New residence halls almost complete

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The new residence halls on campus are close to completion, with a date picked to start moving in furniture.

One of the new residence halls, Árbol de la Vida, meaning tree of life, located at Tyndall Avenue and Sixth Street and set to house 719 honors students , will be “substantially complete” by the end of this month.

Another, Likins Residence Hall, located at Highland Avenue and Sixth Street with be “substantially complete” in March.

According to Jim Van Arsdel , Residence Life director, the term “substantially complete” means there will still be a few changes to make and people could get into the building if they really had to, though people probably couldn’t live in it.

Likins Hall, which began construction three months after Árbol de la Vida, can house 369 students and is named after former UA President Peter Likins .

Furnishing will begin on April 11 when approximately 25 semi-trucks will bring in student room furniture.

Both halls have subtle themes running throughout.

Likins Hall has a river theme due to the fact that runoff water used to flow through the area where the hall now rests, a problem Van Arsdel said

they have hopefully fixed. The shape of Likins is modeled after the path the water used to follow. Árbol de la Vida is a five-

building complex with two themes. One is of a slot canyon, which can be seen both through the complex’s shape as well as on the faux copper paneling

that has a picture of a slot canyon on it. The second is a tree theme. The complex’s lobby is lined with glass. The front of the glass is etched with what,

from far away, looks like trees.

As onlookers get closer to the glass they will be able to see that the trees are actually made HALLS, page 3

UA starts health survey

Professor conducts a cleanliness study on men’s and women’s homes

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT If you had to venture a guess as to whose apartments would be dirtier, men or women, many people would say men.

And they’d be right — to a point — with a new UA study just in time for Valentine’s Day. Thirty bachelors and 30 bachelorettes had 100-square centimeter portions of four surfaces from their homes tested — the front doorknob, the top of the night stand, the remote con-

Gerba said. Women’s offices were dirtier in his previous study, due to the fact that 70 percent of women store food in their desk as compared to 50 percent of men, and most food that women store is biodegradable, such as apples or cupcakes.

But at home, the story was much different.

Some bachelor pads carry more than 15 times the bacterial amount than those

Campus Health Service’s annual Health and Wellness Survey begins today.

Since 1992 , the Health Promotion and Preventive Services has been surveying UA students on a range of topics such as drugs, nutrition, sexual health, violence and sleep. Last spring, 2,931 students participated in the survey, according to David Salafsky, the director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health .

“It’s probably the best snapshot of health and wellness among U of A students here at the university,” he said.

Peggy Glider, the coordinator for Evaluation and Research at Campus Health, will lead the evaluation efforts and coordinate the process for administering the survey. The survey will not be produced online because, more often, students who complete it online are those who already practice a healthy lifestyle, Salafsky said.

“We kind of do this the oldfashioned way, by going out to the classrooms,” he said. “The reason why we do that is we feel we get a better response.”

The survey takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete and the results are used to give people an idea of the trends over time.

It is beneficial to know whether the rates are changing and if things are moving in the right direction, he said.

After evaluation of the results, programs can be implemented

UA&E

Unless you’re a Bieber maniac, never see ‘Never’

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT At the beginning of Justin Bieber ’s first, and hopefully only, musical biopic “Never Say Never” a Harkins Theatre employee told audience members that this was not a “regular movie.”

And boy, was he right.

Regular movies include a plot, meaningful character development, conflict and resolution.

This movie includes countless teeming masses of shrieking prepubescent shrews, less but infinitely more disturbing masses of shrieking post-pubescent shrews, and not one, but two slow motion Bieber hair flips.

In short, “Never Say Never” resists any sort of meaning, intrigue or impact.

It instead chooses to substitute pointless cameos and distressingly copious amounts of teenage gyration.

Now, that might be fine for a music video running about five minutes. But that’s not the case. “Never Say Never” clocks in at 105 minutes — only four minutes shorter than Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” three minutes longer than “Casablanca,” and a whopping 10 minutes longer than “Dr. Strangelove.” I could continue, but let’s face it: Either way you slice it, 105 minutes for a movie that has roughly two minutes of total plot is pretty darn impressive.

Wait, that’s not right. What’s the opposite of impressive?

The basic story for the film is that Justin Bieber is a young, admittedly talented musician who picks himself up off the

mean streets of Canada to live out his dream as a gratingly annoying, disturbingly androgynous teen idol. Far and away the best parts of the movie are the home videos of the Biebs performing as a child.

The infant Canuck’s talent is prodigious.

I would question why there is so much home footage of him performing if his family never knew he would be famous, but such pointless paranoia borders on “Obama forged his birth certificate so he could run for president one day” territory.

The movie transitions from talking about young Bieber, who, strangely enough, looks older as an infant than he does now, to showing his preparation for a show at Madison Square Garden.

Camera crews follow Bieber for 10 days’ worth of shows and hilarious antics (sarcasm) leading up to his big moment in the spotlight.

This includes his battle with vocal chord swelling that might, gasp, make him miss his show.

Oh, no! Except, wait. They wouldn’t make a movie leading up to the show if he was forced to cancel it, so this subplot is entirely useless.

Thanks, movie, I want my 20 minutes back.

This movie is obviously geared toward people who like Justin Bieber’s music, not those expecting anything close to a satisfying cinematic experience.

Every film has an intended audience. But to exploit that audience’s boundless obsession without offering anything new is as wrong as the 20-something women who feel the need

to explain that their all-encompassing love for Bieber is completely nonsexual, something that happens twice in the film.

While it is true I was inoculated against Bieber Fever long ago, the only point of making a movie is if you have a compelling tale to portray. For instance, Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” was a truly insightful look into the psyche of one of America’s most beloved artists, whereas “Never Say Never” is a cheap cash-in that scarcely tries to hide its exploitative nature.

There is an easy explanation for why Jackson’s film was much more satisfying than Bieber’s: Michael Jackson didn’t make a movie when he was 16 years old.

I don’t care how famous you are, or how much everyone loves you; there is virtually no one in the history of the world that has done enough by age 16 to justify having a feature film made about them. Prince Edward VI, King Tut, and Justin Timberlake notwithstanding.

Perhaps Bieber is truly the next great thing in pop music. Perhaps he will have a Jacksonesque existence where he transcends the boundaries of modern music to forge something wholly new that forever changes the landscape of entertainment. Perhaps he will change his

ridiculous hair. But the fact of the matter is he hasn’t yet, and he sure as hell hasn’t done anything in his 16 years of life to merit his own feature film, or to merit the expenditure of the money you earned through much more worthwhile endeavors in order to see it.

Campus IT works to keep smart The Arizona Daily Wildcat phones functional as their use grows Monday

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Earlier this month, the University Information Technology Services introduced additional Google services to CatMail accounts.

The university’s 24/7 help center sees the most concerns when it comes to smart phone support and the email service.

Two-thirds of undergraduate students own an Internet-capable handheld device, and about half of those said they use Internet from their device daily. Last year, the number of students using the Internet daily was only a third, according to a 2010 study by Educause, a nonprofit association focused on improving information technology.

More than 80 percent of those students that utilize their Internetcapable device daily use it to check news, weather, sports and specific facts, according to the same study.

The same amount use it to send and receive emails.

But smart phone technology support accounts for 10 percent or less of the problems addressed by the UA’s 24/7 IT Support Center in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center, according to Chris

Sustainability is also emphasized in both halls.

“We want to have kind of a demonstration for students and anyone else who is interested,” Van Arsdel said.

The halls will have thermostats in student rooms that can sense when people are present and adjust the heat or air conditioning accordingly. There will also be green outlets, which are literally green so students can tell the difference, that turn off when a student leaves the room.

In the two rooms will be two tables with outlets, which allow up to six students to sit around two television screens to see what everyone is doing, allowing for collaborative work, according to Van Arsdel. These types of tables were first tested in Posada San Pedro Residence Hall. Árbol de la Vida will also have video conferencing set up, something Van Arsdel hopes will allow classes to be taught in the building and allow students to connect with other classrooms and students internationally. Van Arsdel anticipates video conferencing being able to accommodate around a dozen students.

Accessing classroom responder software on smart phones could account for some students wanting to access UA WiFi from their phones, but most service requests come from trying to have CatMail update to their phones, Moser said. CatMail requires a secondary password for access.

“It helps that the CatMail service is Gmail,” Moser said, stating that user problems are handled by their office, but account problems are handled by Google, with response times coming in around one day. The service is so widely utilized, it is easier for students to help themselves with their own smart phone issues.

Mathias said there are applications to access from smart phones in the future, including Desire2Learn services.

The center hasn’t had any UAccessrelated concerns from mobile phones or for smart phone viruses.

“As more apps become available, the volume will increase (virus-wise),” Mathias said. “And with those new apps, will come more need for support.”

But Mathias said they still see more people bring in desktop towers than smart phones to the support center.

bring students together. Hallways have an hourglass shape allowing ends of hallways to become gathering places. Student rooms are also closely situated together creating a “porch-like” effect and giving everyone a close neighbor, according to Van Arsdel.

These halls will also be the first to try out two new types of shades, one that allows for filtered light and another that is completely black allowing you to sleep anytime, said Van Arsdel.

Coronado Residence Hall will close for a year in May for “limited renovation” on things like plumbing.

In the fall, Yuma Residence Hall and Árbol de la Vida will be the only halls that cater specifically to students in the Honors College .

Both halls are on schedule to be completed in time to welcome students in the fall.

Valentine’s Day steals Arizona’s thunder

Happy Arizona Statehood Day! Happy Valentine’s Day, too. But not so happy that you feel compelled to smush your face against that of your significant other’s while we stand too close in the crowded line of Starbucks during its morning rush. Especially if we’re so close that I can hear the awkward sound of your mouths sticking together and pulling apart in a sloppy, pre-breakfast kiss. That’s just not my cup of tea, thanks.

Today, women everywhere are being disappointed and men are apologizing without knowing why. What a waste of a day. Red roses are useless, and those overpriced chocolates are unnecessary. But the worst part is the prevalence of public displays of affection.

Could it be that I am a bitter, single girl, fearful of being on the way to cat lady status? Perhaps I just begrudge all these happy couples, paired off on this fine

Valentine’s Day, in their coupled bliss.

Nope. It’s more likely that I am running late, but not late enough to be willing to risk getting hit by a car while walking in the street. Unfortunately, all those blissful couples are taking up far too much room on the sidewalk.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if they were walking side by side, or holding hands. But hugging while walking, arms wrapped too tightly around each other’s waists, feels like an invitation to play a particularly painful game of Red Rover. Just let go of each other.

No one walking toward or behind you can get around you. Besides, it cannot be easy to walk as if you and your other half are attached at the hip like creepy, incestuous conjoined twins.

Granted, I’d rather you two move at the pace of snails if it means you’re moving at all. For the love of Cupid, nothing gives you the right to stop mid-conversation to kiss each other, specifically if the

conversation includes a third party. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has stepped down. The military is dissolving parliament and suspending the constitution.

But wait a moment.

Pause so that you can wriggle your faces toward each other, scrunch your eyes shut and peck each other on the mouth. Return to the conversation as normal. What? Who knew two seconds could be so intensely uncomfortable?

Valentine’s Day is sickly sweet, but Statehood Day never tires of cowboy hats and bolo ties. Today, let’s remember the five C’s of Arizona: Copper, cotton, cattle, citrus and climate, not coupledom.

NY politicians putting on a gun show Storm Byrd Arizona Daily Wildcat

C

ongressman Christopher Lee, a representative from New York, recently stepped down amid scandal. The scandal erupted after an online gossip website posted a shirtless photo of the congressman and an email exchange between himself and a woman.

Lee had responded to a Craigslist ad the woman posted seeking male companionship and soon thereafter sent the now infamous shirtless photo.

On the surface, one’s initial reaction might be a “So what?” Yes, sending a shirtless photo that could best be described as a “Myspace pic” is certainly conduct unbecoming of a congressman, but should he really have to step down? Yes, he is childish, and certainly inappropriate, but aren’t there more problematic things that would lead to resignation? Compound that with the fact that he is married with a child, and things change just a bit.

Lee is only the most recent controversy-riddled congressman to get elected in New York. New York has become a haven for the election of shoddy congressmen, just look at their history.

The quick survey of memory brings three to the forefront. First there was Adam Clayton Powell Jr. (D-NY), who refused

to pay a New York court-ordered fine, misappropriated congressional travel funds and paid his wife for work she did not do. The best part about Powell is that he got re-elected after this scandal.

“

We all know that sometimes you just have to take the shirt off and flex the guns. If the girls have got their tickets to the gun show, let them look.

But if you’re married, keep ‘em in the holster. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you signed over the permit for your shoulder cannons when you got married.

“

ccording to Arizona’s constitution, “The university and all other state educational institutions shall be open to students of both sexes, and the instruction furnished shall be nearly as free as possible.” Well, one out of two isn’t too awful, especially if you ask the Arizona Board of Regents.

Typically, tuition is determined according to a policy that requires tuition to be set at the top of the bottom third of university peers.

Last year, after drastic budget cuts, the regents made an exception and set tuition at the median level of university peers, creating a 20 percent hike in tuition costs.

Right now, the UA and Arizona State University are above the bottom third, while Northern Arizona University is just below. According to the normal policy, UA and ASU tuition would have to decrease, which the regents won’t have happen.

The exception expires this month, and the regents will have to find a new policy for setting tuition.

While students have to recognize that “nearly as free as possible” should mean exactly what it says, with an emphasis on “as possible,” the regents must evaluate possible tuition-setting policies very carefully.

A student’s ability to pay for higher education is affected by a number of factors beyond the cost of tuition: These include the price of other mandatory fees, housing and books, income, and federal and statebased financial aid.

According to Arizona Daily Star reporter Becky Pallack, the UA spent $234 million on student scholarships and grants last fiscal year. This is three times what it spent in 2005.

But tuition is also up 83 percent from what it was five years ago, and significantly more UA students are eligible for financial aid than were years ago. This fall, 38 percent of Arizona students qualified for federal Pell grants, nearly twice as much as the number of students who did two years ago.

As the UA continues to struggle with Gov. Jan Brewer’s proposal to cut $67 million in funding (on top of a $100 million loss over the past few years), it is difficult to see how the UA will be able to provide enough financial aid against continued rising tuition costs. Past cuts have already been made to much of the university, and there are few other places to cut besides jobs and financial aid.

It doesn’t take a bachelor’s degree to predict what could happen if financial aid goes down while tuition continues to go up.

According to the board’s mission statement, the regents are “committed to ensuring access for qualified residents of Arizona to undergraduate and graduate institutions; promoting the discovery, application, and dissemination of new knowledge; … and maximizing the benefits derived from the state’s investment in education.” It’s not too much to ask that the regents follow through.

In the middle of economic turmoil and budget cuts, it would be unrealistic for students to expect tuition to stay the same. We wish it would, or, better yet, that it would go down. But we also wish we were graduating tomorrow and that the cast of “Jersey Shore” would just go away. Unrealistic.

The decisions faced by the Board of Regents are not easy ones, and are surely not being made recklessly. Still, it is perfectly realistic and incredibly necessary for students to expect the regents to carefully weigh the methods they use for determining tuition.

The policy of setting tuition according to the median level of peer institutions doesn’t and won’t work. The UA’s “peers” include universities like the University of California, Los Angeles and Pennsylvania State University. Of most peer institutions, the UA has a higher acceptance rate, higher rates of students who qualify for financial aid and a lower retention rate.

Why should we spend like our “peers”?

Are they expected to abide by state constitutional clauses like, “instruction … shall be nearly as free possible”?

Next comes Charles B. Rangel (DNY), who was found by the House Ethics Committee to have committed ethical violations. In short, Rangel failed to comply with several tax laws that led to him improperly renting

multiple apartments and using his office to raise money for a facility at a university in New York.

Lastly, our recent memory reminds us of Eric J. Massa (D-NY) who stepped down amid allegations that he inappropriately harassed a male aide, and then claimed that a reappearance of cancer was the reason for his resignation.

He later acknowledged that he did have an inappropriate interaction.

Lee is the second New York congressman to step down in less than a year, and odds are, we’ll get another one soon. Now, what Lee did was most certainly inappropriate, but can we say we expected anything less of a New York congressman, Democrat or Republican? If Lee was not married, I would suggest that he just change parties and try to appeal to the youth. We all know that sometimes you just have to take the shirt off and flex the guns. If the girls have got their tickets to the gun show, let them look. But if you’re married, keep ‘em in the holster. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think you signed over the permit for your shoulder cannons when you got married.

I truly hope Lee can right the ship and fix this wrong that he has inflicted upon his family. If not, saddle yourself up with a colorful tank top and bust out the frayed American Eagle cargo shorts, Mr. Lee, and start building yourself a library of pictures. That way, the next time a female wants to see your pythons, you don’t have to break away to the bathroom to let them out of their cage.

California releases nation’s first state-approved K-12 environmental curriculum

Anda Chu/Contra Costa Times/MCT

Julian Hodgson, 10, shows off the pen and pencil holder repurposed out of a drink pouch at Searles Elementary School in Union City, Calif., Feb. 3. The students have been part of a pilot project testing new environmental curriculum developed by the California Environmental Protection Agency.

McClatchy Tribune WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — At Searles Elementary School in Union City, fifth-grade students recently shared what they learned during a pilot run of the nation’s first state-approved K-12 environmental curriculum.

The California Environmental Protection Agency, which developed the material, this month released it to school districts statewide.

Instead of generic chemistry lectures, students will learn how

chlorine-containing molecules from products such as aerosol cans and refrigerators chew away — through chemical reactions — the protective ozone layer over the Earth’s poles.

They learn how atmospheric carbon dioxide keeps the planet warm through the “greenhouse effect.”

Kindergartners will learn to draw the state’s five major ecosystems, complete with its largest rivers. In high school economics, students can learn about the fisheries industry and how ecosystem health affects its prosperity or decline.

Conservatives give Ron Paul presidential nod McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — Texas Rep. Ron Paul won the straw poll of conservative activists Saturday as their top choice for the 2012 presidential nomination, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney finished a strong second-but among the newer faces, no one showed much strength.

Paul was the first choice of the 3,742 voters at the Conservative Political Action Conference with 30 percent. Romney got 23 percent.

Paul and Romney also finished one-two in last year’s poll, with almost identical percentages.

In 2007, Romney won the straw poll, followed by former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, the eventual nominee, never a favorite of conservative activists, was fifth.

Perhaps just as significantly, the vote among other hopefuls was fractured this year, even after more than a dozen potential candidates paraded to the podium over three days to make their cases to a convention that drew more than 11,000 people from around

the country.

While Romney got a boost, the splintered vote among other candidates was a signal that “there’s no jelling around a candidate,” said CPAC Chairman David Keene.

The key message, he said, is that “all of these potential candidates are seen as conservatives.

People sort of like all of them.”

Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson was the first choice of 6 percent; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who did not attend the conference, also 6 percent; former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, 5 percent; Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, 4 percent; former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, 4 percent, and Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, 4 percent.

Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, who did not attend, got 3 percent.

At 2 percent each were former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who also did not attend, former National Restaurant Association head Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and South Dakota Sen. John Thune.

“It’s grooming the leaders of tomorrow,” said Mindy Fox, director of the office of education and the environment at Cal-EPA. “By that I mean it strengthens critical thinking and sound decisionmaking. And all of these kids are going to become the consumers of tomorrow.”

The curriculum was borne of legislation passed in 2003, which mandated its development to cultivate environmental literacy in the state’s youth.

In a show of their knowledge, several Searles Elementary students quickly built a “food web” using empty milk cartons pasted with images of microbes, insects, plants and animals. They explained how each life form depends upon the others, and how when one declines, the others are threatened as well.

The students also learned how to recycle used goods, and why that’s important for reducing waste.

“It’s a good experience,” said Romy Mastel, 10. “I’m glad we had a chance to learn it. Otherwise, we’d be just throwing things away,” she said.

“But you can reuse almost anything,” Romy said.

Prompted by that remark, Julian Hodgson, 10, carried over a container packed with pens and pencils that

he had made from a colorful empty foil food container.

The students in late January even spoke before the school district’s board, as proud parents watched, urging the district to require milk-carton recycling. The students were inspired by the smaller-scale program they started at their school after studying the environmental curriculum.

“This is our big plan, to get all the milk cartons recycled,” said Alairah Campbell, 10.

“They’re on a roll now,” said their teacher, Vince Rosato, who was one of the early adopters of the curriculum. His district, New Haven Unified, was one of 19 statewide that field-tested the program.

The Education and Environment Initiative meets the state’s academic content standards, and it’s the nation’s first environmental curriculum approved by a state board of education, Cal-EPA’s Fox said.

Its use is voluntary, however, and teachers can pick and choose among its 85 units.

The curriculum covers topics in science, mathematics and economics, English, and history and the social sciences, all seen through an environmental lens. The handbooks, Fox added, are replete with spectacular photos and maps from the National Geographic Society.

Egyptian military dissolves parliament

‘Lucy’ could walk

McClatchy Tribune

McClatchy Tribune Our celebrated ancestor Lucy was no waddling, hunched-over apewoman who felt more at home in the trees.

New research from the University of Missouri in Columbia offers the most conclusive evidence yet that Lucy and her tribe spent their lives on solid ground and walked much as modern humans do — more than 3 million years ago.

Lucy, just 3 and a half feet tall, would have been more capable of strutting her stuff on a dance floor than of swinging from branch to branch.

“I bet she could dance,” said MU anatomy professor Carol Ward. “I don’t know if I could do any better.”

In research published today in the journal Science, Ward and two colleagues used a newly discovered foot bone from a dig in Ethiopia to determine that members of Lucy’s species, Australopithecus afarensis, had arched feet like ours.

That may seem like a small detail, but it has huge implications for the course of human evolution.

CAIRO — Egypt’s military disbanded the country’s parliament and suspended the constitution on Sunday, saying it will rule for six months or until presidential and parliamentary elections are held, according to a statement by the military council read on state television.

The announcement, which came two days after the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak, met some of the demands of anti-government protesters who for nearly three weeks demonstrated against Mubarak and the parliament, demanding constitutional reforms.

Parliamentary elections held in November were considered fraudulent and marred by mass arrests, pressure on independent candidates, news-media harassment and a boycott by some opposition groups. Last week, in the final days of Mubarak’s rule, hundreds gathered in front of the parliament building in addition to the thousands in Tahrir Square.

The army appeared to have left in place the Cabinet, which is run-

ning the country.

Earlier Sunday, the army began to clear Tahrir Square, the center of the protests, tearing down tents and opening it to traffic.

The dozens of soldiers in olive fatigues and red berets surrounded the one remaining stage for protesters, while cars honked and drove around the city hub for the first time since Jan. 25, when people erupted in rage against Mubarak. It was a further sign of the military’s determination to restore the nation’s capital to normal.

The popular uprising shut down Egypt’s economy, sparked fighting and froze activity in downtown Cairo, home to the government and major businesses.

Scores of soldiers fanned out into the remaining tent cities on the square and tore them down.

The families and young people, who had been squatting, largely complied and accepted that Tahrir Square no longer belonged to them. The soldiers dismantled the plastic tarps and walked among papers, trash and a child’s lost teddy bear. One teenager shoved and pushed at the soldiers and cried at having to leave.

do you want... answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

less stress? better grades? less sickness? better mood?

Getting enough sleep each night improves ability to manage stress, boosts the immune system, sharpens concentration and memory for studying, and enhances overall physical and emotional health.

There are 5-7 calories and 200-500 million sperm in one teaspoon of ejaculate.

Q Is it safe to swallow vaginal secretions? Ejaculate?

A. The natural composition of vaginal secretions and ejaculate is safe. Ejaculate is 1% sperm and the rest consists of water, fructose, proteins, citric acid, enzymes, zinc, and phosphate. Vaginal secretions – made up of lubrication and mucus – are a mixture of amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and other types of acids produced from the lactobacillus bacteria.

Swallowing these fluids by themselves isn’t where the risk lies. The risk is having infected secretions or ejaculate come into contact with a mucous membrane (such as the inside of the mouth, urethra, and vagina) allowing for STI transmission. Gonorrhea and chlamydia (infection in the throat), herpes (if cold sores

are present), genital warts, and HIV can be unwelcome additions to oral sex. The chance for STI transmission through this route is rare, but possible.

So, is swallowing safe? Not 100%, but there are ways you can make oral sex safer: get tested with your partner before engaging in sexual activity, and use flavored latex dams or condoms with flavored lube during oral sex to significantly decrease the risk of contracting an STI. Campus Health offers STI testing, exams, and treatment, and our Pharmacy carries flavored latex dams for $1 apiece. Flavored lube is available at local adult shops and online for a very low cost.

Q Does pineapple make your “man juice” taste better?

A. This is a popular question, so let’s get right to the taste facts. Expect ejaculate to taste somewhat salty and warm, but just like body odor and breath, the exact taste and smell is unique to its owner and to the one doing the tasting.

Now can something like pineapple change that? Diet affects breath and sweat odors so perhaps it can affect the way your “man juice” tastes. You can experiment by adding

or subtracting different foods into and out of your diet to see if your partner (or you) can taste a difference.

Tip: Limiting your intake of alcohol or heavy odor foods such as garlic, onions, etc. may improve the taste of “man juice.”

And if you needed another reason to quit smoking, non-smokers are likely to taste better than smokers.

POLICEBEAT

By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Student escorted from ECE building

A male UA student was escorted from a room of the Electrical and Computer Engineering building on Wednesday at 6:58 p.m.

An aide with the University of Arizona Police Department was securing the building when he noticed a door propped open by a plastic mail sorter.

The aide recalled never seeing the particular door being open when securing the building, and the room had a cipher lock to control access to the room.

The aide entered the room and saw a student standing on a chair, in a squatted position, at a computer terminal.

The aide asked the student for a CatCard, and the student looked at the aide and asked why.

The aide said that because the door was propped open, he needed to make sure everyone was where they should be.

The aide asked for assistance from UAPD because the student was visibly upset for being interrupted.

The aide told the student that any UA official could ask to see a CatCard, in accordance to UA policy.

The aide then said that, under the same policy, the student could request identification from the aide as well.

The aide showed the student what a room privilege card looked like and the student said that he did not have one or code access to the lab.

The aide asked if there was a lab manager or supervisor who could prove that the student was supposed to be in the lab.

The student called his professor to verify that he was working on an experiment. However, the aide notified the professor that the student had lied about having supervision in the lab.

A UAPD officer arrived and had to stand between the student and the aide because the student was getting visibly upset.

The student was asked to leave and took about ten minutes to collect his personal items.

The student left the building without further incident.

I remember my first MIP

A female UA student was transported to the University Medical Center for severe intoxication on Feb. 5 at 1:29 a.m.

A UAPD officer was dispatched to Coronado Residence Hall at 12:58 a.m. regarding an extremely intoxicated female in the lobby.

The female was conscious but unresponsive.

Upon arrival, the officer saw the female sitting in a chair bent over throwing up. A friend was holding the female up and taking care of her.

Resident Assistants were also there collecting information about what had happened.

Tucson Fire Department emergency medical staff arrived shortly after the officer.

The TFD personnel evaluated the female and determined that she needed to go to the hospital.

The officer attempted to talk to the female but due to her level of intoxication, she was not approachable and could not understand what was happening.

The female continued vomiting in the emergency room of the University Medical Center.

The female was in such poor condition that she could not comprehend what the officer was charging her with.

The officer returned the next morning to give the female a citation for minor in possession.

The officer asked if the female remembered anything about where she was drinking the night before.

The female said that she was drinking at some fraternity house, but could not remember which nor did she remember anything that happened at Coronado Residence Hall.

The female signed the citation and was released.

The officer filed a Dean of Students Office code of conduct referral.

A non-UA affiliated male’s skateboard was confiscated for performing tricks on campus on Feb. 5 at 5:10 p.m.

A UAPD officer patrolling South Campus Drive,

by Yavapai Residence Hall, saw a man holding a skateboard on the sidewalk south of the Social Sciences building.

Another man was standing in the street taking pictures.

The officer parked the patrol vehicle in the parking lot behind the Social Sciences building and the two men stood around for a minute.

Walking toward the building, the officer saw the man doing a kickflip jump from the landing of the building onto the sidewalk.The other man continued taking photos of the trick from the sidewalk.

The officer made contact with the men and found that the skateboarder was non-UA affiliated, but the photographer was a UA student.

The officer told the man that skateboard tricks on university property were a violation of UA policy.

The officer also said that based on the “egregious skateboarding trick,” he was going to impound the man’s skateboard.

The man laughed and said, “No you’re not.”

The officer explained that tricks were clearly in violation of UA policy and that the board would be impounded and held by Parking and Transportation Services.

The man accused the officer of being a fascist and trying to steal the board in order to force the man to buy it back.

The officer confiscated the skateboard and spoke to the student.

The officer explained that taking photos of an action in violation of UA policy could be considered as encouragement or participation in the action.

The officer issued the man the citation and warned the man that skateboard tricks on UA property could be considered criminal damage, criminal trespass or loitering.

ON THE SPOT Three intimate minutes with Adrian

RECYCLE

WORTH NOTING

Adrian Grenier

Director of “Teenage Paparazzo” You are 34, in the prime of your life. What are you mostly thinking about? Sex, drugs, rock n’ roll?

I think sex, drugs and rock n’ roll are always going through my mind, whether I’m 12, 15, 34, 64. (It) started when I was 14.

What was your craziest experience during your collegiate years at Bard?

I think the reason I left Bard was because I was doing a little too much of the sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll. I didn’t want to waste my money just partying so I decided to leave until I was good and ready to actually make the most of my experience and capitalize on my education.

So I made the wise choice to save my money and wait. I have actually recently really wanted to go back to school. But only in those past years, late 20s, that I started to appreciate learning and education.

So, your taste in women.

Are you more interested in cougars or college women?

Well I wouldn’t limit my tastes. I mean … I like good people. I am a people person.

I like intelligent, strong, independent women, whether or not they are in college.

I tend to think that college girls still haven’t really found themselves yet.

This is for all those guilty readers out there, what is your favorite bedroom position?

Again, I don’t limit myself.

Best kiss? Anne Hathaway, Britney Spears …

Kissing is all about compatibility. You can’t appoint a bad kiss to somebody, it’s nobody’s fault.

What do you want to say to the UA? Any advice, comments for the Wildcats?

Just, rawwwwr.

continued from page 12 Jesse Perry added, “and it showed tonight.”

Fogg stood out on a poor shooting night – Arizona shot just 40 percent and ASU shot 37 percent – and took advantage of the attention that was being paid to Williams by making the Sun Devils pay from outside.

“I had to look for my teammates tonight,” Williams said after the game. “Luckily, Fogg hit a lot of great shots tonight.”

Arizona head coach Sean Miller was thrilled to see a player other than Williams have a big night, something that hasn’t been the case most of the season.

“I give Kyle Fogg a lot of credit,” Miller said. “He’s done everything that I’ve asked of him. It was great to see him have a great night from 3 because he worked hard to make that happen.

“Derrick Williams always deserves credit,” he added. “Part of the credit he deserves is when teams try to collapse on him.

Sometimes it’s presence alone (that) can create shots for his teammates, and its up to them to make

ZIMMERMAN continued from page 12 erwise, he’s not getting the talent to Tempe.

Miller stole freshman Daniel Bejarano out of Sendek’s backyard, and while Bejarano has not seen any playing time at Arizona, it’s not as if recruits in Sendek’s tenure have panned out aside from the former Sun Devil James Harden. He got a big name prospect in freshman Keala King and has Mesa High School’s Jahii Carson coming next season.

Their development will be essential, but that comes after

them and Kyle (Fogg) took advantage of those.”

The Wildcats extended their winning streak to six games, the longest in the Miller era and appear to be rolling in the way Miller envisioned at this point in the season.

The Sun Devils cut into the Wildcat lead on several occasions in the second half, but they we’re unable to sustain enough offense to give the Wildcats any real threat.

Each time it seemed ASU would pull within single digits, the Wildcats would answer with a score of their own.

Arizona led 34-24 at halftime and wasted no time extending the lead as Perry knocked down a 3 pointer to make it 37-24. Perry scored all if his 10 points in the second half.

Fogg led the Wildcats with 13 first half points, while Williams became a passer due to the suffocating zone defense, scoring only five points on three field goal attempts.

With the win, Arizona maintained its lead over UCLA for first place in the Pac-10.

“We wanted to get the win tonight to stay in first place and let everybody chase us,” Williams said.

Sendek has seen a number of players — Rihards Kuksiks and Ty Abbott come to mind — that haven’t improved, and sometimes even regressed, during their time as a Sun Devil.

So then it must be asked: what’s causing mediocrity? It’s not like Tempe doesn’t have the pretty girls, the 70 degree winter days and the facilities that drives recruits to Tucson.

Maybe ASU doesn’t have the culture.

Look what rivalries that have cultures of winning produced elsewhere. Glance at Sendek’s old North Carolina State team, who ran him out after he couldn’t guide

WILLIAMS continued from page 12 ours. I knew we were going to win. I think we all thought that.”

After watching Ibekwe put the rest of her team on her back to the tune of 22 points and 22 rebounds, it’s easy to see why there was so much confidence coming from Arizona — even though the Wildcats were served a 32-point beat down in their trip to Tempe earlier this season.

That’s another thing to add to the list of firsts from Sunday’s game: It was the first time all season that an Arizona player willed the team to a win.

Losing just wasn’t an option for Ibekwe.

“That was a lot of motivation, that I wasn’t really there for my team (in Tempe),” said Ibekwe, who was limited to only 12 minutes in the season’s first matchup due to illness. “I just had to go out there and give them my all.”

This is also the first time Butts and Arizona have been able to put together a signature victory — one to let the conference know that the Wildcats are done being a doormat in the Pacific 10 Conference. the Wolfpack through the Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest buzz saw.

It’s looking like history might repeat itself in the state of Arizona, where playing secondfiddle doesn’t just mean losing to the Wildcats, but going 1-11 in conference and struggling to reach the NCAA Tournament year in, year out.

That’s a shame, because Miller selling recruits on playing a heated rivalry twice a year would make the state of Arizona basketball a whole other monster. Requiring opponents to split their worries over two NCAA Tournament-level

Sunday’s win gave the Wildcats 14 wins on the season, the same total they had in all of 2009-2010.

All of last week, Butts tried to downplay how important picking up her first win over ASU could be. On Sunday, it was clear that she knew how big a win it was for the program.

It was the most animated that she’s been the entire season. Butts was pumped up after every Arizona basket. She turned around and yelled for the 3,310 in attendance to make more noise on more than one late-game occasion.

And after Arizona had done everything but make the game official, Butts had one more display to show just how much this game meant.

She sent in forward Erica Barnes to replace Ibekwe with six seconds left on the clock, and stopped Ibekwe on her way to the bench and the two embraced in a long hug.

“Arizona is what I love,” Butts said. “This team is what I love.

There’s nothing like this victory right now.”

Last night, Lulls in scoring aligned with lulls in an energy the rivalry once spewed despite Arizona’s usual dominance.

What might ignite this rivalry, waking up the Arizona fans growing sleepy of wins against the Sun Devils all while helping the image of Arizona basketball?

Maybe ASU basketball climbing into relevancy.

W-HOOPS continued from page 12 back on top.

Suddenly, things changed for the Wildcats. They started playing aggressive on defense, forcing ASU to play their style.

“It was that refuse to lose mentally,” Butts said. “It was that you know they made a run, but were not looking down.

We’re just going to fight hard and keep scrapping, and that’s what we did.”

On the back of tenacious foward Ify Ibekwe, the Wildcats went on a 13-4 run over the next four minutes to take control.

Ibekwe’s effort — 22 points and 22 rebounds — was not lost on her coach.

“She played like she was in fact one of the best players in the country,” Butts said. “She was finally very active, she had 22 rebounds, and in part it was because she boxed out today.”

It was Ibekwe’s first win over ASU in her career at Arizona, but rather than get lost in the accomplishment, the senior said she expected it.

“We were all focused, focused on our game plan,” Ibekwe said. “We knew what they were going to bring and we didn’t let up.

“We were patient on offense and knew that if they shot the ball that we were all boxing out and getting rebounds.”

After the game, Butts put the win into perspective in terms of what it means for Arizona women’s basketball.

“Forget about me and where it ranks,” she said. “With us and our team, it’s certainly ranking pretty high right now because we hadn’t done it, and now that we’ve done it, it’s hard to beat that.

“There’s nothing like this victory right now.”

UA begins season 5-1 The Arizona softball team displayed its offensive power during the weekend, highlighted by a 14-0 win over Cal Poly on Sunday. The 5-1 Wildcats lost to No. 6 Oklahoma on Saturday.

Wildcats beat No. 19 Texas A&M, fall to No. 6 Oklahoma

By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona softball team experienced a lot of firsts this weekend at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe — some better than others.

Thursday’s game against Indiana brought the No. 1 Wildcats their first win of the season, but by Saturday Arizona (5-1) would also experience its first loss of the season, falling to No. 6 Oklahoma 11-1 in five innings.

Sophomore Kenzie Fowler (4-0) debuted her new pitching style in Tempe and won all four games that she started in addition to appearing in the loss to the Sooners. She struck out 41 batters during the weekend and gave up just three earned runs on 14 hits.

Freshman pitcher Shelby Babcock (1-1) also experienced her first collegiate start and victory in Arizona’s 8-3 win over Utah on Friday. Her first loss came against the Sooners the next day.

Arizona’s potentially powerful offense showed signs of its ability to go deep on Saturday against Utah. Senior left fielder Brittany Lastrapes hit the Wildcats’ first

Wildcats take down Wolfpack

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona gymnastics team extended its winning streak to four meets this weekend when it outlasted North Carolina State and William and Mary. The Wildcats were effective in all aspects, and totaled a season-high score of 195.550.

In the early part of the season, the Wildcats struggled to stay consistent, but the team cleaned up its act this week.

“I am incredibly proud of the team on how hard they fought,” head coach Bill Ryden told Arizona Athletics.

“We weren’t quite nailing, and every routine we were gritting our teeth, but they never gave

up. We went 23 for 24, no fall routines. … But overall I was really proud of the girls.”

The Wildcats have been able to count on Aubree Cristello, Deanna Graham, Molly Quirk and Miranda Russell all season and that continued Saturday night. Arizona placed three gymnasts on three events, sweeping the bars, beam and floor. Graham and Cristello placed first and second, respectively, on the vault event.

It was the only time Arizona was unable to get three girls on the podium.

“This meet wasn’t necessarily a showcase of our best gymnastics, but it definitely was Janice Biancavilla/Arizona Daily Wildcat an example of how tough we The Wildcats gymnastics team scored a season-high 195.550 in a win over North can compete,” Ryden said.

already impressive season, ignited the competitive fire for Arizona. One week after scoring a career high of 9.925 during the floor event, Russell earned a 9.900 during the bars event. Russell has scored a 9.900 or higher three times this season as she continues her strong senior campaign.

“Miranda (Russell) drilled her routine; she dropped that dismount and just stood there,” Ryden said. “She stuck cold, and it was a great set.

She is just in a groove. She is a really great bar worker, and this routine really suits her.”

The Wildcats look to continue their winning ways this week as No. 2 Stanford comes to McKale Center for a Friday night meet.

home run of the season in the third inning against the Utes and second baseman Kristen Arriola and third baseman Brigette Del Ponte added their firsts of the year in the fourth and fifth innings, respectively. Designated player Lini Koria added her first long ball of the year against No. 19 Texas A&M on Saturday. Catcher Stacie Chambers hit her first of the year against Cal Poly on Sunday.

The four Arizona freshmen position players, Chelsea Suitos, Alex Lavine, Jordy Clifton and Ashlee Brawley, made their Arizona collegiate debut this weekend.

The Wildcats were on the receiving and giving end of a five inning, run-rule game. The 11-1 loss against Oklahoma was the Wildcats’ worse since falling to ASU by the same score on April 2, 2010. Sooner pitcher Keilani Ricketts held Arizona to just two hits, and equaled that total herself in the batters box. She struck out 10 Wildcat batters. On the other end, Arizona’s Babcock threw more than 100 pitches and gave up 10 hits and 10 earned runs.

The Wildcats ended their final game of the weekend defeating Cal Poly 14-0 in five innings.

Fogg’s teammates noticed the extra work that the junior guard put in.

“We had a whole week off and he came in got extra shots up,” forward

TEMPE — The Sun Devil fans gloated over a blocked kick.

They played a pregame tune with a “This Is Our House” hook, but if you didn’t know otherwise, ASU was subletting parts of Wells Fargo Arena to the Arizona Wildcats.

In the context of where the two teams stand, last night was the usual Duel in the Desert basketball game — Lute Olson might as well have been pointing at the scoreboard, which read 67-52 in an ugly, grind-itout win for Arizona.

But there’s this question: As an Arizona fan, should you be happy with this? Hate ASU all you want, but think what could be if they had a good basketball team. Think of how much more important Sunday’s game would’ve been.

You’d care a little more, wouldn’t you?

Every time a Pacific 10 Conference team comes to the great state of Arizona, it knows what to expect.

Expect a battle in Tucson. Expect a win in Tempe, and though Arizona coach Sean Miller won’t admit it, that’s an assumption other teams probably make.

After the game, Arizona Republic columnist Paola Boivin didn’t ask Miller about ASU fans panicking without reason.

“Their fans have no reason to panic,” Miller responded. “Watching Herb (Sendek, ASU’s head coach), what he’s done day one against the odds that he had … sometimes seasons happen like this now. It’s not like it used to be. Nobody has that room for error that maybe we once did.”

But Arizona does have some room for error against the Sun Devils, and it’s fair that ASU fans are panicking over another era where they’d be lucky to make the NIT. Last night wasn’t picture perfect at all. No team shot better than 40 percent and Arizona’s star, Derrick Williams, was relatively quiet, scoring 11 points and grabbing five rebounds. The double-digit Wildcat win came anyway.

So what would Arizona gain from their rivals up the Interstate 10 beating up a Washington or UCLA on a Thursday before having to play in McKale Center? How much viciousness would accompany two Top 25 teams playing twice a year?

It’s fun to think about. But as it stands, that’s all you can really do — think about it.

Sendek is a savvy coach, and he didn’t find success in the ACC by accident. But whether it’s a product of the ASU athletic program or oth-

Wildcats gut out win in Tempe, sweep season series with ASU

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT TEMPE — Kyle Fogg has struggled shooting consistently all season, so last week, to prepare for ASU, he took extra shooting sessions at night to help get back on track.

On Sunday night, it paid off.

Fogg led the No. 15 Arizona (214, 10-2 Pacific 10 Conference) with a career-high 26 points, shooting 6-for-9 from beyond the arc giving the Wildcats their first sweep against the Sun Devils (9-15, 1-11) since 2006-07 season in a 67-52 win

Just a win?

Arizona burns Sun Devils in statement win

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For the first time since 2005 , the Arizona women’s basketball team defeated ASU 73-61 in McKale Center on Sunday, in what could be described as both a program-defining win and a turning point.

The Wildcats’ (14-9, 5-7 Pacific 10 Conference ) dominant defeat of the Sun Devils (14-8, 6-6 Pac-10 ) was able to match last season’s win total and secure third-year head coach Niya Butts’ 40th victory at the helm of the program .

“It feels pretty good to finally get a win against ASU,” Butts said. “I’m just so proud of our basketball team. They really prepared for this game. They were really focused. We didn’t get down when we made mistakes like we’ve done in the past, and it’s just a great feeling.”

While the feeling after the game was nothing short of elation, the game itself was a back-and-forth

struggle.

Both Arizona and ASU tried to push their up-tempo style of offense, but stout defense on both sides kept the scoring to a minimum at the start, with the Wildcats taking at 12-11 with 12:18 left in the first half of play.

Even guard Davellyn Whyte, whom Arizona looks to when they need points, didn’t secure her first basket until the 5:25 mark.

Arizona had a five point lead with a minute and a half left in the first half but quick transition work by the Sun Devils cut the lead to one, giving the Wildcats a 28-27 advantage going into the locker room.

The second half saw more of the same, and with 10:20 left on the game clock Sun Devil standout Dymond Simon hit a 3 pointer to give her team a 47-45 lead . Whyte then took things into her own hands and quickly responded with a three of her own, putting Arizona W-HOOPS, page 9

Butts, Ibekwe lead UA to upset

COMMENTARY BY Alex Williams sports writer

Colin Darland/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior forward Ify Ibekwe’s 22 points and 22 rebounds led the Wildcats to a 73-61 win over ASU. The win marked the first victory for head coach Niya Butts over ASU in her career at Arizona.

Saturday’s 73-61 win over ASU was a game of firsts for the Arizona women’s basketball team.

It was head coach Niya Butts’ first win over Arizona’s rival since she was hired in April of 2008.

For everyone on Arizona’s roster, most notably senior Ify Ibekwe, it was the first win over ASU in their careers — snapping a Sun Devil streak of 11 straight over the Wildcats.

And for the first time in weeks — since Jan. 22 to be exact — Arizona won a game, something that didn’t surprise sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte.

“We needed to get it done,” Whyte said. “I knew this one was WILLIAMS, page 9
