Public debates guns on campus By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Last week’s contentious resolution to oppose teachers carrying guns on campus has not ruffled as many feathers this week. Several students and faculty do not plan on attending tonight’s public forum on the issue. The Associate Students of the University of Arizona ruled in favor of hosting a public forum to allow students and faculty to voice their opinions regarding the state Senate bill, which would allow teachers to carry guns on campus. While some agreed the forum could be productive, many said they do not plan to give their opinion publicly. “We want to make sure to hear from as many people as possible,” said Sen. Tyler Quillin. “We’re going to put the feedback and sentiments of our constituents into consideration.” The forum is scheduled for tonight at 7 in the Santa Rita room of the Student
Union Memorial Center, according to Sen. Stephen Wallace. “I think it’s good (to have the forum),” said Natasha Brown, an equine sciences sophomore. “But to me it’s not important.” Brown said she doesn’t plan to attend the forum because she feels safe and doesn’t see the need to raise the issue. She did say that it is important to have a public forum. During last Wednesday’s ASUA meeting, a handful of students came to protest the passing of a resolution which opposed the bill that would have allowed teachers with concealed weapons permits to carry guns on campus. The resolution also opposed allowing students to store weapons in their vehicles. Although anyone from the public can participate in the forum, Quillin said it will be structured with an emphasis on students’ opinions. Andrew Mash, a pre-business sophomore, said nothing bad can come

from having a discussion but added that he doesn’t plan to attend either. “It’s a controversial issue,” Mash said. “It never hurts to discuss (those) in detail.”
Mignon Harter, a nutrition and political science freshman, said students should get a say on the issue because it affects them, but like the others, she FORUM, page 5

The Obama administration sees education as a solution to the economic crisis . “The president is investing in education. He sees it as the key to our economic future,” said Arne Duncan, the secretary of education , in a press confernce call Feb. 1. A year ago, President Barack Obama set a goal to improve education so the United States would have the highest number of college graduates by 2020. According to Duncan, the U.S. needs to add an additional 10 million students to meet its goal. “We are trying to be as creative and thoughtful as we can to help students get into college,” Duncan said. The administration hopes to strengthen education through the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act . “This constitutes the biggest investment in higher education since the GI Bill,” Duncan said. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act will invest $40 billion to increase the annual Pell Grant Scholarship. The administration projects that in 2019, the Pell Grant will be worth $6,900. The Recovery Act of 2009 increased the Pell Grant by more than $600, and Obama’s 2010 budget will increase the maximum award from $5,350 to $5,550. Some are asking where the money for the new bill will come from. “We can do all of this without EDUCATION, page 3

RA weekend duty will expand to 24 hours By Laura Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The 2010-11 Resident Assistant Agreement is looking to expand weekend building duty requirements to 24-hour coverage, said Torry Brouillard-Bruce , assistant director of Residence Life . “We’re looking to redefine what it means to be on duty over the weekend,” Brouillard-Bruce said . “The concept is that there will always a resident assistant on duty who is able to respond for (a) 24-hour time frame over the weekend.” Residence Life will not have 24-hour coverage during the school week because community directors are in the office, desk staff is available and buildings and offices are open. “We have people around during the week that can address situations as needed,” Brouillard-Bruce said. Right now, duty coverage lasts from 7 p.m. on Friday to 7 a.m. on

of the university or Residence Life.” Community directors were under the impression that they could not speak to the media without permission from Assistant Vice President of Residence Life James Van Arsdel. “Only James Van Arsdel can talk to the media,” said Bethany Anderson, community director of Coronado Residence Hall . Various other community directors would not comment on the 2010-11 Resident Assistant Agreement changes. RAs are welcome to write in letters to the editor of the Wildcat as students, but not as representatives of Residence Life, Bruce-Brouillard said. “One resident assistant is not representative of Residence Life as a whole,” Brouillard-Bruce said of the policy. “This is also a growing experience for resident assistants. It will help them learn to be careful with what they say, and they won’t risk being misquoted.”

The Student Recreation Center will be closed from 6 a.m. to noon on Wednesday because of a problem with its water pipes. “We were just told it’s some work they had to do on some of the piping in the expansion that’s connected to the existing building,” said Juliette Moore, director of Campus Recreation. According to Moore, there are problems with a particular water pipe that was installed as part of the Rec Center expansion, and in order to make the necessary repairs, all of the water in the center must be shut off. “We think it’s important for us to (close the Rec Center) for health and safety and sanitation,” Moore said. “It’s better for us because there wouldn’t be any use of the toilets, water fountains or any water.” Moore said this repair is something that must be done, otherwise the gym would not be closed. “I think that those that get up in the morning so they miss the nighttime traffic will be pissed that the Rec Center is going to close,” said Hannah Read, a retail and consumer sciences freshman. Other students sympathized with the Rec Center’s needs. “I think it’s better that they fix whatever problem (there is), because it must be important,” said pre-nursing sophomore Stacey Davis. “People can go work out elsewhere for one day.”

News Tips
Undeclared freshman Do you think you’ll have grandkids one day? I hope so. What do think is going to be one of the moments from your life that you’ll tell them about one day? Probably about college life and how crazy it’s been. Any specific stories? Not really. Just all the new friends that I’ve made. My roommates, who I love. Do you live in the dorms right now? Yes. I never lived in the dorms, so I don’t know a lot about dorm life. Does it ever get really crazy? I live in AZ-So, and there’s always people there, either playing sand volleyball or just hanging out. That doesn’t seem too wild. I thought it would be more like a movie. Oh well. What’s one of the wildest experiences you’ve had in college so far? I don’t think I’ve had that wild of an experience. It’s just been fun. Do you enjoy Tucson? Yeah. I enjoy it. I don’t really leave campus very often. Is there anything that you want to do in Tucson before your four years are up? I don’t really know what’s here. There’s skydiving in Eloy. Would you go skydiving? I don’t know. I kind of want to, but I’m kind of scared. What about mountain climbing? We’ve got lots of mountains. Yeah. I’ll go hiking. I heard there’s snow on Mount Lemmon right now. Do you go skiing? No. I’ve never been skiing. OK. This is what you should do. Go skydiving with skis on. Then, land at the top of Mount Lemmon and ski all the way down to campus, where you can stay and hang out with your friends. Take my advice, I’ve already done it 10 times. —Katie Gault

Space shuttle blasts off on last night flight CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Endeavour and six astronauts rocketed into orbit Monday, on what is likely the last nighttime launch for the shuttle program, hauling a new room and observation deck for the International Space Station. The space shuttle took flight before dawn, igniting the sky with a brilliant flash seen for miles around. The weather finally cooperated: Thick, low clouds that had delayed a first launch attempt Sunday returned, but then cleared away just in time.
“Looks like the weather came together tonight,” launch director Mike Leinbach told the astronauts right before liftoff. “It’s time to go fly.” “We’ll see you in a couple weeks,” replied commander George Zamka. He repeated: “It’s time to go fly.” There are just four more missions scheduled this year before the shuttles are retired. “For the last night launch, it treated us well,” Leinbach said. Endeavour’s destination — the space station, home to five men — was

Hollywood stars vie for London theater awards
LONDON — Hollywood heavyweights feature strongly in the race for Britain’s 2010 Laurence Olivier theater awards, with Rachel Weisz, Jude Law, James Earl Jones and Keira Knightley among the nominees announced Monday. Jones is shortlisted for best actor for“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,”alongside Jude Law Law for“Hamlet,”James McAvoy for “Three Days of Rain,” Mark Rylance for “Jerusalem,” Ken Stott for “A View from the Bridge” and Samuel West for “Enron.” Weisz received a best-actress nomination for her performance as faded belle Blanche Dubois in “A Streetcar Named Desire.”Her competitors are Gillian Anderson for“A Doll’s House,” Lorraine Burroughs for “The Mountaintop,” Imelda Staunton for “Entertaining Mr. Sloane” and Juliet Stevenson for“Duet for One.” “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Knightley is nominated in the supporting actress category for her turn as a manipulative movie starlet in“The Misanthrope.” Melanie Chisholm — better known as Mel C of the Spice Girls — is nominated for best actress in a musical, for“Blood Brothers.”“Mr. Bean” star Rowan Atkinson is up for best actor for playing Fagin in“Oliver!” The Olivier awards, Britain’s equivalent of Broadway’s Tonys, honor achievements in London theater, musicals, dance and opera. Sexy song-and-dance drama“Spring Awakening”received seven nominations, including best new musical. Lucy Prebble’s “Enron,” about the collapse of the Texas energy giant, and Jez Butterworth’s raucous state-of-England play “Jerusalem”lead the drama field with six nominations each, including best new play. Along with “Enron” and “Jerusalem,” the new play contenders are Katori Hall’s Martin Luther King drama “The Mountaintop” and John Logan’s “Red,” about artist Mark Rothko. The best new comedy nominees are Tim Firth’s film adaptation “Calendar Girls,” Richard Bean’s immigrant tale “England People Very Nice,” suburban saga “Parlour Song” — a second nomination for playwright Butterworth — and Michael Wynne’s party-from-hell play “The Priory.” New-musical contenders are “Spring Awakening,” “Dreamboats and Petticoats,”“Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” and“Sister Act.” The nods for “Enron” and “Jerusalem” are a coup for the small Royal Court Theatre, which gave them their first London run. Both plays have transferred to bigger West End playhouses, and“Enron” is moving to Broadway in April. The Royal Court has 15 nominations in all, followed by the Donmar Warehouse with 10 and the National Theatre with nine. — The Associated Press

ASUA announces 2010-11 candidates By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Candidates for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona executive board announced their intentions to run for ASUA’s 13 available seats on Monday. The executive vice presidential and presidential candidate spots remain unopposed, and none of the senators are running for reelection for senate seats. Emily Fritze, the current executive vice president, is running for president, and Sen. Katherine Weingartner is gunning for Fritze’s seat as executive vice president. Two candidates, Sen. Hillary Davidson and sophomore Brett Ponton, will be battling it out for the only non-senate seat in contention, administrative vice president. Seventeen students are running for the 10 open senate seats. A mandatory candidate meeting will be held tonight at 5 in the Rincon Room of the Student Union Memorial Center. Candidates will meetand-greet there before official campaigning begins Feb. 15. There are lower numbers of contenders this year, although the administrative vice president and the executive vice president spots have been unopposed in previous years, said Justine Piscitello, ASUA elections commissioner. Piscitello noted she will be having a meeting with a write-in presidential candidate, but has no

Bill forgives debt after 20 years, simplifies FAFSA
going back to taxpayers for an additional dime or increasing the national debt,� said Duncan. According to Duncan, the government will stop subsidizing banks and put money toward education. “From a policy standpoint, there is nothing better we can do than stop subsidizing banks,� said Duncan. Many students think increasing money for grants and scholarships is the right move.
“I think education is a good investment,� said undeclared sophomore Derek Miles . “Our education system is at a point now where it needs all the money it can take,� said David Okiyama, a pre-business junior. “Any additional resources being sent to education is a good thing.� The bill proposes a drop in the Income Based Repayment plan, from 15 percent to 10 percent. This would forgive remaining
debt after 20 years, and forgive the debt of people in public service careers after 10 years. If passed, the bill will also further simplify the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form. “We think the FAFSA form itself has been a huge barrier,� Duncan said. The Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act has passed the House and is awaiting a Senate vote.

They didn’t ask, but they got told about ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’
Obama announced during his State of the Union address on Jan. 27 that he plans to work to end “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the 1993 law that prohibits openly gay and lesbian Americans from serving in the military. Unfortunately, Obama’s statement was met with backlash from a few Conservatives, including Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who called the law “successful.” House Minority Leader John Boehner echoed the sentiment, saying, “I think (‘don’t ask, don’t tell’) has worked very well. And we just ought to leave it alone.” Worked very well? Seriously? Worked well for whom, exactly? We highly doubt “don’t ask, don’t tell” is working just fine for the more than 13,000 troops dishonorably discharged because of it, according to the U.S. Department of Defense … Privileged straight white men were doing just fine and dandy before abolition, integration, women’s suffrage and more — that doesn’t mean there was never a problem … why should the military pander to bigotry? Some people don’t like women, Catholics or blacks, but there’s no one making concessions to that kind of prejudice. Any GLBT person who wants to risk his or her life to serve a country that doesn’t give him or her full civil rights is to be admired. We are thankful for all soldiers, including gay and lesbian soldiers who should and hopefully will be allowed to serve with honor and without secrets. — “‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ presents another roadblock to equality,” The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Penn editorial, Feb. 5
Leaning on the Senate about student loan changes
We had high hopes when the House passed the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act in September. Right now, there are two ways to secure federal student loans. Most loans are distributed through private loan companies and are guaranteed and subsidized by the federal government. About 2,000 colleges … participate in direct lending, in which the Department of Education makes loans without an intermediary. SAFRA calls for an end to bank-based student lending and requires all institutions to move to direct lending. Simply by eliminating banks as middlemen, the bill would save $87 billion over the next 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office … Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like SAFRA is going to move forward anytime soon … the bill is stuck in the Senate’s procedural funk. Because legislators do not have the 60 votes needed to avoid a filibuster, they are hoping to pass SAFRA through the reconciliation process, which allows senators to change existing laws to reduce federal spending with a simple majority vote. The problem? The health care bill may also move through reconciliation, and under Senate rules only one bill at a time may be considered under this process. That means the student loan bill will either have to wait or become intertwined with the already imperiled health reform bill … Come on, Senators. It’s inexcusable enough that millions of Americans do not have access to an affordable college education, but it’s even more inexcusable that you are keeping it that way. — “Senate slowpokes,”The Brown Daily Herald, Feb. 6

Online comments from dailywildcat.com On ‘UA: An honorable history of divestment,’ Feb. 4
As a UA alum (2001), it makes me proud to see the continuing principled activism on campus. There was nothing happening on campus back then to support Palestinian human rights and freedom, so I’m happy to see the progress you all are making. There is nothing anti-Semitic about criticizing the Israeli government’s policies of occupation and brutal militarism. So, if you disagree with the author’s perspective, why not make an argument rather than baseless accusations? What is happening in Palestine/Israel is one of the most pressing global questions of human dignity and freedom today. The growing movement to challenge Israeli apartheid through boycott and divestment is a key strategy to getting closer to dignity and freedom. — Sonny
On ‘Students protest gun resolution,’ Feb. 4
So, since when does the second amendment end at the boundary of any campus? Imagine the outrage if free speech were limited the same way. The right to bear arms cannot be infringed on. Gun free zones DO
NOT prevent any criminal committing a crime. Perhaps when there is another shooting at a school the victims should sue the offending school for violation of their rights to defend themselves. — Colyork in Maine Have any of you noticed that when you walk into a bank you never see a sign “no firearms allowed”? It is because the bank knows it is a great deterrent to robbery when a robber never knows who may be carrying a weapon. The legitimate normal person is not a problem when it comes to guns, it is the criminal who is the problem. How many school massacres have occurred because the shooter was the only one armed? The Ft. Hood massacre happened because military personnel are not allowed to carry arms on base, so only the shooter was armed. Here is the real issue — we alone are responsible for our own safety. Period! If the university does not allow you to protect yourself, I suggest you ask them to sign an agreement that they are now fully responsible for your safety since they want to take that right away from you. The police will do their part to catch someone after you are raped or robbed or mugged or even killed, but they will not take respon-
sibility for your safety. You alone are responsible for that and don’t ever forget it or you may well suffer the consequences. Years ago when I boarded a plane all I had to do was show my concealed carry permit and inform the stewardess I was carrying a loaded handgun. She would say thanks for informing me and there never was a problem or a hijacking. Hijacking came after they no longer allowed us to defend ourselves. Can you imagine 9-11 happening if even one passenger had been armed? As the old saying goes, “When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns.” — Jim J Particularly with campus carry, there is much discussion about what’s wanted by the majority of students or faculty. But at some level — an increasingly relevant level — people will point to the fact that the right to bear defensive arms is not subject to the democratic process. The right to bear arms is not guaranteed as long as a majority approves. There are some things that are simply beyond the majority to decide, and this is one of them. That is the nature of rights.

iPad might feature a 12-percent tax, versus a one- or two-percent tax for a banana. This system would encourage the purchase of necessities over relatively useless commercial goods. This concept aligns with the purpose of “junk food” taxes enacted sporadically across the U.S. — and which Arizona is considering, according to The New York Times. Proponents hope such taxes will deter individuals, especially children, from the negative effects of eating low-priced, low-nutrition food. The tax proposed here would both carry that benefit and broaden it by making more accessible items known to procure physical, mental and emotional health. The advantages derived from this system would more than offset the costs. As generations of video game systems and Apple products have demonstrated, high price tags don’t necessarily deter people from buying expensive luxury items. And those who do would be providing an important public service. The proceeds from these purchases could be enormous, and perhaps put the UA — not to mention its sister universities — in a stage of unparalleled opulence. Admittedly, this is a highly subjective exercise, prone to the cries of “socialism” and excoriation on cable news networks. That mere fact will probably keep this type of tax from ever gaining traction on the legislative floor. Even so, when there’s clearly nothing to gain, what is there to lose? —Tom Knauer is a first-year law student. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

doesn’t plan to attend. “I think it is necessary for students to have a say,” she said. James Marrs, an electrical engineering junior said students should be able to voice their opinion, but he said he would not go to the forum because he doesn’t think students can affect what happens at the state level. Ian Cipra , a theatre arts freshman, said that it may be necessary to host a forum, but he fears it will become disorderly. “I think it could turn into chaos,” Cipra said. Members of the unofficial organization Students for the Second Amendment do plan on attending the forum. Attempts to reach any of the members were not successful by press time, but Rob Rosinski, the organization’s president, issued this statement in an e-mail: “People should have the same rights on campus as they do off campus, and anyone with a legal right to carry concealed firearms should be able to do so in the whole state of Arizona, including university settings.” Faculty members seem to be equally mixed about a possible forum. Francina Dominguez, a professor who teaches the class Introduction to Weather and Climate , has staunch feelings about not allowing guns on campus. “I feel strongly about nobody carrying guns on campus, so if there is even a possibility of it (happening), I think it’s necessary to have that discussion,” Dominguez said. Not all UA professors agree with Dominguez, at least in part. William Beezley, a Mexican history professor, said he believes the university has more pressing issues. “I think carrying guns on campus is such a violation of everything the university stands for,” he said. “It’s unnecessary and a distraction from other major problems of today.”

This sign on the corner of Park Avenue and Lowell Street is one of many notices that weapons are not allowed on campus. The signs were put up in 1996 to inform the university community of a “zero tolerance” policy toward firearms, knives, martial arts weapons and explosives.
Michael Shupe, an introductory physics professor, said he is not surprised guns are an issue in the state of Arizona, adding that he would not attend the forum either. “Any other state in the union, I think it wouldn’t matter,” Shupe said.“But because of the politics of this crazy state, I think it’s important to have a forum.” Bill Conant, a professor of atmospheric sciences, said he does not plan to go because he is too busy and that the issue is not high on his radar. He also said he doesn’t think the forum will affect the state senators or the faculty member’s decisions about guns.
“I find it curious that this is such a heated issue,” Conant said.“It’s unfathomable that faculty would see the need to bring a gun to campus.” ASUA members plan to deliberate over the comments and arguments from the forum. They will meet during their regularly scheduled weekly meeting on Wednesday to discuss passing the resolution.

Bleeding man dodges cops, gets Tasered
A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol at Euclid Avenue and Broadway Boulevard on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. when he received reports of Tucson Police Department responding to a stabbing. TPD reported the man had fled the scene, was bleeding and was armed with a knife. The UAPD officer noticed a man matching the description given by TPD walking south on Euclid Avenue between Eighth Street and Ninth Street. When the officer pulled his vehicle over, the man continued to walk away. The officer could see that the man was carrying a knife about four inches long. Additional units were called to the scene when the officer also saw the man was bleeding from his left collarbone area and stomach. The officer told the man to drop the knife and sit on the ground. The man refused, put both his hands in the pockets of his sweatshirt and continued to walk south. The officer followed the man on foot to the intersection of Euclid Avenue and Hughes Street while giving him commands to stop and sit on the ground. A TPD officer arrived to the intersection and when the man once again refused to stop, the UAPD officer used his department issued Taser on the man so he could be taken into custody. The man was placed in handcuffs and Tucson Fire Department paramedics responded to treat the man’s injuries. There was a one-half inch cut above his left collarbone and several cuts on his left elbow. The injuries were self-inflicted. The man was transported to University Medical Center for further evaluation.
Wasted Wednesday
A UAPD officer was on patrol around the intersection of First Street and Vine Avenue on Wednesday at 1:33 a.m. when he saw a woman sitting on a bench in front of the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center. The woman was not moving and appeared to be sleeping. As he got out of the patrol car to check on the welfare of the woman, she noticed him walking toward her and sat up. The woman told the officer she was fine and was talking on the phone to her friend. The officer noticed the woman’s speech was slurred and she smelled of alcohol. He asked the woman to hang up the phone and answer some questions, but she refused and continued to talk. After the third request by the officer for the woman to hang up she identified herself as a UA student. The woman told the officer she had been drinking, but that she was fine. When asked whether or not she was 21 years old she said, “I’m not from here, I don’t know what to tell you.� The woman said she had been drinking at a house in the area of Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard earlier and had just left the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at 1509 E. Second St. The woman was referred to the Dean of Students for consuming alcohol underage. Her roommate responded to the ILC to take the woman home.
Mostly mute man acts mental at ASUA
Associated Students of the University of Arizona staff members reported a disorderly man to UAPD on Wednesday at 12:10 p.m. An ASUA official reported a man that had been in the office on Feb. 2 was back and being very disruptive. The staff member said in an e-mail sent on Wednesday that a man entered the Spring Fling office and, without saying anything, walked up to the director to show her the screen to his iPod touch. He was wearing in headphones and was listening to music. The screen on the iPod had a picture of a document on it that just had random letters and initials that didn’t spell any words. He repeatedly told the woman that he lost his phone and that he needed a phone. The woman said, “OK ‌ I’ll walk you to the front desk to see if you can use that phone.â€? While the woman was walking the man to the front desk he started banging on the walls and doors in the hallway without saying anything. When they reached the front desk, the man stood in silence for about 30 seconds and then walked out of the office. The woman reported also seeing the man twice the day before in the office looking for another man. He claimed he spoke with the other man the week before. The woman said there was no one in the office by the name given. The officer advised the staff that if the man was to return, to call UAPD immediately and not to talk to the man so that he won’t become argumentative or violent.

A UAPD officer responded to the area of Campbell Avenue and Third Street on Thursday at 12:36 p.m. in reference to a man and woman fighting near the UA pool. The man and woman, who claimed to be boyfriend and girlfriend, were separated and questioned. The man said he was very upset and wanted to leave. A records check of the man showed he had a TPD warrant for possession of marijuana. The man was handcuffed and said the two of them were having an argument and that was it. The officer asked the man if he had any weapons on him, and he told the officer there was a smoking pipe in his front pocket. The officer found a blue glass smoking pipe in his pocket with burnt marijuana residue on it. After the warrant was confirmed, the man was placed under arrest for the warrant and possession of drug paraphernalia. The man was taken to Pima County Jail and booked. The pipe was placed into evidence at UAPD.

Sanctions demystified
Update on the ongoing investigation within Arizona hoops By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Stemming from former head coach Lute Olson’s alleged NCAA recruiting violations in 2008, the UA announced that it will self-impose sanctions on the men’s basketball team Friday. Although officials cannot comment on the ongoing investigation, the Arizona Daily Wildcat obtained documents that explained the NCAA accusations along
with the university’s response after its internal investigation. According to the documents, the event that began the investigation involved a letter Olson later said was electronically signed. The letter was sent to about 20 members of the Rebounders, an athletic booster club, around March 28, 2008. It asked for financial support for the Arizona Cactus Classic, an Amateur Athletic Union basketball tournament held on May 9-11, 2008. Questions were
raised because coaches are not allowed to promote funding for potential recruits. The letter directed the members to contact event director Jim Storey, an entrepreneur and former publisher of the recruiting Web site GOAZCATS.com, if they wanted to give donations for the tournament. Storey resigned his publishing duties of GOAZCATS.com to current publisher VIOLATIONS, page 10

If anybody took control of the Pac-10 this weekend, it was Quincy Pondexter. The Huskies forward earned his fourth Pac-10 Player of the Week honor this season after dropping 30 points against Arizona. Pondexter is now a clear-cut favorite for conference Player of the Year.

Arizona (12-11 6-5)
Sports wrtier
Reality check. The Wildcats spent a total of one week in first place before suffering a foul-heavy loss to the Huskies and ensuing hangover to the Cougars. Expect Sean Miller to put every starting position up for grabs this week in practice. Why not Alex Jacobson?
f the self-imposed punishments withstand the NCAA review, the Arizona men’s basketball program won’t miss a bounce. Recruits won’t care. Neither will season ticket holders. Neither will you. The UA wants to earn forgiveness by giving up one scholarship and a little recruiting time for pushing its limits way too far. Those preemptive self-sanctions are supposed to serve as punishment for financially aiding prospective recruits. Lute Olson asked the Rebounders club — a group of UA boosters now disbanded — for monetary donations to fund an AAU tournament held in McKale Center. The Arizona Cactus Classic tournament, hosted in McKale Center from 2006 to 2008, received some of the $197,000 UA boosters donated to the event’s director Jim Storey, an entrepreneur who was, at the time, a publisher of popular fan site GOAZCATS.com. The Web site primarily covers recruiting news and holds a database of information on prospective recruits. Arizona Daily Star scribe Greg Hansen wrote Sunday that the UA basketball program integrated Storey as a powerful part of recruiting. The 150-page report detailing the allegations and the university’s investigation, obtained by the Daily Wildcat Monday, says“over several years, Storey also developed relationships with members of the men’s basketball staff at the university, including the then-head and assistant coaches.” In turn, Storey received many scoops and inside access to breaking news over the past two seasons. The university acknowledges that Storey “was involved in promoting the ROY, page 10

USC (14-9, 6-5)
Pesky. Streaky. Inconsistent. Sounds like the 2007-08 Wildcats under coach Kevin O’Neill. It’s no wonder the Trojans continue to tread water, especially after sweeping the Bay Area schools this weekend.

Arizona State (16-8, 6-5)
It doesn’t feel like the Sun Devils really left Washington with a sense of accomplishment. Splitting the Cougars and Huskies should be considered on par in conference play, but not after the 79-56 loss on Saturday to Washington that should leave a sour taste throughout the week.

ARIZONA BASEBALL NOTES
What we learned from Red-Blue By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Judging by Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez’s comments following last Saturday’s Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage — “Nobody got hurt,” Lopez said with a laugh — it is clear that there isn’t all too much to take from a glorified practice. But this was the first time that the UA baseball team flashed the leather and showcased the lumber — or in this case aluminum — in front of a public audience. There were certainly a few developments from the weekend worthy of note, most significantly coming from the pitching staff.
Pitching staff under the radar

With only two returning starting pitchers in the rotation, the pitching staff was one of the biggest question marks heading into this season. But if Saturday’s scrimmage was any indication, the Wildcats will surprise some people on the hill. Sophomore starter Kyle Simon took the mound first for the Blue squad, and proved to have No. 1 stuff. Simon finished last season with a 3-5 record and a 6.03 earned run average in 74.2 innings pitched. “On paper, he should be,” Lopez said of Simon being the team’s Friday-night starter. “(Kurt) Heyer is pretty good as a freshman. You’d rather have an older guy, a guy who’s been through the Pac-10 and has had some experience. Kyle (Simon) should be that guy and hopefully he’ll continue to.” The Wildcats have two solid pitchers at the top in Simon and redshirt junior Daniel Workman — who didn’t pitch Saturday — but their depth full of freshman hurlers has been a nice surprise. Heyer started for the Red team on Saturday and proved to have the ability to land a spot in the rotation. “Hopefully, I’d like to be one of the starters,” Heyer said. “I’ve been trying for that spot the last few months.” If Saturday was a realistic indication, Heyer should earn a rotation spot before it’s all said and done. The biggest surprise of the day came from 6-foot-9 freshman pitcher Augey Bill — also known as “The Big Unit” and “Big Bird” to his coaches and teammates. Not only did he retire
Cleveland Indian Jordan Brown, but he also showed flashes of what his smooth delivery and lanky frame can translate into. Lopez said Bill has improved every single day and he sees him as a potential factor in the rotation this season. “Jordan and I were talking about it,” Lopez said. “He asked me the same thing, he goes, ‘I expected him to throw a little bit harder.’ I said, ‘I hope in time he’ll fill out the 6-8 frame and he will be throwing 100 like a Ryan Perry.’” Although the staff only returns two starting pitchers and six total pitchers, the depth and talent is there to be a major surprise for the Wildcats. “I think we’re going to surprise a lot of people. We have a really young and really talented pitching staff,” Bill said. “We’re going to come out and throw a lot of low-scoring games, and it’s going to be a good season.”
Position changes a success
Before the season there was speculation that last year’s shortstop and one of Arizona’s best defensive players, junior Bryce Ortega , would make the shift to second base with freshmen shortstop Alex Mejia coming in. As expected, Ortega — who hit .324 in a team-high 54 games last season — was slated at second base on Saturday for the Red team, with Mejia roaming short. Mejia, highly regarded as a defensive shortstop, made some impressive plays in the field. He didn’t look like he possessed the blazing speed prototypical of a shortstop, but his glove-work certainly makes up for it. Sophomore Jett Bandy, a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American as a third baseman last year, made the return to his natural position of catcher. Bandy looked good behind the plate, hosing a couple of runners on the base paths. Bandy’s 6-foot-4, 209-pound frame should help the Wildcats defensively in regards to opponents attempting to steal. Bandy also laced a double off of the wall in Saturday’s contest.

Sanctions won’t stifle UA’s future
institution’s athletics program.” What a two years to have that access to breaking news. “The dissolution of a once-great basketball family took place for the simplest reasons: greed and the hunger for more,”Hansen wrote, explaining how impactful Storey’s resources became to the program. Sounds like a typical college basketball program weaving a loophole into the NCAA rules. Instead, Olson got caught. Punishment? One scholarship in 2011-12. Someone is bound to transfer by then. The rest don’t even notice. Another punishment? Two years probation. Strikes one and two. Don’t screw up again. Asked if he thought the sanctions would affect recruiting, first-year UA head coach Sean Miller said“No, not really,”to reporters in Seattle on Thursday night. Miller has been made well aware of the ongoing investigations of the infractions originally self-reported in 2008, even before he took the job. It’s obvious that Miller, already spearheading a challenging rebuilding process without sanctions, believed that he could still do his job regardless of what unfolded. Or else he wouldn’t have taken it. He almost didn’t in the first place. Often, when an institution both selfreports and self-issues sanctions, the punishment can be much less severe than if the NCAA did so itself. The USC men’s basketball team issued a ban on postseason play this season after determining that OJ Mayo received improper benefits during his one season as a Trojan. USC also vacated that season’s wins. Since the sanctions were announced
PRE-lEASINg 3BD/2BA. Close to UofA, &Pima, large fenced backyard, (recently updated). $1050/mo +$1050 deposit. Available 6/10. 909-4089
mid-season and effective for this postseason, they did not affect immediate recruiting for Kevin O’Neill, who took the job anticipating a punishment for Tim Floyd’s missteps. If the NCAA decides to add to the UA’s sanctions and issue a postseason ban on the 2011 NCAA Tournament when President Robert Shelton meets with a committee in April, who knows if that could stunt long-term growth of the program — never mind the obvious end to the UA’s coveted streak of 25 consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Additional punishment should not be the case. Vacating wins is an empty, cop-out punishment that the NCAA, for some reason, thinks erases history. Think Michigan fans forgot Chris Webber’s run to the 1992 Final Four? Or when UMass magically threw away its Final Four because of Marcus Camby? Or Memphis after Derrick Rose? Most AAU teams — the real cash cows and shady businesses — cover most travel and lodging costs for their players. They’re powered by big shoe companies — tainting the players before they even reach the college level. The Cactus Classic’s biggest asset came from its intangibles: The nation’s best high school players spent an entire weekend roaming the halls of McKale Center, using campus facilities and wowing over the beautiful weather and women. The program technically couldn’t recruit during that time period, but the visit itself spoke well enough. Just another speed camera catching someone going 75 in a 65 mph zone. — Bryan Roy is an interdisciplinary studies junior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu

Olson denied knowledge of letter
Josh Gershon on April 17, 2009, to “focus on other business endeavors.” Olson denied knowledge of the letter. While he was involved in an initial writing of the letter — he helped draft it with his secretary, who later wrote, over the phone — NCAA Bylaw 10.1 says the violator must “knowingly” give false or misleading information. The university said it does not feel Olson knowingly sent a letter that went against NCAA regulation. After writing the letter, Olson’s secretary, Monica Armenta, who is now deceased, sent the letter to director of basketball operations Matt Brase because Olson wasn’t available, and Brase made a few edits. Brase, Olson’s grandson, also showed the letter to Storey, who told Brase the letter was fine. Brase then returned it to Armenta to be sent. On April 10, 2008, associate athletic director Scott MacKenzie told associate athletic director for compliance Bill Morgan of the letter, concerned over possible violations. Morgan met with Olson twice, on April 16, 2008, and again on April 23, 2008. Each time Olson said he had no knowledge of the letter. Olson also never read a draft of the letter, his secretary told investigators. Taking Morgan’s advice, Olson then wrote a retraction letter and sent it to the members who had received the original letter. During this time, he also confronted Armenta, among others in the athletic department, asking about the letter and consistently maintained that he did not sign it. At the time, Olson was also suffering from the effects of a stroke, which the university said could have hurt his decision making. After the UA had knowledge of the letter, it asked Storey not to accept donations prompted by the letter, and Storey told investigators he did not. Though some members of the Rebounders club gave money to Storey, the university statement said there was no proof it was directly because of the letter they received and thus, not against NCAA rules.

• Olson attended a Rebounders board meeting on April 15, 2008, one day before Morgan met with him to first discuss the problematic letter. At the meeting, which was “special” and not scheduled — thus unknown to Morgan and MacKenzie — Olson called for the members to raise money for Storey’s Cactus
Classic. Storey followed Olson with a short presentation. Former interim head coach Kevin O’Neill also said Olson asked for boosters’ support at an October 2007 Rebounders board meeting. The fact that Storey often solicited and raised funds to support his events was not a violation of any NCAA rules, but it was the fact that Storey used money — $197,000 was raised by the Rebounders through three Cactus Classics and one McKale Center high school game sponsored by Storey’s GOAZCATS.com — that was raised with some assistance from Olson. • Furthermore, the NCAA alleges that Olson arranged for two incoming assistant coaches to be present at the 2008 Arizona Cactus Classic during May 9-11, 2008. The assistant coaches, Mike Dunlap and Russ Pennell, spent time observing games during the event. The university agrees that both Dunlap and Pennell were present at the Cactus Classic in 2008, but that they were there “during a ‘quiet period’ in the men’s basketball recruiting calendar” when it was prohibited to evaluate talent. But the university believes there is not enough evidence to show that Olson “arranged” for the coaches to be present at the event. It does, however, acknowledge that violations of NCAA Bylaws occurred based on the explanations of the date that the “incoming assistants effectively became the responsibility of the University.” According to a discussion between interim athletics director Kathleen “Rocky” LaRose and Olson, the head coach said the visits of the incoming coaches to the campus were unrelated to the 2008 Cactus Classic. The university said the violations that did occur were minimal. • Another allegation was that that former UA assistant coach Jim Rosborough overheard Storey and two UA assistants coaches regarding which teams or players would be at the 2006 Cactus Classic. The UA said that allegation could not be confirmed because, while Storey often talked with assistant coaches, it was not clearly heard by Rosborough. In his interview with investigators, Storey said he made all of his own decisions in choosing whom to invite. Former assistant coaches Josh Pastner and Miles Simon both told investigators they hadn’t specifically instructed Storey to invite certain players.

happens if I’m caught Q What on campus with alcohol? It depends… 1) on your age and 2) who caught you. If you’re under 21 and caught with alcohol in the residence hall by an RA, you will A. be sanctioned by your community director to complete an alcohol education
class for violating Residence Hall Community Standards and the UA Code of Conduct. You will also be sanctioned to community service hours, a letter will be sent to your parents, and you will be placed on Deferred Eviction. If you accrue more violations, you can be evicted and forfeit your rent for the rest of the semester. If you miss your sanction deadline, Res Life will refer your case to the Dean of Students Office for more sanctioning. If you are under 21 and cited by a UAPD officer, you will be referred to the Dean’s Office. They provide a diversion program for first time misdemeanor cases for the city or county court system that allows you to avoid court. Your sanctions will include a fine, community service hours, a period of disciplinary probation and an alcohol education class. If under 21, the Dean’s Office will also inform your parents of your violation. If you have already been offered the Diversion program through the Dean’s Office, you will be sanctioned for a violation of the Student Code of Conduct AND will also have to go to court. If you fail to complete your diversion sanctions by the given deadline, the Dean’s Office will place a hold on your record. This prevents you from registering for classes, dropping/adding classes, receiving grades or graduating from the UA. Then, your case is referred back to the court system for further prosecution. Whether in the residence hall or anywhere else on campus, if it’s determined that you need medical assistance based upon alcohol consumption (i.e., possible alcohol poisoning), paramedics are called to assess the situation and possibly transport you to University Medical Center (where you incur additional medical costs). Campus Health provides classes for students needing to complete an alcohol education program. The Student Code of Conduct can be found at www.deanofstudents.arizona.edu and the Residence Life Community Living Guide is at www.life.arizona.edu.
59% of UA students say they usually party less than once per week. (2009 Health & Wellness Survey, N=1,720)

CA teacher accused of religion lessons

Brother Matt, a Neosho, Mo., resident, was on the UA Mall on Monday representing the Consuming Fire Campus Ministries group. His presence inspired varying emotions among the passers by, which instigated a visit from University of Arizona Police Department.
Ohio strip club hosts ‘Lap dances for Haiti’ The Associated Press TOLEDO, Ohio — A strip club in Ohio raised $1,000 for Haitian earthquake relief during what was billed as “Lap dances for Haiti.” Marilyn’s On Monroe in Toledo donated the $10 cover charges
collected Saturday to ISOH/ IMPACT, an organization based in suburban Perrysburg that provides food and clothing for Haiti. Marilyn’s general manager Kenny Soprano says his establishment had been looking for a reason to hold a charity fundraiser even before the quake, as
a way to improve its image. He says you don’t hear much about strip clubs giving back to the community. ISOH/IMPACT CEO Linda Greene doesn’t have a problem with where the money came from. She says her group appreciates any donations to help Haiti.
SAN FRANCISCO — An instructor at a public community college in Fresno has been improperly presenting his religious views on homosexuality, abortion and global warming as fact to students in an introductory health science class, the American Civil Liberties Union alleged Monday. ACLU staff attorney Elizabeth Gill said at least two students at Fresno City College have complained that instructor Bradley Lopez quoted the Bible as proof that human life begins at conception, characterized homosexuality as a mental illness and discussed apocalyptic Christian prophesies during a lesson on climate change. If the students’ descriptions are correct, Lopez’s teaching methods would violate California laws protecting gays from discrimination and prohibiting religious indoctrination at public schools, Gill said. She sent a letter to college president Cynthia Azaria on Monday asking the school“to act immediately to ensure that all its health classes provide only accurate and unbiased information.” A telephone call and e-mail to Lopez and a telephone call to a college spokeswoman were not immediately returned. Lopez is one of several Fresno City College instructors who teach the Health Science I course, which the college catalog describes as a survey of “contemporary science concepts and medical information designed to promote health.” Topics covered in the course include sexuality, nutrition, substance abuse, physical fitness and heredity. “Someone should realize you can’t have a class like this presenting deeply
held, and I’m sure honestly held, religious views as science,” Gill said. “This is not a situation where people are taking a seminar on religion. Folks taking this class think they are getting Health Basics 101.” Jacqueline Mahaffey, 24, who had Lopez as a teacher last semester, said his personal beliefs became apparent on the first day of class when he made a point of contradicting their textbook, which listed cancer as the leading cause of death. Lopez told the class that abortions killed more people than cancer. During the second week, Lopez allegedly gave the students a genetics assignment that involved studying the Bible to research Jesus Christ’s biological makeup. He also told students that “evolution is a dead theory” and invited them to visit him in his office“if you want to know about your creator.” Mahaffey said she and another student filed complaints with Lopez’s dean about halfway through the semester following a lecture in which he said that sexual behavior involving less than five percent of the population should be classified as a mental disorder and that homosexuality “degrades” society. “He (Lopez) sent a letter back to me denying he had ever said any of those things,” Mahaffey said.“He said he never posted information about his religious status or position on homosexuals or anything like that, which struck me as a flagrant lie.” Mahaffey said she nonetheless stayed in the class and earned an A. Gill said that as a college instructor, Lopez is free to express his opinions but that because Fresno City College is publicly funded, his teaching cannot become “religious inculcation.”
