Secretary of state visits UA

ASUA wants Fling back on campus

College Republicans hear talk concerning state budget status By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Will Ferguson/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett spoke to the UA College Republicans on Tuesday evening in the Kiva Room of the Student Union Memorial Center. His speech focused on the state’s budget situation.

Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett demystified the state budget for members of the College Republicans on Tuesday. Bennett gave a presentation sorting and tracking the budget by its category of spending and revenue source to about 40 students. The College Republicans brought him to campus as one of its weekly speakers. Bennett displayed the budget visually by stacking tissue boxes, representing $1 billion each, labeled with categories such as higher education, health care, and prisons and courts. The presentation showed the three largest areas of spending: the K-12 school system, higher education, and health and welfare. Bennett then charted the state’s general fund by revenue; spending, rainy day fund and cash balance from 2007 to 2010. “If the Feds owe us money

and don’t have enough, they send us what they owe us and print more or borrow,” Bennett said. “We can’t do that at the state level.” State spending has exceeded revenue since 2008, Bennett said. “When building the ’08 budget, which would be in the spring of ’07, the economy started to slow down,” Bennett said. “The Department of Revenue calls and says, ‘We probably won’t reach that $9.6 billion (in the budget proposal).’” Economic conditions only worsened, he said. “By the time they collected revenue in ’08, the recession was even worse than they imagined and came in at $8.8 billion,” Bennett said. The budget shortfalls resulted in cuts to the three areas receiving the most spending, including K-12 and higher education. “Now where would you cut $700 million?” he asked. “Not very many of the legislatures

The move to bring Spring Fling to campus is one of the many items on the ASUA agenda for Wednesday’s meeting. Spring Fling has been held at the Rillito Downs on First Avenue and River Road for the past several years. The UA Students for Sustainability will also be giving a presentation during the meeting, and Sen. Taylor Bilby’s culture festival, Tanzbodeli, will be considered for $451.63 in Senate funds. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate will also consider allotting $1,500 for the Dick Roberts Memorial Gala, an annual event that raises scholarship money. The senate will also address the fee statement introduced by ASUA President Emily Fritze at the previous meeting.

GPSC pushes for transparency on fees By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Graduate and Professional Student Council asked for transparency from UA administration regarding long-term action on budget cuts and proposed fee increases. Emily Connally, the president of GPSC, said the council’s statement on budget cuts is in part to inform future graduate students that there will most likely be continued budget cuts for the next 10 years, and that future graduate students should “plan for the worst-case scenario.” Connally said that, as partners in the successes of the university, graduate students deserve to know exactly what

will be happening in the future and that she expects an “honest prediction.” “The year-to year-approach does us (students) a real disservice,” she said. Connally gave examples of this by asking the university to clarify exactly why tuition is being increased through a justification statement. She asked for a five-year plan to address things such as cuts to faculty so graduate students, who invest their research careers with a particular faculty member, can know ahead of time if that person may leave the university. Connally added that the budget plan for 2013 was the same as 2011 and 2012: an increase in tuition and a cut in jobs. She said if the UA has a plan to respond to the budget, they need to show

students the plan, and if they don’t, the GPSC statement on budget cuts can remind them. “We are aware of the reality of the situation … graduate students won’t come here (to the UA) if they know this,” she said. She did say that the administration is trying to pick an appropriate number for increases, and that they are in a “very difficult position.” GPSC also discussed student fees, agreeing that student fees should not be mandatory and that they should be addressed through student referendums. The library, information technology, recreation center and health fees were reviewed, and the council approved only the library fee increase without

proposed changes. GPSC decided they would only approve the information technology fee increase if the proposal was rewritten through a student referendum vote and was overseen by a representative or representatives of the council. The council discussed how these funds were misused in the past through improper fee allocations in things like online learning. GPSC also decided that the recreation center fee increase would only be approved if constituents were not charged to use facilities during the summer, and that the health fee increase would only be approved if sexually transmitted disease testing, obstetrics and gynecology screenings and GPSC, page 2

UA Peace Corps celebrates 50th anniversary By Mariah Davidson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA Peace Corps Fellows and returned Peace Corps volunteers of Southern Arizona are celebrating the organization’s 50th anniversary with a fair in the Student Union Memorial Center on Tuesday. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to share their Peace Corps experiences with students and the public. President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961 and Arizona has been a major contributor for individuals serving ever since. A total of 3,242 UA alumni have served in more than 139 countries in the past 50 years of the Peace Corps, and 76 are currently serving. Georgia Ehlers, director of fellowships and community engagement at the Graduate College, said now is a “time to look back on the legacy of service,” as well as celebrate its vitality. The fair features world music, people in

traditional and ceremonial dress, elaborate displays and food. People who worked in Latin America, Africa and the Middle East will represent their regions by sharing experiences and answering any questions students may have. Ehlers said anyone with an interest in the world should stop by, including those thinking about studying abroad, joining the Peace Corps, ecotourism or going on vacation. Ehlers said fellows enjoy sharing their stories with students. Jessamyn Bowling, a first-year Peace Corps fellow and public health graduate student, decided to join the Peace Corps after hearing a Corps fellow describe his time in the Republic of Mali. The fellow described his time serving “as one of the hardest things he had ever done but also the most rewarding,” Bowling said. After hearing his story, she decided she wanted to have those “incredibly rich” PEACE, page 2

lot of strings,” he said. “The main string is that the state can’t cut money spending below the levels in 2006.” Arizona spent $8.3 billion from its general fund in 2006, Bennett said. “Can we live on what we lived on in 2006?” he asked. “I think we can. I think lots of families and small businesses would love to have what they did in 2006.” A cut in spending may challenge areas of government that have grown, Bennett said. “The long-term solution is getting the economy growing again,” Bennett said. “We think we’ve bottomed out and are on the upswing, but we’re not going to upswing very quickly.” Members of the College Republicans said

The Peace Corps Fellows/USA program partners with 47 colleges and universities around the country to offer returned Peace Corps volunteers a graduate education at a reduced cost. The UA is second largest cohort in the country with 57 fellows. Recruiters will also be present for people interested in the Peace Corps as their next career move, Ehlers said. Aaron Hoholik, the Peace Corps recruiter on campus and graduate student studying a language,

reading and culture and public administration, said most applicants have a sense of adventure and an interest in traveling the world, international issues and integrating with a new culture. For students looking to join the Peace Corps, Hoholik said that the program develops a person’s professionalism, utilizes the languages they learn in school and offers the opportunity to take the lead on projects, oftentimes with little resources. Fellows also become part of the National Peace Corps Association Social Network, which could help students find jobs after service, and Hololik said employers look highly on having the Peace Corps on a resume.

Questions and Answers On Academic Advising

Sponsored by the Advising Resource Center

Q: Dear Advisor: After reading about the new Tier I course numbering system in the Daily Wildcat, I am curious about how to find the new courses when I get ready to register for priority registration. Seriously Searching for Tier I A: Dear Seriously Searching for Tier I: We are pleased that you are aware the Tier I course numbers are changing. You can find a table identifying both the old and new course numbers on the front page of the Advising Resource Center website (advising.arizona.edu). More information about the General Education program as well as the new Tier I numbering system can be found at the General Education website. The important thing to remember is that while the Tier I numbering system is changing (effective fall 2011), the degree requirements remain the same. As you might imagine, there are a number of significant factors involved in changing the numbering system in UAccess. We have from very reliable sources some tips on how you can most successfully manage your registration for the fall semester. First, make sure to go to your Student Center and make note of your enrollment appointment. If there are any holds on your account, take care of them right away or at least before priority registration. Our best advice is to use the Enroll by My Requirements feature to select courses for your Fall 2011 Shopping Cart. Under the “Find Classes” search options, select the “My Requirements” button. Using this search feature will display ALL courses specific to your major(s) and minor(s) that are being offered in the fall term. A Quick Video on how to use Enroll by My Requirements is available on the UITS Workshops page for Student Center (uits.arizona.edu/workshops). The only instance that we can think of where you might enroll for the same course title would be if you are planning to GRO that specific course.

Gadhafi’s son loses his reformist mantle McClatchy Tribune

TRIPOLI, Libya — He was for years Libya’s greatest hope for a peaceful, orderly transition away from his erratic father’s autocratic rule. As such, the seemingly openminded son of Col. Moammar Gadhafi was feted by world leaders and greeted with approval by international human rights groups and even some opposition activists as a beacon of reform in a politically ossified North Africa. Now Seif Islam Gadhafi, 38, is hunkered down in a besieged capital, shorn of his reformist mantle and taking a front-and-center role in organizing his family’s defiant attempt to survive a rebellion that has left rebels in control of large swaths of the desert nation. With hundreds dead, tens of thousands scurrying to safety abroad, and the one-time reformer having warned that his father’s security forces would fight “to the last bullet” in streets that would “run with blood,” Seif Islam himself admits that any vision of top-down change has come off the rails. “Everybody in Libya knows that there was a big plan to implement reforms on March 2, the opening of parliament,” he claimed in an interview

Monday night inside a luxurious office used by Libya’s prime minister. “We wanted to start a drastic change: new laws, constitution, local governance. But because of the event it’s hard to focus on reforms, because our main goal is security and peace.” Critics of the Libyan regime counter that the younger Gadhafi’s reform agenda was always a facade, a way of cozying up to the West at a time when Libya needed expertise and investment from abroad. “Just the mask came off,” said Riad Khawaji, CEO of Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis, a think tank with offices in Dubai and Beirut.”This is the real him. The reformist talk ... he was just trying to speak what appeases the West just to pave his way into succeeding his father.” Whatever the motivations, Seif Islam has stunned his erstwhile sympathizers during the ongoing unrest roiling his nation by taking to the airwaves and warning of civil war if protests continued. In recent days, videotape emerged of him brandishing a weapon as he addressed a crowd of militiamen. “You will receive all the support ... and the arms,” he said in the video clip, posted on YouTube. “Everything

will be OK.” Seif Islam’s tone has softened significantly since the government has appeared to consolidate its control over the capital. On Friday, at his behest, dozens of international journalists began entering the country, part of an effort to counter what government supporters describe as a conspiracy to undermine Libya. “This is all part of a well-organized campaign against Libya,” he said. “Everything happened here because of the foreign media. That’s why I want you to come and see and go and tell people what’s going on here. What’s on the ground is different.” Libya’s unrest — following successful revolutions in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt — has caused the Gadhafi family, he said, to close ranks around its patriarch, who has ruled the country 42 years. “All of us, we are not happy,” Seif Islam said of his father and family. “It’s a big challenge for everyone.” He insisted that his views on opening Libya’s political system haven’t changed. He says he will continue to push for liberalized treatment of the press and civil society groups, more political freedom, a new penal code, expansion of local government and the creation of a new constitution.

Malicious hackers top threat to US WASHINGTON — Cybersecurity is a potential “nightmare” for the Department of Homeland Security in the years ahead, as well as concerns about homegrown terrorists and intelligence sharing, officials said Tuesday at a seminar at Georgetown University marking the department’s eighth anniversary. “The nightmare that the DHS has,” said Stewart Baker, a former head of policy at the department, “is that a very sophisticated hacker, perhaps working for Hezbollah, manages to infiltrate our electric grid and to bring down power to a portion of the United States, not for an hour or two, but for days or weeks. This would create a major humanitarian crisis.” Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the rapid pace of change is the biggest issue with technology. “The problem with cyber is almost by the time you’re talking about something, they’re on to the next thing,” Napolitano said. “It is really a fast-moving field that, quite frankly, probably none of us are as good at understanding as somebody who’s 20 years old, so this is an area where we’re really trying to hire people. “And if there are students in the audience that have any cyber interest, I would

ask them to see me after.” Napolitano’s predecessor, Michael Chertoff, said he was most concerned about terrorists born in the U.S. “Most notable are homegrown terrorists,” Chertoff said. “What you see now is greater emphasis on recruiting Americans who are residents in the U.S. to become operatives, and that is challenging the model that we use for security.” And Tom Ridge, the first Homeland Security secretary, focused on the problems of intelligence gathering. The department is a consumer, not a gatherer of information, which is a major challenge when facing such threats, he said. “The agency can only act based on the information it’s given,” Ridge said. “I still think, eight years later, one of the big challenges is making sure that the Department of Homeland Security has enough information.” Napolitano said one of the department’s achievements that helps to lessen the threat of terrorist attacks is increased public participation in the security process, particularly civilians who report suspicious behavior or observations to authorities. “When you talk about Faisal Shahzad, what a great example of citizen involvement,” Napolitano said, referring to the attempted car bombing in New York’s Times Square in 2010.

Saif al-Islam, the son of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, talks with journalists in Tripoli, Libya, about the crisis his nation is facing with an uprising in the general population on Tuesday. Tripoli, the nation’s capital, is stable, but towns to the east and west have fallen into rebel hands.

Corporations denied privacy McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — Corporations do not have a right to “personal privacy,” the Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday, at least when it comes to the Freedom of Information Act and the release of documents held by the government. Last year’s ruling giving companies a free-speech right to spend money on campaign ads prompted liberal critics to say the court’s conservatives were biased in favor of corporate rights. While not alluding to the criticism, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. took a scalpel to a corporate-rights claim from AT&T Inc. that its “personal privacy” deserves to be protected. The ordinary meaning of “personal” does not refer to an impersonal company, he said. “We do not usually speak of personal characteristics, personal effects, personal correspondence, personal influence or personal tragedy as referring to corporations or other artificial entities,” he wrote. “In fact, we often use the word ‘personal’ to mean precisely the opposite of business-related: We speak of personal expenses and business expenses, personal life and work life, personal opinion and

a company’s view,” he said. The decision means the Federal Communications Commission may release documents that were compiled during an investigation in 2004 over whether AT&T had overcharged schools and libraries for use of the Internet. The company paid a $500,000 settlement. When some of its competitors sought release of the documents through the Freedom of Information Act, AT&T objected. It cited an exception in the law which shields law enforcement records that might result in an “unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.” AT&T won a ruling based on that provision from the U.S. Court of Appeals in Philadelphia. Its judges noted one part of the law defines “person” to include not just an individual but also a “partnership, association or corporation.” Then, U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan appealed the issue to the Supreme Court. She said the Freedom of Information Act had never been interpreted to protect the “personal privacy” of companies. All the justices agreed in FCC v. AT&T, with the exception of Kagan, who did not participate. “We trust that AT&T will not take it personally,” Roberts said in a parting comment.

GOP actions will shift tide in politics Tanner Weigel Arizona Daily Wildcat

ow quickly the tide turns in American politics. With Republicans so far holding firm on pledges to reign in the federal government’s orgy of spending, and Democrats ironically becoming the “party of no” with respect to any fiscal restraint, the American people are beginning to see clearly the choices they have for national leadership in the future. And as President Barack Obama spoke to the National Governors Association on Monday, the stark difference between his ideas for regaining prosperity and a great majority of the governors’ ideas was all too real. Perhaps it should be refreshing to see that the president is sticking to his guns when it comes to the new federal health care law and his recent budget. But thinking you’re right doesn’t mean anything; and while Democrats seem perfectly fine with keeping the status quo, Republicans, especially those in the governors’ mansions, are moving forward with bold action to bring back financial sanity. Though, when it comes down to it, the difference in the vision of the two parties is not the point. Because in reality, there is hardly anything visionary in deeming steep spending increases and slightly higher tax hikes as responsible management of the deficit, or claiming that public sector employees’ unions don’t sap states’ resources. But again, policy is not so much the point as is the delivery of the message. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie became a conservative darling for the way he bluntly spoke of the financial woes that public sector unions’ benefits were causing his state. Again, you didn’t have to agree with him to see that he was tackling New Jersey’s problems with a type of candor and unabashed spirit not often seen in politics. Even so, the states’ problems seem mild when compared with the federal government, which, if it wasn’t already apparent, has no actual requirement to balance its budget. What’s frightening here is the disconnect between Obama’s urgent rhetoric and the actual lack of seriousness in his actions, especially in his newly unveiled budget. Granted, conventional wisdom says that you can’t pull out all of the stops on the first go, but the United States is in a pretty bad place. This is not the time for lukewarm proposals. But of course, when Republicans put forward bold alternatives, they are immediately vilified. The merits of the individual cuts can certainly be debated, but the point is that the GOP is acting. They will eventually have to make some sort of compromise, to be sure, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in no way helps his party by daring the Republicans to shut down the government. He seems to be making a big gamble with the shutdown, almost as if he is forgetting that his party still owns the Senate. And so, with Speaker of the House John Boehner and other House Republican leaders making it clear that they want resolution before the shutdown date, Reid ends up looking like the partisan. Once again, leadership takes the backseat to some good old political calculating. A major tipping point in Democrats sweeping to power in 2006 and 2008 was the fact that Republicans lacked a defining sense of leadership. Even beyond an unpopular war and an unpopular president, Republicans lost their sense of honesty to the likes of Tom DeLay and friends, and suffered greatly because of it. Now that Republicans have surged back into political relevancy, they have another chance at reshaping their image. If they continue to tell the frank truth about the financial problems we face, even as some balk and kick the proverbial can a little farther down the road, they are bound for success. Tough times call for decisive action. And frankly, fleeing your state to avoid making those decisions, in the case of some Wisconsin and Indiana state lawmakers, does not quite fit the bill. So may this be a warning to the president: the American people are fed up. They were fed up with Republicans then, and are fed up with your party now. As chief executive, you make the call. This is a time for leadership. — Tanner Weigel is a sophomore studying Spanish and history. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

GUEST COLUMN ‘Culture of violence’ shoddy scapegoat for shooting By Taylor Kessinger Arizona Daily Wildcat

he UA’s National Institute for Civil Discourse, honorarily chaired by two former presidents, represents a massive opportunity and an equally massive waste of talent and resources. It has become fashionable to call for increased civility in political discourse following the Jan. 8 shooting. Violent rhetoric from the right (and, in some cases, from the left) has been tenuously connected to a “culture of violence” and this, presumably, caused the shooting. But this reasoning is symptomatic of an unfortunate tendency in social commentary to use the phrase, 'X contributes to Y, which causes Z,’ as in, 'Violent political rhetoric contributes to a culture of violence, which caused the Tucson shootings.’ There are two fallacies here: First, merely showing that two things might be related and that one preceded the other does not establish a causal relationship. Second, “Y” in this sentence is an abstraction, not something that actually exists. There is no such thing as a “culture of violence.” What actually exist are the attitudes and beliefs of individuals. It might be correct that violent political rhetoric makes individuals more likely to commit violent acts. But that’s an empirical question, one that has to be resolved by research, not something that can be asserted just because it seems to make sense. In this case, it’s not correct. Jared Loughner wasn’t a fan of Glenn Beck or similarly outrageous pundits, as many liberals (myself included) wrongly hypothesized that he was. He was a mentally unstable individual;

furthermore, as Mark Ames suggested in a Vanity Fair article, his shooting bore many similarities to the various workplace and school massacres of the post-Reagan era. Ames noted that Loughner claimed to have been bullied in school and accused Pima Community College of violating his Constitutional rights. Such massacres have typically come from individuals with a history of being oppressed, dehumanized, humiliated or intimidated, exactly what one might expect given the massive inequalities of the post-Reagan workplace culture. Yet in the aftermath of the shooting, there has been very little push for a “National Institute for Bettering Mental Health” or a “National Institute for Stopping Bullying and Dehumanization in Schools and the Workplace.” Civility is what we get stuck with. Somehow, a lack of politeness is the problem, even though there is no reason to think it had anything to do with Loughner’s rampage. Then again, if the shooting isn’t the inspiration for the establishment of the institute, what was so wrong with the level of civil discourse, and why does it suddenly need fixing? The truth is that the bluster about “civility” is empty posturing. Furthermore, civility is not necessarily a good thing. Americans absolutely have a right to be angry. They have a right to be foaming-at-the-mouth, eyescrimson-with-rage, completely berserk with anger at how politically and economically disenfranchised they are and how unlikely this is to improve any time soon. It would be pleasant if this anger manifested in constructive ways. But gone are the raucous protests of the ‘60s and ‘70s, replete with marches, giant banners held by groups of people and countless drawings of fists. Today, as Eileen Jones noted in a recent

article from The eXile Online, we’re stuck with lukewarm chants of “Hey-hey! Ho ho! These budget cuts have got to go!” and hastily scribbled posterboard signs. Yawn. It might even have been nice if Loughner had taken a page from the late Marvin Heemeyer, a welder in Granby, Colorado. When Granby officials were cruel and unjust toward Heemeyer, forcing him to lease his business to a trash company and sell his muffler shop, he spent the next eighteen months attaching steel and concrete plates to a bulldozer. He then used this bulletand explosive-resistant “killdozer” for a nonviolent rampage in which he knocked down a dozen buildings. “Civility” is not only soundly ineffective in protest discourse: it doesn’t help much in politics, either. Civility didn’t block the passage of the $700 billion Wall Street bailout package that is now widely agreed to have been a farce — rather, there was strong bipartisan consensus surrounding it. Civility didn’t make last year’s health care bill better; it produced a watered-down mess that meets no one’s needs but manages to piss everyone off. Too much politeness, not too little, was the problem. Civil discourse simply isn’t what’s needed. Sure, we ought to respect all points of view, but it’s better to devote resources toward figuring out which of those perspectives is correct. Or, in the UA’s case, better to save the money during a budget crisis. The National Institute for Civil Discourse will, in all likelihood, rise and be forgotten, like so many similarly lofty-minded institutions. Good riddance in advance, I say. — Taylor Kessinger is a former Daily Wildcat opinions columnist. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Holy smokes

A non-UA affiliated man, â&#x20AC;&#x153;priestâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son,â&#x20AC;? was arrested for possession of marijuana on Feb. 26 at 11:40 p.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer on patrol stopped a car at Campbell Avenue and Fifth Street for driving with a headlight out. When the officer met with the driver of the vehicle, he asked the man if there were any weapons or drugs in the car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a knife in my pocket and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do drugs; my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a priest,â&#x20AC;? said the driver. The officer smelled the scent of marijuana coming from the vehicle and asked the man to step out of the car. The officer told the man that the odor of marijuana was probable cause to search the vehicle. The man then admitted to having marijuana in the vehicle. He told the officer that he had paid a friend around $50 to get two grams from an unknown dealer. He surrendered the backpack that he said held one or two grams of marijuana. The officer arrested the man for possession of marijuana. The man was cited and released. He was also cited for driving with only one headlight.

PCC student gets tooted and booted

A UAPD officer ejected a non-UA affiliated man from the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on Feb. 26 at 7:44 p.m. The UAPD officer responded to the residence and spoke with the resident assistant. The RA said that several residents of the floor had complained to another RA that they were not comfortable with the man, living with his girlfriend, staying on the floor. The residents said that the man had been caught using the shower in the female restroom. Another officer spoke with the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roommate and found out that the man had been staying in the room most days for the past few months. The man had personal clothing in the room and sometimes showered with the girlfriend, as did many other residents with their boyfriends, said the roommate. The responding officer went to the room and spoke with the man and the female resident. Both parties admitted that the man had been staying in the room on a frequent basis. The man attends Pima Community College but did not have a permanent residence in Tucson, which is why he was living with the girlfriend and with other friends in the area. Community leaders had already spoken to the female student about her boyfriend and said that she knew the residence life visitation policy. The community director requested that the man be removed from the residence hall. The officer warned the man for criminal trespassing and escorted him from the building. The man left without incident.

Student tries to pour out evidence

Two male UA students were arrested for minor in possession on Feb. 25 at 11:59 p.m. On Friday night, a UAPD officer parked in a lot at the corner of Sixth Street and Euclid Avenue and saw three males walking on Sixth Street. A short male, who the officer noted looked about 15 years old, was carrying a red cup. The officer stepped off his patrol motorcycle and approached the group as they walked toward the traffic control box. The officer asked the group to come back and the students complied; but before approaching the officer, one of the males poured out the contents of the red cup behind the traffic box. The officer noticed the male empty his cup because of the shadow the student cast onto the sidewalk. After seeing the student dispose of the alcohol, the officer asked the students their ages. All three students admitted to being under 21 years old. The officer could smell a strong odor of alcohol from one of the students but noticed that one of the other students did not have any signs or symptoms of alcohol consumption and did not cite him. The officer then inspected the red cup of a third student and smelled an alcoholic beverage. The officer cited one of the students for minor in possession for consuming alcohol, and cited the other with the red cup for minor in possession of alcohol. The students were referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation.

Museum contest showcases local talent Arizona Biennial 2011 offers opportunity for UA art students, recent graduates By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Biennial” — it’s a weird word. But to students pursuing the arts, it’s a big deal. A biennial is a competitive art show that occurs once every two years, and showcases the work of the best artists in a given region. The Tucson Museum of Art has hosted its biennial since 1948. The Arizona Biennial 2011 is currently accepting submissions until March 12. Meredith Hayes, the director of marketing for the Tucson Museum of Art, says that the biennial “gives artists who aren’t well known a chance to be hung next to artists who are well known.” The biennial accepts work from anyone over the age of 18, in any medium. A distinguished guest curator, whose identity remains a secret, will judge the works, and the selected pieces will be shown in the museum during the summer. In 2007, 53 artists were chosen from more than 700 submissions. Statistics like these can be daunting for applicants. But of the 44 artists featured in 2009, four were UA students — which means that in 2009, UA artists made up almost 10 percent of the best artists in the state. Hayes encourages students to submit their work this year as well. Since the biennial hasn’t yet been judged, Wildlife was unable to contact current

applicants. But two artists featured in 2009, Andrea Jensen and Gwyneth Scally, shared their experiences. Andrea Jensen is an Masters of Fine Art student with an emphasis in painting. She saw the 2009 biennial as a way to contribute to the community, as well as “a valuable chance” to show her work, Jensen said. She successfully submitted a large-scale landscape painting on recycled billboard, called “Body Fat.” “I often work with recycled billboards as a material that serves as a metaphor for our rate of consumption,” Jensen said of her eco-friendly artwork. “My work is about how our desires, perceptions and a loss of identity have resulted in the current environmental crisis.” Since her achievement in the 2009 biennial, Jensen has continued to pursue the arts. “My work is constant,” she said. “It is a practice. Through experimentation, research and studio time, the MFA program has taught me how to better this practice and, hopefully, improve my work.” She said she plans to graduate this May, and would like to be a professor of art in the future. Two years ago, Gwyneth Scally was also an MFA student in painting when her largescale installation “The Museum of Dying Giants” was featured in the biennial. BIENNIAL, page 7 (Left) Gwyneth Scally works on a painting at her studio on Feb. 6. Scally’s work was featured in the Arizona Biennial 2009 and she is working on pieces to submit to the Arizona Biennial 2011.

T.S. Monk continues father’s beat

UA art senior turns to Kickstarter to pursue printmaking dreams By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT To hear T.S. Monk explain it, the jazz industry has trouble competing with other forms of music for a young audience — and for good reason. “You’ve got $50. You going to see Wynton Marsalis or you going to see Lady Gaga? A lot of young people are going to see Lady Gaga,” Monk says. “What is she doing? She’s heavily immersed in entertainment.” And entertainment is what Monk said he wants to provide the audience with UApresents’ “Monk on Monk” concert at 7 p.m. this Sunday at Centennial Hall. Named after Monk’s 1997 tribute album to what would have been his father’s 80th birthday, the concert has evolved, according to Monk, to showcase three explorations of his father’s career: his famed quartet music, his little-known sextet work and Monk’s big band interpretation of his father’s music. “It’s also about stories, object lessons that I learned from him. It becomes a nice night of (Thelonious) Monk’s music with his son leading the charge,” Monk says. “It serves really as a battery charger for me, so I come into it super enthusiastic just because I love MONK, page 7

Johnson

Hallie Bolonkin/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Corie Johnson, a UA studio art senior, displays a T-shirt, one of many that she designed and plans to print as a part of her designer T-shirt company. Johnson is using a program called Kickstarter to raise money to start her design business.

If you look around the UA campus, you may see someone wearing one of Corie Johnson’s works of art — a T-shirt print of an elephant or perhaps a baby growing in the middle of a burning star. Johnson, 23, intends to transform her love of printmaking into a designer T-shirt company called WaferLove Clothing before she gets her Bachelor of Fine Arts in May. Instead of applying for a business loan to buy their first printing press, however, Johnson and her business partner, recent UA graduate Rafael Lopez, are looking for funding from family, friends and strangers via the website Kickstarter. Kickstarter provides an online forum for any individual or group with a creative project to ask potential patrons to pledge a donation. Rewards are given for each donation tier after the project is fully funded. Patrons are not obligated to pay if the project’s Kickstarter goal is not met. Johnson and Lopez have a Kickstarter goal of $3,624. As of press time, 11 backers have donated $827. Johnson said the money raised via Kickstarter would pay for a printing press that will be used not only for WaferLove’s operations, but also future workshops on printmaking. Johnson and I met at the end of

a frigid February week in Tucson. Under layers of clothing, the avowed “nerd” wore one of her more distinctive print designs, “CockAtari.” “It was about how video games start to rule your life in a sexual way,” Johnson said. To learn more about Johnson and Lopez’s project, you can visit waferlove.com or search for “Waferlove” on www.kickstarter. com. How did you come across the idea of getting funding through Kickstarter? Rafael saw this young man that had gotten — you get your funding based on percentages and he had gotten 7,000 percent funded through a lockpick that he invented. If you donate so much, you get a lockpicking set. We were looking into buying a press just by ourselves, hopefully with a tax refund and everything. So he (Rafael) found that website and we decided to give that a try and see because there are a lot of other creative projects on there. … If you donate so much, you get a T-shirt, of course. There’s one with a tank top. Not with the “CockAtari” tank top, mind you. I thought about it, but I’m not sure how that funding would go one way or the other. It might be a lot of people or, like, “Ugh, that’s bad taste.” So (Kickstarter) has different tiers of donation. It’s an all-or-nothing thing. JOHNSON, page 10

continued from page 6 “This piece comprised a 9-and-a-half-foot-tall tent made of fake fur,” Scally said. “The tent was filled with living pine trees, gathered from Mount Lemmon, which slowly browned and died over the course of the exhibition.” There was also a backlit painting at the opposite end of Scally’s installation. Scally found inspiration for this project in the icebergs and pine forests of Newfoundland, Canada, where she spent a summer residency in 2007.

MONK continued from page 6 playing my father’s music, and I don’t get a chance to do it that often.” It’s easy to see why. Monk wears many hats: chairman of the board of trustees for the nonprofit Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz; bandleader of his own sextet and the “Monk on Monk” tentet; and a drummer and singer who blends jazz, funk and R&B on his albums. But the biggest hat he wears is that of the son of the legendary jazz pianist, Thelonious Monk. “When I started my jazz band in 1992, of course the first thing out of everybody’s mouth was, ‘You need to do a tribute to your father,’” Monk says. “I said, ‘You know what, how about no? How about I just plug away here for a few years and get a little bit of credibility first?’” Monk’s work and experience culminated in the acclaimed big-band tribute “Monk on Monk.”

After his father died in 1982, T.S. Monk’s sister Barbara fought to protect their father’s legacy and music, but died of breast cancer in 1984 before she could see the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz established. T.S. continued his sister’s goal and developed the institute into an internationally renowned jazz education organization. “I know that he would laugh (about the institute) because he wouldn’t believe it. ‘My name? Why do you want to use my name?’ I know that’s the kind of thing he would say. He really, really wasn’t full of himself,” Monk says. “If my sister were alive, she would be the chairman. … I was four years older than her and she was the one who told me and explained to me how precious our daddy’s legacy was and how we were going to have to be proactive about protecting it.” With “Monk on Monk,” the audience in Centennial Hall will get its chance to experience Thelonious Monk’s legacy through his son.

CAT MIX FIVE SONGS TO CRY TO WHILE FACBOOK LURKING

‘Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others’

thanks to the Internet, it’s easy to creep completely undetected just like Clay Aiken always dreamed. Enjoy this pop hit as you click through those photos, and pretend he’s “yours tonight.” — Miranda Butler

The Smiths

It’s true; some girls are bigger than others. Depending on what you happen to be into, this will be a deciding factor on which of your female friends’ pages you lurk for summer vacation photos and relationship status updates. Remember: always clear your temporary Internet cache. — Remy Albillar

‘Creep’

Radiohead

Add some guilt to your self-pity with Thom Yorke’s signature moan. That’s right, weirdo. You know its wrong to check those pics. You don’t belong here; you only have 3 mutual friends. Keep clicking, creep. You wish you were special? Start by changing your political status to something other than “moderate liberal.” — Brandon Specktor

‘Every Breath You Take’ The Police

No list of songs to stalk to would be complete without the quintessential creepy-guylooking-in-your-window anthem, better known by its famously eerie line, “I’ll be watchin’ you.” Don’t let Sting’s gentle voice on this one lull you into complacency; its narrator’s sinister promise to watch “every move you make, every breath you take” should make you worry about this guy’s sanity, and about the trustiness of your security system, online or otherwise. — Heather Price-Wright

Fashion show promises poolside fun for a cure By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When a high school friend passed away from brain cancer, marketing and entrepreneurship senior Lindsey Erlick had no idea brain tumors were the second leading cause of cancer deaths in 20- to 39-year-olds. Then she met marketing senior Shannon Timms. The two became co-presidents of the UA branch of Students Supporting Brain Tumor Research and have since put on two walkathons for the cause. But this year, they wanted an event that would appeal to a different crowd. “We thought (a fashion show) would be more interesting for college students,” Timms said. “It’s a great way to coordinate with the grand opening of the pool and to get students aware.” The Student Recreation Center pool has its grand opening on March 4. “Fashion. Music. Pool. For a Cure” will follow on March 5. Tickets are $15 for general admission and $20 for one of 100 VIP seats, which includes front-row runway seating as well as gift bags from sponsors.

Q& AGore Verbinski

Why the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ director works to redefine the Wild West By Brandon Specktor Arizona Daily Wildcat Director Gore Verbinski’s films strain common genres: Southwestern assassin romance/fairy tale (“The Mexican”), urban tragicomedy plus archery (“The Weather Man”), and slapstick maritime ghost adventure (“Pirates of the Caribbean”), to name a few. With his newest film “Rango” opening this Friday, he’ll have “identity crisis/animated lizard Western” to add to the list. But do these disparate descriptions embody a unified spirit of adventure? During a conference call, Wildlife got a chance to ask Verbinski about his genre-bending love of the frontier (and Johnny Depp). You’ve done a lot of work with Johnny Depp. What’s your relationship like? Well … we’re the same age, I mean, a lot of similar experiences growing up, a lot of the same musical influences. I met him in London in a restaurant, and we stayed there until like 3 in the morning just talking. You come up with a language when you direct actors.

Certainly with Johnny (Depp) and I doing so much work together we developed a shorthand — a lot of times I’ll speak almost in sound effects and nonsensical words. I’ll go up between takes and underline one line of dialogue and say, “More fuzz here,” “More spank on this one,” and “10 percent less here.” And he knows, you know? So on “Rango” … there was a tremendous amount of trust … I said, I’m going to work on this animated movie about a lizard with an identity crisis and he just went “fantastic, let’s do that.” He was in without reading a script. You’re following three consecutive pirate films with an animated Western. How do you choose the genres for your stories? The reason not to do another Pirates film was … it didn’t scare me any more. I’m lucky to jump into something I’m not sure I can do. And I think that I try to hire people who are really talented but maybe haven’t done that thing either. And we all … get kind of juiced when we’re in those situations. Everybody gets focused. Every now and then you’ll bump into a crew member, and you’re like, “Wow,

Greg Grusby / Industrial Light&Magic

we got to get rid of this guy. He’s just punching the clock.” You know, showing up, doing his job and leaving, and that’s kind of tragic because I think there are easier ways to make a living. You better love it. And you better be willing to crawl through broken glass to tell your story. And I try to share that

with the team so everybody feels like their fingerprints are on the sculpture. What’s your favorite genre? It has to be the Western; those ‘Pirates’ movies were Western. When I was very young I found Sergio Leone movies, you VERBINSKI, page 10

Feathers: A hair fad that won’t make you look 7 By Christy Delehanty Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s rare that we get a truly wearable trend in hair. Remember the hair wraps all the girls wore back to school, post sunny spring-break trip? Synthetic clip-in locks that more rightfully belonged on a Barbie? Those weird fake-hair scrunchies once sold at Claire’s? Thankfully, these bygone fads have found a classier, more current cousin in the feather extension — a look fit for little girls and 20-somethings alike. You probably already know this. Maybe in the last month or so, you’ve found your eyes fixed on a subtle (or not-so-subtle) standout strand in a classmate’s hairdo. Chances are you asked about it and were answered, “these are turkey feathers”;“this is feather fringe”;“this is the new thing.” If nothing else, these extensions,

which range from neutral blondblending hues to vibrant rainbow shades, are gaining popularity. And, according to Gadabout SalonSpas stylist Catherine Rocha, it’s for a good reason. “It’s removable; it’s easy to take care of; it’s a fun little thing,”Rocha said. Of course, it’s not the only extension of its kind. Shimmers, which amount to little slivers of tinselly, synthetic ribbon, seem to be the direct, if inferior, ancestor of the feather extension. “We used to have shimmers, and about a year ago they were the new thing,”Rocha said.“They only lasted two or three weeks. And we’d tie them at your roots so there would be like a little bump at your root, whereas these go on the hair shaft, so they’re a lot more comfortable and a lot more user-friendly.You can curl them with a curling iron or flat iron them.

Idols given idols On Sunday, the nation’s most important pretty people gathered at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony. “The King’s Speech,” “The Social Network” and “Inception” took the most trophies this year, but between predictable results and uneven banter from hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway, the ceremony had its ups and downs. For those who missed the show, here is a list of the best and worst moments of the anticipated broadcast.

PRO

Themes! Every year the Academy Awards picks a neat theme for the ceremony. This year, the theme was “movies.” Tom Hooper winning for Best Director and leaving audiences to imagine the Firth/Rush/Hooper “triangle of man-love” that inspired him. Comedy! This year’s running jokes between speakers included “Swear words are naughty,” “Hugh Jackman is from Australia” and “I wish I was having sex with Anne Hathaway right now.” Oprah presents award, gives everyone in the audience a car. Idol worship! In some of those long shots it’s hard to discern Anne Hathaway in her gaffer-tape dress from an Oscar statuette. “Inception” wins for Best Rotating Hallway. Jennifer Lawrence didn’t take the trophy for “Winter’s Bone,” but she awarded herself the gift of looking really attractive for a national audience — a gift that keeps on giving (work in Hollywood). Generational schisms! “Gone with the Wind”; “Lord of the Rings.” Kirk Douglas; Justin Timberlake. “The King’s Speech”; “The Social Network.” Hollywood is so refined and timeless; Hollywood is so young and edgy! Randy Newman wins his second Oscar (and 20th nomination) for the same song he’s been writing since 1982. Even if you didn’t see this year’s Best Picture winner, you’ve still had the experience of waiting 2 hours for Colin Firth to give a speech. — Brandon Specktor

CON

James Franco forgetting the name of the winner of “Best Picture” moments after the award was handed out. I guess it’s tough to focus on reading cue cards when you’ve been high for the last 127 hours. Justin Timberlake making fun of a stroke survivor. Actually, thumbs down for anyone making Kirk Douglas jokes this week. The one-earring/pony tail combo featured by the recipient of the Best Makeup award, for the movie “The Wolfman,” no less. What a joke. Being reminded of the movie “The Wolfman.” Another Academy Awards, another obligatory “dead actor salute montage,” not-that-funny appearance by Billy Crystal and John Williams Orchestra medley. Trent Reznor has an Academy Award, but Paul Giamatti doesn’t? The Oscars are worse than the Grammys now. Melissa Leo. Partially because of dropping this year’s only live Oscar F-bomb, mostly for showing us way more HD quinquagenarian side-boob than anyone’s ever wanted to see. Christopher Nolan’s go-to cinematographer Wally Pfister finally wins an Academy Award, but still can’t get away from his terrible name. Having to watch “Shaq’s Big Challenge” contestants singing “Over the Rainbow” at the end of the Oscars. Cliché and boring? Perfect way to end the Oscars! Obama’s completely pointless cameo. — Remy Albillar

the hot and cold. While the look is more sophisticated than extension fads past, the process is pretty simple and takes about three seconds to complete. The feathers, once selected, are arranged into two asymmetrical sets and, with a spaghetti-thin chunk of hair, are threaded through a bead matched to the customer’s hair color. The bead is then clamped shut with common pliers, and the pointy feather tips are snipped short near the scalp to prevent painful poking. Each feather lasts about one to two months, at which point Gadabout suggests you come back to remove the bead (but truly wild cats can just go at it with their own pliers). So how many feathers count as fringe? There’s no simple answer, though an odd number is suggested to keep the look pleasingly offbalance. And though Gadabout

SalonSpas sells individual feathers for $8 each, most of their customers come looking for more. “Usually people get five for $35 because that’s the best deal, plus you can see them more that way. One feather with a whole head of hair is really hard to see,”Rocha said. But sometimes one is enough. With the particularly popular turquoise, red and bright pink feathers, less is sometimes more. It can be easy to overload. “A lot of times mothers will bring their little daughters in, too … because their daughter always wanted red hair or blue hair, and this is a really easy fix,”Rocha said. Really, though, partaking of the feather fad could be a good fix for anyone eager for a change. Me? I’m jumping on the temporary extension bandwagon while it’s still making stops in 20-something land.

The cabana areas surrounding the pool will have free food and refreshments, provided by Sunflower Farmers Market. Floating candles will be placed in the pool for people to light in memory of a loved one. University Boulevard stores Grand Central Clothing and Swindlers Boutique are donating clothes for the show — and 20 percent of all sale proceeds go to research. Taness Billington, general manager of Grand Central Clothing, said the fashions will include “all the new spring styles in all the popular colors,” including high-waist shorts, white jeans and a blend of bright colors and neutrals. The store’s show features student models, many from Greek Life , according to Billington. New York-based fashion company Worth, which is doing a trunk show in the area this weekend, will also take part in the show. Worth’s show will not feature student models.

JOHNSON continued from page 6 Now that I graduated and I’m not in any printmaking classes, I don’t have access to the (UA’s) press anymore. So we’re working on doing the Kickstarter website to try to raise funds to buy our own press. What we want to do is have interns from the U of A printmaking program that want to come and learn the business aspect of printmaking. Because a lot of people, they will tell you, “You can’t be an artist professionally, there’s no market for it.” But I want to show people you really can do what you love and if it’s art, you’ll find a way. It’s surprising that you went to Kickstarter rather than through traditional funding like grants. Unfortunately, a lot of grants funding, they say, “Hey, we have this project, we’ll give you a grant if you do it.” So I didn’t want to do somebody else’s project, I want to do my own. … I think Kickstarter is more this generation and grants feel more like the last generation. Plus, I don’t think it’s as admirable, I guess. There

is a lot of people competing for grants, but on Kickstarter you have to really fight and find people for every donation. Every dollar you get, you asked for. So it’s a lot more personal. It’s kind of like printmaking, every cut. What are some of your inspirations for your art? Technology, definitely. Being a huge nerd always shows up in my art. For my first year of art school, every single piece I made was about zombies. I always wonder about the zombie apocalypse, where I would go, where I would hole up. I actually used to have a machete in my car. It wasn’t mine. I was dating this guy and he let me borrow it because I went to a not-very-good part of town. He’s like, “Take the machete!” And I was like, “Whatever, just put it in the Jeep.” So I had it for two years and I finally just saw him and I was like, “Here’s your machete back.” So I guess zombies, technology, video games. I’m very, very inspired by classic video games. I actually did some work on Chinese topics. … I guess I’m really inspired by the propaganda art, especially during

Erlick said it was a common goal of all the shows to present clothes students can wear for their spring break trips. There will be 13 looks for each designer or shop. “Everything is staying in Tucson, which is really important,” Erlick said. “And it’s good to know that we’re not only supporting research right here at UMC, but we’re also supporting (people) in their quest to beat cancer.” All money raised goes to brain tumor vaccines at the Steele Children’s Research Center, which specializes in teaching pediatricians as well as undergraduate and graduate students in research laboratories. The runway will be on the patio deck, with Facilities Management providing the stage, according to Chad Jeffry, assistant marketing specialist for Campus Recreation. Mariana Vazquez, special events coordinator at Steele Children’s Research Center, said the impact of the show goes beyond the dollar amount raised as fundraising, it “enables more funding and gets better results.” Clinical trials have already been proven to stop the

So I’m a fan of Western, but really the most modern Western — the Peckinpah, “The Wild Bunch.” The myths are dying and it’s the end of an era. Progress is inevitable for us.

constantly referred to as a genre like it’s for kids and moms. And I don’t know where that comes from. Why does animation have to be linked with Happy Meals? It’s just a technique to tell a story. I don’t feel like it defines the narrative. In our case, it’s a Western, so we just approached it like we were making a Western. But quite often we’ll do a genre splice, just because straight genre has been done so many times. Sometimes we’ll take a Pirate movie and we’ll take a ghost story — the skeleton and moonlight and the curse — and we’ll splice them together. In the case of “Rango,” it’s an identity quest and a Western. Most of your films are about pirate and cowboy figures, and even in “The Weather Man,” Nic Cage uses a bow and arrow. What about the frontier hero and

frontier setting appeals to you? I don’t know. That’s a psychiatrist question. I think — there’s something about the silhouette … the desert, the minimalistic. I’m always trying to cast the silhouette of the protagonist because all those characters are sort of trying to find out who they are — “The Weather Man,” especially. And I think there’s something about the sort of postmodern Western genre … a sense that people are longing for a simpler time, and these myths are dying. It’s the end of the gunslinger or the end of that silhouette. And the frame becomes cluttered and progress sort of blurs the silhouette. And so, you know, we’re sort of on this train that is moving but everyone’s forgotten what the destination’s supposed to be.

Can you donate X amount of money so that we can get the thousand dollars we’ve raised already?” But again, on Kickstarter, it’s all or nothing. So if we can’t raise it all, then we’ll have to buy it ourselves. We’ll have to suck it up and use our tax returns to buy a press.

Pasco classes up University Boulevard

Valentina Martinelli/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

Pas•co, -verb: Latin for graze, feed on or forage By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat How do you get the pancake smell out of Café Paraiso? For the owners of Pasco Kitchen & Lounge, the new eatery on 820 E. University Blvd. that occupies the old Paraiso building, the answer was simple: replace it with fresh veggies and fresh paint. “We got a local graffiti artist, Roland, to tag stuff from junk sales and bring it all back to the restaurant,” said Pasco’s general manager, UA alumnus Andrew Record. Pasco, which opened in mid-February, serves self-proclaimed urban farm fare with a premiere Tucson chef at the helm. Its early claim to fame is a menu derived almost exclusively from the output of local farms. Record, a former member of the Arizona Students’ Association and with degrees in English and creative writing, was propelled into the restaurant business by a job at 58 degrees & Holding Company, a now-closed local winery. Wildlife chatted with Record about the influences behind Pasco’s flavor and his hopes for the future of the restaurant. When and how did Pasco open? We had our soft opening on Valentine’s Day and we went full board a week ago. The chef and owner is Ramiro Scavo. He’s spent the last five years building up personal relationships with farmers in the area. How much of your food is local? Around 90 percent of our food is from local sources. We have contracts for goats, sheep, lambs, eggs. The only thing we don’t get locally is fish. Maybe if the Gadsden Purchase had worked out differently, we’d have an ocean a little bit closer (laughs). But we do also have a great relationship with Sleeping Frog Farms (a fruit and vegetable farm in Cascabel, Ariz.).

What’s the atmosphere of the restaurant like? The feel is new American comfort food with a fresh farm twist. The name might not be familiar, or all the ingredients, but as soon as you put that first fork in your mouth, it all comes back. It’s like something your mother used to make. Same thing with the cocktails as well. We bring in fresh produce. We make our own jellies and syrups. We’re not content with just giving people a spirit and a mixer. How does the architecture support that? It all comes back to urban farm. This is an old building, I think first built as apartments. So, the first thing we did is expose the brick on the walls. Some parts of the floor were covered in linoleum and why? It’s beautiful wood flooring from the 1920s. What else distinguishes Pasco from some of the other places on University Boulevard? We were really encouraged because, during the construction process, we spent a lot of time at Wilko and we were really encouraged by their clientele. It’s something a little bit more upscale but still relaxed. It’s elegant, it’s warm; it’s full of hospitality but still really casual and really approachable. And it’s really great to be back on campus. We always have the ‘Cats playing. We have red shirts for the staff to wear on game days. We also do late-night menus, so on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, we have one of the latest kitchens in Tucson; we’re open until 1:30 a.m. We’re not trying to price anybody out. We’re aware of the students, the professors, the neighbors, the Foothills. We want everyone to be able to walk in here.

So … what’d we think?

Pasco is pretty, but not pretentious. The farm aesthetic is clear when you walk in. Water and cocktails are served in Mason jars. Tables made from old barn doors contrast the more modern touches of sleek lighting, minimalist furniture and crystal chandeliers in the back room. The menu definitely developed from the soft opening to the grand opening. Our first trip brought us chicken and dumplings, $7, and tater tots, $5. Both were solid fare, polite food, but not nearly as fully formed as the Pasco Bacon and Eggs, $7. It wasn’t just breakfast food. The Pankocrusted poached egg crowned a pile of pork belly-esque, thick-cut bacon with slices of granny smith apple, French toast and buttery syrup. It’s a dish viable for noon or midnight munchies. Although the food is polite, Pasco is a place where shouting at the UA game on TV and having a quiet Sunday brunch are both options. When Record says, “We’re not trying to price anybody out,” he means it. The University Boulevard standard price for a meal and a drink lays around $7.00. Upper-class food at the same price as some pizza slices or cheesy fries at another area restaurant is sure to earn Pasco a regular crowd, much like Wilko. Been there twice, and happy to go again.

Arizona overcomes bullpen miscues, rallies to beat Rice 10-8

Silenced Losing streak sours Wildcats’ buzz By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat

Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Short stop Alex Mejia lays down a bunt in Arizona’s 10-8 win over the Rice Owls on Tuesday at Frank Sancet Stadium. The Wildcats rallied to score two runs in the eighth inning after the bullpen coughed up an 8-0 lead. Arizona improved to 6-1 with the win.

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat Late-game offensive heroics paved the way for the No. 17 Arizona baseball team to edge out the No. 21 Rice University Owls, 10-8, in the first of a two game series in Tucson on Tuesday. A late eighth inning, two-out rally was just what the doctor ordered for the Wildcats, with right fielder Robert Refsnyder doubling in a run and designated hitter Josh Garcia following with an RBI triple. “We got it done at the end,” said Arizona head coach Andy Lopez. “I’ve always been a guy who would rather teach from a game that wasn’t all that pretty, than teach from a loss.” Despite strong starting pitching and an offensive jump to begin the game, the Wildcat bullpen

was unable to continue the trend, letting a fifth inning 8-0 Arizona lead turn into a 8-8 tie midway through the eighth. “I thought we played really well for about five or six innings,” Lopez said. “But this is the reality of what we are doing right now. We’ve got to find out what’s happening in the middle of our rotation.” Arizona took charge early when Cole Frenzel doubled in a run. Taking advantage of poor pitching and defensive miscues, the Arizona offense seemed to put the game out of reach in the fourth with a five runs on three hits to take an 8-0 lead. Frenzel again created for Arizona, driving in another run, and Garcia plated two on a frozen rope single to left. Arizona starter Kurt Heyer, whom Lopez was holding to under

50 pitches, was stellar in his 2.2 innings of work, striking out four and giving up zero runs on two hits. Freshmen Konner Wade looked solid over his first two innings of relief, retiring the side in the fourth and fifth. Then the levy broke. A flood of five runs came through off of Wade and reliever Daniel Ponce de Leon, putting the game back within reach for the Owls. Left-hander Matt Chaffee then took the hill and didn’t seem to fool anyone, as the Rice hitters tacked on another three runs to pull within one at the seventh inning stretch. Chaffee loaded the bases in the top of the eighth and just one out. Bryce Bandilla came in to clean up the mess, but immediately walked in the tying run. Bandilla wouldn’t lose the lead given to him in the bottom of the

eighth, closing out the game 1-2-3. “I was in the dugout, and, once they got those two runs, I just sat down and thought, ‘Game over, we’re getting this win,’” Bandilla said. What was almost a heart-breaking loss for Arizona transitioned into a character defining win for the young Wildcats, and these are the kind of wins that they will need for Pacific 10 Conference play. “The Pac-10 is loaded, so these non-conference games are going to be huge for us.” Refsnyder said. “It was good that they made a run because it showed a little character in the back of our bullpen. “It was a good job overall from Bandilla, he’s going to be really big for us, coming into that closer spot.” The Wildcats finish out their series with Rice tonight with Kyle Simon set to take the hill for Arizona.

FOOTBALL NOTES

Walters has pedigree; Reed making noise cornerback Robert Golden before the bowl game. “He just finished playing himself, so he knows what it takes to go out there and get a good victory.” When Wade was asked on Monday via Twitter about Walters as a coach he responded, “@ TwoStarWade: @Mike_Schmitz it’s cool! I just want someone to stay on top of me and make sure I’m going all out and Walters can do that! Good move!”

By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat Having to replace accomplished defensive guru Duane Akina with a 25-year-old graduate assistant doesn’t exactly seem like a home run for the Wildcats and their secondary. But Ryan Walters, who was hired as Arizona’s secondary coach on Monday, not only has postseason experience with the program, he’s also earned the respect of his pupils. After Greg Brown left for the Colorado in the weeks leading up to the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl, Walters took the reins as the Wildcats’ secondary coach. Losing a popular assistant like Brown could have rattled a young secondary, but Walters — Brown’s protégé — was just as capable, and even easier to relate to. “He knows his stuff,” said senior safety Anthony Wilcox a week before the bowl game. “He also brings playing experience that goes a long way for Arizona’s defensive backs. “You can respect someone who you’ve seen do what he’s asking you to do.” Walters followed Brown to Arizona in August of 2010 after

Brooks Reed turning heads at the Combine

Mile Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Defensive end Brooks Reed, 42, has been helping his draft stock at the NFL Combine. The former Wildcat ran an impressive 4.68-second 40-yard dash, the third best among defensive linemen.

finishing up a stellar career at safety for the Buffaloes. He started 33 games for Colorado from 2005-08 and finished his senior year with 87 tackles, three fumble recoveries, seven pass deflections, two sacks, two forced fumbles and two interceptions, earning him All-Big-12 honorable mention.

The second-youngest assistant in the Pac-10 has been receiving high praise from the Wildcats’ defensive backs, even before he was hired as the secondary coach. “He’s a great coach. He has a lot of technique stuff to teach us. He can relate to us a lot, so we like him a lot,” said junior starting

If NFL scouts weren’t familiar with Brooks Reed before the NFL Combine, they are now. Reed is surging up draft boards thanks to a stellar first four days at the all-important Combine. “Reed isn’t an elite athlete, but he has good short-area explosiveness and a nonstop motor that will have him off the board before Day 2 is over,” ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay wrote. Reed ranked third among defensive linemen in the 40-yard dash (4.68 seconds) and the 20-yard shuttle (4.28 seconds), while tying for 10th in the bench press with 30 reps.

Over the past few weeks the Arizona basketball team was beginning to create a buzz. After a disappointing weekend, it’s become really quiet around McKale Center. A great deal of that silence can be attributed to the fact that the players weren’t allowed to speak to the media on Tuesday in the team’s weekly press conference. In fact, after an embarrassing 71-49 loss at UCLA on Saturday, the only player made available after a game was sparingly used center Kyryl Natyazhko. So why is head coach Sean Miller prohibiting his players from speaking to the media? “There’s a lot on our guys’ plate,” Miller said yesterday in a press conference. “Not only are they going to class, we’re playing for a lot,” he added. “We’re getting ready to go into postseason, just allowing those guys to go through their day and thinking about what they need to do, which is be at our best on Thursday.” Riding an eight-game winning streak and top-10 ranking, the Wildcats went into last weekend like a team that let the hype get to its head. “It’s just human nature to get caught up in it,” Miller said. “Do I think the top-10 ranking, being 234, the Washington white-out home game probably had us off track a bit? Yes. “What I do also hope is that, that weekend serves its purpose, refocuses us and gets us back on track of what we do and why we’re 23-6 right now.” Despite the fact that the games in Southern California exposed the Wildcats’ lack of size and defensive intensity, the Wildcats are still in a better position than many would believe coming into the season. “If I would have told you in October that we would have been playing Oregon State and Oregon for the Pac-10 title and for our 24th and 25th possible win,” Miller said. “On your end you would say a lot would have to go right for these guys. “A lot has gone right for us.” Putting this past weekend in perspective, Miller cautioned his team to not panic but at the same time take notice of the losses. “Nothing is ever as good as it seems and nothing is ever as bad,” he added.

New starters?

After two straight losses, Miller said he may look at changing the starting line-up. “We’re working through that right now, over the next couple days of practice,” Miller said. “No matter who starts the game we’re going to play 10 players, it’s the players 6-10 (in the rotation) that’s made a difference for us.” Small forward Solomon Hill’s struggles in the last few games could mean that Kevin Parrom will start in his place. “Regardless of who starts, we have to play Kevin (Parrom) more,” Miller said. “I don’t think he goes from 20 minutes to 40 but playing 25 minutes a game, he’s earned that.” Miller admitted that he looks at the line-up differently after two straight losses. “That’s one thing as a coach when you’re on an eight-game win streak,” he added. “It’s tough to change, but when you lose a couple, you reflect and see things in clearer light.”

Arizona men’s swim team heads to Pac-10 Tournament Wildcats aim to stay competetive while resting for NCAA Championships By Kelly Hultgren Arizona Daily Wildcat The No. 6 Arizona men’s swimming team will begin competition in the 2011 Pacific 10 Conference Championships today in Long Beach, Calif., at the Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool. Similar to the women’s championships last week, the four-day meet will have preliminary competitions in the morning and finals at night. Many of the Arizona swimmers have already made their NCAA

cut times. Therefore, most of the swimmers will be “swimming through” this meet, and using it as a measure to see where they stand for the national championships later this month. But just because they’re “swimming through” doesn’t mean not giving their best. “They swim as fast as they can, they’re just not fully rested and ready to go,” said head coach Frank Busch. “Our goal is to race the teams that are fully rested and compete well against them.” Junior captain Cory Chitwood

is a potential Arizona Individual Titleist this season, meaning he’s predicted to win his events at both the Pac-10 meet and national championships. “We will all be going all out, but a lot of us won’t be really rested or shaved,” Chitwood said. “Some of our guys are shaved and tapered for it, they’re going to be going all out and lighting up the pool.” “Our main goal is NCAA’s and that’s where we want to be our fastest. We like to go in and swim (the) conference a little tired, but at the same time, it gets us ready and gets

us tuned up for the NCAA’s.” Busch’s training regime is part of what makes the Arizona swim team unique in the Pacific 10 conference. He has an intensive training schedule up until the national championships, which is the meet Busch stresses on his swimmers the most. His philosophies differ from many of the Pac-10 schools that have higher rankings going into the championships. Unlike Arizona, a few of the schools train to peak now. opposed to later in the month. For example, No. 2 Stanford’s

men’s swimming team has won the Pac-10 title for 29 consecutive years — some argue that isn’t accomplished without a training emphasis on this meet. Going into the meet, California is ranked No. 1, then Stanford, Auburn, Texas, Florida and then there’s Arizona sitting in the sixth spot. Regarding points, the men’s diving teams competed last week in the women’s swimming and diving Pac-10 meet. Arizona’s points will be added to the swim team’s points for its final scores.
