Students protest tuition hike Sixth St. By Taylor Avey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA President Robert Shelton, Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Chris Nagata and Regent Rick Myers gathered with upward of 50 students and community members to hear testimony from across the state regarding the latest tuition and fee increases. “No student should be denied access to public education in Arizona because he cannot afford to pay for a gym membership, to pay for organic foods in the student union or to pay for plasma TVs in the library,” said Connor

Mendenhall, an economics senior, in response to mandatory fee increases. “I urge you to send a message to President Shelton and university administrators by rejecting non-essential, non academic fees … and I urge you to take your obligation seriously to restore the safeguards that once protected students like me from unessential and unnecessary fees.” The 18th Annual Arizona Board of Regents Tuition Hearing took place from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Harvill building room 211 on Monday. It served as an opportunity for students TUITION, page 7

dorm caused Rec flood By Michelle Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Student Recreation Center’s expansion is open to the public — again. The expansion opened around noon on Monday, according to Rocky Delarosa , a Recreation Services supervisor and classics senior. The mechanical room in the basement of the expansion flooded Sunday, causing the above ground center to be closed. A trench in the construction area on the new residence hall on Sixth Street and Highland Avenue was from where the water flowed into the basement, according to Melissa Dryden, senior program coordinator for UA Planning, Design & Construction. “It wasn’t a leak or a problem with the Student Recreation Center. It was caused by a leak of water that REC CENTER, page 5

Shelton reflects on presidential pressures By Timothy Glass ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

In the four years since he took the reins as UA president, Robert Shelton has had to navigate many stormy seas. There have been budget deficits, department mergers, staff and faculty layoffs, tuition hikes, negotiations with a difficult state and the curious case of Lute Olson’s on and off retirement. Shelton recently shared his thoughts on dealing with high-

powered decision-making and the pressures of his job.

You said you’re not sure why anyone would want to be a university administrator in this day. Why? These jobs right now have a lot more constraints than they have opportunities. The only reason to do these jobs is if you think you can make a difference. If you think you can move an institution — or a department, or a program, or a college — forward in ways that aid discovery of new knowledge … and you have to feel

like you have enough tools, enough resources — not just fiscal, but overall — to make a difference. And right now, it’s hard for people to find that. In your November State of the University address, you mentioned the constant criticism. Is that difficult to put up with? If you aren’t getting criticism, you aren’t making

The Faculty Senate voted to change several academic policies, including grade replacement opportunities, during its meeting on Monday. The first item passed was a proposed change to the policy concerning classes with pass/fail options for graduate students. Under the new policy, graduate students would be allowed to use the pass/fail option for courses that are part of their major program as opposed to only elective courses. “Graduate students are restricted to only having this option for non-major courses,” said Andrew Carnie, a UA linguistics professor.“This would change the policy and give power to individual colleges to determine which courses would be available for pass/fail.” The change also eliminated the stipulation that pass/fail courses do not count toward the minimum number of credits required for a graduate degree. The senate approved sweeping changes to the UA’s GRO policy. The amendments limit GRO applications to students who have completed fewer than 60 university credits. The changes also state that graduate students will not be able to apply for GROs. “Most universities have some sort SENATE, page 5

But I like to look at pictures of kittens. You don’t watch much television? Why is that? I don’t own one. You don’t own a television? I would be lost. Why don’t you own one? I live in the dorms. OK. I can see that. But wait, you like to look at pictures of kittens? So, do you look at these kittens on your computer? Yeah. Blogs. Wait, there are blogs devoted to pictures of kittens on the Internet? Yeah. Haven’t you ever heard of Cute Overload? It’s a blog about kittens? They have lots of cute stuff. I see.

Four lost snowboarders spend night at Maine resort CARRABASSETT VALLEY, Maine— Four teenage snowboarders who got lost at the Sugarloaf Mountain ski resort survived a cold night in dense woods and deep snow — despite their failure to start a fire by lighting a dollar bill — by continually moving around to stay warm. The teens were rescued Monday morning after going out of bounds late Sunday afternoon in an area known as the snowfields, a large section of ungroomed expert terrain on

the mountain’s backside. With snow falling and winds howling, the group stayed warm by pacing around through the overnight hours, Mark Adams, Sugarloaf ski patrol director, said he was told by ski patrol members who helped find them. At one point, the teens unsuccessfully tried to start a fire by burning the money, he said. “They were fortunate it wasn’t brutally cold,” Adams said. “We’ve had people spend the night out there in

Lil’ Wayne set to test how jails handle celebs

NEWYORK — Lil Wayne may be a self-professed gangsta with the gunshot wound to prove it, but he’s made plenty clear how he feels about doing time behind bars. “I’d rather be pushin’ flowers,” he raps in 2008’s “A Milli,” “than to be in the pen sharin’showers.” He might have to get used to it. At the apex of a career that has made him one of music’s biggest sellers, the Grammy-winning artist is expected to start a yearlong jail term Tuesday after pleading guilty in a New York City gun case. It would make him the latest in a string of rappers to go to jail after rising to fame — and the Lil’ Wayne latest celebrity inmate to test law enforcement officials’ ability to draw the line between providing special treatment and recognizing potential risks to high-profile convicts. “It’s a challenge,” said Martin Horn, a former head of the New York City jails, where Lil Wayne’s plea agreement calls for him to serve his sentence. “It’s not about setting (a celebrity) on a bed of roses, but it is about an obligation to every inmate to keep him safe.” For now, jail officials say only that they will assess the multiplatinum-selling Lil Wayne as they do every other new arrival and find an appropriate place for him among the city’s roughly 13,000 inmates. He might follow the path of rapper Foxy Brown, who spent about eight months in 2007 and 2008 in city jails on a probation violation after pleading guilty to assault in a fracas at a nail salon. Because of threats against her, she was held largely in protective custody in a cell of her own, with access to a day room, said Horn. Defense lawyer Stacey Richman said she intends to ask for protective custody for Lil Wayne, as well as for attention to dental problems that postponed his sentencing by two weeks. “If Wayne had his druthers, he would not be asking for anything for himself,”Richman said, but she said she was concerned for his health and safety. Some jail officials prefer to hold even famous convicts in circumstances as ordinary as possible — a desire the inmates sometimes share. Prison consultant Herbert J. Hoelter, whose clients have included epic fraudster Bernard Madoff and NFL quarterback Michael Vick, generally tells clients not to request anything special. Otherwise, “you’ll be viewed by other inmates and the prison system as thinking that you’re ‘more deserving,’” he says. Lil Wayne, 27, pleaded guilty in October to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, admitting having a loaded gun on his tour bus in July 2007. He could end up serving only about eight months with good behavior. — The Associated Press

Football pumps up blood drive By Matt Lewis Arizona Daily Wildcat The American Red Cross blood drive today will see some familiar faces, including Wilbur, Wilma and UA football players and coaches. The drive goes from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center South Ballroom. They are hoping to get about 250 pints of blood at today’s blood drive. Each donation is one pint. The Southern Arizona American Red Cross has a goal of getting 300 pints of blood per day for Southern Arizona, which “adequately supplies community hospitals,” according to Cori Friezen, donor recruitment representative for American Red Cross Arizona region. Every donor will receive a free pair of flip-flops, and Zona Zoo members can receive 12 points for donating but must bring their CatCards. There will also be prize giveaways ever hour and 25 minutes in honor

of the UA’s 125th birthday, which is today. Prizes include T-shirts from Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the athletic department, game room discount cards and movie theater discounts. Wilbur and Wilma will be there from 8 to 9 a.m. Players and coaches from the football team will be there from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. thanking students for donating. “We’re hoping that with all the incentives that are happening and just the fun and environment of it, it’ll entice a lot of people to come out,” Friezen said.“We’re bringing a lot more staff and equipment than we ever have at the U of A, so we’re going to try to make it extremely easy and convenient for people to kind of just get in and get out with the donation process.” Friezen urges students to drink lots of water and eat a good meal before donating. “Without blood drives, we can’t provide enough blood for the hospitals,” Friezen said. “U of A has

been such a great supporter and partner with us. The majority of the time, we are highly successful when we come to the university because of the students and great faculty and staff that are able to give up a little bit of their time to come and donate.”

IF YOU GO

What: American Red Cross blood drive Where: Student Union Memorial Center South Ballroom When: Today 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wilbur and Wilma will be there from 8 - 9:00 a.m. Players and coaches from the football team will be there from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Prizes include T-shirts, game room discount cards, movie theater discounts and more.

Tucson considers taxing UA students Timothy Galaz/Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Recycle Mania banner outside the entrance of La Paz Residence Hall barely hangs on to the walls. The UA has recycled about 45 percent this year of what it did last year.

Recycling falls short By Bethany Barnes Arizona Daily Wildcat

The UA is recycling about 45 percent less than during last year’s Recycle Mania. The UA as a whole had recycled 483,444 pounds by week five last year. This year it has recycled 265,548 pounds. Last year, the UA recycled 1,024,668 pounds during Recycle Mania and won fourth place in the Gorilla prize competition, which recognizes schools with the highest amount of recyclables by weight. This year the UA is ranked 25th out of 343 universities. But this ranking might not be as dismal as it appears. According to the Recycle Mania Web site, the UA has recycled 171,768 pounds marking it at 25. However, according to its week-by-week results, the UA has recycled 265,548, which should put the UA in seventh instead of 25th place. The Gorilla prize counts what the entire campus recycles during Recycle Mania as

opposed to just the residence halls. Last year was the UA’s first year competing for the Gorilla prize. Before that, only the residence halls’ recycling totals were counted during the event. Andrea Alley, an elementary education sophomore who lives in La Paz Residence Hall, said that she had not heard about Recycle Mania. Alley said she gets so many flyers, it’s hard to stay aware and keep track. Susie Bishara, a family studies and human development junior, said she thought recycling on campus is easy. Bishara said she recycles both on and off campus but was unaware Recycle Mania involves the entire campus and not just the residence halls. Recycle Mania will end on March 27. The UA needs to recycle 759,120 more pounds by then to match last year’s numbers.

By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat The UA might end up paying for some of Tucson’s debt through taxes. After new budgets were set by the Tucson City Council,recommendations to cover the rest of Tucson’s projected $33 million budget shortfall include taxing stores from which UA students purchase goods on campus. The initiative was included in City Manager Mike Letcher’s appendix to the agenda for the council’s meeting on Feb. 23. One of the suggestions included charging new taxes to UA store sales. The rationale is that purchases would cover costs of services provided by the city to the UA. “The emphasis is what we can cut back, where we can,”said Richard Putz, revenue administrator for the City of Tucson. “It’s pretty clear that the cities can’t tax states, so I don’t think there is any money to be had there.” Board of Regents v. City of Tempe, an Arizona court case from 1960, decided that a city, such as Tempe, could not tax a state organization from which it gets its governance. The City of Tempe, at the time, was facing similar budget problems. The city tried to enact similar taxing measures

at Arizona State University, so legal precedent sides in favor of the UA. Putz noted that he thinks taxes on businesses would go against the council’s wishes to “promote a business-friendly atmosphere.” He also said the recommendations are a far-reaching step to try and deal with the inevitable: cuts to more programs. “Those aren’t real moneymakers. There’s not a whole lot of things to do except maybe cut more things,”Putz said. The City of Tucson’s budget department projected the budget shortfall and formulated many of the recommendations laid out in the proposal, despite the council’s aim to recoup money through land sales. Michael Carson of the public relations office for the City of Tucson noted that these recommendations remain unconstitutional under existing state law, unless separately approved by the Arizona Board of Regents. “These (recommendations) from the city manager’s office were based on projections for future budgets … (and) put a whole slew of things on the table,” Carson said. Katie Paquet, the ABOR associate executive director for public affairs and external relations, said the general council had little comment for the proposal at hand, as it’s just a

recommendation. Only after further revision by the legal department and the general council could the board decide whether or not to approve that kind of request, Paquet said. Other city recommendations included cutting city employee hours, implementing new food sales taxes and creating a jail district to cut back on city costs and boost new revenues. Debby Shively, the director of UofA Bookstores, sees this recommendation as an all-around negative for the Bookstore, one of the major UA stores on campus. “It would place a very huge burden on the students,” Shively said. “We would not raise textbook costs, but the students would have to pay that 2 percent at the register.” Shively noted it would be disheartening with the work the bookstore has done with ASUA and textbook retailers to reduce prices. This recommendation was not voted on or discussed at the last meeting. The next city council meeting is March 9 at 5:30 p.m.

No attitude for altitude I

n the modern world, seeing or hearing a few planes is normal. Plus, UA’s campus is only about eight miles away from the Tucson International Airport and seven miles away from the Davis-Monthan Miranda Butler Air Force Base, so we expect Columnist airplane activity to be a part of our daily lives. But, doesn’t it seem like there’s been extra overhead activity during these past few weeks? Many students have started to notice that, recently, there have been more military planes in the air than usual. These flights seem louder, more frequent and even closer to the ground than we’re used to. At first, this kind of noise is annoying. Sometimes, a plane is so powerful that it flies over our campus and disrupts classrooms for a moment. The walls shake slightly, and professors raise their voices to speak over the loud engines. Likewise, students walking across the UA Mall stop and look up in the air as several military planes drone across the sky in formation. And, if you’re on the phone when a plane passes overhead, the person on the other end will surely comment or ask what the commotion was about. But what’s up with the increase in these kinds of events lately? In an e-mail interview last week, Capt. Stacie Shafran, a chief of the U.S. Air Force and representative for DavisMonthan Air Force Base, offered important information concerning the recent activity. Her explanation is helpful to see what’s really going on beyond just what we see and hear. As Safron explained, the Air Force recognizes Tucson as one of the most ideal places to train its pilots. First, the terrain of southern Arizona is very similar to deployment areas like Iraq and Afghanistan.Similarly, the weather is almost always ideal. Also, Tucson’s airspace is relatively open — meaning it’s much less populated by commercial aircrafts than other areas. And finally, the Davis-Monthan Base is very close to an important training field called Barry M. Goldwater Range. Shafran tells us that,“With all those factors considered, it would be really difficult to replicate this level of training at any other location.” So, the conditions are ideal. But for what kind of training? And why is there more of it now? Shafran explains,“Especially in the winter months, the 162nd Air National Guard’s Operation Snowbird is very active.”This program opens up Davis-Monthan airfield to visiting air forces from other nations. A recent press release describes Operation Snowbird more specifically: from February until March, planes from the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force will be operating in Tucson. This training is vital preparation for upcoming deployments. Operation Snowbird may also be the reason that noise levels are so much higher right now. Shafran describes that the noise level we experience on any given day is subjective, depending on what kinds of planes are being trained at the time. In fact, Davis-Monthan’s primary mission is to train A-10 pilots, and A-10 planes are only as loud as commercial airliners. However, because of Operation Snowbird,“visiting units bring whatever aircrafts they normally fly — they just use our airfield. It could be F-16s, F-15s or even European jets like the French Mirage or British Tornado.”These aircrafts, as well as some others that are trained at Davis-Monthan, tend to be much louder. Shafran clarifies that,“because their engines are built for heavy duty, fast and agile modern air warfare, they generate a lot of power. More power equals more noise.” In this way, loud noise may make the planes seem much lower than they are. But we can rest assured,“There’s no reason why jets would be flying very close to the ground. Except in extraordinary circumstances, the aircraft will always be flying above 1,000 feet.” In addition, Shafran is sure to note that any air force training is always safe for the surrounding communities. She states,“In all cases, the planes you see soaring over Tucson are piloted by highly disciplined individuals who are already qualified to fly after completing months of intense training.” With all of this information in mind, we can start to realize that there is a much larger picture at hand. It’s obvious that our city, community and university are safe from any air force activity going on at Davis-Monthan. And although we experience slight disturbances on occasion, Tucson’s Air Force Base is in the middle of some serious training, especially during this month. The work they do is vital to the U.S. Air Force and even allies in other countries. Sure, we may be momentarily interrupted by the overhead activity, but it’s for a good reason. —Miranda Butler is a creative writing sophomore. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Letters to the editor Don’t drop the baton on track coverage

In today’s paper, I was looking forward to reading about all the accomplishments of the Arizona men and women’s track and field team this weekend in Seattle, so, when I finally found the article“Cats climb high at Mt. Pacs”written by Galo Mejia, I was somewhat disappointed. As a member of the team, I would like to take time to give recognition to some of those who received none. Not only did Mejia fail to mention numerous achievements, but they also printed LaTisha Holden’s win incorrectly. She got fourth in the 60-meters and won the 60m HURDLES (her main event). Also, Edgar Rivera-Morales won the men’s high jump with Nick Ross finishing right behind him in second. Chris Titsworth had his last collegiate performance in the 60m high hurdles placing third. Our women’s shot-put throwers finished first, second, fourth, and fifth, giving us a huge point advantage. Rob Gire was seeded tenth in men’s shot-put and ended up finishing fifth with an improvement of a foot. Tomaz Bogovic PR’d (personal record) and finished fifth in the men’s weight throw. Mohammed Ige placed third in the 5-kilometer and seventh in the 3k. Abdi Hassan fell down in the 1500m, got up and still managed to finish seventh. Hannah Moen had an 8 second PR and placed second in the 3k. While I appreciate that track and field is at least getting mentioned in the paper, our sport is often overlooked and with as many accomplishments as we achieved this past weekend, I feel that more should have been said. Thank you for shedding some light on our sport and please continue to do so throughout the outdoor season. Taylor Bush Pre-physiology junior

Advancing justice

In reply to Anna Swenson’s column, I believe that Swenson has grossly underestimated the role that alcohol plays in cases of sexual assault or rape. She acridly denounces the claims advanced by another journalist, who (I believe rightly) commented that in a state of inebriation, alcohol must be allotted to playing at least a

partial role in a situation involving sexual assault. First, the percentage of false accusations (alarmingly) range anywhere from 1.5 to 90 percent. In no way does the United States Department of Justice represent totality or authority; in an article by Dr. Bruce Gross, an exhaustive number of studies have demonstrated that there is wild inconsistency in the variation of reported claims. Furthermore, many of the cases (near 50 percent) involved alcohol of some sort. In studies by Respecting Accuracy in Domestic Abuse Reporting, rape cases among Air Force personnel were reported as a staggering 60 percent being false, only recanted after polygraph tests were suggested. Another example indicated that among two large Midwestern universities, 50 percent of charges were later found to be false. And finally, in a study by that same Justice Department, 25 percent of cases were found to be falsely claimed and exonerated based on later evidence, after the alleged perpetrators served an average of seven years in prison. I could go on, but for the sake of brevity, I think I have made my point. Swenson’s argument hinges on brushing off alcohol as being an active factor in rape allegations. Her claim that a man or woman being drunk should have no bearing on their actions, likening it to claiming that likewise, a person who is robbed or beat up are likewise not responsible. Should we take that logic a step further and claim that a drunk driver should not be held for vehicular homicide or manslaughter, because he was not responsible for his actions? I would venture to say most people would say no. Similarly, alcohol should have a bearing on rape allegations. A person who voluntarily drinks (and I emphasize voluntary) should be held in partial responsibility. Sexual assault is a horrific reality. But men or women should not be allowed to claim non-consensual sex merely because alcohol by either or both parties was involved. Swenson’s argument is that consigning blame to the victim does little to advance justice, and she is right. But consigning blame holistically to the aggressor when there are mitigating factors that limit judgment may send an innocent, though thoroughly foolish, person to prison and permanently brand him with a scarlet letter. This, like victimizing the victim, is also not right and should be accounted for. Matt Winter History graduate student

Comments from dailywildcat.com On ‘Editorial: Issues to watch,’ March 1

As regards the ABOR meeting: … Several observations: In April of 2002, during Peter Likins tenure at the UA, the in-state tuition was $2,490 while the out-of-state was $10,356. For eight consecutive years, there have been increases to where it is now $7,224 and $23,276 respectively — this an in-state increase of almost 300 percent since 2002, plus a serious increase in special fees. Twice dishonest. President Robert Shelton and the Board of Regents are acting like a fifth column in their unlawful violation of Arizona’s constitution’s“Nearly free as possible”clause. They have no authority to be doing what they’re doing. The process of increasing tuition has degenerated into a tax levy — again, which these individuals have no authority to be doing — this power properly belonging to our Arizona legislature. Governor Jan Brewer’s constant diatribe that the state is short of tax dollars does not take into account the recently complete $27 million Student Recreation Center or the enormous expenditure of construction on the UA campus for the last six years, not to mention the ridiculous salaries paid to athletic coaches. Whatever Shelton’s claims, the school is not short on money. They don’t need people like Shelton or Michael Crow (over at Arizona State University) or the Board of Regents — who, with their mechanical and wind-up hearts — are all but flailing the students alive. Not to mention the loan officers who are in the process of precipitating another foreclosure crisis, loaning high dollar sums to the students, knowing that the money will never be paid back. And then there are the students who are comatose, inebriated with borrowed money who don’t seem to care what’s being done to them — notwithstanding the students in the University of California system who protested en masse a 32 percent increase in tuition in November of 2009. If the stones could cry, they would. Michael J. Beisch

… In the aftermath of a natural catastrophe, this matters: To call Chile a democracy is another way of saying that Chile is a country whose political leaders have to take voters’concerns into account … In the coming months, the state may not be able to help all of the poor citizens who have suffered, but it cannot ignore all of them indefinitely either.” The relative need, in terms of the country’s wealth and ability to react to a disaster, may well be less in Chile. But every person who asserts Chile’s strengths highlights the weaknesses of Haiti that existed before the earthquake and will exist long after. As The Washington Post reported, Transparency International ranks the index of corruption in Chile at 25, only six spots below the United States. Haiti ranks at No. 168. There were obviously problems in Haiti before this disaster. The assumption that Haiti needs the aid more because of the political and economic situation of that country is to acknowledge what few would before the earthquake: corruption and poverty are at astronomical levels in this half-island nation not so far off the coast of Florida. It is not the responsibility of the United States to fix the problems of Haiti. But it is fair to assume that the people of Haiti needed aid before the quake that left 230,000 dead. To delay or avoid giving aid to the people of Chile because their democracy works illuminates by contrast how profoundly the system of government in Haiti does not. It will take more than texting“poverty”or“corruption”to 90999, but the greatest problems that plague Haiti are far from geological. —Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English.

Changes may harm student veterans

of academic forgiveness,” said James Harwood, a UA communication professor. “I think the mood of the undergraduate college for this amendment was not to overly disadvantage students, but also to have some more structure to the policy.” Harwood also said the additional restrictions are beneficial for class availability. “What we need to do is try to develop a policy which is consistent with our peers,” Harwood said. “A lot of seats in lower-level classes are being taken up by upper-level students looking to improve their grades.” According to statistics in the amendment, an average of 1,650 class seats were filled by GRO seekers from 2005 to 2007. The senate also approved, with three dissentions, changes to the guidelines and policies for university “success” courses. Success courses are defined as any course that helps a UA student make a successful transition to the university from another level of education, from undergraduate programs to graduate programs or careers. These include courses that aid students in selfexploration or major exploration, or provide students with tools to succeed in their major. The new guidelines imposed by the senate amendment place a three-credit limit on the number of these courses applied toward a

student’s degree. “The key policy issue here is not that these kind of classes aren’t important, because we know they are,” Harwood said. “But the question we were facing was, do we want 10 percent of a student’s undergrad degree to be made up of these kind of classes?” There were some who raised objections to the credit limit. UA President Robert Shelton spoke of how limiting the courses might negatively affect military veterans enrolled as students. “Studies around the country have shown that the return rate of these types of individuals the first year is abysmal, about 3 percent,” Shelton said. “We have a VETS (Veterans Education and Transition Services) center that offers three classes of this ilk and when those classes are taken in one semester, or over two, the rate of return has gone up to about 96 percent.” Despite the implications of the proposal, there is no concrete decision on which courses would be counted as success classes. “I just want to stress that if a course is required for a student’s major it will not be affected by this policy,” said Celeste Pardee, an associate in the Office of Academic Affairs. Also at the meeting, the senate approved a new engineering management masters degree program at the UA.

Repairs, damages paid by insurance

got into the utility tunnel that goes to the Student Recreation Center,” Dryden said. The flooding was limited to the mechanical room, and the water was pumped out. Mechanics spent Monday checking each machine for damages. Costs hadn’t been determined as of press time. “They were just removing some of the equipment, seeing what could be repaired and what should be replaced,” Dryden said. While the expansion is reopened, it is not completely repaired. “It’s not at 100 percent. They were able to reopen the building today at

noon but they are still working on some of the equipment that operates the air handlers that operate heat for building,” Dryden said. Officials hope everything will be replaced and repaired within two to three weeks. The UA will not be paying for the repairs. “It was something that will be covered by the insurance of the contractor of the other project (Sixth Street Residence Hall),” Dryden said. “The accidental cause of the other project just happened to affect the Student Recreation Center building.”

any decisions at all. So, that’s not the worrisome part. The worrisome part for us right now is whether the state has the courage of leadership to pull us out of the financial mess that we’re in now. And I’m worried about that. I’m not worried about day-to-day budgets. We can deal with that. But we need people who are going to make hard decisions at the state level, and what I want to see in those hard decisions is that they value education, K-12 and higher ed. Do you get angry or frustrated by these problems? I think what really disturbs me is when people distort facts or hide the facts or play fast and loose with factual information.You can make multiple interpretations of the same information, but you should at least be honest and put factual information out there for everybody to see. When somebody is trying to conceal something or they’re misrepresenting the data — there’s my science background coming in — it just drives me crazy. Is your job isolating? I don’t feel isolated from people. I think there’s a lot of contact in here. I see students all the time. I’ll go down and have lunch with them sometimes in the Union, write letters of reference for students that I’ve known and work(ed) with. I think it’s a point to guard against, being isolated, just spending time in this room. That’s not good. The days get pretty filled up, but I try to get out a couple times a week, talking to people, going to different events that are scheduled. What’s a typical day? I probably get here by 7:30 (a.m.) and probably leave by 6:30 (p.m.). But I’ll bet on the average four nights a week, maybe five, there’s some event. A dinner at our house for major supporters or donors, there are talks to (be) given, legislators to meet. How do you combat the toll that these demands claim on you and your family? I’m fortunate in this case that the children are all away from home. I can’t imagine doing this job with small kids at

home. My wife is very self-sufficient. She has her own career, which she has had to reinvent a number of times. She now has a consulting business, so in that sense, our lives are simplified. But what you do need, at least I need, is periodically just to recharge your batteries. And we do that sometimes at home … just have a glass of wine and sit out and look at the lights of Tucson. I enjoy going to sporting

events, believe it or not, that’s relaxation. This last summer, we took nine days (off) and went up to the Canadian Rockies and did a little hiking. Doing something physical is very important. How about relaxing with Facebook? No. It seems to me that it’s sort of intrusive into the student regime, but no, I don’t have a Facebook.

policebeat By Bridgette Doran Arizona Daily Wildcat

Joint smokers let off with referral A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on bike patrol on Thursday at 10:52 p.m. on the east side of the Modern Languages building, when he smelled marijuana. The officer could see two men on the south side of the Education building and could tell the smell was coming from them. As the officer walked toward the men, they turned and started quickly walking eastward. When the officer caught up with them and asked them to stop, they stopped and were identified as UA students by Arizona driver’s licenses. The men said that they knew nothing about the smell of marijuana, that they did not have anything on them and that they were just walking around. When the officer searched the place they had been, he found a marijuana cigarette still burning. He asked the men separately about the marijuana cigarette. The first man he spoke with said, “I’m not going to lie. (We) walked from Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall and were smoking a marijuana cigarette when you saw us.” The officer asked the man if he had anything else on him, and he said he did not and that the officer could search him if he wanted. When the officer searched his pockets, he found a package of Zig Zag rolling papers and told the man the papers were considered paraphernalia. The other man told the officer a similar story and added that they dropped the marijuana cigarette so they would not get caught. Both men said they did not know where they got the marijuana. The officer told the men they would not be arrested for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia but that a Code of Conduct referral would be sent to the Dean of Students. The men were then allowed to leave. The marijuana cigarette was submitted for testing and then placed into property as evidence.

‘Hulk’ throws down over water cooler Three UAPD officers arrived at the Coronado Residence Hall on Thursday at 7:13 p.m. because of reports that a student felt threatened by her roommate. When the officer got to the dorm, he met with one of the women in the lobby. She said that her roommate was in the process of moving out of their room because they did not get along. The argument started when the two women were talking about which items the roommate would be taking; they could not peaceably decide on who would keep the Sparkletts water cooler. The woman said that her roommate began to throw a fit when the woman would not allow her roommate to take the cooler because they had both contributed money to its rental. According to the woman, the roommate becomes angry often and acts like“the Hulk”when she gets mad. The roommate, according to the woman, picked up a sweatshirt with clenched fists, held it over her head. Then, the woman yelled,“What are you going to do, hit me?” At this point, the roommate threw the sweatshirt down on the bed, and the woman left the room because she thought her roommate might hit her. When the officer spoke with the roommate, she said that she had just gotten out of the shower and that the argument started while she was only wearing a towel. She first told the officer that she did not know why she picked up the sweatshirt but then stated she was trying to put it on. The officer asked her why she was going to put on the sweatshirt if she was only wearing a towel, and the woman changed her story again and said that she picked it up with clenched fists because she angry. However, she told the officer she never planned on hitting her roommate. The woman was arrested for disorderly conduct, domestic violence, threats and intimidation. The officers took the woman to Pima County Jail, and the roommate filled out a voluntary statement about the incident and was issued her victim’s rights.

Tree vandal validated A UA employee called UAPD on Thursday at 12:39 p.m. to report damage done to several trees near the Upper Second Gate on Tumamoc Hill. The woman told the officer that she had received an e-mail from another UA employee about the damage. The e-mail was forwarded to the officer. The officer thought the e-mail was not exactly clear and called the man who had sent it. The employee said the trees are natural in the area but did not hold much historical significance. The man also told the officer that the tree branches looked as if they had been torn off purposefully, but it might have been done with good intentions because the trees could have had overhanging branches in the road. Both employees were unsure about when the incident may have happened. There are no witnesses.

A UA student and SafeRide driver called UAPD on Wednesday at 9:32 p.m. to report some marijuana found. The driver told the officer that he was doing an inspection of the car after his three-hour shift ended and found a small amount of marijuana on the floorboard of the passenger side. The man told the officer that he had had several passengers in the car during his shift and did not know to whom the marijuana belonged but wanted the incident reported. SafeRide does not keep a log of the names of its riders, so there are no suspects. The 3.1 grams of marijuana were collected and submitted into property as evidence eligible for destruction.

TUITION

continued from page 1

Fee increases debated across AZ

to address their regents and campus officials about concerns over the increasing cost of education in the state of Arizona. The public forum was video streamed to each of the three state universities and the surrounding cohort universities including Arizona State University Downtown, ASU Tempe, ASU West, ASU Polytechnic, Northern Arizona University-Yuma, UA South and UA Science and Technology Park. Throughout the forum, the camera rotated from school to school, giving students at each site an opportunity to speak. Each speaker was given two minutes to offer his or her opinion. Before students were allowed the chance to speak, Shelton provided a summary of his proposed tuition and mandatory fee increases. More than a week ago Shelton submitted a formal proposal to increase tuition by $1,450 for in-state students. This would bring the total to $7,224 for undergraduates and $8,014 for graduate students. Shelton proposed a $2,000 increase for non-resident students, bringing the total to $22,983 for undergraduates and $23,376 for graduate students. He also proposed a $24 sustainability fee, a $306 Campus Health Service and Student Recreation fee and a $335 Library Information fee. Lon Huber, chairman for the UA

Students Advancing Green Energy Fund program for sustainability, and a first year graduate student in the Eller College of Business, was the first UA student to speak. He argued the cost of electricity is becoming a heavy burden for students and the proposed sustainability fee would be used to transform the UA into a “cutting edge living and learning laboratory.” Elma Delic, newly appointed chair for the Arizona Students’ Association, urged regents to consider the burden the increased tuition and fees will have on struggling Arizona families. Early in the forum, Nagata asked Shelton and the regents to consider three factors in their decision to increase tuition and fees: affordability, transparency and shared governance. Jonathan Garcia, a pre-law and criminal justice major, gave a compelling and teary-eyed speech about the struggles he has faced to stay in school. “It’s not easy,” Garcia said.“I’m here to represent low income students.” Garcia said both of his parents are disabled and unable to pay for his education, forcing him to not only find the means to pay for his education but to also help his family survive. Emily Fritze, ASUA executive vice president, told regents the UA “needs quality that matches what (the students) are willing to pay at this time.” “The university is in a tough situation

… however, I would like to make the point that as we continue to increase tuition and fees … we are sending the message to the state legislature that they do not have a responsibility to fund higher education in this state,” Fritze said. While the overwhelming majority of students asked for tuition and fee decreases, Darian Douglas, a music education sophomore, asked for a fee increase of $300 to pay for tuning and repairs to instruments, current music software, better classroom technology, the hiring of more faculty and new equipment. “Listening to music is just as vital as creating it,” Douglas said. After the forum, Shelton said he is driven by facts and data but took five pages of notes and plans to look at both before weighing his decision. “These are always informative,” Shelton said in regard to the public hearing.“I take these seriously.” To maintain access and quality, the university has to come up with $60 million as a result of state budget cuts to education, he added. “Our proposals here get us a little over half way,”Shelton said.“The trend is worrisome, I agree (but) I feel we’ve cut as far as we can go.” The ABOR will host its next meeting at the UA on March 11 to further discuss and vote on tuition and mandatory fee increases.

Arizona speed cameras incite a small-scale revolt By Nicole Santa Cruz Los Angeles Times PHOENIX — Arizonans drive long distances on their highways, and they like to do it fast. But since the Grand Canyon State began enforcing speed limits with roadside cameras, motorists are raging against the machines: They have blocked out the lenses with Post-it notes or Silly String. During the Christmas holidays, they covered the cameras with boxes, complete with wrapping paper. One dissenting citizen went after a camera with a pick ax. Arizona is the only state to implement “photo enforcement,” as it’s known, on major highways, according to the nonprofit Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In Arizona the cameras have incited a mini revolt. But from October 2008, when the program began, to October 2009, the cameras generated about $19 million for the state’s cash-strapped general fund, according to a report on photo radar released by the Arizona Office of the Auditor General last month. As of September, only 38 percent of issued violations were paid, the report said. This doesn’t mean the program lacks defenders. The number of fatal collisions investigated on state highways in

2009 was the lowest in 15 years. Critics say the program was designed to encourage people to pay the fine and not fight their violations. That hasn’t stopped people from wanting their day in court. About half of the total violations issued are still pending because people have ignored the tickets or have requested hearings to challenge them, according to the state Department of Public Safety. Among the dissenters fighting photo enforcement are members of a citizens group, the Arizona Citizens Against Photo Radar. In Maricopa County — where 92 percent of Arizona’s violations occur — volunteers have been on the streets for about a year, gathering signatures for a 2010 ballot initiative to remove the cameras. The Arizona Legislature is considering multiple bills to alter or end the photo enforcement system. Gov. Jan Brewer is encouraging the Legislature to place a referendum on the November ballot — so voters can decide whether to scrap the system. Another dissenter is John Keegan, a judge for the Arrowhead Justice Court, who has called the cameras a constitutional violation. He rejects every photo radar ticket that comes before him. So far, Keegan says, he’s dismissed more than 7,000 violations, worth more than $1 million.

Defeating her demons

Arizona assistant coach inspires team through cancer struggle

PAC-10 HOOPS POWER RANKINGS

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

erseverance is a necessary human trait. Without it, we fall and fail to stand again, we concede in times of hardship and are unable to continue with life’s ultimate goals. Perseverance takes courage, the will to fight, and most importantly, the foresight that a brighter future is ahead. Arizona women’s basketball assistant coach Sue Darling has been dealt a few bad hands, but her perseverance led to the biggest accomplishment of her life. She is a survivor. On Feb. 6, 2002, Darling was diagnosed with breast cancer while living in Denver. Until her bout with the disease, Darling had been a coach for 20 years and had always lived every day to its fullest. “My whole life I’ve been in ‘thrive’ mode,” Darling said.“You go out, you play basketball, you go to college and you’re thriving. But at that point, I had to take a step back and just take it one day at a time.” Darling went into survival mode. She had to face each day as it came to her during a year of treatment. It was hard for her not to look toward the coming days and months, but she knew she had to stay set on beating the disease day by day. The hardships of her condition, however, also made her stronger. “(Cancer) changes everything.” Darling said.“It changes basketball, it changes life and it changes how you view your relationships. It’s one of those things where it’s a life-altering experience.” Despite being in survival mode, she took a job offer with Northwestern University as an assistant basketball coach and decided to forgo the rest of her treatment in Denver, instead electing to finish the second half of it in Chicago. Colin Darland/Arizona Daily Wildcat But her return to basketball was Arizona basketball assistant coach Sue Darling confers with head coach Niya Butts during Arizona’s short-lived; she soon realized that while 73-50 victory over California State, Northridge. Darling, a breast cancer survivor, found a renewed love of struggling with cancer, maybe basketball coaching after she beat her disease. wasn’t the only option for her. She decided to become a police officer. I’m really passionate about.’” Darling returned the UA, her alma mater, “I got to a point where I was like,‘Why am Even though her time as a police officer two years ago to take an assistant coaching I a basketball coach?’and I couldn’t remember was fulfilling, it made her realize that position under head coach Niya Butts. why,”she said.“You know, you don’t want to coaching basketball was truly what she think about dying, but you say to yourself,‘I DARLING, page 9 was meant to do. don’t want to die without figuring out what

Pink for perseverance In 2007, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association created the “Pink Zone,” an organization spearheaded by Kay Yow, a breast cancer survivor and the former head coach at North Carolina State University, to raise breast cancer awareness in college campuses and communities throughout the nation. The Arizona Wildcats have been part of the “think pink” initiative since its inception and have held their now-annual “Pink Zone”

game for the last three years. This year’s game was held on Feb. 16, a little more than four years since Darling’s original diagnosis, during a home contest against the Cal State Northridge Matadors. The Wildcats came into the game donning pink headbands with the insignia “SD” on them in honor of Darling. It meant a lot to her, but the reason behind wearing pink is the most meaningful.

“There are obviously a lot of women, you know, people have had aunts and grandmothers who have been affected by breast cancer, so I think it’s a big deal,” Darling said. “But there are also a lot of basketball coaches that have been affected by breast cancer. My team, they all know somebody, but also to have a coach that had breast cancer, it makes it a little different for those kids.”

Baseball hosts Runnin’ Rebels By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT With 17 freshmen and 21 newcomers on the Arizona baseball roster, five games isn’t nearly enough time for head coach Andy Lopez and his staff to see what type of team they have. The Wildcats (3-2) play 18 games in the next 23 days starting with University of Nevada, Las Vegas tonight at 5 p.m. and tomorrow at 1 p.m. at Frank Sancet Stadium. Lopez and his staff should have almost all the answers they are looking for from the youngest team in the Pacific 10 Conference. “We’re going to find out a lot in the next few weeks because we’re going to be playing five games a week,” Lopez said. “Honestly, for a young team like we have right now, it’s going to answer a lot of questions that don’t get answered in practice.” About three-and-a-half games into the season, Lopez had to be feeling pretty good, as the team convincingly swept Utah Valley University in a three-game series and carried a 7-4 lead heading into the seventh inning against Long Beach State.

But sophomore reliever Bryce Bandilla ultimately blew the save in the ninth inning of Game 1, and, thanks to an unimpressive performance from sophomore pitcher Kyle Simon coupled with some sloppy play all around the diamond, the Wildcats received a 10-3 beat down in Game 2. “Saturday, we played very young, and I’m not exactly sure as to why,” Lopez said. “I want to believe it was just kind of a bad ball game. But we made a lot of mistakes, we gave them I think three or four runs, and Kyle Simon did not pitch very well. Hopefully we get it out of our system, and now here we go for the next three weeks.” The team will now turn its attention to the Runnin’ Rebels (6-2). Freshman Stephen Manthei will take the mound tonight, and redshirt junior Daniel Workman will start the afternoon game tomorrow. Manthei, a 6-foot, 208-pound righthander out of Las Vegas, was scheduled to start the Sunday game against LBSU, but the game was cancelled due to rain.

After one round of play, nationally ranked No. 8 Arizona women’s golf team (-5) holds a three-stroke lead over the nation’s top team, the UCLA Bruins. The Wildcats are led by sophomore Nikki Koller and junior Alejandra Llaneza, who are both tied for third at (-4).

National N ational RPI: No. 54 Strength of schedule: No. 71 Key wins: vs. San Diego State Bad losses: at UCLA, at USC, vs. Arizona Status: Bubble Notes: The Sun Devils need to sweep this weekend against the Los Angeles schools to stay in contention for an at-large bid. That would make them 6-1 in their last 7 games heading into the Pac-10 Tournament. Given they beat up on a low seed in the opening round — which isn’t really given — things looks promising unless other single-bid conferences sneak in an extra automatic bid in their tournament.

Washington (19-9, 9-7)

National N ational RPI: No. 53 Strength of schedule: No. 55 Key wins: vs. Cal, vs. Texas A&M Bad losses: vs. Oregon, at UCLA, vs. USC Status: Bubble Notes: The Huskies have a leg up against ASU with a better strength of schedule and key wins. Despite losing five of seven games at one point earlier in the season, Quincy Pondexter has turned it up down the stretch — they’ve won six of eight heading into a mustwin weekend at the Oregon schools.

USC (16-12, 8-8)

National N ational RPI: No. 104 Strength of schedule: No. 81 Status: Impossible Notes: A self-imposed ban keeps the Trojans outside regardless of the Pac-10 Tournament outcome. Plus, they’re out of gas.

Women’s golf leads Bruin Wave By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

With one weekend left in men’s basketball conference play — followed by the Pacific 10 Conference Tournament in Los Angeles next weekend — here’s a breakdown of the conference’s chances at the NCAA Tournament:

Aronsson of University of Washington, both at (-5). Koller and Llaneza both shot bogey-free rounds on the 6,282-yard, par-72 course, as only ten individuals notched rounds below par in the field of over 90 girls. Although Arizona saw shaky performances from last week’s leading scorer Margarita Ramos (+2) and freshman sensation Sherlyn Popelka (+7) , it stands atop the star-studded field which includes five of the top-10 teams

in the nation according to golfstatresults. com. No. 6 Southern California is in a tie for second at (-2), No. 9 Pepperdine is in fourth (even), and No. 2 ASU is tied for seventh at (+6). Arizona, which has recorded six consecutive top-10 finishes, is in position to extend its streak to seven as the second round begins today with tee times beginning at 9 a.m. The final round is set for Wednesday with tee times beginning at 8:45 a.m.

Arizona (14-14, 8-8)

National National RPI: No. 90 Strength of schedule: No. 32 Status: Must win Pac-10 Tournament Notes: It’s not out of the question; the Wildcats can make a late Tournament push through the Pac-10, and maybe Momo Jones’buzzer-beater will provide them with enough confidence. But nobody is immortal in the conference.

Euphoric end to a bittersweet Olympics THE ASSOCIATED PRESS VANCOUVER, British Columbia â&#x20AC;&#x201D; They were the resilient Winter Games â&#x20AC;&#x201D; beginning in shock, ending in euphoria. Opening day was overshadowed by the death of a luger in a training-run crash. The finale couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more festive â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a tribute to the organizers, who persevered despite first-week setbacks, and to the Canadian team, which surged to glory after a shaky start. A crowd of 60,000 filled BC Place Stadium for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closing ceremony, many of them Canadians reveling in the overtime victory over the United States just a few hours earlier by their menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team. That win, in the gamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final event and in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most cherished sport, gave the host nation a Winter Olympics record of 14 gold medals and set off wild celebrations across Vancouver. The gaiety in the stadium â&#x20AC;&#x201D; capped by a rock concert with Alanis Morissette, Nickelback and Avril Lavigne â&#x20AC;&#x201D; contrasted sharply with the moment of silence at the opening ceremony Feb. 12 for Nodar Kumaritashvili, the luger killed in a horrific crash on the sliding track in Whistler just hours before that ceremony. The speakers of honor on Sunday, chief Vancouver organizer John Furlong and International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge, each paid tribute to the 21-year-old athlete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are so sorry for your loss,â&#x20AC;? Furlong said, addressing the nation of Georgia.â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the legacy of your favorite son never be forgotten and serve to inspire youth everywhere to be champions in life.â&#x20AC;? Furlong â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who tried to reach out to francophone Canada with some halting words in

DARLING continued from page 8

Right from the start of the closing show, there was a spirit of redemption as the producers made up for an opening-ceremony glitch in which one leg of the Olympic cauldron failed to rise from the stadium floor. On Sunday, the recalcitrant leg rose smoothly and former speedskating medalist Catriona LeMay Doan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who missed out on the opening-night flame lighting because of the glitch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; got to perform that duty this time. Later came the traditional handover ceremony, during which the Olympic flag was lowered and presented to the hosts of the next Winter Games in 2014. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson handed over the five-ringed flag to IOC president Jacques Rogge, who passed it on to Anatoly Pakhomov, the mayor of Sochi, Russia. That was followed by the Russian national anthem and a presentation about Sochi featuring opera, ballet, ice skating and giant glowing spheres called â&#x20AC;&#x153;zorbs.â&#x20AC;?

Other key moments in the closing: â&#x20AC;˘ The awarding of medals for the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-kilometer cross country ski race, won by Petter Northug of Norway. â&#x20AC;˘ The swearing-in of two new members of the International Olympic Committee chosen by their fellow athletes â&#x20AC;&#x201D; U.S. hockey player Angela Ruggiero and British skeleton racer Adam Pengilly. â&#x20AC;˘The singing of the Olympic anthem by renowned Canadian tenor Ben Heppner. â&#x20AC;˘ A tongue-in-cheek revue of Canadian icons and symbols, featuring singing-anddancing Mounties, tabletop hockey players, dancing canoes and flying moose and beavers. â&#x20AC;˘A segment in which Canadian actors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including William Shatner and Michael J. Fox â&#x20AC;&#x201D; made fun of national stereotypes.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it. I played on this courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Having played on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball team during her years as a student from 19781982, made the jump even more special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think awesome is exactly the right word. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I played on this court,â&#x20AC;? Darling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unbelievable. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really cool for me to get back on campus, and just walk around, and go have lunch in the Student Union and stuff like I used to do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so neat to see kids wearing Arizona stuff and especially my (players) wearing

Salonspa

French â&#x20AC;&#x201D; quickly shifted to a more upbeat tone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe Canadians tonight are stronger, more united, more in love with our country and more connected to each other than ever before,â&#x20AC;? he said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;These games have lifted us up.â&#x20AC;? He paid tribute to moguls skier Alexandre Bilodeau, winner of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first gold medal at these games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alexandre, your gold medal gave us all permission to feel and behave like champions,â&#x20AC;? Furlong said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our last one (the hockey gold) will be remembered for generations.â&#x20AC;? The stadium literally shook as fans cheered and stamped their feet in appreciation. Rogge then pronounced the games closed, after describing them as â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellent and very friendly.â&#x20AC;? Neil Young, the durable Canadian folkrock star, followed with a wistful version of his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Long May You Runâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the Olympic flame faded away as the song ended. The U.S. flagbearer was Billy Demong, a veteran of four Olympics who won a gold and silver medal in Nordic combined. There were plenty of reasons for Canada and the United States to celebrate after 17 days of competition. The U.S. won 37 medals overall â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most ever for any nation in a Winter Olympics. Canada, after a slow start, set a Winter Games record with 14 golds and sparked public enthusiasm in Vancouver that veterans of multiple Olympics described as unsurpassed. The comeback by the Canadian athletes was mirrored by the determination of theVancouver Organizing Committee. It struggled with a series of glitches and weather problems early in the games, adjusted as best it could, and reached the finish line winning widespread praise for an exceptional Olympics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; albeit one tinged with sadness.

Wildcats stuff.You know, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all Wildcats.â&#x20AC;? Darling prides herself on mentoring her Wildcats. She came into this season with 25 years of experience, which Butts said is vital to the organization. Along with coaching, Darling also has a part in every home game during the halftime show with her program, Sueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corner, when Darling often interviews campus athletes and administrators, giving her humorous twist about the goings on

around campus. During the Stanford game on Saturday, her final episode of the season, Darling suggested that the only thing that gets her through the ending of an Arizona basketball season is Arizona softball and the ballpark nachos that come with it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The players all love her, she has a great sense of humor,â&#x20AC;?Butts said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;She means a lot to us. She brings something different to the coaching staff, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a coach that played here and really has a passion for what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She wants to rebuild and help the program.â&#x20AC;?

Five storylines for spring ball By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Put away your basketball woes and strap on your shoulder pads — it’s football season. The Arizona football team hits the field Friday for spring practices. Here’s a look at the top five storylines heading into the spring:

1. New coordinators

Not only has head coach Mike Stoops done a great job developing players over the years, he’s also developed his coordinators. Sonny Dykes and Mark Stoops — former offensive and defensive coordinator, respectively — were two rising football minds in the country and integral pieces to Arizona’s success the last two years. Now, Mark Stoops is running the defense at Florida State University, and Dykes is the head man at Louisiana Tech, leaving two pretty big holes in Tucson. Mike Stoops has replaced the two with co-coordinators on each side of the ball — Bill Bedenbaugh and Seth Littrell on offense, and Greg Brown and Tim Kish on defense — but how will they do? Will they continue using the same schemes? Will the players buy in? Life after Dykes and Mark Stoops begins this week. We’ll see how it plays out.

2. How will the offense progress?

campaign and become Arizona’s top receiving threat? The defense will be fine under its new coordinators since it will likely stay the same as under Mark Stoops, but the Dykes-less offense has a lot of work to do.

3. Who will play linebacker?

There isn’t a good time for a coordinator to leave for a new job, but Dykes left Arizona when the offense was in a funk. After exploding for 41 points against Oregon last season, the Wildcats posted just 20, 21 and 0 points in their final three games. Injuries undoubtedly played a role, with tight end Rob Gronkowski and running back Nic Grigsby out, but, as a whole, the offense seemed to be stuck in neutral. Two players who will be counted on heavily in 2010 who need to have big springs are quarterback Nick Foles and wide receiver Juron Criner. Will Foles be able to take the next stop toward being a premier quarterback? Will Criner build on his impressive sophomore na

Bill Bedenbaugh

There aren’t many position battles this spring, but one area to keep an eye on is linebacker. The Wildcats lost all three of their starters from 2009 and don’t have anyone with notable playing experience

waiting in the wings. Freshmen R.J. Young, Trevor Erno, Jake Fischer and Cordarius Golston are young players who impressed Arizona coaches last season and are all in contention for a starting job this season, but junior college transfers Derek Earls and Paul Vassallo might be the headliners come September. Both players are big — Earls is 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, and Vassallo is 6-foot-3, 240 pounds — and both are already on campus working out with the team. Replacing three starters is always difficult, but

having the option to choose from at least six players will make it as smooth a transition as possible.

4. Adam Hall

We’ve heard the hype, and now it’s time to find out if the kid can play. Stoops intended to redshirt the free safety who played at Palo Verde High School inTucson, Seth Litrell but a roster shakeup and Hall’s solid special teams contributions forced the head coach to let him play. At 6-foot-4, he’s one of the biggest free safeties in the country, and he’s as athletic as they come, but what type of player will he be? Can he be the playmaking safety Arizona thought they got when they signed him last year?

5. A winning attitude

For the first time in a while, Arizona enters spring ball as a legitimate football school. Finishing second in arguably the nation’s toughest conference last year was a tremendous accomplishment — regardless of what happened in the bowl game. It will be interesting to see if the Wildcats’ recent success translates into a new attitude and approach to practice.

many drinks does it take Q How to get alcohol poisoning? A lot of alcohol questions seem to be answered with “it depends...” A. and this is one of them. Having alcohol poisoning means that

you’ve consumed too much alcohol, and “too much” is determined by your gender, weight, the quantity and strength of the drinks, and how quickly you’ve consumed them. Too much alcohol can act as a “poison” in the body, signaling the central nervous system to slow down and eventually shut down vital life functions.

Why I work here:

“I cannot imagine working anywhere on campus other than the Daily Wildcat. The hours are flexible with my class schedule, my coworkers are also UA students and are great to work with, and I have a really outstanding boss. I would recommend this job to anyone..”

Arizona Daily Wildcat

dailywildcat.com

A small woman will require less alcohol than a large man to experience alcohol poisoning. Poisonings have occurred at BAC ranges of .25 to .4, so going by BAC only is not a sure thing. How do you know if a friend has alcohol poisoning? Are they semiconscious, vomiting, breathing slower than normal? Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to call paramedics to check your friend out. Too much alcohol slows down many body functions, including blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and the gag reflex (which prevents choking). A fatal dose of alcohol will eventually stop these functions. This is referred to as the depressant effect of alcohol because the central nervous system directs breathing to slow down. Carbon dioxide accumulates in the bloodstream which can lead to coma and death. Someone can also choke on their vomit leading to death by asphyxiation. People who have overdosed on alcohol are unable to help themselves at this stage so it’s up to friends to get help. Know the signs, know what to do, be a friend. Also, alcohol poisoning is not caused by any particular type of alcohol, but rather consuming too much of it. Students often say hard alcohol is the culprit, but this is due to the fact that it’s faster to down 1 oz. shots than 12 oz. beers. It’s worth repeating... too much, too fast can become a medical emergency. 97% of UA students prefer to be with someone who doesn’t drink at all or drinks moderately and stays in control.

BASEBALL continued from page 8

Spots on pitching roster still open, Lopez says “He’s 88 to 90 (mph). He’s got a slider. His ball runs a little bit. It’s got some sink to it,” Lopez said of Manthei before the Long Beach State series. “He has pretty good presence out there.“ The freshman has made only one appearance in five games but tossed 4 1/3 innings of shutout ball when he came on in relief for Workman during the 8-7, extra-inning victory against Utah Valley. Workman, who ended as the team’s No. 3 starter last season, was blasted for six runs in only 1 2/3 innings but was dealing with tightness in his arm. He is now fully healthy and has the opportunity to pitch his way into the rotation. “He’s ready to go, and I think he wants to make a run at one of those rotation spots,” Lopez said. Lopez admitted freshman Kurt Heyer is the only one who has solidified a spot in the rotation, and the other two spots are “wide open.” As the Wildcats play 18 games — all at home — in the next 23 games before Pac-10 play begins, the pitching staff is certainly one of the many questions that will be answered in the next few weeks. In addition to the rotation, the youthful Arizona bullpen has also been

a big question mark for the Wildcats. Lopez said freshman Nick Cunningham — 5.4 ERA in 3 1/3 innings pitched — will get some chances at the closer position this upcoming week. The lineup will still be shuffled around the next couple of weeks, with the most movement coming from the outfield, according to Lopez. Newcomers Ethan Chavez and Bobby Rinard are expected to get their chance in the outfield, but the biggest developments will undoubtedly come from the pitching circuit. “The big thing is pitching right now, which it pretty much always is that way unless you have an older staff,” Lopez said.“But we have a lot of young guys and they need to get a chance to pitch and see where they sort themselves in and see where they fit.” The open competition for the pitching staff begins, and position platoons will become more and more evident over the next few weeks. If Lopez isn’t sure what type of team he has before Pac-10 play starts on March 26, it could be a long season. “This is a good stretch for us,” Lopez said. “Like I said, at the end of the three weeks, there will be a lot of answers to some questions.”
