Tucson High evacuates 800 after bomb threat

By Rodney Haas & Matt Lewis ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

About 800 Tucson High Magnet School students were evacuated to UA’s Bear Down Gym Tuesday morning due to a bomb threat. The section of Fourth Street located behind the gym was closed down for several hours so parents could pick their children up.

The school, located at 400 N. Second Ave., was evacuated just before 9 a.m., said Charles Rydzak, a Tucson Police Department spokesman.

“We wanted to keep the disruption to a minimum,” said University of Arizona Police Department’s Public Information Officer Sgt. Juan Alvarez.“So Bear Down was identified as a location that could meet our needs.”

Alvarez said Bear Down was chosen because it provided easy access to Fourth Street from Sixth Street, allowing parents

to pick their kids up easily.

A UAlert report was sent by text message and e-mail just before noon to let UA students know that Fourth Street would be closed between Cherry Avenue and Highland Avenue.

Portions of Sixth Street and Euclid Avenue near the UA campus were also temporarily shut down, but all roads remained open to the CatTran.

About 20 minutes later, UAlert said Bear Down Gym would be closed until about 4 p.m.

Victor Martinez, a campus liaison at Tucson High, said the school was evacuated after a student found a note in the restroom saying there was a bomb that would go off at 10 a.m. The student gave the note to a security guard.

Since there are more than 3,000 students at Tucson High, students were evacuated to several different locations.

Students who walked to school or were picked up by their parents were evacuated to Bear Down Gym. Students who rode the bus to school were bussed home, and students who drove to school were released after showing proper identification and the school received parental permission.

Tucson High parent Daniel Acosta, 36, thought it was a good idea to evacuate the students to the UA. “It’s close enough,”he said.

Acosta, who works at Tucson Electric Power, was at work when he got a phone call from his wife about the bomb threat at their son’s school.

At first he didn’t have much information.

His only concern was for his son, Tino Acosta, a freshman at Tucson High.

“I was worried. I wondered, ‘Where do I pick him up?’”Acosta said about hearing the news.

He said the situation was confusing but the University of Arizona Police Department, the Tucson Police Department, Tucson Unified School District and Tucson High School officials did a good job.

“We do have an emergency preparedness manager, Commander Brian Seastone, and what he does is make sure that we have plans in place to meet certain situations like this,” Alvarez said.

TUSD sent an e-mail to parents about the bomb threat, but not everyone got the message.

Daniel Acosta said he only heard about it because his wife saw it on the news.

“The only thing they could’ve done is announce it better, not everyone is at home watching TV,”he said.

UAlert sent another message at 1:46 p.m. saying Bear Down Gym and Fourth Street were reopened.

iPad may come to UA soon

By Alexandra Newman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The UofA BookStore hopes to soon carry the iPad, a tablet computer released by Apple on, Jan. 27. The iPad is not yet authorized by the Federal Communications Commission and cannot be sold until it is approved.

Apple’s Web site states Wi-Fi-only models will ship out in late March and 3G models by April.

“We’re hoping that we can sell it right now, (but) Apple’s not positive that we can do it,” said agricultural business senior Tom Schmalzel, the computer and technology student buyer for the UofA BookStore. “Our reps are pretty sure that we’ll be able to get all six models.”

The iPad, a small, flat computer with a 9.7-inch touch screen, is 0.5 inches thick and weighs 1.5 pounds.

“I see it being incredibly popular

because of what it does,”Schmalzel said.

It is a cross between a smart phone and a laptop computer.

The iPad supports e-mail, music, web surfing, e-books, photos, games and movies.

But some students are unimpressed.

“It just seems like a computer to me It’s like a big iTouch; why not just get a laptop?” political science freshman Tess Lugo asked.“If it was a gift, I would take it, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get one when I have a computer.”

Schmalzel says that the UofA BookStore will more than likely sell the item, and he plans on getting one for himself.

Students could use it to access school e-mails, the Desire2Learn Web site or assigned reading.

Its battery lasts up to 10 hours, enough for an entire day at school.

“I wouldn’t read my textbooks on it, but I’d probably read the Photo coutesy of apple.com

Your mobile source for UA news, sports and entertainment

newspaper and some simple books, but not a textbook, especially if I need to do annotation in the margins. It doesn’t have that functionality yet,” Schmalzel said.

Graduate student Etienne Rajon thinks the iPad will be popular among students, though he doesn’t think he’ll buy one.

“I like paper,”Rajon said,“Maybe if I see a lot of them and see how they work (I’ll buy one), but for now I like having paper.”

Other students are interested in purchasing it.

“It pretty much encompasses everything that I want and I need,” Schmalzel said.

Apple is emphasizing the affordability of the iPad, which starts at $499 for the basic model and goes up to $829 for the 64GB model with Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities.

“The price is pretty amazing because most e-books by themselves are $250 to $300, (so) it’s pretty revolutionary,” Schmalzel said.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will host their weekly meeting tonight to discuss firearms on campus.

Tonight’s meeting will take place at 5 in the Ventana Room of the Student Union Memorial Center.

Arizona State Senate Bill 1011, which, if passed, would allow teachers with valid permits to carry firearms on school grounds, has caught the attention of ASUA Sen. Tyler Quillin.

“It’s extremely disappointing and disheartening that the state legislature would propose such a (bill),” Quillin said.

Quillin has drafted a resolution in opposition to SB 1011 stating, “firearms, in no way, belong in, near or around a classroom or any other university setting, unless in the possession of the University of Arizona Police Department, or other lawful entities.”

“I’m personally very averse to anybody carrying concealed weapons on campus,” Quillin said. “Weapons don’t belong in the classroom.”

Quillin would like to see SB 1011 amended to allow teachers to carry guns in places other than the academic setting.

“We’re asking for an exception,” he said.

Quillin thinks that faculty members should be able to carry firearms around town — just not on campus.

The Arizona Board of Regents’ policy currently states that personnel on each of the three state universities are prohibited from using, possessing, displaying or storing weapons on school grounds.

Current exceptions to this policy state that a person can keep or otherwise carry a firearm in his or her privately owned vehicle, compartment or motorcycle, as long as it is locked and the firearm is not visible. According to the fact sheet for SB 1011, the Arizona Board of Regents also makes an exception for the use, display, possession and storage of a firearm as long as the university has specifically authorized it.

ASUA met Tuesday morning to discuss the bill, but no action was taken. ASUA will vote to approve Quillin’s firearm resolution during tonight’s meeting.

“It’s important to make the students’ voices heard. We’re the ones (who are) going to be affected by it,” Quillin said. “It’s not going to affect the state legislature, that’s for sure.”

ASUA will also discuss bylaw changes and the election referendum policy during tonight’s meeting.

The Daily Wildcat is always interested in story ideas and tips from readers. If you see something deserving of coverage, contact news editor Michelle Monroe at news@wildcat.arizona.edu or call the newsroom at 621-3193.

Yes. Absolutely.

Did you watch a lot of television?

Arizona Daily Wildcat

Yep.

Vol. 103, Issue 89

What did you watch?

My favorite show is “Doug.” By far. Patty Mayonnaise. It’ll always have a place in my heart.

What else did you watch? Obviously, Nickelodeon.

Yes! Nickelodeon was my favorite. I watched “Hey Arnold!” a lot, as well. And, later on, I kind of stepped away from early ‘90s television. Oh,“Catdog.” I liked “Catdog” a lot. And,“(The) Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” What do you think drew you to those television shows in the ‘90s?

I don’t know. It’s my childhood. I think children are going to feel the same about television that’s on now. It’s just something I connect to.

But, all that’s on now is “Hannah Montana” and “iCarly.”

A hand-written note notifying patrons of the store’s closing stands below the Life Is Good sign in a cruel twist of irony. The note’s author added, “We would especially like to thank Marshall Foundation, Life is Good & Jane McCollume. Without their help we would have closed long ago.”

Dino tail feathers were carrot colored, study says WASHINGTON — Scientists have, for the first time, confirmed color in a dinosaur.

Don’t think purple Barney, but reddishorange Conan O’Brien. The first solid proof of pigmentation has been spotted in the fossilized tail feathers of a smallish meateating dinosaur found in China and named Sinosauropteryx. The creature seems to have russet colored rings, according to a paper published online Wednesday in the journal, Nature.

That 125 million-year-old tail has the same internal cellular coloring agents

as the hair of a red-haired person, said study lead author Mike Benton, a professor of paleontology at the University of Bristol in England. And the same finding provides what some outside experts say is even more conclusive evidence that some dinosaurs had feathers, further linking them to birds.

Benton and his colleagues didn’t actually see the reddish color itself. Using an electron microscope, they spotted the specific cellular signs of the color.

Girl 1: ”How do you spell ‘probably?’”

Girl 2: “P-R-O … um … just put the word ‘pro’ and a period, and he’ll understand.”

I, personally, am worried about the next generation of children. I grew up watching “Doug” and “(The Adventures of) Pete and Pete”—

— First Street submit at dailywildcat.com or twitter @overheardatua

Oh, I remember “Pete and Pete.”

But now, kids are watching girls that wear short skirts and have fake hair.

Yeah, that is kind of upsetting actually. But it’s society, I guess.

Well, at least, we got the good television.

Yeah, we got the good stuff.

If you could create a children’s television show for today’s youth, what would it be?

It would be about a high school kid, cartoon obviously, and it would be similar to “Rocket Power” if you remember that show.

“Rocket Power” was awesome.

Yes!

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — The science-fiction sensation “Avatar” and the war-on-terror thriller “The Hurt Locker” lead the Academy Awards with nine nominations each, including best picture and director for former spouses James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow.

For the first time since 1943, the Oscars feature 10 best-picture contenders instead of the usual five.

Also nominated for best-picture Tuesday: “District 9”; the animated comedy “Up”; the World War II saga “Inglourious Basterds”; the football drama “The Blind Side”; the recession tale “Up in the Air,” the 1960s drama “A Serious Man,” and the teen tales “An Education” and “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ By Sapphire.”

Acting nominees include the four stars who have dominated early awards shows: lead players Sandra Bullock for the football drama “The Blind Side” and Jeff Bridges for the country-music tale “Crazy Heart,” supporting performers Mo’Nique for “Precious” and Christoph Waltz for “Inglourious Basterds.”

The best-picture and director categories shape up as a showdown between ex-spouses, who directed films that have dominated earlier Hollywood honors.

Cameron’s“Avatar” won best drama and director at the Golden Globes, while Bigelow’s“The Hurt Locker” beat out Cameron at the Directors Guild of America Awards, whose recipient usually goes on to earn the best-director Oscar.

“The Hurt Locker” also beat “Avatar” for the Producers Guild of America top prize and was chosen as last year’s best film by many key critics groups.

Bigelow said she was gratified and humbled.

“It’s a huge, huge compliment to the entire cast and crew,” she said.“It was a very difficult shoot of heat and sun and windstorms and sandstorms, and they had to unite crew from Lebanon and Israel.”

Bigelow, whose films include “Point Break” and “K19: The Widowmaker,” is only the fourth woman nominated for a directing Oscar, following Sofia Coppola for 2003’s “Lost in Translation,” Jane Campion for 1993’s “The Piano” and Lina Wertmuller for 1975’s “Seven Beauties.”

No woman has ever won the directing Oscar, and until Bigelow, no woman had ever won the Directors Guild honor.

They were total hipsters before hipsters existed.

searchers and Benton’s team found similar cellular color hints in prehistoric bird feathers.

Drawings of dinosaurs show them in all sorts of hues, usually duller Earth tones such as brown and gray, but scientists have only speculated on their coloring. As their connection to birds came to light, so did the idea of brighter colors.

But until now, there was no proof of any coloring.

HPV forum to discuss female, male vaccination

By Laura Donovan Arizona Daily Wildcat HPV, the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States, will be discussed tonight in Marana, Ariz.

The UA Women’s Studies Advisory Council, the Southwest Institute for Research on Women and the UA National Center of Excellence in Women’s Health will present the third community educational forum on human papillomavirus infections and vaccinations.

“We have an expert panel that will talk about the pros and cons of getting the HPV vaccine,” said Leigh Spencer, UA Women’s Studies Advisory Council program coordinator.

“Southwest Institute for Research on Women received a $5,000 grant from the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences to do three events on HPV,” said Sally Stevens, executive director.

“The community forums will cover the practical aspect to addressing the issue of HPV,”Stevens said.

The three UA centers decided to do an HPV forum because it’s a controversial topic in the

National Center of Excellence for Women’s Health.

The goal of the forum is to provide objective information for community members to make decisions about whether the vaccine fits the needs of their families, Monroy said.

“This is an opportunity for community members to get face time with the well renowned, wellreceived experts and community members don’t usually get to do that,” Monroy said.

Robinson said this is a good opportunity to learn about what HPV is and how it is transmitted.

The event is designed for families, as well as teenage men and women. The HPV vaccine was approved for boys and men last year, Robinson said.

“The speakers may talk about other vaccines, the Photo Courtesy Leigh Spencer implications of The large microbe, right, is a microscopic view of the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States. the HPV vaccine’s media, and participants in other projects requested developed,”said Laurie Robinson, Women’s Studies approval status for more information on it, Stevens said.

Donata Vercelli, M.D. and Gabriela Wlasiuk, Ph.D. explain their research at their lab in BIO5 on Jan. 14. Dr. Vercelli recently received grant money to study asthma.

$1M grant helps Asthma prevention research

By Jacob Moeller Arizona Daily Wildcat

Asthma may be an incurable condition, but UA researchers are working on its prevention.

The Arizona Center for the Biology of Complex Diseases was recently awarded a grant of almost $1 million by the National Institute of Health.

“This grant is absolutely essential because, of course, you need funds to support this type of research,” said Donata Vercelli, the center’s director and UA cell biology and anatomy professor.

“Without this grant, doing this study would be impossible.”

The Arizona Center for the Biology of Complex Diseases is not concerned with curing asthma or relieving its symptoms, but at finding the source of the problem and preventing it.

“To find an early epigenetic signature of asthma is what we are trying to do,” Vercelli said.

“Because there is a very strong correlation between asthma in the mother and asthma in the child, it is possible that asthma begins at birth or even before.”

Vercelli said if a mother has asthma, her child is at a greater

risk of also having asthma than if the father has it.

This realization led Vercelli and her associates to suspect that the causes of asthma may be epigenetic and not genetic.

Epigenetics is the study of how genes affect organisms.

Although it is open to the public, graduate students can attend the colloquium as an advanced course for credit.

The colloquium is held every Friday from 9 to 11 a.m. at the BIO5 Institute, 1657 E. Helen St., in room 103.

“Genetically, of course, both the mother and the father contribute to the same extent, which suggests that genetics is not the name of the game here,”Vercelli said.

“The cells in our bodies — they are all identical. A cell in your eye, a cell in your skin, a cell in your bone: In genetic terms, they are all identical. They all have the same DNA sequence.

“What makes it possible for these cells to become bone, or blood, or brain, is a series of epigenetic processes.”

Nearly eight years ago, Vercelli and her team started enrolling a large group of pregnant women, with no prior knowledge of their

respiratory health, to take part in a long-term study. When their children were born, blood samples were taken and the children were brought back periodically for checkups.

“The diagnoses of asthma in a child cannot be made firmly until the child is four to five years old,” Vercelli said.

Now that every child is old enough to be well-diagnosed and sufficient data has been collected, Vercelli and her team can start analyzing the data.

“We are looking at common denominators between the (blood) samples from children who have become asthmatic and between children who have not become asthmatic,”she said.

If anyone is interested in learning more, there is a weekly colloquium held by the Arizona Center for the Biology of Complex Diseases entitled Problems in Complex Disease Biology.

This colloquium is open to faculty and students, regardless of their level expertise. The Arizona Center for the Biology of Complex Diseases is able to bring international speakers of high distinction to the weekly lecture series.

abies, puppies and crutches.

Carry one of these things under your arms and you’re guaranteed to grab the attention of people around you quicker than Dennis Rodman in a nursing home.

Which is why I tried my hardest to hobble around without crutches for two days this past weekend after hurting one of my big toes to the point that I could no longer move it. I didn’t want people staring at me before eventually asking the most unavoidable question in the world: “What happened?”

“Weekend shenanigans,” I say. “College happens.”

But I couldn’t stand it any longer. I needed crutches like Pauly D needs his hair gel.

So Monday morning I crutched it seventenths of a mile to McClelland Hall , embarrassed by everyone who walked by.

It wasn’t so much that I felt like a threelegged beast; it could have had something to do with the fact that I was using children’s crutches. The armpit rests went just above my belly button. It was more awkward than I imagine Tiger Woods would be in a strip club.

Clearly I wasn’t made for crutches.

About 100 yards away from McClelland Hall, a man pulled up beside me in a golf cart and asked if I needed a ride.

Maybe he thinks I’m a UA athlete, I thought, looking down at the Wildcat polo I was wearing. Injured athletes on campus get cart rides all the time. But my toe was throbbing and my kid crutches were wobbly, so I took him up on his offer.

On our 20-second ride he explained to me that he was a driver for the Parking and Transportation Services Daytime Disability Cart Service , which I didn’t know existed.

“What’d you do to your toe, anyway?” he asked as I stepped off the cart.

“Weekend shenanigans,” I answered.

“College happens.”

After class I took a quick trip to UA Campus Health , thanks to a courtesy ride from the Disability Cart Service, which has to be the program that makes the best use of UA’s student services fees, hands down. It was a comfortable ride, and pure entertainment when the driver honked the cart’s horn and literally yelled her affection for Black History Month near the UA Mall.

People were staring, but at least it had nothing to do with crutches.

I had my toe X-rayed and my foot placed in a boot on Tuesday.

“What happened?” the nurse asked.

“Weekend shenanigans,” I said. “College happens.”

I was picked up three times by the free Daytime Disability Cart Service to take me to and from classes later in the day. The drivers were always right on time and extremely nice. And it didn’t matter that I wasn’t a UA athlete.

The best part was that they didn’t ask why I was in a boot. They just provided one of the most practical services on campus.

And for that, I don’t mind the attention.

MAILBAG On ‘Smell what Obama is cookin’?’

Very interesting column. Not so much for its content as for its unique hypocrisy. It seems to be lauding President Obama for calling out the GOP on creating a “highly divided, politically partisan atmosphere,” yet admits that Obama’s efforts at bipartisanship have thus far been “lukewarm” at best. Furthermore, it states that “Obama must continually remind the GOP who is in power” as if GOP lawmakers should fear the democratic majority. Submit or be smitten, right? It seems to me that it is at once condemning and condoning partisan antics. Instead of suggesting that President Obama abuse his position as leader of the majority party, shouldn’t it suggest he use his position as president of a concerned nation to alleviate the fears that citizens are sharing with their representatives in congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, over such issues as health-care reform? After all if all reasonable concerns have been addressed, then the Democrats who have had majority in congress since last year have no excuse for not having passed an appropriate bill, have they?

On ‘UA running for Playboy’s top party school,’ Feb. 1

The University of Arizona is just that, a

university. It is a place where people come to learn abd to train and develop the skills which they will use as professionals later in life. As of late, the U of A has been anything but that.

The article published on Tuesday, February 2nd, highlights the sad fact that students do not value the University of Arizona as an academic institution, but as a great place to get hammered. With our 80.5% (U.S News and World Report) acceptance rate, we are accepting more and more people who have no interest in being here short of getting drunk every Friday and Saturday night, and maybe a Tuesday for good measure. One of the last sentences in the article published on Tuesday states that once a future student learned that U of A was a top-ranked party school, he knew it was the school for him.

Are these really the people we want at our school? Kids who make their school choice based solely on how good the parties are?

Before long, we will be forgotten as the University that put a rover onto Mars and remembered as a University that has the best places to party without having to work too hard. Sound like anyone we know? I am not saying that going out to a party on a Friday or Saturday night is a bad thing. If anything, it is an excellent distraction from school work. A brief distraction from our stressful school lives is all it should be though. With the budget for our school growing ever smaller, we should tell the people who only come to college to party and drop out after a year to stay home so that the valuable

funding dollars and class seats go towards students who will actually use them. We can do this by reminding students that they are here to learn and prepare for their future, not to forget half of the weekends between now and the time they drop out.

Extended Plan B not a good plan

I noticed in Monday’s issue of the Daily Wildcat, there was a small article concerning the invention of a new morning after pill that lasts five days rather than three. While this drug is only available in Europe with a doctors prescription, I find the invention of this drug to be an irresponsible invention and a get out of jail free card. I believe some woman will abuse this drug, much like Plan B is abused. I understand mistakes happen, but when females continue to take this drug as a means to prevent pregnancy, the drug becomes ineffective and in all senses seems useless. I am glad this drug is not available in the United States, and hope it doesn’t become FDA-approved any time soon.

lines for bicyclists venturing out onto the roads, and it lists some important guidelines to follow. The first is to “show respect to others” by understanding that, on the road, the same rules go for both the drivers and the bicyclists. No one appreciates getting cut off, no matter what sort of wheel they are behind.

The second is to “be visible.” It helps to wear white or light-colored shirts. At night, it is the law that a bicyclist has a head light and a reflector light on the back of his or her bike. According to the pamphlet, a bicyclist could be fined up to $115 for failing to wear a headlight at night.

The third is to “wear a helmet.” This will help in the situation in which a bicyclist does get hit by a car. But they are useful for another reason: a small mirror can be hooked onto the helmet so that a bicyclist can easily see behind him or herself. These mirrors are inexpensive, starting as low as $17.

The UA campus is located in one of the more bike-friendly cities and has even received rewards for it. For the sixth year in a

row, Tucson has been recognized as having the “Best Workplaces for (a) Commuter,” awarded by the Center for Urban Transportation Research, an award which recognizes an organization that offers employees great commuting benefits to help the environment and the roads. The award is based on “the diversity of the Alternative Transportation Programs offered at The University of Arizona,” according to Bill Davidson, marketing and communications manager for Parking and Transportation Services.

It is important for bikers to understand even the simplest of rules. There are several responsibilities for bicyclists on the road, which many don’t realize. In order to avoid citations, tickets, paying money to Parking and Transportation and, ultimately, avoid getting hurt, bicyclists are obligated to follow the rules of the road and understand the guidelines.

POLICEBEAT

By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

They never learn A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Hopi Residence Hall in reference to a strong smell of marijuana on Friday at around 1 p.m.

An officer spoke with a resident assistant of the hall, who said he could smell marijuana coming from one of the dorm rooms.

After the officer knocked on the student’s door a few times, the student answered and agreed to let the officer enter the room and ask a few questions.

Once inside the room, the officer could smell an even stronger odor of marijuana and questioned the student about the smell.

The student, identified by a Connecticut driver’s license, said he did not know why the room smelled. He also refused to let the officer search the room.

Another officer arrived at the dorm and was able to get permission from the student to search the room.

The officer found a grinder and a smoking pipe in the student’s desk.

The officer placed the student under arrest for possession of drug paraphernalia. The student was cited and released.

The grinder and pipe were placed into property as evidence. The student was referred to the Dean of Students.

‘I wanna man up’ UAPD assisted a Tucson Police Department officer direct traffic at the intersection of Third Avenue and Speedway Boulevard on Friday at 11:31 p.m.

The TPD officer stopped a car with three men inside because he could smell marijuana coming from inside the car.

While the UAPD officer was waiting with the men, one of them asked what would happen next.

The officer told him that if any marijuana was found, then all three would be charged with possession unless one occupant claimed the marijuana.

The passenger of the car said, “I wanna man up” and got out of the car, took a plastic bag full of marijuana out of his pocket and set it on the curb.

The passenger was charged with possession of marijuana, and the bag was placed into TPD property as evidence.

Drunk man carried to room After someone called to report an apparently drunk resident, a UAPD officer responded to the Arizona Sonora Residence Hall on Saturday.

The caller said that, at about 1:40 a.m., two students walked into the building carrying another man through the lobby to the Sonora side elevators.

The man appeared to be drunk and unable to walk.

After the officer spoke with the on-duty resident assistant, he went to the room where the man was taken.

The door was wide open, and the student allowed the officer in the room to ask questions.

Both students in the room were identified by valid driver’s licenses.

The intoxicated man said that he had been drinking at a party off campus and was unable to walk home because he had had too many drinks.

After the officer offered the man medical attention, he refused and said that all he wanted to do was go to bed.

The situation was diverted to the Dean of Students.

The referral was completed and case information was given to RA’s.

Possible drugged drunk Because of reports of a woman needing medical assistance on Saturday at 10:50 a.m., a UAPD officer responded to the La Paz Residence Hall.

A woman was found sitting on the floor outside her dorm room. She presented her CatCard as identification.

She was crying and continually coughing and dry heaving into a trashcan.

Tucson Fire Department paramedics determined that the woman would need further attention at University Medical Center.

At UMC, the officer asked her what had caused her illness.

She stated that she thought something might have been slipped into her drink at a party the night before.

The woman said she was at a house party off campus but did not know whose house it was or where it was located.

After the officer asked her how much she had to drink, she said she took a shot of Jagermeister, a shot of vodka, and a shot of something similar to Captain Morgan. After those shots, she couldn’t remember anything else she had to drink.

She said she thought someone put something in one of her drinks because she could not remember anything that had happened over the course of the night. Also, she did not pour any of the drinks herself and had different men bringing her the drinks, none of whom she knew.

The woman stated that she did not drink very often — maybe once a month — and that she usually did not drink very much. She told the officer she did not feel it was necessary to drink in order to be social or have fun.

The woman said she had never had a hangover after she drank in the past.

Besides her admission to drinking the night before, the woman showed no other signs of having alcohol in her system.

The incident was forwarded to the Dean of Students.

Fraternity house vandalized When on patrol, a UAPD officer noticed graffiti on the side of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house on 1801 E. First St. On Sunday at 8:17 a.m., the graffiti was found. It was done in the form of two penises with the word “Fiji” written above them. The graffiti was in red spray paint on the south side of the house.

Officers were unable to contact anyone from the fraternity.

Victim’s rights were mailed. There are no witnesses or known suspects.

Developing an East Coast swag

By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat

In the last couple of years, the Arizona men’s basketball team has often been criticized for being somewhat soft.

But with the addition of an East Coast coaching staff and two players from New York, that perception has been changing over the course of the season.

Freshmen Kevin Parrom and Momo Jones may not fill up the stat sheets, but they bring the hard-nosed East Coast mentality that the Wildcats have lacked until this season. “(Parrom) and Momo bring that grit and toughness,” said senior point guard Nic Wise. “They have that noquit attitude and it shows every day in practice.”

Parrom admits that the Pacific 10 Conference is very new to him compared to what he grew up watching on TV. “I always watched Big East basketball coming from New York,” Parrom said. “But I always heard about the Pac-10 growing up.”

For Parrom, one of the downsides of playing on the West Coast is that his family doesn’t get to watch his games very often.

“My mother and father have to order the games (on television), but they try to catch every game that they can,”he said.

But one of things Parrom doesn’t miss back home is the miserably cold New York weather that his family calls to tell him about every day.

“A couple days ago I heard it was negative five back at home,” Parrom said.“I’m happy I’m on the West Coast right now — I don’t have to wear coats. I can go to class with sweats. It’s just better weather over here.”

Miller mum on tournament chances

During the men’s basketball Media Day in McKale Center in mid-October, Arizona head coach Sean Miller warned everyone that his young team had a long way to go before people began to mention extending the NCAA Tournament streak to 26.

In fact, he even said the streak could be damaging to this year’s team.

Now that his young Wildcat team has surprised many, finishing the first half of the Pacific 10 Conference schedule tied for first place with California, the message remains the same.

“We’ve never talked about winning a conference championship or what will happen in March,” Miller said.

“What we’ve tried to focus on is to be a team that doesn’t cheat the process.”

The coach continues to reinforce the importance of getting better with each day and never even mentions the

NCAA Tournament to his players.

“That has never come out of his mouth this season,” said senior Nic Wise when asked whether Miller ever slipped up and mentioned the tournament. “It’s always about each game; it’s always about what season we’re in now, whether it be (nonconference) or Pac-10.”

Wise, the senior leader, is the spitting

image of his coach when it comes to handling the team’s current success.

“We’ve had a lot of people congratulating us, but we’re taking it and moving on,” he said. “We’re halfway through the (Pac-10) season. We still have a whole other half to play.”

As the Wildcats start the second half of their Pac-10 schedule against

Washington on Thursday, the same mindset that Miller has preached from the first practice will be vital for the Wildcats to end the Pac-10 season the same way that they’ve started it.

“Staying true to what’s made us become a better team remains the name of the game,” Miller said. “If we stay with that course, that’s the best chance to have the most wins we can have.”

New year, new faces, new mentality

By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat One year after what Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez called a “nightmare” of a season, the UA baseball team finally has a clean slate.

With 23 newcomers, a new attitude in place and official practice underway, the season of redemption is on the horizon for the Wildcats.

Last season, the team struggled with off-the-field issues and “lacked character,” according to Lopez, a flaw that resulted in a middle-of-the-road 30-25 record. But this season, with a larger emphasis on off-the-field performance, the Wildcats are poised to bounce back.

“The thing I’ve been asking these (younger) guys is this: show me the right attitude, show me the respect — for life, for yourself, for academics and for the game of baseball,” Lopez said.

“And if you show that on a daily basis, you’re talented enough.”

Lopez has been preaching this philosophy of integrity off the field since the moment workouts and skills sessions began. This certainly isn’t new for Lopez — he has been atop the UA baseball-coaching ladder for nine years now — but last season it didn’t stick.

And with 20-plus new faces this season,

Arizona picked fifth

The Wildcats are slated in the fifth position in the Pacific 10 Conference preseason coach’s poll, behind defending conference champion Arizona State, Oregon State, UCLA, and Stanford. Arizona finished fifth last season with a 13-14 record in the Pac-10.

Outfielder Bobby Rinard, left, and shortstop Bryce Ortega warm up during practice on Monday.

Although Rinard is a freshman and Ortega is a junior, the two are examples of how the Wildcats have come together to form a unified team, despite the difference in collegiate experience.

the emphasis is that much greater to ingrain the Arizona baseball attitude into the players early and often.

For a Wildcat baseball player, a missed class or study hall equals a seat on the bench. But with so many youngsters experiencing their first taste of collegiate baseball, the attitude, so far, is sticking, and the idea of missing practice or skipping class has been unappealing.

“I think overall they’ve just really

That’s what he said

Head coach Andy Lopez on handling all of the young players: “I told our staff we need to be patient, we need to be encouraging, we need to teach real hard, and, when we see them feeling sorry for themselves, that’s when we need to get on them. They came here, and hopefully their expectations are as high as where they should be, and that’s to go out and have a good year.”

Junior middle-infielder Bryce Ortega on this season: “A lot of trust is there that wasn’t there last year. This year I trust that everyone knows their signs and knows their responsibilities down pact, and I think that’s really going to show on the field.”

Freshman infielder Seth Mejias-Brean on playing with so many other freshmen: “You kind of build that bond together. ... I like that we have a lot of younger guys that I can group up with for the four years that I’m here.” ­

bought into the system — the hard work, what we’re trying to do here towards one common goal,” said pitcher Daniel Workman, a redshirt junior.

“They want to work hard, they want to succeed and they’re not individuals.”

It would be easy to argue that with so many freshmen from so many backgrounds, near-instant chemistry isn’t possible. But the coaches and more seasoned Wildcats have placed a large emphasis on starting off the season right, and the youngsters are responding. “(The young players) are growing up and being men day by day and can hold their own,” said Jett Bandy, sophomore catcher and Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American last year.

“Everyone’s young, but I think we’ve brought the guys up well,” added Bryce Ortega, junior infielder and last year’s First Team All Pac-10 selection.

“Everyone seems to be catching along and all of the guys like one another. The

chemistry is pretty good from my eyes.”

While a handful of the youngsters have already impressed the players and coaching staff, their skills and poise should only improve with the Wildcats playing their first 26 games at home.

To put that in perspective, they don’t play away from Jerry Kindall Field until April 1, the longest consecutive home game streak at Arizona since the 1967 season. With so much player turnover from last season to this season, it wasn’t a coincidence that Arizona won’t leave Tucson for a game for almost a month and a half.

“We knew we’d be young, and we devised a schedule where we knew we could get some college experience (at home) before we actually went on the road,” Lopez said.

“That’s going to be important for the new guys this year — playing in a home atmosphere from the get-go,” Workman added.

Although the team only returns four position players and two starting pitchers, a powerful mentality is in place, and UA baseball is moving in the right direction early in the season.

Players and coaches alike are confident that, with the new year, new faces and new mentality will come newfound success.

“I think we have a lot of potential,” Ortega said. “I think this season is going to be better than what most people might perceive.”

A day after 2010 men’s basketball recruit Jordin Mayes witnessed a young Arizona team defeat California to climb atop the Pacific 10 Conference, the Westchester High School guard verbally committed to the Wildcats.

“It was the right place for me,” Mayes said on Monday night after his team defeated its Los Angeles archrival Fairfax High School.“(The fans) were real supportive of the team.”

He is the second verbal commitment to Arizona’s 2010 recruiting class. Wing Daniel Bejarano of Phoenix’s North High School gave the Wildcats a commitment during the fall semester.

Mayes wasn’t all alone during his recruitment. His father, Darryel Mayes, played point guard for the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in the 1980s under head coach Jerry Tarkanian, one of college basketball’s winningest coaches.

The elder Mayes said the McKale Center atmosphere resembled UNLV back in the day and paralleled the Runnin’Rebels’location, where college hoops rules.

“The thing is, it’s a college town,”Darryel Mayes said. “The University of Arizona basketball program is the best-selling ticket in Tucson. “(Jordin) wanted to rock the floor,” he added.“Jordin wants to wear that ‘A’ on his chest.”

The No. 106 overall prospect according to Rivals.com is listed as a shooting guard by most recruiting services but his father said that’s because Mayes plays the offguard spot, a position where his alwaysloaded Westchester team needs him most.

But in college, Jordin Mayes — at 6-foot-1, 170 pounds, — will play the point guard position, where he has played the majority of his basketball career, said Darryel, who coached Jordin in middle school.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t shoot.

Darryel Mayes said that Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller envisions Jordin playing the same role as senior point guard Nic Wise. With ball-handling wings like freshmen Solomon Hill and Kevin Parrom able to bring the ball up the court after rebounds, the nation’s 28th-best shooting guard will be able to take advantage of fast breaks even if the ball isn’t in his hands.

“The type of scorer Jordin is,” Darryel said, “you want him to get as many open shots as he can get.”

While Darryel Mayes said his son will find comfort in Miller’s “freelance” system, Jordin Mayes also enjoyed the camaraderie with the UA players on his visit to Tucson. Helping the Wildcats’ recruiting cause was his familiarity with Hill, who played at Fairfax, the very school Mayes’ team beat Monday night. Jordin Mayes also saw freshman forward Derrick Williams in Amateur Athletic Union tournaments while Williams was at La Mirada High School in La Mirada, Calif.

His recruitment also keeps the pipeline going through Westchester High School, the alma mater of former Wildcat guard Hassan Adams and NBA players Amir Johnson and Gabe Pruitt. With his recruitment over, Jordin Mayes said he’s happy the process has come to a conclusion.

“It’s very stressing, all these coaches calling, figuring who’s real and who’s not,” Jordin Mayes said.

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After entering the day with a sevenstroke lead, the California Golden Bears found themselves trailing midway through the final round before they prevailed over UA by one stroke at the Arizona Intercollegiate. The Bears only had two of their five players under par, but that was all they needed to win the tournament with a 29-under-par score.

“It would have been good to win,” said individual winner and UA junior Rich Saferian. “We were seven shots back and went five shots up. We didn’t take advantage of (the tournament) being on our home course, but overall it was a step in the right direction after we didn’t play that well in the fall.”

Cal — led by freshman Michael Weaver, who placed third individually at 10 under par — won their third tournament in five tries this season. All five Cal golfers finished in the top 20, including three in the top 10. Including Saferian, UA had three golfers in the top 20.

After entering the day in a tie for third place, Saferian, out of Scottsdale Community College, claimed the first individual victory of his collegiate career after he shot the best round of the day, a 5-under-par 66.

Saferian’s first-place finish was the first by a Wildcat this season and the UA’s first individual medalist since Tarquin MacManus at the 2009 NCAA Southeast Regional.

MacManus, a junior from Queensland, Australia, posted his first top-ten finish Tuesday after recording five of them during the 2008-09 season.

“I just played solid out there and didn’t make many mistakes outside of the second round,” MacManus said. “I was pressing myself a little bit, but all in all it was a good couple days for the team.”

Up next for the Wildcats is a trip to Honolulu, Hawaii, as they take part in the John A. Burns Intercollegiate tournament from Feb. 17-19, an event hosted by the University of Hawaii.

Tweeting with the Wise guy By @BryanJRoy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Editor’s Note: Point guard Nic Wise scored 30 points on Sunday to lift the Wildcats to a 76-72 victory over California.

The senior led Arizona in scoring and earned the second Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week accolade of his career. In the Daily Wildcat’s first-ever Twinterview, sports reporter Bryan Roy tweeted with Wise to discuss the Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament chances, his Kevin Garnett scream and whether UA basketball head coach Sean Miller will ever get a Twitter.

@WildcatHoops: What’s up Wildcats, we got an exclusive Twinterview with @TheNicWise. Let’s go: Nic, where does this Pac-10 POW award rank in your career? @TheNicWise: up there behind the national player of the week from last year. @WildcatHoops: You guys tore up February last season with a sevengame winning streak. Do you see any similarities this season? @TheNicWise: we’re a different team than last year but we’re at 4 in a row now so we’ll see what happens. @WildcatHoops: ESPN has you

in the Tourney. Is it hard not to get caught up in The Streak, especially as a senior? @TheNicWise: we’re not worried about the tourny right now. We haven’t even talked about it once this season.

We’re about the Pac-10. @WildcatHoops: Alright enough basketball... What’s up with the team’s love for twitter? This is a Final Four team if tweets were points. @TheNicWise: a lot of young like to have fun with our big fan base.

Also something to kill time with in class lol.

@WildcatHoops: That’s why you guys are a likable group. When will we see @TheSeanMiller on here? He savvy like that? @TheNicWise: don’t count on it. He thinks twitter can be trouble. @WildcatHoops: Trouble with haters talking trash? How has it been interacting directly with the big fan base? @TheNicWise: fanbase is good, get a lot of love and encouragement. @WildcatHoops: OK last few questions … What’s on your iPod right now? @TheNicWise: I have Short Dawg on repeat. He’s my boy from back

home and signed Lil Waynes ‘Young Money’ label. @WildcatHoops: Get him on that pregame intro video as you get McKale pumped. Why didn’t you unleash a Kevin Garnett scream in that? @TheNicWise: I just did what they asked me to say. @WildcatHoops: Fair enough. How will people remember The Nic Wise in 10 years from now? @TheNicWise: hopefully as somone who was loyal to the program and respected my love for the game and this University.

niques are popular (at least with interviewers) and seek information well beyond your dates of employment. They might ask that you list your greatest strengths. Okay, fair enough. How about your most challenging weaknesses? (Hint: When you choose these weaknesses, frame them so they convey, ever so subtly, a strength.) And be prepared to show how you have dealt with this “flaw” successfully.

Word of caution…claiming a “workaholic” nature as a weakness

Mr. Interviewer asks “What is your most successful failure?”

A blank look and an uncertain “Huh?” just won’t cut it.

probably won’t fly. But saying you’re very detail-oriented and you’ve learned to balance that strong instinct with getting work done by deadline is a good start. Being able to cite a specific example illustrating this point is even better. With “teams” being the buzzword of the Millennium, Ms. Interviewer will no doubt ask you about a time you worked effectively as part of one. What role did you play? How did you solve conflicts? It’s a good idea to have “stories” that emphasize your team experience ready.

Your next job interview is too important to enter cold. Get some practice with Career Services and improve your interviewing skills…and your confidence. Sign up today in the UA Career Services’ offices in Suite 411 of the Student Union Memorial Center.
