

DW: How long did the entire book writing process take? JS: About seven years from start to finish, a very long process. DW: How long was your stay in South Africa? JS: I was there for two years. DW: What sort of feedback have you received from your book? JS: People have seen the book published and if you are on Amazon, then you are somebody Ââ&#x20AC;&#x201D; so I get a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw you on Amazon!â&#x20AC;? Ideally, I would like this book to sell some copies. It is hard to cross-market academic books for a more popular audience but if you are interested in casinos or politics, then this might be a book that you would enjoy to pick up.

Not long enough?

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol Jan. 7 when an officer noticed two men in a UA parking lot near the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building. The men were double-bagging a garbage bag full of extension cords. After being separated, the men were asked what they were doing with the extension cords. They said they were taking them to a recycle center on Sixth Avenue. One of the men said that he saw a man throwing away the extension cords after using them for a Super Bowl game the previous weekend. The officer responded in his report that such a game did not take place. The officer counted the cords and came up with 17 altogether: Three orange, five red, one black, and eight green. The men’s stories of how they came upon the cords did not match and a warrant was discovered for one of the men. The man was arrested and the extension cords were entered into property holding. They have yet to be claimed.

Roommate theft

Scanning

On Jan. 12, UAPD was called to the Pueblo de la Cienega Residence Hall after a resident claimed that a previous roommate stole her belongings. The woman had been removed from the dorms before winter break because of many previous violations. After getting a Facebook message from her roommate, the resident reportedly called the dorms to request that the woman not be allowed into her room unless she was there as well. The woman got to the dorms before break started and asked to be let into the room to gather some of her items she left behind. After contacting the community director supervisors and the assistant director of residential education, the community director let her into the room but told her to only take her belongings and took inventory afterwards. The log showed that the woman took an HP printer and some clothes, all of which the resident claims are hers. The woman has warrants already out for previous alcohol violations and a logged complaint with the university has been made. The case is also being reviewed by the Dean of Students.

UAPD was called to the UofA Bookstore Jan. 12 in response to a UA student shoplifting. A UA employee had the student waiting in a conference room when police arrived to question him. The student had been in the bookstore with a friend to buy an iPod. After making his purchase, he went back to look at headphones. Once he made his pick, his friend said,“Let’s do this,”and the two of them started to walk out of the store. As he was leaving, the student placed the red piece of tape used to show an item was paid for onto the headphones, and was then stopped by security. After security stopped the two of them, the friend took off and the student had to explain that it was not his intent to shoplift. The headphones were worth $74.26 and photos of them were taken along with security video. The student was informed of the University Code of Conduct and the incident was reported to the Dean of Students.

Out of gas? No problem, grab a beer

UAPD was on patrol Jan. 2 when an officer noticed a car that was stopped at a light suddenly stall. The officer got behind the car and turned on his lights while the man got out and asked for the officer to push his car out of the street. After a license plate check revealed the driver had a suspended license and a warrant out of Maricopa County Sheriff’s Department, the car was searched. The officer taking the inventory of the car found a 44-ounce Circle K Big Gulp cup open and filled three-quarters of the way with beer, three Bud Light 40-ounce glass bottles—one half full and two with only a small amount left—and an empty 32-ounce Bud Light can. Also found in the car was a steak knife in the glove box, an aluminum baseball bat behind the driver’s seat, and a “KNJ” brand handgun holster. The man was arrested and the belongings in his car were placed into property holding.

Bikes stolen from residence hall

A student called UAPD to the Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall Jan. 11 after she discovered that her bike had been stolen. She said the bike was a Gold Huffy beach cruiser with a double basket over the back tire and white fenders. The lock had been cut off the bike and then tied into a ribbon shape on the mountain bike next to it. The mountain bike also had a missing U-lock and was in the place of a different bike that had also been stolen. The student reported seeing the same thing on a couple of bikes on the other side of La Paz. The officer searched the area and found cut up bike locks and bike pieces on the ground and a fingerprint was lifted from one of the bikes and taken in for evidence.

The Associated Press CORVALLIS, Ore. — Lathen Wallace’s 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds left gave Oregon State at 67-64 victory over Arizona on Thursday night. Roeland Schaftenaar had 22 points for the Beavers (8-8, 2-2 Pacific 10 Conference), who trailed by as many as 11 in the second half after leading by 13 in the first half. Derrick Williams had 20 points for the Wildcats (8-9, 2-3). Oregon State outscored Arizona 21-7 after the Wildcats had taken a 57-46 lead on Brendon Lavender’s 3-pointer with 8:57 remaining. After Oregon State forced Arizona into a shot clock violation with 14 seconds left, Calvin Haynes found Wallace alone in the corner for the game-winning shot.

W-hoops defeats Beavers in McKale By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat Without a single shot attempt from its leading scorer in the first half, the Arizona women’s basketball team found a way to win 62-53 Thursday night against the Oregon State Beavers. Freshman Davellyn Whyte was held without a shot attempt in the first 20 minutes of the game, and the Wildcats were happy to see her net 14 points in the second half. “I’m proud of our group for coming back,” said head coach Niya Butts after letting out a long sigh of relief.“Tonight we had to come from behind, and we were able to pull it out.” Despite getting out-rebounded 38-27 in the game, Arizona (8-7, 2-3 Pacific 10 Conference) cut down on second-chance points by Oregon State (9-5, 1-3). “(Oregon State) didn’t really score off the rebounds,” said junior Soana Lucet. “We just had to keep going in transition and keep pushing the ball.” The Wildcats opened up the game with two quick buckets from Lucet, who led scoring with 18 points, shooting an impressive 7-for-12 from the field. Both teams played tug-of-war for the rest of the half with no team’s greatest lead exceeding five points.

Arizona forwards Derrick Williams and Jamelle Horne battle for a rebound in the Wildcats’ 67-64 loss to Oregon State in Gill Coliseum last night. Arizona’s four-minute, 10-second scoring drought to end the game helped the Beavers overtake UA in the last seconds.

UA head coach Sean Miller has yet to get off-track this season. Arizona’s strong wins haven’t been overhyped nor have its most disappointing losses been overwhelming. “The theme is to continue our improvement,” Miller said. “We want to continue to be that team that grows and gets better.” The Wildcats (8-9, 2-3 Pacific 10 Conference) will be in Eugene, Ore., Saturday for a duel with the Oregon Ducks (10-6, 2-2) in McArthur Court, hoping to once again win the second game of a weekend series after losing to the Oregon State Beavers 67-64 last night. “In the Pac-10 you’re really at the mercy of the schedule,” Miller said before the road trip. “We invested a great deal last week, without school, leading into the Washington State game and having a quick turnaround for Washington, you took (a day) off.” Settling into the conference schedule, Miller has become wary of overworking his players in practices, keying in on keeping them healthy and staving off fatigue. And that will give Arizona a fighting chance, assuming they improve on their execution. Patience, Miller said, is important to keep his young team from unraveling. “Being on the road in and of itself, you want your team to be patient,” he said.“You want your team to move the defense and take great shots.” “Some of our worst performances this year, some of it can be attributed to quick shots at the beginning of the game.” Against the Ducks, Miller’s offense will try to demonstrate that patience against a familiar face — Oregon’s associate head coach Mike Dunlap, the defensive guru who sat on the Arizona bench last year behind interim head coach Russ Pennell after Dunlap refused to become the PREVIEW, page 8

Icecats host defending ACHA champs and current No. 1 club By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona Icecats will face their biggest test of the season this Friday and Saturday when they take on the American Collegiate Hockey Association’s No. 1 team and defending champions Lindenwood University in a two-game series at the Tucson Convention Center. “Lindenwood is going to be a massive undertaking for us,” said associate head coach Dave Dougall. “The size is going to be there, the speed and just the precision of their passing game. We’re going to be fighting for our lives out there.” Due to the difficulty in scheduling, the Icecats have spent the majority of the season hosting middle-of-theroad Division I and II club teams from bordering states. Lindenwood (26-2) — Saint Charles, Missouri — fits neither of those molds. The Hockey Association national powerhouse won a school-record 42 games last season, including a streak of 20 in a row on their way to the program’s first ever national championship. This year has been much of the same for the Lindenwood Lions, as they opened up the season with 24 consecutive victories before dropping two games to No. 2 Ohio University. They have outscored their opponents 175-51 through 28 games and are 15-0 on the road. But the Icecats have won seven of their last nine games and have the confidence to give the nation’s best club a run for their money. “I think we can skate with any

team,” said sophomore forward Brady Lefferts.“We’ve just got to go out there from the start and just play our game the whole way through.” With that self-confidence also comes an eagerness to take on the nation’s cream of the crop. “It’s going to be something new,” added sophomore defenseman Geordy Weed.“I don’t think we’ve faced anybody else like Lindenwood yet in this league, but again, I’m always looking for a challenge and everybody else is always looking for that challenge.” Weed is right. The Icecats haven’t faced a team anywhere near the caliber of Lindenwood, but head coach Leo Golembiewski’s club has a history of coming on in the second semester, especially in recent years. If the Icecats can steal even one game from the Lions, their season of ups and downs will finally have some balance, and they will be remembered on a national scale for knocking off the nation’s most dominant team. But none of that is possible if the Icecats don’t come out of the gates with energy, intensity, and the confidence to compete for a full 60 minutes. “Basically if we start rockin’ and sockin’ right away, it lets them know, ‘Don’t judge us by our record, we’re ready to play, you better be ready as well,’ ”Weed said. “There shouldn’t be a lot of problem with the guys wanting to be ready to go,”Golembiwski added.“It’s got to be in their heart, their soul and their gut. That’s how you beat a team of that caliber.” All season long the Icecats’ coaching staff and players have stressed that, when right, this team can skate with anybody in the nation. Now is their

chance to prove it. Which Icecats team will show up: The team that was embarrassed at home against Arizona State 7-1 four games ago, or the team that surged

to five consecutive wins in midNovember and early-December? The Icecats expect the latter. “I think we’re capable of anything,” Weed said.

Track and field opens indoor season Freshmen

step into vital roles for Gymcats

By Galo Mejia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Arizona track and field team is heading to Northern Arizona University for the Lumberjack Invitational Saturday, the first indoor meet of the 2010 season. Head coach Fred Harvey said that Saturday’s meet should be a good season opener, but during a relatively short indoor season, every meet counts. “For us, we don’t have time to build into it,” Harvey said. “We have to get there — we have to hit it hard since we have very limited opportunities in terms of our indoor performances. I feel confident that the people that we’re taking to this meet are going to get things done at a high level.” Arizona will be competing against athletes from the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, NAU and a handful of unattached athletes. This will be the first competition against other schools for the Wildcats, who have been training since fall. “It feels good to start the season,” said junior long jumper Stefanos Michael. Fifth-year senior Julie Stupp is especially excited to start the season. Stupp spent her first four years at Arizona swimming but decided to come back a fifth year to run track. “I’m nervous, a little bit, but I’m going to treat it like any other race,” Stupp said. “It’s been a while so it’s going to be fun to get back to racing.” Luis Rivera-Morales, a Pacific 10 Conference champion in both the long jump and the triple jump expects to be successful in Flagstaff. He is one of two athletes to hold top-10 school marks in both events in UA history. High jumper Liz Patterson, who won the 2008 NCAA National Championship and has two national runner-up finishes in the last two years, both in the indoor and outdoor NCAA competitions, is also expected to do well. Patterson, a 6-foot senior, was also recently mentioned on the watch list for the Bowerman Award, given to the most outstanding NCAA track and field athlete. Along with seniors Patterson and RiveraMorales will be a handful of new faces. That, Harvey said, shouldn’t be an excuse. “A majority of our team is freshmen and sophomores,” Harvey said. “But we have freshmen and sophomores who can compete at Division 1 and national levels.”

and finished with 12 points, drove and banked a running jumper to give Arizona a 17-12 lead with 10:35 in the first half. The Beavers’ offense answered with a 10-0 run to erase their deficit, giving themselves a 22-17 lead. Arizona responded with an 8-0 run of their own with Lucet and Thomas accounting for all of the points to put the Wildcats back on top 25-22 with 3:04 remaining in the half. A quick 3-point play on a free throw attempt by Oregon State at the end of the half sent the teams to the locker rooms all knotted up at 29-29. Coming into the game, Arizona was aware of Oregon State’s Talisa Rhea’s ability to score. Although she scored 10 points in the first half, Arizona was able to hold Rhea to just three points in the second half and did not allow her a successful 3-point shot all game.

“My exact words before coming out of the locker room were, ‘We need to make sure (Rhea) knows that she is a part of our uniform,’ ” Butts said.“That’s how close we needed to be with her.” Whyte, who mentioned after the game how much energy it took in the first half to contain Rhea, made her first scoring appearance with a big three at 15:59 in the second half to give Arizona a 36-35 advantage. With the Beavers keying on Whyte, the door was open for players like Lucet and Thomas to take charge of the offense on a rare off-night for doubledouble threat Ify Ibekwe. Lucet knocked down a free throw with 3:19 left in the game, and followed with a pull-up jumper on the next possession that drew nothing but net, and put the Wildcats on top for good. The win bumps Arizona from eighth to a

sixth-place tie with ASU. “It feels good to win,” Lucet said. “It’s our first Pac-10 win at home and hopefully not the last.”

Up next

After losing to the Sun Devils Thursday night in Tempe, the Oregon Ducks (12-4, 3-1) will travel to Tucson Saturday to take on Arizona in a matinee at McKale Center. The Ducks feature a high-octane offense with four players averaging double-digit scoring, including three players who shoot at least 37 percent from the three-point line. “We won tonight but now we have to take Oregon on Saturday. They have two pretty good players so we got to shut them down like we did today,”Whyte said. Tip-off for Saturday’s game is set for 2 p.m.

The Arizona gymnastics team is looking to bounce back this weekend after its season-opening loss to No. 7 Arkansas as it competes against No. 12 Stanford this weekend. The No. 20 Gymcats are traveling for the second straight week but hope to change the outcome after a 195.4-192.65 loss to Arkansas. Now, the team is hoping to minimize some of the mistakes they made against the Razorbacks. Head coach Bill Ryden’s team will compete against Stanford in Palo Alto, Calif., Sunday at 3 p.m. The event can be seen via webcast on Stanford’s athletic Web site. “Our first order of business is we can’t beat ourselves,” Ryden said.“They will have the advantage of the home court, so for us, we’re just trying to not count any falls and beat ourselves. Then we’ll see about beating other teams. If we don’t beat ourselves we have a good chance to be successful.” The Gymcats are a very young team with nine underclassmen. Sarah Tomczyk is the only senior on the team. Two freshmen, Molly Quirk and Aubree Cristello, put in all-around performances at Arkansas and hope to do the same at Stanford. “I think the freshman handled the pressure really well,”Tomczyk said. “I think they did great, both of them had really good performances. They looked confident out there. They definitely showed it off and they definitely handled their own.” But Ryden stressed that the team has to mature quickly this season in order to be successful. “The freshmen are going to have to really grow up fast,” Ryden said. “We have no choice. The upperclassmen are doing a great job in helping them whenever they need it.” This season, Arizona has been depleted by several injuries. Ryden himself dealt with three key injuries in December before the season even started. Yet many of the team members are trying to perform despite nagging injuries. Ryden describes his team as a tough group of girls who just get out there and perform. “Injures are not an excuse, it just definitely provided us with some challenges,” Ryden said. “We’re not going to give up and we’re not going to use it as an excuse.” Sophomore Britnie Jones was a bright spot for the team this week. Jones was recognized by the Pacific 10 Conference for the Special Performance of the Week, earning a 9.85 on the balance beam — tied for first place for the event. “I just thought it was a really good thing for the team,”Jones said.“I know a lot of the time they focus on the higher (ranked) schools, so it was really nice to get acknowledged for the hard work we do in here.” Before the season began, Jones was injured for two months with a stress fracture in her foot. “I’m healthy now,” she said.“I just do bars and beams to make sure it doesn’t flare up again.”

Wildcats face former coach’s defense

interim leader. Dunlap has helped the team in many ways, Oregon head coach Ernie Kent said, and his defensive knowledge has helped Oregon reach an 8.5 positive point differential while holding opponents to under 44 percent shooting from the field. Likewise the Ducks average more blocks, steals and rebounds than their opponents on the year. On the offensive side of the ball, Oregon is led by a strong backcourt. Gritty 5-foot6 point guard Tajuan Porter leads the team with a 14.1 scoring average and minutes leader, sophomore Malcolm Armstead , averages 4.5 assists per contest going into last nights games. Beginning on Dec. 16, the Ducks went on a six-game winning streak. Then the Ducks fell at home to the Oregon State Beavers for the first time in 16 years. “I don’t know if we took them lightly,” said Kent. “I think the layoff hurt us. I think watching them (lose by 51 points to Seattle University) hurt us.” They didn’t get back on the winning track against ASU after losing 76-57 last night. Coming into the contest against the Wildcats, the Ducks could be starving for a win. But that depends on if the Ducks show up — such uncertainty is common in the Pac-10 this season. “The conference has gotten better since the preseason,” Kent said, “but all that means is it’s going to be more up and down depending on who’s ready to play on what night.”

GRONKOWSKI

ESPN: Tight end No. 2 in nation

continued from page 1

“Nine of them said that if Rob blows up at the combine, he’ll go first round,” the elder Gronkowski said. “The other nine said, ‘If he just does good there, we’ll take him in the second round.’ “I talked to one of the team’s doctors — someone I know from a team that needs a tight end. He said, ‘Gordie, I’m giving your kid flying colors.’“ During his press conference in October,

Gronkowski said that he would only decide to go to the NFL early if he was told he would be picked in the first or second round. The No. 2 overall tight end — according to ESPN Scouts Inc. — Todd McShay, was cleared by Los Angeles doctors on Thursday afternoon, according to GOAZCATS.com, giving Gronkowski enough time to train for the NFL Combine in February. The Draft is April 22-24.

HEART FOR HAITI

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

In recognition of the earthquake in Haiti and the resulting devastation, UA students set up a vigil on the southeast corner of Park Avenue and University Boulevard early Thursday night. Passers-by wrote messages on markers, cards and sheets of paper and left small tokens of mourning to show their condolences.

In ravaged Haiti, aid workers among the victims THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI — Haiti’s limitless poverty and hardship have long drawn aid groups and charities from across the world. Now the same people who tried to do good before the earthquake find themselves trapped in the rubble, out of touch with their loved ones and struggling to carry on their missions. The head of the Roman Catholic Church in Haiti was killed. Thirty-six United Nations workers were killed; almost 200 more were missing or trapped in their collapsed headquarters. Missionaries, students, doctors and others are missing or out of contact. “This earthquake is really too much,” the Rev. Duken Augustin, a Roman Catholic priest, wrote in an e-mail from his home in Cap Haitien, where he works for the U.S.-based Food For The Poor charity. “No (break). No chance. We will have to deal with new needs, new sufferings, new situation of hunger, new despair, new devastation.” Aid groups face a difficult balancing act: Trying to meet the unbelievable needs of the Haitian people while finding their own missing colleagues and assessing the damage to their own orphanages, clinics, shelters and kitchens. HealingHaiti.org, a Christian aid group based outside St. Paul, Minn., has only gotten trickles of information from Haiti, but this much has surfaced: One of its orphanages is damaged, the fate of another and its occupants unknown. The director of its Haiti outreach lost his home; he and his family have been sleeping in the street. An American staffer survived the quake but was trying to find his daughter. Their home for disabled children was destroyed, but there was no word on the occupants’ fates. “It’s unbelievable,” said Jeff Gacek, Healing-

Haiti’s director.“It’s literally hell on earth.” Relatives of church group members from several New Jersey churches struggled to get in touch with loved ones who arrived in Port-au-Prince just hours before the quake. A couple from Wauwatosa, Wis., who helped set up a dental clinic in Haiti’s capital has been unable to reach the dentist who runs it. Members of Highland Park United Methodist Church in Dallas learned Thursday that their 12 missionaries had left Haiti, but several had been injured. David Adams of the Christian relief agency Cross International was about 100 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince when the earthquake struck, and was trying to determine whether to ship some food from the orphanage he was in to the capital. “We have two containers with dried food, but we have to be concerned about the kids here,” Adams said. “We’re in a village with over 600 children. We can just predict from past disasters that getting food in here from the outside world or even from Port-au-Prince is going to be very hard. So we’re willing to give up some of it, but we have to be careful we keep some of it for the kids.” For most of the charities, helping Haitian victims was still the priority even with paralyzing fear about what happened to their colleagues. The International Committee of the Red Cross said a third of the country’s 9 million people may need emergency aid, a burden that would test any nation, let alone Haiti. “When something like this happens and you’re on the ground you kind of know that there’s going to be help on the way,” said Chuck Malkus of Neighbors 4 Neighbors, another group working in Haiti. “But instead of thinking about that, your immediate concern is those that you’re surrounded by every day.”

Tucson Touch: An Air Force squadron based at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base delivered more than 13,000 pounds of cargo in a Haitian relief mission Thursday.

Caitlin Dow, a nutritional science graduate student, is the study coordinator for a UA research project which investigates various rumors about grapefruits, including their role in cancer prevention and weight loss.

New research study to determine grapefruit’s ability to promote weight loss By Zach Sokolow ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT This spring, the UA’s Department of Nutritional Sciences is conducting a study to see if eating grapefruit can help people lose weight. Associate professor Cynthia Thomson and graduate student Caitlin Dow have teamed up to perform a research experiment in which 75 people between the ages of 25-50 years old will consume grapefruit daily for six weeks. The participants will complete a daily fruit and vegetable diary. They will also take blood and urine samples to show if eating grapefruit is reducing their oxidative stress levels. Dow hopes to see positive results, but there are some factors that could prevent any drastic results: “We are hoping for weight loss, but we are not controlling calorie intake so we are not necessarily expecting that we will see that. But we are expecting to see lower levels of oxidative stress and lower levels on inflammation.” The UA’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has partnered with another agriculture research university, Texas A&M. Texas A&M has people growing select crops which they want to be evaluated for health benefits. If they can prove that a fruit or vegetable has health benefits, it helps with the marketing of that fruit or vegetable. “My partnership with them has mostly been in the area of

cancer and weight control. Those are the target health outcomes they are interested in,”Thomson said about her previous work with Texas A&M. There has been one previous study on grapefruit in La Jolla, Calif., but Thomson has decided to take the study a step further. “When you go to the literature, only one paper in 2006 has done it. They gave capsules. They saw a weight loss of 3 pounds in 12 weeks. So I thought we would follow up on it. We can hypothesize what will happen,” she said. “It could be that we see nothing, or we could see a negative impact from the grapefruit.” Thomson and Dow plan on measuring the oxidative stress level for each participant before the experiment and seeing how it changes after daily consumption of grapefruit. They chose ruby red grapefruits because the darker or brighter the fruit or vegetable, the higher the antioxidant levels. “There are two molecules that are higher in ruby reds than in white grapefruit: Lycopene and Naringenin. This allows us (to) give a greater effect than if we used white grapefruit,” Dow said. Dow took Thomson’s Advanced Nutritional Sciences class after completing her undergraduate studies at Northern Arizona University. Dow said she hopes that their paper will be published in a nutritional science or food

and agriculture journal. “Dr. Thomson is a pretty incredible scientist, and she put in the grant for the study, and I think it is one of those things that has been wondered about for a long time and no one has just done a study on it. So she decided to take the initiative to look into it,” Dow said. Thomson and Dow have different roles in the hopes of proving the rumors that surround grapefruit. Thomson,the principal investigator, came up with the idea and the grant for the study. Dow does more of the interaction with the participants, creating their schedule and keeping track of the results they are receiving. They only have 28 participants at this time, falling short of their goal of 75. Due to the small number of participants, this study is considered a pilot. Thomson and Dow are unsure if there will be a followup study. Students seem interested in the results but not in being a subject. “I really love grapefruit, but I don’t think I would be willing to eat it every day for a six-week period,” said Molly Preece, a pre-education sophomore. “However, I am very curious to see if they actually can see if it promotes weight loss.” The experiment will be finished around the end of March to mid-April 2010, because that is when grapefruit goes out of season.
