ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Female faculty on the rise
thursday, february ,
tucson, arizona

Tenure-track women remain in the minority, but numbers show the gap is shrinking
members because of the amount of time required for the job. “In general, I think it’s important what I have found in the past with women colleagues is … 40 hours a week doesn’t exist,” she said. “Being a junior faculty member is a day and night and weekend job. “And friends I’ve had who decided to start families have dropped out of the academic world because they can work 40 hours a week and make more money and have time to be with their families.” She said that women often choose to work in government labs, private companies or run their own business rather than academia. Kelsey Palmer, a civil engineering junior, said she doesn’t know any of her female classmates who plan to go into teaching. “I want to be an engineer for either the government or a private company.” The ones who choose to become faculty often have a strong support system. “A lot of these guys who work day and night (in academics) have someone who is at home buying groceries, fixing food,” Creath said. “The Ph.D. students have had their husbands who have supported their wives’ careers. They have done this because they know that their wife’s career will bring in more money or (be) more lucrative, so I’m seeing more non-traditional kinds of relationships that women are able to flourish within their professional careers.” Jennifer Barton, a biomedical engineering professor, agrees that having support at home is beneficial but that the lifestyle does not appeal to all women. “I have an extremely supportive husband who does more than his share of household work,” she said. “And I have long hours — there’s travel involved. It’s, by nature, a competitive field for grants, publications. And I think that, to some extent, that that type of lifestyle is not appealing to a lot of women. “The UA has looked at ways to ease that burden, but a certain part of that is inherent.” Barton found the UA to be very open to female faculty members. “I have great things to say. I’ve had an excellent experience here at the College of Engineering,” Barton said. “Both the dean and the previous dean really made it a priority to bring in female faculty, and the number of female faculty have really gone up drastically since I joined here.”
By Michelle A. Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tenure-track female faculty members remain in the minority in 11 of the 14 colleges at the UA. However, a review of data by the Arizona Daily Wildcat found that in the past 10 years there has been a rise in female faculty members on campus. In 1999, there were 402 female tenure-track faculty members, and in 2009 there were 508. Growth of female faculty in the more science-oriented fields continues to lag behind. The College of Engineering is second to last in female faculty members with 14, or 12 percent of the college’s faculty. But Mary Poulton, the college’s first female head of mining and geological engineering, said “there isn’t a bias in the hiring process.” “It’s just a symptom of the hiring pool available,” Poulton said, “and the college has really made great efforts during my career here to attract women to the faculty ranks as well as department head positions.” When asked to rate her overall experience as a female faculty member in the College of Engineering, she had only one word: “challenging.” “Parts of the job have been extremely positive and rewarding and other parts less so,” Poulton said. She would not comment on if she is treated equally and fairly with her male counterparts at the college. The college has almost doubled its number of female faculty members since 1999 from eight to 14 women. Katherine Creath, a research professor of optical sciences who is taking time off, said she believes that, while the numbers of female faculty are low, they are growing. “One thing I can say is that over the last 25 years, since I got my Ph.D., the situation has gotten so women are much more integrated in what’s been going on,” Creath said. “There is a dearth of women who can act as mentors, older women faculty members.” In 1999, there was only one woman out of the 25 faculty members in Creath’s college. In 2009, there were three out of 28 faculty members. The College of Optical Sciences has the lowest percentage of tenure-track female faculty members. “I didn’t seek help from other women in other departments at the university until probably the last 10 years,” Creath said. Creath believes women are not faculty

ASUA passes gun resolution Regents set to debate legislation, tuition, financial aid
alongs last week and felt that this view might not be shared amongst all students. “The university is a different place than the other side of Speedway, and I don’t see any place for handguns at the UA,” said Sen. Dominick San Angelo. San Angelo said the “Old West” mentality, with people brandishing arms, promotes a negative climate on campus. He said it was less a distraction issue and more of a safety issue on campus. “I think at this point it is up to us to take a stance as to what we think is in the best interest of students,” San Angelo said. If the bills in the Legislature were passed, Arizona would be the second state in the country to allow concealed carry on all campuses, the other being Utah. Eight states have banned weapons on college campuses. “There is hesitancy on my part because I do realize the kinds of issues that UAPD (University of Arizona Police Department) has to deal with, and it does make their job harder,” said Sen. Jeff Adams. Adams was the only senator to vote against the resolution. “It’s not the students job or the faculty’s job to worry about selfpreservation,” said Sen. Scott Rising, who led the charge to pen the resolution.
By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The next meeting of the Arizona Board of Regents will be held today and tomorrow in the Memorial Union on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University. Issues facing the board include a measure to permanently raise the maximum base tuition allowable to a median of regents-approved peer institutions. Currently that level is set at the bottom third of peer tuition rates, a level which the UA and ASU already exceed, and which Northern Arizona University is approaching. This proposal will not necessarily mandate increases in tuition. It says in the proposal that this measure “will facilitate the success of these alternative delivery methods by allowing the Board to set tuition for these programs with flexibility to lower tuition mid-cycle as needed.” The proposal would also allow universities to lower their tuition rates without approval from the board, though the board would still have to sign off on any proposed increases in base tuition. The UA will also seek approval

from the board to approve university awards and grants worth more than $10.5 million. This figure includes proposals to help urge commercial development in solar energy, and various awards from the National Institute of Health and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
For more information on the issues that will be discussed at the regents’ meeting, you can view their agenda at www.azregents.edu A live stream of the meeting can be found beginning 9 a.m. at www.azregents.edu/aborlive/default.aspx8 “Approval of these awards is critical to the continuation and enhancement of UA’s national leadership role in conducting ground-breaking research and providing top-ranking educational programs,” the proposal reads. The board will also discuss various legislative items currently being debated, and may choose to take official stances on bills that would directly impact the Arizona university
system, specifically bills designated as “potentially detrimental to the university system.” Bills included in this category include four that would make it legal to carry concealed firearms on college or university campuses and a bill that would bar state funds from being used to subsidize tuition or fees for a student who has already earned at least one baccalaureate degree. The regents have not classified any proposed bills as those “that would help the university system” at this time. The regents will also vote on whether to permanently raise the cap on out-of-state student enrollment to 40 percent of a total university population. This would make permanent a temporary measure that was approved in 2009. The board will also discuss financial aid plans for the next two fiscal years. For the UA, this plan would entail increasing need-based financial aid by $4.3 million from 2010 to 2012, and merit-based aid by $1.5 million over the next two years. Aid for those students eligible for both need and merit-based financial aid would also increase under the proposal, from $15.2 million to $17.3 million.

The ASUA Senate passed a resolution at its meeting on Wednesday night against four separate bills in the Arizona Legislature that would allow students and faculty to carry concealed weapons on campus and inhibit the university’s ability to prevent carry on campus. “We’re not going to have people running around shooting people,” said Robert Rosinski, an Associated Students of the University of Arizona senatorial candidate, student veteran and civil engineering sophomore at the UA. As the president and founder of an unofficial campus group, Students for the Second Amendment, he said he felt strongly about having the discussion about guns on campus, and that students would feel more comfortable around guns if they had more experience with the weapons. “People are more comfortable having the opportunity to decide their own fate,” Rosinski said. He also cited concealed carry laws throughout the country, specifically in Utah, where universities allow concealed carry. “If you want some research, look past Speedway,” Rosinski said. Sen. Taylor Bilby, along with many others, gathered student reaction through SafeRide ride-

Through the looking glass The Daily Wildcat takes a tour of the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab Will Ferguson/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Founded by Optics professor Robert Angel, the Steward Observatory Mirror Lab casts mirrors for some of the world’s largest telescopes. The lab hosts tours twice a week for interested visitors.
By Steven Kwan Arizona Daily Wildcat Steward Observatory Mirror Lab celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, but it’s a campus facility that sees about 2,000 visitors throughout the year, according to Cathi Duncan, the lab’s tour coordinator. The Arizona Daily Wildcat went on a tour to see how this cornerstone of the UA’s research world helps astronomers and observatories around the world capture the light of the universe. Visitors can see the progress of lab’s current projects, the Large Binocular Telescope and the Giant Magellan Telescope, through the three stages of mirror construction. Casting is the first stage where molten borosilicate glass is roughly shaped into a honeycomb structure. The next step is grinding. Glass is chipped off with diamond bits until the mirror reaches its final shape. Finally, the mirror ’s surface is polished down to the nanometer scale. Each stage of production is automated with technicians overseeing the process. Each 8.4-meter mirror takes about five years to complete from casting to polishing. With its production schedule, the lab completes one mirror per year. Tours are held from Tuesday to Friday at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and last 90 minutes. They cost $15 for adults, $8 for students, and groups are available.

U.S. agent shot to death in Report: Teens ambivalent Protests continue to erupt about sex before marriage Mexico is identified across Arab region MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE MEXICO CITY — A U.S. immigration agent who was killed Tuesday in a part of central Mexico increasingly under the influence of drug traffickers has been identified as Jaime J. Zapata. Zapata was shot to death and another special agent was wounded when they were apparently ambushed by gunmen at a fake roadblock, the type often used by traffickers and their henchmen. U.S. Immigration and Customs officials said Wednesday that Zapata was a native of Brownsville, Texas, and four-year veteran of the department on loan from the Laredo, Texas, ICE office. He and the second agent, whose name was not released, were attached temporarily to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. The pair were driving from Mexico City toward the northern city of Monterrey when they were attacked in the state of San Luis Potosi, U.S. authorities said. The agents “were shot in the line of duty while driving between Mexico City and Monterrey, Mexico, by unknown assailants,” ICE said in a statement.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A new survey shows that 61 percent of American teens want to be virgins at marriage, yet 34 percent have little problem with sex before marriage. Even among those who valued virginity, 20 percent had tried “sexual touching” and 15 percent said they’d already had sex, says the national survey by OneHope, a Pompano Beach, Fla.,based Christian mission organization. “My reading is, ‘Being a virgin until marriage is right for me, but it may not be right for everyone,’” OneHope’s Chad Causey said. “It’s the categorical rightness that has gone.” That gibes with another finding: 65 percent of teens said truth is relative. Teens showed ambivalence toward traditional families as well: 82 percent believe God intended marriage to last a lifetime, yet 76 approve divorce when children are involved. Half consider an unmarried man and woman a family. Causey, vice president of global ministries for OneHope, said the results make more sense when viewed in clusters. For instance, youths who said they want to marry as virgins agreed that marriage should be for life, and they tended to disapprove of divorce.
BEIRUT — Reports of clashes Tuesday night between protesters and police in eastern Libya were the latest spasm of unrest sweeping the Middle East and North Africa as leaders attempt to avoid the revolutionary fervor that brought down governments in Tunisia and Egypt. The Libyan city of Benghazi was reportedly the site of clashes between protesters and police after the arrest of Fathi Terbil, spokesman and lawyer for the families of those killed in the so-called Abu Salim massacre. More than 1,000 prisoners are thought to have died in that incident in Libya’s Abu Salim prison in 1996. The protests in Libya coincide with ongoing unrest in Yemen and Bahrain. In Yemen, the violence appeared to be escalating Wednesday as protests entered their sixth consecutive day, with al-Jazeera reporting that dozens of students demanding the ouster of President Ali Abdullah Saleh were “set upon” by government supporters armed with clubs, stones and daggers just outside the University of Sana.

There is no ‘good’ and ‘bad’ knowledge Heather Price-Wright ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
A
fter a school district in Texas announced plans to introduce Arabic culture and language classes into its schools, starting in elementary school, almost 200 parents showed up at a meeting with district officials, many of them angry. The Mansfield School District’s plans were part of a federally funded grant to teach critical languages, as designated by the federal government, including Chinese, Russian and Arabic. The U.S. has “a deficit in Arabic speakers and people who understand the Arabic culture,” district spokesman Richie Escovedo told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. The federal government has called Arabic the “language of the future.” For now, though, Mansfield students won’t get to participate in the push for more Arabic speakers. After parents expressed concerns, especially about their children learning about Islam, the district has put the plans on hold, apologizing for not keeping parents more in the loop. “We had people who were animatedly fearful of anything to do with Islam,” Willie Wimbrey, assistant principal at one of the schools, told the Star-Telegram. This is Arizona, so of course, we’re no strangers to fearing what’s different. Nor are we strangers to limiting access to education about other cultures, especially those we deem somehow un-American. The fight over ethnic studies has shown the dirty depths parents and politicians will go to in order to avoid having meaningful conversations with kids about different cultures and their relationship with America. But keeping these kinds of programs, whether the Raza Studies in Tucson Unified School District or Arabic language in Texas schools, is vital if America is going to survive more and more globalization. The time when English was the only language a person needed to conduct business, engage in science and technology, or even just communicate on the streets of their hometown, is over. It’s a rapidly shrinking world and a rapidly expanding global economy, and we absolutely have to get on board. But beyond the practical reasons to teach diverse languages and cultures in schools — not just universities, but primary and secondary schools, when those lessons can really take hold — are the plain old human reasons. There are two things parents and socalled “well-meaning” (I’m playing fast and loose with that term) adults need to remember about their kids’ education. 1. Learning more about the world is almost never going to make your child a worse, less empathetic or less intelligent person. 2. Your kids are not stupid. The first should be a given. Especially when kids are young, there’s almost no bad knowledge you can give them, no truths you can teach that won’t help shape a more complex, thoughtful worldview. There aren’t good and bad parts of the world, either, or good and bad history. There are just lessons and the potential for broader and deeper understanding. The less we label some learning helpful and some harmful, the better. A little more learning never hurt anybody. But also, and I can’t stress this enough: Trust kids. They’re paying attention. They’re good, or want to be. Assuming that understanding the religion of Islam is going to make your child sympathize with terrorists, or learning about Native American and Mexican-American history is going to make them seditious lunatics is just plain not giving them enough credit. Parents, teachers, government officials, lobbyists, Daily Star online commenters — they all imagine young people’s minds are squishy, ill-formed and impressionable. And the more they assume that, the truer it will become. Schools, from elementary to university, need to give students the opportunity to know everything, or as close to everything as they possibly can, and choose for themselves. That’s what education means, and when you limit it for any reason, all you’re doing is robbing someone of the tools they need to understand, succeed in and love their world.

Spring Breakers This first piece of advice is not merely a recommendation, but a must. In order to fully prepare for the glorious week of beach bumming and blackout drinking that is Spring Break, you must let your friends know that you mean business and are ready to party hard. The only fit way of conveying this readiness is by transforming your Facebook status into a countdown timer. The most efficient way to do so is by stating something along the lines of, “It’S tHe FiNaL cOuNtDoWn: SpRiNg BrEaK 2011 iS iN 3 wEeKs!!!!! It’S aBoUt To GeT wIlD, bItChEs!” And yes, you must end your sentence with “bitches,” otherwise your enthusiasm is mediocre, at best. Once you have committed to updating your status on the reg, you are ready to move on to the next three steps — gym, tan, laundry. You must be fully committed to hitting up the Rec at least once a day. We all know that you have been slacking the past few weeks, so you better make up for it in these next three weeks. When you feel like you can’t work on your fitness for another minute, envision yourself jogging on the beach toward the hottie of your dreams, only you have to stop every two minutes to catch your breath because you’re so out of shape. That will encourage you to work a little harder. Oh and ladies, remember Sir Mix-A-Lot’s advice when hitting the gym — “you can do sidebends and sit-ups, but please don’t lose that butt.”
Moving on to laundry. I’ll state the obvious — you have three weeks to get that done or else you are going to be “that” person who smells like ass all of Spring Break. Nobody wants to be friends with the person who doesn’t have anything to wear because all of his/her clothes are at home in the laundry or waiting to be dropped off at the dry-cleaners. While we’re on the topic of clothes, I should also mention now is the time to take back that bikini you bought at the beginning of January when you were just convinced that you were going to lose ten pounds by Spring Break. I hate to break it to you, but not even the Special K diet could help you shed enough pounds to fit into that swimsuit. Just take it back and get the next size up. There’s no shame in looking good in a size 8, but there’s plenty of shame in wearing a size 4 that is engulfed by your butt and thighs. For those of you who are new to Spring Break, you might question why tanning is in the preparation and not the execution. The short answer is that tanning should be your best friend throughout the year. Since we live in Arizona, there’s no excuse not to have some color. You should know ghost white is never a good look, so if you haven’t already, start working on your base tan. Plus, everybody knows that tan skin is more flattering and since you’ll be wearing close to nothing during Spring
CAT TRACKS
Break, you need all the help you can get. Furthermore, guys, you should use this time to get rid of your farmer’s tan. A lady may find your tractor sexy, but she probably won’t be able to say the same about that tan line around your biceps. I know you don’t want to hear this last one, but it’s important. You should use these next three weeks to give your liver a break. Chances are that you’ll be binge drinking like the Prohibition is on its way back, so there’s no sense in making your liver work hard now. Plus if you lay off the alcohol now, it might not take you as much to get drunk in three weeks. This means more money in your wallet to buy that girl at the bar a drink, or to order room service when you don’t think you’ll make it out of your hotel bed. I am counting down the days until the “SpRiNg BrEaK 2011” and “I Did Whaaat? — Spring Break 2011” photo albums to start popping up on Facebook. Just remember — always be safe and never drink the water. P.S. Do us all a favor and schedule a waxing appointment before you head out of town, ladies and gents alike. Although it would make a good story, hooking up with Sasquatch is not an experience people want to come home with. — Mallory Hawkins is a communication senior.

Gov. Jan Brewer meets Devon Mills, an ASU political science freshman, and Anthony Guerra, a UA biochemistry student, on the Arizona House lawn on Wednesday during ASA’s 34th annual Lobby Day. Students asked legislators to make higher education a priority.
By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Students’ Association hosted their 34th annual Lobby Day at the Arizona Capitol on Wednesday and asked legislators to prioritize higher education during the legislative session. ASA attendees focused on pushing House Bill 2410, a bill requesting that honorably discharged veterans be allowed to pay in-state tuition to attend a state university. The bill passed in committee and will be heard by the full Arizona House of Representatives some time in the coming week before moving on to the Senate, according to Elma Delic, the ASA board chair. Delic said ASA wanted to make the legislators know the bill was one of their biggest priorities. ASA members also shared personal stories with legislators to give them a more intimate perspective into the importance of higher education. “Students have a lot of power at the capitol because a lot of them are constituents of these representatives, so they love hearing personal stories from students,” Delic said. Simone Malkovich, an ASA intern and sophomore majoring in political science and molecular and cellular biology, was one of the many students who shared their stories. Malkovich said she talked to Rep. Macario Saldate about how much the state of Arizona budget has affected her. She described the rising cost of higher education as “ridiculous,” and explained that her scholarship was a “full ride” at the beginning of her college career, and by the time she graduates she will have to take out a student loan to cover student costs. Malkovich said because Saldate was a UA professor, he was “really warm and welcoming” and truly enjoyed hearing student stories. She also said she will definitely be attending Lobby Day next year. More than 100 students attended, and they had about 60 meetings with legislators, including Sen. Steve Pierce and Rep. Steve Court, the chair of the higher education committee in the House. “Students did a really amazing job and got a lot from meeting with the representatives,” Delic said.
continued from page 1 Jeff Goldberg, dean of the College of Engineering, said losing female faculty to other schools plays a role in the numbers. “We’ve lost some key ones,” he said. “There’s been a bigger increase in hiring, but they left because they got offers at other locations.” The College of Engineering’s increase in female faculty members can be attributed, in part, to a new culture within the work place, Barton said. “I think you can just look at our upper administration — our provost is a woman, our vice president for research is a woman,” she said. “In Western culture, you prove yourself through your abilities and your background, and your gender is less important. I would never say it’s completely unimportant, but it reflects well on the UA and the state.”
Goldberg said that, when hiring, the department tries to combat “unconscious bias.” “When we hire, we hire based on quality number one,” he said. “What’s important is you don’t use standard networks you have and to go outside your comfort zone and look at their resume. You can look at quality in a lot of different ways — it‘s not just publications.” Goldberg also said that diversity is not about quotas, which the UA does not use, but about making the college stronger. “It’s important to have a diverse faculty to have a diverse set of opinions in curriculum design,” he said. “You don’t want the students seeing everyone who sounds and looks the exact same.” Tenure-track female faculty members make up almost one-quarter of the faculty in the College of Pharmacy, the fourth fewest at the UA. Out of 33 tenure-track faculty members, eight were women in 2009. In the four years that Marie Chisholm-
Burns has been department head at the UA College of Pharmacy, she has hired seven women. “They rose up to the top,” she said, citing that an increase in female students has diversified the hiring pool. “In pharmacy, surprisingly enough over the last 10 years, if you look at your class typically you see more females than males (students),” Chisholm-Burns said. “I think it’s more about letting people know what a wonderful career it can be in terms of academia, and it’s more about mentoring and encouraging.” Chisholm-Burns was the first female to get promoted from the rank of assistant professor to full professor at the University of Georgia, she said. “Now I’m in a different role … you look at it in a different point of view,” she said. “There is certainly room to do greater things and to promote diversity, not only female diversity but diversity in general. “But that’s easier said then done.”

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Concealed camera confusion
A digital video recording device was found in the women’s locker room at the Ina E. Gittings building on Sunday. An employee from the School of Dance contacted the University of Arizona Police Department on Monday regarding the camera. A UAPD officer responded to the Gittings building and met with several scene shop employees and a custodial employee. The custodian noticed a white box on the wall next to a paper towel dispenser in the first floor women’s locker room sometime last December. The custodian assumed that it was a speaker that enabled performers who were changing to keep up with the performance. But, the custodian noticed that the box would be gone one day and reappear the next day with no pattern. One of the scene shop staff thought that it might have been an air freshener based on the way it looked. However, the staff member became suspicious, as there was no odor coming from it. The device was mounted to the wall on an L-bracket with a double-sided adhesive. When the staff returned to the locker room on Sunday, the device was gone with only its L-bracket left on the wall. The staff then searched the Internet and found the exact device they had all seen in the locker room. The device is the Safe Home Covert Camera 1. The paper towel dispenser hid the device from normal view, but it was angled to view the mirror by the sinks, which provides a clear view of all the bathroom stalls and a few showers. The device couldn’t see into the closed showers, but during a busy show, performers often change in the open, the staff said. Neither the staff nor the custodian knew of any suspects at the time. The officer researched the camera and found that it is intended to blend in like an air freshener. The camera runs on battery power and is capable of taking still photographs and video and is motion activated. The staff said that they would keep an eye out for other devices around the building and have notified the head of the department.

A male UA student was arrested for marijuana possession and being a minor in possession of alcohol on Monday around 12:30 a.m. A UAPD officer responded to Coronado Residence Hall after a resident assistant in the dorm noticed the smell of marijuana. Upon arrival, and with the help of the RA, the officer could smell the odor of marijuana strongly coming from a room. The officer knocked on the door repeatedly but the residents did not respond. After about 45 seconds, a student answered the door. The officer asked the student’s permission to enter the room and speak. The student allowed the officer into the room, and the officer immediately noticed several empty cans of Keystone Light on the coffee table in the center of the room. The student’s roommate was sitting on the top bunk in the room. The officer explained that a strong odor of marijuana was detected in the hallway and that he was investigating it. The officer asked the residents a few questions. The residents claimed that the beer in the center of the room did not belong to either of them and that they did not know how it got there. The two did not have any other roommates but another male had been staying in the room until the week prior. The residents gave the officer permission to search the room. Other officers arrived and held the residents in the hallway while the officer searched the room. During the search, the officer found 18 full and cold cans of Keystone Light in the refrigerator, a marijuana vaporizer plugged into a surge protector on one of the resident’s desks, two glass pipes with marijuana residue on the floor and a white plastic container containing marijuana. The officer exited the room and spoke with the residents again. The roommate that was sitting on the bunk admitted that the marijuana and the vaporizer were his. The glass pipes belonged to the other male who had been staying with them. The roommate refused to say where the beer came from. The other roommate submitted to a breathalyzer test but no alcohol was detected in his system. The officer arrested the first roommate for marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia and minor in possession of alcohol. The roommate was cited and released. The officer seized the marijuana and paraphernalia and ordered the residents to dump the beers out in the bathroom. The roommate was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Georgia Brown Miss Positively Beautiful 2010 What is the big drag event going on tonight? It’s the documentary about drag pageants. We are having Miss Diva of Tucson 2010 who is going to perform and speak which is a big deal because she is the best. What inspired your look? This actually came from the first Lena Horne in her first film role “(Cabin) in the Sky” as Georgia Brown, which is where I got my name. How did you get into this hobby? Right after I got my B.A. at UC Irvine in dance, I joined an all-male drag company that comes through here a few times. I had 18 fabulous drag queens teach me all about drag and I wasn’t on stage at that point, so I got into the drag scene here. What is your favorite song to perform to? “Be Italian” from “Nine.” I have to ask you, how do you feel about Lady Gaga’s new single? It’s OK. It’s not my taste. I don’t particularly care for the Madonna sound. I do love Lady Gaga — just not this particular song. Maybe it will grow on me. If you were being born, what would you come out of? If I was being born, I would want to come out of the center of the stage on a swing. “Moulin Rouge,” your ultimate scene? Visually, anything Baz Luhrmann, just beautifully done.

Unhappy meal: ‘Food activists’ behead Ronald Ronald McDonald is the victim of a crime — and this time the Hamburglar isn’t to blame. A group of artists and activists in Finland kidnapped a Ronald McDonald sculpture from a McDonald’s restaurant and, despite the efforts of police, managed to behead a version of the fast-food icon in a grisly recording shot in the style of terrorist videos. Members of the so-called Food Liberation Army are believed to have kidnapped Ronald McDonald from one of the chain’s Helsinki locations after presenting restaurant employees with phony documents,

•Sushi presentation evolved as a form of marketing. Food artisans wanted to exemplify the simplicity of the food with the beautiful presentation, artful color and decorated dishes. •Sushi was created in the fourth century B.C. in China, not Japan as many believe. •Sushi was not originally prepared as a delicacy, but as a form of preserving fish. Salted fish was kept in fermented rice for several years to help preserve the fish and

HOOPS continued from page 12 As with Washington (17-7, 9-4 Pac-10), conquering WSU (17-8, 7-6 Pac-10) wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be an easy task. Squelching Pac-10 scoring leader Klay Thompson will be Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus. The streaky shooter averages 20.6 points per game, just above UA forward Derrick Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 19.2 points per outing. In Pullman, Wash., Thompson was hounded by Arizona guard Kyle Fogg and limited to 4-for-16 field goal shooting and nine points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he brings a big spark to their team,â&#x20AC;? forward Solomon Hill said of Thompson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once he gets going, you never know who else can get going. He rubs off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dangerous scorer. Klayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always that guy whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to keep them in a game.â&#x20AC;? Thompson has help, too. UA head coach Sean Miller called Cougar forward DeAngelo Casto one of the top five defensive stoppers in the league.

He will surely be WSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key in stopping Williams from having a field day, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to mention the 6-foot-8, 255 pound bruiser â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring around the basket. All will be on the mind of Miller, who expects to see WSU head coach Ken Bone heavily rely upon a 2-3 zone defense, the usual tactic for opposing teams to hinder Arizona and especially Williams. And win or lose against the Cougars, the game against Washington on Saturday carries equal importance as any of the other five remaining contests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting through the weekend to see where everybody is at that point, to me with four games left,â&#x20AC;?

Picked to win the conference, Washington fell into a three-game tailspin and allowed the Wildcats to take claim of first place.
Led by usually-cocky point guard Isaiah Thomas, the Huskies perhaps let a little hubris get to them before the league slate began, saying theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go undefeated in Pac10 play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it kind of backfired on them, saying theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go 18-0 in conference, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to lose, this and that,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a great team at home. But when they go on the road, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as successful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference between us. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a significant drop-off on offense and defense when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the road,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the No. 1 team to beat right now.â&#x20AC;? Confident words from Williams were more handily explained by his head coach, who also gave a more objective warning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the lesson you pick up is it is difficult to win in a conference, on the road, consistently,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. He added: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprise me at all if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play their best basketball at this time.â&#x20AC;?
W-HOOPS continued from page 12 they had, whether it was from the floor or the bench,â&#x20AC;? Butts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were on a tough skid â&#x20AC;Ś and anytime you can get a win, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly going to give everything a better feel.â&#x20AC;? Even though Arizona was able to put together 40 minutes of consistent basketball, senior forward Soana Lucet knows that the next step is being able to do it on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not looking down on any teams, and we know (Washington State) is going to be tough,â&#x20AC;? Lucet said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty good at home and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a good team. We have to go out there and give effort â&#x20AC;Ś and take care of business.â&#x20AC;? Freshman guard Candice Warthen came off the bench on Sunday for the first time since starting Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first matchup with ASU, but she said that her mindset hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I start, I try to do the same things I do off of the bench,â&#x20AC;? Warthen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just try to give energy and defend,

arizona daily wildcat • thursday, february 17, 2011 •
Point guard Momo Jones, middle, has developed a repuation as a selfish player this season, but the sophomore is trying to prove that he is anything but. Regardless of reputation, though, his increase in scoring has helped the Wildcats win six games in a row. Mike Christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat
MOMO continued from page 12 whether we like it or not.” With the recent surge in Jones’ grasp on his point guard duties, Miller has asked Jones to orient his comments more toward the team and winning. “What he should say is, ‘I’ve worked hard all the way, and I’ve taken the bumps in the road,’” Miller said. Jones’ comments have sometimes been taken out of context, Miller said, with the public labeling him as selfish. Rather, his head coach believes he’s been misunder-

stood while learning how to communicate his emotions — those emotions, Miller said, stem from the sophomore’s desire to improve. After all, being the point guard at Point Guard U does have its critics. “Nobody recognizes that he’s been criticized more than him,” Miller said. “Part of Momo (Jones) is he wants to do better. He wants to not prove people wrong but really play a role on a team that can help us get all these things that we’re after. Be part of the solution, not be pointed out as, ‘Boy, if he was a better player Arizona would be better.’ “As he’s played better,” Miller added, “he doesn’t mean to come
across as this self-centered player, this cocky and brash, arrogant guy, as much as to say, ‘I’ve believed in myself all along even though some people didn’t.’” It’s a common theme in Jones’ life, having grown up in a rough burrow of Harlem, New York. Being misunderstood, he said, isn’t the end of the world. All he can do is work hard, and the results will come. “You’re not always going to be understood in life,” Jones said. “That’s what you have to accept. If you let that get in the way of what you’re doing and the person you are, a lot of people aren’t going to be successful in this life.”
Arizona commits snubbed; one recruit left to decide Two of the biggest 2011 high school basketball allstar game rosters were announced this past week and neither featured a future Wildcat, even though Arizona touts three Top 75 Rivals.com recruits, including No. 10 overall player in point guard Josiah Turner. Both the McDonald’s AllAmerican and Jordan Brand Classic went other routes, passing over Turner, guard Nick Johnson and forward Sidiki Johnson. “Sometimes when things like that happen, it serves as a great motivating tool, and when they show up here in Tucson playing for us, they really start off on a great mindset,” Miller said. “The race begins all over again when you’re in college.” Miller could also add one more recruit to the 2011 class. Forward Angelo Chol out of San Diego Hoover High School will announce his decision Thursday.

New bats bringing more adjustments
After the NCAA issued new bat regulations to cut down on power and prevent injury, a new problem has arisen. For the incoming freshmen, the new bats have brought problems that weren’t an issue in high school when they were swinging a standard aluminum bat and could count on hitting home runs with ease. “You’d be surprised at how many guys show up here from very good high school programs throughout the country, and you talk about stealing a base, and reading pitchouts, and hitting and running, and they look at you like you’re speaking a different language,” said head coach Andy Lopez. Regardless of the new bats, the team has been preparing to play the standard Lopez-style of baseball — putting pressure on opponents by stealing bases and hitting and running early and often.

Arizona vs Washington State
Arizona faces tough home series against Washington schools
Losing big games — say, games for conference leads — on the road can be a youthful college basketball team’s most vulnerable moment. For Arizona, that came during a late January trip to play the Washington Huskies. But when the Wildcats dropped the game by 17 points in Seattle , rather than questioning themselves, they instead guaranteed to rally around one another. They did, recapturing a tenacity and focus to win at Washington State, 65-63, two days later. They haven’t lost since. Players called it a turning point. “Even though we lost at Washington, in our mind, we could have won the game,” point guard Momo Jones said, citing Arizona’s dissolved team game in the final minutes. “We don’t want to lose at all. Going to Washington State, that’s a tough place to play also — with their crowd and the atmosphere. They took us down to the wire. “Just us being together as a team kind of got us over the hump.” Saturday’s ESPN GameDay snubbed match-up with preseason conference favorite Washington looms for Arizona (21-4, 10-2 Pacific 10 Conference), but the Wildcats will first do battle with Washington State at 6:30 tonight in McKale Center, looking to sweep the Cougars on the year before exacting revenge against the Huskies. If anything, this week gives Arizona a chance to prove how far it’s come in less than a month. “To me, leaving that (Washington State) game, it continued to feed our team with confidence,” UA head coach Sean Miller said. “It wasn’t like the ship was broke. Sometimes it’s those games that can really turn your season into a special one.”
NBA
Arizona wins if …
The team plays just like it did in Pullman, Wash., less than a month ago. Winning on the road came by way of the Wildcats’ defense, who snuffed out a two-point win in the first game of the current six-game winning streak. Holding Klay Thompson’s shooting below 40 percent would help the Wildcats’ cause as well. So would staying out of foul trouble while contesting shots. While forward Derrick Williams is needed on offense, he’s also the most athletic option on the defensive interior for Arizona.
Washington State wins if …
An expectedly large McKale Center crowd can’t ignite Arizona’s offense into a fast-paced game. If the tempo is slowed and WSU keeps from getting on its heels, they’re talented enough to upset a cruising Arizona team on its home floor. Plus, when the game comes down to a couple possessions, the Cougars do have the advantage of having Thompson, who’s a perimeter threat and the most deadly scorer in the Pacific 10 Conference.
Key players
All of Arizona’s shooters Don’t expect the Wildcats to get many lay-ups against forward DeAngelo Casto and the Cougars. Scoring only 18 points in the paint during their 67-52 victory in Tempe, UA can’t expect to get any more inside opportunities against the WSU 2-3 zone defense and Casto. Guards Kyle Fogg and Momo Jones, and forwards Kevin Parrom and Solomon Hill, will need to knock down some outside shots.

Klay Thompson, WSU It goes without saying that the junior could easily be in contention with Williams and Washington’s Isaiah Thomas for player of the year despite his team’s so-so record. Look at his averages: 20.6 points, 4.2 assists, 5.2 rebounds, 1.1 block and 1.9 steals per game. Is that not the most well-rounded guy in the conference? Anyway, he’s a threat from any angle you slice it; if he hurts UA from too many of those angles, the Cougars are in good shape. — Kevin Zimmerman
Baseball puts finishing Mouth of Momo touches on preseason Jones trying to shake selfish reputation
Players adjust to new bats, offensive schemes

Point guard Momo Jones dropped a season-high six assists against ASU on Sunday, shot 0-for-6 from the field and scored zero points. It probably wasn’t the type of performance to illicit a “just another game” response, nor would Jones reference himself in saying that “bigtime players make big-time plays” had he been available to the media after the game. Jones used those phrases to answer Daily Star reporters after
Arizona’s triple-overtime victory against California two weeks ago, and head coach Sean Miller wishes the perception of Jones wasn’t so different game-to-game “A lot of people may take a lot of the things I say to heart or the wrong way,” Jones said last week. “To me, it’s not trying to be that way or trying to be cocky or things like that. It’s just speaking how I feel. “At the same time, I’ve got to understand who we have to deal with, and sometimes as players we have to cut down on the things that we say, MOMO, page 11
Pressure turns up as season winds down By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Sophomore pitcher Kurt Heyer, who said the quickly approaching season is “really exciting,” will benefit from the bat rules implemented this past offseason. The weaker bats will reduce homeruns and put a further emphasis on offense’s executing “small ball” tactics.
By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT With the start of the season on the horizon, the Arizona baseball team is eager to play against someone other than itself. After finishing last season ahead of where critics pegged them, the young squad is geared up to prove their maturity in what is going to be a very competitive season.
Play ball
The Wildcats commence this season on Friday, with a three-game series against the
visiting North Dakota State Bisons. Although the games are a mismatch on paper, Arizona sophomore pitcher Kurt Heyer, whose 3.26 ERA led the Wildcats last season, said that his team can’t take any opponents lightly. “We’ve been waiting for an enemy this whole time — it’s getting really exciting,” he said. “It doesn’t really matter who we are playing; it’s all about just playing the game. There’s not really anybody on our schedule that we can’t beat, but there’s also nobody on our schedule BASEBALL, page 11
Even though there are still three weeks of Pacific 10 Conference play remaining , the Arizona women’s basketball team knows that it’s running out of chances to claim a spot in the NCAA Tournament. “There’s absolutely more urgency,” said third-year head coach Niya Butts . “If you look at the way we played against ASU, it was certainly with a sense of urgency. I think we’re going to be committed to doing that the rest of the way.” Arizona’s next chance to display that newfound sense of urgency will be tonight, when the Wildcats travel to take on
Washington State (8-17, 6-7 Pac10) — a team that Butts said is much-improved since losing 6458 to Arizona earlier this season. “They’re playing with a lot more confidence,” Butts said. “They’re really shooting the ball well at home, and they put up about 25 3s per game. The difference now is that they’re not just shooting them now, they’re knocking them down.” The good news for Butts is that Arizona is also playing more confidently, and the Wildcats are coming off of what Butts called the best game they’ve played this season — Sunday’s win over ASU. “In terms of a total team effort, everyone gave everything W-HOOPS, page 9
