Tuition may go up by more than $2K Shelton proposes steep hike to offset massive state budget cuts By Matt Lewis ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Political science freshman Hugo Polanco gets a key chain from Whitney Kraner dressed as a chicken as anthropology senior Cate Clifton looks on. Kraner and Clifton are part of student club called Arizona Public Interests Research Group, collecting petition signatures in order to get on the Associated Students of the University of Arizona ballot to receive funding.

Signatures soaring By Laura Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona Public Interests Research Group (or PIRG) successfully reached its second-day goal of 2,000 signatures on Tuesday, in order to get on the Associated Students of the University of Arizona ballot for funding. PIRG needs 4,000 signatures by the end of the week to get on the ballot. PIRG is a non-profit, non-partisan public interest group that seeks to become a student-funded chapter. If they are put on the ballot, the PIRG initiative would require students to pay a $1.50 per semester. “The proposed fee is $1.50, but students who don’t support the program could get their money back,” said Whitney Kraner, UA’s PIRG campus coordinator.

Students would have to go through a similar process to get their money back as they would to get the money back for the Student Recreation Center fee. The money from the fee will go toward hiring professional staff, like organizers and advocates that will help PIRG run grassroots campaigns on campus and lobby on the university’s behalf in Phoenix and in Washington, D.C. PIRG volunteers spent Monday and Tuesday getting student signatures on the UA Mall, and they will be there again today. Last year, PIRG requested a $2 per semester student fee and the ballot measure did not pass. “Instituting fees should only be done in the name of furthering the academic mission of the UA,” said Evan Lisull, a political science senior,

Group lobbying for support to join ASUA ballot for funding

with regards to the PIRG initiative. “Funding an organization that has no significant divergences from the Green Party platform does not even incidentally contribute to this goal.” PIRG will not be spending the money from the fee on students, however. “As PIRG itself has stated, this money will be used to ‘hire our own professional staff,’” Lisull said. “Arizona students are already paying a $4-per-year fee towards a lobbying organization — the Arizona Students’ Association — that works on issues that pertain to ‘student interests’ on a local, state, and federal level.” PIRG needs 5 percent of students on campus to sign the petition in order to get on the ballot. “We want to civically engage students on campus on a number

of issues we’re learning about every day,” Kraner said. “We would also like to be able to hire advocates so all our work on campus will be heard in back rooms where policies are being made.” PIRG created themes for each day they are petitioning on campus. Monday had a “Go Green” theme, for which volunteers wore green, and students got their names put on a big cardboard tree. Tuesday’s theme was “Don’t be a chicken, sign a petition because social change is hard work!” A volunteer wore a chicken costume to advertise the petitions. Today’s theme will be “Arrgh you ready for social change?”There will be a volunteer dressed as a pirate. The final ASUA ballot will be released on March 9 and 10.

Rec Fest rocks By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Day two of the Student Recreation Center’s grand opening Rec Fest, was in full swing Tuesday, with events, prizes and food. The first 75 students at Rec Fest got to choose from a variety of gift certificates. Students could also register to win other prizes, such as a signed basketball or a bike. “We tried to secure a variety of different vendors,” said Juliette Moore, director of Campus Recreation.“It’s our way of showing students how much we appreciate them.” Students also got to take advantage of a variety of free services, such as massages, manicures and haircuts, Moore said. “It’s pretty awesome, I don’t get a free

manicure that often,” said Stephanie Reed, a pre-architecture freshman. According to Moore, the UofA Bookstore donated free Chick-Fil-A for the event. Other food included Cliff Bars, popcorn and snow cones. “It seems pretty cool, I like all the free food,” said Taylor Bohach, a mechanical engineering freshman. Students also had a chance to compete for prizes and participate in bouldering, basketball and indoor soccer, Moore said. “It’s a great way of giving back, and it doesn’t cost us anything,” Moore said. A personal trainer was also available to answer students’ questions. “I come here to work out everyday, so it’s nice to have more people checking out the Rec,” said Kaci Kolberg, a prepharmacy freshman.

UA President Robert Shelton sent a proposal to the Arizona Board of Regents on Friday to raise tuition for the 2010-11 academic year. If the increase passes, instate undergraduate and graduate tuition would increase by $1,450, to $7,224 and $8,014 respectively. He has also suggested raising nonresident tuition by $2,000, to $22,983 for undergraduates and $23,276 for graduate students. The proposal also includes an increase in base tuition for UA South’s in-state students by $500 for undergraduates, which would raise their tuition to $5,453. Resident graduate students and all non-resident students at UA South would pay the same base tuition as students at the main campus. Jonathan Garcia , a pre-law and criminal justice junior, interns as captain of the tuition campaign with the Arizona Students’ Association. He is struggling as a result of tuition increases. “I have to work probably two jobs next semester, and it’s not easy,” Garcia said. He works at the UofA Bookstore to pay for school. “Working another job would just be an obstacle for trying to pursue this dream that I’m trying to get,” Garcia added. Garcia hopes to go to law school and eventually practice law in Tucson. “We’re very concerned about the increases that have been proposed and how they’re going to affect affordability for students and families in tough economic times,” said Elma Delic, ASA’s board chair. She added that ASA believes that the regents need to ensure affordability and keep their promise of predictability by determining how much families can afford. “In general, we need to maintain quality at the university, and we need to maintain access to a university education,” said Johnny Cruz, UA assistant vice president of communications. “The proposed increases in tuition will enable the university to continue providing quality in spite of the massive reductions in state funding.” Cruz said the university’s commitment to financial aid is “as big as it ever has been.” According to a press release issued last week, 54 percent of in-state undergraduate students graduated with no debt. The press release also mentioned that the UA is maintaining “its commitment to Arizona Assurance, a financial and academic aid program that offers four years of debt-free education to select Arizona residents who meet the UA’s admissions

News Tips

Keith Willaims

Math freshman Have you been following the Winter Olympics? Somewhat. I’m more of a summer fan. Who would you say is probably the hottest U.S. female athlete? Oh my God, I’m pretty sure I’m not one to tell you. I’m not straight so I don’t know. Out of all the events, what’s your favorite? Speed skating, short distance speed skating. Any reason why? It’s quickest and it has the most intensity because it all comes down to the last three strides of your skate. What would you say is the worst event? God. Curling. Why is that? I don’t know. It’s like sweeping. It’s like chore work on ice. It’s household chores, thrown onto ice. What’s your take on figure skating overall? I think it’s cool for the person. If you can tolerate it then I’d say it’s more kudos to you. It’s kind of iffy. Again it’s kind of cool how they can defy gravity. They are really graceful on the ice, it’s just they have crappy music. What sport in the Winter Olympics that’s not in there would you like to see? I think just to see what type of commentary they could throw on there, ice sculpting. Why not? Like fast paced ice sculpting I think that would be interesting. Would you say it would be like the Great Outdoor Games meets the Winter Olympics? Yeah. Probably Canada would dominate that anyways because they’re all lumberjacks anyways. Speaking of Canada, they’ve been saying that they’re upset with the fact that they haven’t won a lot of medals. At least this is one sport they could probably beat the U.S. in? Yeah we have to give them something. They’re always going to be second best in North America we might as well let them beat us in something. But I’m sure we will come up with some academy in Texas that is really good at ice sculpting, because Texas has everything. Out of the sports that are going on now, which one would you like to see them get rid of? Ice dancing. I don’t care for it. It’s kind of boring. It’s weird I don’t really have an opinion because I usually do. It’s just boring. And they wear the weirdest outfits; it’s like Lady Gaga on ice. Actually, that would be cool — Lady Gaga on ice.You should write that (Laughs). The only way I’d say keep ice dancing in the Winter Olympics is if Lady Gaga was performing. I think we’re going to end it on that. —Rodney Haas

The advising office in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building houses this retired competition plane that hangs from the ceiling. The plane, which was designed and built by UA AME students, was part of a national aeronautical engineering competition where it had to transport a vessel of water that was attached to the bottom of the plane.

Louisiana woman pleads guilty to selling children NEW ORLEANS — A Louisiana woman has pleaded guilty to selling two children for a cockatoo and $175 in what her attorney called an attempt to do a good thing that went wrong. “It was a really clumsy attempt at an adoption proceeding,” said Steve Sikich, attorney for Donna Louise Greenwell of Pitkin. “She was trying to help the children and get them situated.” Greenwell, 53, was sentenced Monday to 15 months of hard labor on each of two criminal counts: sale of a minor. The sentences are to run concurrently. The case centered on a 5-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl in Greenwell’s custody. Investigators said she called Paul J. Romero, 46, and Brandy Lynn Romero, 27, of Evangeline Parish early last year after seeing a flyer they posted offering a cockatoo for sale, and offered to deliver the children for about $2,000. When the Romeros said they could not afford that, a deal was struck for

the bird, valued at $1,500, plus cash. Greenwell had custody of the children for more than a year before meeting the Romeros, Sikich said. Her lawyers have maintained she was just trying to find a better home for them. “They were undernourished and not well taken care of,” Sikich said. “It’s my understanding that the mother had requested that she take care of the kids.” Another lawyer for Greenwell had said previously that they children were “abandoned to her care.” Neither the children’s’ mother or father could be located, Sikich said. The $175 was to cover the cost of an attorney to transfer custody of the children to the Romeros, Sikich said.The cockatoo was a gift to Greenwell’s granddaughter, he said. Greenwell’s sentences were part of a plea deal worked out with the Evangeline Parish district attorney’s office. Sikich said Greenwell could have faced

up to 10 years on each count and another 20 years as a habitual offender. The district attorney agreed not to file charges against Greenwell as a habitual offender as part of the plea bargain, Sikich said. “She did not have a good attorney for two previous counts, which left her with a record she didn’t really deserve,” he said. He said the charges were for issuing worthless checks and seconddegree battery. The Romeros, of Eunice, La., pleaded guilty to two felony counts of sale of a minor child, the district attorney said in an earlier statement. Their five-year prison sentences were suspended in exchange for their testimony against Greenwell, the statement said. The district attorney’s office did not return repeated calls Tuesday for comment. —The Associated Press

LONDON — The Beatles’ Abbey Road Studios were officially declared a historic building Tuesday, a move that will help preserve the cultural landmark that is a magnet for fans worldwide. The crosswalk outside the iconic north London studios draws tourists with cameras daily, and the facilities have also hosted Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck and Radiohead and are still popular with orchestras. But their cash-strapped owner EMI Group Ltd. says the studios have been losing money for years and has only recently shelved plans to sell them. While EMI now says it’s looking for money to help revitalize the studios, news that it was seeking to offload Abbey Road sparked dismay among music fans. Former Beatle Paul McCartney said he hoped it could be preserved, while English Heritage — the body that oversees buildings of historic interest — appealed to the government to name it a historic building. English Heritage spokeswoman Helen Bowman said government’s move “has probably been sped up” by recent speculation over the studios’ future. In a statement, English Heritage Chief Executive Simon Thurley said the Georgian building housing the studios “acts as a modern day monument to the history of recorded sound and music.” “Some of the most defining sounds of the 20th century were created within the walls of the Abbey Road Studios,” he said. “It contains, quite simply, the most famous recording studios in the world.” — The Associated Press

Cruz said. According to Cruz, the university sustained a $100 million cut, reducing the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state funding to the level of fiscal year 2006. He said that $40 million was permanently cut from the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Approximately $60 million in stimulus funding has temporarily supported the UA, but that money will run out within two years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This proposed tuition increase covers some of that but not all of that,â&#x20AC;?

SAGE fee proposed to ASUA By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will receive an update from the program for Students Advancing Green Enterprises Fund about the need for a new sustainability fee. ASUA will meet in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center at 5 tonight. One aspect of UA President Robert Sheltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tuition and mandatory fee increase proposal, submitted late last week, proposes a bid for a new sustainability fee which students do not currently pay.

EDITORIAL

Tuition proposal excessive, not in the best interest of the students

hat’s going on: UA President Robert Shelton released a recommendation this Monday to the Arizona Board of Regents concerning tuition for the UA next year. As the Arizona Daily Star reported, Shelton is recommending ABOR set in-state tuition for undergraduates at $7,224 and out-of-state undergraduates at $23,276. This is an increase of 31 percent for in-state students and an increase of 12 percent for out-of-state students. Why it matters: The President of the University should not be drafting recommendations that will so detrimentally effect every one of the UA’s current and future students. The leader of a university should consider and promote the best educational and economic interests of the more than 38,000 undergraduates and more than 10,000 graduate students. It is not the role of the president to advocate a tuition increase of nearly one-third for an equivalent or inferior education, treatinging students as just a revenue stream. In a normal market situation, consumers would be able to react to a drastic increase in price by taking their business elsewhere. But students already enrolled at the UA will have to pay this sudden, increased cost in order to complete their degrees. A regular company would suffer if it suddenly raised prices without improving the product. But whether by state boundaries, financial limitations, ties to Tucson, or other reasons, UA students are bound to this campus and whatever cost the administration imposes. Students are captive consumers who can’t exercise choice with their money. The last person who should be recommending what some might see as extortion of UA students is the man holding the highest office of this university. President Shelton says that only one-third of students will pay the full price of this new higher tuition. The financial aid of current students won’t miraculously increase by 31 percent to cover the increase in tuition. Many students have carefully budgeted UA tuition, considering only the regular rate of increase. Asking students to swallow $2,000 more dollars per year will make it impossible for many students to finish their degrees. What of the third of students who will have to change their financial plans in order to accommodate every single dollar of the increase? Do those students and their families who don’t qualify for financial aid somehow deserve to be charged more ? The real issue here is the poor management of state funds. President Shelton would not have to raise tuition to this degree if the state had not eliminated $100 million in funding to the UA. In the November elections, students should select their candidates with an extra $2,000 dollars of debt in mind. We must select leaders who support allocating funds to higher education, as well as elected officials who can manage money without having to lease the state capital and pass their debt onto a bunch of college students. ABOR should not approve this tuition increase. This reduces the accessibility and viability of a UA education for all prospective students. Though the UA does not exactly operate in a real market, a real recommendation would be for President Shelton and the state legislature to take a class (if they can afford it) in worth, cost, value, and how much their captive market can bear. It is wrong to recommend a 30 percent increase in price for a zero percent increase in value. Students are not mindless, faceless revenue streams. ABOR will be holding a tuition hearing at 5 p.m. on March 1 in Harvill building room 211. Join us in presenting what is really in the students’ best interest.

Put the brakes on iPhone app

‘Which thing is not like the other?,’ Feb. 23

Mr. Ben Bassat, creator of the new iPhone application, ASafeDrive 3.0, hold on just a second.You’re trying to tell me that I can download an application for my phone that will tell me my speed and the speed limit of the road on which I am traveling? What a creative invention! I guess I didn’t notice the speedometer on my car, which has existed since about 1910 or the posted speed limit signs, which have been around since before the modern automobile, because I was busy updating my Facebook status while driving and wondering aloud about another phone application to distract me further! I understand we are in a technological age, but seriously? Phone usage while driving is bad enough as is, and if the‘No Texting While Driving Act’ passes the Arizona House of Representatives, the new excuse to police officers will be“But Sir, I was just checking my speed!”Keeping a quick eye on your speed and the signs that are on the side of the road is hardly a distraction, as your head and eyes remain forward. The idea for ASafeDrive as a phone application is creative, I suppose, but please, how about just paying more attention to your driving instead of endangering others by using your phone? Eric Kolb Public management and policy senior

Great piece, timely and vitally important to start voicing opinions now, seeing as how this will be voted on in only three weeks at the next ABOR meeting. Concerned Well, with the tuition increases over the last few years, there hasn’t been a drop in enrollment — it’s actually increased. If you can’t pay, they’ll find someone who can pay. And that’s what they have been doing. Dave

‘Thou shalt not mix religion and government,’ Feb. 22

What a great idea! Spend money the state does not have to erect a statue that we don’t need. At the same time, the state legislature is wasting time and money even writing and debating this (not to mention the cost of building and erecting this BS). They have cut money for adult education, university education, K-12 education, homeless shelters, domestic violence centers, programs for the disabled and the list could go on and on. Way to go, Arizona Republicans! Ariel

On angels’ wings

Matthew Shepard died at 21 — killed because he was gay. At his funeral, an anti-gay group of people carried signs bearing offensive slurs against homosexuals. In response, a group of Matthew Shepard’s friends built sets of angel wings to separate the anti-gay protest from the funeral itself. At the UA, Brother Jed made numerous misogynist, racist, homophobic and otherwise hateful remarks. A particular chant sticks out in my mind that goes something like“No, no homo.” In response, a group of UA students built sets of angel wings rigged with PVC pipe and bedsheets to separate the hateful remarks from the rest of campus. It’s a breachable barrier. But it’s a barrier for those who’d prefer not to listen to what he has to say. Sean Pagaduan Business administration senior

Snow joke: Rail Jam bummer for the earth

Regarding the Cricket Campus Rail Jam Tour: It is doubtful that the people, who steal from surrounding mountains, including the individuals who bring down a load in their pickup, are aware that their actions are hastening the destruction of delicately-balanced ecosystem. The flora and fauna of both the mountains and surrounding valleys depend on the water from snowmelt for survival. It is a travesty that desert-dwelling humans don’t know or care that their few minutes of fun will add to the destruction of a very special area. By the way, isn’t it illegal to remove anything from out national forests? Sandra Almasy Tucson resident

Aside from the fact that only two of the Ten Commandments are actually laws, it is funny and disgusting how Sen. Pearce, or anyone for that matter, can get away with making the claim that if everyone followed the Ten Commandments, then the world would be a better place. The First Commandment is to hold no gods before the Judeo-Christian one. Does that mean it is Sen. Pearce’s opinion that the world would be a better place if everyone followed the Judeo-Christian god? In other words, does Sen. Pearce believe the world would be a better place if everyone was either Jewish or Christian? How is it that in a pluralistic society such as these wonderful United States, someone can make such an ethnocentric statement without having to retire in disgrace? Concerned voter The Ten Commandments form the foundation of our laws? Yeah, just the other day I was arrested for not honoring the Sabbath and worshiping a false idol. Zac Finger You need to read the U.S. Constitution.You need a trip to Washington D.C. to see the 10 Commandments and other biblical teachings built into the Supreme Court and other buildings there — not in recent times, either. There is no mention of the“separation of church and state”in the Constitution. It sounds like you are regurgitating what the progressives are teaching in school from kindergarten to college, as they re-write history.You are ignorant of the facts. Don’t take my word for it, research it yourself. Danielle

America: A nation divided

would become the norm and mutual understanding he United States witnessed a groundbreaking moment with the election of Barack Obama. But would be achieved. after the smoke clears from a heated campaign, It is not Obama’s declining opinion polls — from 68 what hope is there for a unified nation? percent to 23 percent among U.S. citizens since March My experience in America has shown me a nation — that is the most alarming thing for Europeans. It is the degree of hatred that is shown to him from the divided. As a keen follower of contemporary politics, Republican right. If America is divided so severely, I have never witnessed a democracy this vehemently polarised, with its people’s beliefs, creeds and races then how can it hope to provide the guiding light as this juxtaposed. I have seen a country the world’s most powerful purveyor of that threatens to be defined by democracy? As an Englishman living in the sectionalism of the Democrat/ America, the furor surrounding Republican divide. At no other juncture is this conflict more apparent Obama’s presidency has been a as it is around one subject: particularly fascinating one. While President Obama. had always been familiar with the Jan Flisek-Boyle Ibitter campaigning of opposition He first broke into office among Columnist parties in European politics, I was a tidal wave of optimism, yet few predicted that the“change we can believe in”would shocked to discover the extent to which politics has still be unfulfilled one year on. Rather than a unified left America as a nation divided. The U.S. healthcare belief that“Yes we can,”recent opinion polls appear to debate has caused thousands of Republicans to attend“tea party”demonstrations, depicting Obama show that the average American citizen is thinking, in virulent terms, representing him as Nazi and “No, we can’t.”Many Europeans had hoped that murderer. American news coverage is dominated Obama would offer a reunification of world politics. by news channels so politically-biased that they By electing its first black president, America appeared to be guiding the way for a world in which equality seem to portray the“other”as Satan personified,

and themselves are a heavenly purveyor of truth. Laughably, Fox News — recently lambasted by the Obama administration as being a Republican mouthpiece — proudly portrays the moniker“Fair and Balanced”on its broadcasts. Call Fox News what you will, but it is about as balanced as a wolf in a sheep’s pen, and it attacks its prey with equal ferocity. America is defined and divided by morality. While Republican morality is rooted in religion, Democrats appear to have their ideas more firmly rooted in modern science. Many die-hard religious Republicans appear disgusted at an issue that causes a partisan divide: abortion. What debate is more morally influenced? Race also creates a clear defining line. Many readers may be shocked to hear that, in the U.S., black men are twelve times more likely to be arrested for drug offences than their white counterparts (“Racial Disparities Found to Persist as Drug Arrests Rise,”New York Times, May 6, 2008), a significant cause of racial tension. Economic disparities too, appear to occurr along the racial line. Cities usually vote Democrat and are incidentally dominated by poverty, and many of those who live in poverty typically represent ethnic

minorities. The election of Obama, therefore, may be a sad representation that, rather than overcoming any racial divide, America’s young, poor and ethnic population is growing. Perhaps in the future, as these divisions are greater realised, it will not be unusual for a person to ask, “Did you go to the blue or red United States?”Yet, if Americans want to maintain the sovereignty of which they are so proud — since telling my British ancestors where to stick it — then they should find a common ground. If you want to do yourself proud, America, do something as simple and American as having a friendly discussion.You must take heed from your own history. One can divide the United States across the countless social, economic and racial lines that have separated it in the past. The election of Obama and the breaking of these lines represent a great potential hope for American future. Reunite yourselves, and you will achieve more than you can imagine. But if you continue to despise your national opposition, well, we all know what happened last time there was such a significant divide. — Jan Flisek-Boyle is an English exchange student.

POLICEBEAT By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Man gives officers some exercise

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the intersection of Cherry Avenue and Mabel Street on Friday at 9:10 p.m. in reference to man acting disorderly. A police aide called UAPD after he noticed a man yelling at random people and taking an aggressive stance. The aide also reported that the man might have broken a street sign. A UAPD officer attempted to make contact with the man as he started walking into oncoming traffic. When the officer told the man to get out of the street, he noticed the man was stumbling and appeared to be intoxicated. The man began to run north on Cherry Avenue when he saw the officer. When both UAPD officers began to run after him, he ignored commands to stop. The man was chased to the intersection of Drachman Street and Ring Road. Then, another UAPD officer who patrolling the area saw what was happening and got out of his patrol car. When the man noticed the additional officer, he stopped running and lay down on the ground on his back. He was immediately placed in handcuffs. The man told the officer he was sorry for running and that he was drunk and stupid. He also told the officers that he thought they needed exercise and that he hoped they had some fun chasing him. The officer reported the man as having watery, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelling of alcohol. The man refused to say what he had been drinking or where he had gotten the alcohol. He was then arrested for minor in possession in the body and resisting arrest. The officers transported and booked the man into Pima County Jail.

Talk about a beer run

A UAPD officer noticed a man enter a 7-Eleven at 1001 E. Speedway Blvd. on Friday at 5:33 p.m. and leave carrying a 30-pack of beer. The officer reported that the man locked his bicycle to a bike rack at 977 E. Speedway Blvd. and then entered the 7-Eleven wearing khaki shorts and a black hooded sweatshirt. When the man exited the store, he took off running, carrying a 30-pack case of Budweiser beer. The officer notified two Tucson Police Department officers as the man was running through the Park Avenue parking garage. The officer then saw the man carrying the beer while walking west on Helen Street on the north side of the parking garage. When the man was told to stop and put the beer on the ground, he responded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What? What?â&#x20AC;? and set the beer down and took off running. As he was running north, the officer lost sight of him and told the other officers over the radio he was running toward the apartment complex at 1010 E. Mabel St. While checking the area of the apartments, the officers saw that the man had taken off his shirt and left it on the ground. The officer then returned to the area of the parking garage to wait for the man to get his bicycle. At 6:06 p.m., the officer saw the man return to get his bike and notified TPD that he was there. The staff at the 7-Eleven stated they would like to press charges.

Rising costs leads to stolen textbook

A UAPD officer was called to the UofA Bookstore at 1209 E. University Blvd. on Friday at 10:16 a.m. in reference to a shoplifter. The UofA Bookstore security officer told the officer that he saw the man walk into the bookstore, pick up a textbook and walk out without paying for it. The man was then confronted at the Student Union Memorial Center roundabout and was asked if he had a receipt for the book. He told security he did not. The man was then escorted back to the bookstore and put into custody until UAPD arrived. The UAPD officer reported that the man was very polite and remorseful about shoplifting. The man told the officer he stole the textbook, â&#x20AC;&#x153;African Spirituality: Forms, Meanings and Expressions,â&#x20AC;? worth $45, because he could not afford it after spending all of his financial aid money on courses and rent. The man was cited and released for shoplifting. A receipt for the book, video surveillance of the incident and photos of the textbook were placed into property as evidence. A Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students regarding the student. Victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights were also mailed to UA Risk Management.

Birthday ends badly

A UAPD officer was on patrol near the Yavapai Residence Hall on Friday at 2:39 a.m., when he noticed someone who appeared to be sleeping slumped over on a bench. When the officer approached the bench to conduct a welfare check, he noticed that the woman was awake. As the officer asked her if she was OK, she picked up her cell phone and started to talk and sway back and forth. The officer noticed that her eyes were red and watery and that her speech was slurred. When the woman reached into her wallet to give the officer her identification, she pulled out an identification card and then quickly put it back into the wallet stating, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wrong one.â&#x20AC;? The officer asked for the ID card she put back and saw that it was for a woman who was six year older than her. The woman told the officer that the name and age on the ID were not hers, and she gave him her actual ID. The woman told the officer she was a resident at Yavapai Hall. As he was talking with her, he could smell alcohol coming from her breath. He also noticed a clear plastic bottle with a red cap that was open in her backpack. The officer asked the woman what was inside the bottle, and she pulled it out and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, you can have it.â&#x20AC;? The officer reported that the bottle was a 1.75 liter of Fleischmannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vodka, which was about three-quarters of the way full. The woman stated that it was her birthday and that she had taken a few drinks of vodka. She said she only used the fake ID twice to get into 21+ nightclubs. She was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol and possession of a fake ID. The incident was reported to the Dean of Students, and the woman was escorted to her dorm room.

W-swim, dive off to Pac-10s By Derek Lawrence Arizona Daily Wildcat

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona freshman guard Momo Jones expresses frustration during the Wildcats’ loss to ASU in McKale Center on Sunday. After losing four of their last five games, talks of Arizona’s postseason have shifted from the NCAA Tournament streak to NIT hopes.

Wildcats’ frustrations grow Miller: ‘In terms of giving up and mood, I could care less about their mood’ By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat Freshman guard Momo Jones spoke in a slow, methodical manner as he addressed the media on Tuesday. The disappointment from Sunday’s loss to Arizona State still lingered two days later. “Everybody’s disappointed, everybody’s kind of down,” Jones said. “Everybody’s just trying to figure out ways we can pick everything back up.” Though players and head coach Sean Miller have insisted all season that the NCAA Tournament streak hasn’t been on their mind, they were certainly thinking about it Tuesday, as they now have to win the Pacific 10 Conference Tournament to have any chance at making the NCAA Tournament. “We just owe it to the fans. It hasn’t changed for 25 years,” said freshman forward Derrick Williams. “I don’t think it should end right now just because we have new coaches, new players and we’re a young team. “I don’t think we should go out like that,” he added. “Especially with this being Nic (Wise)’s last year.” Formerly tied for first place after beating California on Jan. 31, the tide has turned for Arizona over the last couple weeks as it lost four of its last five games. The Wildcats appear to be heading downhill toward the end of the season instead of peaking as Miller anticipated. “We lost a couple tough ones in a row,” Miller said. “Everyone’s trying to

figure out what went wrong and why’s it’s been like that since the Cal game.” Miller appeared equally as frustrated at his players but didn’t care to discuss the mood of his team or whether the team appeared to have given up the last couple days. “Let me say this: In terms of giving up and mood, I could care less about their mood,” Miller said. “There are certain things when you’re the new head coach in Arizona that you can deal with in year one, and in our current circumstances in the next four weeks,” he added. “Then there are some things you can deal with in a bigger way in the offseason and beyond.” Miller didn’t elaborate what could be dealt with in a “bigger way” during the offseason, but it is clear that some players aren’t “buying in” the way the first-year coach wants. “You watch certain guys struggle defensively,” Miller said. “I really think certain guys are trying, and I’m not going down that path of who they are or whatever. “It is what it is,” he added.“We have to do the best we can and keep working like crazy. Certain things we can control and other things we can’t.” But Miller did hint that things would have to be evaluated. “The bigger picture is where we go from here,” he said. “How much more talented can we become, is everybody a part of our program that really loves to win and is here for all the right reasons, and do we have things

moving in the right direction?” Miller also reiterated that the team’s struggles this season have been like nothing he has ever dealt with before in all his years of coaching. “It’s really hard. It’s at times almost impossible to deal with because there some many things you can’t control,” Miller said. “The broader picture is, I know I came here not just for the 2009-2010 season. I came here trying to build, grow and improve and take our program to those great heights we all know Arizona can be because they’ve done it before.” Despite his disappointment, the first-year coach found room to joke about the season’s struggles. Asked if there was anyone in the coaching world he turned to for advice, Miller said he didn’t. “I’m that guy when you see my name come up on the phone you’re like, ‘Not him. Boop. Ignore.’ Nobody wants to talk to me,” he joked. “I’m not going to give them anything, they always have to help me. Most of my friends are winning a lot so I don’t want to interfere with them.”

NIT talks begin Now that an NCAA appearance seems unlikely, the questions about the National Invitational Tournament have began for a program seemingly immune to any postseason tournament besides the NCAA Tournament. When Jones and Williams were asked whether the team would be OK

with going to the NIT, both answered simultaneously “No” and “No, sir.” “I think it (NIT) benefits us as team going into next year, but at the end of the day, that’s not what we came here to do,” Jones said. “Nobody looks forward to going to the (NIT), but you go there you have to make the best of it. We can’t downplay the (NIT) but at the same time we want to make the tournament.” Miller wasn’t opposed to the NIT, but he was unwilling to accept the lesser of the college basketball tournaments, the College Basketball Invitational “I would be very interested in the (NIT),“ Miller said. “It would be an honor for our team to make it, but (College Basketball Invitational), no. It’s more important for us to start lifting weights.”

Parrom incident to be dealt with in house Forward Kevin Parrom was sent to the locker room by Miller following the buzzer of Sunday’s game after getting into a brief altercation with ASU guard Derek Glasser. Miller said the team would deal with the ordeal “in house,” adding that frustration took over the freshman’s emotions. While he didn’t say whether Parrom would be punished by suspension or loss of a starting spot, he did say that the forward is “one of the nicest kids” he has ever met.

The season-long goal for the Arizona women’s swim and dive team has been to win the national championship. But before they can turn their attention to those aspirations, they aim to be crowned Pacific 10 Conference champions for the fourth time in five years. The No. 4 women will compete at the Pac-10 championships in Long Beach, Calif., from Wednesday to Saturday. The women will be returning to California for the first time since they were swept at a dual meet with Stanford and Cal in January. Revenge is certainly on their minds, but the real goal is to use this week as preparation for the national championships next month. “The team’s focus is always on NCAAs,” said senior Annie Chandler. “So our focus is on racking up national championship qualifiers and using the competitive environment as practice for the stiff competition.” While the team has made many of its qualifications for nationals, some of the swimmers still have work to do this week. “We have quite a few girls gunning for best times and NCAA cuts at this meet,” Chandler said, who will be among the swimmers trying to make their cuts. The team has already started to rest for nationals, and will rest in earnest after the Pac-10s. In preparation for nationals, the team will start to focus more on swimming than training. They will no longer be running, lifting or doing morning workouts. “We will be resting up for some intensive racing,” Chandler said. “The coaches have the taper (resting) process down to a T, so we just have to trust the program and success usually follows.” Success for this team means only one thing: Winning a national championship. The women have been overshadowed this season by the No. 3 UA men’s team, but they have been improving as the season has progressed. Since being swept by Stanford and Cal, the UA women have defeated a top-5 program in Texas and finished the dual meet season with an 8-2 record. This week marks the final Pac-10 Championships for the seniors and the beginning of the end of their swimming careers at UA. That reality is starting to sink in. “My last time in the weight room was last week and that was bizarre, but I have a feeling that I’ll start to feel it this week,” Chandler said. A third Pac-10 Championship and a national championship in the next two months would put this senior class up with the greatest the school has ever seen. The seniors are beginning to realize their time is almost up, but they also know that there is work left do. “It would be such an incredible way to end my senior year,” said senior Ana Agy. “It has been amazing to be a part of this group of women, and I would love to leave them with another title.”

Quick guide to the NFL Combine By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat The NFL Combine is upon us, and the three Wildcats who were invited to participate could greatly improve their draft stock in the next few days. Here’s a look at what each player needs to do this week.

top cats

The best of the weekend's athletic performances

Rob Gronkowski, TE Gronkowski told the Daily Wildcat in a text message on Monday that he would only participate in the bench press and interviews at the combine. He also told the Wildcat that his back is feeling, “Great, 100 percent.” That’s great news for Gronkowski if it’s true, but what now he needs to prove to NFL teams that his back is, in fact, 100 percent. Gronkowski’s career doesn’t exactly boast a clean bill of health, and that’s what has most draft experts keeping him out of the first round. His goal for the combine should be to show that his back is at full strength by finishing in the top three or four for tight ends in the bench press, while convincing teams that he’s ready

to get on the field and stay healthy during interviews.

Earl Mitchell, DT Mitchell has spent the last month proving that he has top-tier work ethic and impeccable character, but his position in the draft is still in question.

Softball

Baillie Kirker Freshman • First base

Accounted for all of Arizona’s runs in the Wildcats’ home opener on Sunday. She knocked in five runs off two home runs in the game.

To help answer that, Mitchell needs to prove his athleticism. There are concerns that he might not be big enough to play the nose in a 3-4 scheme. He should do his best to run above-average times in the 40-yard dash and other speed and agility drills so that he can show NFL teams that he’s talented enough to play any of the defensive line positions.

especially his hip fluidity. If he can prove he’s athletic enough to be a competent cover-corner in the NFL, combined with his size and tackling ability, Ross could hear his name called somewhere in the later rounds.

Devin Ross, CB Ross is big and strong for a cornerback and should be able to contribute to the NFL by defending the run, but his pass coverage was suspect at best last season. Ross needs to prove he’s quick enough to keep up with NFL wide receivers. His straight-line speed is solid but his agility could improve —

Kurt Heyer

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Nolan Ryan, superstitions and nicknames Has coach talked at all about the rotation?

By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat

myself to him sometimes.

Well, it’s posted up in the locker room. Apparently, I got Friday night again because Simon threw quite a few pitches, so he’s going Saturday night. We got another pitcher pitching, Stephen Manthei, so it’s pretty good. Two freshmen in the rotation should be pretty exciting to see. It should be a good series.

Editor’s Note: Arizona baseball freshman pitcher Kurt Heyer had about as impressive a debut as humanly possible last Friday, as he pitched six innings of three-hit, one-run ball while striking out 13 batters en route to a 8-1 victory against Utah Valley University. Heyer’s performance earned him Pacific 10 Conference Pitcher of the Week honors and a “Louisville Slugger” National Player of the Week award by Collegiate Baseball. The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Heyer to discuss his lights-out debut, his trio of nicknames and his favorite thing to sleep with the night before game day.

Your teammates talk a lot about you being a workhorse. What does that stem from?

Daily Wildcat: Obviously a big debut for you on Friday. You got the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week honors and also the “Louisville Slugger” award with the 13 strikeouts. Has that all sunk in yet?

Well I have a good work ethic. I work hard, I try to lead by example in everything I do. I got that a lot in high school, usually guys called me workaholic or whatever. I kind of just used that as motivation for me because I don’t want to let my team down or whatever, so it’s pretty nice for my teammates to talk to me like that. Is there an MLB pitcher that you kind of model yourself after?

Kurt Heyer: Yeah, I just found out about that yesterday. My parents found out for me. At first, I was surprised about that; it’s quite an honor. I didn’t really expect to get that after only one performance, but it’s a good feeling. Hopefully I can get one later in the year maybe, if I keep progressing. Other than that, it was shocking. I didn’t think a freshman would get those things so soon, but I’m pretty happy.

Probably Nolan Ryan. I don’t have the same stuff as him, but he’s a workhorse. Everybody relies on his arm to keep battling through the inning so I like to compare

If you could build the perfect pitcher with say three different pitches each from a different MLB pitcher, how would you do that? I’d take probably Nolan Ryan’s fastball, Greg Maddux’s changeup and … I don’t know, I think maybe (Jake) Peavy’s slider. That’s probably the ultimate combo of pitches I would love to have.

Probably“Paint it Black,”(by The Rolling Stones), Foo Fighters’“The Pretender” and maybe,“Because of You” by Nickelback. If you weren’t playing baseball, what would you be doing?

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Yeah (laughs), I usually take the game ball the night before I pitch or whatever and I kind of keep it with me wherever I go. I sleep with it. I know, it’s kind of weird, but I’ve done that for three years so it’s never failed me once yet. Hopefully I’ll just keep doing that. I don’t want to change anything.

I’d probably be watching baseball games every day or maybe become like a baseball historian major, I don’t know. Or play golf a lot. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t play baseball. It would probably kill me.

In what seems to be a recurring theme this week, ASU pulled away from the Arizona women’s golf team yesterday in the second half of the Arizona Wildcat Invitational. The Sun Devils (8-over-par) gained separation from Arizona (20-over-par) and Stanford (27-overpar) after both teams trailed by only three strokes and four stokes, respectively, following the first round. Stanford finished third, but shot a horrendous 302 (18-overpar) in Tuesday’s second round. Arizona didn’t fare much better, shooting a 10-over-par 294 in the final round, an identical score to its first-round mark. The Cardinal didn’t have an individual score higher than 2-over-par on the tournament, and the Wildcats’ lowest scorer, Margarita Ramos, notched a 145 (3-over-par) on her way to finishing in a tie for seventh place. Oklahoma State sophomore Caroline Hedwall claimed individual honors, shooting a combined six-under-par for the tournament. ASU’s lowest tournament scorer was Juliana Murcia (1-under-par), but the Sun Devils got consistent play from four of their five golfers, four of whom were top-10 individual finishers. ASU shot eight strokes lower than the next lowest-scoring team in Tuesday’s second round, and was the only squad not to shoot double-digits over par in either day of the tournament. After being originally scheduled for 54 holes, Monday’s rain shortened the tournament to 36 holes — one round on both Monday and Tuesday. UA will continue the spring season on March 1 in the Bruin Wave Invitational, a three-day event co-hosted by Pepperdine and UCLA.

What started that? It was in sophomore year of high school. It was my first game and my coach just said ‘Hey just for luck take the ball with you and sleep with it for tonight.’ I’m like ‘OK,’ so I take it and bring it back and everybody’s laughing at me, they’re like ‘Why’d you sleep with the ball’ and I’m like ‘Because the coach told me to.’And then we won and I’m like ‘Coach, I’m sticking with that ritual’ and I’ve been that ever since so, I’d like to thank my high school coach for that one. Talking to Kyle Simon, he said you guys pitched in the same league in high school. He went to Los Alamitos (High School), and I went to Edison (High School), and we we’re both Sunset League pitchers. We’d always battle each other. I didn’t really know him that well until last summer when we played with each other on the Cardinals team and we got to know each other a little better, then I found out that he was going to Arizona, and then he found out that I was going. He was like ‘That’s pretty good, two Sunset League pitchers under one

It was everything I could hope for. It was a good feeling, starting pitcher, freshman, it doesn’t get any better than that, especially with your (season) opener and everything against a team that comes into your park that wants to take a win away from you.You want to prevent that, so I felt like it was a great game and everything and this upcoming weekend should be pretty good too.

Do you have a nickname at all? I go by a few. I go by Tap Tap and Wolfgang and, shoot, what other one was it? I think that’s about it, just those two. Any reason behind those? Wolfgang’s my middle name, and Tap Tap is a video game I play constantly when I’m in the locker room. Everyone’s just wondering why the heck I’m playing that all of the time, so they just call me Tap Tap sometimes. Oh, one more. This was in the fall, they called me Forrest Gump because apparently I ran like him, and I talked like him a lot, so they called me that for quite a while, and then they kind of stopped. It was kind of funny for a while. Who would be your dream girl? Probably either Megan Fox or Tori Black. I don’t know why, she’s a hot model I guess. Megan Fox is pretty hot too, so I cant go wrong with either one of those. What are your goals and aspirations for the rest of the season? Give my team a chance to win every game I can. At least keep the game close where our other pitchers can keep the game going; feel good about my performance, that’s about it. I wouldn’t mind winning other honors or whatever, but only time will tell. Hopefully I just keep working hard and everything and keep doing what I’m doing.

Kateri McRae, Ph.D., didn’t

have to peruse job listings or do a full-on job search to get her post-doc position at Stanford University. Kateri came here from Monterey, California, intending to get a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Two years into her clinical psych program, she switched to cognition and neural systems. In May of 2007, she received her Ph.D., and landed a position at Stanford. Kateri said, “My job search was a little atypical as I took a position as a post-doc with a group that I collaborated with heavily during grad school...” It’s hard to imagine coasting into a position at Stanford University but Kateri used her networking skills and excellent reputation with colleagues to do just that. For Kateri’s complete success story go to www.career.arizona. edu, click on “News” for the articles archives and then ﬁlter (at the bottom of the page) for Success Stories.
