UA debates campus gun bill

By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Approximately 50 students and faculty members stood up to express their views regarding guns on campus at last night’s public forum hosted by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

People gathered in the Santa Rita Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center at 7 last night.

ASUA senators and Executive Vice President Emily Fritze sat at a long, horizontal table looking out into the crowd of eager forum participants and speakers were each given three minutes.

The first speaker, Pete Gamble, urged the need for guns on campus along with gun safety classes. To further demonstrate his views, he brought a gun safety poster.

He told the crowd and senators that he was opposed to the resolution and the ban on guns on campus. Gamble is a retired

U.S. Navy and currently an National Rifle Association safety instructor.

“You need to have options at the end of your fingertips,”Gamble said.

ASUA Sen. Steven Wallace suggested hosting a public forum during last Wednesday’s ASUA meeting after several students protested the passing of a resolution opposing the proposed state Senate bill allowing teachers carrying guns on campus.

The resolution was drafted by Sen. Tyler Quillin after the state senate proposed Senate Bill 1011 to allow teachers with concealed weapons permits to bring firearms onto university campuses.

The other senators agreed they needed to hear more from students about their views regarding guns on campus.

ASUA President Chris Nagata said he hopes the senators make a decision that is representative of the student body at large since only a small fraction

of students attended.

“Creating inner dialogue is the purpose of government,” Nagata said. “The senators have a responsibility to consider the input of their constituents.”

Both sides of the issue were addressed at the forum.

Steve Peugh, a systems engineer senior, referred to the campus as a “vulnerable island.”

“Criminals understand and know the law,” Peugh said. “If you want a whole bunch of sitting ducks, come to campus.”

Peugh didn’t sign up to speak at the forum but he said it is important to educate people about the“decrease in crime statistics when firearms are present.”

Sara Button, a UA alumna and current middle school teacher said she doesn’t feel guns would increase the safety of the campus.

“Having more concealed weapons won’t necessarily help the situation,”

she said.

Paul Hunter, a theatre arts senior is also against the senate bill and in favor of passing the resolution.

“To me the Second Amendment is the reason our crime rate is so high in this country,”he said.

Josh Walden, a Reserve Officers’Training Corps student said he had been handling guns since the age of nine and is in favor of allowing teachers to have guns to better protect students. He argued it’s too easy to get on campus with a gun.

“A sign will not stop anyone from bringing a gun on campus and shooting someone,”Walden said.

James Allen, a political science sophomore argued against the bill and said that it is too risky to allow teachers to carry a weapon.

“If there is a shooting, I would love for FORUM, page 3

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will hear an informational presentation regarding the fee increase at the Student Recreation Center tonight according to Emily Fritze , executive vice president for ASUA. ASUA will meet at 5 p.m. in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center.

Juliette Moore , director of Campus Recreation and Kris Kreutz, director of Administrative Services for Campus Health plan to address the student senators for the presentation.

The Rec Center will be presenting the findings of a student survey concerning Rec Center and Campus Health Services resources, said Sen. Hillary Davidson. The Rec Center hopes to return to full staff from the fee and is seeking ASUA’s support.

Sen. James Brooks , appropriations board chair and secretary for the student services fee advisory board, oversees the consent agenda and sits on the board, which decides how much of $1.2 million is available for university clubs and organizations.

During tonight’s meeting, Brooks will review the consent agenda, which consists of requests by campus clubs and organizations asking for specific amounts of money to pay for guest speakers.

He said the consent agenda was approved without any controversy and there was nothing new or unusual to report.

The senators will once again consider passing the resolution to oppose teachers carrying guns on campus. This item on the agenda is contingent upon the outcome of last night’s public forum, hosted by ASUA allowing students and faculty to voice their opinions about guns on campus.

Poli sci majors face $400 program fee

By Jacob Moeller ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

A $400 program fee is proposed for political science majors for next fall. A public meeting was held on Tuesday in the Henry Koffler building to give students the opportunity to discuss the fee.

The School of Government and Public Policy, which houses both political science and public administration majors, held the meeting. “(We are) trying to deal with a revenue source that is decreasing, almost exponentially,”said Brint Milward, director of the School of Government and Public Policy.

The fee proposal comes during of one of the worst educational budget cuts in the program’s history.

“The $100 million (in state funding) that we lost in the last two years is the largest percentage decrease in the United States,” said Milward. “We’re doing everything in our power to find ways to decrease our reliance on state funding.”

The proposal will be reviewed by the Arizona Board of Regents in March, and, if passed, will take effect in the fall semester of 2010.

The fee will be charged only to political science majors with 60 or more credits. The fee will not affect minors.

The revenue created by the proposed fee will remain within the School of Government and Public Policy and will not be used to increase teacher salaries.

According to Milward, the fee will provide money for additional classes, career services workshops and better international opportunities.

The school estimates up to $500,000 per year in revenue, 10 percent of which will be immediately set aside to fund scholarships for students within the college.

Only two students attended the open meeting, which might have been a result of the announcement a mere 24 hours prior.

Brent Engel, a political sciences junior, asked just how many more seats would be available if the fee is approved.

“It will depend on how many people choose to major in political science,” Milward said. “The When: 5 p.m., amount of money Wednesday, Feb. 17 that comes in is a direct function of Where: Room 405, the number of peoCésar Chavez building ple who are going to major.”

Criminal justice freshman I see you have a longboard. Have you been watching the X Games?

Not really. I like the summer X Games more.

I think they’re more entertaining than the winter X Games.

Do you think you’re going to watch the Olympics this month?

Probably not. Same thing with the Winter Olympics. They’re not as good as the Summer Olympics.

Well, in the Winter Olympics, you’ve got these guys that just push things along the ice. What’s that sport called?

Curling, I think.

Yes. Curling. That doesn’t fascinate you, watching things slide on the ice?

No. I’m not Canadian.

They’re the only ones that think it’s a real sport. I’ve never met anyone who’s found that interesting.

Do you think winter sports are only for Canadians?

Or places where it gets that cold. I don’t know.

I’m from Arizona, so I’m used to the summer sports.

If you were an Olympian, either summer or winter, what sport would you play?

Probably golf.

They play golf in the Summer Olympics?

In the next one there’s going to be golf.

I had no idea. Learn something new every day.

There you go. I’m glad I could inform you.

Do you play golf often?

I haven’t since school started, but back in high school I played all the time.

What do you think of all this Tiger Woods drama?

I think it’s stupid because it’s the first bad thing that he’s done in his ten years of fame.

And I think they just blew it out of the water.

Well, to be fair, he’s probably been doing it for all ten years.

Yeah. I don’t know.

It’s the whole cheating thing. I feel like if you’re going to cheat on someone, just leave them and go be with the other person. I don’t know why he didn’t just do that.

If you were a famous golfer like Tiger Woods, what would make you infamous?

I’d probably be the asshole on the tour.

How would you be an asshole?

Get inside their heads, make them miss and mess up.

Students exit the Maneul T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center Tuesday afternoon.

Police debate use of family DNA to ID suspects DENVER — Police in at least two states are increasingly using a DNA crime-solving technique that some legal experts say amounts to guilt by association: If your brother, father, uncle or son has been in trouble with the law and is in a DNA database because of it, you, too, could fall under suspicion.

The technique is known as a “familial DNA” search, and in what is believed to be a precedent-setting case, Denver police used it to help catch the burglar who left a drop of blood on a passenger seat when he broke a car window and stole $1.40 in change.

A growing number of law enforcement agencies nationwide are considering whether to adopt the technique, which scientists say holds great promise.

“How can we look a rape victim in the

face and say, `We could have prevented your rape if we had looked at this evidence?’” said Frederick Bieber, a Harvard medical professor who co-wrote a research paper suggesting familial DNA searches could solve up to 40 percent more crimes in which DNA evidence is present.

The conventional way of using DNA to identify the perpetrator of a crime is to gather blood, semen or other genetic material at the scene and run it through a database of criminals to see if it yields an exact match. But that approach isn’t helpful if the perpetrator is not in the database.

That is where a familial DNA search comes in. It entails looking through the database for a near-match — that is, for a close male relative of the perpetrator.

Police can then use that information to

zero in on whoever committed the crime.

The legality of such searches has not been tested in court, but it may be just a matter of time. Critics complain the technique could subject innocent people to arrest or hours of interrogation.

“It makes absolutely no sense,” said Erin Murphy, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley.“Other than the misfortune of having a relative that has gotten in trouble, there’s no distinction in their likelihood of having committed a crime.”

California and Colorado are the only states to expressly allow authorities to conduct familial DNA searches of its statewide databases. Maryland has banned the practice.

NEW YORK — After rap star Lil Wayne spent months bidding farewell to his fans and his freedom, what loomed for him Tuesday was a dental chair, not a house of detention.

His sentencing in a weapons case was postponed so he could have dental surgery before going to jail.

Lil Wayne, one of music’s biggest Lil Wayne sellers and rap’s hottest stars, is now due to be sentenced on March 2. His plea deal calls for a one-year term in a city jail, though good behavior could shave that to about eight months.

The rapper — who once told TV interviewer Jimmy Kimmel that his jewel-encrusted teeth had cost him $150,000 — said nothing at a brief court session. He left in a black SUV, flanked by fellow rapper Birdman and others.

Defense lawyer Stacey Richman said Lil Wayne was headed home to Miami for dental work Friday. She declined to specify his malady.

“It is a medical situation that, like (it would for) any of us, has to be addressed,”she said outside court.

She said the rapper had planned to take care of it before Tuesday but his dentist had been out of the country doing charitable work.

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon didn’t fight the rapper’s request to push back his sentencing, saying she had spoken to the dentist.

Lil Wayne, 27, pleaded guilty in October to a charge of attempted criminal possession of a weapon, admitting he illegally had a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic gun on his tour bus in July 2007. Police found the weapon when they stopped the bus after a Manhattan concert.

The sentence comes at the peak of the rapper’s career, which netted him the best-selling album of 2008,“Tha Carter III,”a nod to his real name, Dwayne Carter.

He reinforced his place in rap’s pantheon with a commanding performance at the Grammy Awards ceremony Jan. 31. His latest album,“Rebirth,”was released two days later and was the top-selling album on iTunes last week.

He has been publicly girding for his incarceration with a series of goodbyes, including what he called a farewell tour in recent months and a recent Rolling Stone cover story in which he said he considered jail “an experience that I need to have if God’s putting me through it.”

He’s set to go on trial March 30 on felony drug possession and weapons charges in Yuma County, Ariz. That case stems from his January 2008 arrest at a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint, where authorities said they found cocaine, Ecstasy and a handgun on his tour bus.

‘Smashing’ science

By Luke Money Arizona Daily Wildcat A crowd of about 50 packed into the Cushing Street Bar & Restaurant Tuesday to participate in the latest Science Café, a series comprised of monthly talks sponsored by the Flandrau Science Center.

Tuesday’s talk, entitled “Simply Smashing: The Large Hadron Collider Ramps Up” was given

by Michael Shupe, a UA physics professor. The forum concerned his work with the Large Hadron Collider, which is a machine that accelerates and smashes particles at velocities approaching the speed of light.

“Imagine if someone took two Swiss watches and smashed them together, then looked at the smashed pieces on the ground and tried to figure out how the watches worked from that,” Shupe said. “That, in essence, is what we are doing with the collider.”

The Large Hadron Collider is an international cooperative effort of over 10,000 scientists from more than a hundred countries and universities. The collider has some local ties. The ATLAS experiment is one of six particle detector experiments currently being conducted on the Collider, and is a $1.5 billion machine that

features two parts, which were manufactured in Tucson.

“Arizona was the only group in the United States to make a major change to the design of ATLAS,” Shupe said, “and the fact that it was done right here in Tucson is really quite extraordinary.”

Shupe expressed hope that the collider, the largest such machine ever built, can expand upon the success of its predecessors, and that scientists can utilize new opportunities to shed light on previously misunderstood

aspects of the universe.

“The collider can accelerate particles to almost the speed of light, and maintain that velocity for almost ten hours,” Shupe said.“That’s enough time to get to Neptune and back. Obviously we are extremely excited about what we might discover.”

The next Science Café will take place on Tuesday, March 9, and will be held at the Cushing Street Bar & Restaurant.

AZ high school students tracked for college prep

By Matt Lewis Arizona Daily Wildcat An agreement between the Arizona Board of Regents and the Arizona Department of Education will track the number of Arizona high school students who enroll in post-secondary education nationwide.

This will help ABOR get a sense of how many students are eligible for post-secondary education and how many apply.

“There’s always been a need for this. Arizona’s never tracked it before because there’s really never been a repository for this data,” said Katie Paquet, associate executive director for public affairs and external relations for ABOR. “Education leaders around the state agree that there’s a need for this, so we’re really excited that we were able to get this done.”

ABOR partnered with the Department of Education to carry out the plan, said Donald Houde, chief information officer at the Arizona Department of Education.

They will use National Student Clearinghouse, a nonprofit organization which does degree and enrollment verification, to track Arizona high school students after they graduate.

The system will be funded by a $2.9 million investment from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

In the past, the state only tracked high school students who had gone on to an in-state public

What — System to track where Arizona high school students go to college Cost — $41,000 per year, paid for with leftover money from ABOR’s budget Data — Matched with more than 3,000 colleges Why — To measure the success of college preparedness programs ABOR President Ernest Calderón and Tom Horne, the superintendent for the Arizona Department of Education, thought the tracking system would be beneficial to expand beyond the state’s borders. “(Calderón) saw a need for there to be a comprehensive student records system to track the progress of our students,”Paquet said.

With this agreement, ABOR and the Arizona Department of Education will be able to see the number of high school students in Arizona who move on to any type of post-secondary education across the country, including trade schools and two- and fouryear public and private schools.

ABOR expects to have data from the classes of 2003 through 2008 sometime this spring and data on the class of 2009 by this summer, according to Paquet.

“This is really going to allow us to identify trends in student outcomes,” she said. “We’re not only going to be able to see where students are going, but we’re going to be able to see which students delay enrollment in college, which students drop out and later return, which students transfer from community college on to a university or what students don’t pursue a degree at all.”

Paquet added that it will also give the state“some critical insight into college preparedness efforts and maybe identify some areas where we need to focus on encouraging more students to go to college and finish their degree.”

According to Paquet, in the near future this information could become available to the public. She also said ABOR has not ruled out the possibility of tracking students who pursue post-secondary education outside the United States.

It will cost $41,000 per year for this nationwide tracking system.

ABOR is paying for that out of their budget with money leftover from the Regents Innovation Fund.

The fund comes from a proposition that was passed in 2000 which entitles ABOR to six-tenths of a cent from sales tax. The fund supports K-12 schools as well as colleges and universities.

Mixed feelings on guns

my professor to have a gun, but the risks are too high,”Allen said.“You have no idea what a teacher would do if they cracked.”

Francisco Lara, a social and behavioral science senior, argued that not enough students showed up to give their opinion and that the senators were not qualified to act on behalf of the students body.

“I think the people who showed up (tonight) tend to be more informed about the issue,” Lara said. “I’m not so sure it would be appropriate for ASUA to make a judgment because (this is) an underrepresented sample of the people who might be interested on this campus as to how this

resolution may turn out.”

Forum attendees consisted of mostly students but there were a few faculty members who spoke.

Jeremy Miranda, a UA alumni and former graduate student who taught several classes at UA said he did not feel confident in to carry a gun on campus.

“To those of you who are in favor of allowing teachers to carry guns I just want to say that first of all I really respect that you feel you have the confidence to protect the lives of those around you … and secondly I am deeply touched that you feel I have that capability,”Miranda said. “But we scholarly types are a skeptical lot … and I hope you will

forgive me if I don’t trust myself nor any of my peers to do that, we have different jobs.”

Peter Demars, an adjunct professor said he didn’t think the issue is a lack of guns on campus but rather a lack of other safety options.

“I don’t believe we have a good plan for what we do if something does happen on campus,” Demars said. “I’d rather see some direction given the faculty on what a proper response would be in the absence of a gun in the classroom.”

The resolution will go to vote again at tonight’s meeting, which will take place at 5 in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center.

On student loan reform

What’s going on:

Last fall, Democrats in Congress were all but certain they would succeed in passing an overhaul of the student loan business. The idea, which President Obama called a“no-brainer,”would allow students to borrow directly from the government through their colleges, and would replace the current system, which pays private companies to provide the loans. Supporters of the proposal say the change would end government subsidies to private lenders by eliminating the middleman and save the government $80 billion in the next decade.

The House of Representatives have already passed a version of the bill which eliminates the portion of the federal lending industry that pays private companies to provide risk-free loans that are guaranteed by the government.

As reported on the front page of Friday’s New York Times, the bill that seemed a certainty four months ago is now facing governmental roadblocks in the path to passing. After the election of Republican Scott Brown to the Senate, Democrats no longer have a filibusterproof majority, which could stop this Obama- and Democrat-supported motion from passing. Major lending companies are also mounting movements against this reform, painting the motion as hostile federal takeover that will eliminate thousands of jobs. Other Congressional concerns, like the healthcare bill, could leave this former“no-brainer” with a metaphorical lobotomy.

What it means:

Congress should do everything it can to make it easier to pay for higher education, regardless of what the big, scary private-lender lobbyists say. Eliminating the government subsidy to these loan companies and directing that money into programs for college students, such as Pell grants and scholarship programs is one effective way to save government money and for Obama to help the young population that helped get him elected.

Those who oppose the reform are concerned about federal takeover of a private industry, but this argument itself is misleading. The government guarantees the loans in the current system, while the private lenders only administrate them — for a hefty sum. As reported in a Feb. 7 editorial in the New York Times,“The subsidized program, for example, was supposed to keep loans flowing during recessions. But the loans dried up in the last credit crunch, forcing the government to rescue the program.”Colleges and universities would handle loans how Federal Pell Grants are handled now.

The only advantage to the current system, it seems, is that it’s making the private lenders rich on taxpayer money. Companies are spending billions of dollars to distort this movement into a hostile takeover and are soliciting the support of Senators in order to stop this motion from passing. As quoted in the New York Times piece, education secretary Arne Duncan said,“They’ve had a sweet deal. They’ve had this phenomenal deal that taxpayers have subsidized, and that’s a hard thing to give up.”The job of a Senator is to put the interests of the majority over the interests of the minority, or, in this case, to put the interests of the 10 million students with loans ahead of the small private companies that have been benefiting from a system that should have been reformed long ago.

Lobbyists claim students benefit from the service the private lenders provide. What would students really benefit from? A Congress that puts our interests above those of private interest groups and a student loan system that makes college as affordable and accessible to the greatest number of Americans possible.

MAILBAG This isn’t the wild west anymore In reading the paper Feb. 4, I was disturbed by the apparent level of support for the recently introduced senate bill involving guns on campus. Proponents say that the ability to carry a gun on campus will make them safer, that it will allow them to protect themselves from others carrying weapons. I have three points to make on the matter. The first is that proponents of the bill assume that on a campus where many people are carrying weapons, scenarios involving those weapons will all be of the “us vs. them,” “good vs. evil”kind. They assume it will play out like this; a “bad” person will pull out a gun, the“good”people will see, be prepared, and “silence” them with their guns. More likely I think it would lead to several people pulling out guns and an ensuing shootout with, no doubt, many screaming, frantically running bystanders in the area. Are these people who will be protecting us trained as are, let’s say, the police, to deal with a situation like this?

No, of course not. There would be innocent casualties, probably caused by both sides of the shooting. Second, what happens when other gun-carriers or the police do show up? They’ll arrive to find

several people firing at each other and not know who the instigator was. Soon you have police and several different students firing at each other. How then is that resolved? I’ll tell you. In the end, the police will either get all parties to drop their weapons, or all parties will be shot … yes, this includes the “good” people. Sounds like the plan is working so far. Third, in the case of commonplace on campus fights, have you ever known people involved in such things to use reason and judgment?

No, people lose control of their judgment when adrenaline and anger reach such levels. This is why people end up getting punched in the face, or stabbed with pencils or injured by whatever weapon is available at the time. If people are carrying guns, that will become the weapon that is available.

There’s no arguing that if people have guns, they will be used more often. Even in the socalled“wild west”you had to check your gun at the door when entering a social situation.

Parties, bars, etc. Maybe because gunfights were more commonplace, people recognized the need to separate those guns from social situations. We are so far removed from that type of society that the reasons for these precautions seem to have been forgotten by

Matthew Hart Doctoral student, philosophy

Put down the guns, Rambo

No one has ever claimed that the Second Amendment coverage ends at a campus because police and other security forces (a well-regulated militia) are the ones protected by the Second Amendment.“A Well Regulated Militia”being the key section. I’m sure that everyone thinks of himself or herself as a could-be Rambo, able to get up and fight back no matter the circumstances as long as they have a weapon in their hands but in reality, no. No one is Rambo, and having a gun doesn’t make you any safer or more able to defend yourself. If everyone has a gun, you might believe that someone with a gun won’t open fire.

Basically, you’ll be just as off-guard when those criminals decide to start shooting.

As far as my co-workers and I are concerned, these people have no sense of reason, logic, or common sense and it is really discouraging to see the same kind of thinking in a place like the UA.

suggests that women put up with cheating and being treated poorly because guys are so gosh-darn hard to come by.

The article paints a grim picture of what it’s like to be a woman in college today: “Thanks to simple laws of supply and demand, it is often the women who must assert themselves romantically or be left alone on Valentine’s Day, staring down a George Clooney movie over a half-empty pizza box.”

It’d be a real sob-fest — if this were anything more than kvetching-whilenail-painting caliber whining. The article does not mention GLBT students at all, dealing only with the struggles of straight students, just reinforcing the narrow minded perspective that creates sociological round holes that today’s square pegs don’t — and shouldn’t — fit into. If a group of dudes stayed in to watch “Ocean’s 11” and scarf down some Brooklyn Pizza, it’d be a good night to be a bro. Somehow, if a group of girls do it, it’s only because we have a Serious Social Problem on our hands.

The real problem here is not how many dates that dash, it’s that there are fewer men in college in the first place.

There are more men in the population, true, but the discrepancy is not as high as on college campuses. Though more men enter trades and join the military than women, the only change this article should inspire is a serious inquiry on why it is that women have such disproportionately higher achievement levels than men and why college is so much less accessible or available.

Hoist a mug for gender relations — we’ll be getting plastered, because this one’s wrong again.

POLICEBEAT

By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Don’t forget to call After her son did not call home that morning, a woman contacted University of Arizona Police Department on Feb. 3 at 11:48 a.m.

The woman stated that her son worked nights at a nearby restaurant and usually calls her the morning after his shift.

She said her son is a UA student and lives in a residence hall.

When she called her son’s roommate after he did not call that morning, the roommate said her son did not return to the room after working.

The officer called the roommate and was told the student had a 9 a.m. class, which he did not attend.

The mother also told the officer that her son did not have drinking or emotional problems.

At 2:15 p.m. on Feb. 3, the officer received another call from the woman, which informed him that her son called and told her that he had spent the night at a co-worker’s house and the battery on his cell phone had died.

Stolen music On Feb. 3 at 8 p.m., a UAPD officer met a UA student at parking lot 8110 at 450 N. Warren Ave. The student told the officer he had parked his car in the lot around midnight, and when he returned at 7:30 p.m., he had noticed a hole in the door, where the lock should’ve been.

The man said that all car doors were locked but that the alarm on the car was not turned on.

The only thing missing from the car was a $300 guitar.

There was no other damage to the car besides the $100 lock.

The student was issued victim’s rights for the incident.

Skateboarding may cause injuries UAPD observed a man attempting to flip his skateboard in front of the Administration building on Thursday at 3:45 p.m.

The man lost his balance on the skateboard, and the board flew to the side and almost hit a student.

The officer informed the student of UA policies about skateboarding on campus. He was also informed about potential consequences of getting caught doing tricks with his skateboard on campus again.

Personal food items taken from desk A UAPD officer responded to the Starver Heart Center at 1501 N. Campbell Ave. on Thursday at 11:39 a.m. because of reports that keys and food items had been stolen from a desk.

The officer spoke with the building manager, who claimed that keys and personal food items had been taken from a locked drawer in the lobby desk.

The woman stated that she would have ignored the incident, but the keys were to a doctor’s office, an exam room, and a conference room.

The employee whose desk it was said she was almost positive that she locked the desk at 1:20 p.m. on Feb. 2 when she left.

She also said the office is on lock down between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. everyday.

In addition to the keys, a bag of pretzels and a bag of candy are also missing.

The employee told the officer that the locks on the doors are scheduled to be changed.

Victim’s rights were mailed to the building manager.

Bad day for the bikes UAPD officers responded to numerous reports of stolen bicycles on Thursday.

A man called UAPD after he left the UA Main Library at 11:35 p.m. and noticed his blue Trek mountain bike, along with a bike lock and a light which was attached to the handlebars, were missing from the bicycle racks in front of the library.

Earlier that day at 7:15 p.m., another man called to report that his bike had been stolen from the Atmospheric Sciences building. The silver-colored Marin brand bike, worth $200, which had been secured to the racks with a U-lock, had been taken between 5:05 and 6:30 p.m.

Rear and front lights and saddlebags were also on the bicycle.

At 5:36 p.m., a woman called UAPD also to report a stolen bike. Her bicycle was taken from the racks south of the Yavapai Residence Hall.

The woman told the officer she had locked the bike up at the beginning of the spring 2010 semester and just noticed it missing. The bike was a blue beach cruiser with white rims and had been locked with a U-lock.

Taken between 9:30 a.m. and 1:45 p.m. on the same day, was a gray Schwinn mountain bike. The man reported the missing bike and said he locked the bike to the racks outside of the Harvill building with a combination cable lock.

A woman also reported her bike stolen some time between 5 p.m. on Feb. 2 and 4 p.m. on Thursday when she returned. The bike was a La Jolla aqua-colored beach cruiser with white rims, ivory handgrips and a bell on the handlebars. The bike was worth $100, and the lock was worth $20.

Each person who reported a stolen bicycle was issued victim’s rights. There are no suspects in any of the incidents.

Stoops Coming down the home stretch names UA focuses on getting back on Dykes’ track in McKale successors HOOPS NOTES

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

With seven games remaining in the season, now is the time for the Arizona basketball team to make a final postseason push.

After being swept on the road against Washington’s two state schools over the weekend, the Wildcats are still in a favorable position with five of their final seven games in McKale Center.

“We haven’t played very many games at home, so now with five of our remaining seven at home, can we take advantage of that?” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller. “We do feel the sense of urgency; this is an important stretch, no question.”

In a weak Pacific 10 Conference, in which the regular season champion is expected to be the only at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats have very little room for error in their remaining schedule.

Arizona went 5-2 against the teams remaining on its schedule and are 8-3 at home overall.

“Having five of the last seven at home is great,” said freshman forward Derrick Williams. “We have had a couple tough road loses but we want to finish off strong,” After beating California a week and a half ago in a first-place game, both Miller and his players preached the importance of moving forward despite an exciting win. But after going winless against the Huskies and Cougars over the weekend, whether the team fully moved forward is still in question.

“We just didn’t have that chip on our shoulder (against Washington State),” Photo courtesy of The Daily Evergreen said freshman forward Solomon Hill.

The best of the weekend's athletic performances

Sports writer

f a football or basketball game was free, there would be a line so long it would touch the horizon. Even now with ZonaZoo passes, students have to be turned away for tickets because games are sold out.

So now the question is this: Why is LaNelle Robson Tennis Center, a state-of-the-art facility on the northeast side of campus, always relatively quiet on Arizona tennis game day, all despite the free-admission ticket?

It shouldn’t be.

Really, it’s easy to go watch. Walk through the gate, sit down on the covered bleachers and watch competitive tennis. And it’s not as if you have to worry about any time of extreme weather — it’s Arizona.

On top of that, college tennis is not like a professional match. It’s OK to yell and scream if you want to support the Wildcats. The team does it all the time.“Let’s go ’Cats!”can always be heard from the players on the court, even when their teammates are in the middle of a point.

So far, every weekend, there seems to be a select

few who come to watch the Wildcats defend their home court. Those people return because they find an enjoyable match on the court.

But there’s only so many seats the current fans can fill.

Those bleachers can be filled with a wild ZonaZoo. “It helps our girls tremendously when people are there to cheer them on but, at the same time, it’s our job to self-motivate and play tough for the team,”said women’s head coach Vicky Maes, who played tennis at Arizona and graduated in 1999.

Recent successes and expectations should be something that can excite interested members of the student body and community. The women have the beginnings of a very promising season, especially after knocking off Intercollegiate Tennis Association then No. 4-ranked San Diego over the weekend. With that win last weekend, they have improved to 5-0.

Maes also said that as competition gets tougher, the stands start to fill up.

On the other side, the men are 2-1, with their only loss coming to Intercollegiate Tennis Association No. 19 Alabama. They have also posted a win against No. 28 Auburn and are ranked No. 23 in the nation with the potential to post one of the best seasons in men’s tennis history.

Holden had the fastest time of the evening in the Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational in the 60-meter with a time of 8.33. The time was a career best for Holden.

Tuesday was a busy day for Arizona football. Head coach Mike Stoops promoted Seth Littrell and Bill Bedenbaugh to co-offensive coordinators in addition to hiring Frank Scelfo as the quarterback coach.

Littrell came to Stoops’ staff earlier this month from Texas Tech.

Bedenbaugh has been at UA since 2007 as a running game coordinator and offensive line coach.

“I know that Bill and Seth can handle our offense and help us move forward,” Stoops said in a press release.

“And Frank brings great quarterback presence to our program. His expertise will further enhance our ability to move the football. We’ll have some dynamic collaboration on offense.”

Scelfo previously held the interim head coach position at Louisiana Tech, where former offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes took the head coaching job in January. Scelfo served for three years as the offensive coordinator and quarterback coach at Louisiana Tech.

“I’m excited about being here, with all that’s happening in Arizona football,” Scelfo said in a press release.“The program’s on an upward trend. I’m getting in at the right time.”

Pac-10 considers possible expansion THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Pacific 10 Conference commissioner Larry Scott said Tuesday that the window for expansion by the conference is open for the next year as the conference begins negotiations for a new television deal.

Speaking on a conference call to introduce former Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg as his new deputy, Scott talked about possibly adding new teams to the conference and launching a new television network.

“It is really over the next six to 12 months that we’ll start having serious analysis and serious evaluations,”Scott said.

In his less than eight months on the job, he has seen growing interest from the membership over the possibility of adding teams for the first time since Arizona and Arizona State joined the conference in 1978.

That’s what he said …

UA men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller on the possibility of a Pacific 10 Conference expansion: “I love the Pac-10, I mean, it’s a great league. The Thursday-Saturday, the partners (state schools), the true champion, you play everybody twice.”

“In so many conferences you could play a team that has five days in between their previous game and the one they’re playing. At times, you could have one or two games. Pac-10 that’s not the case. Every time that you play a team, they have the same date in between what you did. It really crowns a true champion.”

“I know that our commissioner is trying to make our conference better so if expansion is at a forefront of his thoughts I’m sure the research has talked about it something as being good for all parties.”

ATHLETE Association OF THE holds race for WEEK Golfer was ‘Superbad’ at tourney

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Rich Saferian, a senior on the Arizona men’s golf team, won the Arizona Intercolliage Tournament last week, marking the first individual win for Arizona this season. The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Saferian to discuss his play at the tournament, going pro, and his dream girl.

Daily Wildcat: How did it feel to be the individual winner (of the Arizona Intercollegiate )?

It was great to win again. I won the 2007 junior college championship. Since then, I haven’t won. That was my freshman year of college. It definitely felt good winning again.

Why Scottsdale Community College all the way from Michigan?

I wanted to go somewhere where I could play golf all year, and, coming from Michigan, you really don’t get recruited too good for golf just because it’s cold.

They’re a good school. I knew some people who went there and got opportunities to play at other places so I figured that would be a good place to start.

So it was more that you found them than they found you?

Yeah.

Did you go there with any goals about where you wanted to end up after that?

Really I wanted to end up (at UA) when I went there — either here or ASU. I heard about Rick LaRose being the coach that he is and helping a lot of people get to the next level so I figured this would be a great place.

What are your team goals for the rest of the year?

We definitely want to win, we definitely want to make it to nationals. We showed that we can play good last week, so compete

good in all of our tournaments. We want to do better than we did in the fall and hopefully get a couple of wins.

Excited for Hawaii?

Yeah it’s going to be great. We went there last year and stayed right on the ocean and it’s a fun time.

Who’s your favorite professional golfer?

Favorite professional golfer?

I’d have to say performance-wise Tiger Woods, definitely. How he can take his game to the next level when he has to and he just wins all the time.

What are your goals, golfwise, after college?

I’m going to turn pro and play on the Gateway Tour. I think is the first thing I’m going to do. Then in September (qualifying) school comes around so I’ll go to PGA tour school and hopefully make it there.

All right, we’re going to move into some of the lighter stuff.

Are you a ladies man?

Yeah, definitely (laughs).

You have a girlfriend?

No I don’t.

All right, you can pick one girl in the world to get a night with, who is it?

One girl … Megan Fox is looking pretty good. Or Mila Kunis … I saw that one movie with her in it, The Book of Eli. You have a nickname?

Uh, they call me Big Sexy (laughs).

That’s what I heard … I was hoping you wouldn’t tell me about it.

(Laughs).

You have any guilty pleasure songs or music that you listen to?

I like listening to … really when I want to relax I like listening to David Gray. It’s just kind of relaxing … he’s a singer from Ireland.

How about a guilty pleasure movie?

Um … Superbad, it’s a great movie.

largest crowd

What’s the best perk about being a golfer here?

Really all the kind of stuff we get free stuff. At the beginning of the year we got a bunch of pants, shirts, some cool shoes. We get it throughout the year too so it’s fun.

What is your least favorite thing in the world … something that just drives you crazy?

Bad drivers (laughs).

Especially the roads around here. I’m from a small town so the roads here are crazy with how many people there are.

Yeah, we have a lot of those in Tucson don’t we?

(Laughs).

Definitely.

Who would you say the weirdest person on the team is?

Weirdest person on the team? That’s a tough one. Definitely the funniest kid is Brad Nicholson . He’s just real quick and witty. Weird?

Tom Conran probably, he’s just a little goofy.

A little goofy?

(Laughs) yeah. Just things that he says and does come off the wall sometimes.

All right Rich, thanks.

Yep, not a problem.

nice for people to see that.”

The Intercollegiate Tennis Association actually hosts an“Attendance Race” ranking on its Web site, and some of the attendance figures are staggering.

Texas A&M is the school with the No. 1-ranked average attendance per game. The No. 36-ranked women top the men’s team with 525 students per match. The No. 17-ranked men averages 507 attendees per match.

Those figures are from January and February of last season.

It should be noted, however, that after the No. 1 spot in the attendance polls, there is a considerable drop-off. In the women’s category, No. 2 Baylor averages 163 fans, which pales in comparison to A&M’s first-place numbers.

Once Pacific 10 Conference games begin, Berkowitz estimated that about 100 fans come out, but during the beginning of the season, attendance is low.

“When you’re on the court and when the match is close, you get that extra energy that the crowd can give you,” said junior men’s player Borja Malo.“It’s always an incentive to play with a crowd that can support you.”

It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what creates the large difference in attendance numbers. Berkowitz said that it varies across the country, even with top-ranked teams. Maes thinks that when more success comes, the fans will follow in a “If you build it, they will come” type of theory.

“We used to be a top-5 program and, at that time, our stands were always full,”Maes said.“I feel we will bring back a lot of that as our program gets stronger and stronger.”

While neither team is in the top 5, fans should still come out because this is not the type of tennis you watch on TV. It’s as pure as tennis can get.

And if nothing else, it’s free.

The Daily Wildcat and UA Career Services are teaming up to provide Career assistance to our dynamic UA readership Megan Hamre set medical school as her goal during her freshman year and she’s done a slew of internships to position herself for success. She plans to graduate in May 2010 with a bachelor’s degree in Nutritional Sciences and minors in Exercise Science and Chemistry and she hopes to enter medical school shortly thereafter. Megan hales from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. When she first came to UA, like so many freshmen, her major was a work in progress. She said, “Medicine is still my goal. After considering both General Biology and Physiology, I decided that I wanted to pursue a degree that would give me a wide range of knowledge in many fields of science, and still incorporate human physiology.” For Megan’s complete success story go to www.career.arizona. edu, click on “News” for the articles archives and then filter (at the bottom of the page) for Success Stories.
