SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899

Presidential search nears end

By Will Ferguson DAILY WILDCAT

The search for the next UA president is finally drawing to a close, after a selection process that has spanned more than a semester.

Senior Vice President of Research Leslie Tolbert and Faculty Senate Secretary J.C. Mutchler announced Monday at the Faculty Senate meeting that the Arizona Board of Regents will make its decision about who will be the next UA president within a week or two.

“I know everyone was not happy with how this search went, but it is incumbent on us to help make this next person feel he has 100 percent support from the faculty,” Mutchler said.

Tolbert and Mutchler, two members of a regent-appointed presidential search committee, said the Arizona Board of Regents has committed to sending the final candidates to meet with campus community members before the next university president is named. They did not specify when and where this

meeting would be and whether it would be open to the public.

UA Interim President Eugene Sander said ABOR will reveal its decision at one of its meetings on Feb. 17 or 18.

“At this time four or five years ago, they were concluding the search,” he said. “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if the February Board of Regents meeting would be when they would announce their decision … but I’m not going to hint at anything else.”

The Faculty Senate’s concern

over Senate Bill 1474 took center stage for the rest of the meeting.

The bill would allow anyone with a concealed weapons license to take their firearm onto a university campus. Members of the senate voted unanimously to send a letter of opposition to the state legislature concerning the bill. The letter states UA faculty is strongly against SB 1474 and encourages members of the legislature to commit themselves to a meaningful dialogue on the subject.

Sander, who said he owns

several rifles and a handgun, had strong words against the passage of the bill.

“There are a lot of responsible gun owners. I am not worried about them,” he said. “I am worried about the yahoo who would walk into Centennial Hall with a gun, or someone like the guy who killed several members of our faculty a few years ago … The argument that a lot of people carrying guns will make it safer is wrong.”

Mobile app provides clicker alternative

By Stephanie Casanova

KEITH HICKMAN-PERFETTI / DAILY WILDCAT

With new smartphone apps the era of traditional classroom clickers may be over.

DAILY WILDCAT Now that the university recently chose one brand of clicker, Turning Technologies, to be used campus-wide, students may not need to worry about buying a clicker device at all, thanks to a new app.

Students can now buy and download the company’s application, ResponseWare, on their smartphone, tablet or laptop instead of buying a clicker at the bookstore, as long as their instructor isn’t opposed to the use of multimedia technology in the classroom. The cost of the application varies based on the length of the license.

While some students and professors see the clicker app as a benefit to the classroom, others strongly oppose the idea, unable to see any benefit of having a multimedia device active during lectures.

“It’s highly dependent on the preferences of the faculty in terms of what they want to see occur in

the class,” said Michele Norin, chief information officer and executive director of University Information Technology Services.

Steve Kortenkamp, a visiting instructor in planetary sciences, has allowed one of his students to use the clicker application on his iPad and the student has had to overcome a few problems with WiFi. Kortenkamp said he believes that if there’s a way to guarantee a stable Internet connection, then the application would be useful.

With a clicker device, shortanswer questions require more response time because students have to type using a phone-like dial pad instead of a full keyboard.

With the older clickers, students had to scroll through letters to respond.

“I think it (the app) works better than the actual clickers,” Kortenkamp said. “You could be using the full keypad on your laptop to reply to these questions and they could be longer and … get your thoughts across better than just

multiple choice A to E. But if you just have the device you buy in the bookstore, you’re limited.”

Derek Masseth, senior director of Infrastructure Services at UITS, and Malcolm Elliott, a multimedia instructional support technician, said they agree that it is ultimately up to the professor whether they allow a clicker application instead of the device itself. The acceptance of ResponseWare by professors has grown from 11 instructors last semester to 31 this semester, according to Elliot.

Astronomer and Senior Lecturer of Astronomy Thomas Fleming said he disagrees with Kortenkamp, and that he considers the use of any technology other than the clicker itself a distraction to the learning environment.

“I can’t trust the students. My duty is to have a distraction-free environment so they can learn,” Fleming said. “I think we’ve gotten our act together here at the

WORTH Arizona university students lobby NOTING legislators on higher education issues This day in history

By Rachel Gottfried DAILY WILDCAT

Students from the three in-state universities advocated for issues pertaining to higher education at the Arizona Students’ Association’s annual Lobby Con event in Phoenix.

The event is organized by the association, which works to ensure that higher education is affordable and accessible in the state by advocating to elected officials.

The three-day conference brought together student leaders from the UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University to learn about important issues in the public university system and gain advocacy and lobbying skills. Some of the participants were the association’s interns, students involved in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and other students approached about the opportunity and decided that they wanted to partake in the event.

The weekend prepared participating students for Lobby Day, which

took place on Monday, and allowed students to have the opportunity to go to the Arizona State Capitol and lobby legislators about the issues discussed throughout the weekend.

The first day of the conference focused on learning about Arizona’s budget, its political landscape and introduced issues regarding costs of university attendance and textbooks.

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett attended the conference to explain the budget and where higher education stands in the state’s priorities. Bennett put together a visual model to show that most of the state’s budget goes to the K-12 school system and health and welfare. Higher education, he said, is the state’s third priority.

Bennett explained that when the economy started declining, the state was forced to start borrowing money from the public universities. When the state was unable to pay the universities back RACHEL GOTTFRIED / DAILY WILDCAT on time, they delayed payments, causing some of the UA’s current problems.

Professors combat cheating in online classes Internet courses may give students chance to skirt academic honesty

By Stephanie Zawada DAILY WILDCAT With more educational options being offered online and through digital services, the opportunities for cheating have multiplied.

More than 75 percent of college students admit to cheating at least once in their post-secondary career,

according to a U.S. News & World Report article. Cheating in online classes is “a new example of an old problem,” said Stephen Gilliland, executive director of the Center for Leadership Ethics at the Eller College of Management.

“I think a big part of cheating comes from the available opportunity,” Gilliland said. “If there is an opportunity there, students that may not otherwise be likely to cheat may take that opportunity if it’s easy enough. I think the online course environment creates more opportunity.”

Online course management, Gilliland said, is more challenging than “brick-and-mortar” class control when it comes to test taking.

“We give a lot of thought to how we can ensure a testing environment that limits available opportunities for cheating,” he said. The Eller College put one of its larger classes online this past summer and had to work through a number of technical solutions to limit cheating opportunities, Gilliland said.

One way to control cheating is to limit the time when students can take

an exam, Gilliland said.

“Instead of letting people take the exam on a specific date, give them a time block to ensure that every student is taking the exam at the same time,” Gilliland said.

Another technological solution the college implemented was having a remote proctor. The college had a service watch the students take their exams through a web camera, and professors can look back at the footage if a student is reported cheating.

LA school staff to be replaced in wake of abuse allegations, superintendent says Mcclatchy tribune

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy told parents Monday evening that the district is replacing the entire staff of Miramonte Elementary School in the wake of the arrests last week of two teachers on lewd conduct charges.

The unprecedented move is intended to build confidence among the many families who have lost faith in their neighborhood elementary school. More than a quarter of students did not show up for classes Monday.

Officials stressed that no one else on the Miramonte staff is under suspicion of wrongdoing but that the chain of events has placed a cloud over the campus that can be lifted only with a drastic response.

One of the largest elementary schools in the nation, Miramonte has about 1,500 students and a teaching and administrative staff of about 150.

The displacement could be temporary: Many, maybe all, of the current staff will be returned to the school eventually, officials said. In the interim, their places will be filled by qualified teachers and other workers already on a placement or rehiring list. There are plenty of available candidates: Over the last several years, thousands of instructors and other non-teaching staff were laid off because of budget cuts; the vast majority are

considered fully qualified employees who lost work simply because they lacked sufficient seniority.

The displaced staff will continue to be paid and also will receive counseling for a series of events that also traumatized the Miramonte staff, officials said.

The restaffing is the latest development at Miramonte, which is south of downtown Los Angeles. A week ago, prosecutors charged a longtime teacher with 23 counts of lewd acts with a child. Mark Berndt, 61, allegedly spoon-fed his semen to blindfolded students and also took pictures of the acts. He has resigned from the district.

Later last week, sheriff’s deputies arrested his colleague, Martin Bernard Springer, 49, on suspicion of fondling two 7-year-olds in his class within the last three years.

Teachers union officials said in a statement that they have met with instructors at the school.

“We support a thorough, vigorous and fair investigation of all allegations. It’s everyone’s responsibility to ensure that any and all allegations are thoughtfully and carefully investigated,” the statement said.

Q Why is sex better after

you have been drinking?

A. with our brain chemistry, body functions, and behaviors in ways that researchers continue to study. Read on for three reasons you might Like many things in life... it’s complicated. Alcohol interacts

enjoy sex more after drinking:

1. Decreased inhibitions - For many people, alcohol serves as a “social lubricant,” making it easier to talk, dance, or hook up with a potential sexual partner – whether you are a shy, introverted guy or a gregarious partier. Always, always be clear that you have consent from your intimate partner prior to any sexual act.

2. Expectations - Our “mindset” often has more of an influence on our moods and behavior than the consumption of alcohol. Research has shown that if you expect alcohol to make you feel better... guess what? It may make you feel better-at least when you begin drinking and your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is in the low to moderate range (< .05 BAC). Heavy alcohol consumption often cancels out any benefits of a positive mindset.

3. Increased serotonin levels - Serotonin is a neurotransmitter associated with sleep, appetite, and pleasure (among other sensory behaviors). High serotonin levels can make a person feel good. Alcohol consumption can temporarily increase serotonin levels.

When you have sex “under the influence” your brain may perceive it as more pleasurable than sober sex. Brain chemistry is very complex and alcohol is just one of many factors that can raise serotonin activity. Exercise, sleep, and certain foods can also increase serotonin levels and feelings of pleasure. Alcohol and serotonin have a convoluted relationship. While a small increase in serotonin levels is good for some people, too much of an increase can be bad for others.

Word to the wise: Too much alcohol may negatively affect your sex life.

Heavy drinking can decrease testosterone production and impair erections in men, and decrease orgasmic response in women. Shakespeare wrote centuries ago in Macbeth, “Drink provokes the desire, but takes away the performance.” We warned you that it was complicated.

The east side of the UA Mall is used as a “green roof,” or a turf to provide insulation and cooling for buildings underground, to help drive down energy costs and create a better environment for buildings in the area.

In the mid to late 1990s, the UA employed a new building strategy to expand the campus while retaining the Mall’s structure and gaining the benefit of using nature to save money. The Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center was originally created as a way to retain incoming freshmen and help them graduate, according to Peter Dourlein, assistant vice president of

Fleming said that the university has overcome the “financial burden” by choosing one clicker, and the clicker application doesn’t provide any advantages as opposed to the clicker device itself, with the exception of using the application in smaller classrooms.

Sander addressed concerns raised from members of the Graduate and Professional Student Council regarding a university run daycare. He said because of ABOR Policy 1-105, which prohibits the university from competing with private industry, a university-run daycare would cost more than competitors in the area.

“I am not trying to be discouraging but there is a rich history in this issue that has given us nothing but heartburn,” he said. “I think the university, if it had got this done, would have done it a while ago.”

Sander brought up several additional budget issues to faculty members.

He mentioned a plan by several state legislators to put forward a bill to fund the $14.1 million UA Phoenix medical

Planning, Design and Construction.

The resources provided by the center include tutors, classrooms that use new technology, computer labs, information commons and resources for faculty to better help them teach their students.

Nowadays, the center’s resources, including the classrooms, are available for all students to use — not just freshmen. Not only does the implementation of the “green turf roof” help reduce heating and cooling costs in the center and in other building’s underground levels, it also creates a better environment for students, according to Garry Forger, an officer of DevelopmentGrants Management.

“Having the green space helps them (students) to relax, which helps them

do better in their studies,” Forger said.

The green roof also helps conserve natural resources by using reclaimed water. The initial project was not set out to be based on the tenets of environmental design, however. It was the first time the university employed environmentally sound building techniques.

“By using this unique concept of an underground building not only were we able to keep the integrity of the mall, but we were able to create our first green project,” said Chris Kopach, assistant vice president of Facilities Management.

The green roof project was completed in the early 2000s by alumni and was funded through the university.

20 people in the room,” Fleming said.

While a phone, tablet or laptop in the classroom can lead to multitasking and distractions, having a clicker on a smartphone can be convenient.

“It’s easier. You always have your phone on you, you don’t have to worry about leaving it behind,” said Gaizka Urreiztieta, an accounting sophomore.

Steve Wang, an adjunct professor in anthropology, said students are less likely to skip class if they use the app instead of the device itself.

“With a mobile app, chances are you probably need your phone with you and it’s less likely for you to give your phone to someone else,” Wang said.

“That may be able to eliminate that string of shortcuts that students take.”

Before any decision is made about the acceptability of the clicker app in all classrooms, there will be extensive group discussions including instructors and staff to consider widespread use of the device, Norin said.

“They’re going to be the ones in the classroom dealing with these issues real-time,” Norin said. “We’re balancing that desire to be on the cutting, leading, bleeding edge with, ‘okay how can we practically support these kinds of things and what role do they play in our classroom spaces, in our learning spaces?’”

campus, after it was left out of Gov. Jan Brewer’s recommended budget for fiscal year 2012.

“That budget hurt us more than it did us any good, however we think we are making progress in terms of fixing things,” he said.

He said a bill will be proposed next Wednesday to stick $14 million into the state budget for the Phoenix area medical school.

“We are very glad to participate for it, but whether this bill survives the appropriations committee is problematic,” he said.

Sander brought another state funding issue to the attention of faculty senate members. He said the governor’s proposal for a $30 million performance funding initiative for the Arizona University System has bothered him to no end.

“I don’t mind being based on performance but I have a real problem where the money comes for this item,” he said, adding the money for the

performance funding will be taken directly out of the university system’s already dwindling budget.

The Faculty Senate meeting ended with a report from UA Chief Financial Officer Milton Castillo. Castillo said the UA raised tuition by 20 percent in 2011 to counteract a 23 percent budget cut from the state. He said the UA is down around $50 million in state funding from 2008 levels.

“All the tuition increases have not offset our losses in state support,” he said.

Castillo pointed out that 63 percent of the university’s current operating expenses are from employee salaries and benefits, the majority of which comes from salary and salary benefits for tenured faculty.

He said for FY 2012, the university is estimating a total of $90 million in surplus revenue, down from $95 million in 2011. He said the decrease in revenue is principally due to some $80 million in state cuts to university education.

WillPower expands reach outside UA

By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat

A UA clothing and fundraising club is expanding its efforts to help fund cancer research with a new spring clothing line and by selling merchandise in additional stores around the country.

Since launching its line in October 2011 at the UofA Bookstore, WillPower has sold more than 1,700 units of merchandise, including T-shirts and wristbands with the UA and WillPower logos.

“We sold out of everything,” said Jimmy Ware, a regional development senior and the sales director of WillPower. “We made a whole line, which will give more emphasis to male clothing because we sold a lot of female clothing last time.”

On Wednesday, the UA club will be introducing its spring line at the bookstore with new items that are of higher quality than their previous shipments, according to Sami Zarifi, a civil engineering senior and founder of WillPower.

“This new spring clothing coming out on Wednesday is going to show how our style has gone from basic, generic clothing you would wear to work out to much more trendy items,” Zarifi said. “I think we are really stepping up and everyone will be able to see how much is has progressed.”

Zarifi was inspired to create the club and clothing line after his older brother, Will Zarifi, died of brain cancer in 2008. A portion of the sales made will go to the Steele Children’s Research Center, part of the Diamond Children’s Medical Center at the University of

Bennett also said that the state was forced cut about a half a billion dollars out of the higher education budget.

On the second day, students focused heavily on financial aid and the proposed House Bill 2675. The bill would require some in-state students at the UA, ASU and NAU to pay $2,000 out-of-pocket without the assistance of university aided scholarships or grants. Many students said this requirement would be the reason that prospective students would decide against attending college.

Other topics the students focused on were mobilizing the voice of the youth and preparing to get more students involved in the upcoming presidential

Macario Saldate, a Democrat representing Legislative District 27, Tom Anderes, president of the Arizona Board of Regents and Anne-Eve Pedersen from the Arizona Education Network came to the conference to talk about higher education with the students and shared ideas about how student and community leaders can collaborate to improve their universities.

Katy Murray, a marketing junior, said she loved the networking opportunities that Lobby Con offered to students and was able to have lunch with Saldate and Pedersen.

“This conference was a great way to remind students how much power we have and that our voice truly does matter,” Murray said.

On Monday, more than 150 students

of the Pacific 12 Conference schools including Arizona State University, University of Southern California and the University of Colorado this semester. The club’s merchandise distributor, Youth Monument, will be providing the licensing of these schools’ logos for the club to use. And

attended Lobby Day, where they had more than 70 meetings with different legislators. Most of their students voiced their concern about HB 2675.

“When legislators are able to see students come together and rally around one single cause, it really has a lot of impact on the legislature’s view,” said Chad Travis, a business economics junior.

“They (the legislators) didn’t really realize the effect that this bill had on students.”

Some members of the state legislature decided to oppose the bill after speaking with the students. James Allen, ASUA president, met with Sen. John Kavanagh, a Republican representing District 8 and sponsor of HB 2675. Allen said Lobby Day was extremely successful and that this event was the “best he’s ever done advocating for students.”

just like its previous sales model, a percentage of the profit made from the clothing will go to cancer research.

“It’s going to be the same type of garments but with different schools’ colors and logos,” Zarifi said.

“Expanding is something that we always knew would happen and we don’t want to spread ourselves too thin – but the thing about WillPower is the support we have to take it to the next level.”

The club gets a majority of its support from college and celebrity athletes who knew Will Zarifi or heard his story.

“He (Will Zarifi) was a basketball manager at USC when he was in college and in the time he was there he met a lot of amazing people,” Zarifi said. “And when he got sick he did a lot of outreach, which led to a lot more people finding out how motivated and inspirational he was.”

The club wants to use some of this star power to create a national movement by filming a commercial, which will air on ESPN and feature athletes including former UA basketball player Derrick Williams, Chicago Bulls basketball player Taj Gibson and retired Major League Baseball manager Tony La Russa.

After the commercial is finished the club will to pitch it to ESPN, who will air the footage for free as a donation to WillPower. The club is in the process of transitioning to a non-profit organization.

“We are really trying to push something that started off as a logo on a piece of paper to a real band that is a staple for Tucson and hopefully will come a staple in a lot of other college campuses,” Zarifi said.

CHEATING from page 1

“I’ve long recommended that at least the final exam be in-person and proctored,” said Richard Serlin, an adjunct professor of personal finance in the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences..

“That still makes the course very flexible for students.”

For students unable to take these exams due to geographical limits, Serlin said that it wouldn’t be hard to use an exam proctoring network the way Educational Testing Service, the SAT test proctor, does.

“Even with the added expense, these courses would still be overall much cheaper than traditional ones,” Serlin added.

Taylor Simmons, a physiology major, agreed that making tougher exams would help limit cheating opportunities.

“You have access to the materials for the coursework,” she said.

“But you could find out if someone has done the readings if the test questions are specific.”

Simmons said that she takes online classes because they free up time for extracurriculars.

In the end, Gilliland said that the simplest solution to reduce cheating in online classes is for professors to make tough exams.

“Assume that people are going to be using their notes and encourage them to do so,” he said. “Having a closed book exam for an online course makes no sense.”

editorial Kavanagh’s faulty in tuition

I

t’s often been said that you can’t put a price on a good education. But Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, is doing his damnedest to try.

House Bill 2675 would require full-time students attending Arizona universities to pay $2,000 out of pocket, without financial aid from private or public funding, including grants and scholarships.

Kavanagh, who introduced HB 2675, said it was inspired by the 48 percent of Arizona State University students who pay no tuition because of subsidies from ASU. The depth of Kavanagh’s cavernous ineptitude is astounding. The logic for his bill seems to be that, if you already demonstrate financial need in order to obtain a college education, you should have to pay more to do so. This is akin to when your parents make you buy that shiny new bicycle yourself, so you appreciate it more.

The major difference is that the bicycle scenario is an attempt to teach a valuable lesson about responsibility, and Kavanagh’s bill is tantamount to class warfare.

More specifically, it’s an attack on lower-income students, who, if you ask Kavanagh, just need a better attitude.

“Paying for what you get builds character,” Kavanagh said in an earlier interview with the Daily Wildcat.

True, especially if “character” is synonymous with “needless It’s an attack on debt.”

Kavanagh lower-income seems to be students, who, under the if you ask impression that being a plucky Kavanagh, just go-getter is what need a better really pays for attitude. college. After all, he probably has bootstraps on his bootstraps — all the better to pull himself up by, unlike those college students leeching the state dry in their selfish pursuit of higher education.

According to Kavanagh, the bill was necessary because, “In these times we can’t be giving away, for free, a fine university education to people who aren’t athletes or scholars.”

Let’s break down the UA’s financial aid situation. According to a draft of the UA’s Common Data Set, a federal document that compares the nation’s universities on a variety of common topics, the UA awarded about $61.7 million in need-based financial aid to students this year. In comparison, the total amount of “self-help” aid for students — which includes non-parental loans, federal work-study programs and other employment — and parental loans totaled upwards of $122 million, almost twice as much as all the financial aid offered.

To put that in perspective, if this debt was apportioned to every UA student enrolled in 2010, each student would have more than $2,700 in debt, including the athletes and scholars Kavanagh is feverishly working to spare.

So what’s an extra $2,000 a pop?

Everyone’s already in debt anyway. After all, there’s more student loan debt than credit card debt in the United States.

The Arizona Constitution states, “The University and all other state educational institutions shall be open to students of both sexes, and the instruction furnished shall be nearly free as possible.”

Color us skeptical, but graduating with thousands of dollars in debt doesn’t seem to fit the billing of being “nearly free as possible.”

Though, to be fair, Kavanagh never benefitted from the financial aid hemorrhage that spills out of Arizona’s universities. He only received degrees from New York University, St. John’s University and Rutgers University. And most assuredly Kavanagh’s bootstraps were sufficiently cinched to get through college without state subsidies. At best, Kavanagh’s bill is woefully misguided, and at worst it deliberately targets students who are already financially stretched. He and his fellow members of the Legislature would do well to remember that a student’s financial struggle is neither a frame of mind nor a character-building exercise. It’s a stark reality begat out of a state that continues to wage an ever-escalating war on public education.

Maybe if Kavanagh didn’t have cranial atrophy he would be able to rethink a bill that places an additional and undue burden on those that already struggle the most. After all, a mind, much like money, is a terrible thing to waste.

The Stanford Daily Stanford University “On the Margins, Between the Lines: Attrition of women from techie majors” My mother is a structural engineer; my dad is a computer scientist. When I entered Stanford, I was sure I was going to be techie. I didn’t know what I wanted to major in (although science seemed like a good bet), so I started off my freshman year with all of the introductory math and science classes I could take. Now, five years later, I’ve ended up with a degree in … sociology.

How did that happen? I wish I could say it was because I discovered this great new field I never knew existed and fell in love with it. Although I have enjoyed my major, the truth is that in many ways I’m a sociology major because I got too fed up with techie classes to major in them.

Despite jumping into techie courses with much enthusiasm freshman year, I soon came to realize that the classes themselves were just not that enjoyable. I frequently encountered professors whose English I could not understand and who lacked the ability to command a classroom or explain concepts at a student’s level.

I disliked feeling like just a number in a class, the inaccessibility of the professors and most of all, the tests designed to produce an average grade of 40 percent so that everyone feels as though he or she has failed.

So my question is: Stanford, what are you doing to ensure that our STEM majors aren’t just another piece of the leaky pipeline? I know that we have numerous extracurricular groups and programs to support women and minorities, but the classroom experience in techie majors leaves a lot to be desired. With the exception of introductory computer science and product design classes, the majority of techie classes geared toward freshmen and sophomores utilize pedagogy that have been shown to drive away women and minorities. So, Stanford, I challenge you to do your part to stop the pipeline from leaking and revisit undergraduate technical curriculums to improve them for your female and minority students.

Daily Californian UC Berkeley “Demonizing democracy”

Students, faculty and online commenting trolls, the libertarian troublemaker is back!

Last semester, I was called an “idiot,” a “frat boy rhetor” and — my personal favorite — a “dumb libertarian who jerks off to Ayn Rand.”

Yet, despite the fact that my IQ is greater than 30, I don’t belong to a fraternity and Rand was an objectively ugly woman, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the abuse and am thrilled to be your political columnist for my final semester at Berkeley.

Why, you may ask, am I such an intellectual masochist? The answer, dear reader, is discourse.

Berkeley is an awfully comfortable place to be a liberal. And while I understand the unlikeliness of my column changing minds about the role of government, I hope my unorthodox viewpoint will seem sensible enough to cultivate respect for dissenting opinions.

Indeed, it’s all too easy to demonize one’s political opponents. In the heat of argument, we can get swept up in our ideology and make hyperbolic statements about dissenters. Liberals become “socialist Nazis” and conservatives become, well, “fascist Nazis.”

Not surprisingly, most attempts to implement direct democracy in American policy-making have been utter failures.

Of course, the solution to democracy’s woes shouldn’t be authoritarianism. As much as Plato would have us believe it, there are no philosopher kings to solve the world’s problems, and all attempts to find them have miserably failed — like those socialist, fascist Nazis! Instead, we should minimize the role of democracy and allow individuals the freedom to live, love, interact and trade with each other so long as they don’t harm anybody. This is precisely the way we live our everyday lives, so why won’t the government follow suit?

Daily Emerald University of Oregon “Washington did it — now it’s Oregon’s turn for marriage equality” When it comes to football, let’s face it — Oregon’s superiority to Washington is nearly blinding. We’ve won every “Border War” game since 2004. But when it comes to things far more important than football, Washington seems to beat us to the punch every time.

Last week, the Washington state Senate passed a bill that would allow same-sex marriage statewide. The bill moves on to the House this week, and many predict it will easily be signed into law, making Washington the seventh state to legalize gay marriage.

Oregon is not on that list of seven.

In 2004, Oregon passed Measure 36, amending the Oregon Constitution to define marriage as only between one man and one woman. In 2007, then-Governor Ted Kulongoski signed into law several bills that gave gay and lesbian couples the right to form civil unions in the state, allowing same-sex couples many of the same rights as heterosexual couples.

But many does not mean all, and the state constitution still bans same-sex marriage. In a state that prides itself on its progressive thinking and open-mindedness, this ban is a disturbing and shameful blemish.

Women won the vote in Oregon in 1912; Washington gave it in 1910. Oregon legalized interracial marriage in 1951, while Washington never had a law banning it in the first place.

The point is, when it comes to civil rights, Washington has always been ahead of Oregon.

The fact is that the Oregon Constitution says explicitly, “It is the policy of Oregon, and its political subdivisions, that only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or legally recognized as a marriage.”

Relationships worthy of marriage are structured on so much more than gender that to make this arbitrary distinction a law seems almost childish.

It’s time for Oregon to step up its game and become a part of the progressing world.

MAilbag In response to the Feb. 2 column “Electronic bikes deprive students of exercise, cash”: What is the main purpose of a bicycle? It can be exercise, but it can also be solely as transportation.

How far is the typical student’s commute? You are correct if that is less than three flat miles each way, and have safe roads/paths to ride; I would agree with you that a manual bike is a better overall choice.

But did you ask yourself how many students drive a car because they have a longer commute? An ebike is an excellent way to go 5 to 20 miles without exhausting yourself, getting soaked in sweat (you are in Arizona, right?), and requiring a lot of additional calories (assuming the rider doesn’t want to lose weight. Yes, some students should lose weight, but that is not the issue) In fact, an ebike ridden 5 to 15 miles allows the rider to exercise at will, and neither forces

nor denies the rider exercise. How much exercise does a car driver get?

It’s been proven that ebikes are at least as environmentally friendly as manual bikes when you factor in how inefficient food calories are. A typical lithium ebike battery will last 20,000 lifetime miles and use less electricity than it would to just cook the additional food a normal cyclist would need.

What I am saying is that an ebike is the better choice for transportation in the real world where it’s not safe to go 12mph, not healthy to breathe automobile exhaust while exercising, and traveling 10 to 20 miles daily.

I think single occupancy automobile trips are insanely excessive and cause so many problems in urban areas. Can you write an article about that?

In response to the Jan. 31 column titled, “Affirmative action doesn’t help”: I just wanted to say thanks for speaking for many of us in your column about affirmative action.

It is refreshing to know journalists are coming up the ranks who aren’t so biased as we’ve come to expect from most of the media. God bless you! If you don’t already, I beg you to make time for reading the Bible to keep you on a course with moral bearings. Begin with the gospel of John (4th book in New Testament). If that doesn’t grab you, keep reading, but it has an unusual power to connect people to the true source of everything.

— Lee Sommitz In response to the Feb. 6 article, “Concealed carry club seeks adviser”: “Concealed Carry” is an unnecessary danger to the

community and allowing it on campus is irresponsible to the more than 40,000 people on campus. Do you think it is appropriate to bring a firearm, however concealed it might be, to an office or a church?

There are reasons why there are limitations on firearms in various places from government institutions to airports and beyond.

A university is an esteemed place of higher learning, not a gun-toting free-for-all. It comes down to some people being more comfortable carrying a gun than not, but they have to consider those of us that are more comfortable knowing weapons are still forbidden from the places where we spend most of our time. Lastly, do we really want the University of Arizona to be known as the one where everyone carries guns?

Police Beat

By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Vending machine vandals

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call made by an Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall community director at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday after one of the custodians reported that a vending machine had been damaged. The glass panel was completely shattered and there were multiple food items taken. Officers investigated the area around the vending machines, and calculated that repairing the machine would cost more than $300. Officers also noticed there was a security camera above the vending machine.

They viewed the camera’s tapes with the resident assistant so the RA could help identify the potential suspect.

The tape showed two male students standing in front of the vending machine. One of them was swiping his CatCard to get an item, but the vending machine did not process his request fast enough. The other student started slamming on the machine’s windows and shaking the machine until the glass had shattered into pieces. The two looked at each other with shock and left the scene.

Within hours, others were coming to purchase food from the machine and saw the glass shattered. Instead of reporting the broken vending machine, the students simply grabbed food and left the scene. The RA was able to identify the two students who initially broke the vending machine, and officers went to the students’ rooms. One of the students told the officers, “We did not want to break the glass or damage it, we were simply trying to buy some candy.” The two were cited for criminal damage of less than $1,000 and referred to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct violations.

Seatbelt sorrows

UAPD officers stopped a male student at 5:35 p.m. on Wednesday along Park Avenue for displaying suspended plates. The officer asked the student for his driver’s license and registration. When the officer asked why the student was not wearing a seatbelt, he replied, “I don’t know, I was not wearing one prior to the stop.” The officer scanned his driver’s license and registration and it showed that the Tucson Police Department had a warrant out for his arrest for underage drinking. The officer confirmed it with TPD and placed the student under arrest. His car was impounded for 30 days and the student was cited for failure to show proof of insurance, failure to wear a seatbelt, possessing a suspended registration and having a warrant out for his arrest. He was transported to the Pima County Jail, and was also referred to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct violations.

His friend bailed him out of jail.

Harassment horrors

UAPD officers responded to a call from a frightened female who said that her former roommates were harassing her at 9:15 p.m. on Tuesday night. Police arrived at the scene and the girl explained that she used to live with two girls in the Arbol de La Vida Residence Hall. She moved out after she couldn’t handle the girls’ televisions being too loud and the lights and music always being on, so she requested a room transfer and moved up to the dorm’s fifth floor.

The student said she was on the fifth floor in a study room when her two former roommates walked into the room and asked her for money to help pay for their Sparkletts water service. The former roommate informed them that she canceled the water service when she moved out, and clearly remembered telling the two girls about the cancellation. The two students then changed the subject and began harassing their former roommate. The student ran out of the study room and into her personal room to call the police.

UAPD officers found the two students and informed them that their actions constituted harassment. Officers advised the two girls to stay clear of their former roommate and to not go on the fifth floor to harass her. The two students were also told that if they needed to contact the girl, they should go through the Dean of Students Office or through the local court system.

“What is Special About Language?”

Presented by Noam Chomsky This February, Noam Chomsky, a worldrenowned linguist, intellectual and political activist, will set foot on the University of Arizona campus for the first time. In the world of linguistics, Chomsky is king. And he will not merely be dropping by to give a public lecture, he will be spending a few days at the UA, giving two formal lectures – one academic and one for the general public – and also spending time with the faculty and students in the department. “Chomsky’s visit is an extraordinary opportunity for us,” says linguistics graduate student Jeff Punske.

“He is the father of modern linguistics. Our meeting is akin to physics students getting to have a salon with Newton or Einstein.

It is that big.” Now in his 80s, he has not slowed down, still traveling, lecturing, writing and grabbing headlines. Chomsky’s fame has extended into popular culture, leading such fans as Bono of U2 to describe him as the “Elvis of academia.” Student Union Memorial Center North Ballroom, Tuesday, February 7 at 4 p.m.

Ansel Adams: The View from Here Perhaps no photographer’s work has enjoyed such popularity as Ansel Adams’s awe-inspiring views of the natural world. His early trips to the Yosemite wilderness in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s informed the stylistic approach that made him famous. These treks included not only the physical activities of hiking, camping, and mountain climbing, but also social, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual elements. With forty photographs and supporting documents from the Ansel Adams Archive, Ansel Adams: The View from Here explores the relationship between Adams’s magical photographs of the American landscape - both its panoramic vistas and its intimate details - and how he came to understand the importance of his natural environment. Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, Saturday & Sunday, 1pm – 4pm through March 4th at The Center for Creative Photography: 1030 North Olive Road.

Fogg named Pac-12 POW for Bay Area performance

COLIN DARLAND / DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona guard Kyle Fogg was named the Pac-12’s player of the week.

Arizona guard Kyle Fogg was named the Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week after leading the Wildcats to a pair of road wins over California and Stanford, commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.

The 6-foot-3, 188-pounder averaged 18.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and four assists as Arizona became the first Pac-12 team to win at Stanford this season and the first team to win at Cal since the Wildcats’ thrilling tripleovertime win a season ago. Fogg shot 47.8 percent from the field, 61.5 percent from 3-point range and 87.5 percent from the free throw line over the weekend.

Fogg also connected on the go-ahead shot late in Saturday’s win over the then-conferenceleading Golden Bears before swatting away a potential gametying 3 from Cal guard Allen

Crabbe. He also scored 10 points in less than four minutes to help Arizona climb out of a 13-point hole.

Fogg is starting to emerge as Arizona’s go-to player in clutch situations after the win against Cal — the first time this season the Wildcats won a game decided in the final minute.

Fogg made an equal impact on defense, recording two blocks and three steals and holding his primary matchup to 28.6 percent shooting from the field. Fogg is averaging 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists this season.

This is Fogg’s first career conference player-of-the-week and the third time this season an Arizona player has picked up the honor after Solomon Hill earned the accolade on Dec. 5, 2011 and Dec. 26, 2011. The Brea, Calif., native is Arizona’s 83rd all-time player of the week recipient.

Top 2012 wide receiver/defensive back recruit Davonte Neal will announce where he intends to go to college on Feb. 21, his father told AZCentral.com.

The Scottsdale, Ariz., native is rated a fivestar prospect, is the No. 8 overall recruit in the 2012 ESPNU 150 and comes in as the No. 1 ranked athlete in the class of 2012.

According to 247Sports Network, Neal has eliminated Oklahoma — the new home of former UA coaches Mike Stoops and Tim Kish — and Ohio State from contention,

leaving Arizona as one of four finalists.

Neal has already taken official visits to Notre Dame, Arkansas and North Carolina, so expect those schools to be the other three finalists.

His father said he might drive his son to the UA on Saturday for an unofficial visit.

Neal, who hails from Chaparral High School, is nominated for the Ed Doherty Award, which will be handed out during a luncheon on Friday to the state’s best player.

The 5-foot-10, 175 pound highly touted recruit is also a two-time Gatorade State Football player of the year.

High School Firebirds to a 14-1 record and the Division II state championship. On the season, he combined to score 35 touchdowns — 16 rushing, 14 receiving and five on punt and kick returns. He ran the ball 100 times for 1,317 yards, caught 62 passes for 1,113 yards and averaged 39.4 yards on kick returns.

It is unclear what position Neal would play were he to attend Arizona, but his explosiveness — he runs a 4.47 second 40yard dash according to ESPN.com — suggests a future as a receiver, or at the very least, a returner on special teams.

he Arizona women’s basketball team has reached its tipping point.

If the Wildcats don’t turn things around immediately, its chances of salvaging a once promising season will evaporate. It will be over. A thought that didn’t even cross the mind one month ago, when Arizona surprised the UCLA Bruins in a 74-66 win.

It’s been well documented how Arizona started off with a ten-year best record of 11-1. Since that point, they are just 2-9, capped off by the most recent blowout loss to Stanford in which they were defeated by 40 points. In those nine losses, five were by 10 or more points.

The losing streak, which has now reached six games, has the Wildcats alone in last place in the Pac-12 with a 2-9 record. Arizona has tried sticking with the same formula that won those first 10 games. Run, shoot threes, and give the ball to Davellyn Whyte. That formula, at its best, is what helped the Wildcats overcome turnover and rebounding issues in its first 12 games and get those 11 victories. Then, that formula stopped producing its desired result.

In their last five games, the Wildcats have shot just 27 percent from beyond the arc and have averaged just above four fast break points per game.

Whyte has had the worst stretch of basketball of her career, bottoming out with zero points in 14 minutes of action — without injury — against Stanford. Head coach Niya Butts needs to make a change, and what she needs to do is hidden in plain sight — play the freshmen.

Aley Rohde has taken a while, but she’s finally starting to come into her own. She has been in the starting lineup all season, but recently she has proven ready for plays to start running through her. In her last three games, she has averaged 12.7 points, nine rebounds and one block per game. In most games, the 6-foot-5 Cave Creek, Ariz., native is the tallest player on the floor.

Fraternity hazing at colleges exemplifies bigger problems T

his past week hasn’t been a great one for fraternities. Hazing allegations, even here at the UA, have created scandals for Greek organizations and their home universities. While the integrity of these allegations is questionable, the respective communities’ reactions have made one point crystal clear: Hazing will not be tolerated.

Phi Kappa Psi’s national organization revoked its chapter recognition for the UA last week, and the University of Dayton’s chapter was suspended by the school’s administration. The UA chapter lost its recognition because a former member reported that he’d been hazed during his college years. Some current members doubt that these allegations are true and say that even if they are, the hazing was exaggerated and occurred many years ago.

newspaper, has caused an uproar. In the column, which was published on Jan. 25, former fraternity member Andrew Lohse described his own gruesome hazing experiences including swimming “in a kiddie pool full of vomit, urine, fecal Lauren Shores matter, semen and rotten food products.”

Daily Wildcat He claimed that the administration is fully aware of the open secret and chooses to While some question the UA allegations, do nothing about it. Lohse wrote that his the University of Dayton chapter has solid experiences are the norm, and that without proof of hazing. According to Flyer News, help, ritual hazing will be a difficult habit Dayton’s student newspaper, an underage to break. After publication, more than Phi Kappa Psi pledge was forced to drink 100 outraged Dartmouth faculty signed an excessive amount of alcohol in October a letter to the administration, asserting 2011, and he had to be taken to the hospital that everyone knows about the hazing for treatment. and that it directly contradicts Dartmouth According to its website, Phi Kappa Psi’s standards. mission is “(to engage) men of integrity, The UA, like most colleges and further (develop) their intellect and universities nationwide, has a zero enhance community involvement. With tolerance policy when it comes to hazing, a legacy built on acceptance and trust, hence Phi Kappa Psi’s lost recognition. each brother realizes his highest potential The UA Greek Life website has extensive through a lifelong experience of service resources regarding hazing, and and excellence.” If these hazing allegations organizations are required to participate are indeed true, then these chapters are not in National Hazing Prevention Week living up to their mission. every year. However, it’s clear that not At Dartmouth College, a controversial all fraternities and sororities, at the UA op-ed in The Dartmouth, the student and nationwide, are practicing what they

preach.

For the 90 percent of UA students who aren’t involved in Greek Life, initiation and other rituals are shrouded in mystery.

Since the organizations are understandably hesitant to reveal the truth about hazing, all average students have to go on are rumors or movies that show cloaked men paddling each other in basements. If any of the hazing rumors spread around campus are true, however, then their respective greek organizations are blatantly disregarding their missions.

No one deserves to be hazed; it is psychologically damaging, and it is morally wrong to make anyone experience what Lohse claims to have experienced. Is someone’s worth in an organization really dependent on his or her tolerance of humiliation and abuse? The fraternities and sororities that treat their members with respect are the ones that truly support a brotherhood or sisterhood, which is what the new pledges are looking for.

UA should ban bottled water sales R

emember when you were in elementary or middle school and the only sources of water you had were the drinking fountains in the halls or outside by the playground? Imagine if the same thing was applied on the UA campus.

Before the making and distribution of bottled water was popularized, there wasn’t much concern about how hydrated you were. People were OK with their glass of water or drinking fountains. However, when bottled water hit the shelves, the way Americans drink water was revolutionized.

People couldn’t walk out their doors unless they had a water bottle in their hand. Cases of water bottles were sold at

ending bottled water sales, and are now reaping the benefits in a campus-wide change in provided services.

As an alternative, the university will install 75 water bottle refilling stations across campus to promote the use of Serena Valdez reusable bottles and save on recycling Daily Wildcat plastic water bottles and reduce waste.

The UA, as a desert campus, would every grocery store for low prices. Vending benefit from a decision like UVM’s. machines started selling water bottles Students need to stay hydrated in the high amongst the soda products. Different and dry temperatures Tucson provides, so brands of bottled water appeared: why pay $1.25 for a bottle of water when Aquafina, Dasani, Fiji Water, Arrowhead you can bring your own bottle and use a and so many others. Everyone was water bottle refilling station? actually concerned about getting their A ban on the sale of bottled water could eight glasses — or four 16-ounce bottles be a step forward in continuing the UA’s — of water each day and the concern involvement in the green movement remains stronger than ever. while still providing alternatives to ensure The University of Vermont, however, students stay hydrated. The campus has is stopping the sale of bottled water by drinking fountains at conveniently placed January of next year, joining a small list of locations around campus, so if the UA were universities that have done the same thing. to install water bottle refilling stations at In efforts to be more environmentally these drinking fountains, water bottles conscious, students spoke out about would be easier to fill up in locations

students are already familiar with.

Yes, there is the chance that some days there is so much to do that it would be easy to forget a water bottle in the car, or at home. During those times, you end up buying a water bottle, but it would cost less to spend the 52 cents or so to get water — with ice even — at Starbucks than the $1.25 at a vending machine, where you could possibly be tempted to buy soda instead.

Or you could go old school and just use the drinking fountains.

Reverting back to how it was done in middle school is not a bad idea. The environment benefits from less waste, the university can save money on recycling costs and you get to stay hydrated free of charge. Just go buy that school-spirited water bottle and enjoy your refills, free of charge.

Aging of the Brain Carol A. Barnes

The brain is composed of billions of cells, the connections amongst which capture and preserve unique experiences. Over the past half-century, ideas about the aging brain have evolved away from it being an organ of passive deterioration towards the realization that it is capable of dynamic adaptation and high levels of function well past 100 years. One question remains— can we all achieve this?

Power rankings: Who’s on top of the Pac?

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Despite its reputation for both conference and non-conference woes, the Pac-12 pecking order is finally starting to take shape. Here’s a look at each team and where it stands in the conference race:

1. WASHINGTON: Since the season started, Washington has been by far the most talented team in the conference. That talent is finally starting to translate into wins.

Behind the three-guard attack of Tony Wroten, Terrence Ross and CJ Wilcox, the Huskies have rattled off five straight wins. They’re 11-2 in their last 13 games and are poised to win the conference and earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

and Justin Cobbs.

3. COLORADO: Aside from a 17-point road loss to UCLA, Colorado is one of the conference’s hottest teams. It swept the Oregon schools at home and has won five of its last six. The Buffs also have big wins over Arizona and Washington, but they’re not quite in the Washington and Cal tier just yet. It’ll be much clearer how high their ceiling really is after they take on Arizona in McKale Center on Thursday.

4. ARIZONA:

6. UCLA:

The Bruins have the talent to battle for the conference title, but their inconsistency has kept them in the middle of the pack. UCLA is trending upward, however, having won three of its last four games with the only loss coming at Washington by two points.

7. OREGON STATE:

Jared Cunningham is the conference’s best player, and he has the pieces around him for the Beavers to be successful. But their three best players are sophomores, and that youth can be seen in the Beavers’ inconsistency.

The Wildcats are a home sweep away from shooting up as far as Stanford’s number two in the rankings. Arizona is coming overall record is impressive at 16-7, but its best off of a huge road sweep of the Bay Area schools non-conference win came against Oklahoma and can catapult above both Colorado and Cal State. The Cardinal is well-coached by Johnny with wins over the Buffs and Utes this weekend.

STRUGGLES

Erin Butler is the team’s best 3-point shooter.

On the season, she’s shot 44 percent from long range. When given the playing time and the ball, she has proven capable of going on a hot streak and becoming the outside scoring threat this team needs, as evidenced by her 23-point outburst against Oregon.

Then there is Layana White. On the statsheet, her contributions aren’t as noticeable. She only averages 1.8 points and 0.9 rebounds in 6.5 minutes per game. But, as Butts herself pointed out, you can never accuse White of not giving her best effort at all times. Against Stanford, White didn’t enter the game until the second half when there was 9:32 left on the clock and the score was 78-36 in the Cardinal’s favor. In that nine-minute time span, White recorded nine points on 4-of-6 shooting and two steals.

“She plays all out, doesn’t matter what the situation is. I know that I’m going to get

NEAL

FROM PAGE 6

Arizona’s chances of securing Neal are increased by the fact that two of Neal’s former high school teammates, along with a former coach, are taking their services to the UA. Defensive end Dylan Cozens, ranked the 48th best defensive end by Scout.com, announced his decision to enroll last week. Arizona Republic All-Arizona-selection linebacker Cody Ippolito,

9. WASHINGTON STATE:

The Cougars have a fairly impressive resume with wins against Cal, Stanford and Oregon State, but the loss of Faisal Aden for the season combined with a handful of ugly losses — at ASU and at Utah — has them at number nine.

10. ASU:

The Sun Devils are awful.

They’ve lost five of their last six, and when they lose, it’s not even close. But ASU is at number 10 due to the sole fact that there are two teams that are, believe it not, worse than Herb Sendek’s squad.

11. USC:

Statistically, the Trojans are the worst team in the Pac-12. But Utah is so bad that the Utes actually handed USC its first conference win of the season. Plus, USC actually has some legitimate Division I players. Utah, not so much.

12. UTAH: See USC.

everything she has,” Butts said about White.

“That’s one kid that’s going to play all out.”

On a team where effort and focus have been seemingly hard to come by, why isn’t the hardest-working player getting more playing time?

The Wildcats are on the struggle bus right now and Whyte is in the driver’s seat. If Arizona wants to salvage its season, and maybe even build some momentum for the Pac-12 tournament, these freshmen need playing time.

In all likelihood — unless Arizona can pull off an unprecedented seven-game winning streak to close out the season — an at-large NCAA tournament bid is out of reach. But if they can win four or five out of the seven games, maybe that will be all the momentum this team needs to make a run through the Pac-12 tournament.

The talent is there, it’s about time the team started using it.

who is close friends with Neal, will attend the UA as well.

“I guess everyone has me going to Arizona now,” Neal told ESPN last week. “My dad said his phone has been blowing up with people asking him if it’s true. I’m not sure if it’s because a couple of my teammates signed there or because my old coach, Charlie Ragle, is now on staff there. I honestly don’t listen to rumors like that.”

Ragle, Chaparral’s former head coach, was recently hired to join head coach Rich Rodriguez’s staff as assistant director of operations.
