The dangers of a fake ID Regents

vote to keep cap

By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The average college student does not turn 21 until his or her junior year, meaning approximately half of all undergraduates are not of legal age to drink. Yet, young people flood bars near the UA’s campus, ordering drinks every weekend. Twenty-seven percent of 12 to 20-year-olds drink alcohol, according to the 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Arizona mirrors the national trend with 27.4 percent of respondents drinking in the past month and 16.8 percent of those binge drinking. With 59 minor in possession arrests made by the Tucson Police Department this year to date, students are finding a way to drink underage. “I definitely know that a lot of kids have them (fake IDs),” said Hilary Zenuk, a premedical freshman. “It’s obviously really popular, especially with all the bars on University (Boulevard) and Fourth (Avenue) being nearby. People want to drink.” Zenuk said the riskiest thing about obtaining a fake ID is that people who create them illegally cannot guarantee their reliability. It’s a matter of getting caught. “If someone uses a fake and we notice it, we immediately take it away, call police and file a report,” said Brett Rucker, manager at Gentle Ben’s Brewing Co. Gentle Ben’s doesn’t have many issues with fake IDs, according to Rucker, but nearly all of these fake ID incidents involve UA students. Katie McLaughlin, 23, a bartender at O’Malley’s On Fourth, said that all of the doormen must take a class through the liquor department to ensure they are trained to spot a fake ID. McLaughlin said she and other bartenders at O’Malley’s catch most fake ID users during the weekend and only occasionally during the week. “It pretty much happens every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night,” she said. McLaughlin said O’Malley’s uses procedures similar to Gentle Ben’s to deal with fake IDs. “We do not give it (the ID) back to them under any circumstances,” she said. With a grant from the Arizona

Measure extends out-of-state limit By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Members of the Arizona Board of Regents voted to give a policy extension to the 40 percent cap on out-of-state students during their meeting on Friday. In a unanimous vote, the board gave a two-year extension to the policy that places a limit on the number of out-of-state students Arizona universities can admit at 40 percent of the total university population. Around 30 percent of current UA students are nonresidents. UA President Robert Shelton said that recruiting students from out of state or overseas helps the university from both diversity and financial standpoints and made “good sense.” “Is there anything magic about 40 percent?” Shelton asked. “I can’t argue that. But I do think the 30 percent needs to be relaxed.” Arizona State University President Michael Crow said it is his goal to have students from every country and every state attend ASU, because it “pedagogically advances the enterprise.” He also said he was against the notion of the cap, since it might limit who universities can admit, but that ASU would remain true to its mission to admit all qualified Arizona students. The regents also heard a report from their Legislative Affairs Committee, which discussed forthcoming legislation. Several regents voiced their strong disapproval to proposed bills that would allow the concealed carry of weapons on college and university campuses. Crow said the issue of concealed carry was not so much about safety and that “it goes to the very heart of the value system the university stands for.” “There is no other function for those devices other than to kill the person who is at the other end of their use,” Crow said. John Huppenthal, state superintendent of public instruction, asked for more information on safety from campuses that currently allow concealed carry. Utah is the only state that permits concealed weapons throughout its college and university campuses. He also asked to see a report on safety of students off campus, citing an ASU student who was killed near campus, but off university property. The chiefs of police for all three state universities have come out against concealed carry laws. Regent Board Chair Anne Mariucci said the board should move quickly as a result of its “visceral and immediate consensus” on the issue and directed board staff members to use all available resources to “show a united force in opposition to (the bills).” They also spoke out against a bill that would place a constitutional limit on state spending. Several regents said such a measure might unnecessarily tie legislators’ hands when it came to funding. The board also approved new criteria to help identify low-productivity degree programs. Liz Grobsmith, the provost for Northern Arizona University, said that NAU plans on disestablishing as many as 50 of its degree programs within the next year due to lack of performance and enrollment.

Governor ’s Office of Highway Safety to deal with alcohol and underage drinking, the University of Arizona Police Department aims to show the safety and legal risk involved in using false IDs to get into these bars is far more expensive than the potential bar tab. Once the use of a fake ID has been reported, police can do either one of two things, according to Sgt. Juan Alvarez, UAPD public information officer. The person can be cited and released, as usually happens with students, or they can be arrested and booked into jail for a misdemeanor charge. A person caught trying to use a fake ID could be charged with a Class 2 misdemeanor and receive a maximum of four months in jail and a fine of no more than $750. They could also be charged with a more serious Class 1 misdemeanor, with a maximum of six months in jail and up to a $2,500 fine can be imposed for the charge. “It all depends on the judge,” Alvarez said. In regards to underage drinkers faking their way into nearby bars, Josh Davis, 22, a junior business major, said he has seen bar

employees ask a variety of questions to test the card holder’s true identity. “There’s some (bartenders) that ask what your astrological sign is. The person really has to make sure they know all the information on it,” Davis said. Alvarez said it is common for police to see students returning to campus after hitting the bars. He gave the example of finding separate identifications for two different people in the same wallet, after stopping a person for a law violation or probable cause. The same misdemeanor charges can be applied. UAPD can’t always be on the case. “People at the bars have the right to refuse service to anyone … We just simply don’t have the time to be at every bar, every weekend,” Alvarez said. “We try to avoid acting as an ID checking service.” He added that UAPD needs officers ready to respond to all other issues in order to provide the best service to the community. Tucson Police Department often responds to fake ID cases, depending on the scenario and location.

Restaurant offers food for thought Local barbecue eatery doubles as African-American history museum

Charles Kendrick, center, owner of Mr. K’s BBQ and its adjacent Afro-American Heritage Museum, gives a museum tour to students and parents from UA African American Student Affairs on Saturday. Members of of the group have visited the museum during Black History Month for the last two years.

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Members of the UA African American Student Affairs experienced food and fun during their visit to Mr. K’s BBQ and the Afro-American Heritage Museum. The theme for Black History Month at the UA this year is “Influences of the Past and the Power of the Present,” and organizers scheduled the event at

Mr. K’s museum because of its displays of African-American history in the Southwest. Maria Moore, the program director for African American Student Affairs, said it was the program’s second year visiting the museum and that it is important for UA students to see places in Tucson that recognize African American history. “The numbers (of these places) may be small, but they’re out there,” she said.

To visit Mr. K’s BBQ, call 792-9484. For more information about the UA’s Black History Month, visit www.uanews.org/node/37415 The museum is filled with artifacts that “history books don’t tell,” according to Charles Kendrick, one of the owners of Mr. K’s.

Among the artifacts kept at Mr. K’s are some that honor black cowboys, books from the “Battle of the Bulge” and a 1920s barber ’s chair where men gathered to share stories. The museum, which Kendrick said he has been running for 13 years with his partner Stanman Blair, is non-profit and supported in part by proceeds made from their barbecue restaurant adjacent to the museum. The restaurant’s barbecue ribs are considered to be some of the best in the country. They are identified as one of the 10 best in the West by author Nancy Davidson, who wrote “Killer Ribs: Mouthwatering Recipes from North America’s Best Rib Joints.” They were also featured on the National Public Radio website feature “Summer Reading 2006: Cookbooks.” Maisal Goe, a pre-physiology freshman, said it was her first time at the museum and described it as a “great opportunity” to learn about African-American history in Tucson. Breisha Walton, a political science freshman and intern for African American Student Affairs, said everyone should come experience the museum regardless of race or ethnicity. “It’s history,” she said. Mr. K’s is located at 1830 S. Park Ave. and is open 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

No orientation discrimination

GOP seeks to cut billions

Study: energy drinks pose risk

Conn. tries to lift booze ban

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

The University of Alaska appears poised to ban discrimination based on sexual orientation, just months after Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan vetoed an effort to do so on the city level. The Board of Regents expects to vote today on adding sexual orientation to the university’s nondiscrimination policy. All the testimony on Thursday was in favor of the change. University of Alaska students, faculty and staff members have been pressing the Regents for more than 20 years to ban discrimination against gays. The Regents voted on the idea over the course of four years in 1990s, rejecting it each time. But it’s different this time. University of Alaska President Pat Gamble says it needs to happen and has formally recommended the Regents make the change. The University of Alaska already provides benefits to the same sex partners of its employees.

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House of Representatives has been relentless this week in its determination to chop billions from domestic programs. While it’s been a messy process, there are signs that unlike past bids, this one could succeed at least partially. This week marks the first time in years that lawmakers have been voting consistently to shrink government, even if it means angering constituents and bucking their leaders. The House, where Republicans outnumber Democrats 241-193, approved a spending package early Saturday that would cut more than $60 billion over the next seven months. The vote was 235-189, with no Democrats voting for it and only three Republicans opposing it. The measure would severely pare such programs as job training and employment grants, community health centers, high-speed rail, diplomatic programs, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and more.

Energy drinks packed with caffeine and sugar may pose serious health risks to users, especially children, adolescents and young adults, according to a study by the University of Miami School of Medicine published Monday in the online version of Pediatrics, the peer-reviewed journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. The study, co-authored by Dr. Steven Lipshultz, chief of pediatrics at the UM Medical School, says the drinks “have no therapeutic benefit, and many ingredients are understudied and not regulated.” An 8-ounce can of Rockstar energy drink has twice the caffeine of a 14-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola, the study notes. The energy drink industry disputes the study’s findings: “This literature review does nothing more than perpetuate misinformation about energy drinks, their ingredients and the regulatory process,” said Dr. Maureen Storey, in an emailed response.

HARTFORD, Conn. — From a distance, Jay Hibbard has been watching the emotional, never-ending debate on Connecticut’s ban on the Sunday sales of alcohol in supermarkets and package stores. As the eastern regional vice president for a national liquor manufacturers association in Washington, D.C., Hibbard came to Hartford this month for a key public hearing in an attempt to persuade legislators to lift the ban. Despite watching the issue closely, Hibbard would not make a prediction on whether 2011 will be the year the ban will be lifted. In the same fashion, state Senate Republican leader John McKinney, who favors keeping the ban, also would not offer a prediction on one of the most heavily lobbied issues at the Capitol.

Q Will taking birth control pills affect

my ability to get pregnant later on?

A. Taking oral contraceptives (OCs) can actually improve your future fertility. Birth control pills help lower the causes of infertility by: • Reducing uterine fibroids • Decreasing ectopic pregnancies • Reducing ovarian cysts • Lowering chances of ovarian and endometrial cancer • Reducing endometriosis If you are fertile and healthy (without congenital problems or medical conditions) prior to taking oral contraceptives, you should be fertile after you stop taking them. In addition, using OCs will not affect the age at which you enter menopause (when menstruation and fertility ceases). Some women needlessly worry that it may take a long time to achieve a pregnancy after stopping birth control pills when, in fact, it is safe and possible to get pregnant immediately after stopping OCs. Some women coming off the pill experience a very slight delay in

becoming pregnant (about one month) compared to the time it would have taken if they had not taken OCs. Women are advised to take prenatal vitamins for at least 3 months before trying to conceive.

Protect Yourself & Others from:

In summary, birth control pills are an excellent choice for women who plan to become pregnant in the future. To learn more, check out the Campus Health website at health.arizona.edu

Keep in mind that if a woman takes the pill for 20 years, she will be less fertile because of her age, not the method of contraception she used for two decades. Fertility peaks in the late teens and declines as we age, particularly after age 40. While there are genetic tests for predicting countless medical conditions and disorders you may be predisposed to later in life, there is no crystal ball to forecast whether you will be able to have a baby when you are older. The only true test for fertility is trying to get pregnant.

At least 84 killed during Libyan unrest

50 civilians killed in Afghanistan

image by Stephanie Thayer

China cracks down on protest threats

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Of all the revolutions and attempted revolutions sweeping the Middle East, the one in Libya is the murkiest. It’s taking place in a police state, ruled by one man since 1969, where the handful of foreign journalists are barred from leaving the capital, outgoing international phone service is shut off and, as of early Saturday, the Internet was shut down. Yet the picture emerging is a grim one: leader Moammar Gadhafi’s security troops and foreign mercenaries are using murderous force to try to quell a popular revolt that continues to shake the eastern half of the oil-rich North African country. Residents said there was fresh violence Saturday in Benghazi, Libya’s second city, when regime security forces — possibly snipers — fired on protesters marching in funeral processions for those killed the day before. “Today, it’s a real massacre out there,” said Braikah, who like most Libyans contacted did not want her full name published. She’s a doctor at a Benghazi hospital where the wounded were being taken, calls for blood donations were going out and gifts of food and water for the staff were flowing in. Braikah had no estimate of the dead and wounded. The respected organization Human Rights Watch reported late Friday that 84 people had been killed in the preceding three days of Libyan unrest. That figure grew Saturday, with some sources saying there were tens more deaths in Benghazi alone. Accounts of events in Libya come from telephone interviews with residents and expatriates with contacts in the country; human rights groups; and postings on Internet services such as Twitter, which cannot always be independently confirmed. Whether Gadhafi can crush the biggest threat to his eccentric 42-year rule — which has included military clashes with the United States and responsibility for the 1988 bombing of a Pan American jetliner over Lockerbie, Scotland — remains to be seen. Unlike in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, where protesters gathered by the thousands to oust President Hosni Mubarak in neighboring Egypt, the international media’s TV cameras aren’t trained on Libya. Still, as British Foreign Secretary William Hague said, in the age of Twitter and YouTube, “that does not mean the world is not watching.” Ali, a doctor in the eastern city of al Bayda, pleaded by phone for help in restoring Internet connections, and for United Nations’ attention to the bloodshed. With local police having defected to the peoples’ side, Gadhafi has sent in mercenaries from nearby African countries who were roaming the streets shooting civilians, he said.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Coalition forces said Sunday that they were investigating allegations that more than 50 civilians were killed in a recent operation in a remote part of northeast Afghanistan. The International Security Assistance Force denied that civilians had been hurt in the four-day operation last week in the largely Talibancontrolled district of Ghazi Abad in Kunar province, insisting that only insurgents were killed. Civilian casualties, most often caused by airstrikes, are a source of deep tension between the U.S.-led international coalition and the government of President Hamid Karzai. The coalition has altered its operating methods to try to reduce accidental deaths, which undermine public support while it tries to fight a raging insurgency. Mohammad Shah, a 38-year-old resident of Ghazi Abad district, said that 70 people had been killed or injured in the operation, which he said involved Afghan and U.S. troops. He said coalition forces blocked a road to the area following the attack, hampering efforts to get the wounded to hospital. “After the attack, the road was closed by American soldiers. Only after an appeal by the district chief was one vehicle allowed through to get the injured,” said Shah, speaking by phone from a hospital in the provincial capital, Asadabad. “Nine of my relatives were injured.” Because of the roadblock, Shah said, help managed to get through only on the afternoon of the day after the attack. The wounded in his family included three children, ages 2, 6 and 8. He said that the 2-year-old had lost a leg below the knee. The child and a badly injured woman were taken to a hospital to Jalalabad, in neighboring Nangarhar province, and the others were being treated at the hospital in Asadabad. The coalition said that it had video of the incident, which showed 36 insurgents, carrying weapons, being killed. Nevertheless, it was sending an assessment team to the area to investigate the charges of civilian casualties. Maj. Michael Johnson, a spokesman for ISAF, said helicopters were involved and they had fired bullets, rather than missiles, at the insurgents. “We gained positive identification before firing,” Johnson said. “We had plenty of indication that this was a group of bad guys on the side of a mountain. This was a very rugged area. We have no concern about collateral damage based on where it was located.” In the past, some reports of high civilian casualties have been met with initial ISAF denials, but the coalition later has had to admit responsibility. The Kunar provincial governor, Fazlullah Wahidi, said 51 civilians and 13 insurgents had been killed, along with 13 insurgents. He said the dead civilians included 26 children. He put the number of injured at seven.

BEIJING — Chinese officials on Sunday cracked down against protests, or rumors of them, sending police to detain dissidents and breakup public gatherings in the capital and Shanghai. After Internet messages calling for demonstrations in 13 cities surfaced on Saturday, apparently from Chinese-language sites based overseas, there were reports of activists being preemptively arrested. Very few Chinese responded, and in only a couple of cities, but Beijing’s authoritarian regime still mobilized large teams of police to ensure that all remained quiet. The response by Chinese officials was a reminder of the government’s low tolerance for any hint of political discord. The country’s combination of surveillance, sophisticated management of information, and a willingness to deploy large numbers of security forces has so far allowed it to cut off even the most remote of challenges to the Chinese Communist Party. Online messages spread on Saturday using the phrase “Jasmine Revolution,” a reference to the unrest in Tunisia that ousted the president there and inspired uprisings across the Arab world. Users on Chinese messaging sites, and those able to access Twitter through special software, posted notes saying that university students were warned to stay away from trouble. In the previous two days, state media had signaled that the government is looking to further exert its considerable capacity to maintain order. On Friday, an architect of the country’s Internet monitoring software told a state newspaper that the program, already regarded as among the most stringent in the world, should be strengthened. The next day, President Hu Jintao urged a conference of officials in Beijing to improve “social management.” The state news service Xinhua said that “Hu stressed the importance of information network management, urging an improved management of the ‘virtual society’ and a better guidance of public opinions on Internet.” When Sunday came, the protests fizzled into almost nothing. The overwhelming majority of Chinese residents probably had no idea they’d even been called for— the websites used to advertise the protests are either blocked or heavily censored in China. In Beijing, a crowd showed up in front of a McDonald’s at the large Wangfujing shopping district downtown. But most of those present appeared to be journalists, plainclothes police or curious shoppers wondering why there were so many cameras.

EDITORIAL Jefferson Park debate calls for compromise

ong-term residents near the UA have long battled the constant cycle of students moving into the neighborhood, partying for a couple semesters and moving out. They leave a trail of red cups and noise complaints in their wake, and live in giant eyesores called “mini-dorms,” residents claim. Or they’re relatively quiet neighbors, who really don’t attract very much attention or cause any problems. But they still live in those horrible mini-dorms, which, though newer and better kept than many of the run-down homes down the street, are totally destroying the appeal of Jefferson Park just by being there. Thank goodness for the Tucson City Council, which is on its way to making it easier to keeping those damned kids out of the yard by giving its preliminary approval to a new design manual last week. The council voted 5-2 to give the measure preliminary approval. Mayor Bob Walkup and Councilman Steve Kozachik voted against it. The council will vote on giving the design standards its final approval later. The new design manual limits house size, height and architectural style according to recommendations made by Jefferson Park homeowners, including a suggestion to restrict the construction of a second floor in new homes. Developers and City of Tucson staff pressed for more leniency. Their recommendations do require new homes meet design and aesthetic standards, but would still allow for mini-dorms. The approved restrictions also limit more intensive development on large streets that cross or surround the neighborhood, including North Euclid Avenue, North Park Avenue and East Grant Road. While the homeowners in Jefferson Park have perfectly valid concerns, which deserve to be addressed just as much as those of the developers, this situation calls for compromise. It’s fair for the homeowners to imagine the mini-dorms distract from the cozy charm of their chain-link fences and unkempt yards. But there are also some undeniable truths in the Jefferson Park showdown: First, the college kids aren’t going to go away. You can’t pick up the UA campus and shove it into the desert, far, far away from your precious house. Second, college kids might be assholes sometimes, but that’s just really people in general. They’re not worth a lawsuit. According to Kozachik, the recommendations of the homeowners open the city up to being sued. Local developer Michael Goodman, who believes the manual limits development and therefore, housing options for students, has already sued under Proposition 207, the Private Property Rights Protection Act. The act requires the government to compensate property owners when regulations lower property values. City Attorney Mike Rankin told the Arizona Daily Star the more restrictive the construction standards are, the more exposed Tucson becomes to lawsuits under Proposition 207. “Both sides (the homeowners and developers) are at the point where they’re at such a level of animosity with the other that trying to get them into the same room at the same time to reach a compromise just isn’t going to be productive,” Kozachik told the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Kozachik also said that the City of Tucson staff’s recommendations were a “kind of a middle ground between the neighborhood and the developers” to protect the city from more legal battles. The options are simple. Follow the recommendations of the Jefferson Park residents, follow the recommendations of the developers or follow the recommendations of the City of Tucson. When the council meets again to give final approval to Jefferson Park’s design manual, it needs to remember that the student housing debate isn’t going to have any one clear winner. Everyone’s got a stake in the outcome. But getting sued probably sucks the worst, and the only way to please everyone a little bit is for everyone to give in a little, too. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat editorial board and written by one of its members.

Spring semester sucks Storm Byrd Arizona Daily Wildcat

ay goodbye to flip-flops, spring break vacations and baseball as indicative features of the spring semester. Gone are the days of anxiously looking forward to the spring for its warm weather and, if nothing else, the end of another year of classes if you’re one of those struggling students. For now, and the foreseeable future, spring semester will henceforth be known for tuition hikes. For me, the spring semester is, being that this is only my second year at the UA, and always has been a dreadful period where I wait with covered eyes as my out-of-state tuition skyrockets beyond the oh-so-sexy low number it was when I first came here. Spring semester is now, and most certainly always will be, the time when I honestly wish I could go back to two years ago. Then, I could have just taken the safe bet and stayed in my old state. Spring semester is the time when I wonder if I should have just skipped the challenge of leaving my comfort zone and experiencing something new in a totally unknown environment. I wonder

if I should have just forgone the personal and independent growth I’ve discovered here and just gone to the “University near Mom” (that’s what we call the public university where I’m from). I trust there are more out-of-state students out there pondering the same, or will be when the new numbers come out. While the Arizona Board of Regents has not yet given its official

“

The out-of-state students and their parents don’t live here, they certainly don’t vote here, and they don’t pay more than sales taxes here in the nine months that the students are living here. So what does it matter if the regents reach deeper in their pockets?

numbers, you don’t need 20/20 vision to see the writing on the wall; tuition is definitely going to rise. Factor in the regents’ newfound affinity for out-of-state students and their plan to increase the enrollment numbers for such and it is clear to see where the biggest hike will happen. Now, to be fair, it makes sense that the Board of Regents would try to bring in more out-of-state students and hike up their charge. The out-of-state students and their parents don’t live here, they certainly don’t vote here and they don’t pay more than sales taxes here in the nine months that the students are living here. So, what does it matter if the regents reach deeper in their pockets? What are the out-of-state students really going to do about it? Thus, it all makes sense that the regents would allow the UA to enroll up to 40 percent of its incoming student body from states other than Arizona. The regents mainly see out-of-state students like me as a walking dollar sign. Although UA President Robert Shelton will talk about how we enrich the campus with diversity, I’m just hard pressed to feel convinced that we’re valued at much more than the greenbacks we bring. The school faculty and its student body may embrace us out-of-state-ers but all the regents make us feel like is outsiders. Call the game the way it is, out-of-state students get to play as long as we’re willing to pay … big-time. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.

New pool logo makes a splash By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

A worker continues preparations on Friday for the Student Recreation Center’s swimming pool to reopen today. The newly resurfaced pool now has a large UA logo on the bottom.

After undergoing renovations, the Student Recreation Center’s pool will reopen today. The pool was closed in the beginning of November and drained for the first time in 10 years. The primary goal was to drain the pool so it could be inspected, but the pool was also resurfaced. While the pool was already under construction, workers took the opportunity to add something new. “We actually placed the ‘A’ logo down at the bottom of the pool so it’s got a really cool look to it,” said Chad Jeffry, marketing specialist at Campus Recreation. Jeffry said he felt the look enhances the connection of the pool with the rest of the UA. “It definitely helps with the overall brand,” he said, “… by having that ‘A’ down there and having the recognizable logo of the university, it helps to instill a little pride with the students.” While the pool is open again, the revamping process isn’t completely over yet. Campus Recreation will be adding things like new deck furniture, umbrellas and plants around the pool during March and April.

Five-finger discount failure

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested for shoplifting from the UofA Bookstore on Wednesday at 1:51 p.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to the bookstore and made contact with the bookstore staff. A Loss Prevention employee had detained the man suspected of shoplifting in a conference room on the second floor of the bookstore. The officer met with the man and asked what happened. The man admitted that he had entered the bookstore with the intention of shoplifting around 1:30 p.m. in order to obtain money to eat. The man grabbed some sandals, a cycling uniform, a red suitcase and some pens, placed the items into the suitcase, and left the store. The man said that bookstore personnel escorted him back into the store immediately after he left. The officer then searched the red suitcase the man had in his possession and found all of the aforementioned items. The officer performed a records check on the man and found that the man had two warrants for his arrest through the Tucson Police Department. The man had previously been found shoplifting multiple times at the UA and around Tucson. The man also had an exclusionary order by the UA from his previous offenses. The officer explained the exclusionary order to the man, who agreed not to return to the UA. The officer arrested the man for shoplifting and booked him into Pima County Jail. The bookstore personnel valued all of the stolen items at $290.08.

Dude, where’s your car?

A non-UA affiliated man from Oregon had his friend’s car impounded after driving on a suspended license on Wednesday. A UAPD officer noticed a car fail to stop at the intersection of Fourth Street and Highland Avenue at 12:12 a.m. The officer pulled the car over and the driver of the car identified himself with an Oregon driver’s license. The officer performed a records check on the driver and found that the driver’s license was listed as suspended for failure to comply. The officer confirmed the information with the Beaverton Police Department and arrested the man at 12:26 a.m. for driving on a suspended license. The officer had to impound the vehicle for a mandatory 30-day period. The tow paperwork was given to the owner of the vehicle, who was seated in the passenger seat of the car. The officer took inventory of the vehicle before it was towed and impounded.

Drunk student found passed out in union bathroom

A female UA student was found severely intoxicated in a Student Union Memorial Center bathroom on Feb. 10 at 10:25 p.m. A UAPD officer was dispatched to the union regarding a report from a UA employee about woman unconscious in the bathroom near the U-Mart. The door was locked and the UA employee could not get to the student. The UAPD officer was able to get into the bathroom and found the student in one of the stalls. The officer was unable to get under or over the stall so the officer forced open the door. The student was passed out on the toilet and remained unresponsive during the officer’s many attempts to wake her up. The officer confirmed that the student was breathing and called for medical assistance from the Tucson Fire Department. TFD arrived and revived the student with smelling salts. The student showed symptoms of extreme intoxication including watery eyes and slow, slurred speech. The student was able to identify herself and said that she lived at the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. The student mumbled that she had taken eight shots of alcohol at a date dash. The student was transported to the University Medical Center. The officer followed up with the student’s parents after finding out that the student did not live in Arizona-Sonora. The officer learned that the student lived in KaibabHuachuca Residence Hall, where he found the student the next morning. The officer cited her for a minor in possession and also advised the student that drinking as much as she had the night before was dangerous.

A male UA student’s MacBook was stolen from the Main Library after taking a cigarette break between 11:10 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 9. A UAPD officer responded at 11:39 p.m. to the library and made contact with the student. The student said that he was studying with two other friends on the third floor of the library. The group left their laptops on the study table before going outside to smoke. The group asked another student at the table next to them to keep an eye on their things as they left. The group returned from the smoke break, and the student’s MacBook was gone. The student reported a suspicious man wearing a sweat suit wandering around the area but no one saw who took the laptop. The officer told the student to change access information to saved accounts on the Internet. The student’s parents faxed the officer a receipt for the computer but the receipt was illegible. The suspicious man was not found and there are no additional suspects at this time. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Communication junior How do you feel about being hungover in Friday morning classes? I usually wouldn’t mind but I now feel like I am getting a bad reputation for it. One time I walked into my class Friday, really hung over, and we had to get into small groups and I could tell nobody wanted to be in my group because I was so visibly hung over. Pores reeking of alchohol? Yeah, like right now at this moment. It is definitely a scent of vodka and Sake bombs. Have you ever stolen a car? No. After I saw that movie “The Hangover” I really wanted to steal a cop car, but I feel like it would not go down the same as in the movie. If I were to tell you right now that you only had one day to accomplish your life goals, how would you go about that? I would drop out of school, move home … one day! I would need a lot of money and I don’t know how to acquire all that. I’d be a really good hooker, that’s what I’d do. Favorite song to get down to in the clubs? “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga, it’s my jam. It comes on at IBT’s and they know who’s on the floor. How were you “Born This Way?” Failed birth control.

BALISTRERI continued from page 12 into the national top-10. Arizona didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play a perfect game but made plays when it had to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made mistakes but in the end we won because of our effort, our toughness and our resiliency,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. Williams was the chief of resiliency. With 4:12 to go in the game, the fans at McKale Center saw something that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably never though they would ever see. Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matthew BryanAmaning caught a low post pass, spun off the smaller Kyle Fogg and headed to the rim. But coming from the opposite side of the paint was Williams, who met BryanAmaning there, but it was too late. The star forward, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known for putting opposing players on posters, got posterized in front 14,619 fans, leaving most of the crowd in shock. This was the perfect time for Williams, who was outplayed by the Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bigman at certain stretches in the second half, to mail it in and put his tail between his legs in embarrassment. While Bryan-Amaning sat on the ground staring down Williams following the dunk, Williams simply grabbed the ball from the referee, as if nothing happened, and took it upon himself to respond. In the last few minutes of the game, the star forward turned embarrassment into glory, hitting a 3 from in front of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench to give the Wildcats an 85-84 lead with 2:23 remaining and then made a key block to seal the win. It was the story of the game for the Wildcats. When Washington benefited from Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s miscues, the Wildcats responded by making up for it. In the first half, Fogg committed a bad foul on UWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guard Isaiah Thomas as he took a 3, but 30 seconds later the junior responded with a four-point play.

When point guard Momo Jones turned the ball over with six minutes remaining in the game and Washington up 74-71, Huskies guard Venoy Overton appeared to have an easy breakaway layup. Instead, Kevin Parrom swatted the ball away, preventing Washington from going up five points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kevin Parrom, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many shots he ran down and blocked or tried to,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just proud of the kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; effort when they play like that.â&#x20AC;? All game long, Parrom did his best LeBron James impersonation in transition defense, chasing down Washington players on several occasions to prevent fastbreak points. The types of plays Parrom made could describe Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play in a nutshell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our victory was centered on just rebounding and making hard plays, stepping up and making big plays, not giving in,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. While the team showed the strength to overcome adversity, it all came down to Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Derrick Williams is just such a great player,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing about Arizona is that we have such a spectacular tradition of winning teams, that everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen this before. If you really look at the history of individual players having great seasons, maybe Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m speaking out of turn, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably have to put Derrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season to this point up there with some of the great ones.â&#x20AC;? As Williams stood at mid-court finishing his post game interview, the crowd that stood around began to chant â&#x20AC;&#x153;one more year,â&#x20AC;? and after an electrifying environment at McKale on Saturday, it made the future pro at least think about it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know with games like that, it makes me want to stay,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came in with four other guys and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all I can say. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see after this season.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vincent Balistreri is a communication senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

earned run. Babcock rebounded well from a rough outing against Oklahoma at the Kajikawa Classic last weekend, giving up three hits with no earned runs in two innings of relief work against Texas A&M Corpus Christi on Friday and turning in a two hit shutout against Kennesaw State. The growing pains continued for Babcock against Pacific on Sunday when she was replaced after the Tigers scored three runs in the first three innings. Fowler continued to perform well, going all seven innings against Drake on Saturday and giving up just three hits and one earned run in a 5-3 Wildcats victory. The sophomore pitcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first earned run of the weekend came on a home run by Drake second baseman and fellow Tucson native Torey Craddock. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all good news this weekend, however. The Wildcats had a close call

against Drake on Saturday when an error by junior second baseman Kristen Arriola in the seventh inning allowed the Bulldogs back into the game. Arizona also committed four errors in the 9-1 victory over Texas A&M Corpus Christi. The errors did not prove to be damaging for the Wildcats, but it was their most since a four-error game against California in 2005. The biggest scare for Arizona came in the final game of the tournament against Pacific, a back and forth affair that ended in an 8-6 win for Arizona on Del Ponteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go-ahead solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning. The 3-1 second inning score was the first time Arizona trailed all weekend. The Wildcats took care of business at home â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something head coach Mike Candrea has always preached to his teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make it very uncomfortable for people,â&#x20AC;? Candrea said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to do that throughout the years and home field advantage is very important for us, and we expect to win.â&#x20AC;?

ANALYSIS

I was just waiting on it. He got a travel like that earlier in the game.â&#x20AC;?

continued from page 12

The travel

With the shot clock no longer an issue and 22 seconds left, the Huskies had all the time in the world to win the game. Williams had the defensive assignment on Bryan-Amaning, who had a staggering 24-point, eight-rebound, seven-block performance. With three seconds left, the volume of the McKale crowd covered up a blown whistle, making it appear UW guard Isaiah Thomas had a wide-open 3-pointer off a post kick-out from Bryan-Amaning. Before Bryan-Amaning passed the ball out of the paint, the officials called a travel on the Washington forward, likely surprised that Williams didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump for a block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he traveled before (the official) even called it,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does that up-and-under move a lot.

Off the foot

After the travel call and without a timeout, Hill threw an inbounds pass off the foot of Jones, giving the ball back to the Huskies with 2.2 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was kind of a miscommunication between me and Coach and Momo,â&#x20AC;? Hill said, whose bounce pass went off Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I kind of wanted to throw it deep, but (Jones) wanted to set up a play. It came down to Mo just wanted to get the ball.â&#x20AC;? Miller said he wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve wanted to throw the ball deep, and credited Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense for causing the turnover that gave the Huskies the ball back, leading to Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; important block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I had to do it all over again, if (the players) were talking to me in a timeout,â&#x20AC;? Miller said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have been throwing the ball deep. Sometimes it happens.â&#x20AC;?

Wildcats scratch Huskies

Missed opportunity Arizona gymnasts struggle to keep their balance By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat One winning streak had to come to an end when the No. 24 UA gymnastics team faced off against the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal on Friday. The Cardinal came into McKale Center undefeated for the season, and the Wildcats were riding a 5-meet winning streak. Arizona eventually fell to Stanford 195.300-194.675. “We weren’t sharp enough,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “It was the little things; it wasn’t the gymnastics as much as it was the quality of the little details. We gave away too many tenths.” Stanford averaged a team score of 196.650 this season, but had to settle for a score a full point below its average in McKale. Stanford’s struggles gave Arizona a chance to come back, but the Wildcats couldn’t capitalize. “It was not a great meet for Stanford at all,” said assistant coach John Court. “Stanford is one of the great teams in the country and they are going to legitimately challenge for the national championship.” The Arizona team struggled with the same issues that have plagued it all year. The gymnasts wrestle with little wobbles during their routines, which cost them tenths of points. The small deductions eventually add up, losing Arizona the meet. “It’s definitely a lesson,” Ryden said. “We got to put down all the little details.” The Wildcats continue to struggle on the beam event, at which they have had issues with all year. During Friday’s meet, there were two falls and almost a third before Jordan Williams was able to catch her balance. Ryden said the lack of consistency is frustrating. “Not for lack of effort,” Ryden said. “We just keep looking for that right combination. And sometimes it turns out, and more often than not it has been avoiding us.” Junior Deanna Graham said she continues to believe that the beam team has the skill to be one of the best in the country. “We just need to stay confident out there, the beam is the same beam that we practice on,” Graham said. “We have a very young beam team and I am happy

BASEBALL continued from page 12 one-hit baseball and career-high 13 strikeouts. “It’s almost like pitching in wiffle-ball practice,” Simon said of pitching in wind gusts of up to 30 mph. “I never really strike out guys, but that was nice to have tonight.” Saturday’s game was also when Garcia started his power surge, pounding two balls over the leftfield fence. Garcia swung the momentum in Arizona’s favor in the third inning of Sunday’s game by belting a grand slam after NDSU opted to pitch around Robert Refsnyder to load the bases. “Some pride gets involved there,” Garcia said of NDSU’s decision to face him rather than Refsnyder. “I was seeing (the ball) pretty good, and they kept throwing me inside fastballs, so I took

with the effort everyone is putting out there. “It’s kind of disappointing thinking we had that chance (to beat Stanford). You don’t want to sit there and just dwell. It’s just a matter of putting that meet behind us, working towards the next one and just trying to get better.” Arizona will head out on the road this week, traveling to Utah to compete against Brigham Young University on Saturday. The team has already lost to BYU once this year and hopes to capitalize on its second opportunity against the Cougars.

advantage of it.” Even though Arizona’s performance was nearly flawless during the weekend, it wasn’t without individual struggles. Junior catcher Jett Bandy — tabbed as a preseason AllAmerican by Louisville Slugger/ TPX — went hitless in his first 10 at bats, but singled in two of his final three plate appearances Sunday. “Sometimes the first one is the hardest one to get, but, once you get it, then they start to fall,” Bandy said. “I don’t know what to tell you (about the struggles). I was probably trying to do too much. The game was going too fast, so I tried to slow it down and things started clicking.” Lopez also used the trio of shellackings to get some of his newcomers experience. Konner Wade, a freshman from Scottsdale’s Chaparral High School, made his first appearance

as a Wildcat in Sunday’s game, pitching a scoreless inning with two strikeouts. Daniel Ponce de Leon didn’t give up a run in two-thirds of an inning, striking out both batters he faced. Freshman Jacob Doyle, out of Glendale’s Deer Valley High School, recorded the last out of the game, striking out the only batter he faced. Arizona resumes its season next Friday, when the Wildcats travel to Long Beach State for a three-game series.

Drawing on its depth was the biggest key for the Arizona women’s basketball team as it completed a season sweep of the Washington schools after claiming victory over the Washington Huskies, 74-66, in Seattle on Saturday. For the Wildcats, (16-9, 7-7 Pacific 10 Conference) a quick transition offense was able to force a feeble Washington (10-14, 5-10 Pac-10) squad on its heels for the entire afternoon. Head Coach Niya Butts was most impressed with the cohesive play of her team. “(I’m proud of) the way they came out today and really played together,” she said. “Our bench was awesome, they had tons of energy and they came in and kept the momentum going. It actually gave us a push. We went ahead with the second unit in the ball game, so I couldn’t be happier with the way our team has performed over the last three games.” Starting from the tip, Arizona was able to maintain pressure on the timid Husky defense for the entire game. After forward Soana Lucet laid the ball in to put Arizona on the board in the first minute of play, the Wildcats would control the scoreboard for the rest of the game. With 5:22 left in the second half, Butts decided to rest playmakers Lucet, Davellyn Whyte and Ify Ibekwe to see if her bench could make an impact. The bench stepped up to the challenge. On the backs of reserves Brooke Jackson and Tasha Dickey, the Wildcats took a 38-26 lead with 52 ticks left in the half. Arizona’s second unit performance has been vital to its success as a team, and, with the solid showing on Saturday, the Wildcats have shown how far

they have matured since the start of the season. “We always talk about when your name is called you have to be ready and make the most of your minutes,” Butts said. “And they certainly did that.” The Wildcats kept the 38-26 lead at the buzzer. One of the biggest defensive successes for the Wildcats in the first half was keeping Washington standout Kristi Kingma in check. “We were faced guarding her, (so we) really (stuck) with her, not allowing her any space,” Butts said. “We really did a great job in the first half.” Kingma, unfazed by the attention, came out gunning. “In the second half, she hit some tough shots,” Butts said. “She got a little bit of separation, and she only needs an inch or so to get her shot off, you expect good players to make good plays and that’s what she did.” With 16:18 left to play, Kingma hit a 3-pointer to bring Washington to a four-point deficit. The Wildcats didn’t let the Huskies come any closer for the rest of the game, securing the 7466 win. Despite not getting her usual amount of playing time, Ibekwe still managed to rack up 24 points and haul in six rebounds. Lucet also added up 14 points for her team’s cause. Jackson was the most prolific off the bench for the Wildcats, scoring 11 and tallying three assists and two rebounds. For the Huskies, Kingma finished with a team high 21 points. After a needed confidencebooster weekend for the Wildcats, they return home to Tucson this weekend to take on the southern California schools. In their last meetings, UCLA and Southern California showed just how tough the Los Angeles faithful can be, and Arizona will definitely be banking on the home crowd to give the visitors a similar type of hospitality.

Analysis: Four plays that sealed a wild UA victory Heart of a By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Shocked by the time the buzzer finally sounded, Sean Miller couldn’t find the right words when shaking Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar’s hand. “I was so caught up in emotion, I think I said, ‘Good win,’” Arizona’s men’s basketball head coach said at the postgame press conference, using the time to correct himself. “I didn’t mean to say that. What I meant to say was, ‘What a game.’ It’s almost a shame they had to lose by the way they played.” In a contest where Arizona led for the most part, the Huskies rallied and made Saturday’s 87-86 Wildcat victory in McKale Center a downto-the-wire contest. The outcome was due to where the ball bounced and a wild finish that included a series of gamechanging plays. Here’s a breakdown of the four most critical plays in the

final minute that gave UA the win.

The block

Of course, forward Derrick Williams’ shot block pretty much ended Washington’s upset bid. With 2.2 seconds and the ball on the baseline for an inbounds play, the Huskies got forward Darnell Gant a touch on the right block. Coming from the weak side, Williams, who scored 26 and grabbed 13 rebounds , blocked the shot into the stands, leaving just 0.2 seconds for the Huskies to tip a pass into the basket. Considering Arizona only had two fouls to give, Miller instructed his players to be careful. “Basically, Coach was like … if he gets close to the basket, don’t foul him,” Williams said. If UW got a pass outside of the 3-point line, the Wildcats could foul the Huskies to force them into another inbounds

play with less time on the clock. But if the ball got into the interior, a foul would likely be a shooting foul, and Arizona couldn’t afford a three-point play. With Gant receiving the inbounds pass in the paint, Arizona’s players had two options. “Get ready to get the defensive rebound or try to block it,” Williams said. “I knew he was going up, so just try to block it, and I did.” That came at a risk of a goaltending call, but Williams said he jumped before Gant released the ball, leading him to believe it was not yet on a downward trajectory. “That’s a tough call to make,” Miller said. “He really went up and got it at the peak of the shot.”

champion COMMENTARY BY Vincent Balistreri sports writer

Arizona whited out some of the bad memories of the last four years and showed the heart of a Pacific 10 Conference champion in McKale Center on Saturday. The fans acknowledged the past when Lute Olson appeared during the pre-game presentation, but it was current head coach Sean Miller that began to write his own legacy after beating Washington. Derrick Williams’ game-saving block inched the Wildcats closer to a Pac-10 title and likely BALISTRERI, page 9

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez couldn’t have asked for a better start to the 2011 season. Powered by senior Josh Garcia’s three home runs and six RBI during the weekend, No. 19 Arizona hit and pitched its way to a sweep of North Dakota State, outscoring the Bison 302 over the three-game series at Frank Sancet Stadium. “I’m happy with how the weekend went,” Lopez said. “We’re always looking for solid pitching, which we got all weekend, and I thought our defense was outstanding. I’m real happy about that. It’s hard for me to think of something that I’m not happy with.” Even though Lopez was pleased with how his team played, he said that it was the type of performance that he expected entering the weekend. “I really felt pretty good about this group going into the weekend,” Lopez said. “I would have been very disappointed if we wouldn’t have performed well this weekend.” Arizona got the series started off on the right foot on Friday,

Solomon Hill’s layup with 22 seconds remaining. He wasn’t the main player in the offense set either. Point guard Momo Jones and forward Jesse Perry were running a pick-and-roll on the right wing. Meanwhile, Hill stood on the left block and noticed his man was eying the ball. “It was kind of (a) breakdown,” Hill said. “When you get in a situation like that, my man was looking. He was really just looking at the ball, wasn’t really paying attention at me.” Jones penetrated and dropped off the pass to Perry on the right baseline, where his shot was blocked by UW forward Matthew Bryan-Amaning — blocked right into Hill’s hands. “I stayed on the block, and Jesse (Perry) happened to drive and got it tipped,” Hill said. “I was able to put it up.”

The Arizona softball team showed its potential in all areas at the Hillenbrand Invitational this weekend with wins over Drake, Kennesaw State, and University of the Pacific as well as two wins against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Whether it was on offense or defense, the No. 4 Wildcats used their first home stand of the season to display their capabilities. The team’s bats were particularly impressive, producing 45 runs in five games with 15 home runs. Senior catcher Stacie Chambers provided five of those, including two grand slams in the Wildcats’ first game

against Texas A&M Corpus Christi on Friday. Chambers also singled in a run, giving her nine RBI for the game, tying her career high. Junior Lini Koria added four home runs, senior Brittany Lastrapes and sophomore Brigette Del Ponte each had two, and senior Lauren Schutzler and sophomore Baillie Kirker both hit their first of the season. The Wildcats were equally impressive in the field, allowing only 10 runs for the tournament.
