Spring Fling at UA causes debate STEW MCCLINTIC Arizona Daily Wildcat

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT FILE PHOTO ASUA SENATORS ARE CURRENTLY discussing the possibility of moving the Spring Fling carnival back to campus for spring 2014.

After years of planning, members of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona are pushing to bring Spring Fling back to campus for its 40th anniversary next spring.

Spring Fling has been off campus for about 10 years, which has caused lower attendance rates and lower profits for clubs, according to Katy Murray, ASUA president. The plan is to bring the event back on campus for its anniversary next year in hopes of fueling attendance and revenue, Murray said.

However, this semester, the carnival will remain offcampus at Rillito Downs Park.

Spring Fling is the largest student-run carnival, the largest club fundraiser hosted by the ASUA and the primary funding source for some clubs on campus, according to Murray.

The event is budgeted approximately $190,000

a year, according to Paige Sager, the ASUA administrative vice president, though the cost varies year to year.

Currently, there are a variety of stakeholders who have a large say in whether or not the event will be brought back to campus, including the Sam Hughes neighborhood, the Dance and Optics buildings on campus, Parking and Transportation, Risk Management and Facilities Management, among others. Murray said she is working with ASUA members to ensure all concerns are addressed.

Some of the obstacles to getting the event back on campus involve noise, cleanliness, physical space and security, Murray said.

Noise is one of the biggest concerns because the event is so loud, it could cause disruptions to classes and even in the Sam Hughes neighborhood, Murray said. She added that these concerns would

During the halftime of the UA-UCLA basketball game on Thursday night, the inventors of the Continuous Chest Compression CPR method will hold a CPR competition between students, faculty, the mayor of Tucson and cardiac arrest survivors.

ZonaZoo members will compete against Dr. Karl Kern, chief of cardiology at the UA College of Medicine and an inventor of the new CPR method, Dr. Steve Goldschmid, dean of the UA College of Medicine in Tucson, Karen Mlawsky, head of the UA Medical Center, Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, Rob Charles, a cardiac arrest survivor, and other community members to “save” a mannequin by using the continuous chest compression CPR method.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to do this and teach 14,000 people, and hopefully, since it’s on TV, a couple more people, because it’s simple to do and easy to save a life,” said Dr. Gordon Ewy, director of the UA Sarver Heart Center and also an inventor of the new method.

The halftime competition will accompany a game day campaign that urges the public to learn the new CPR method. Each attendee will receive a “Go Cats” card upon entering McKale Center that explains the three main steps of the CPR method on the back.

This is only one of the ways the Sarver Heart Center is

Before rush, Greek Life hosts info session WHITNEY BURGOYNE Arizona Daily Wildcat

An informational meeting on Thursday will give students the chance to learn about the sororities and fraternities on campus before Spring Rush officially begins.

Sorority and fraternity members will attend the informational meeting to showcase their houses.

The meeting, which will be hosted by the four governing councils

of fraternities and sororities, is aimed at students seeking to rush a fraternity or a sorority for the spring semester. Spring Rush begins Jan. 28 and will conclude Feb. 1.

All four governing councils — the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the Interfraternity Council, the United Sorority and Fraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council — will be at the informational session to provide potential rushees with

advice and information.

A sorority house usually has a set number of people, according to Ashley Lovich, president of Sigma Kappa sorority. However, because of an increase in the Panhellenic average last week from 200 to 220, this rush period will focus on increasing sorority house numbers to meet the new average and to help the community grow, Lovich said.

Following a short presentation

and question and answer session, students will be able to speak directly to members from each campus fraternity and sorority. The UFC will also present an interactive exhibition. Additionally, there will be performances of traditional stepping, strolling and saluting for those interested in participating in a multicultural fraternity or sorority.

An email from members of the IFC stated that on average,

fraternity and sorority members perform 16,000 hours of community service each semester.

Members also said that the average greek GPA is higher than the average undergraduate’s GPA .

Jeff Hurley, who is the vice president of communications for the IFC and is currently involved in Phi Gamma Delta, said that the meeting will be a

Second public forum for student unions candidate RYAN REVOCK Arizona Daily Wildcat

The second of three public forums regarding the position of Arizona Student Unions director was held at the Student Union Memorial Center on Tuesday afternoon.

The search for a new director began last summer, following the retirement of the previous director. However, the search found no eligible candidates, according to Rafael A. Meza, assistant dean of undergraduate admissions and search committee chair. An outside firm was then brought in to help with the search for a new director. Following the new search, six individuals had Skype interviews, and from those, three individuals were invited to campus to present at campus forums.

Joseph H. Pearson, the current director of the student union for Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, opened the forum by speaking about his accomplishments at Edwardsville.

One of the accomplishments he brought up was the introduction to the Edwardsville campus of “Grills Gone Wild,” which is an outdoor grill station that was created to deal with long lines that would have resulted from construction on other dining facilities on campus.

“We couldn’t afford to have two of our units down for the fall semester. We had to come up with something to deal with the lines that we were going to have,” Pearson said. “So our idea was … we use equipment we already had [and] created a concept called Grills Gone Wild.”

Pearson then spoke about his ideas for the UA, which included food trucks, smart phone applications to order food in advance for pickup at the student union and bringing a bicycle shop into the union.

“I think this [food truck] is a good opportunity.

Particularly in the climate here and the area on campus, food trucks can be successful,” Pearson said.

After Pearson covered his ideas for the UA, the forum moved on to a question and answer segment.

Todd Millay, marketing and communications manager for student affairs marketing, posed a question on the role of social media in marketing.

Pearson said that at Edwardsville, there is no longer solely a focus on traditional advertisements, but also on the use of social media in order to appeal to students.

“We were a little too aggressive on the front end,” Pearson said. “Everyone [student union services] had a Twitter account or Facebook account. Now we are trying to consolidate all of them into one so there is a consistent message coming out of the university.”

Pearson also stressed the importance of the student union on a college campus.

“My emphasis always been, the student union should be the center of campus life,” Pearson said. “Arizona has a great opportunity to become that place where students gather ... to enjoy the services and to have a great experience at the U of A.” The next meeting, which will feature Arizona Student Unions director candidate Jason Tolliver, will take place on Thursday at 3:30 in the Santa Rita Room.

Community Chatter

“That’s actually a really cool idea.

Before it was so far, but now I think it’ll bring in a lot more people. It’ll be cool for a lot of kids, who are freshmen, who don’t have cars, that they can come and have a good time too.”

— Jaime Zarraga, physiology junior

What is your opinion about Spring Fling coming back on campus for the spring of 2014?

“UA is a big part of it, so I think it should be on campus for students. I think it’ll help the attendance rates with more actual UA students going.

UA students help put it on, but I don’t think a lot of them go. If it was here, a lot more people would go because it’s right on campus. Even though there’s a shuttle, it’s a nuisance since it’s really far.”

— Andrelle Stanley, political science sophomore

“I don’t know if it would make really that much of a difference.

But I could see a lot more freshmen wanting to go. When I was a freshman, I didn’t have a car, so it was too far to go. But if it was here, you could just walk and maybe more people would want to do it.”

At the UA, a club of medical students dedicates its time and energy to reaching out to the community and offering free CPR training sessions.

Club members teach the CPR method in 30-minute sessions, using mannequins.

you the whole thing, and at the end of it, we consider you trained.”

Ewy and Kern invented the new continuous chest compression method of CPR when they found that continuous chest compression, rather than CPR accompanied with mouth-to-mouth “rescue breaths,” raised the survival rates of people who experience cardiac arrest. Not only did the new method almost double the survival rates of patients, but it also significantly raised the likelihood that a bystander will try CPR on a victim of cardiac arrest, as stated on the Sarver Heart Center website.

“This can happen to anyone at any age. It’s a skill that really everyone should know,” said Katie Maass, director of communications and public education at the Sarver Heart Center.

“

Currently, the new method has been adopted by firefighters and EMTs across the nation and continues to be taught to the public. People can learn this new CPR method by attending any of the free local trainings or watching a six-minute video online that covers all of the basic steps.

“Somebody said, ‘Well, if you’re going to make a video for YouTube, it’s got to be short, a couple minutes, got to be a little quirky,’” Ewy said. “Well, this is two old gray-haired men talking about compression-only CPR for six minutes, and we’ve had over 8 million hits.”

The video can be found on YouTube by searching “Continuous Chest Compression CPR” or on the Sarver Heart Center’s website at www.heart.arizona.edu.

UA alumni honored for achievements, dedication

Exit polls predict win for Israeli prime minister McClatchy Tribune

Briana Sanchez/arizona Daily Wildcat Two alumni members were recognized for their achievements while at the university, and since graduation, at an Alumni Awards ceremony held Tuesday.

Kelsi Thorud Arizona Daily Wildcat

Two UA alumni were recognized at the first-ever UA Student Affairs Alumni Awards Reception on Tuesday night.

Alison Levine and Lea Marquez-Peterson were honored with a UA Alumni Association award at the banquet in the Student Union Memorial Center. With a theme of “Then and Now,” the banquet featured pictures of the honorees from when they attended the UA alongside images and pamphlets highlighting the improvements the university has made since those times.

The Alumni Association honors alumni who had a strong commitment to philanthropy while students at the UA and continued that devotion to service after they graduated, into their professional lives. Levine received the Global Achievement Award for her work in international humanitarianism, while Marquez Peterson earned the Distinguished Citizen’s Award for her extensive career in civic leadership.

“It is important, institutionally, that we acknowledge and recognize alumni who are making an impact on the world. Getting alumni back, engaged, is really important,” said Carol Thompson, director of Alumni Outreach for Student Affairs. “These are incredible individuals, and we are very proud that we have the opportunity to recognize them.”

Levine was a member of Delta Gamma Sorority, the National Order of Omega and the Panhellenic Association while at the UA. She graduated in 1987. After graduation, Levine went on to work on Wall Street at Goldman Sachs. She also founded the Climb High Foundation to promote social change in developing countries by helping women find work and financial independence through jobs as trekking guides and porters on mountaineering excursions.

Levine herself is one of the most decorated woman mountaineers in the world; she was team captain of the first American Women’s Everest Expedition and accomplished the Adventure Grand Slam by climbing the Seven Summits and skiing from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole and from Antarctica to the South Pole.

Levine has provided jobs for underprivileged women and has also helped educate more than 2,000 women by helping build schools in both Nepal and Uganda. She is also currently an adjunct professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point, founder of the Consulting Firm Daredevil Strategies and a board member of Fuqua/Coach K Center on Leadership and

Ethics (COLE) at Duke University Additionally, she was featured on CNBC’s “The Future of Leadership.” Along with her extensive philanthropy and business endeavors, Levine also travels the country as a keynote speaker.

Levine’s life accomplishments have been featured in documentary films, magazines like as Oprah Magazine, National Geographic and Sports Illustrated, and on national television programs including “The Today Show” and “Good Morning America.”

During her acceptance speech, Levine gave some brief advice to students.

“Be there for people, and be willing to extend a hand and ask the question, ‘What you can do to help a situation?’ and you’d be surprised at what type of impact you can have just by asking a question here or there,” Levine said.

Marquez-Peterson, the second awardee of the night, also has a long, distinguished list of accomplishments. While at the UA, she was a member of Phi Lambda Phrateres, Chimes Honorary and the Student Union Activities Board, and she was also a student recruiter.

Upon graduation in 1992, she became involved in business development with the Shell Oil Company. Soon after, Marquez Peterson became the owner of the American Retail Corporation, and since then she has been involved in Greater Tucson Leadership, which helps educate community members on leadership, development and civic engagement. She currently owns TucsonBiz4Sale.com and is the president and CEO of the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Other awards Marquez Peterson has received include the Entrepreneurial Fellows Award from UA’s McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship and the Woman of Influence Award by Inside Tucson Business.

Her most recent accomplishment was being appointed to serve as a member of the National Women’s Business Council by President Barack Obama, and as of now she is the only Latina and only Arizonan on the council.

Marquez-Peterson’s advice to students emphasized involvement outside of the classroom.

“I learned so much beyond my academic experience from negotiation, politics, to management skills, working with volunteers, event planning and how important business connections are,” Marquez-Peterson said. “The work and activities I did during the day, on the weekends, in the evenings, was so important.”

Fresh, pretty ideas to put a little spring in your step. Free.

TEL AVIV, Israel — Israelis voted Tuesday in an election that’s widely expected to hand Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a third term, but with a coalition far less stable than one he’s enjoyed in recent years.

Early exit polls found a bloc of right-wing parties with a very slim majority of 61 or 62 seats in Israel’s 120-member Parliament, while moderate forces did better than expected.

The polls released by Israel’s three largest television stations showed Netanyahu’s right-wing coalition of the Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu parties winning 31 seats, followed by the new centrist movement, Yesh Atid, also known as “There Is a Future,” with 18 or 19 seats. The leftleaning Labor Party stood in third place with 17.

The staunchly prosettlement Jewish Home party, which had been projected to take second place in the Parliament, ended up disappointed, with only 12 seats.

Israeli news websites spoke of a “humiliating defeat for Netanyahu,” as Israel’s Army Radio ran a segment titled “The Demise of Netanyahu.”

“The polls we have seen during the elections are way, way off,” said Steven Miller, an Israeli pollster and political

analyst. “The Likud-Beiteinu is going to get far fewer seats than they wanted. He will be prime minister, but it will be a coalition that is very difficult to control, and it is unlikely to last very long.”

Miller said that several Cabinet ministers loyal to Netanyahu were unlikely to return to office, and that tempers would quickly flare within Likud over why it had failed to win the 45 to 48 seats that pollsters had predicted months ago.

“Fingers will be pointed over why the Likud didn’t run a more active campaign and address the socioeconomic concerns of voters,” said Miller. “That concern is going to ignite what will be an internal struggle in Likud and eventual internal challengers to Likud.”

The surprise winners are Yesh Atid, a centrist party founded by television personality Yair Lapid, and the Labor Party, each of which rose in the polls to 17 to 19 seats. Previous polls had them trailing the pro-settler party Habayit Hayehudi, or Jewish Home.

Israeli political analysts said Netanyahu was still likely to form a coalition with Jewish Home and Yesh Atid.

“All that matters is that Netanyahu returns as prime minister,” said Chaim Mazuz, a 42-year-old Likud Party activist.

Giffords lobby to balance the NRA NATHANIEL DRAKE Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

n a statement made to USA Today on the second anniversary of the Tucson shooting that left 6 dead and 13 others wounded, including former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Giffords and husband Mark Kelly announced that they plan to counteract the political influence the National Rifle Association has over Washington with their Americans for Responsible Solutions initiative.

On its website, the initiative promises to “encourage elected officials to stand up for solutions to prevent gun violence and protect responsible gun ownership by communicating directly with the constituents that elect them.” This initiative has the potential to level the playing field on the topic of gun violence, which would be a welcome change.

The nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation reports that the NRA spent more than $24 million during the 2012 election cycle, $16.8 million of which was spent through its political action committee, the remaining $7.5 million through its affiliated Institute for Legislative Action.

In contrast, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, one of the most vocal advocates of gun control measures, was able to muster only $5,800. The group was started by former press secretary Jim Brady and his wife Sarah after Jim was left partially paralyzed by a shot to the head during the 1981 assassination attempt of President Ronald Reagan.

The NRA doesn’t just outspend the Brady Campaign during election season. Through July 1 of last year, the NRA spent $4.4 million to lobby Congress, while the Brady Campaign spent only $60,000.

To find real, tangible solutions to an issue as complex as gun violence, the forces in Washington cannot be slanted toward a group that opposes almost all forms of gun control.

In her statement to USA Today, Giffords said, “In response to a horrific series of shootings that has sown terror in our communities, victimized tens of thousands of Americans and left one of its own bleeding and near death in a Tucson parking lot, Congress has done something quite extraordinary — nothing at all.”

We have to stop doing nothing, and the Americans for Responsible Solutions initiative may be the force that inspires a change. The group raised $1.4 million on its first day alone, and the number has continued to climb toward the group’s goal of $20 million by the 2014 election season, a number that treasurer Steve Mostyn said he believes would allow gun control advocates to compete on a level playing field with the NRA. A level playing field is even more important in light of President Barack Obama’s comprehensive plan to curb gun violence. Although the president can increase attention to mental health programs and research on gun violence, and can improve some areas of gun enforcement with executive orders alone, he needs the help of Congress to pass the rest of his plan. He aims to close gun show loopholes, ban “military style” assault weapons, limit highcapacity magazines and target guntrafficking networks.

Congress should have the ability to pursue these options and make rational decisions without fearing the NRA. The Americans for Responsible Solutions initiative is a step in the right direction that will hopefully allow Congress to have an honest and constructive debate about gun violence without being silenced by the NRA’s large budget.

School shootings: There was another shooting yesterday, at a Lone Star College campus. Fortunately, no one was killed, but the incident should still underscore the importance of the gun regulation talks going on in Washington D.C. While the passing of Obama’s gun regulation legislation may not fix the problem, it would certainly be a step in the right direction.

Same sex marriage: For the first time in American history, gay marriage was brought up in an inaugural address.

By putting Stonewall with Seneca Falls and Selma in his address, followed by a statement on the importance of equality, President Barack Obama showed that he’s dedicated to fighting for gay rights in his second term.

The Stonewall Inn was a gay bar in Manhattan that was raided by police in 1969, prompting riots and a more determined effort in the gay rights movement. Mentioning Stonewall in the same sentence as Seneca Falls, a significant site for the women’s rights movement, and Selma, a site important to the civil rights movement, Obama demonstrated that the gay rights movement is of the same importance as the civil rights and women’s rights movements.

Threats to Obama: During the inauguration there were a number of Twitter posts expressing hope that the two-term president would be shot, with one person even going so far as to say, “The only reason police would arrest someone who assassinated Obama, would be shooting a coon out of season.”

The posts remind us that just because the country has elected an African-American president doesn’t mean the fight for civil equality is over.

Maybe these people were just trying to express their disappointment at the election results, but they took it much too far.

Minority applicants: According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, there will be a significant increase in the number of minority applicants to colleges by 2020. Projections from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education show that by 2020, minority students will account for 45 percent of public high school graduates, an increase from 38 percent in 2009. The study also stated that by 2019-20, nonwhite students will account for the majority of public high school graduates in Arizona.

Winter weather: Finally, people will stop complaining on Facebook and Twitter about how cold it is outside.

With temperatures expected to be in the high to mid-70s for the rest of the week, the days of screenshots from Apple’s weather app are finally behind us.

respect for your audience. “Pass/Fail”? Pass or fail what? From what I understand, you’re not the ones handing out grades — you’re students trying to engaging your community in a reasoned debate, and you’re presenting your arguments — you’re not the judges. For that matter, no professional editorialists I know use this “pass/fail” format — please lose it, it’s a matter of tone and respect for your audience; I doubt this format is netting you any new readers).

And above all, an editorial needs to be informative. This is a newspaper, right? Just because it’s the section where you’re allowed to have a point of view, doesn’t mean you don’t still have a responsibility to tell people something they didn’t already know.

It’s a newspaper. Tell them something they don’t already know. Dig for better facts, answer real questions — don’t just horseplay around with the same tired buzzwords you hear all over the lazy-ass grownup media. Be better than that! Someone has to be.

Also, just saying “it’s about time” and “it’s time for” XYZ-climatechange isn’t actually an argument. It’s simply repetitive and cliche.

The opinions section should be the best-written section in the paper — I hope for the Wildcat’s sake that this isn’t the case here.

Police Beat MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Not all those who wander are lost but some are

A UA student was arrested on charges of minor in possession near Arizona Stadium at 11:12 p.m. on Jan. 17.

A University of Arizona police officer approached the man after seeing him “stumbling around” near the south side of the stadium.

“I’m just trying to get to Coronado,” the man said, when police asked if he was all right.

The man spoke in a “disjointed manner, had trouble balancing, watery bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of intoxicants coming from his body and breath,” a UAPD officer noted.

The student provided a California driver’s license for identification and sat to speak with police. He was younger than 21 years old.

The man said he had drank a lot “everywhere” and admitted to having consumed both beer and liquor.

An officer asked the man where he currently was, to which the man replied, “Coronado,” though he was still outside Arizona Stadium. Police then asked if the man had smoked any marijuana that night.

“Probably like half an hour ago,” the man said. “I’m just wasted. I want to go to bed.”

The student was cited and released for minor in possession and escorted to Coronado Residence Hall.

Sorry, Robin Hood

UAPD officers went to Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall in response to a report of the smell of marijuana at 12:06 a.m. on Jan. 17.

Officers knocked on the door that the smell seemed to be coming from. A student answered and consented to a search of his side of the room. His roommate wasn’t home.

UAPD didn’t find any marijuana, but did find three empty alcohol bottles and several shot glasses in the man’s closet.

Police also found an Easton backpack in the closet containing a bow and 10 arrows. The student said the items were for competitive target shooting.

UAPD told the student that weapons aren’t allowed on campus and that the items would be taken into UAPD property for safekeeping.

The student said he understood and added that he’d be able to find storage for the bow and arrows within the next few days.

Drachman disappearing act

A road bike was stolen from Roy P. Drachman Hall between 7:15 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. on Jan. 17.

A UA student reported the theft to UAPD. The bike, a GT GTR Series 3 road bike, was fastened to a southeast bike rack using a cable lock valued at about $30.

When the student returned to the bike rack at 9:15 a.m., the lock had been cut and lay on the ground. The stolen bike was valued at $800, according to the student.

The student provided a serial number to UAPD. There are currently no suspects or witnesses.

something on the floor.”

In fact, Hill plays better when he shoots the ball less.

This season, when Hill attempted more than 10 shots, which happened six times, he converted 40 percent of the time. With 10 or fewer shots, which happened 11 times, he converted on 51.1 percent.

Taking more shots generally tends to reduce field goal percentage, so a better measure might be wins and losses.

Last season, when Hill shot the ball more than 10 times, Arizona was 3-5, compared to 20-7 with 10 or fewer.

His peripheral statistics might have something to do with that.

In the last two years, in games where Hill attempted 10 or fewer shots, Hill added 5.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.25 steals per game.

“The tempo and how much you put into the game is something you can control,” Hill said. “You’re not always going to hit the shot, but you can rebound or get a stop.”

Hill doesn’t always shoot the ball, but when he does, it counts.

He might not be the most interesting man in the world, but he might be Arizona’s most important.

Arizona’s softball season is only weeks away, and the first preseason polls peg the Wildcats at No. 13. Arizona opens the season with the Kajikawa Classic on Feb. 8 against Northwestern.

The Daily Wildcat caught up with softball coach Mike Candrea, now in his 28th season as head coach of the Wildcats, who shared his early impressions of the Pac-12 and the Wildcats as a whole.

Where: McKale Center TV: ESPN2

Daily Wildcat: What teams do you see as the biggest competition for Arizona this season?

Candrea: Everyone. I think if you look at the conference, it’s very strong, so I don’t think we can take anyone lightly this season. I would rather go in respecting every opponent we play.

There are some teams that have proved themselves over the past couple of years, like Oklahoma and LSU, and the Pac-12 is a very strong conference itself. We have a very competitive schedule and will be challenged throughout the year.

Tea Party leaders Thousands seek to retire senator gather to offer prayers for US president MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — More than 2,000 people filled the National Cathedral on Tuesday to offer a prayer for President Barack Obama as he enters his second term in office.

Clergy from several Christian denominations as well as the Muslim, Jewish and Sikh traditions offered prayers as Obama sat in the front row, alongside first lady Michelle Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden.

“Strengthen the hearts of our president, Barack, and our vice president, Joseph,” Kathryn Lohre, president of the National Council of Churches, said in one of several prayers. “Make them bold for the work you have set before them. Grant them wisdom to discern your will and to consider your word among the counsels they receive.”

The nation’s 57th inauguration wrapped up Tuesday after five days of festivities. Hundreds of thousands of people packed the National Mall on Monday to watch Obama, 51, take the oath of office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol. He officially started his second term 24 hours earlier, after a brief private ceremony at the White House.

The National Prayer Service dates to the nation’s first president, George Washington, but the event traditionally has taken place at the cathedral since 1933. The Episcopal cathedral recently announced that it would begin holding same-sex weddings _ an issue that Obama championed in his inaugural address Monday.

The Rev. Adam Hamilton, senior pastor at the 16,000-member Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Leawood, Kan., called for an end to partisan fighting in Washington, singling out the debt ceiling and health care fights.

“We’re in need of a new common national vision — not one that is solely Democratic, or solely Republican,” Hamilton said. “We need at least one or two goals or dreams that Americans on both sides of the aisle can come together and say, ‘Yes! That’s what it means to be American. That’s where we need to go.’”

Hamilton concluded by directly addressing Obama. “When you feel your lowest, don’t give up,” he said. “Wait upon the Lord; he will renew your strength that you might lead us as a nation to knock holes in the darkness.”

The Obamas and the Bidens were joined by White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, several members of the president’s Cabinet and Congress, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., as well as Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts.

In the evening, the couples were attending the final event of the long inaugural weekend — a private inaugural ball at the Washington Convention Center designed to thank staffers of the campaign for their work.

with an inherited fortune.

McConnell, who has represented Kentucky since 1985, is seeking reelection next year. So far, no one has announced to challenge him. He already has a $7 million campaign war chest and the endorsement of U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a tea party darling.

Concern about McConnell by several tea party members intensified early this year after McConnell successfully brokered a fiscal cliff deal that killed planned income tax hikes on most Americans but postponed deep federal spending cuts.

Cathy Flaig, former president of the Northern Kentucky Tea Party, which covers Boone, Kenton, Campbell and Grant counties, said Tuesday her group “willingly signed” the news release issued by the United Kentucky Tea Party.

“Truth be told, most tea party members I know in Kentucky are polite to Sen. McConnell but not enthusiastic at all about him,” said Flaig. “My question is, what has he done for Kentucky?”

Campbell

FFRANKFORT, Ky. — Many of Kentucky’s “tea party’’ leaders are plotting a strategy to defeat U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell in the 2014 Republican primary, a spokesman for a group calling itself the United Kentucky Tea Party said Tuesday.

Tea party groups in the state are so dissatisfied with McConnell that “we are working on a battle plan with the ultimate goal to retire him next year,” said John T. Kemper III of Lexington, a spokesman for the group.

Kemper’s comment came a day after the group, which describes itself as a roundtable of leaders from more than a dozen tea Party proups in Kentucky, issued a news release warning McConnell that “we will not allow our message or movement to be co-opted for political purposes.”

Kemper, a developer who lost a bid for state auditor in 2011 and a bid for Congress in 2010, would not identify any potential opponent for McConnell, the Republican Senate

leader, but acknowledged that he is “probably on a short list of folks.”

Meanwhile, an out-of-state Super PAC expressed interest in helping “the right candidate” defeat McConnell.

Last year, Liberty For All spent almost $700,000 to help elect Republican Thomas Massie to Northern Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District seat.

Preston Bates, executive director of Liberty For All, said in an email Tuesday that McConnell is “anything but a tea partier” and is “that special politician who could unite libertarians, independents, anti-war Democrats, everyone” against him.

“Should the right candidate emerge — be they Republican, Democrat, or Independent — Liberty For All will remain committed to electing those dedicated to more civil liberties, more economic freedom, and freeing America from corporate influence,” Bates said.

Liberty for All is primarily funded by John Ramsey, a college student from Nacogdoches, Texas, who is armed

of sympathizing with communist China when she wore a red garment to a state dinner.

It’s difficult for female political figures to break out of the fashion mold.

What is so inspiring about our First Lady is that her fashion sense is incredibly relatable.

Though she does wear designer clothes, she also sports clothing from J. Crew and Target, which makes her style accessible to fans working with a smaller budget.

As far as brands go, her choice of Jason Wu came as something of a surprise. She has worn his designs before, but

it seemed strange that she didn’t give another designer an opportunity on this occasion. Her designer choice aside, in her ruby gown, her radiance seemed to fill the ballroom.

Michelle Obama has successfully shown the world that it is possible to be fashion-forward, proper, extremely wellspoken and intelligent.

Jackie O may have had her large sunglasses, but she sure didn’t have that ruby-toned dress. The First Lady is an icon of femininity, properness and fashion: It’s definitely now the era of the Lady in Red.

FIDLAR makes you want to break things K.C. LIBMAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

Punk rock is not dead — it just went surfing, jumped on a skateboard and railed a few lines of cocaine.

Such is the case for Los Angeles’ FIDLAR, a toothsome four-piece punk band that’s nothing short of raucous on its eponymous debut, now out on Mom Pop Records.

From the band’s acronym label FIDLAR, which stands for Fuck It Dog, Life’s A Risk, to its decidedly DIY-sounding ethos, FIDLAR is the antithesis of the mainstream pretension of the “indie” label in LA. Like Death Grips, whose don’tgive-a-fuck nature garnered it the ire of the music industry when it raised a large and noisy middle finger to major label Epic back in October, FIDLAR seems to care little about the semantics of being a household name.

That carefree approach, laced with PCP references and burnedout odes to skateboarding, is evident throughout its self-titled release.

The opening track, “Cheap Beer,” is as youthful as songs come these days, with its surf punk, single-string guitar line, brash distortion and staccato chorus of “I drink cheap beer / so what / fuck you.”

It’s a song that’s made to be sung in loud settings while drunk with friends — a recipe that’s easily lost on chillwave elevator music and trap rap anthems. Beer is made for punk rock, and punk rock is made for beer.

FIDLAR doesn’t slow down from there. Though at some times the tempo might plod a bit more than at others, like on “Max Can’t Surf ” or “Gimme Something,” it doesn’t render the album any less infectious.

However, the instrumentation is

decidedly Californian. In the vein of a hedonistic Best Coast that’s traded Bethany Cosentino for a Joan Jett incarnation, FIDLAR utilizes watery tremelo and spacey reverb to its benefit. With that style, “No Waves” wouldn’t feel out of place in a surf video, even if its lyrics embody the apathy of a teenage drug addict.

The album’s theme of rampant alcohol and drug use is abrasive at times, as there’s not a single song that doesn’t reference at least one hard drug or boozesoaked mantra, but this isn’t an album meant to be digested for its lyricism.

It’s made for sepia-toned afternoons lost in a blissed-out haze or nights where all you want to do is take shots at the bar.

FIDLAR isn’t for the faint of heart, and its stellar debut tells you as much: you either drink up and get down, or you get the hell out of the way.
