Mock border wall blocks Mall UA clubs raise awareness with a 1,000-foot fence

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA clubs are trying to raise awareness about border issues by disturbing students’ daily routines.

The club No Más Muertes/No More Deaths erected a barbed-wire fence running nearly 1,000 feet along the south side of the UA Mall on Monday. The project, titled “Wall to Wall — Concrete Connections/Conexiones Concretas,” will remain in place until March 31.

The wall represents the border between the United States and Mexico as well as the wall between Israel and Palestine on the Palestinian West Bank, according to Gabriel Schivone, coordinator of No Más Muertes/No More Deaths and former Daily Wildcat columnist. The focus is on these two areas because they are funded by the United States, he said.

The wall is decorated with informational posters, signs with phrases such as “One World Unbordered,” and items including backpacks and gloves. Some students may be inconvenienced by the wall when trying to cross the Mall and walk to class. “(We are) wanting to create a crisis on campus to force the community to confront the issues that are so easily ignored and create a space to discuss these issues,” said Schivone, a UA student studying English.

raised money through grants, departmental donations and private donations to pay for the project. Campus organizations including the Women’s Resource Center, Students for Justice in Palestine

Presidential race now in hands of ASUA Supreme Court

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The outcome of the ASUA presidential election now rests in the hands of the student government’s Supreme Court.

Both Daniel Hernandez and James Allen, candidates for president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, were disqualified from the race due to an excess of campaign violations. Both have stated their intention to appeal the violations, handed down by ASUA Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti, to the ASUA Supreme Court.

Each candidate is allowed no more than nine violations during the election cycle and ASUA officials have declined to comment on the number or nature of the violations.

Colletti said both candidates had already built their cases and presented them to the court before departing for spring break .

ASUA Clerk of the Court Rebecca Hull said that the official written reports detailing both candidates’ statements disputing the violations will be delivered to the court on next Monday.

Both ASUA President Emily Fritze and Colletti confirmed that a special election would be triggered automatically if Allen were to remain disqualified, as per the ASUA Elections Code.

Hernandez cannot be declared the winner of the election unless he prevails in a subsequent special election.

Council sets GPA levels for fraternities

If Allen is able to successfully appeal enough of his violations to get below the threshold of 10, he will be declared the winner as the top vote recipient from the general election.

Colletti said ASUA is preparing for both possible outcomes by assembling candidate packets in case a special election becomes necessary.

A special election would require a total reboot of the election process, giving potential candidates time to collect signatures to be on the ballot and campaign, leading up to a few days of campus-wide voting.

“The entire process for a special election will take about 3 to 4 weeks after the hearing,” Colletti said.

Both Hernandez and Allen are eligible to run again if there is a special

election.

Colletti said that, as far as he was aware, the Supreme Court hearing is scheduled for March 30, and would be held in the James E. Rogers College of Law. This hearing would be open to the public, according to Colletti.

Allen and Hernandez have the option of being represented by council at the hearing, though only current UA law students are allowed to serve as council. The candidates will be notified of the court’s decision within 24 hours of the hearing and the decision will be published within 10 days.

The ASUA Supreme Court is made up of five students from the College of Law. The body serves as the sole interpreter of student government Rules of Procedure.

The Interfraternity Council voted to establish minimum academic requirements for men seeking membership in a council fraternity.

Men who bid from Feb. 1 onward who have completed 12 or more college credits must have attained at least a 2.5 cumulative college grade point average, and men who have completed fewer than 12 college credits must have attained at least a 3.0 cumulative high school GPA in order to be eligible for fraternity membership.

Steven Otero, the president of the Interfraternity Council, said he wanted to implement academic requirements because men in fraternities need to rededicate themselves to the core values that fraternities on campus were built on. In the past, Otero explained, the council was a place for “reaction,” meaning the council dealt with issues like rule breaking at parties after the fact. Now, he said this new rule could help the council become more proactive in rule enforcement.

“I felt if we could cut the problems at the recruitment end, we could solve a lot of these problems,” Otero said.

He added that the council has seen a decrease in Honors College pledges, and that these new requirements could show GPA, page 2

Student group finalizes opposition to ethnic studies ban

By Eliza Molk Arizona Daily Wildcat

A collection of students and ASUA representatives finalized a resolution against Arizona’s ethnic studies law, formerly H.B. 2281, and planned to present it to the ASUA Senate on Wednesday.

The bill, passed last year, prohibits courses advocating ethnic solidarity.

It states that students attending public schools should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not to resent other races or classes of people.

The Arizona Senate will decide if the Tucson Unified School District, which had its Mexican American/ Raza Studies Program eliminated under the law, is in compliance on April 18, the deadline to discontinue the program.

Changes were made to the drafted resolution to focus more on the potential impacts to higher education and TUSD, according to Francisco Lara Garcia, a senior majoring in political science and Latin American studies who drafted the resolution.

The final resolution states that ethnic studies enrich the educational

For the second offense, the chapter is also banned from participation in any recruitment events for the following semester.

Chapters are banned from participation in any recruitment events for the following two semesters after a third offense.

Otero said that these new requirements would have the biggest effect on men pledging in fall 2011. Numbers

Students of the University of Arizona, said she does not think the resolution will pass in the ASUA Senate on Wednesday because they will want to get feedback from the overall student population first to see if the resolution is representative. She did, however, say that the students advocating the resolution should present it to the senate this Wednesday if they want to start generating attention around the issue.

“The resolution is about sending a message, and we should want to move it forward as quickly as possible,” Garcia said.

Katherine Weingartner added that the resolution has a higher chance of passing in the senate if those advocating the resolution can prove the resolution has student support.

She explained they could present statistics about how students educated by ethnic studies classes exceed on standardized tests, or the history behind ethnic studies.

The students advocating the resolution plan to compile a presentation explaining their resolution. They also plan to circulate a petition throughout the week in order to gain student support for the resolution.

Joseph Bendah, the president of Alpha Epsilon Pi, said he pushed for the GPA requirement because grades should reflect the high standards to which greek organizations are supposed to hold their members. He explained that the requirements would help fraternities bid men who are the “cream of the crop.”

stand why they want to join,” Otero said.

“This policy will signal to people that fraternities want people to succeed academically just as much as other organizations.”

WALL continued from page 1 Planning for the wall began about eight months ago, according to Schivone. The idea came from the 300-foot wall erected by Chicano/ Hispano Student Affairs a few years ago, he said.

Schivone said No Más Muertes/No More Deaths created the mock border with the idea that these walls dehumanize people and separate communities.

“We don’t have to (represent both sides of the issue) and we didn’t,” Schivone said. “All of the allies are opposing the wall in general and barriers of all sorts.”

Schivone said he thinks awareness of border issues is low on the UA campus.

“Nonetheless, I think people would care and are compassionate,” he said. “If presented with this information, I think they would act.”

The disruption created by the wall will help inform students, said Curiel, a junior studying history and political science.

“It’s right smack-dab in the middle,” he said. “Some people will be upset and bothered by it because they have to walk around.

But (the border is) a reality people live with.”

Avoiding the wall when walking to class will be irritating after 10 days, said Kaitlin Morris, a prephysiology freshman.

“I have to walk around,” she said. “I always cut through the grass. I’m lazy.”

Morris said she read the posters after seeing the wall and thinks it is important to raise issues surrounding the border.

“People can say whatever they want,” she said.

“They always have stuff out here (on the Mall).”

Biosystems engineering junior Maria Guzman said she has visited the border

between the United States and Mexico and thinks students already know about the issues.

“Everybody’s aware in Arizona,” Guzman said.

“We’re close to the border.

If you’re not aware, you’re living under a rock.”

The wall will continue to be decorated with items and information throughout the next 10 days. Schivone said he hopes students’ frustration will cause them to take notice.

“It may be irritating, inconvenient and disruptive to daily life, but that’s what walls do,” he said.

NATION & WORLD Food contamination fears spread beyond Japan’s borders MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS LOS ANGELES — Concern over food contaminated by radiation from areas surrounding the troubled nuclear plant in Fukushima spread beyond Japan’s borders Monday with world health officials warning of the potential dangers posed by the tainted food and one Japanese restaurant in Taiwan serving up radiation gauges alongside its meals.

World Health Organization officials told reporters Monday that Japan should act quickly to ban food sales from areas around the damaged nuclear plant, saying radiation in food is more dangerous than radioactive particles in the air because of accumulation in the human body. “Walking outside for a day and eating food repeatedly are two different things. This is why they’re going to have to take some decisions quickly in Japan to shut down and stop food being used completely from zones which they feel might be affected,� spokesman Gregory Hartl said, according to The Associated Press.

In a Q&A on its website, the organization advised that consuming food tainted with radioactive material, while indistinguishable to the naked eye, could lead to an increased likelihood of certain cancers. People living near the plant who may have consumed produce or animal products with radiation should seek medical attention, the organization said.

Japanese officials said over the weekend that higher-thannormal levels of radiation had been detected in milk, spinach and some water supplies from regions surrounding the nuclear plant damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. Officials

3 high military commanders join Yemen’s opposition MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

have banned the sale of some food items at risk of contamination and advised residents of a village northeast of the plant not to drink tap water.

The spreading alarm has led to government officials and others in neighboring nations to increase scrutiny of produce coming from Japan.

Officials in China, South Korea and the Philippines have ordered the screening of imports from Japan for radiation contamination, according to news reports. China imported $593 million worth of agricultural products from Japan last year, according to the Chinese Xinhua News Agency.

One upscale Japanese restaurant in Taiwan is not taking any risks.

An eatery called Peony in Taipei’s

business and financial district is offering a radiation gauge to its diners, Reuters reported. “I can give my customers a promise: If you eat at Peony I guarantee that everything you get will be the safest and the best,� manager Catherine Yang told Reuters.

In Japan, chief Cabinet spokesman Yukio Edano asked the public not to overreact to reports of food contamination, saying: “Even if you eat contaminated vegetables several times, it will not harm your health at all,�

Kyodo News Agency reported.

Edano said Tokyo Electric Power Co., which owns the Fukushima plant, would compensate farmers who are affected by the ban in food sales, according to Kyodo.

CAIRO — Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh’s ruling coalition continued to crumble Monday as three top military commanders joined the opposition.

Maj. Gen. Ali Muhsin Saleh cited the killing of more than 50 civilians by government loyalists in a statement recorded for the al-Jazeera television network. He has family ties to the president and is chief of the military’s powerful first brigade. “The state, represented by the president, is totally responsible for the blood that was shed,� he said, noting that his defection was “an answer to the developments in the streets.�

The other resignations came from the general’s prominent subordinates, Brigadiers Mohammed Ali Mohsen and Hameed Qusaibi, who share responsibility for Yemen’s war-torn northwest. The army has battled there with Shiite rebels for almost a decade.

Meanwhile, protesters outside Sana University, near the center of the capital city, reported that some loyalist soldiers have begun to withdraw from the demonstration area.

They were replaced by soldiers under the command of Muhsin Saleh’s men, a devel-

opment the crowd met with jubilation. “This is our most important victory so far,� said Issam Badr, a 19-year-old pharmacist who has attended the demonstrations since they began early last month. “No more thugs can kill us with impunity,� he said. “Everybody here welcomes the first brigade and salutes its soldiers for their patriotism and for helping the nation at this critical time.�

The military defections follow a flurry of resignations in recent days that included the president’s representative to the United Nations and key Cabinet ministers. The president sacked his entire Cabinet late Sunday in an apparent effort to preempt further resignations.

Despite the president’s mounting troubles, however, his security forces were visible throughout the city Monday and controlled major intersections and government buildings.

Saleh, a strongman who has ruled for 33 years, is considered a master political tactician, and few longtime observers were ready to predict an imminent departure. “The government is experienced in managing divisions, however large, to its benefit,� said Abdul Rahman Marwani, a political analyst in Yemen.

“Weird� Al Yankovic received a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.

He also served as valedictorian of his high school at age 16.

judge Col. Gadhafi on his actions.�

There has been no coverage of any ceasefire on tightly controlled Libyan state television. Instead it has been showing nonstop stock footage of steely eyed soldiers in uniform driving tanks, launching rockets and boarding transport helicopters, suggesting that the war effort continued.

Gadhafi has dealt harshly with his enemies in the past. A 1997 law allows Libyan authorities to punish a family or even an entire village for crimes allegedly committed by an individual in their midst, although a judiciary official told The Los Angeles Times in recent days that the law was no longer being implemented.

Although rebel advances have been reported in recent days against Gadhafi’s forces in the country’s east, witnesses told The Times and pan-Arab television channels that pro-Gadhafi snipers were opening fire on people in Misurata, Libya’s third-largest city and the last major rebel stronghold in the country’s west.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s forces continued to battle rebels Monday in the oppositioncontrolled city of Misurata despite the government’s claims of a cease-fire and a Western-led bombing campaign meant to halt attacks on civilians.

Opposition supporters in Misurata described intense combat between rebels and pro-Gadhafi fighters within the city.

One source in the city who requested anonymity for security reasons charged that government forces were using civilians as human shields, an accusation also made by residents to Reuters news service. The accounts could not be confirmed. Gadhafi’s regime has barred independent observers from entering the city and has cut off telephone lines and Internet connections.

Civilians are caught both physically and rhetorically in the middle of a conflict that

was sparked by fears that Gadhafi was about to seize opposition-held cities such as Benghazi and Misurata with offensives that might kill many inhabitants. Now, Tripoli also claims that the forces of the international coalition forces have slain civilians, a claim rejected by Western officials.

Gadhafi’s armed forces have twice declared dozens of noncombatants killed following a decision Thursday by the United Nations Security Council to authorize the imposition of a no-fly zone over Libyan airspace and take “any necessary measures� to prevent a humanitarian disaster in opposition strongholds.

U.S., British and French aircraft began hitting Gadhafi’s forces with airstrikes and cruise missiles early Sunday morning, and the strikes will likely continue.

British Maj. Gen. John Lorimer said that despite Gadhafi’s claims of a cease-fire, “there has been no evidence to suggest there has been any change in the stance of the Libyan military. ... We will continue to

EDITORIAL Tuition increases are no surprise

T

elling people, “I’m poor and debt is scary” never gets old, no matter how many times you say it. Tuition increases, however, do.

Maybe it’s because, no matter how many times it happens, the panic that springs up in you when you hear the words “tuition hike” feels fresh and raw, as if instead of happening for the last few years, this tuition increase business is entirely new. Of course, in some ways it is; next year, combined in-state tuition and fees could exceed $10,000 for the first time ever if the Arizona Board of Regents accepts the UA’s proposal. This proposal, announced on Friday, would raise in-state undergraduate tuition by $1,500. Out-of-state tuition would go up by $600, and student fees would increase by $300.

As students, we have to understand that the budget crisis is an unfortunate reality. When Gov. Jan Brewer proposes a $67 million budget cut to the UA, and the state Senate outdoes her with a proposed $92 million cut, the university has to find somewhere to offset the loss. That’s just logic.

We also understand that we are not the only people scrambling for a plan in case the regents accept the UA’s proposals. Brewer proposed a combined $170 million cut to all three state universities, and the Senate proposed cutting an additional $65 million, bringing the cut to higher education funding up to $235 million. All three of the state’s universities will have to take a hit.

So we haven’t been tapped for special treatment. We’re not unique. But we’re still poor and debt is still scary.

UA President Robert Shelton affirmed the university’s commitment to financial aid, but also said the UA was working to cut $39 million from its budget in addition to tuition and fee increases. The proposed tuition hike would raise only $22 million more in revenue, and the UA would have to continue to offset costs elsewhere. This will be done through staff reductions and the consolidation or elimination of programs, Shelton said. But how much more can other areas of the budget take? In an article on March 19, Shelton told the Arizona Daily Star that, as a last resort, the UA could trim financial aid.

That possibility comes on top of last week, when, by a vote of 20 to 10, the Arizona Senate voted to permanently end state investments in need-based financial aid. According to the Arizona Republic, 52 percent of undergraduate students in the state graduated with debt last year. The average amount of debt was $19,946.

Inevitably, those numbers will continue to skyrocket upward. Arizona’s college students can’t expect a miracle. But when the regents decide on tuition proposals, we should hope they realize that it’s getting old.

MAILBAG Cut waste before education

On “Take a tuition hike” (March 21): I thought that tuition wasn’t supposed to keep going up after the sales tax increase that we all got bullied into voting for last year.

After the $275 increase in student fees, the proposed tuition increase is $1,775. That is over a 20 percent increase in tuition at one shot.

That, combined with a probable $750 decrease in Pell Grants for next year means, for many of us, effectively a $2525 tuition increase. That is four months of rent! For those of us that are scraping by on grants and loans, this is not only unaffordable but also irresponsible.

How many talented minds are going to be stifled and forced to enter the minimum wage work force because they are being forced to choose between their education and a roof over their head?

There are plenty of places to make cuts from the budget without affecting the educational value of this school and without increasing tuition to the point that many of us are left wondering how we will pay it and rent next year. Spring Fling, dances, $3 lunches, campus clubs and Greek affiliations are all fun diversions for students, but not fundamental to a college education. Start making cuts to programs that are more related to the social experience in college than to the educational experience. Remember what, in the end, we are all here for: an education that can help propel us to the greatest heights of our abilities, not the social experience of a lifetime.

Decepticons Johnny McKay Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

was recently engaged in an eloquent conversation about the intricacies of skydiving over Facebook Chat with a male friend of mine. As we reached the subject of fear at the lip of the plane, I played the machismo card and boastfully claimed that I would be void of fearful human instinct. Unimpressed, he replied, “Just wait till you’re looking down 12,900 feet.” Then: “;)” There was a silence. The emoticon hung grotesquely in the air for a few seconds.

Then there was furious typing from the other end, and: “I immediately regret that winky face.”

The purpose of this anecdote is to show the complete social evolution of simple sideways faces in the past five years. A very defined dynamic has become attached to these previously insignificant symbols. Where they were once just substitutes for facial expressions during the pioneer days of social networking, they now carry heavy implicational baggage with each one.

Winky face is no longer a winky face; it is a hundred and one connotations, most of them unmentionable in print. The entire emoticon experience has mutated into a completely different experience, one that I’m sure the creator could never have imagined when he placed that fateful parenthesis next to a colon and exclaimed “Eureka!”

Smiley faces — :) — are the most ubiquitous and overused of emoticon arsenal. When I see it in a text, I can only

imagine that you are grinning manically on the other end as you type. Because of this image, it is only acceptable in very specific contextual messages. Yes: “I just overdosed on ecstasy :) :) :)” No: “Let’s get some lunch :) :) :)” Unless we are feasting on the happiness in people’s souls, I do not want to be confronted with smiley faces. They’re meant to give a positive vibe to texts, the equivalent of “haha” preceding most sentences. (“haha, well if you don’t pay rent I’m going to ship your dog to a location of my choosing. haha.”) However, their use is getting out of hand, and I don’t need a chorus of smiling creeps invading every mundane message I receive.

Smiley faces are also greatly useful in the battlefield of love. :) is the gateway drug to the winky face: the first bought drink of shorthand correspondence.

A winky face played too early comes off as creepy and desperate. A smiley face is a potentially innocent add-on, although most are catching on to its ulterior motives. A well-utilized smiley face can avoid sexual over-aggression, taking the edge off of the seductive winky face.

Modern social norms have transcribed this simple combination of “;” and “)” into the most coy and forward facial experience in the world. Megan Fox pursing her lips on a cherry popsicle would have nothing on the ;), even though I would love to see Mark Zuckerberg turn that first scenario into

a secret emoticon. We have managed to turn “laugh out loud” into “lol,” “be right back” into “brb” and now, “whatever I just typed is superfluous, we should have sex” into “;)” Anyone who doubts the forward evolution of the human race needs only to look to this phenomenon to see that we are clearly on the right track.

Winky and smiley are the two most obvious examples, but many others have popped up in my daily communication in this modern era.

One of my favorites is the coalition of X and D. XD can only be expressed as, “DJ Tiesto just shot an ecstasy pill into my face, and this is what the happiest dent in my face looks like.” I try to convey this level of intensity in most of my outgoing texts, so I’m a big fan.

Another celebricon is the :-P, which allows you to show how wacky your mentioned actions were. This emoticon comes with the pre-bottled connotation of “disregard the theological, criminal and moral implications of my story, I was just being wacky.” It’s a great way to immediately remove the edge off of any admissions (“I just burned down the precinct :P. Lets have anarchy sex ;)”) The evolution of technology and the shorthand movement is still going strong, and as we approach the literary singularity, we’ll soon be able to express entire novels in emoticons. (“War and Peace: >:-( & :|” I think you’ve already seen “Moby Dick.”)

Perhaps an over-prediction, but I think we all know that it’s not far off. Until then, you should probably come over and watch a movie or something. ;) — Johnny McKay is the multimedia editor of the Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Take action in war on education Andrew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

t’s official, the state Legislature has declared war on education. Last week, the Arizona Senate proposed its budget, which includes a $235 million cut to higher education and a $250 million cut to K-12 education. If that figure remains intact, students can expect tuition and fees to rise by more than 22 percent. Once more, the Legislature has chosen to balance the budget on the backs of students, claiming there to be large amounts of waste in the system. Unfortunately, those of us that don’t suffer from amnesia know that education funding has been repeatedly cut for the past several years, leaving very little fat left to trim. Worst of all, our legislators continue to get away with it. So, it’s time for those who see the value of a good education to begin fighting back.

Every time the Legislature proposes cuts to the education system, organizations like the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Arizona Students’ Association organize large rallies on campus and at the Capitol to try to persuade members of the Legislature to cut less. These organizations work nonstop, lobbying legislators and speaking with allies in the community. However, despite the efforts put forth and success they

have had in the past, it still isn’t enough.

Something more drastic needs to be done to show the Legislature that Arizonans will not continue to put up with this constant devaluing of education.

Unfortunately, picket signs on the Capitol grounds don’t seem to have an effect on members of the Republican caucus or the general public. So this begs the question, what can be done?

Forgive me for sounding like a 1960s radical, but it’s time for some good old civil disobedience. Perhaps we could learn from the protesters in Wisconsin and stage a sitin inside the Capitol building, or even in one of the buildings on campus (students at the University of California, Berkeley did it in 2009). The truth is that something must be done to show the Legislature that we’re fed up. It’s clear they couldn’t care less what students think, but an act like that would certainly draw a significant amount of attention. Keep in mind that protesters in Wisconsin may not have prevented the budget from being passed, but they ended the fight with public opinion on their side.

We can’t forget K-12 education either.

For too long K-12 teachers have been undervalued, underpaid and underappreciated. Maybe a large group of

teachers should walk off the job one day to show exactly how vital to society they actually are.

Unfortunately there are no other options left. We’ve tried huge protests on campus and at the Capitol. They get one day’s news coverage and are then forgotten. It’s time to stand up for our rights as students, and yes, we do have rights. After all, in our state’s constitution it explicitly states that a college education should be “as nearly free as possible.” There may be nothing we can do to prevent this bill from passing, but with a bold move such as this, maybe the public will be more apt to remember education next time they’re voting for their state legislators.

There’s a good chance that if significant attention is drawn to this issue, that public opinion will be on the side of education.

Remember that just last year voters approved a tax increase to prevent further cuts to the education system. Also keep in mind that one of the main reasons Janet Napolitano was elected in both 2002 and 2006 was her strong stance on education.

This isn’t something that can be led by ASUA or ASA. All nonviolent, nondestructive options are on the table. The message must be heard that students will no longer put up with consistently being spit on by members of the Legislature.

Man ejected from McKale for flashing players

A non-UA affiliated Tucsonan male was ejected from McKale Center on March 17 at 5:12 p.m.

The man was seated in section 7 of during the University of Wisconsin and Belmont University game in the second round of the NCAA basketball tournament.

University of Arizona Police Department officers approached the man after a report that he was drinking excessive amounts of alcohol.

The officers also found that the man was using his phone’s camera flash to distract players during free throw attempts.

The man, who was over 21 years old, was escorted from McKale Center for disorderly conduct.

Older female races fast and furious 21-year-old

A 34-year-old non-UA affiliated female goaded a 21-year-old male into a race, resulting in both drivers’ arrest by UAPD. A UAPD officer witnessed two cars drag race from the intersection at Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue toward Cherry Avenue.

At Cherry Avenue, one of the cars slowed down and backed off. The other car continued at a high velocity toward Campbell Avenue.

The officer pulled over the first vehicle and spoke with the female driver.

“I know it was wrong to race,” she said.

The officer cited and released her for racing on a highway, which is a criminal traffic offense.

After citing the woman, the officer was able to catch up to the other vehicle involved in the street race on Speedway Boulevard.

“I know it was wrong to race,” the man said. “But, she was making fun of me and laughing because I have a Kia.” The second driver was also cited and released.

‘Edible panties’ not part of spring break diet

A non-UA affiliated male was removed from Hopi Residence Hall by UAPD after he was found living there during spring break.

A female resident of the hall reported the man, who said that he was staying in his girlfriend’s room, to UAPD on March 16.

After talking about Spring Break, the two exchanged phone numbers.

Soon after getting the resident’s phone number, the man texted her about hanging out.

She told him that she had a boyfriend and was very busy writing a paper.

Over the next two days, the man sent her no less than 10 text messages.

The man ran into her again in the hall on March 16 and said that he was heading out to get something to eat.

After she denied him again, he sent her a text message saying, “I can’t find any food, do you have any edible panties? Just kidding, haha.”

She told the officer that at this point she started feeling “creeped out.”

As the officer was finishing the interview with the resident, her window was knocked on.

She moved the blinds to find that it was the man.

The officer then went outside and met with him.

He told the officer that the two had exchanged phone numbers and that he thought they were friends.

He said he was trying to get to know her, but she kept telling him that she was busy and had a boyfriend.

The officer advised him of UA Residence Life policy about unescorted guests, and he said that he did not know that the policy existed because his girlfriend said that it would be OK. The officer and the community director of the hall then asked him to leave.

Three hours later, a resident assistant found the man attempting to get into his girlfriend’s room.

The officer returned to the hall and told the man to leave immediately or face being trespassing charges.

He said that he understood and left again without incident.

Swedish woman finds condom in milk container

A Swedish woman is soured on a popular sour milk drink after discovering a packaged condom inside the container.

According to The Local, the woman, who lives in the town of Gunnilse, reportedly found the foul item Monday while pouring the last drops of “filmjolk,” a fermented milk product similar to buttermilk, into her dog’s food bowl.

The woman’s daughter, Milica, said that as her mom poured the creamy liquid into the doggie

Milica says the incident ruined both her and her mom’s appetite for days.

“She’s started to eat again, but she’s never going to buy filmjolk again,” Milica told the Swedish newspaper Expressen.

Meanwhile,KatarinaMalmstrom, a customer service representative fromArla Foods — the Scandinavian dairy cooperative that produced the filmjolk — is doubtful that the con-

“It’s impossible … there’s not a chance,” she said. “It’s a closed process and there are filters and things that would stop something so large from ending up in a container.”

Malmstrom says it will take several days before technicians at the company are able to figure when and how the condom ended up in the filmjolk.

Q

Why is alcohol socially acceptable when it seems to be a huge cause of mortality in the U.S.?

its association with motor vehicle fatalities, sexual A. Despite assaults, unintentional injuries and a host of other health

concerns, many choose to drink. For those who imbibe and do so in a way that lessens these risks, the reasons are obvious: alcohol clearly has benefits which outweigh its costs.

In the long list of substances we humans have consumed to alter or enhance our reality, alcohol ranks at the top for both its long history and widespread use. Few drugs can match its dual nature: is it a social lubricant that brings people together for good, or a menace that leaves addiction, violence, disease, and untimely death in its wake? The answer is, of course, that it’s both. As anthropologist David Mandlebaum noted back in 1965, alcohol “may be either a sacred or profane act, depending on the context.”1 In other words, wine may be a holy sacrament, or simply a means to getting drunk.

How alcohol is used, as well as how it is perceived can make a difference. Some cross-cultural research has identified traits associated with non-abusive drinking practices and low rates of alcoholism. These behaviors include drinking that: 1) is celebratory and inclusive of non-drinkers, 2) is done in conjunction with eating, 3) is not considered an escape from personal anxiety or difficult personal problems, 4) occurs with both sexes and across generations, 5) is not considered a “rite of passage” and, 6) does not condone inappropriate, aggressive or violent behavior in conjunction with alcohol use.2 For societies as well as individuals, it’s both the “how” and the “how much” that largely predicts whether alcohol’s benefits are worth its collective costs. As the drug of choice in America, alcohol will always be around – the question is how we choose to use it.

Arizona baseball bounces back ’Cats prepare for Pac-10 play with weekend sweep

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Kyryl Natyazhko, left, backs toward the hoop in Arizona’s 70-69 win against Texas on Sunday. The 6-foot-11 sophomore’s defense helped contain Texas’ big man Tristan Thompson, who only scored three points and went 1-for-4 from the field in the game.

Key defense, team play essential to Arizona’s win against Texas

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Prior to Sunday, the Arizona Wildcats didn’t own one signature win.

A win over then-No. 22 Washington on Jan. 10, 2010, was the only time head coach Sean Miller’s team has toppled a top-25 squad.

But after defeating the No. 4 seed Texas Longhorns to advance to the Sweet 16, the Wildcats can claim their first legitimate milestone victory. Miller said the first half of the 70-69 nail-biter was undoubtedly one of the best defensive halves of the season and against an elite Texas team, no less.

“It gave us a chance,” Miller said. “The days of advancing on just good offense has ended.

It’s a matter of being able to do both.”

When it comes down to it, forward Derrick Williams’ struggling offense didn’t matter. In fact, he went with the game plan and skillfully executed a first half defense that helped put the Longhorns in a bind they couldn’t unwind.

That game plan all hinged on shutting

down Texas’ young gun.

Freshman forward Tristan Thompson was supposedly the real deal.

Ranked No. 22 on DraftExpress.com’s 2011 mock draft, he’s a bully around the basket and a long, athletic defender to boot.

It looked like he’d get going early, scoring on a dunk on Texas’ first offensive play. After that, he didn’t hit a shot, going 0-for-3 for the rest of the game with Williams and his defenses draped on the freshman.

“We had a game plan that, to me, I thought was solid,” Miller said. “We wanted to trap Tristan Thompson.”

Even with Williams picking up his third foul in the first half, center Kyryl Natyazhko came off the bench and found success against the lanky freshman. Natyazhko’s 275-pound frame disrupted Thompson, forcing him into his two turnovers.

“No easy catches, no easy buckets,” Natyazhko said of the game plan. “I mean, I’m not a small guy. Just be physical with him without fouling.”

Williams’ déjà vu

Before the game against the Longhorns, Williams was asked about how difficult it is to play against teams that don’t run a zone defense and have size in the frontcourt.

Against the then-No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks, Williams noted, he helped tack four fouls on twin forwards Marcus and Markieff Morris, plus three more on forward Thomas Robinson.

On Sunday, against the Texas frontline of Thompson, small forward Jordan Hamilton and Williams’ main defender, Gary Johnson, Williams drew four fouls apiece.

Parrom’s injury

Reserve forward Kevin Parrom saw less court time than expected against Texas, playing only 15 minutes after spraining his ankle on Sunday.

Parrom said he tweaked it while coming down on a Texas player’s foot. Though he was limited, he said he expects to be fine for Thursday’s game against Duke.

Q& A The Arizona connection Steve Kerr enjoying broadcasting life, Arizona basketball

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT TULSA, Okla. — With Arizona Wildcat basketball connections aplenty during the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament in Tulsa, Okla., the man calling the Wildcats’ games was none other than former UA guard Steve Kerr. After stepping down from his general manager position for the Phoenix Suns last season, Kerr talked with the Daily Wildcat on Monday about his new gig as a college broadcaster and the state of the Arizona program.

Daily Wildcat: How’s life been after going from a GM back to broadcasting?

Kerr: It’s going well, I’m enjoying it. Definitely have a better lifestyle, more time at home with my family. I definitely miss a lot of people in Phoenix, the team, the coaches and stuff. But it’s been a good move for me.

Has your son (Nick Kerr) chosen a college?

He’s a senior in high school right now, he’s going to the University of San Diego next year.

I guess you’ve been having enough time to watch him develop?

Yeah, I’ve gotten to see a lot of his games this year, and my younger two kids as well, and all their stuff that they have going on. It’s definitely a family and a personal decision more than career-related. But that said, I really love what I’m doing and really enjoying the broadcasting.

How different is it doing college (broadcasting) than doing NBA stuff?

It’s a lot different because there’s a lot more preparation involved. For the NBA, I’ve been

doing it for so long that I know every player before the game starts. And in college, with some of the more obscure teams, I will literally not know anybody on that team, you know, a couple days before the broadcast. It’s almost like back at the U of A cramming for a final. There’s a lot of preparation involved.

Do you think that’s maybe the same reason why there’s so many upsets, because teams don’t play each other? They never see each other until the tournament, does that have a big effect? Like VCU, nobody’s seen them.

I think that’s part of it. Teams aren’t as familiar with each other come tournament time, they run into somebody they haven’t seen. But most of it is just the format.

It’s just one game. You don’t have to beat a team four times, you only have to beat them once. There’s a lot of talent out there. Even the smaller schools have good players. Anybody’s capable of pulling off an upset.

For you personally, your broadcast teams, it seems like they always put you with Phoenix in the NBA or the U of A. Do they do that to you on purpose because you know the teams so well, or does it just happen?

It just happened. In fact, I was scheduled to go to Tulsa six weeks ago, way before Arizona ended up being seeded here.

So it’s just a coincidence. Same

thing with Phoenix. If I do a Phoenix game, it’s just the luck of the draw. There really isn’t any thought that goes into it in terms of whether I know a team or not.

It’s just the way it works out.

What do you think of Arizona?

Nobody really expected them to upset Texas like that.

It’s just been a phenomenal season. I just think we’re so lucky to have Sean Miller as our coach.

The way he’s turned things around so quickly is remarkable. He’s a fantastic basketball coach and exactly the kind of person you want representing our school. We’re really lucky to have him.

What do you think of Derrick (Williams) and his draft stock and what he has to work on?

It seems like he could improve a lot in college but then again, when you’re projected that high, what do you do?

He’s got a tough decision ahead of him.

He’s going to be a high pick if he comes out. He’s a great player, a great talent. But he, like any college kid, can get a lot better if he stays.

Defensively is the biggest area of where he needs to improve, just his weak side awareness, and rotations and recognition.

Problem these days is that everybody is in such a rush to get to the NBA. When I was in school, Sean Elliott was the player of the year in college; he stayed through his senior year and went on, had a brilliant NBA career.

That’s what guys did back then.

It’s a different era right now. You can’t blame anybody for leaving because there’s a lot of money involved. He’s a great player, a great kid and really proud to have him representing our school.

During the last three days, Arizona right fielder Steve Selsky has found out that good things come to those who wait.

Selsky, who made his home debut for the No. 15 Wildcats after missing 16 games with a broken bone in his right hand, went 5-of14 during the three-game sweep of the University of San Francisco Dons (9-11), hitting two home runs and driving in six runs.

“I’m still trying to get comfortable.

I’m trying to get my body used to reacting to off-speed pitches,” Selsky said. “That’s going to come with seeing more pitches. After not swinging a bat for five and a half weeks and just getting right back into it, I’m pleased with being able to swing. I like suiting up with these guys, so I’m just really happy.”

Arizona (16-5), having swept its final series before the start of Pacific 10 Conference play, is high on confidence heading into this weekend’s showdown with No. 6 ASU after outscoring the Dons 29-5.

“There’s a lot of intensity, there’s a lot on the line (in Pac-10 play),” said Arizona head coach Andy Lopez.

“That’s where you make or break your season. To have a little momentum after coming out and doing what they did, that’s impressive.”

The struggling Arizona bullpen found a groove, giving up only two runs in 7.1 innings of work while allowing only five hits.

“I thought (Bryce) Bandilla did a good job, and (Matt) Chaffee did a good job,” Lopez said. “It was good coming off of the Wichita State experience, it was good to see those guys pitch good this week and weekend.”

The “Wichita State experience” featured the Arizona bullpen giving up 10 earned runs and 11 free passes over 9.8 innings in two games.

Bryce Bandilla may have been the biggest culprit against the Shockers — walking five over 3.2 innings pitched — but the flame-throwing leftie settled in against USF, not allowing a run in three innings pitched.

The importance of a solid bullpen was highlighted in Sunday’s 8-5 victory when USF brought the tying run to the plate in the seventh inning, but Bandilla got Nick Balog to strike out — ending the Don rally.

Snapping the skid?

After a miserable start to the 2011 season, junior catcher Jett Bandy seems to have finally snapped his slump. Aside from looking more comfortable at the plate during the sweep of USF, Bandy went 7-for-18 over his last 19 plate appearances, lifting his season average to .253.

Gymnastics heads to NCAA regionals The No. 20 Arizona gymnastics team will head to Denver on April 2. The Wildcats moved up from No. 24 after an impressive showing at the Pacific 10 Conference Championships.

Arizona will be greeted by some tough competition. The No. 1 ranked team in the country, the University of Florida, will also be in Denver.

Arizona is the No. 5 seed behind: No 12. Arkansas, No. 13 Boise State and the host school, No 19 Denver.

Brigham Young University is also in the grouping as the number six seed.

“We are going to use this week to get our bodies healthy,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “We haven’t had a bye week all year and at this point rest is just as important as training.”

Sophomore all-arounder Molly Quirk could use the extra rest after spraining her ankle and knee at the Pac-10 Championships. Ryden expects Quirk to spend a lot of time in the training room but thinks she should be able to go by the time the competition starts.
