UA Department of Spanish and Portuguese will gather in front of Administration
By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Students who have become accustomed to the quirks of Student Link will need to make a major readjustment to the way they register for classes. In 2008, the Arizona Board of Regents approved funding for the UA’s Mosaic Project, a computer administrative replacement program designed to overhaul and update the old system to run more efficiently. After Spring Break, students will use UAccess, not Student Link, to register for classes. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona invited Tom Bourgeois, student administration system co-director, to give a presentation on the university’s new computer administrative system during tonight’s meeting. The ASUA meeting will take place in the Ventana Room of the Student Union Memorial Center at 5 p.m. Sen. Tyler Quillin, who sits on the Information Technology Student Advisory Board, is sponsoring the presentation. He said that although it might be difficult to acclimate to the new system, it will provide more capabilities to students. “Getting people to buy into a new system this late in the game is (going to be) difficult for us juniors,”Quillin said. The presentation will highlight the system’s administrative changes and help students prepare for the new system. UAccess is said to offer more options for wait-listed classes and other new advancements that should make the registering process easier for students, according to Quillin. “This is what is happening on campus, and this is what you’re going to be using to register for classes in two weeks. It’s a more complex and intelligent system,” he said. Quillin is also sponsoring a presentation by ASUA President Chris Nagata. Nagata will present the senators with his formal tuition proposal, which he plans to send to the regents before the ABOR meeting scheduled for later this week. Nagata was unable to be reached by press time about the details of his formal proposal. The regents will meet this Thursday and Friday to vote on whether to increase tuition for the upcoming school year. Sen. James Brooks will once again provide the other senators with a preview of the consent agenda. This week, more than 15 clubs and organizations requested funds, including the Filipino American Student Association, the University Filmmakers Organization, the National Art Education Association and many others. In total, these clubs and organizations requested $38,699.36. The Appropriations Board awarded $10,878.60.

Campaigning heats up By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Students are casting votes in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona general elections, which began Tuesday morning. There are three campus polling stations: at the Student Recreation Center, the Student Union Memorial Center and the Eller College of Management. Students can also vote online. ASUA candidates and commissioners alike tried to spur apathetic students and get the word out to vote. “When people walk by — shrug it off, say they’ll do it later — they should know it does have an effect on campus,” said Molly Lampert, part of the ASUA elections commission. Lampert expressed the importance of voting and noted that convenient polling places could encourage student voters. “Sometimes it’s swamped with people,” she said of the booth as she was heading outside the Student Union Memorial Center. Candidates also pounded the pavement on the UA Mall to do some last-minute campaigning before people went to the polls. “It’s the nature of elections,” said Chad Travis, a pre-business freshman and ASUA senatorial candidate. “Voters are going to be apathetic.

The bulletin board on North Campus Drive is covered with campaign flyers.
You just have to appeal to them.” Jeff Adams, also a pre-business freshman and ASUA senatorial candidate, reaffirmed Travis’ thoughts. “(Campaigning) has been going good,” said Adams. “It’s really cool getting to educate people on the importance of student government and being active in their school because ASUA actually has a lot more influence
than I think a lot of people realize.”
Vote online at asua.arizona.edu or at any of three polling stations through 8 tonight. Final results will be revealed at the results election show tonight at 8:30 in the Kiva Room of the SUMC.

A group of graduate teaching assistants from the UA Department of Spanish and Portuguese are putting on a peaceful protest tonight from 7 to 9 in front of the Administration building to show their opposition to a proposed fee increase of $700 for the fall 2010 semester. Wasilia Yapur, a teaching assistant in the Spanish department, said she finds the increase upsetting because teaching assistants barely survive on the money they make, and an extra $700 constitutes almost one month’s pay. “This is extremely aggressive and is something most graduate students can’t pay,”Yapur said. Some students may need to take loans in order to pay for such a fee increase. Yapur said many teaching assistants in her department are international and cannot take out loans. “Our classes have gone from 20 students to close to 30 students in the last few years, and we’ve been silently putting up with an ever-increasing amount of work because, of course, we knew this would be the life of a teaching assistant,”Yapur said. Some students fear that they may have to discontinue their education because they cannot afford to pay for school. “If the point of the fees is to make this a world-class university, then the distribution of the money is not in the right places,” said Alejandrina Barajas, a graduate teaching assistant. Barajas said that it’s important to understand where the money from the increased fees is really going and if it’s going towards making education better. “Like the (Student Recreation) Center — not everyone uses the Rec Center, so does everyone really need to be paying for it?”Barajas asked. Increased fees may put education out of reach for some and turn it into a privilege rather than a right, Barajas said. “We have to think in terms of who loves the university.”Yapur said. “Is it only going to be the undergraduate and graduate students who are the poorest of the poor?” Yapur said the university will not benefit from losing teaching assistants, adding that each teaches up to 50 students a semester. Hundreds of students would be left without classes. Protestors are encouraging everyone to wear a white shirt and dark pants but especially white because the protest is peaceful. There will be no signs or shouting, just prayer, meditation and silence. “We’re trying to get as many people as possible who don’t want to see this tremendous increase and see students start to fall out because they can’t pay,”Yapur said. The group hopes to affect UA VIGIL, page A3

12 centuries-old shipwrecks found in Baltic Sea STOCKHOLM — A dozen centuriesold shipwrecks — some of them unusually well-preserved — have been found in the Baltic Sea by a gas company building an underwater pipeline between Russia and Germany. The oldest wreck probably dates back to medieval times and could be up to 800 years old, while the others are likely from the 17th to 19th centuries, Peter Norman of Sweden’s National Heritage Board said Tuesday. “They could be interesting, but we have only seen pictures of their exterior.
Many of them are considered to be fully intact. They look very well-preserved,” Norman told The Associated Press. Thousands of wrecks — from medieval ships to warships sunk during the world wars of the 20th century — have been found in the Baltic Sea, which doesn’t have the ship worm that destroys wooden wrecks in saltier oceans. The latest discovery was made during a search of the seabed east of the Swedish island of Gotland by the Nord Stream consortium, which is building a
750-mile pipeline in the Baltic Sea. The 12 wrecks were found in a 30-mile-long and 2-mile-wide corridor, Nord Stream spokeswoman Tora Leifland Holmstrom said. The heritage board said three of the wrecks have intact hulls and are lying upside-down at a depth of 430 feet. Swedish marine archaeology experts analyzed pictures of the wrecks and determined that they could be of a high historic value. —The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Annie Leibovitz, the photographer who mismanaged her fortune so badly that she faced losing legal rights to some of pop culture’s most enduring images, has reached a longterm agreement with a private investment firm to help manage her debt and market her vast portfolio, both sides said Tuesday. Leibovitz, 60, will retain total control of her multimillion-dollar portfolio under the deal she signed with Colony Capital LLC of Santa Monica, Calif., on Monday, said Richard Nanula, a principal with the firm. Under the agreement, Colony will become the photographer’s sole creditor and help market her archive of such provocative images as a nude John Lennon cuddling with a clothed Yoko Ono hours before his death, as well as a nude and very pregnant Demi Moore. Leibovitz obtained an extension last year to repay a $24 million loan to a Manhattan firm, Art Capital Group, in a Annie Lebovitz financial dispute that had threatened her rights to those images and others. The specific terms of the new deal were not disclosed, but Nanula said“it pays off all the Art Capital loan. … It cleans up the rest of her balance sheet.” The Colony loan also contains more than $20 million of real estate collateral, Nanula added — Leibovitz’s three Manhattan town houses. The Art Capital loan was repaid Monday, he said. Art Capital confirmed the repayment and said in a statement that it“is pleased to announce that its loan to Annie Leibovitz has been satisfied. We are encouraged by the results of this complex transaction and wish Ms. Leibovitz the best in all of her future endeavors.” “It’s long-term in nature,” Nanula said of the partnership with Leibovitz.“Our interest is in helping her be successful and to be her financial partner.” “Colony is a dedicated and creative team,” Leibovitz said in a statement. “We will be working on new projects, and I will have the support and freedom necessary for nurturing my work and preserving my archive.” “Colony Capital, LLC has formed a new partnership with Annie Leibovitz, one of world’s greatest portrait photographers,” the firm said in a statement.“We are delighted to be able to do that here by partnering with Ms. Leibovitz in a business relationship that allows her to continue to flourish as an artist while together we seek opportunities to enhance the value of the magnificent body of work she has created over the past 40 years.” Those opportunities, Nanula said, could involve traveling exhibitions of Leibovitz’s works, books and fine-art copies of her photographs. —The Associated Press

Univision comes to UA
CAMPUS BUZZ
By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat
The “Es El Momento” campaign (which translates to “The Moment is Now”) launched Feb. 23, in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education and other national community-based education and civil rights groups. Univision broadcast live from the UA campus for the first time to promote campus academics and extracurricular activities. In previous years, there were pre-recorded interviews with on-campus figures, but this year during the three-day broadcast, viewers could call in and speak to interviewees over the phone during the live broadcasts from 5 to 5:30 p.m. or from 10 to 10:30 p.m.. Viewers can call representatives from the Office of Equity, Access and Inclusion and the Office of Student Financial Aid with questions about the university. The Univision network is the most-watched Spanish-language broadcast television network in the United States, reaching 95 percent of American Hispanic households. In partnership with Arizona Student Media, Univision used the KUAT studios three days in late February for a statewide newscast, which was ranked first among broadcasts in the Phoenix metropolitan area, regardless of language. “(Univision) really wanted to be on campus … to tell their viewers that they are here (in Tucson),” said Rebecca Ruiz-McGill, manager of

Group hopes to hold peaceful protest
President Robert Shelton’s final decision on the fee increase, which will be decided on by the Arizona Board of Regents this Thursday. “They should be cutting (expenses) across the board … everybody should get a pay cut, and that would be fair,” Yapur said. The group has sent out invitations to graduate and undergraduate students, professors and the Tucson community. “There are many other solutions that we could come up with, but this is one of the poorest,”Yapur said.“It is placing the economic burden on the people who are already facing it and getting by as best they can.”

The group attended Shelton’s address in Phoenix and voiced their concerns there. They’ve also met directly with Shelton and the Dean of Students and sent letters to each of them. “Since we’ve already spoken all the words that we need to speak, we’re trying to send our meditation and prayer to President Shelton the night before the decision,”Yapur said. “We’re hoping this may affect a change within him. It’s something else that we can do, so why not do it?” Yapur said she thinks at least 50 people should be in attendance but, noting that many students oppose the fee increase, hopes for many more.
media relations for UA University Communications. Ruiz-McGill, who worked with another Univision station located in Chicago before taking a media relations job at the UA, helped the University form a relationship with Univision’s Phoenix affiliate. Although the telethon has been going for three years, this year’s telecast marked Univision’s first of a new national Univision campaign. Catalina Carlos, who works with the UA Admissions Office and acts as an adviser for the Office of Equity, Access and Inclusion, worked with students, answering phones and facilitating the Univision broadcasts. “We are still returning phone calls,” said Carlos of her ninestudent team. Carlos has worked with the Office of Equity, Access and Inclusion to relay knowledge to first generation and low-income students. She noted most of the questions from the broadcast were about financial aid, a major topic in a community hit hard by the recession, with an unemployment rate exceeding 12 percent. “We want (families) to know that we do value them, and we do have different things to offer at this university,” Carlos said. “The most important part, I think, in why we are doing this is to get this information to the students in their own language.” Ruiz-McGill also considers the expansion of the UA’s brand into diverse markets important.
“In the end, the UA is a global campus; It is open to people all over the world,” she said. This year, the live broadcasts from the UA involved three Univision anchors in partnership with Univision’s “33 A Su Lado” (“Channel 33 On Your Side”) initiative to promote higher learning opportunities to Spanishspeaking students. Univision anchors provide a language bridge for university news to reach Spanish-speaking populations. Mary Rabago, a Univision news anchor, was one of three Univision reporters who came down for the live broadcasts. “Overall, it was a wonderful experience. All the students working in the studio were wonderful. Rebecca (Ruiz-McGill) was a key element in making it happen. It was wonderful,” said Rabago. “It was great to get out of the environment here and do something different.” Rabago said all the students “made the Univision team feel like family,” which made the experience one worth repeating. Univision said it was planning further and more frequent involvement with the UA, which Rabago said was a great idea. “As a team, Univision is really excited to pursue more projects like this in the future,” she said. “The telethon is every year, but there is some discussion that them broadcasting live from campus will happen quarterly, so we’re crossing our fingers,” Rabago added.

Distorting facts is wrong T
ruth has become a little fragmented these days. The best explanations, the ones closest to truth are the ones that best account for all available facts. But recently it has been drawn into sharp focus that the ideological battles of our time are not being fought between competing explanations. They’re being fought between competing truths. It’s probably always been true that some participants in an intellectual debate invent their own facts to prop up their arguments, then simply deny those which are inconvenient. But it’s no longer an extremist strategy. Journalism, once considered a high authority to deliver unbiased truth, has largely fragmented into camps, each tailoring its truths to the relevant Ben Harper demographic.Unsurprisingly, this Columnist battle has bled into academia. Scientific and sociological claims are required to demonstrate more than an effective explanation of the facts at hand to be“true.”They must also be politically neutral. Any possible political implication, right, left or otherwise, and the hapless researchers involved will be instantly labeled Trotskyites, Fascists, bastards or shills. But some of our knowledge is reasonably ceratin. Despite its many flaws, the educational system has done a pretty good job of propagating the truth as we know it, or at least as we knew it the last time the school system could afford textbooks. So those who want ideologically-appropriate truths have gone elsewhere. According to a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle, 83 percent of parents who home-school their children do so in order to provide their children with“religious or moral instruction.”Their main objection to organized schooling probably won’t surprise you.“Most home-schoolers will definitely have a sort of creationist component to their home-school program,”the Chronicle quotes Ian Slatter, a spokesman for the Home School Legal Defense Association. Darwin, as ever, is on trial — not because his theory pales in comparison to a rival explanation, but because it is found politically and religiously unpalatable. Home-schoolers adhering to this curriculum have no shortage of textbooks that teach their truths, which“dominates a growing homeschool market.”Writes the Chronicle:“‘Those who do not believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God will find many points in this book puzzling,’says the introduction to“Biology: Third Edition” from Bob Jones University Press.‘This book was not written for them.’” According to the textbook“History of Life,”a“Christian worldview … is the only correct view of reality; anyone who rejects it will not only fail to reach heaven but also fail to see the world as it truly is.” This is not a simple disagreement about which explanation is correct. This is a grenade lobbed into rationality’s window, an assault on one of the basic principles of logic — that the right conclusions care those which follow from their premises. To the fanatic, no amount of evidence, however contrary, is enough to upset their prearranged conclusion, and no amount of confirmation can justify the positions of their ideological enemies. —Ben Harper is a philosophy senior. He can be reahced at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.
Sexual identity does not fit in a box
A
t Dartmouth and the University of Pennsylvania, college admissions officers are starting a movement to recruit students based on sexual orientation. Though they have previously done so only by information provided by applicants in their personal essays and group involvement, the schools are considering adding a category on their application that would allow students to list their sexual orientation. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, one group is petitioning for a similar field to be added to the Common Application. Anna Swenson Gay, lesbian, bisexual and Opinions editor transgendered college applicants should get all the support they need to feel welcome, valued and given due consideration by schools to which they apply. But adding a simple check-box to determine whether students are“gay”or“not” overly simplifies and belittles a very personal choice. In the increasingly competitive college market, eager applicants might identify as homosexual in order to seem more desirable to top schools. Though no one should ever have to prove their sexual identification, allowing students to exploit this choice because it makes them seem interesting is harmful to those students who really are gay. Questioning one’s sexual orientation is a subtle and often difficult journey, one that should not be reduced to a box so susceptible to exploitation. Many students may still be questioning their sexually at the age at which they apply for college, so a box that asks applicants“Are you gay?”may be more problematic than“Do you live in Arizona?” Colleges should strongly consider admitting a student based on their compelling personal essay on being a lesbian at the debutante ball. But applications officers should not consider a student that checks that box preferentially to a student who does not, especially as it will be optional. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning students should be welcomed to apply for schools and receive the same consideration as any other students. Their sexual orientation might help them qualify for scholarships and financial aid, but it should not factor into the admittance policy. What LGBTQ students and their allies are striving for is equality. Everyone should be treated the same, and should be considered as potential student the same. LGBTQ students should be commended for their work with organizations that promote gay rights, and should be proud to list such activities on college applications. Colleges should and do consider a students’passions when considering whether to admit a student, and activism is a factor in that consideration. Adding this identifier to the Common Application and advertising its significance at schools like Dartmouth and Penn makes what is, for many, a very personal choice into a very impersonal distinction. —Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English.

MAILBAG Letters to the editor
Not really, but still funny
Dear my (Future) Consituents, I am writing today to announce my candidacy for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona student body president. If elected to ASUA, my promise to you is to dissolve the ASUA. How will I do that you ask? Well, what a shrewd question! I pledge to work toward that goal by doing absolutely nothing, significantly better than getting bailed out by the bookstore for years to come. And what if I’m lying, you ask? Well, as a graduating student, I am in absolutely no position to run or take office, and, to top it off, I have absolutely no interest in it! It doesn’t get much better than that. Based on how much I’m sure everyone cares about ASUA, I’d wager that 30 votes ought to do the trick. So get to it! (please). So, to sum up our conversation: Vote for me. — Jason Dittmann Astronomy senior
Spring Break: slippery slope (in more ways than one)
As much as I would like to agree with Tom Knauer’s idea on the whole “extra day for travel” bit, it’s most likely a bad a idea. I mean, I do want another day to enjoy my Spring Break. But see, eventually, that’s what the “travel day” Friday will become. Students will think,“Wow no classes that Friday? Another day for Spring Break.”And they’ll decide to get a flight for Thursay instead of Friday. Then, your argument will resurface once again, and the same cycle will occur. Think of it in terms of speed limits. Many officers will not pull over a driver if the driver is going 80 in a 75 zone. So one would argue, “Why not just raise the speed limit to 80?” because then the speeder in question will go 85, and the officer won’t pull them over because the new speed limit is 80. So then someone else may argue, “Why not just raise the speed limit to 85?” … Do you see where this leads? In regards to professors and their supposed grudges, yes, some professors — or teaching assistants — may schedule some pop quiz or maybe a midterm that Friday before Spring Break. However, we, as students, have no say in what they choose to schedule, because, as students, we have responsibilities to be on campus and in class. Professors and TAs have that option to schedule an exam or whatever because, whether they schedule an exam or not, we students are adults, and class is a responsibility. If college is really important to us, then a one week break is not worth missing out on class. —William Breceda Cooper Undecided freshman
Comments from dailywildcat.com On ‘Mailbag,’ March 8
My thanks to the editors of the Arizona Daily Wildcat for publishing Kirk Sibley’s letter. This is an astounding piece of journalism. This man has impeccable credentials. Mr. Sibley is a good example of what we intend education to do. Everyone should read this letter. I especially like his last sentence:“Raising tuition is not the answer.” As regards Patricia MacCorquodale’s proposal for “a $500 annual fee for honors students,” she should pay attention to what’s happening in California. There are 220,000 students in the University of California’s system on 10 campuses and 450,000 students in California’s State’s system on 23 campuses. What began in November of 2009 with rioting and mass arrests has metastasized into violence and more arrests. You can only turn the wine press down so far. With increasing defaults on student loans, the students in California’s system are angry and are beginning to swarm. Is MacCorquodale prepared for this when the swarm hits Arizona? I think not. —Michael J. Beisch
On ‘ASUA Candidates remain shiny – and vapid,’ March 8
I believe that things such as increasing the diversity of freshmen and freshman retention rates are goals that student representatives can work with the Arizona Board of Regents and UA Faculty members to achieve. And I do not think I am alone in this belief. To be fair, these goals are ambitious and will not be met without hard work and collaborative efforts, but I do not see much to be gained in the bashing of goals which could, potentially, be met. —Jason Ernst
“Voge would also like to help students clean up the parks and to be good role models for children. While these are all cute ideas, senators are elected to gather the opinion and promote the interests of current UA students, not use those students as manpower to paint murals in downtown.” Whether or not I personally support Voge’s candidacy or his platforms, you are mistaken in your assertion that these are just “cute ideas.” If I’m not correct, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of students on this campus devoting their time to community service efforts, including, but not limited to, cleaning up parks and being good role models for children. It seems to me that community service is actually an EXTREMELY important interest to current UA students. If Voge were elected and worked hard to create some type of community service event involving beautifying Tucson while serving as positive role models for children, I have no doubt that, if executed correctly, it could become an annual event and would be incorporated into ASUA’s Community Development Program … In addition, please take note of the research many of these candidates have done that you have not. Many of them are more than prepared to work with both ASUA and the UA administration to try to bring their platforms to fruition if elected on Wednesday. Why? Because many of them already ARE working in that capacity on different areas of campus. And, like Director Ernst said, it will take hard work and collaborative efforts for them to achieve these goals. I would much rather vote for a candidate with ambitious, interesting and wellresearched goals than for ones with platforms that have already been done and have no thought or research put into them at all. —ASUA Director My biggest problem with the current ASUA senators is that they make promises they are incapable of keeping (fee freezes and student retention…) I have yet to see either senator be successful with these types of promises — fees are not going away, and I have yet to see a senator work to keep students retained in any significant way. Finally, a candidate comes along with a new idea that will bring students to the forefront of becoming involved in their community and taking charge for creating positive change. If only student involvement had anything to do with student retention… —Ross D. You think your really cool talking about the senate and how unqualified they are, but all I see you doing is being a critic and writing a piece that doesn’t even have good grammar. I think we should commend these young faces for actually caring about student government, not bash them. Maybe you could run for senate if you think that these senators are so “vapid”. And, as for calling out Voge and Bilby — they have been working hard and have actually talked to current senators, researched their platforms and decided on tangible platforms. They have obviously been doing their best since they came in first and shouldn’t be the victim of your ridiculous article. —UA student I have a feeling all of these comments have come from members of ASUA or friends thereof. Because, let's be honest, the majority of the student body at U of A doesn't know and couldn't care less about this organization or whatever the hell they do on a daily basis other than getting into huge amounts of debt. So it really doesn't matter if we have a bunch of dumbasses in ASUA. Let them have their resume-building material — it's really not going to affect any of us in any way. —Typical UA student I commend Anna Swenson for calling out the unqualified senatorial candidates. To the person who said that none of ASUA's work will affect any of us: You're living in a dream world. Think about the after-effects of the LAST SMASH PLATINUM BASH disaster. The bookstore, and students, are still paying for that. Thank you, Ms. Swenson, for acknowledging that these kinds of events should not happen ever again. —Whoa whoa whoa people You have a problem with the author singling out Bilby and Voge? Shouldn't they, as senate candidates and potential ASUA members, be willing and ready to accept direct criticism for their actions? These individuals set themselves up for it by running for office. If they can't handle the bad reviews, they aren't strong enough to be senators for this university. I'm sure they're not losing sleep over this, seeing as they did the best in the primaries and will probably win the election anyway. —LD

policebeat By Bridgette Doran Arizona Daily Wildcat
Step 1: Place screaming girl in taxi
A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol Friday at 11:16 p.m. when he saw a group of people walking toward the entrance of the Coronado Residence Hall. Two people in the group were carrying a screaming woman. The officer caught up with the group inside the lobby of Coronado, where the woman was still screaming. The two people carrying the woman set her in a chair next to the entrance and told the officer that they were only bringing her to the dorm and did not know in which room she lived. Another person in the group said they had been partying at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house and had seen several people bring the woman out of the party, put her in a taxi and hand the driver $10. The people did not know who the woman was but felt like they should help her. They told the officer the woman’s name and that she had told them her friend had been shot, so she decided to get drunk. The officer reported that the woman smelled strongly of alcohol and had been screaming the entire time, so he called Tucson Fire Department paramedics. An on-duty Coronado resident assistant tried speaking with the woman, but she would not respond to anyone. By the time the paramedics arrived, the woman had vomited on herself, the chair and the carpet. The woman was transported to University Medical Center for further care. A fake Wisconsin driver’s license was also found in her purse that said she was 21. The officer said he would wait until she was released from UMC to cite her with minor in possession and unlawful use of a license.
Drunken women shut down fraternity party
A UAPD officer was on patrol Friday at 11 p.m. on East First Street when he saw a dark colored car parked in front of the Parker House with its hazard lights on. The officer could see that six or seven women were carrying a woman to the car. From where the officer was, he could not tell if the woman was conscious or not, and it appeared as though the woman wasn’t wearing clothes. When the officer got out of his patrol car, he could see that the woman was unconscious and wearing very little clothing. He asked what was going on, and a woman told him that their friend was sick and needed to be taken to the hospital. The woman said that she had been with the unconscious woman at a party at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house and noticed her friend had way too much to drink and needed to be taken home. When the woman and her friend got into a taxi, she threw up before they made it to the Parker House Residence Hall. Once at the Parker House, the woman continued to throw up, and her hall mates decided she needed to be taken to the hospital. Tucson Fire Department was called to the scene and transported the woman to UMC for extreme intoxication. At the hospital, the officer reported the woman saying she had been “stupid�and usually had a high tolerance for alcohol. The woman was cited for minor in possession. The officer decided that, because of the number of people reportedly getting drunk at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, the party needed to be shut down. At 11:37 p.m., officers met with the fraternity president and shut down the party. There were about 500 people at the party, and all non-residents left the house with no incident. The house members were very cooperative. While the house was emptying, the officer was told that, at 12:13 p.m., a woman was found lying in her own vomit in her dorm room. The officer said he had seen her leaning against the wall as everyone was leaving the party. A Code of Conduct referral was completed for the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house for serving alcohol to underage guests.
Car stolen from Babcock
A woman called UAPD on Friday at 11:12 a.m. to report that her car had been stolen from the parking lot outside of the Babcock Residence Hall. The woman told the officer that she arrived for work at 3 a.m. and parked her 2006 Chevy Trailblazer in the lot. When she returned to her parking space at 11 a.m., her car was no longer there. The officer checked the area and saw no sign of broken car parts. The woman said that she was certain that she had locked the car and that she had the only key. She also called her husband and son to see if they had picked up the car for any reason, but they had not. The woman said she did not have any suspect information but requested her victim’s rights and said that, if anyone were found, she would like to press charges. The information for the Chevy was entered into Arizona Criminal Information Center, which is run by the Arizona Department of Public Safety, and also into the National Criminal Information Center, which is run by the FBI. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Going home to LA
BRIEFS
Baseball rained out; two games on deck
By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Growing up in Los Angeles, forward Derrick Williams always dreamed of playing at Staples Center, home of the Clippers and the Lakers. On Thursday, about 30 to 40 of his family members and friends will watch him play in the arena for the Pacific 10 Conference Tournament. “I think its real cool, coming from LA area where the Staples Center is the biggest arena,”Williams said.“Everybody wants to see a Lakers game and Staples Center is real nice. It’s a huge thing for us LA dudes. I never played there before so it’s going to be real exciting.” But a lot of Williams’ friends and family hope that Arizona can win and advance to the Friday game because they will be unable to make the tip-off at noon on Thursday, Williams said. It’s been an unforgettable week for Williams, who was named Pac-10 Freshman of theYear on Monday. Williams was the only freshman to be selected for All-Pac-10 honors and was also named to the Sporting News All-Freshman team. “I think personally it’s a huge accomplishment for me and my family and all the people who believed in me from the beginning,” he said.“I just had to show what I could do.” Williams is the least-heralded recruit of all the members of the Sporting News’ all-freshman team, which includes John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Xavier Henry and Derrick Favors. In fact, the same was true of Williams among the five freshmen on Arizona’s roster this season. “So much is made about how many stars are next to your name, what camps you were invited to and are you an All-American,” said head coach Sean Miller. “When you look at the greatest players that have ever played here, there are so many that weren’t as highly rated or regarded coming out of high school. “He’s far exceeded a lot of our expectations and I’m sure his own,” he added. Though Williams didn’t expect to play his current role, he still looks back at those rankings from high school. “Especially coming out of my junior HOOPS, page A7
The Arizona Wildcats’ baseball game against Saint Joseph’s originally scheduled for Tuesday at 5 p.m. has been postponed due to rain. The Wildcats (6-4) will now play a double-header versus the Hawks (1-6) , with the first game at noon at Frank Sancet Stadium. Freshman left-hander Vincent Littleman will start the first game, while 6-foot-5 sophomore Kyle Simon will start Game 2. Littleman, who has allowed only one unearned run in 5 1/3 innings of relief, will be making his collegiate debut. Simon, on the other hand, will be battling to earn back his spot in the weekend rotation after allowing 10 runs on 13 hits and six walks in his last two outings as the Saturday starter. — Mike Schmitz

Gymcats take on the Pac-10 By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The Pacific 10 Conference is no laughing matter for the Arizona gymnastics team, which now must compete virtually without mistakes in order to keep pace in its competitive league. Out of the 10 schools in the Pac-10, seven have gymnastics programs. Of those seven, five are ranked in the nation’s top 25. The Gymcats are now ranked No. 19, gaining two spots after their meet against Washington last weekend, where they scored a 195.750. “You have to show up every weekend or else you will get beat,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “We wouldn’t want it any other way, but it definitely keeps you on your toes. Sometimes it would be nice to have a weekend off, so to speak, from a mental stress standpoint, but we don’t get that luxury.” Pac-10 gymnastics is wellrepresented nationally. UCLA, Stanford and Oregon State are ranked No. 3, No. 6 and No. 8, respectively. Having such strenuous competition benefits the young Gymcats, who are able to measure their skills against the stiff conference foes week in and week out. “When we are competing we are competing against the best all the time,” said sophomore Deanna Graham. “We are always competing against teams that are either just as good as or a lot better than us. I think it just keeps us strong mentally. I think no matter what sport you are in, you always work harder when you have something to always look at.” Senior Sarah Tomczyk has seen this level of competition for her entire career. She believes that the Pac-10 is one of the toughest conferences to compete in and serves as a measuring stick for the team. “I think it makes you aware of how good you are in comparison to the nation,” she said. The Pac-10 helps tremendously from a coaching standpoint as well. Ryden
believes that being in a demanding conference helps with recruiting and also can move performers along with their development. “You immediately know what you need to be to be successful,” Ryden said.“It’s not like there is an illusion, when you are competing against the best in the country that’s what you are striving for. You emulate them because beating a weaker team doesn’t really teach you anything.”
PAC10 IN THE RANKINGS UCLA- 3rd Stanford- 6th Oregon State- 8th Arizona- 21st Washington- 25th Pac-10 vs. SEC
Women’s collegiate gymnastics is dominated by the Pacific 10 and Southeastern Conferences. The two conferences account for 12 of the top 25 teams in the country as well as 19 of the 28 national championships. In fact, the last 14 national championships have been won by a team in the SEC or Pac-10. The only other school that has won a national championship is the University of Utah, which has won nine titles. The Pac-10 is currently losing the season series 5-0. Stanford has lost to Georgia, and UA has lost to Arkansas and Alabama. Bragging rights were on the line last weekend for both conferences as the No. 3 UCLA Bruins took on the No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs, and the No. 8 Oregon St. Beavers faced the No. 10 LSU Tigers. The Bulldogs edged by the Bruins 197.9-197.875, and the Beavers fell to LSU 195.525-196.925. This season, once again, the two conferences battle over national supremacy.
Freshman third baseman Brigette Del Ponte earned her first career Pacific 10 Conference Softball Player of the Week for her play during March 1-7. The accolade is Arizona softball’s 126th Pac-10 Player of the Week. The freshman leads the team in RBIs with 26, team Brigette batting with a .514 Del Ponte average and is tied for the team lead of Third base home runs with six. Del Ponte plated 13 RBIs off seven hits and blasted a home run in four successive games, including a grand slam against St. John’s University. — Arizona Daily Wildcat
Earl Mitchell reflects on his time at Arizona By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After a solid combine performance that improved his stock in the eyes of several scouts and talent evaluators, defensive tackle Earl Mitchell headed back to Tucson to train with his teammates for Arizona’s Pro Day on March 12. He took a few minutes out of his training schedule to talk with the Arizona Daily Wildcat about the NFL, the combine and what he’ll miss about Arizona. Daily Wildcat: So how have workouts been going? Earl Mitchell: Workouts have been good. Right now I’m just working out with all the guys here getting ready for Pro Day. Where did you work out before this? I was training down in Florida with Pete Bommarito. Me and (draft eligible cornerback) Devin Ross have the same agent, and he’s the same agent for (former Wildcats) Antoine Cason and MikeThomas and he has all the guys train down there. What are you looking to do at Arizona’s Pro Day? I’m going to do the position drills. No more measurable workouts? No, I feel like I did what I expected to do at the combine. I feel pretty good about (my workout there). So what exactly was the combine like? It was a great experience, but it was probably one of the toughest job interviews I’ve ever had in my life. There’s no way you can mentally prepare for the combine. What kind of questions did they ask you in the meetings? Mostly general questions. They want to know about your family, your background and pretty much your history. Mostly they want to know if you’ve had and trouble or run-ins with the law. Well you’re a standup guy I’m sure you did fine with that. (Laughs) Yeah I’m good. They were

surprised and asked me about three or four times if I really don’t drink and I was like ‘nope, not one sip.’ With guys like Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy, defensive tackle has become a pretty popular spot this year. What was it like being in that group? This year is pretty deep, but those two guys alone brought a lot to our group and defensive tackle has become a hot commodity. Working out with those guys and just kind of measuring up to those guys gave us an opportunity to perform for the coaches. What’s the interaction like between the players during drills at
the combine? Are you rivals or do you encourage each other? We were always rooting for each other no matter what. We all got along pretty well from the beginning because we had a lot in common. We all came in ready to focus and cheered each other on. Overall the guys were pretty nice. Scouts were really impressed with your work ethic, was that your plan of attack to try and set yourself apart from the pack during the week? Well I was the first person in my group and I wanted to show that I was ready for every drill. I just wanted to get my Q&A, page A7

surprise him in his progress if Parrom was to play after missing four games with an unspecified injury to his foot. Miller said on Tuesday he expected Parrom to possibly see limited action because his progress has been as expected: nothing drastic. “We’re optimistic that Kevin (Parrom) will be available for the game, dressed
and ready to play,” Miller said. “How effective I’m not sure, but he’s making progress, but he’s not 100 percent.” Miller also added that Parrom would get an opportunity to play but definitely ruled out starting him on Thursday. “I don’t want to make too much of it because Kevin (Parrom) may only play five minutes against UCLA,”Miller said.
Mitchell: ‘I feel like I’m pretty versatile’
hand down and show what I could do. So after the combine, what have you been hearing about where you might get picked? Right now it’s hard to say. Suh and McCoy will go first, so unless you’re one of them it’s kind of up in the air. If you were the Rams would you take Suh, McCoy or a quarterback? I would go with a quarterback because I know how crucial they are as leaders of a team. I mean they’re great players and nothing against them, but I know quarterbacks are important to teams.
So you came into Arizona as a running back, and while I’m sure you had NFL dreams, did you ever think it would be as a defensive tackle? Never. It never crossed my mind, but at the same time Arizona was the only school recruiting me to play offense so I knew there was a possible change, but I still felt like I had some good years of offense left in me. Where do you see yourself fitting into an NFL system? I feel like I’m pretty versatile. That’s how I came into Arizona and I see myself doing the same at the next level.
Some scouts said they could see you playing some offense as a blocking back, too. Would you be willing to do that? (NFL scouts) were asking me at the combine if I’d play on both sides and I wouldn’t have a problem with that at all. Before you take off for some NFL city, what will you miss most about UA? The friends that I made and the camaraderie of the team. Also being a part of that atmosphere (at Arizona stadium) and running out on that field. I personally feel like we had one of the best entrances (in college football).

Arizona women’s basketball players Davellyn Whyte and Ify Ibekwe joined their male counterparts Nic Wise and Derrick Williams Tuesday as Pacific 10 Conference postseason award winners. Whyte, a freshman guard who led the Wildcats in scoring this season with 16.0 points per game, was awarded Pac-10 Freshman of theYear. She also managed to set a school record on Jan. 16 after scoring 39 points against the Oregon Ducks during a 119-112 Wildcat victory in McKale Center. As Arizona women’s most prolific player over the last three seasons, junior forward Ibekwe was awarded the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year award after finishing the season as the only player in the conference to record doubledouble averages with 13.9 points and 11.3 rebounds per game. Ibekwe’s shining accomplishment of the season came against the Washington Huskies on Feb. 6 when she became only the 16th player in Arizona women’s history to record 1,000 points on her career. Both Ibekwe and Whyte also received All Pac-10 award honors.
