UA graduating medical student Mike Walston and wife, Katie, share a kiss after learning of his acceptance as a resident to the University Medical Center in anesthesiology last Thursday at UMC’s Match Day 2010. The Walstons, flanked by daughter Nayeli, 2, and Jett, 4, said the Tucson residency was Mike’s first choice.

Match Day 2010 reveals residency placement for May graduates By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A masked man, clad in a black costume with a yellow “M” emblazoned across his chest, leapt onto the stage of the DuVal Auditorium at the University Medical Center. His mission: To thwart the evil Dr. Doom in her attempts to ruin Match Day 2010. Using his secret weapon — a can of Silly String — the hero, known as Match Man, defeated Dr. Doom, saving UA medical students from a terrible fate. This was the scene March 18 at Match Day 2010. Match Day, part of the larger National

Residency Matching Program, is an annual event that lets medical students from all over the nation know where they will serve their residency period. This year's Match Day theme was “Not All Heroes Wear Capes,” a theme most UA medical students took to heart by wearing a variety of costumes, including Zorro, Batman, Batwoman, Superman, Superwoman and all four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Fourth-year medical students Todd C. Daniello and Beth Ranney also joined in the fun, playing Match Man and Dr. Doom, respectively. “This was truly a great

atmosphere to be in,” said Lee Jones, the associate dean for student affairs and admissions in the UA College of Medicine. “Not many places have themes like the UA does, and certainly not many places embrace the theme like students here do.” For medical students, Match Day represents the end of official university education and the beginning of their medical careers after a long process of applying, interviewing, waiting and wishing. “I'm just so excited,” said Ranney, who was assigned to Maricopa Medical Center. “This begins a whole new part of my life and I couldn't be more happy.” Approximately 110 UA medical

students were matched on Thursday. The majority of them will be doing their residency in Arizona. UA Match Day also has another tradition. As students are called up, they place a $1 bill in a bag. The last person called gets all the money. This year's winner was Brooke Coleman , a fourth-year medical student who was matched to Sutter Medical Center in Sacramento, Calif . “I'm pretty psyched about the money and where I was matched,” Coleman said after the ceremony. “Drinks are on me tonight.” Matched medical students will graduate with their doctorates on May 14.

First AZ Jewish temple celebrates 100 years By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Temple Emanu-El, the first Jewish congregation in Arizona, turned 100 years old and celebrated with a gala at the Hilton El Conquistador Resort on Saturday. “The Centennial Celebration will honor all of Temple’s past presidents and Joan and Donald Diamond for their vision, leadership and the dedication they have provided over these

100 years,” said Rabbi Samuel Cohon. The gala included dinner, live music and multimedia presentations. Jill Rich, one of the temple’s vice presidents, said they would also have comedic presentations about their history. Rich said several hundred people attended. “We’ve been on the forefront of every Jewish organization in Tucson,” Cohon said. “It was from Temple Emanu-El really that every organization came.”

Cohon said the temple has the largest outreach program in the Southwest. In addition to the gala, the temple, along with hundreds of participants, is working on writing a new “Torah” to celebrate the anniversary, Cohon said. One of the Jewish organizations they’ve supported is the Albert T. Bilgray lectureship in honor of Albert T. Bilgray, rabbi emeritus at Temple Emanu-El and UA professor emeritus, who helped form Judaic and religious studies programs at

the UA. The lectureship started in 1985. “It’s someone speaking on Jewish interests and has an academic component as well,” Cohon said. The lecture normally draws 80 or more faculty and staff depending on the topic, according to Edward Wright, director of the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies. “That lectureship has had an important impact on campus,”Wright said.“It really models effective ways of the university and the community working together.”

UA professor David Cuillier spoke as one of 10 experts about the current implementation of public records access under the Obama administration. The hearing held on March 18, entitled “Administration of the Freedom of Information Act: Current Trends,” lasted just under two hours and included two panels, one on government agencies and one about those who request records, like assistant journalism professor Cuillier. These panels were meant “to aid transparency and accountability,” according to chairman of the board William Lacy Clay. The hearing was during “Sunshine Week,” which, according to www. sunshineweek. org, is “a national initiative to open a David Cuillier dialogue about the UA professor importance of open government and freedom of information.” “Requesters are forced to be adept at what I call psychological warfare,” Cuillier said. “It’s a cat-and-mouse game and it shouldn’t be that way.” Cuillier, the Society of Professional Journalists freedom of information committee chairman, remained frustrated with the lack of openness within federal agencies. The Freedom of Information Act, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966 and amended several times since, contains barriers, according to agencies and requesters. The Information Policy, Census and National Archives Subcommittee in the Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing to discuss issues and solutions. “FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) was designed … to provide our citizenry with the legal means to access government information,” said Patrick McClatchy, ranking minority member of the committee. “Over a year into (President Barack Obama’s) administration, the American people should be seeing more transparency than this. It’s my hope that our witnesses will be able to shed some light on this overreliance on certain FOIA exemptions and the delay in implementing the President’s directives.” Cuillier pushed for further reform of the directives McClatchy noted. “If the president were in my class, I’d give him an A for effort but probably a C for execution,” Cuillier said. He noted the work of the committee, but gave a representative view of public records requesters from the point of view of a journalist and researcher, as he is both. “I think what you’re doing here CUILLIER, page 7

Political science sophomore If you could go one place, where would it be? Egypt, because I like all the mythology behind the place. Have you ever thought about studying abroad? Yes. I’m actually going to be going on the “Arizona in Yalta” program in Ukraine. Why Ukraine? Because it gets me nine units of political science credit and it’s short. If you could go to three other places, where would they be and why? England, Greece and maybe Germany. Not Egypt? I’d rather not study there. Just visit. Have you heard about the famous health food pyramid? Yes, I have. Do you think eating stone pyramids are nutritious? Um, it’s full of fiber? High cholesterol, though. On another note, did you watch the Super Bowl? Yes, I did. Did you have a favorite commercial? I liked a few, but none really stood out for me. Were there any you weren’t fond of?

Calif. board to consider requiring condoms in porn LOS ANGELES — California’s worker safety board voted Thursday to further study a proposal that would require porn actors to wear condoms during sex scenes. The six-member California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board voted unanimously to assign an advisory committee to study the proposal from the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. The advocacy group filed a petition in December seeking to require the use of condoms in the porn industry. “We feel like this is the game-changer.

The sentiment expressed by the board members indicates that the majority if not all of them are willing to vote for regulations,” said Michael Weinstein, president of the Los Angeles-based advocacy group. The group wants the same sort of protections in place for nurses and doctors who work with bodily fluids to be extended to porn to prevent the transmission of diseases. By law, U.S. adult film actors must prove they have tested negative for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases within 30 days

of going to work on a film. Pornographers,includingHustlerpublisher Larry Flynt and Vivid Entertainment head Steven Hirsch, have said mandatory testing for adult film actors has been an effective way to prevent the spread of disease. Flynt added that adult film viewers don’t want to see people using condoms. Hirsch said the adult film industry would likely leave California if the use of condoms became mandatory. — The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — Oprah Winfrey and several schoolgirls allegedly abused at her academy in South Africa are expected to testify in a trial over a defamation lawsuit brought by the school’s former headmistress, whose performance Winfrey criticized. When news of the scandal broke in 2007, Winfrey said she had “lost confidence” in headmistress Nomvuyo Mzamane and was “cleaning house from top to bottom.” Mzamane, who said she didn’t know about any sexual Oprah Winfrey abuse, had trouble finding another job afterward. The case is headed for a two-week jury trial in federal court in Philadelphia starting March 29. At a final pretrial hearing Friday, Winfrey lawyer Chip Babcock said minors do not typically testify in open court in South Africa. The girls, now 14 and 15, may seek to testify through videotaped depositions, especially given the sensitive nature of their testimony, Babcock said. “We’re going to see how the kids get acclimated here, and how (their) parents feel about things,” Babcock told U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno. A dorm matron at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls has been charged with abusing six students. Winfrey has called the allegations crushing given her own stated history of childhood sexual abuse. Winfrey plans to defend her remarks about Mzamane on free speech and other grounds, arguing that she merely voiced her opinions. Mzamane’s lawyers, who note Winfrey’s huge media reach, contend listeners would think they were based on facts she gleaned from the school’s internal investigation. “To this day, Ms. Winfrey admits that she has no evidence that Ms. Mzamane knew about any claims of sexual abuse at the academy while she was headmistress there, much less that she tolerated or covered up such abuse,” Mzamane’s lawyers wrote in their trial memorandum. Winfrey was not in court Friday, but as the named defendant must attend the trial each day, she has rearranged the taping of her Chicago-based daily TV talk show, according to her lawyers, who asked the judge to try to keep the trial from dragging beyond two weeks. Robreno agreed to hold court on Saturdays if necessary. Several witnesses are coming from South Africa on visas linked to the trial schedule. — The Associated Press

SPECIAL TO

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Brenton Silbert-Ford is quite a character. He has been an otter, a turtle, a penguin and, most recognizably, a Wildcat. For the past two years, Silbert-Ford, a marketing senior, and Camila Guzman , an environmental sciences junior, have portrayed Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat, the UA’s married mascots. They have been groped, grabbed, kissed and hugged and no one knew who they were. That changed Saturday when the pair was revealed during half time of the season’s final home men’s basketball game. While both Silbert-Ford and Guzman reveled in their experiences as mascots, the two said it was nice to finally receive some recognition by allowing the world to see the people behind the fur and over-sized heads. Silbert-Ford was a high school student in San Diego, Calif., when he put on his first mascot suit as a performer at SeaWorld. “(The otter’s) character matches Wilbur as a playful character,” he said. “You would just add that ego to that otter and you will be Wilbur.” During his time at the UA, SilbertFord became known as the “good dancing” Wilbur. He was energetic, he made signs — such as the infamous “I’m with stupid” sign which was directed at Arizona State University’s Sparky the Sun Devil — he had props and now he has memories. While Silbert-Ford came to the UA with a mascot pedigree, Guzman was just looking for a way to get involved and show her school spirit. Despite their different paths to becoming mascots, Guzman and Silbert-Ford have grown accustomed to one another’s presence. They finish each other’s sentences, they simultaneously recall the same memories and they have both grown to embody their characters. Guzman said she laughs like Wilma, taking both hands to cover her face as she hunches forward. Silbert-Ford said he has posed for so many pictures with his arms folded it has become second nature. “We can read each other without even thinking,” Guzman said. “We don’t need to verbalize what we think. We will just do a weird hand motion and know what we’re talking about.” Being a mascot is different than being an actor. The characters are left to improvise, have no script and are simply given character traits and told to embody them so the community never sees a change from one mascot to another. Silbert-Ford said when each performer goes “in suit” they bring their own flavor to the character, and elements of that flavor can either become a tradition or they can disappear once the individual’s twoyear contract expires. “I am a big fan of giant props. I made a lot of giant props this year. I made a giant saw for the tree that didn’t come. For Joe Bruin I made a giant bear trap. For the (NAU) lumberjack a giant

WASHINGTON — Summoned to success by President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled Congress approved historic legislation Sunday night extending health care to tens of millions of uninsured Americans and cracking down on insurance company abuses. Widely viewed as dead two months ago, the Senate-passed bill cleared the House on a 219-212 vote. Republicans were unanimous in opposition, joined by 34 dissident Democrats. Obama watched the vote in the White House’s Roosevelt Room with Vice President Joe Biden and about 40 staff aides. When the long sought 216th vote came in — the magic number needed for passage — the room burst into applause and hugs. An exultant president exchanged a high-five with his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. A second, smaller measure — making changes in the first — was lined up for passage later in the evening. It would then go to the Senate, where Democratic leaders said they had the votes to pass it. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said the legislation awaiting the president’s approval would extend coverage to 32 million Americans who lack it, ban insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions and cut deficits by an estimated $138 billion over a decade. If realized, the expansion of coverage would include 95 percent of all eligible individuals under age 65. For the first time, most Americans would

ax,” he said. “I still have every single one, and of course I have a pitch fork for Sparky.” Being a mascot is not all fun and games, however, as it takes extreme dedication and amounts to what is essentially volunteer work.

”

— Brenton Silbert-Ford Wilbur the Wildcat

Both Guzman and Silbert-Ford had to pay a $200 annual fee and had to raise an additional $500 in order to be Wilbur and Wilma. As compensation for their 30-hour un-paid workweeks, they received a $100 book scholarship during their first year and a $200 book scholarship during their second. They also get

free Nike clothing and Wilbur gets to travel to away sporting events. Wilma, however, only gets to travel to one away football game per year. “For me, the traveling makes up for it. Going to Maui for a week or going to Miami for a week,” Silbert-Ford said. “It really kind of evens out, but then you think about it, and all of the other mascots get that stuff and a full ride (scholarship).” Guzman finished Silbert-Ford’s sentence saying, “It is a little discouraging sometimes.” Neither Guzman nor Silbert-Ford will be graduating in May, and both say they won’t know how much they will miss being Wilma and Wilbur until they officially can no longer get “in suit.” Silbert-Ford said he has future mascot ambitions after his time as Wilbur is through. In fact, another former Wilbur has been recruiting him to become a professional mascot in the Japanese professional baseball league. Mascots are not in it for the glory, he said. They anonymously touch the lives of thousands and when their time “in suit” ends, all they get are the memories. “You sit in class and it’s like ‘I took a picture with you, you gave me a hug, and you don’t even want to talk about what you did,” Silbert-Ford said. “You definitely do it for the kids and the super-fans. Not for anyone else.”

Congress passes health care bill THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

be required to purchase insurance, and face penalties if they refused. Much of the money in the bill would be devoted to subsidies to help families at incomes of up to $88,000 a year pay their premiums. Far beyond the political ramifications were the sweeping changes the bill held in store for millions of individuals, the insurance companies that would come under tougher control and the health care providers, many of whom would face higher taxes. Crowds of protesters outside the Capitol shouted “just vote no” in a futile attempt to stop the inevitable taking place inside a House packed with lawmakers and ringed with spectators in the galleries above. Across hours of debate, House Democrats predicted the larger of the two bills, costing $940 billion over a decade, would rank with other great social legislation of recent decades. “We will be joining those who established Social Security, Medicare and now, tonight, health care for all Americans,” said Speaker Nancy Pelosi, partner to Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., in the grueling campaign to pass the legislation. “This is the civil rights act of the 21st century,” added Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, the top-ranking black member of the House. Republicans readily agreed the bill would affect everyone in America, but warned repeatedly of the burden imposed by more than $900 billion in tax increases and Medicare cuts combined. “We have failed to listen to America,” said Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, leader of a party

that has vowed to carry the fight into the fall’s midterm elections for control of Congress. The final obstacle to the bill’s passage was cleared at mid-afternoon when Obama and Democratic leaders reached a compromise with anti-abortion lawmakers whose rebellion had left the outcome in doubt. The White House announced he would issue an executive order pledging that no federal funds would be used for elective abortion, satisfying Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan and a handful of like-minded lawmakers. A spokesman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops expressed skepticism that the presidential order would satisfy the church’s objections. Republican abortion foes also said Obama’s proposed order was insufficient, and when Stupak sought to counter them, a shout of “baby killer” could be heard coming from the Republican side of the chamber. The measure would also usher in a significant expansion of Medicaid, the federal-state health care program for the poor. Coverage would be required for incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, $29,327 a year for a family of four. Childless adults would be covered for the first time, starting in 2014. The insurance industry would come under new federal regulation. They would be forbidden from placing lifetime dollar limits on policies, from denying coverage to children because of pre-existing conditions and from canceling policies when a policyholder becomes ill. Parents would be able to keep children up to age 26 on their family insurance plans, three years longer than is now the case.

Don’t be hating on the Regents W

hile you were busy taking your last midterms and packing your tequila and sombreros, ahem, sunscreen and textbooks, to jet off somewhere fabulous for spring break, the Arizona Board of Regents was making its final decisions regarding how much it will cost you for the privilege to show up hungover for class the day after Spring Break next year. In February, UA President Robert Shelton had released an initial tuition proposal that would have increased in-state tuition by 31 percent. Shelton defended the increase by citing the evaporation of state funding and pointing to the $40 million the UA has already cut. The proposal was met with some outcry by students, citizens and newspaper editorial boards, most of whom claimed that the approximately $2,000 increase was too much for students to bear in an already strenuous financial market. As a nice gesture, the Board of Regents held a tuition hearing Anna Swenson at each of the three universities Opinions editor on March 1“to hear testimony and comments from the public, students and other interested parties regarding the level of tuition and mandatory student fees to be charged for resident and nonresident students at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona for academic year 2010-2011.” Like a college student slipping in a term paper minutes before the due date, Shelton released new tuition recommendations just the day before the regents were set to meet on the topic. This proposal supported a 20-percent increase in fees. Some, including the Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Chris Nagata, during the March 10 ASUA meeting, marked this decrease in proposed tuition as a triumph of student voice and advocacy for lower tuition. Others might speculate that Shelton may have inflated his tuition proposal just so that he could make this kind of dramatic decrease. After all this speculation and talk, what did ABOR decide? The regents voted to set resident undergraduate tuition at $8,237, a 20-percent increase. Before we start dancing to the beats being spun by good ol’DJ RShelt, consider that this base tuition might not be as great of a reduction as it appears. The regents also voted to incorporate the current $766“economic recovery fee”into next year’s tuition. As reported by Evan Lisull of the Desert Lamp, the minutes of the April 30, 2009, Board of Regents meeting note,“Regent (Ernest) Calderón stated that he wanted to emphasize that the vote for tuition surcharges today is effective only for the 2009-2010 academic year.”Not enough emphasis, apparently, as this fee-that-is-no-longer-a-fee is now permanent. That tuition will be reduced by this or any amount when there is no longer need for “economic recovery”seems as unlikely as a men’s hoops win did last Thursday. The streak for raising tuition has been going for longer than 25 years and remains unbroken: Tuition and fees have gone up every year since 1977. The regents also voted on program fees and differential tuition, including a $500 fee for the Honors College. Though the regents did discuss the relative merits of differential tuition, all proposed program fees were ultimately approved. Before we go hating the regents and violating the“no signs with sticks”protest notices posted on every entrance to the regents meeting, we should remember that the regents had considered these issues long before this final decision meeting and spent several more hours discussing particularly tuition with Shelton and Provost Meredith Hay. Regent Mark Killian mentioned that he wore his funeral suit to the meeting, and Calderón seconded the somber sentiment, calling the meeting“the darkest meeting of the Board of Regents since the Great Depression.” Though no one likes to pay more money for the same product, both Shelton and the regents made compelling points for why tuition and fees must increase. In a Feb. 20 Arizona Daily Star article, Shelton said,“We cannot diminish the quality of the UA nor curtail access to a UA education.”He continued,“To do so would be contrary to our values and the system’s values of access and quality.”As Regent Anne Mariucci said during the meeting March 11, a UA education“has been the world’s greatest bargain for the last 10 years and it can’t be any more. It’s not on sale any more.” Yes, an Arizona education will cost more next year. But Shelton is right about one thing: We don’t want to risk the quality of a UA degree. While the issue of grading quality is another entirely, the regents considered the concerns of the university fairly and decided as such. The problem that continues to plague the regents, the administration and students is the $100 million of funding from the state that is gone. Lost like the $50 and your fake ID that disappeared from your wallet sometime between that first Irish car bomb on St. Patrick’s Day and when you woke up the next morning wearing only Lucky Charms.

MAILBAG Comments from dailywildcat.com On ‘Schools should permit same-sex prom dates,’ March 12

I have to say I’m grateful for not having this problem at a Tucson High School. I, like my older sister before me, went as a group with my closest friends ‘all of us girls.’ I also had a friend that wore a tux and took her date who chose to wear a dress. —Michelle Matthews

On ‘Sexual identity does not fit in a box,’ March 10 Our nation was founded and built by people who came together with different backgrounds and blended in to form a unified society. How can it be a good or desirable thing to promote such a high degree of separation within our society? Anyone who favors the expansion of individual liberty should reject a multiculturalism that restricts personal freedom by classifying and identifying people on the basis of unchosen characteristics such as ancestry, sexuality and appearance. —Christopher R.

On ‘Celebrating women’s history for more than a month,’ March 11 (Margaret Sanger’s) legacy is not her beliefs but rather an organization that still helps millions of women almost 100 years later. We can respect Sanger for her contributions to women’s rights without celebrating her racism, socialism or belief in eugenics. We’re not condoning a policy or beliefs system, we’re remembering a woman who was bold enough to contribute to a paradigm shift in female sexuality. I mean, the

President Barack Obama yesterday announced his plan to overhaul the No Child Left Behind Act of 2002. Rather than continuing the previous act’s emphasis on students passing national standardized exams for reading and math comprehension, Obama’s plan will focus on preparing students for college and careers. With this goal in mind, the president will encourage schools to broaden their curricula beyond just emphasizing reading and mathematics, the areas that No Child Left Behind tracked. Obama’s proposed overhaul of education policy contains many much−needed improvements. However, the Obama administration’s execution and timing of this plan may end up actually hurting its goals. The proposed overhaul would address many of the flaws of No Child Left Behind. The main strength of the administration’s education plan is that it redefines the goals of the American education system in a pragmatic light. Rather than using standardized test results to gauge students’ aptitude compared to their peers’ each year, the administration is proposing to use testing to track students’ individual progress from year to year. This system comes closer to ensuring that no child actually gets left behind, since it follows

Yes, there will be a NEW streak starting next year. Momo (Jones) will lead us, don’t worry. I have watched the ’Cats for 15 years, and was disappointed this year. But would you rather be ASU and have a coach for a few years, players for a few years, and STILL not make the tourney. I say these ’Cats played with what they could. Next year starts a new 25-year streak. —Greg A new streak? As much as I hope for one, I really don’t see this coach at UA in the next five years, let alone the team going on another 25-year streak. Truth be told, we are going to start losing the five-star recruits we used to get. Gone are the days when the team is made up of future NBA All-Stars. Honestly, can you really disagree with that? I feel bad for Lute (Olson); the minute he leaves, the program just implodes. —Tom Sean Miller is doing an amazing job! Look at what Lute f****d us over with? Our best player that came back was Jamelle Horne. Miller was the one who brought Wise back, you don’t think he was ready to leave? Miller did a sensational job getting our recruiting class, give him a break they weren’t all-stars right away. Our team will develop, Miller is a fantastic coach. This kind of stuff doesn’t happen over night. So the streak ends, I honestly think with Miller we are 10 times more likely to win a national championship sooner. Imagine if these freshmen stick around all four years, you tell me if that team would be stoppable? I rather give up the streak and win a national championship some time this decade. —Sean Miller = God Too BAD Lute couldn’t bow out with grace. I’m sure a new streak will be starting soon … AND, they did well this season. Nothing lasts forever. —John Ryzek

students to make sure that they consistently receive effective education instead of looking only at a group of yearly test scores. In order to produce math and reading test results and receive federal funding under No Child Left Behind, many schools have neglected programs in science, history, art, physical education and other subjects. With his new plan, Obama will instead allow schools to test a wider range of subjects and incorporate the results in the evaluation of the school’s success. By allowing schools to teach and test more than just math and reading, students with strong skills in the sciences, history, etc. will be able to succeed by federal standards as well. Test scores will more fairly reflect schools’ success and students’ aptitude. The administration’s plan lays out new goals for each grade level based on college- and career-ready criteria. Reasoning and research skills will be incorporated earlier and emphasized more. The abilities to reason and argue different opinions and to research to support ideas are critical for success in college and in the workplace. Although these skills are not as easy to compress into the format of a standardized test, they are more genuine indicators of a successful education, and the

administration deserves praise for proposing this step. However, Obama’s education proposal faces major challenges in the current political climate. Since the bill is not expected to be presented to Congress until August, it is unlikely to receive attention, as legislators will be caught up in preparing for the midterm elections. Additionally, with Republicans in Congress criticizing the president for his health care bill, they are unlikely to support what they will condemn as another costly federal intervention. The administration needs to reassess its strategy in order to get this important education reform passed. If today’s students are to succeed in college and in the workplace in the future, we need to change the standards by which we measure their learning. The president and his advisors need to find a way to make the importance of education reform clear to a distracted and polarized Congress, or else the inadequacies of No Child Left Behind will continue to let American schools stagnate. —“Proper implementation of education reform needed,” The Tufts Daily editorial board, March 16

UAccess system includes Cat Cart, new schedule for class enrollment CLASS REGISTRATION IN THREE EASY STEPS

Select classes using the new UAccess remodeled schedule of classes to add to your Cat Cart.

Check availability and confirm classes before enrolling. A green circle means a class is available, a blue square means a class is closed and a yellow triangle means a class has an accessible wait list.

Click “enroll” during specified open enrollment times.

them in their cart, instead of the one-by-one search system on Student Link. “It’s just like your shopping cart in Amazon,” said Kay Stevens Beasock, manager of organizational communications for the Mosaic project. Beasock also stressed that placing items in your cart does not equate to registering for classes. “Again, just like in Amazon, until you hit ‘purchase,’ or in this case ‘register,’ you aren’t registered for those classes,” Beasock said. “I think it will be positive for students,” said Suellyn Hull, co-director of the Mosaic project, which includes the UAccess changeover.“I think the (shopping cart) is our biggest worry.” Hull said students need to remember to go back to their Cat Cart and check class availability, marked by a green button in the new system, which is crucial to the success of UAccess. The new staggered, open enrollment times will not start over the weekend, but rather on Mondays, according to class rank and will remain open through the following Sunday. Students can access all open enrollment appointment assignments using UAccess student center. Appointments will be assigned and available starting today. “We staggered it to manage the load on the system,” Hull said. “But I think it will still be a benefit for students.” Tom Bourgeois, co-director of the Mosaic project, said students know exactly where they stand with class rank and records to make sure the switchover process goes smoothly. “Students should check their record to see if it converted accurately,” Bourgeois said. The student center in UAccess becomes the new hub for information and student records, so in order to ease the learning curve, under WebReg in Student Link, a tutorial video will be available for students to learn the new system. From May through December, online academic planners and markers of degree progress for graduation by college will be phased-in and will complete the UAccess transfer process. An informational meeting about the latest changes in the Student Link switchover to UAccess will be held on Thursday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center.

Smokers burned during purse return

A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the UA Main Library on March 10 at 9:20 a.m. to pick up a purse that belonged to a UA student an employee had found. After checking records for the woman to whom the purse belonged, an address was found and the officer drove to her Campus Crossings apartment to let her know she could pick the purse up from UAPD. When the officer got to the hallway the room was in he could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from either the woman’s room or the one across from hers. After the officer knocked on the woman’s apartment door, a man answered and told the officer that the woman who owned the purse did not live there, and it was only himself and his girlfriend that had been living there for two months. The officer could tell that he had just woken the man up. He asked if the man had any marijuana in the room and he said, “Yeah, a little.” The man went back into the room and got two small bags with marijuana inside and gave them to the officer. The man was then told the man to put on a shirt and shoes and get his identification. The man was identified by an Arizona driver’s license and cited and released for possession of marijuana. At the UAPD main station, the officer weighed the marijuana. The first bag had 1.4 grams and the second bag had 3.3 grams. The marijuana was placed into property as evidence and a Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students for the man.

Man requests hospital visit for ‘dry heaving’

A UAPD officer was on patrol on March 10 at 1:15 a.m. when he saw a man being carried away by two others from the front door of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house at 1509 E. Second St. The officer spoke with the man as he was lying across the backseat of a car. He gave the wrong name at first, but it was later corrected after a records check. The man told the officer that he wanted, “to go to the hospital” because he “was dry heaving.” Tucson Fire Department paramedics arrived to the scene to treat the man for extreme intoxication. The man told the paramedics that he drank an unknown amount of beer. The man was cited for minor in possession and a Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students.

Jack it back

A UAPD officer arrived to the parking lot at 945 N. Palm Dr. on March 10 at 11:09 a.m. after a UA Parking and Transportation employee called to report criminal damage done to a padlock. The employee told the officer that he was at the Architecture building to pick up a bicycle that had been put inside the building. Keeping bikes inside buildings is prohibited. The employee took the Trek mountain bike from the building to his truck and secured it with a cable and padlock. After securing the bike, the employee went back inside the Architecture building to check for more bicycles. While he was walking on the second floor of the building he could see out the window a group of people standing next to his truck. When the group saw the employee coming toward them they scattered. One of the men was holding a pair of bolt cutters and had cut the padlock off the bicycle. The man took the bicycle and started walking toward the Center for Creative Photography. The employee was able to catch up to the man while he was locking his bicycle to the bike racks in front of the center. The man was told that cutting the padlock was vandalism and asked for his identification. He gave the employee a CatCard. The employee told the student that he was going to call the police. After waiting several minutes while the police were on the way, the student told the employee that he had to get to class and left his CatCard with the employee. While the officer was taking a statement from the employee, the man came out of the Architecture building and told the officer that items had been stolen off of his bicycle many times before and he thought the only way the keep his property safe was to put it inside the building. When the man went to get his bike and saw that it was not there, he thought it had been stolen. After speaking with the man, the officer placed him under arrest for criminal damage. He was handcuffed and put in the back of the patrol car. While the officer was writing the citation, the Associate Dean of Architecture asked the officer if there was anything that could be done to help the student. The officer said that the student would be released after getting his citation. The man was cited and released and the cut padlock was taken into evidence.

A man went to the UAPD main station on March 10 at 10:37 a.m. to report his Toyota Tacoma had been vandalized on March 8. The man told a UAPD officer that he was at the parking lot at 750 N. Cherry Ave. on March 8 at 10 p.m. trying to find a parking spot. He saw a black SUV circling the lot trying to find a spot. The man saw a couple leaving and asked if he could have their parking spot when they left. The couple told him that he could have the spot and he positioned his car to take the spot. While the man was waiting, the SUV pulled up next to him and the man driving said that they had been waiting longer and should get to park in the spot. The couple left and the man pulled into the spot. The woman in the passenger seat of the SUV yelled to the man, “That was messed up.” While the man was walking toward the library he kept looking back at his car to see what the people in the SUV were doing. The man saw the driver get out of the car and walk toward his car a few times. He decided to go to the library anyway. The man left the library at 11:15 p.m. to go home. The next morning at 5 a.m. he noticed that “Fuck you” had been keyed into the driver’s side door. The man told the officer that he thought the couple in the SUV was to blame. Photographs of the engraving were put into property as evidence.

is extremely important,” he said. “The past year has been refreshing. However, I think that the perception of requesters is that we’re not quite there yet. We have backlogs, delays, redactions that are extreme, exemptions applied broadly, a variety of strategies used to skirt FOIA.” Cuillier expressed his frustrations over the lack of openness under the law as a former journalist and current researcher. “Most journalists frankly don’t use FOIA due to the frequent delays and denials,” he said. His co-panelists mirrored his sentiment, saying there is still work to be done. Although no resolutions were passed, the hearing gave Clay and others on the board written testimonies as well as proposals of what could be further explored.

The Office of Government Information Systems was created in 2007 and opened its door in September of last year to combat this problem. With mediation services and directed government agency oversight, the office strives to make “FOIA and the implementation of FOIA more efficient and effective,” according to Mirian Nisbet, director of the Office of Government Information Systems. Cuillier and the other experts acknowledged it’s the first of many steps in the right direction. “I found that accessing records is often more about people than the law. It’s this human factor that leads me to teach journalists the interpersonal dynamics of getting records.” Cuillier said. “That’s why I think it’s imperative to fix the laws and develop a culture of openness in government.” “I was a student at Oregon State University when I ap

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships 78% of UA students had either one or no sexual partners during the past school year. (2009 Health & Wellness Survey, N=1,720)

How many students each academic year are diagnosed and treated for STDs and what are the top three?

A. The top three STDs among students here at the UA are the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Chlamydia and herpes. This is based on a combination of both clinical diagnoses and lab tests conducted at the Campus Health Service. HPV, for example, may be diagnosed by a health care provider through the presence of genital warts, during a woman’s pelvic exam, or less frequently, through a Pap test. Often STDs will have no signs or symptoms, which is why getting tested is a good idea for you and your partner. The following lab test results were recorded at Campus Health between summer 2008 and summer 2009. Keep in mind that a single patient may complete multiple tests during their visit, so the numbers reflect the total number of STD tests, not unique patients. • Chlamydia – 3,213 total tests, 110 positives • Gonorrhea – 3,021 tests, 5 positives • HIV – 1,295 tests, 0 positives • Syphilis – 1,108 tests, 0 positives • Genital Herpes (herpes simplex virus 2) – 555 tests, 20 positives

• Oral Herpes (herpes simplex virus 1) – 309 tests, 88 positives (these may present on genitals) • HPV – 533 tests, 163 positives While about half of all UA students use the Campus Health Service each year, students also seek testing and treatment for STDs off campus through Planned Parenthood, the Pima County Health Department, or other clinics, so that is an important consideration to keep in mind when looking over these figures. At the UA, we know that condom use is at an all-time high among students who are sexually active, the majority of students limit their number of sexual partners, and 46% of students who are single or dating have never had vaginal intercourse. In addition to getting tested, these are all good ways to reduce your risk of STDs. To schedule an appointment at Campus Health, call 621-9202 or stop by the Highland Commons Building near 6th St. and Highland Ave. For information about STDs, call 621-4967 or go to www.health.arizona.edu and search for “STDs.”

Senior Annie Chandler pushes through the water on Nov. 6, 2009. Chandler won the individual title in the 100-yard breaststroke at the NCAA Championships in West Lafayette, Ind., over the weekend.

Chandler takes NCAA 100y breaststroke individual title By Derek Lawrence ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Going into the final race of the NCAA Women’s Swim and Dive National Championships in West Lafayette, Ind., Arizona had already outperformed the expectations of many by even being in contention. The Wildcats went into their final race, the 400-yard freestyle relay, as one of four schools still alive for the National Championships. The title within their grasp, the Wildcats ended up falling just short with a seventh-place finish in the race and a fourth place finish in the meet. They only scored 22.5 points less than Florida, who won with 382 points. Arizona’s Pacific 10 Conference rivals in Stanford and Cal finished second and third respectively. “We could have won,” said senior Annie Chandler. “It came down to that final relay.” While as a whole the team was

unable to win a national championship, Arizona didn’t leave West Lafayette completely empty-handed. The Wildcats continued their NCAA dominance in relay events. “Arizona has a tradition of excellence in the relays,” Chandler said. “We have been winning the medley relays since I was a freshman. It’s expected from us.” For the third straight year at the NCAAs, the UA was National Champion in the 400y medley relay. Seniors Ana Agy, Justine Schluntz and Chandler, along with sophomore Whitney Lopus, defended their title in the race with a time of 3:29.76. “To be able to win this event three years in a row is amazing,” Agy said. “We didn’t necessarily talk about it a whole lot, but it was a goal of ours set at the beginning of the year.” Agy, Schluntz and Chandler weren’t done winning the hardware. The three reunited to win the 200y medley relay with fellow senior Erin Campbell. The

win was the first championship of Campbell’s UA career after her transfer from Washington. The group set a facility record with a time of 1:35.75. While Chandler has won many National Championships as a member of a relay team, an individual national championship had always alluded her — until this year. Chandler dominated the 100y breaststroke, finally giving her that first individual National Championship. “I’ve been wanting to do it for so long. It has really tested my patience,” Chandler laughed. “It’s definitely been a long time coming,” she added.“It’s something that I’ve been fighting for over these last three years.” With a time of 58.06, Chandler didn’t just win the race but also set an NCAA record. SWIM, page 12

Senior high jumper Liz Patterson took first place at her last NCAA Indoor Track and Field National Championship, the second of her career, as the women’s track and field team took 15th place at the indoor meet last weekend in Lafayette, Ark. Pacific 10 Conference foe Oregon won the meet, scoring 61 points. Meanwhile, Arizona’s Patterson jumped a height of 6 feet, 4 inches to win the women’s high jump, adding to the UA team score of 15.5 points and tying the Wildcats with Arkansas. “I started off OK,” Patterson said. “I was kind of iffy in the beginning, but near the end I got my stride back.” Patterson might have started off slow, but she certainly found her mojo. Near the final jumps, it became a battle between Patterson and Amber Kaufman from Hawaii. “She put pressure on me,” Patterson said. “She was with me the whole competition ‘til the last bar.” Freshman Brigetta Barrett, who competed in the high jump event for the first time at nationals, said she was proud of her elder teammate. “I know she could, I like to see people go out with a PR (personal record),”Barrett said.“We train together all the time, and it’s good to see her do well.” Barrett came in third in the women’s high jump overall and had her best clearance of 6 feet, 1/2 inch but feels she could have accomplished more. “I felt really good about finishing third, but I wanted to jump a lot higher,” Barrett said.“I wanted to show (jumps) coach Sheldon (Blockburger) I can perform at a high level.” The 15th-place finish was the highest for the Arizona women at the NCAA Indoor Championships since 2002. The Wildcats finished the second highest ranked school, with only national champion Oregon ahead in the rankings of Pac-10 schools. Meanwhile, the men finished with 5 points for a 35th-place tie. Freshman Nick Ross and senior Luis Rivera-Morales came in seventh and sixth in the men’s long jump, respectively. “I don’t feel like I did my best. That’s

why I’m more disappointed than I am happy,” said Ross. “My knee had been hurting, and I hadn’t been able to lift for about two weeks … my strength was off.“ Ross had surgery on his knee and will be out for at least four weeks. RiveraMorales achieved his sixth place finish with a jump of 25 feet, 9 1/4 inches. Blockburger said he was proud of what his athletes accomplished in the indoor championship. “First and third (place) is not bad for the girls,” he said.“I was hoping the guys would get fifth and sixth, but they still did all right.”

Outdoor Season begins

The Willie Williams Classic held at Drachman Stadium, marking the beginning of the 2010 outdoor season. While this meet was more of a practice meet, Arizona still showed the same speed and strength from the indoor season. TRACK, page 14

Learning weekend for ’Cats

Calif. hands softball two losses; Candrea gets 1,200th win By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT At the midpoint of the season, Arizona softball stands with a national No. 2 ranking and a 25-3 record. With just two weeks left before Pacific 10 Conference season begins the Wildcats headed to the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton, Calif., to face some tough competition on the road. Although Arizona completed the five game sweep at the Wildcat Invitational in Tucson, head coach Mike Candrea admitted, “We were trying to ramp things up and prepare for this weekend. We overmatched our opponents. Not a tremendous competition.” The competition in Fullerton was considerably tougher. A 16-game winning streak for Arizona softball was interrupted by No. 5 Michigan over the weekend. The Wildcats would also drop the final game of the tournament 2-1 to unranked Virginia despite the fact that freshman pitcher Kenzie Fowler only gave up one hit in the game — a home run by Virginia’s Nicole Koren. “It was one of those lessons. It’s not how many, it’s when,” Candrea said. Offensive struggles were the consistent factors in both of the Wildcats’ losses over the weekend. In the game against the Wolverines, Arizona only had one hit off the bat of left fielder Brittany Lastrapes. “It turned out to be a College World Series type game. It was a very hard fought game,” Candrea said. “(Michigan’s) Jordan Taylor kept us off-balance.”

Fowler was able to match Taylor’s intensity, keeping Michigan off the scoreboard for seven innings. It wasn’t until extra innings when the Wolverines would take the 1-0 advantage and the win. “We did good, we just didn’t get the hits when we needed to against Michigan and Virginia,” said freshman third baseman Brigette Del Ponte. “We probably should have won both games, we just didn’t.”

“

It was one of those lessons. It’s not how many, it’s when.

”

— Mike Candrea head coach

Arizona’s matchup with the University of New Mexico would be decided off the bat of Del Ponte, who leads the team in home runs with 10. Number 10 flew out of the park in the form of her fourth grand slam on the year. “I’m definitely surprised because I personally didn’t think I could hit off pitching at college level,” Del Ponte said of her success early in her colligate career. “I’m just going up to the plate with a clear head.” Lastrapes kicked off the tournament with a home run that would eventually lead to an 11-3 victory over No. 20 Louisville, giving Candrea his 1,200th NCAA Division

I win. The Cardinals are a familiar opponent to Arizona. “Louisville was a team we played in regionals last year,” Candrea said. “(Sarah) Akamine threw four innings, I had to bring Fowler in in the fifth.” Both Akamine and Fowler were able to go the distance in the circle for the Wildcats. Akamine pitched seven innings in Arizona’s 9-3 win over New Mexico. In California, Arizona was without the services of some of its regular lineup. Lini Koria, Baillie Kirker and Karissa Buchanan did not see playing time in some of the games this weekend. The injury bug bit the Wildcats on the road. In the Wildcats’ game against Oklahoma on March 19, freshman first baseman Kirker suffered bruised ribs and did not play the rest of the weekend. Right fielder Buchanan was sidelined after she split her finger in the New Mexico game. “That’s why our offense looked a little different,” Candrea said of the line up changes. With some of their starters out, underclassmen had to step in and fill vacant positions. Sophomore Alicia Banks saw playing time in both the New Mexico and Virginia games. Fowler even stepped up to the plate, seeing two at-bats in the game against the Cavaliers. The Wildcats will be on the road next weekend when they travel to New Mexico for three more games with the Lobos before going to Tempe to open their Pac-10 schedule against ASU.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats finding groove at right time By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The young Arizona baseball team has rattled off 11 straight wins, including a 10-6 win yesterday to complete a sweep of Sacramento State (6-11). Head coach Andy Lopez preached patience after Arizona (16-4) experienced some early season jitters in the form of inconsistent pitching, which resulted in losses in games that should have been won. But as Lopez promised, after some of those tough losses, the Wildcats have shown growth with each passing game. The pitching staff lowered its ERA to 3.85, while the offense has evolved into one of the most potent in the Pacific 10 Conference by winning games in dominant fashion. During the wining streak, Arizona outscored its opponents 128-35, riding the bat of sophomore Jett Bandy, who entered Sunday hitting a team-leading .481, good enough for second in the Pac-10. Veterans like Steve Selsky and Rafael Valenzuela continue to do damage at the top of the order, while Bryce Ortega has shaken off his slow start the last few games by contributing in the nine spot in the lineup. Though the returners have done their part, several freshmen on the roster are becoming more comfortable with the

college game and have propelled the Wildcats into winning form. Robert Refsnyder is second on the team in batting average and third in the Pac10, while Joey Rickard has swung his way into the leadoff spot after earning Pac-10 Player of the Week honors for the week of March 8-14. On the mound, freshman Kurt Heyer has solidified himself as the anchor of the pitching staff, remaining unbeaten at 3-0 on the season with an ERA of 2.10, while Tyler Hale and Nick Cunningham continue to work in late innings of close games.

Sophomore Kyle Simon has pitched better as of late after losing his spot as the Saturday starter. Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ERA currently sits at 3.43 after his solid start yesterday, when he pitched six innings while holding Sacramento State to just three earned runs. Arizona has caught fire at just the right time. With one more non-conference series against the University of New Mexico beginning on Tuesday, the pieces are falling into place. After the midweek series against the Lobos, the Wildcats will kick off conference play against the Oregon Ducks.

M-golf takes early exit By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat After finishing dead last in the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters and fourth place at the National Invitational Tournament, the Arizona men’s golf team was eager to begin play in the Callaway Match Play Championship, which began Sunday at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Marana, Ariz. However, Texas A&M made sure the Wildcats weren’t in contention for too long. The Aggies won three of the five matches that pitted Arizona against Texas A&M in the first round of the tournament. Juniors Tarquin MacManus and Rich Saferian were UA’s only golfers to prevail against their counterparts from the Lone Star State. Saferian and MacManus were both in control after the first hole, as neither fell behind in their match. Freshman Trent Redfern and sophomore Philip Bagdade were on the other end of that spectrum, as both trailed their entire matches. “Going into this week we had Trent (Redfern) playing in, like, his second varsity tournament, so we’re still trying to find that consistent

fifth spot,”Saferian said. Although the Wildcats are out of contention for the tournament championship, each participating school is guaranteed four matches. UA is currently leading its first consolation match against Middle Tennessee State — last year’s champion. “It looks like we’re going to win this match, so we’ll have two more and we definitely want to win those,” Saferian added. The match will be completed

today after play was suspended yesterday due to nightfall, and the winner will advance to face the winner of the Texas Tech vs. Washington match. Texas Tech, ASU, UCLA and Texas Christian University are all Golfweek/Sagarain top-20 teams that made a first round exit on Sunday. Third-round matches will begin with a 9:30 a.m. shotgun start today, and final-round matches will begin with an 8 a.m. shotgun start Tuesday.

W-hoops falls to Stanford By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Another chapter in Arizona women’s basketball lore was finally completed after NCAA Tournament dreams came to a close in Los Angeles with a loss to the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal, 72-52, on March 12. After squeezing by Washington State in the first round of the Pacific 10 Conference Tournament on March 11, the Wildcats (14-17, 6-12 Pac-10) were unable to quell the offensive juggernaut that is the Stanford Cardinal (31-1, 18-0). “We just didn’t have enough power down the stretch to stay in it,” said head coach Niya Butts. “But we fought

hard and I’m certainly proud of (the team) for that.” After the tip, Arizona’s upset dreams began fading fast. With 10:34 left in the first half, the Wildcats had only managed to put away 3-for-15 field goals, giving the Cardinal a 16-7 advantage. Turning toward Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and forward Ify Ibekwe , Arizona cut its deficit to three points after three consecutive Ibekwe buckets with 7:46 showing on the clock. Stanford’s offense opened up again and responded to the Wildcats push by orchestrating an 18-11 run over seven minutes of play, giving the Cardinal a 10-point, 34-24 lead going into the

locker room. “They’re so well-versed offensively,” Butts said. “If you don’t go at them, I think you’re just sitting back and playing into their hands.” Returning to the court, Stanford maintained the offensive hand for the first five minutes. With help from forwards Ibekwe and Soana Lucet, Arizona rallied back for a 9-2 run with the final bucket of the surge coming off a 3-point shot from guard Brooke Jackson that brought the Wildcats within three. The Arizona offensive spurt prompted Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer to W-HOOPS, page 12

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a complete shock,â&#x20AC;?she said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole team just ďŹ&#x201A;ooded the pool deck and they had tears in their eyes. It really was a cherry on top.â&#x20AC;? After waiting four years for her ďŹ rst individual title, Chandler only had to wait two days for her next one. She came up just short of winning the 200y breaststroke by ďŹ nishing third with a time of 2:07.68. While she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the race, Chandler did set a new UA record. Another senior who shined in her ďŹ nal meet was Schluntz. Not only was she a part of two relay championships, but she also found individual success by winning the consolation heat of the 50y freestyle with a time of 22.23. She also scored runnerup honors in the 100y freestyle consolation heat. Schluntzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relay teammate Campbell followed up her earlier relay championship with a seventh place ďŹ nish in the championship heat of the 100y butterďŹ&#x201A;y, earning her All-American honors. Also scoring All-American honors was senior Leone Vorster, whose time of 1:45.15 was good for seventh in the 200y freestyle. Vorster also placed runnerup in the consolation heat of the 500y freestyle.

W-HOOPS continued from page 10

The 200y backstroke proved to be the most successful individual race for the UA with ďŹ ve Wildcat swimmers placing. Seniors Caitlin Iversen and Agy ďŹ nished seventh and eighth in the championship heat of the race while the consolation heat featured top ďŹ nishes by Campbell and fellow senior Jenny Forster. While the seniors performed well in their ďŹ nal meet, the underclassman showed that the team will be in good hands next year. Freshman Ellyn Baumgardner put herself on the map by placing third behind Chandler in the 100y breaststroke. Other stand-out performance by an underclassman was sophomore Alyssa Anderson who earned a win in the consolation heat of the 200y ďŹ&#x201A;y with a time of 1:55.13. Anderson also earned All-American honors with her seventhplace ďŹ nish in the championship heat of the 500y freestyle. Despite not winning the National Championships, the team isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking at the season as a disappointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There deďŹ nitely are mixed reactions,â&#x20AC;? Chandler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the ďŹ rst-timers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to react, but this is not something that we can be disappointed about.â&#x20AC;?

Appel proves too much for â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Cats

bring in All-American Jayne Appel , whose sore ankle had kept her out for a majority of the contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Appel is a whole other dimension. She requires so much attention, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a great passer,â&#x20AC;? Butts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even when you double-team her, she finds the open player, and they just rotate

the ball so much better when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the post.â&#x20AC;? After back-to-back 3-pointers from guards Kayla Pedersen and Jeanette Pohlen and a jumper from guard JJ Hones , the Cardinal advantage returned to doubledigits from 11:47 until the final buzzer.

With a seven-point lead, Stanford turned toward Appel and Pac-10 Player of the Year Nnemkadi Ogwumike, whose combined efforts brought the next 14 Cardinal points and took Stanford to a 64-49 lead with three minutes left to play, the glass slipper all but breaking for Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cinderella story.

Season comes to close By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona gymnastics team fought hard but was unable to defeat the University of Denver in its last regular season meet. The Gymcats placed second at the meet, topping the California Golden Bears by a score of 195.325 to 192.450. The Gymcats’ slow start made it impossible to catch Denver, who finished with a 195.400 score. “I am very proud with the way they competed,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “You got to be proud with the way the team fought back and wouldn’t give up. We barely let a victory slip through our fingers, but I love the way this team competes.” The Gymcats struggled in the bar event, the first competition of the evening. The team was forced to count three scores that were 9.600 or less. They had one fall on bars, but were able to drop that score. “We definitely didn’t make it easy on ourselves in terms of having a fall on three events,”said assistant coach Colleen Johnson. After the first event, the Gymcats were in the third place and trailed Denver by 0.625. “We constantly got better, and we refused to give up,”Ryden said. “We started off on a little bit of a negative, but the thing about it was it was positive from there. The girls are not afraid to fight — the girls are not afraid to put it on the line.” “We were behind by fivetenths going into the last rotation and they had fire in their eyes and grit in their teeth.” Senior Sarah Tomczyk proved to be another bright spot for the Gymcats, earning a 9.900 and first place during the floor event. Tomczyk has earned a 9.9

or better during the floor event three meets in a row. “Sometimes it just takes a few a weeks to get back into the swing of things,” Tomczyk said. “Floor is one of those events that is one of those endurance things. I have hit other good scores during the season; otherwise I wouldn’t have a good average. “I feel great. I have always felt that floor has been my strongest event.That is how I made nationals last year.”

The Gymcats will be preparing for the Pacific 10 Conference Championships, which they will be hosting in McKale Center on Saturday. “I think sometimes we need to be confident when we start the meet,” Tomczyk said. “Sometimes we are a little tentative and hold back. Then at the end of the meet we are like, ‘OK, now let’s get aggressive.’ “We need to have that aggression for the whole meet.”

TRACK

Labonte sets shot put personal record

continued from page 8

Echos Blevins ran her usual race, the 4x400-meter, but also ran the 200-m race. “It wasn’t a lot for out first outdoor meet out of indoor season, but I know once the season really picks up I’ll have to run way more than that,” said Blevins. Junior LaTisha Holden took a break from the high hurdles

and ran the second leg of the 4x400-meter relay team. “It was cool because Echos Blevins and I got to go headto-head since we’re both second leg,” said Holden. “It’s almost like you’re at practice instead of at a meet.” Arizona’s ‘A’ relay team won the event with a time of 3:40. But junior Christina Rodgers

had the most impressive time of the day with her split time of 54.12 seconds. Freshmen, Julie Labonte set her new personal record in the women’s shot put while redshirt junior, Korion Morris came in second in the discus. Senior Brian MacArthur also won the men’s 1500-meter with a time of 3:55.
