DISQUALIFIED

Bills seek to limit abortions

Excess campaign violations force special election for ASUA president

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT James Allen and Daniel Hernandez were disqualified from the ASUA presidential race due to an excess amount of campaign violations.

The candidates’ disqualifications will force a runoff election to be held at a later date.

Michael Colletti, the elections commissioner of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said that both candidates had at least 10 violations of the ASUA elections code, which results in immediate disqualification.

Campaign violations can include items such as campaigning inside the ASUA offices or within 75 feet of a polling place on election day, or exceeding spending limits, according to the ASUA Elections Code.

Spending limits for presidential candidates are set at $400. The code also contains provisions for the proper placement of posters and says the elections commissioner must approve all campaign-related social networking sites.

Colletti said he could not comment on the specifics of the violations.

Had the election stood, Allen would have won in a landslide, garnering 66.7 percent of the vote, more than double Hernandez’ total.

Allen said he did not know what election violations he had committed, but said he was planning to appeal some of the decisions. He also attributed the number of violations to the competitiveness of the election.

The approval of two Arizona bills will place limitations on abortion availability and prohibit funding to programs.

With a vote of 40-18, House Bills 2384 and 2416 both passed the House, according to the Arizona State Legislature.

“The anti-choice legislators in our legislature have pretty much launched the most shocking attack on women’s health that I’ve ever seen,” said Michelle Steinberg, a public policy manager and lobbyist for Planned Parenthood.

H.B. 2416 would prohibit outlying areas in Arizona, such as Prescott, Flagstaff and Yuma, from distributing abortion pills, Steinberg said.

In order to dispense abortion pills, the health centers have to be set up as surgery facilities, like those in Phoenix and Tucson.

“If you restrict availability to only Phoenix and Tucson, you’re creating a huge, huge burden for women who live outside those communities,” she said.

Women living in rural communities will be losing a significant amount of care due to this limited availability, Steinberg said.

Women will then have travel costs and be forced to delay their abortion procedure, Steinberg added.

Prolonging abortion could result in women needing to have surgery.

Forum held on concealed carry

Loughner pleads not guilty

By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Traci Sepp, a sophomore majoring in political science and theatre arts, said that at 110 pounds, she would be no match against a man threatening her in an emergency situation. Her need to carry a gun for self-protection inspired her to speak out at yesterday’s forum on Arizona gun legislation that would allow concealed weapons to be carried on campus.

“My dad has always taught me that he might not always be there to protect me, as much as he would like to,” she said.

Looking to University of Arizona Police Department Chief Anthony Daykin, she said police might not be there in time either.

“They won’t be there when I’m faced with a criminal, though they can help me pick up the pieces after,” Sepp said. “I am asking you to please protect my ability and my right to protect myself by supporting this legislation.”

Sepp was one of the few students who showed support of guns being allowed on campus at the public non-partisan speaker series, hosted by the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. About a hundred members of the UA and

Jared Lee Loughner, accused of the shootings on Jan. 8, pled not guilty to all charges yesterday during his first court appearance in Tucson since the shooting that left six dead and 13 wounded.

Loughner faces a 49-count federal indictment that includes the attempted assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, attempting to kill two of her aides, and the murders of federal judge John Roll and Gabe Zimmerman, one of Giffords’ staffers.

Loughner also faces four other murder charges for the deaths of Dorothy Morris, Phyllis Schneck, Dorwan Stoddard and 9-year-old Christina-Taylor Green.

Federal prosecutors have indicated that Loughner could face the death penalty if convicted.

“This indictment involves potential death-penalty charges, and Department rules require us to pursue a deliberate and thorough process,” said U.S. Attorney Dennis K. Burke

Loughner could also face additional charges brought on from the Pima County Attorney’s office after the conclusion of the federal trial, which Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall has confirmed is her intention. A hearing to determine his competency to stand trial has been set for May 25.

Loughner is being held at a maximum-security prison outside of Tucson.

NATION & WORLD 2010 was deadliest year of war for Afghan civilians, U.N. says MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE KABUL, Afghanistan — Last year was the deadliest yet for Afghan civilians in nearly a decade of warfare, the United Nations said Wednesday, in a report that painted a picture of growing insecurity in cities and towns across the country.

The U.N. mission in Afghanistan put the number of civilians killed last year at 2,777, a 15 percent increase over the previous year.

About three-quarters of those deaths were caused by insurgents, the report said.

Most of the civilian casualties were capriciously random in nature, with hundreds of people dying in suicide attacks or roadside bombings. But the report also noted an ominous trend: a doubling of assassinations of government officials, tribal elders and other prominent figures.

These targeted killings are viewed as an unambiguous warning by insurgents against cooperating with the administration of President Hamid Karzai or with the Western military force.

Civilian deaths and injuries were concentrated in Afghanistan’s principal conflict zones — the south and east — but touched all areas of the country. And they spiked in some areas that were previously considered relatively peaceful, such as the north.

The report, issued jointly with the

Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, coincides with a series of upbeat public assessments by senior American and other Western officials, including Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who have highlighted military gains in recent months against the Taliban and other militant groups.

But fighting between the Taliban and the NATO force is likely to intensify in coming weeks as the weather improves, and the U.N. voiced fears that civilians would find themselves caught in the crossfire.

As it did in the previous year, the report charted a drop in the proportion of deaths caused by the Western military, this time of 26 percent. But the current year already has seen several high-profile instances of casualties at the hands of the NATO force, including nine young boys killed this month as they gathered firewood on a mountainside. Gates apologized to Karzai during a visit this week for the deaths of the boys, who were hunted down by helicopter gunships after being mistaken for insurgents who had attacked a U.S. base.

Western military officials often express frustration over the degree of anger directed at the foreign forces over civilian casualties when it is insurgents who cause by far the greatest number of deaths and injuries.

Shuttle Discovery makes graceful return MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Commander Steve Lindsey brought space shuttle Discovery in for a graceful landing at Kennedy Space Center just before noon Wednesday, ending a 13-day mission as well as the orbiter’s 27-year career. It was also the first step in the end of the U.S. space shuttle program.

“The end of a historic journey. To a ship that has led the way, time and time again, we bid farewell to Discovery,” said NASA commentator Charles Hobaugh as the orbiter rolled down the runway.

Discovery’s return leaves just two more shuttle launches — Endeavour in April, and Atlantis in June — before the program is retired. With it will go an estimated 7,000 jobs at the space center.

And for the first time in 50 years, NASA is uncertain what is next for the U.S. space flight program. Congress wants the agency to build a new heavy-lift rocket, but the agency says it

can’t do it with the funding Congress has provided in time by the Dec. 31, 2016 deadline it’s been given.

After Atlantis’ last flight, astronauts will be taken to the space station aboard Russian Soyuz rockets, while cargo will ride aboard a new generation of commercial rockets.

As soon as Discovery rolled to a halt, NASA’s oldest and most-traveled orbiter — it began service in 1984 —- was back in the hands of Stephanie Stilson and her team.

They will spend weeks inspecting the spaceship, then several months decomissioning it to make what one historian called “the champion of the fleet” into a museum piece.

Most likely, Discovery will wind up in the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air & Space Museum in Washington. NASA has offered Discovery to that museum, and the Smithsonian wants it but has yet to figure out how to pay the $28.8 million cost of decommissioning and delivery. A final decision will be announced in mid-April.

82 percent of public schools could fail ‘No Child Left Behind’ MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — The Obama administration estimates that 82 percent of the nation’s public schools could fall short of federal standards this year, grades that are not only embarrassing but also mean government intervention for some of them.

In a report to Congress on Wednesday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan was urging Congress to change the federal standards so that failing grades are awarded only to the schools most in need of help.

The law known as No Child Left Behind set up an aggressive review designed to make all public school students proficient in reading and math by 2014.

One of Obama’s objections to the standards is that they rise each year, so that even schools that are improving can fail to make their “annual yearly progress” marks.

“No Child Left Behind is broken and we need to fix it now,” Duncan says in prepared remarks for testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. “This law has created a thousand ways for schools to fail and very few ways to help them succeed. We should get out of the business of labeling schools as failures and create a new law that is fair

and flexible, and focused on the schools and students most at risk.”

Although the official confirmation of the 82 percent failure rate is new, lawmakers have known for some time that it would be in that range.

Fear of those marks has put Republicans and Democrats in a mood to change the law, at least to adjust the grading criteria.

In question is just how sweeping the overhaul of the elementary and secondary education law will be.

For his part, Obama wants to reward schools with high levels of poverty that show improvement. Only those that persistently fail to improve would be subject to intervention by state officials.

In projecting how schools will do, the Department of Education calculates that all schools in the country should get better at the rate of the top 25 percent. By this standard, the percentage that will not meet goals rises to 82 percent this year from 37 percent in 2010, according to the department.

If the vast majority of schools are judged as failures, says Duncan, it’s harder to target the ones that are failing to improve. “(T)he required remedies for all of them are the same,” he says in his remarks, “which means we will really fail to serve the students in greatest need.”

U.S. warns that standoff in Sudan is ‘unacceptable’ MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE JUBA, Southern Sudan — After weeks of cautiously optimistic statements about progress toward dividing Sudan into two countries, the United States on Wednesday issued a sharply worded rebuke warning that Sudan’s northern government faced “greater, more painful isolation” if it didn’t take steps to stop raids that have killed scores in the disputed Abyei border region.

“This dangerous standoff is unacceptable,” the statement read.

The stern words came as the U.S. is determining whether to remove the northern Sudan government in Khartoum from its list of terrorist nations after the country’s formal acceptance last month of the results of a referendum that will lead to Southern Sudan’s independence in July.

The vote in January formed the corner-

stone of a 2005 peace deal that ended a decades-long civil war that killed 2 million people.

Abyei is contested between the Ngok Dinka tribe of African southerners, who live there year-round, and Misseriya Arab northerners, who graze their cattle there during the dry season. A planned vote to determine whether the region remains with the Arab north or becomes part of the African south hasn’t been held.

More than 100 people died last week when northern Arab fighters attacked Ngok Dinka villages in the Abyei area, forcing tens of thousands to flee southward. Satellite images from the Satellite Sentinel Project, co-founded by Sudan activist and actor George Clooney, showed entire villages razed to the ground, including one settlement in which 300 huts appeared to have been burned after an attack Saturday.

EDITORIAL Gun forum not a political rally

I

n response to proposed Arizona legislation that would allow concealed weapons on campus and prohibit Arizona universities from controlling gun carriers, GPSC and ASUA co-sponsored “Learn Without Concern,” a public forum held on Wednesday to discuss the bills.

The Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona’s combined effort to ignite informed debate could have been commendable. Instead, its organizers seemed to momentarily lose sight of why they were gathered in front of the Old Main building, and allow “Learn Without Concern: Civil Discourse on Concealed Weapons on Campus” to become a pep rally for Daniel Hernandez.

The goal of “Learn Without Concern” was to “hold a public, non-partisan speaker series to facilitate civil discussion,” according to GPSC’s press release. Who knew “civil discussion” would, at least briefly, revolve around Hernandez’s actions on Jan. 8 and why everyone should vote for him?

GPSC President Emily Connally, who introduced the speakers, took the opportunity to inform the crowd that “Daniel Hernandez is running for ASUA president and I think everyone should vote for him.” She went on to describe Hernandez’s heroism and implore the audience to vote for him as ASUA president.

While Connally spoke, ASUA Senate candidate Robert Rosinksi said he was also running for ASUA. Connally then told the audience that Duke was also running, and everyone should vote for Duke. Maybe this states the obvious, but “Duke” doesn’t sound anything like “Robert,” and Rosinski has never gone by a nickname.

Meanwhile, audience members protested Connally’s endorsement of Hernandez. Some booed, and called out that they were there to talk about guns, not ASUA politics. They have a point.

At a forum to discuss gun legislation, an especially important issue to the UA, Hernandez’s hero status was entirely irrelevant. Attendees weren’t there to hear Connally’s personal opinion on who they should vote for in ASUA elections. They wanted to weigh in on the impact of concealed weapons on campus.

Furthermore, endorsing Hernandez because of his heroism on Jan. 8 was a cheap distraction. Telling people to vote for the man because he’s a hero showed a disregard for his platforms, ideas and qualifications as a legitimate candidate.

No one denies that Hernandez should be applauded for his quick thinking during the aftermath of the Jan. 8 shootings, and that he is fully capable of being a successful ASUA president, but that didn’t need to be discussed at “Learn Without Concern.” Given the timing and setting, Connally’s impromptu endorsement of him was inappropriate and bizarre.

Women should be seen and definitely heard Heather Price-Wright Arizona Daily Wildcat

O

n March 1, in response to an editorial semi-facetiously supporting the movement that Pima County secede from the rest of Arizona and form its own state, the Daily Wildcat received an interesting letter to the editor.

I say interesting to borrow the letterwriter’s own language. The letter, which was — shocker — unsigned, began: “Your editorial about the formation of ‘Baja Arizona’ from what is now Pima County is interesting, although I was put off by the crudeness of the language, especially coming from an editorial staff made up primarily of women.”

The “crude language” in question was, I can only assume, one use of the word “ass” and the declaration that the “adios motherfucker” should become Baja Arizona’s official state drink. The editorial writers, who, true, are mostly women, thought this a witty play on Pima County dwellers waving goodbye-and-good-riddance to Maricopa County.

The letter goes on to say a lot of other paranoid, racist and silly things, as well as level a few nuggets of legitimate criticism. But reading it, I couldn’t get past that first line.

“Especially coming from an editorial

staff made up primarily of women.” What is that supposed to mean?

I wish it were possible to chalk that statement up to the particular brand of crazy that anonymity on the Internet breeds, but the idea that women should behave and express themselves in a certain way in the public sphere is, sadly, still incredibly pervasive in our culture.

Not to bring up ancient history, but take, for example, the 2008 presidential elections and the wall-to-wall anti-feminist drivel it brought out in people. Pretty much everyone besides her diehard fans, and even some of those, had something appallingly sexist to say about Hillary Clinton. For acting the way any man would in a cutthroat primary race, haters called Clinton a “bitch,” and worse (even in a column about women’s right to curse, I’m not ballsy enough {fallopian tubes-y enough?} to use the dreaded c-word). But other people used it enough for all of us.

A man with Clinton’s credentials and swagger would be celebrated in the political sphere. Her husband, despite some incredibly public transgressions, still has an enormous amount of cache in certain circles. His wife gets to play the part of the frigid bitch.

Letters from

And can you imagine the fallout if Michelle Obama cursed like Rahm Emanuel? Or smoked like her husband used to? Or said or did anything improper or unladylike? Half the country loses its mind when she flashes a little shoulder.

The idea that women should be seen (mostly in pearls and mostly in debasing situations) and not heard is one of the original stigmas generations of women have fought to get rid of. And some — even certain women — think that, because women’s voices are now heard and expected in the public sphere, female speech should be appropriate and demure, never strident, never crude, never very interesting. It’s understanding that some women want to protect their right to free public speech by kowtowing to society’s unspoken restrictions on it. We made it here, so we may as well speak in a way that reflects well on our gender.

But I have to reject that. When a powerful white man speaks, he is not speaking for all powerful white men. Why should my, or anyone else’s, affinity for the occasional f-bomb have to be a reflection on an entire half of the population?

March is Women’s History Month, and Tuesday was International Women’s Day. In honor of these events, and also in the name of decency and equality, we would all do well to remember that one person’s offhanded remark is another person’s generations-long struggle for a voice. Leave mine alone. In other words, fuck off.

Spring fashion victims

H

ere we are, less than a week into the warmer weather, and I can already tell by your unique fashion statements that you have either completely given up mirrors for Lent or you have recently suffered severe head trauma that has caused you to neglect all fashion cues you once possessed.

This obviously means little coming from a girl who is obsessed with her harem pants that everyone else refers to as her “Hammer pants,” but even my colorblind grandfather would be offended by your wardrobe choices.

Thus, I am qualified as any to critique your fashion.

So by the power vested in me (columnists have all the power, don’t you know?) I now pronounce myself deputy officer of UAFP, University of Arizona Fashion Police. For my first act as deputy, I would like to take the time to inform you as to why your outfit sucks.

First thing’s first, those horrid sweats you have been hiding behind this winter need to find their way back into your dresser drawers. I know it was nice to conceal your leg stubble, but the pajamas are no longer necessary. In case you have not realized,

wearing sweats makes you look sloppy and 10 pounds heavier. Don’t worry, you can keep the North Face, but the baggy pants are nonnegotiable. Besides, if you wear sweats “you can’t sit with us.”

Gentlemen, the professionalism you are trying to convey with that button down shirt goes unnoticed when armpit stains begin to emerge. Even though it is 50 degrees out when you leave the house, it is guaranteed to be 80 degrees by noon. Because of this, you will either need to dress in layers or put a considerable amount of deodorant on in order to prevent the horrendous sweaty pits that will ensue. Take the warmer weather into consideration when you get dressed in the morning.

I know I have mentioned this time and time again, but Uggs, or most of this winter’s stylish boots for that matter, and shorts or skirts are never a fashion do.

Getting your money’s worth is one thing, but insisting on wearing your thigh-high boots with your jorts (those are jean shorts for those of you who were raised on Mars) is really crossing the line. Say goodbye to the

boots until next winter and say hello to those sandals hidden in the back of your closet; just make sure that you’ve also said hello to a pedicure first.

Although this warmer weather is tempting, guys should avoid wearing swim trunks as legitimate bottoms. Are you about to hit those gnarly desert waves, dude? We are in Arizona, where board shorts do not equate to real life shorts you can wear to class.

Have you heard the saying, “Where there is a will, there is a way?” Well, I have a new take on it — “Where there is a butt, there is a slut.” Yes, I am talking to you, Ms. Booty Shorts. Even a pubescent boy would agree that there is a time and place for exposing your ass, and TRAD 104 is neither the time nor place.

Playing peek-a-boo with your ass is not what I had in mind for my break between classes.

Have you ever considered that you are not Kim Kardashian and, therefore, we could care less about seeing your butt?

I hate to do it, but the athletes need to be called out too. I get that you have enough university issued clothing to last

you a lifetime, as you have made that very apparent in the past four years, but don’t you think it is time to show a different side of your personality now?

Surely you own a pair of jeans or a shirt that isn’t made from Dri-FIT material.

I would think this last one would go without saying, but sometimes people live in their own little world where it is perfectly acceptable to wear flower patterned spandex as pants. Yep, people do that. The ‘80s called and want your pants back, girlfriend. Generally, you can use “whether or not your pants look like something one of the Tanner girls would have worn on ‘Full House’” as a rule of thumb when getting dressed in the morning.

Until I am replaced by someone more qualified for the job, such as Joan Rivers and her minions on “Fashion Police,” I will work tirelessly to ensure that our community is fashion-atrocity free.

GUNS continued from page 1 to show their opposition.

ASUA recently passed a resolution expressing concern over the bills. ASUA President Emily Fritze said allowing a gun onto a campus averts students’ attention from the purpose of the university, which she said is “learning, not arming.� “Allowing concealed carry at the UA distracts from the mission and shifts the burden of self-preservation from campus and public safety officers to students and faculty, many (of) whom are not comfortable with this,� she said.

Lt. Deanna Coultas from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department spoke on the behalf of Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik about tactical dangers posed by not knowing who has a firearm. She said a crossfire situation could cause proliferation of firearms in an enclosed area, like a classroom.

Both Coultas and Fritze said they believe the university should be a place where intellectual debate is encouraged. “Students and professors alike should not have to fear that the person with whom they are discussing an idea is going to get angry and pull out a weapon,� Coultas said.

The UA Faculty Senate publicized its official statement of opposition to Carrying a Concealed Weapon on campus during its meeting on Monday, and UA President Robert Shelton recently released a statement which said the UA was “unambiguously opposed� to having guns on campus.

Duke Schechter, a UA alumnus and

membership director of Arizona Citizen Defense League, was in full support of having guns on campus. Schechter said he prefers to call firearms and weapons “personal anti-assault tools.� He compared a gun to a hammer, which “can be used for good or evil.� “We talk about all the no gun signs on campus. Are they any more effective than the no skateboarding signs?�

Schechter asked the audience. He added that many people who should not be carrying weapons on campus could do so anyway. “We’ve been told this is a safe campus. I wonder how certain people in the School (College) of Nursing felt about that when they were attending ‌ when I was a student on this campus,â€? he said, referring to a gunman that took the lives of three professors before killing himself.

Mark Dougherty, a junior majoring in public management and policy and a veteran, was also in favor of the legislation. He said that carrying a concealed weapon is not the distraction Fritze said it would be. “It’s concealed, so you won’t know it’s there,� Dougherty said.

He added that a person must pass an eight-hour class on firearm handling, safety, weapons aptitude and Arizona gun laws in order to receive their Carrying a Concealed Weapon permit. “You can’t take away somebody’s right to defend themselves,� he said. “A police officer can’t always be there for you, and you can’t guarantee that anyone else will look after your well-being with the exception of yourself.�

BILLS continued from page 1 This is dangerous because it puts women at potential risk for even more invasive procedures, she said. “If you’re eligible for an early, early abortion and you delay your care, and you end up having surgery, that’s a direct result of this bill,� Steinberg said.

In addition, H.B. 2416 also requires health centers to perform an ultrasound one hour before the abortion procedure, she said.

At that time, the patient would listen to audible body sounds.

Before the House approved the bill, Planned Parenthood had already been performing ultrasounds as standard procedure, but did not have patients wait an hour. There is no medical reason for a patient to have to sit and think about their decision, she said. “They want women to change their minds,� Steinberg said.

Arizona state legislators such as Republican Rep. Kimberly Yee, from District 10, support the two bills. Yee has said in the past that H.B. 2416 is about protecting health safety for women and the one hour requirement gives them the opportunity to make more educated decisions.

The second bill, H.B. 2384, prohibits public funding and the use of federal tax money for organizations that do abortion referrals and provide abortion coverage in their health insurance, Steinberg said. “The law prohibits any public dollars or public funds as being directed toward training,� said Democratic Rep. Matt Heinz, from District 29 of the Arizona State Legislature.

Steinberg said that H.B. 2384 “works to make sure that Planned Parenthood gets absolutely no public money.� There is a state tax credit that offers donations to the working poor.

However, Planned Parenthood is disqualified from participating in the program, she said. The bill sets up barriers for people who want to donate money to this health facility. “By disqualifying Planned Parenthood, you’re really just taking money away from women who are receiving valuable life-saving care,� she said.

Supporters of H.B. 2384 have previously said that they don’t want state funds being used to promote abortions.

At the University Medical Center, law has prohibited teaching abortion procedures since 1974, according to an email statement from Katie Riley, the director of media relations and spokesperson at the Arizona Health Sciences Center.

Riley noted that Dr. Kathryn Reed, the department head of obstetrics and gynecology at the Arizona Health Sciences Center, confirmed that H.B. 2384 could affect an estimated 80 residents.

Kristin Anchors, a first-year graduate student of the College of Medicine, said that medical students cannot learn about abortion on campus. Students have to go to Planned Parenthood or get information on their own by going to conferences in other cities, she said. “I find myself going out of my way to learn these things and to understand the law so that someday I can still provide this service for somebody in the future,�

Anchors said, “which is kind of strange that I have to do that.�

Heinz said he suspects the obstetrics and gynecology program at the UA will not be in compliance for national accreditation because it requires the training program to offer the option of abortion-training procedures to their residents. “It’s simply, purely a training issue and it should be left alone by the legislature,� Heinz said.

He also said the bill creates an enormous hurdle for the university to have to deal with in order to comply with the law. “They’re doing everything that they can to intrude on a woman’s personal, private medical decisions,� Steinberg said.

New dorms have guest before residents

A security guard interrupted a potential burglary at 6:40 a.m., on Sunday.

He reported a break-in at the construction site for Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall at Euclid Avenue and Sixth Street to the University of Arizona Police Department at 9:09 a.m.

A UAPD officer made contact with the guard at the construction site, which is surrounded by a 6-foot-tall chain link fence and secured with motion detection sensors.

Early that morning, the guard was alerted to a potential trespasser after one of the motion sensors went off.

As he left the trailer, the guard saw a man running west toward the fence along Euclid Avenue.

The unknown man jumped over the fence and entered a small tan pickup truck.

Because of the light conditions at dawn, he could not provide an accurate description of the suspect.

The guard found the point of entry, along the Sixth Street side fence, and showed it to the police officer.

The wire, in place to secure fencing sections, was twisted and removed to gain entry.

The officer found a small amount of bare copper wire on the ground.

It was unknown as to where the copper wire was removed from or if other items were stolen from the construction site.

After securing the area, the guard indicated that he would contact the construction supervisor on Monday morning to report a possible theft.

Wild cat fight

A brawl between two women was broken up at 1:51 a.m., on Sunday.

A UAPD officer was working an off-duty event at Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house and observing guests as they left the event.

A group of partygoers were milling around a vehicle at Tyndall Avenue and First Street.

As the officer watched, a female UA student threw another woman to the ground.

The officer ran over to the intersection while the women were pushing, pulling and hitting each other.

The officer tried to seize the student who started the fight, but she evaded the officer by running south on Tyndall Avenue.

Another UAPD officer caught the fleeing female and handcuffed her.

“The bitch threw her drink on me, so I hit her,” she said.

She identified herself as a scholarship athlete and told the officers that she left the fight with the woman when people in the crowd began yelling “Run! Run!” The student agreed to a portable breathalyzer test and tested positive for alcohol.

The officer arrested the student for minor in possession.

The officer also took pictures of the student’s wounds and submitted the photos to UAPD property as evidence.

The student was cited and released.

Pretty little liar

A male UA student was arrested for minor in possession on Sunday at 1:37 a.m., after repeatedly lying to an officer.

A UAPD officer was on patrol at Mountain Avenue and Mabel Street when he noticed an intoxicated man.

The man was stumbling and trying to enter the passenger side of a parked vehicle.

However, a couple in the car was telling the man to not enter the vehicle.

At that point, the officer stopped his cruiser and approached him on foot.

The officer notcied that the student showed many signs of intoxication, an unsteady gait, mood changes and a strong odor of alcohol and when the officer requested the student’s identification, he told the officer that he didn’t have any.

The student identified himself with a name and birth date in June 1992, which would make the student 18 years old.

When the officer found no match on a records check, the student offered a January birth date.

While checking the second identification, the officer obtained a CatCard from the student.

The name printed on the card was different from the one the student provided.

Eventually, the student admitted that he was born in July and had a driver’s license to verify.

The officer arrested the student for minor in possession and for intentionally giving false information to a police officer.

The student was cited and transported to his residence hall.

The officer also filled out a Dean of Students Office code of conduct referral for the student.

Grants expand LGBT courses

ELECTIONS continued from page 1 “110 percent” to win reelection.

“As you can probably tell from my sunglasses tan, I’ve been out on the (UA) Mall pretty much every day,” he said, laughing.

When asked about working with his brother, Brett Ponton said it would be “interesting.”

“We were together before college and then we kind of diverged a bit, and now we’re coming together for our senior year,” he said. “I think it’s a fitting end.”

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Professors in several different fields will create and expand courses to include content relevant to the LGBT community.

The Institute for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies awarded six grants for curriculum development in subjects ranging from Near Eastern Studies to anthropology last semester. Several of these courses are core components of undergraduate and graduate degree paths.

Current social and political issues have sparked student awareness of LGBT issues, according to Susan Shaw, assistant professor of anthropology. Shaw received $2,000 which she will use to develop a new graduate seminar and upper-division undergraduate course concerning feminism, gender and sexuality over the summer.

The courses will discuss topics such as how societies think of bodies as male or female and how this varies across cultures.

The courses will be offered as early as spring 2012, Shaw said.

“Students are increasingly interested in sexuality and sexual difference,” she said.

“It’s becoming increasingly political.”

Knowledge about LGBT issues is important for students regardless of their majors, according to Miranda Joseph, associate professor of Gender and Women’s Studies.

Joseph is using the $5,000 grant she received to redevelop the general education course Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies.

The course has been offered for nearly a decade to about 50 to 80 students, Joseph said. Budget cuts have required the class to accommodate 168 students this semester.

“In some ways, I’m happy I’m serving

more students with the course,” Joseph said. “It’s important for any educated person to have exposure to.”

The graduate assistant funded by the grant is helping to redesign lectures to include multimedia to engage the large class.

The course covers topics like the theories of sexuality, social movements, the politics of representation and stereotypes.

“Issues related to sexuality are in the news media every day,” Joseph said. “We all play a role in the decision making about that.”

A mandatory course in the James E. Rogers College of Law will also include LGBT content this semester.

Barak Orbach, an associate professor of law, has taught the course The Regulatory State for six years. Grant funding will help Orbach to incorporate LGBT content into discussion of government regulation, he said.

“Many of us don’t think about how regulation affects certain individuals,” Orbach said. “This is one of the things the course tries at the very least to emphasize.”

community or are family or friends of those who do, Orbach said.

“This is something students should know regardless of what they think about it, regardless of what conclusions they come to,” he said.

Orbach said the course is a work in progress, which he has already added material to. He is also working on developing a book based on the course.

Orbach also mentioned his appreciation of the affiliation with the Institute for LGBT Studies the grant provides.

“I think we need to discuss (issues) in a civilized manner,” he said. “It’s a stamp to discuss things inclusively.”

Knowledge of LGBT issues is useful for all students, said business marketing freshman Paige Kratzke. Kratzke said she decided to take the course Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies to learn about the history of gay and lesbian people in the United States.

“It’s important to know about everyone who makes up our society,” Kratzke said.

“People don’t realize there are so many groups.”

No comment.

I am into politics, into sports, into art, and music and movies.

Any Spring Break mishaps in the past?

No. I turned 21 last spring break, and on Saint Patty’s Day we went to Love Revolution Lounge, which is The Beatles lounge at the Mirage, and it was salsa night … on Saint Patty’s Day. So we danced the night away but it was kind of ironic, they have the quintessential lead man for the salsa band, the big Latin dude with the shaved head and a big zoot suit.

So are you more into salsa dancing or getting low?

I am definitely more of a class act kind of guy than grinding. My exgirlfriend and I used to swing dance.

Charlie Sheen wants an intern, social media pros warn, ‘Don’t do it!’

Thousands of people are currently applying to be Charlie Sheen’s social media intern, but a few PR pros believe that sometimes the best prayers are those that are unanswered.

The controversial — and former — “Two and a Half Men” star just posted an application asking for a social media intern.

According to the job post, Sheen wants a “hardworking, self-motivated, creative, resourceful and social media savvy individual to work closely

with him to leverage his social network.”

The post says the internship “will focus on executing a social media strategy that will build on the success Charlie Sheen has attained in setting the Guinness World Record for the fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter.”

In addition, the chosen intern is expected to be proactive, monitor the day-to-day activities on the major social media platforms, prepare for exciting

More grad student groups seek funding grants

By Eliza Molk Arizona Daily Wildcat There is a significant increase of graduate student groups applying for professional development and club funding this semester than in previous semesters.

Bryan Helm, the Graduate and Professional Student Council treasurer, said he believes this is for many reasons, such as students applying for grants for the first time, repeating events that had funding in the past and less departments having the funds to support these student clubs or events.

He explained that there is less support from academic units for things like invited speakers at events, which Helm said many applicants requested this year, especially by those in graduate programs.

GPSC offers three types of funding grants: initial, special and Professional Opportunities Development — or POD — to groups whose student organizations are made up of graduate and/or professional students.

Initial club funding is intended to support basic student organization operations and may not be used for travel or events, according to the GPSC Club Funding website. Examples of articles that can be purchased with this funding include office supplies, postage and advertising. Each student organization can receive up to $500 of initial club funding per fiscal year.

Special club funding is more broad than POD funding, Helm said, because it can be used for things other than specific events. There is no limit as to how much a student organization can request within special club funding; however,

requests above $1,500 require a letter of recommendation from a UA faculty member. The website explains that special club funding is highly competitive because it can involve large amounts of money and therefore clubs must demonstrate why they deserve funding.

POD funding helps support student organizations plan events like academic seminars, conferences and meetings with industry representatives, according to the website. At least three UA graduate and/or professional students must be directly involved in the event seeking funding, and the event must take place within six months of the application date. A student organization can receive a maximum of $1,500 for any given event or project, and a student can only be involved in one event or project funded by a POD grant in a fiscal year — however, organizations can apply as many times as desired.

A “standard” POD, Helm said, requests money for travel, hotel and honorarium, which is a gift given to the speaker.

An internal GPSC appropriations committee, chaired by the GPSC treasurer, meets monthly to review the funding grants. All grants must submit an itemized budget, fall within the initial guidelines for funding and justify reasons for funding. An example of a justification, Helm said, is an explanation of how a certain speaker could educate the graduate community.

The committee recommends which grants should be funded, and GPSC has the “final say,” according to Helm.

“We (GPSC) have a limited amount of funds, so we have to be selective about which grants can be funded,” he said.

positives of the series greatly outweigh the negatives.

“We played well except for one inning,” Lopez said. “We pitched well. Even in the seventh inning (on Wednesday), we didn’t pitch poorly.”

Wade’s performance was one of the highlights of the weekend for Lopez, and it may have been even better if the freshman wasn’t working on a pitch count.

“It was really exciting to get a start,” Wade, the Scottsdale native said. “I was kind of nervous at the beginning, but I settled in. I was throwing my changeup and fastball for a strike, and when you have command of your offspeed, it’s going to be a good day.”

Selsky eyeing return

A CLOSE TO campus, close to play, and close to perfect new home. We have 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes with private entrances, separate leases, roommate matching if needed, fully furnished, most utilities paid and much more. Call or come by for this weeks’ special 520-622-8503 or 1725 N. Park Avenue.

Relievers struggle yet again For the second time in a week, the Wildcats’ bullpen cost the Arizona baseball team a series sweep.

Arizona freshman Konner Wade was spectacular on Wednesday, going six innings and giving up only two hits while striking out seven, but the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (12-3) notched eight of its ten hits in a fluky seventh inning en route to a 9-7 win over the Wildcats.

“It was very unique. You’d have to see it to believe it,” head coach Andy Lopez said about the seventh inning.

“Every hop went the wrong way.

There was a fly ball you couldn’t have thrown into a better area. Routine ground balls were taking bad hops.

Those innings show up, and we saw it today.”

The Wildcats (10-3) jumped out to a 7-0 lead after six and a half innings behind Johnny Field’s 1-for-3 day at the plate, including a three-run home run in the fifth. “(Field) has done a great job with (Steve) Selsky being out,” Lopez said.

“He’s going to be a good player for us. He had a very good two days.”

Matt Chaffee (1-1) got the loss, getting tagged for eight earned runs in the costly seventh.

Even though the Wildcats let a sweep get away, Lopez said that the

He’ll get his wish on March 19 when Arizona hosts San Francisco for a three-game series.

“We just found out on Monday when we were flying out of Tucson,” Lopez said. “That gets him back a week before Pac-10 play starts. He’s been doing work off of a tee and things like that, so he’ll be ready to go.”

Carmelo’s buzzer-beater sinks Grizzlies THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MEMPHIS, Tenn. — After the Grizzlies picked the Knicks’ pockets all night long, it was Carmelo Anthony who stole the game. He buried a baseline jumper with five-tenths of a second left to give the Knicks a 110-108 win in a wild game on Wednesday night at the FedEx Forum.

The Knicks blew a 16-point lead going into the fourth quarter and a 10-point edge with about four minutes to go, but managed to pull out their third straight win.

Anthony, who missed a shot with 22.2 seconds left, drilled the winning shot over guard Tony Allen and right in front of a screaming Memphis bench.

Anthony backpedaled down the floor firing trash talk right back at the silenced Grizzlies.

SOFTBALL continued from page 14 from an error, the aforementioned illegal pitch and left fielder Brittany Lastrapes’ RBI single.

Arizona wouldn’t add any runs again until the sixth inning. The Wildcats scored two before catcher Stacie Chambers stepped up to the plate with a runner on. Chambers had gotten off to a slow start, striking out twice and walking in her first three at-bats. That all would

Anthony’s foul on Zach Randolph with 14.2 seconds left resulted in a three-point play that tied it at 108.

Anthony had 31 points, his second consecutive 30-point game, and six assists for the Knicks (3429), who have their highest win total since the 2003-04 season.

Amar’e Stoudemire had 26 points but was victimized the most by Memphis’ defense, committing six turnovers.

Randolph had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Allen had 22 points and Mike Conley had 20 points and five steals for the Grizzlies (36-30), who lost at home for only the 10th time.

The Knicks carried a 96-82 lead into the fourth but yielded eight straight points. They missed their first seven shots to see the lead dwindle to six after

a jumper by Darrell Arthur with 9:03 left. Toney Douglas found Shawne Williams in the corner for a long jumper to end the Knicks’ drought and give them a 98-90 lead. Anthony scored on a spin move in the paint to make it 100-90 with 6:28 left.

But the Knicks could not shake the pesky Grizzlies, who challenge every pass. After leading 108-98 with 3:37 left, the Knicks failed to score on four straight possessions. Memphis closed within 108-105 on a three-point play by Arthur that included a thunderous, fast-break dunk over Jared Jeffries.

The play was the result of the Grizzlies’ 12th steal. They entered leading the league with 9.25 per game and finished with 13. They converted 28 points off 17 turnovers.

change, though, when she took Bluejays reliever Brittany Telecky yard on the second pitch she saw, giving Arizona the run-rule victory.

“Stacie made a couple adjustments,” Candrea said. “She looked like she had no clue the first two at-bats. She got her eyes down a little bit.”

Chambers added that the lategame changes helped her in the final at-bat.

“I need to be able to make adjustments sooner than that though,” Chambers said. “Better

late than never, I guess.”

Extra Bases

•Chambers is nine homers away from the Arizona home run record and 14 from the all-time NCAA record.

• Senior Victoria Kemp got her first hit of the year on Wednesday with a single to left field in the sixth inning. Kemp has been recovering from a torn posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) she suffered before the season started.

Senior teaches underclassmen while enjoying her best season

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT She is considered a great teammate, a fierce competitor, a mother figure and one of the most giving girls on the team.

The Arizona gymnastics team will be hosting its senior night on Friday at 7, and will bid farewell to its lone senior Miranda Russell.

As a fifth year senior, she has had many ups and downs throughout her career, but she’ll go out on a high note.

“She could have retired. She didn’t want to and she came back and is having the best year of her career,” head coach Bill Ryden said. “She is so determined. She is in such good shape, and she has worked so hard.”

Ryden mentioned retirement in reference to Russell’s torn ACL, which caused her to miss parts of two seasons after the injury failed to heal correctly.

“I learned to appreciate everything out here a lot more ever since I got hurt,” Russell said. “It was a big life changing thing for me.”

Even after her injury, Russell remained positive for the teammates she consistently coaches and advises.

“She is definitely honest, which is good,” said junior Katie Matusik. “If you are having a bad day, she won’t be afraid to tell you to pick it up. She isn’t afraid to give you corrections.”

Russell is held in high regards by

the Wildcats. In fact, there was not one gymnast who could hold back an ear to ear smile when they heard her name.

“It’s really hard coming into a new team, and they are all so close here,” said freshman Jordan Williams.

“Miranda is really welcoming. She is kind of the mom of the team, and she brings us all together. It just really creates a family atmosphere.”

Russell isn’t quite sure what she’ll be doing once her career is over.

She is in the process of applying for Teach for America and will eventually apply to law school. If that doesn’t work out, Ryden has said he would love for her to come back and be a volunteer coach.

Russell’s teammates aren’t going to let her leave without some fun, as they plan their usual senior farewell tradition.

“We basically get a convertible or pickup truck and we decorate it with ribbons and streamers,” said sophomore Molly Quirk. “We drive around campus with (Miranda) in the back and honk and we are loud and obnoxious to try and draw attention (to show) that it’s her last meet and try and get some people to come watch.”

Arizona, currently ranked No. 24, still has the Pacific 10 Conference championships after this weekend and the post season after that.

“I would like to be remembered as being a good teammate and being a team player,” Russell said.

Senior Miranda Russell will compete in front of the McKale Center crowd for the final time this Friday night. Russell overcame a serious knee injury earlier in her career and head coach Bill Ryden said she’s pushed through it to make 2011 her best season yet.

Wildcats fend off comeback to extend season

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat What could’ve been the most heartbreaking season-ending loss for the Arizona women’s basketball team turned into sheer joy by game’s end, with the Wildcats securing a 90-89 win over the Oregon Ducks in the first round of the Pacific 10 Conference Tournament in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon.

The Wildcats (20-10, 10-8 Pac-10) were up by as many as 18 points, but a determined Ducks team (1317, 4-14 Pac-10) charged back in the

second half to lead the game until the final minute.

“I’m very happy to come out with the win,” head coach Niya Butts said. “Because in March, it’s about surviving and advancing.”

“We can’t dwell too much on what happened today. We have to get ready and move forward to tomorrow.”

Arizona led the first half, completely running over what looked like an exhausted Ducks team with its quick transition offense.

After already beating Oregon by 23 points in Eugene on Saturday, the 51-36 Wildcat halftime lead

into the locker room didn’t surprise anyone.

Coming back onto the floor, though, it looked like the teams had switched places.

“It was a tale of two halves,” Butts said. “Obviously, the first half was solid for us. We didn’t do a great job on the boards, but my anticipation was that we would come back out second half and really tighten up, but I think it got a little worse.”

The Ducks opened the second half hot and narrowed the deficit to 13 with 10:25 left to play.

Over the next two and a half minutes the Ducks took Arizona on

a 10-2 run, cutting the Arizona lead down to five.

The Ducks refused to let off of the gas pedal, jumping ahead 87-86 with 2:13 left to play.

Oregon maintained the lead until 14 seconds remained, when Arizona inbounded to Shanita Arnold who dished it down low to Soana Lucet for the go ahead lay-up.

Oregon’s Amanda Johnson led the charge for her team with 25 points and 11 rebounds.

For the Wildcats, Davellyn Whyte and Lucet each tallied 23 points.

Despite holding on for the victory, the Wildcats found out they are

not as invincible as they were finishing the regular season.

And with Southern California holding on to beat the Washington State Cougars 78-66, tonight’s contest between the Trojans and the Wildcats could not only have Pac10 implications but NCAA implications as well.

But for now, Butts is happy that her team advanced out of the first round.

“I’m proud of our girls,” Butts said. “We got stops when we needed to down the stretch, and that’s what its all about.”

Almost perfect Fowler retires first 13 batters in Wildcats’ 8-0 win over Creighton

By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Kenzie Fowler kept the Creighton Bluejays off the scoreboard and off the bases for almost the entire game in an 8-0 Arizona win on Wednesday at Hillenbrand Stadium.

The sophomore ace for the No. 4 Wildcats had a perfect game going through 4.1 innings before Creighton (7-10) first baseman Sammy Snygg hit a slow roller to second base.

Snygg made it to first safely, giving

the Bluejays their first and only hit of the ball game.

Fowler (13-1) finished with whiffed seven, bringing her total to 100 on the still young season. Fowler currently leads all Pacific 10 Conference pitchers in strikeout category. “(She) threw a great game,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “She’s at a point where she needs to ramp up some innings.”

On the offensive side, the Wildcats (20-2) were helped by two illegal pitch calls on Creighton’s Becca

Looking for redemption in Los Angeles

By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat In Arizona men’s basketball team’s last trip to Hollywood, the stage proved to be too much.

Two weeks ago, the Wildcats traveled to Los Angeles as the No. 10 team in the nation, but by the end of the trip, they looked more like an unranked team.

The Wildcats opened with a 65-57 loss to Southern California on Feb. 24 and ended it with a 71-49 blow out loss to UCLA in the last game at the “old” Pauley Pavilion.

“The last time, we left with two losses,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said.

“If we were honest with ourselves, we really got away from the things that make us a good team.”

Humbled by the last trip, the Wildcats are back in Los Angeles facing Oregon State in the quarterfinals of the Pacific 10 Conference tournament at Staples Center.

No. 16 Arizona, a lock for the NCAA tournament, is going into this afternoon’s game to validate its regular season Pac10 title.

“Nothing against the other teams,” forward Derrick Williams said. “Whoever wins the Pac-10 tournament goes to the big dance. It’s our job to stop that. We won the Pac-10 title, so we have to defend it and win the tournament. All the other teams have nothing to lose.”

With Arizona’s spot in the NCAA tournament secure, the Wildcats will have to match the intensity of desperate teams Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat Solomon Hill, right, acknowledged this week that anything can happen in the Pacific 10 Conference Tournament. whose only shot in March Madness is to The Wildcats, who are the No. 1 seed, will see that firsthand when they take on Oregon State, the ninth seed, win the Pac-10 tournament. this afternoon in Los Angeles after the Beavers upset Stanford on Wednesday.

“We have a lot teams in our conference that are playing well,” Miller said.

“There are really six teams that really have a lot at stake and are playing really good basketball.”

While most teams need to do well or win the tournament to reach the NCAAs, the Wildcats are one of the few teams that can lose and still be in the running.

Knowing that its name will be called on Selection Sunday, Arizona is susceptible to a let down this weekend.

“I don’t really worry about it nearly as much because we really have gone through it three weeks ago,” Miller said.

“If we’re going to lose this weekend, let’s do things the way we’ve done them all season long. If that’s not good enough, we’ll pack up and get ready for the next tournament.

“We learned our lesson in a big way (a few weeks ago). That’s to the credit of USC and UCLA,” he added. Arizona players know from their experience in last year’s Pac-10 tournament that although you beat a team in the regular season, nothing guarantees you a NCAA win.

“Last year we beat UCLA twice and they got us in the first round,” said forward Solomon Hill. “It’s an opportunity for anybody to get in the tournament.

You never know who’s going to make that push. It’s March Madness. You never know who’s going to come out on top.”

But regardless of the unexpected outcomes in March Madness, Miller ’s players won their first conference title last Saturday, and he’d like them to carry that momentum to a Pac-10 tournament title.

“It’s a great feeling to be a conference champion,” Miller said. “You want to

Golf keeps on swinging

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat Both the Arizona men’s and women’s golf teams hope to continue their winning ways during spring break as they head to Las Vegas and Hawaii, respectively.

In the two last invitationals, the men’s team has had drastically different results. The Wildcats placed first at the Anteater Invitational but fell to eighth place at the John Burns Invitational in Hawaii.

“We are making some progress,” said head coach Rick LaRose. “We are still trying to find our permanent line up. But some guys are starting to come around.”

The men are ranked No. 74 in the country due to underclassmen being less productive at the start of the year, giving the team a slow start.

“Erik (Oja) has a lot of talent. I think he is going to be a very good player eventually,” LaRose said of the lone freshman in the starting lineup.

“He is just a freshman with a lot to learn.”

The Wildcats will face six top-20 teams in Las Vegas for the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters starting on Friday.

“We just need to be able to compete in that level,” LaRose said. “That’s the best level in the

country.”

On the other end, the women are ranked No. 10 in the country coming off a first place finish and a second place finish in recent weeks.

Arizona’s second place finish came against No. 3 UCLA, but head coach Laura Ianello thinks that they could have easily won.

“UCLA did outplay us last week, we didn’t have our A game,” Ianello said. “Honestly if we would have played well, we would have beat UCLA. You can’t be too disappointed in second, but going forward we will see UCLA again and we will have to beat them.”

Ianello receives support this season from her upperclassmen who have dominated for the team thus far. Isabelle Boineau, Alejandra Llaneza and Margarita Ramos have been key factors in Ianello’s success in her first year at the helm.

“They are really helping Haley (Andreas) and Kyndall (Ardoin),” Ianello said. “It’s good to have those veterans who can deal with the pressure of the competition better than my first and second year girls.”

The Arizona women will participate in two invitationals over spring break as they head out to Hawaii for the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational on March 14 and San Diego for The Battle at the Rancho Bernardo Inn on March 20.
