Student housing pushes out store

The exchange between Brown and Cabrera broke out after the question and answer session of the forum.

State’s ethnic studies ban provokes debate, emotion Students in Mexican-American studies program decry dismantling of program

By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT

The introduction to Kim Dominguez’s speech was brief and to the point.

“I’m angry, so I have to read from what I wrote, otherwise I’ll say all kinds of crazy things,” she said.

Dominguez, an undergraduate student in the Mexican-American studies program, was one of several speakers at a forum hosted on Thursday by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona on the UA Mall. The

forum addressed the removal of ethnic studies courses from Tucson Unified School District’s curriculum, formerly filed as House Bill 2281.

The goal of the forum was to educate the UA community about the issue and encourage public discourse between proponents and opposition, according to ASUA Senators Jason Brown, a political science senior, and Blanca Delgado, a public health junior.

HB 2281 was originally proposed in 2010 by Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne, who previously served

as the state superintendent for public instruction. The bill sought to end ethnic studies in public schools throughout the state, arguing that it violated the policy “that public school pupils should be taught to treat and value each other as individuals and not be taught to resent or hate other races or classes of people.”

With ethnic studies courses now removed from TUSD’s curriculum as of Jan. 10, members of the UA community were encouraged to voice their opinions after hearing speakers from both sides

of the debate.

Dominguez credited the Mexican-American studies program she went through in high school for why she is now a UA student, and went on to say the law’s proponents were “white, privileged men who certainly don’t make it any easier for a woman of color to not resent them after attacking and destroying a program that saved (her) life and did not belong to them.”

“If we call it like it is, these white privileged men are straight-up

The owners of the Posner’s Art Store, located near the School of Art, will have to paint themselves in a new location by the end of the year to make room for student housing.

During the height of the store’s spring back-to-school sales, Campus Acquisitions, a company that invests in education-related real estate, told the specialty art store owners in January that they would have to move by the end of December to make way for student apartments. Posner’s, which has been family-owned and operated since 1913, has been leasing its current location at 1025 N. Park Ave. for the past 40 years.

“We’re all kind of disappointed,” said Kim Gay, an art education senior who shops at Posner’s on an almost daily basis. “Our classes are right here in the art school and we can always walk across the street to get our supplies and then get to work. We don’t know what moving is going to do, and I’m afraid it is going to hurt their business.”

UA professors and staff members also think Posner’s move might make it difficult for students who rely on the store for its supplies.

“It’s not going to be like it is now where students can run to Posner’s during a break or in between classes,” said David Huber, a digital studio technician in the School of Art. “They are really going to have to plan ahead.”

WORTH Retail sales up NOTING despite high gas prices in Arizona This day in history

By Rachel Gottfried DAILY WILDCAT This year, Arizonans may be partaking in retail therapy.

Statistics from the state Revenue Department show that retail sales in January were $3.71 billion, a 5.4 percent increase since last January. The figure is also 16 percent higher than in January two years ago.

Joyce Serido, an assistant research professor in the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences, said there are two possible reasons for this.

“First of all, people are tired of feeling bad and want to improve their well-being,” she said. “People also put things off for a long time and making the purchase make us feel better.”

December of last year was comparatively slower, with an increase of 3.7 percent in year-over-year sales.

The January figures come at a time when gas prices in the state are at a record high. In Tucson, the average price for gas is $3.723 per gallon as of press time, according to GasBuddy.com. This is a 11.6 percent increase from last year. Serido said that even though prices at the pump are high, people in Tucson generally

don’t have to drive as much as people in other areas, like those living on the East Coast.

“They’re buying cars because unfortunately there really isn’t many other ways to get around in Tucson,” Serido said. Many people are looking into buying more fuel-efficient cars that will help with the increase in gas prices, she added.

Sales for cars and trucks, however, have seen a double-digit increase over the past few months.

“There always are an increase in sales in this month,” said Joaquin Gutierrez, assistant manager at

Tim Wise, renowned social justice and anti-racist speaker, activist and writer, reminded the UA community to talk about race and acknowledge that everyone views life through their own lens.

Wise lectured on Thursday in the Student Union Memorial Center about the effects of racism and the social injustice that exists in America, today and in the past.

“Racism is something that affects

everybody in different ways and in different levels,” said Margi AultDuell, education director at BorderLinks, a nonprofit organization that focuses on immigration issues. “But I’m as much a part of a racist system as everybody else.”

Fear is what keeps people from talking about race, Wise said. Being accused of “playing the race card” mutes people of color, while whites are afraid they might say the wrong thing, he said.

Florida crowd gathers to protest the handling of Trayvon Martin shooting Mcclatchy tribune

SANFORD, Fla. — At the lakeside park, hundreds of rally-goers streamed in Thursday as the humid night buzzed with electricity and anticipation.

Television news helicopters droned over a domino-line of satellite trucks.

Spontaneously, pockets of people erupted into chants demanding justice for slain teenager Trayvon Martin.

The few police officers visible carried badges not of the Sanford Police Department but of the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol. But the crowd, boisterous and spirited, didn’t need policing.

A familiar Miami face, the Rev. Richard Dunn, strolled up the rolling lawn just yards from Lake Monroe.

He drove up to the Orlando suburb Thursday with several supporters.

“Its a blessing to see the multi-ethnic people here in support of good,” he said. “Let’s be clear: This is blatant murder. The color of the skin does nor matter. What is right is what matters.”

As the sky turned orange at Fort Mellon park, just down the way from the historic brick-lined streets of downtown, the casual observer could cover his ears, look at the signs and quickly printed T-shirts, and know

what brought Dunn here.

One sign, scrawled in marker: “Pray, protest, but get armed!” “Chief, you are a temporary joke!” read another, poking fun at Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee, who temporarily stepped down because of the outcry over his department’s handling of Trayvon’s shooting.

Dozens of T-shirts showed Trayvon’s photo next to that of Emmett Till, the black Alabama teen slain in 1955 after he flirted with a white girl.

Shirts and poster boards showed the black-and-white booking mugs of neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, 28, the man who fatally shot Trayvon last month.

University of Illinois president resigns in response to scandal Mcclatchy tribune

CHICAGO — When University of Illinois President Michael Hogan took over 20 months ago following an embarrassing scandal, his supporters championed him as a likable reformer who could stabilize the university.

On Thursday, he resigned after months of turmoil, a faculty mutiny and a fresh scandal in the president’s office that had left him so sidelined that people began to question not whether he would quit, but when.

His last day as president will be July 1, making him the second U. of I. president to resign under fire in less than three years. Robert Easter, who has been everything from a doctoral student to interim chancellor at the U. of I. for nearly four decades, will take over for at least two years.

The end of Hogan’s presidency

He claimed self-defense, and has not been arrested.

“America’s Most Wanted” “Arrest and indict this SOB now!”

“Fake Cop!” Yolanda Upson, 47, an Orlando teacher, raised a sign that showed Zimmerman’s photo and the word “Murderer.”

Cuban-American women — one in her 60s and the other in her 70s.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, or CBP, agents X-rayed a sealed jar they carried and spotted one human fetus. A second one was found when the jar was opened, according to Rutland.

“The medical examiner made a determination that both of the fetuses were close to 20 weeks and both had been stillborn — they were not viable,” he added, making it clear that there was no foul play in the deaths of the fetuses.

The two women told U.S. authorities that they received the jar in Havana from a babalao — a Santeria priest — and were asked to deliver it to someone in Miami, an airline industry official at MIA told The Miami Herald.

But they insisted that they did not know what was in the jar, and were not charged with any crimes,

Mcclatchy tribune

MIAMI — A TV crew filming a reality show at Miami International Airport must have been beyond shocked when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents found two human fetuses in the luggage of two women returning home from Havana.

The fetuses were to be delivered to someone in Miami and used in one of the mixed Catholic and African religions widely practiced in Cuba, like Santeria, according to two persons knowledgeable with the case.

“I’ve never heard of anything like this,” said Pat Diaz, who retired two years ago after 25 years on the homicide squad of the Miami-Dade Police Department.

MDPD spokesman Roy Rutland confirmed to The Miami Herald on Thursday that the two fetuses were found Jan. 30 in the luggage of two

came relatively quickly — just two weeks after trustees charged him with improving his fractured relationship with the faculty or risk losing his job.

Hogan pledged to do better and said he was “optimistic” he could regain their trust. Top faculty disagreed, sending a second letter to the board asking for his “rapid and decisive termination.”

Last weekend, board of trustees chairman Christopher Kennedy met with Hogan in the president’s Chicago condominium, and Hogan told him he had decided it was best to resign. They discussed Easter taking over as the 19th president.

“Whatever he was doing in those 10 days, he arrived at that conclusion, that he wanted to resign,” said Kennedy, who was appointed to the board in 2009 after an admissions scandal.

Posner’s

Racism

Posner’s, said that while she is unsure where her business might be in upcoming months, she has been assuring customers the store will not close down for good.

“What I don’t want to get out there is that we are closing, because we’re not,” said Brown, who estimates about 90 percent of their profit comes from UA students. “And the students have been wonderfully supportive and have even offered to help us move when the time comes.”

Construction for the student apartments is slated to start in 2013, and may also include some retailing space in one of the buildings that could be available for Posner’s to use, Brown said.

“The problem with that is while they are constructing we would have to leave, then move back,” Brown said. “It gets expensive, and we are just a mom and pop store.”

If the retail space is available, Posner’s will move to a temporary location close to campus. The move, she said, will likely start during summer when a majority of students are gone and business is at a low.

“I think it is an unfortunate loss of a resource for students,” said James Francese, a pre-architecture freshman.

“Newsflash, most people of color already think there’s a pretty good damn chance you’re racist,” Wise said. “The more that we confirm the suspicions that people of color already have … the more we stand a chance.”

White anxiety — the growing fear that minorities are taking white Americans’ country from them — is a gradually growing concern for whites, he said. The election of President Barack Obama, he said, sparked a fear in white Americans because it was unusual and new.

“We’ve always been a multicultural piece of property, but we’ve never been an equitable piece of property,” Wise said.

The economy also fueled white anxiety. Seeing unemployment rates hit double digits for the first time since the Great Depression created insecurity. While people of color are used to high unemployment, it’s new to white people, Wise said.

Seeing a “multicultural popular culture” has also created a sense of fear in whites, Wise said. Not too long ago, he said, MTV wouldn’t show black people other than Michael Jackson.

“It’s not that they’re angry people

Posner’s owner Emily Brown stands at the cash register while her grandson, Donny Marshall, assists a customer. The store may have to move due to construction.

“It’s close to campus and serves a great variety of majors. As an architect major, I think it (the move) is going to be a big inconvenience.”

Posner’s is just one of a few businesses located in the plaza on the corner of Park Avenue and Speedway Boulevard that were told to vacate due to construction. The owners of Lucky Chinese, a restaurant in the plaza, decided to close up shop and had their last day of operation on March 9.

“We are closing one chapter of our life together and looking forward to

new ventures,” the owners said in a letter that is taped outside their former restaurant. “We have had an awesome run.”

Brown said she is hopeful that Posner’s will either rent space in the new apartment complex or find another location “very close” to campus for its centennial next year.

“We are very important to the UA,” Brown said, who has received letters from UA professors about how vital Posner’s is to the UA. “At this point we are just seeing what our options are.”

“This is great news,” Upson said when she was told the local state attorney had stepped down from the case. “He wasn’t doing nothing. He wasn’t doing his job, and he needed to be knocked out and someone else put in.”

The case would now be overseen by a Jacksonville prosecutor, announced Benjamin Crump, the attorney for Trayvon’s family. Raucous applause and finally, the most fiery orator of the night stepped onto a stage set up by city’s parks department.

By then, the crowd had swelled to well more than 1,000.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, national activist and onetime presidential candidate, took the microphone with a heavy heart, flanked by Trayvon’s parents. At 2 a.m., Sharpton told the crowd, his sister called to tell him that their ailing mother had died. He traveled to Sanford anyway.

“My mother would have been ashamed if I hadn’t have shown up to fight for this man and woman,” Sharpton hollered as the whipped-up crowd hollered back.

Sharpton minced no words.

“We want permanent justice!” he shouted. “We want Zimmerman in court with his hands cuffed behind his back!”

Rutland noted.

Santeria rites usually involve the sacrifice of small animals such as chickens and goats and sometimes the use of old human bones stolen from cemeteries. Human fetuses are rarely if ever used, according to experts on Santeria.

Rutland said the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents who found the fetuses could not identify any crime committed by the women, and passed the case to the MDPD homicide squad.

MDPD investigators presented the evidence and forensic reports to the States Attorney office, which made the decision to not pursue any state charges because the women had “no intent” to commit any crime, the spokesman added.

Rutland did not identify the women or the person in Miami who was supposed to receive the fetuses, citing privacy constraints.

and mean-spirited people,” Wise said. “But what’s happening is their sense of normalcy is being challenged.”

Health care reform and legislation like Arizona’s SB 1070, which would require all illegal immigrants to have registration documents in their possession at all times, Wise said, are attempts to “control the demographics.”

Wise also addressed ethnic studies in Tucson Unified School District, where Mexican-American books and classes have been banned because they “encourage grouping” and “demote individuality,” Wise said. Wise criticized school systems for shaping other histories in ways that would protect white privilege. He also emphasized the irony in the term “ethnic studies,” saying that any study of any people is a study of ethnicity.

“It never occurred to me that … ’Hey, I’m a minority but yet most of the people who are teaching me these things and most of my history books do carry a certain perspective on them,” said Michael Wilson, a political science junior.

Wise encouraged the audience to remind others that nobody can be objective, saying, “When we are willing to acknowledge our preconceived biases … we usually then and only then will go out of our way to try to get it right.”

POLICE BEAT Healthy vending machine snacks could get labeled

By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT

Hiding the evidence

By Brittny Mejia

A University of Arizona Police Department officer pulled over a woman for driving with expired tags at 12:55 p.m. on Sunday.

When the officer began speaking to her, he noticed that the passenger, her mother, had a small pipe on her lap.

The officer asked the student for her driver’s license and registration and the mother to hold up the pipe. The student told the officer, “When you pulled me over, I tried to hand this to my mom and tell her to hide it for me, but my mom then refused to take it.”

The mother was handcuffed, told to get out of the car and sit on the curb. The student was asked to also get out of the car so the officer could search her. The student again said the pipe was hers, so the officer took the handcuffs off of her mother and placed them on her.

The mother said, “I was stunned when my daughter told me ‘hide the pipe’ and that’s when she put it in between my legs.”

No drugs or other paraphernalia were found in the car. The girl was cited for possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with expired tags.

It wasn’t me

A man was pulled over on Broadway Boulevard and Cherry Avenue for failing to have a light on above his license plate at 9:48 p.m. on March 14. The UAPD officer asked for his driver’s license and registration, and found that his license plate was expired.

As the student began speaking to the officer, the officer smelled marijuana coming from his breath. The officer asked if the student had marijuana in the car, and the student said he did not. The officer noticed a laundry bag full of clothes in the backseat, and asked to search it. The officer found a marijuana grinder in the bag.

The student immediately said, “That is my friends and I was taking it from the car so he wouldn’t get into trouble.”

The officer said he didn’t believe him and cited him for possession of drug paraphernalia, driving with a suspended license and driving without a license plate light. The vehicle was towed and placed in a UAPD lot for 30 days. The marijuana was taken to UAPD Property and Evidence.

High beaming A UAPD officer pulled over a man on Campbell Avenue and Broadway Boulevard for driving with his high beams on at 11:45 p.m. on Saturday. The officer tried to get the student’s attention by flashing his high beams at the student, but the student did not turn his off.

The officer put on his emergency lights to pull him over, and told the student he had been trying to get his attention. When the officer asked for his driver’s license and registration, the student said his license had been suspended since June 2011. The officer cited the student for driving with a suspended license and had his car impounded.

Gabrielle Miller, co-owner of Cry Baby Couture on University Boulevard, said she has seen a big increase in sales during the past year.

“There has been more traffic in this area (University Boulevard) in general,” Miller said.

Students who worked in retail also recalled January as a high-sales month.

“In high school I worked at Macy’s and the beginning of the year was always the busiest,” said Anna Lee, a media arts junior. “We also always had sales during this time, so that’s when all the smart shoppers would make big purchases.”

Lee said she hopes that retail revenue continues to increase.

“I think that it’s great that there has been an increase in retail sales this year. Hopefully this is a sign that our economy is doing better,” she said.

Students may re-think buying a candy bar for their on-the-go snack, as a new program could inform them about healthy choices for foods in vending machines.

The Student Health Advocacy Committee started a campaign in January to offer students healthier snacks from vending machines.

Stickers would show vending machine users which food options are more health-friendly, and committee members are also trying to identify healthy foods that students want in vending machines. Committee members hope to complete the initiative by the end of this year.

In order to do so, the Student Health Advocacy Committee partnered with Tomdra Vending to introduce the Fit Pick program on campus.

The program places stickers in front of snacks that meet certain health requirements, according to the Fit Pick standards, which dictate that less than 35 percent of an item’s total calories be from fat, less than 10 percent of its total calories from saturated fat and less than 35 percent of its total calories by weight from sugar.

The National Automatic Merchandising Association developed the program in response to some of the nation’s health issues, said Todd Elliott, vice president of Tomdra Vending and Coffee Services. The vending machine industry wanted to be a partner in helping identify ways to curb these issues, he said.

“Fit Pick helps to indicate healthy options within vending machines according to the organization’s

racist, living the legacy of manifest destiny, and HB 2281 is a white-only sign for Arizona 2012,” she said.

Roberto Rodriguez, an assistant professor of Mexican-American studies, argued that the ethnic studies ban “is not an attack on Mexican or Chicano or even indigenous studies. This is an attack on the very idea of education.”

Mark Stegeman, president of TUSD’s governing board, explained the ban’s goals and purposes. Stegeman argued that the law was developed to broaden

standard,” said Meghann Miller, chair for the Student Nutrition Coalition and a nutritional science junior.

Miller contacted Tomdra directly, and also spoke with other schools that had used the program before. Everything was ready within a month and stickers were placed in front of healthy snacks on some of the campus vending machines, she said.

“Feedback from students so far has been very positive,” Miller said. “Now that we know there’s an interest in the Fit Pick program, making the investment to spread this program campuswide makes sense.”

The committee initially distributed a survey in order to gauge student response for snack choices in the vending machines, Miller said. A lot of

students said they wanted to see more granola and dried fruit products.

“Students are always on the go, which is why vending machines are so popular on campus. With the Fit Pick stickers, people can easily see which snacks are healthier options,” Miller said. “We hope that when the information is right in front of you, people will be more driven to make healthier choices.”

Some students agree the stickers will help them choose healthier snacks.

“I think I saw the sticker once and it was actually kind of cool. A lot of times you’re in a rush and you don’t have a lot of time to decide, ‘Is this healthy or not?’” said anthropology sophomore Gabby Miller. “It’s nice to have that done for you.”

the district’s curriculum, and he went on to cite an achievement gap between Latino students and students of other races. The statistic was a direct result of a desegregation lawsuit, he said, and it showed that some have been “rightly unsatisfied with (TUSD’s) performance.”

Nolan Cabrera, an assistant professor of educational policy studies and practice, also spoke out against the ban and how controversial it has become. The law, he said, was not sensible.

“While I’m sensitive to the pragmatic needs of TUSD, at the same time I think that if we are locked only in

pragmatism, we are forever going to be fighting this battle,” Cabrera said.

The remainder of the hour-long presentation included an impassioned speech from Erin Hodge, another Mexican-American studies undergraduate.

Hodge recounted her time learning about diversity in high school, saying that learning about other cultures, as well as issues including rape, poverty, immigration, violence and sexuality, are important issues to be educated about because they affect all cultures in different ways.

“These issues are not inappropriate topics for 16, 17-year-olds,” Hodge said.

“These topics already affect our lives.”

Arizona’s book ban reaches too far Dan Desrochers DAILY WILDCAT

I

magine never reading “Harry Potter,” or going to the library and finding that the only books to read are about rainbows, lollipops and sunshine, but not unicorns because of their pointy horns.

In early January, the Tucson Unified School District pulled certain books from Mexican-American studies classrooms in response to the state Legislature’s dismantling of the program.

Although the move may not have been quite as drastic as removing all books referencing unhappy things, the decision led to accusations of book banning, which the district has denied.

Copies of some pulled books were made available in school libraries.

Still, removing books that could promote “racial insensitivity” is just another example of the unnecessary government influence on Tucson’s public schools.

In 2010, the state government went as far as banning anything in classrooms that promoted the overthrow of government and ethnic segregation.

Approximately 42 percent of the Tucson population is Hispanic, according to the 2010 Census. With these statistics in mind, the Tucson Unified School District’s governing board tried to fight the state’s ignorant laws but had to stand down or lose $15 million in funding.

By threatening to withhold funds, the Arizona government is inexcusably flexing its muscles and threatening the integrity of the school system.

One of the banned books is “Mexican WhiteBoy,” in which the Hispanic protagonist dreams of being a baseball star. The Arizona Department of Education banned it to prevent a Mexican-American studies teacher from using it inappropriately, as it contains “critical race theory,” according to The New York Times.

The stupidity of this ban is almost too much to put into words. Just because a course could “potentially” support something doesn’t mean it will. Taking a math class at the UA could potentially cause a person to drop out of college and become a meth head, but we don’t ban math.

Banning books is never a government’s responsibility. While it can recommend removing books from a curriculum, the outright ban of a book goes too far. Students should be able to read whatever they want to read, be it Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” or Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham.” When the government begins forbidding classes that advocate overthrowing the government, it means that it is doing something wrong. The U.S. was founded on rebellion. Also, anything learned in history class could technically promote overthrowing government. History is riddled with uprisings: France, China and South Africa all overthrew their governments to create society as it is today, for better or for worse.

Yet, if a government were to ban a history class, it would look extremely repressive, like the Soviet Union or China. The only difference between banning a history class because of potential harm and a MexicanAmerican studies class because of potential harm is the name of the class.

While it is clear the government is far too involved in school curriculums, another, more fundamental, ethical dilemma is apparent: People try so hard not to be racist that they become racist.

If the people representing the state are deciding what books can and cannot be read in high school classrooms, they aren’t representing their constituents.

Instead of putting people in office who will limit the opportunities for young readers, perhaps we should elect officials who actually own a library card.

CAT TRACKS p u g n i d Tren

Red light districts: The Arizona Legislature is weighing a bill that would lessen the scope of the ever-popular red light cameras, which photograph and fine people who run red lights. The bill, which was authored by Arizona Sen. Frank Antenori, would expand the legal definition of an intersection to help drivers avoid citation for running red lights.

It’s no wonder that Antenori is championing the rights of drivers, particularly after his own were violated when he was issued a photo radar speeding ticket in 2009, a ticket he paid on Monday. This is presented without comment.

Dis-parody: The Arizona Board of Regents is looking to level the playing field among the state’s three universities, at least in per-student funding. The UA currently receives about $760 more in per-student funding than Northern Arizona University, and about $900 more than Arizona State University.

Part of the reason the regents and the Legislature are looking to give more money to ASU and NAU is to support continued enrollment growth at the two universities — enrollment growth that will require more funding to maintain per-student equivalency — that would then require more money to fund enrollment expansion. Huh. It may just be the UA education talking, but does anyone else see a problem with this picture?

Educated defense: A national task force issued a report that warned of the security dangers of America’s increasingly undereducated populace.

Namely, the report cited shortfalls in foreign language proficiency, math and science as the biggest areas of need. Apparently, this taskforce hasn’t heard that there’s no longer any need for education, because there’s an app for that. “Siri, secure our nation for me.”

Trading up: The U.S. Senate approved a bill that would bar members of Congress from insider trading using information they gather during the course of their work for the government. Makes sense. What doesn’t make sense is that three senators voted against the bill and one abstained from the vote. All four of them were Republicans. Well, with that out of the way, legislators can turn their attentions to more pressing matters, such as calling their brokers.

Rights, but not fights thereof: The Justice Department has approved a new set of guidelines that allows U.S. intelligence agencies to retain information on citizens for a longer period of time, even if the citizen has no known links to terrorist organizations. Though the guidelines were approved on Thursday, they have been actively in place for more than a year, according to The Washington Post.

Supporters of the measures say they are vital in preventing another terrorist attack on U.S. soil, while opponents argue that this constitutes an invasion of the privacy of private citizens. Mark Zuckerberg is smiling somewhere. Maybe if the Justice Department introduced photo sharing, people wouldn’t get so upset about their data being illicitly archived.

I see uterus: In an email to an opponent of Arizona’s House Bill 2036, which would ban all abortions after 20 weeks, Rep. Terri Proud said she thinks there should be a law that requires that all women who want to get an abortion have to watch the procedure being performed on someone first.

This is a magnificent idea. It continues the nation’s War on Women by providing the legislative equivalent of your parents taking you to a local farm to learn about the facts of life, and it takes slut shaming to a whole new level by implying that your abortion may be watched by other sinning hussies like yourself.

Brown turned to the person she trusted and leaned on most, who happened to grow up with her the way a brother would. It seems incestuous at first.

Someone considered a “true romantic” might find true happiness for the couple. Since their relationship has surfaced at such a time of tragedy, during which Brown’s every move is being analyzed, it is logical to assume that she is acting out of grief.

However, if the pseudo-siblings of 10 years have always been romantically involved, this is the perfect opportunity to challenge America’s perceptions of love and lust.

Three young MCs provide the antidote to Nicki Minaj

By K.C. Libman Daily Wildcat

The long-empty thrones of Lauryn Hill and Lil’ Kim have finally been claimed. Rap audiences are welcoming a host of brash and fluid female rap successors that’s slowly moving from image and shock value to raw power and neck-breaking flow.

Nicki Minaj isn’t the only female rapper, folks. Though Miss Nicki/Barbie/Roman Zolanski is undoubtedly the most prevalent household name at the moment, she is by no means worthy of all our attention. We need to hold Minaj accountable for the contradictions that have placed her in hot water.

While the Trinidadian-born rapper was born into an era that used highly sexualized rap as the core of the female tome, she initially made an effort to shift the focus away from the skin and back toward the cipher. This was a noble attempt, and made Minaj

a groundbreaker.

Then she gave us “Stupid Hoe.” Yeah, the song is really as inane as it sounds. Aside from centering its merits on one of the most mindnumbing hooks ever, not to mention the seizure-inducing Hype Williamsproduced video, we’ve got to ask ourselves: Is this the direction we want to see female rap going? Should this represent the pinnacle of the Young Money era?

While the answer to the latter question is a personally emphatic yes, it’s time to move on from Nicki and look toward the future. As an antidote to Minaj’s cacophonous color schemes, absurd branding, and reliance on sensationalized vocal alteration, there’s a stable of qualified and brilliant female rappers who back up their bark with significant bite.

Enter Azealia Banks, Iggy Azalea

and K.Flay. Each woman holds her own with a specialized style and approach to the genre that represents a collectively clean slate for rap.

U.S. music industry. Azalea’s vicious raps on tracks like “My World” and “Drop That” don’t require a Nicki-style growl, as she possesses the chops to really push an instrumental to its Azealia Banks potential.

Banks, whose sweet facade belies Take for example the track “Pu$$y.” her unexpectedly smooth flow, takes a While the title may be offputting, and youthfully sexy angle. If there’s anything the lyrical content is a giant metaphor to credit the Harlem-bred musician for oral sex, it’s Azalea’s fluidity that for, it’s her unfettered melding of far makes the track a threat to the boys, and wide influences.

Iggy Azalea is exotic in all senses of the word. There’s nothing about this Australian export’s model-esque image or musicianship that’s similar to anything we’ve manufactured in the

K.Flay

K.Flay is the academic without adhering to anything related to collegiate rap. The Illinois native is the dark horse of the new female rap crop as she’s slightly more

acidic in her lyricism. Born Kristine Flaherty, K.Flay’s refreshing cynicism, especially on “We Hate Everyone,” can be attributed to her oft-used theme of suburban discontent.

It’s a far cry from the verse and hook formula that seems to prevail, and is hopefully indicative of a shift toward critical-thinking rap. There’s little, if any, veneer to K.Flay, and she definitely lets her hair down all over her self-produced Eyes Shut EP. It’s safe to say that the facet of female rap is in great hands. There’s a balance of flair, boldness and skepticism in the thematic undertones of Banks, Azalea and K.Flay. It’s what we’ve been missing since the reign of pioneers like Missy Elliott.

Let’s let go of the feeble, overproduced attempts and realize it’s high time that a younger generation of exciting female rappers be embraced.

Dueling ‘Silent House’ Reviews

By Josh Weisman

Daily Wildcat

Daily Wildcat

P

resented in a single continuous take, the film from “Open Water” helmers Chris Kentis and Laura Lau is a surprisingly intense hour of claustrophobic terror, capped by a resolution so bizarrely lame as to nearly ruin everything that preceded it that warrants being reviewed in two parts.

Movie info Year: 2011 Rating: R

Part one: The horror film

“Silent House” follows Sarah (Elizabeth Olsen), a young woman working to restore her family’s lakeside cabin with her uncle and father. When a mysterious intruder locks her inside, she frantically goes on the run, scrambling from room to shadowy room in hopes of evading capture and figuring out who — or what — is doing this. As a mysterious man picks off her family, the film unveils the killer’s motive and circumstances force Sarah to ultimately buckle down and fight for her life.

“Silent House” presents itself as being filmed in one take, and boy, is it effective.

It’s a surprisingly Our constant closeness to intense hour of Sarah, accompanied by claustrophobic terror, the camera’s refusal to ever capped by a cut, at times makes us feel like we’re in just as much resolution so bizarrely danger as she is, with the lame as to nearly ruin killer waiting right outside everything that the frame for us to turn around and discover him. preceded it.

This anxiety stretches unrepressed across an entire hour, with moments that startled the ever-loving hell out of me until I’m quietly begging the filmmakers to make it stop.

It’s exhausting, yes, but could we really ask for anything more?

Performance-wise, Olsen is marvelously convincing, even when everyone else isn’t, and the film benefits. In the hands of a lesser actor, “Silent House” may have come off as a contrived joke, but Olsen is unwaveringly committed to the situation the filmmakers have handed her. There’s a killer in the house, she’s trapped inside with him — and she expresses her terror convincingly, elevating the material notches above the premise.

Add to this that she is mind-numbingly hot, and you’ve got a horror flick with just about everything going for it. An hour in, I was all but convinced “Silent House” would get a stellar grade.

Part two: The ending to the horror film

So what screws it all up? As if convinced a serial killer and a girl in an abandoned cabin isn’t scary enough, the filmmakers attempt to pay off everything up to this point with an explanation so amateurish and clichéd, it borders on being insulting.

This isn’t to say paying off a high-concept horror premise is easy, but the solution Kentis and Lau apply is simply awful, and it all but ruins the film. Viewers can’t help feeling the rug has been pulled out from under them, and to make matters worse, the film continues for a groan-inducing 15 extra minutes after the “twist.”

What results, then, is a peculiar feeling that “Silent House” sucks, even though (for the most part) it’s actually quite good.

Were it not all done in one take, I might have maintained hope for an alternate ending once “Silent House” hit DVD. As it stands, though, the film should be taken for exactly what it is: a mostly scary, well-performed, impressively shot horror flick. Just turn it off 20 minutes early to avoid disappointment.

GRADE: C+

A

bout halfway through “Silent House,” when the audience is treated to the umpteenth shot of a crying woman calling meekly into the darkness for help, an older man in front of me audibly yawned.

“Yep,” he said aloud. “I’m really scared now.”

Nothing, besides maybe my date asking if I wanted to walk out of the theater, better encapsulates how complete of a failure this film is. It’s an incompetent mix of half-baked ideas thrown together to create a mishmash of abject suck.

As the movie plodded on, my mind began to wander.

For instance, I wondered what kind of camera the film used. It must have been small enough that the camera person could carry it as they ran around and tried in vain to produce in-focus shots. I wondered how many strangely prominent freckles the leading lady had on her face. (As of press time, the final tally was seven.) But one question lingered: Why? Why are there long, random periods of uninterrupted darkness? Why does the dialogue sound so stilted? And why does the movie, at its very end, decide to pretend it has a plot outside of the archetypal “bad men who are bad chase attractive woman around for an hour and a half ”?

One of the reasons this movie looked appealing was because it was shot in one continuous take. There’s nothing inherently wrong with creative cinematography.

I’d even go so far as to call it refreshing to see a horror movie that tries to break the exhaustive It’s an incompetent mix shaky-cam stagnation of half-baked ideas the genre has been subjected to since thrown together to “Cloverfield.” create a mishmash of But it should raise abject suck. a red flag when your camerawork looks like the unwanted lovechild of your dad’s home movies and a high school film project, or when the audience can’t tell what the hell they’re looking at. It’s a cheap way to manufacture tension and, like most cheap things, it unravels fairly quickly.

I could forgive all of the film’s fundamental failures if it wasn’t such a bore, but I’ve had eye exams with more tension than this. The movie’s just not scary.

Occasionally it shows a little girl wandering around.

That’s not scary. Then things go all dark and all you can hear is ragged inhalation. Knock knock, who’s there?

Not scary. The movie fundamentally fails in all facets as a fright fest, and it suffers woefully as a result.

The only thing redeemable about “Silent House” is that it’s one of the few movies out right now that’s not a sequel, remake, re-imagining or reboot, and even that is hardly heady praise in the face of such gems as “The Lorax” and “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.”

But hey, if your air conditioner is on the fritz, and you’d like a quiet place to nap for a while, I would highly recommend this film. Just don’t be surprised if the audience’s laughter wakes you up.

DUEL on the diamond The No. 14 Wildcats will travel to Tempe, Ariz., this weekend to take on their in-state rivals, the No. 5 Sun Devils

By Emi Komiya Daily Wildcat

The No. 14 Arizona softball team is running out of time to work out the kinks before it gets thrown into Pac-12 play this weekend in a series against No. 5 ASU in Tempe, Ariz.

“We’ve still got some growing to do physically, mentally and emotionally, so we just need to keep plugging away,” head softball coach Mike Candrea said. “We’re getting into that part of the year where you have to compete.”

The cancellation of three games in the Judi Garman Classic last week due to weather — and splitting the series against an unranked New Mexico State at home — has put the team in overdrive on the practice field.

“In practice we get a lot of reps, it’s about knowing how important defense is and we just have that competitive spirit,” senior third baseman Jessica Spigner said, “We know we can’t afford to make any mistakes and because we have that in the back of our minds, it will help us prepare for ASU.” ASU is arguably one of the toughest teams Arizona will face in the Pac-12. Candrea has stressed solid pitching, defense and timely hitting all season.

“In big games, that’s what it

the Wildcats’ on-field tempo.

“We are going to need two solid pitchers to get where we want to be this season,” said Candrea. “I really think we have that right now.”

Both have proven they can pitch effectively in close matchups.

“I like battling and staying in there, (it) really helps my confidence,” Babcock said. “I just have to think I’m finishing the game.”

At the plate, there has been a new hitter coming up in the clutch almost every game. Wildcats such as Hallie Wilson and Brigette Del Ponte have helped pick up the team.

“We all work hard for each other and we all pick each other up. We know no one’s going to be perfect every game and so it needs to be someone different every game,” Spigner said.

Wilson had back-to-back hits to center field and gave the Wildcats a chance to come back for a win.

After successfully executing crucial at-bats in the second game of the doubleheader against New Mexico State, Arizona is looking to ride the confidence they’ve gained Keith Hickman-Perfetti / Daily Wildcat into the ASU series.

After an uninspired beginning, Arizona scored five runs in the sixth inning, eventualy defeating New Mexico State 6-3 on “Physical errors are going to Wednesday.

UA will try to bounce back from first series sweep of the season

By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

In both of its contests against New Mexico State this week, the No. 5 Arizona baseball team looked disorganized.

As the Wildcats regroup for their second weekend of conference play, they will need both the offensive and defensive sides to come together if they want to have any success against the No. 19 Oregon State Beavers this weekend in Corvallis, Ore. It was a simple lack of cohesion that plagued the Wildcats (16-6, 2-1 Pac-12) during the mid-week contest against unranked New Mexico State.

On Tuesday, the Wildcats’ pitching was solid, but behind them the fielding effort was mediocre at best. To top it off, the Arizona bats couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.

The next day, the situation flipped.

The offense was able to produce, but it had to do so behind one of Arizona’s worst pitching efforts of the entire season.

“We didn’t hit for them (on Tuesday),” Arizona third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean said. “We should have put up the offense for them, so we can’t get frustrated with the pitching, because we didn’t do anything for them the first night. It’s a two-way street.”

Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said that, for the Wildcats to turn things around, they have to

go back to their mentality through the first couple weeks of the season.

“You have to go back to those first 20 games,” Lopez said. “We have to pitch well, catch on defense and get some timely hitting.”

Against the Beavers (14-5, 3-0 Pac-12), however, that’s not going be an easy task.

Oregon State boasts two hitters hitting above .400 on the year in junior Tyler Smith and freshman Michael Conforto.

Against Cal on Sunday, Conforto clubbed six RBIs, becoming the first Beaver to do so since 2008.

The freshman has already hit a total of 26 RBIs on the season, with 16 of those coming in the last seven games.

That could spell bad news for the Arizona pitching, especially after Konner Wade, scheduled to start on Saturday, was shelled in giving up four runs in just an inning on Wednesday when he came on in relief.

Kurt Heyer, Friday’s starter, should test the Beavers, but if the rest of Wildcat pitching effort resembles this past week, it could get ugly really quick.

The Oregon State pitching staff was able to deliver against Cal last weekend.

They only allowed the Golden Bears to hit a combined .237 throughout its three-game series.

The good news is that six of the Arizona starters are hitting above .300.

For Mejias-Brean, the mindset going into the weekend is simple.

“We just have to stay together after these two losses, go up there and just play like we have been,” he said. “(We just need to) go up there and kick some ass.”

Former Arizona linebacker Paul Vassallo isn’t getting quite as much publicity as Nick Foles, Juron Criner, Trevin Wade or, more recently, David Douglas have in regards to his NFL prospects. But Vassallo was still one of the Wildcats’ most important players over the last two seasons as a starting linebacker.

Since transferring from Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif., after his sophomore year, the 6-foot3, 247-pound Vassallo has been one of the Wildcats’ most prolific tacklers. In 2010, he registered 102 tackles and two sacks and in his senior season he had 70 tackles and one sack.

The Reno, Nev., native was in Tucson on Monday for the UA’s NFL Pro Day and participated in all the drills. Vassallo said he put up 16 bench press reps of 225 pounds and had a 32-inch vertical jump.

been in the gym still. We all tried to work out together the week or two leading up to Pro Day. Do you still talk to any of the current players?

Yeah, I definitely got pretty close with most of the linebackers, not many of them are coming back but I keep in touch with those guys.

But, you know, it’s definitely just more text messages and phone calls than anything.

If you were the Colts, do you take (Baylor’s) Robert Griffin III or (Stanford’s) Andrew Luck with the first pick?

I played against Luck twice, and he’s a very good player. I wasn’t fortunate enough to play against RGIII, I saw him on TV, but I don’t think you could go wrong with either one of them.

Women’s tennis set to take on Washington and Oregon

By Iman Hamdan Daily Wildcat

The No. 31 Arizona women’s tennis team will try to improve its conference record as it hosts two back-to-back Pac-12 matches this weekend against No. 36 Washington and Oregon at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

“We expect a battle with Washington, but we are confident that we can beat them if we play together,” head coach Vicky Maes said. “Oregon, too, will be a good match, but we are taking it one step at a time.”

The Wildcats’ last meeting with Washington came a year ago when the then-ranked No. 27 Huskies edged Arizona 4-3. All the Wildcats’ points came from singles play wins.

Just a few weeks prior to the match against

Washington last year, Arizona opened its Pac-10 season against Oregon and the then-ranked No. 26 Wildcats dominated the Ducks in a 6-1 victory.

With a strong roster of six returning players from last year’s team, expectations are high for the team’s performance.

“Our seniors have to step up and play smart,” Maes said. “Having Kim back in the line-up will also make a big difference. She’s a reliable player for us and she always fights hard, which brings energy to those around her.”

Currently, two Wildcats are ranked in singles and doubles play. Senior Natasha Marks is ranked No. 85, while sophomore Lacey Smyth is ranked No. 79. Together, the duo comes ranked in at No. 45 for doubles play.

Syracuse beats Wisconsin, advances to Elite Eight after Badgers falter at end Mcclatchy tribune

BOSTON — Wisconsin had Syracuse in the crosshairs in a game in which the Badgers were deadly accurate from three-point range, making 14 of 27 three-pointers over the Orange’s trademark 2-3 zone defense.

At one point in the second half, Wisconsin made six straight threes to take a 56-53 lead.

With 19 seconds remaining, Syracuse was clinging to a 64-63 lead, but Kris Joseph missed the front end of a one-and-one. The Badgers rebounded and put the ball in the hands of All-American guard Jordan Taylor, and he got the open look he wanted from beyond the top of the arc. But Wisconsin had gone to the well one too many times as Taylor’s shot bounced off the rim to give the Orange the 64-63 victory in their NCAA East Regional semifinal Thursday night at TD Bank Garden.

Syracuse (34-2) advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time since its 2003 championship

season. They will have a matchup on Saturday night against the winner of Thursday night’s late semifinal between Ohio State and Cincinnati.

Taylor and Jared Berggren led Wisconsin (26-10) with 17 points apiece and combined to make eight of 12 three-pointers.

But Syracuse shot 55.1 percent from the field against the Badgers’ man-to-man that led the nation in scoring defense with an average of 52.9 points. C.J. Fair, who entered the game in a shooting slump, led the way with 15 points on 7-for-9 shooting and added seven rebounds; Scoop Jardine scored 14, Dion Waiters added 13 and Brandon Triche totaled 11.

Wisconsin had no trouble with Syracuse’s zone in the early going as the 6-10 Berggren operated effectively inside and out. Berggren scored 10 straight Badgers points, four in the paint and six from three-point range, to build a 15-9 lead. But Berggren had to leave

the game at 12:03 after committing his second foul.

That sent super sub Waiters to the line, and he hit two foul shots to ignite what turned into a 24-8 Syracuse run for a 33-23 lead. It ended with 11 unanswered Orange points.

The Badgers managed to cut the difference to 33-27 at halftime, but Waiters’ pregame comment that man-to-man teams have trouble stopping Syracuse was borne out in the first half when the Orange shot 63.6 percent.

Taylor jump-started Wisconsin’s offense with two threes early in the second half, and when Rob Wilson buried a three-pointer with 15:46 left, the game was tied at 40. Then Fair warmed up for the Orange, scoring six in an 8-1 burst for a 48-41 lead.

It was clear the Badgers had to match Syracuse on the offensive end, and they turned to their three-point shooting to do it.

Five straight three-pointers by Berggren, Ben Brust, Taylor, Josh Gasser and Brust again

gave Wisconsin a 56-53 lead. At that point, eight of the Badgers’ nine second-half field goals were threes.

That was similar to the formula Cincinnati used to upset Syracuse in the Big East Tournament semifinals. Fair tied the game at 56 with a conventional three-point play, but then Taylor hit Wisconsin’s sixth straight three for a 59-56 lead. The spell was broken when Ryan Evans missed a three with 6:17 remaining.

That sparked a 6-0 Syracuse burst, including two baskets by Waiters, as the Orange regained a 62-59 lead. Evans made only the second two-point field goal of the half for Wisconsin to cut it to one before Jardine made a pair of free throws for a 6461 Syracuse lead with 3:50 left. Brust cut it to one again with two foul shots with 32 seconds left. They turned out to be the last points of the game when Wisconsin misfired in the final seconds.

Louisville knocks out top-seeded Michigan State Mcclatchy tribune

PHOENIX — Magic Johnson came to cheer for Michigan State and Muhammad Ali sat in Louisville’s section.

Tony La Russa and Albert Pujols asked for seats behind home plate but settled for two near courtside.

There was plenty of buzz in advance of Thursday’s NCAA West Regional semifinal game at US Airways Center.

In the end, though, taking Louisville’s best jab was just too tall an order.

Led by 6-foot-11 center Gorgui Dieng’s inside presence and seven blocked shots, No. 4 Louisville ran away with a 57-44 victory over topseeded Michigan State.

Louisville (29-9) advances to face the Florida-Marquette winner Saturday for a spot in next weekend’s Final Four in New Orleans. Michigan State ends the season at 29-8.

“It was a bad matchup for us,” Michigan State Coach Tom Izzo said.

Dieng didn’t just block seven shots — he affected several others as Michigan State made only 14 of 49 attempts (28.6 percent).

Izzo knew it might be a long night when Dieng, with the shot clock winding down in the first half, made his first three-point shot of the season.

How many had he attempted?

Answer: one.

“I was wide open and I took it and it went in,” the sophomore from

Senegal said.

Last week at practice, Dieng asked Coach Rick Pitino if he could take three-point shots in a game.

“No problem,” Pitino, now 10-0 in the Sweet 16, said he told his center.

“As long as you make them.”

After a brutally ugly first half, in which Louisville led 23-18, the Cardinals took control and found some offensive rhythm.

Louisville doubled its halftime lead at 35-25, although Michigan State had one last spurt left. The Spartans answered with a 6-0 run capped by Draymond Green’s emphatic dunk at the 11-minute mark.

Louisville, though, quickly responded with a seven-point run that

chased the lead back to 11.

The Cardinals built the lead to 13 with 6:10 left on a Peyton Siva jump shot. Kyle Kuric’s three-pointer, with1:08 remaining, pushed the margin to 15 and put an exclamation point on the night.

“We ran out of gas a little bit, emotionally, mentally and physically,” Izzo said. “And Louisville had the gas.”

Chane Behanan led Louisville with 15 points. The Cardinals shot only 38 percent for the game (21 of 55) but made nine of 23 three-point attempts.

Brandon Wood led Michigan State with 14 points, and Green had 13 points and 16 rebounds.

The second half was a lot easier to watch than the grind-it-out first.

This wasn’t Michigan State’s first NCAA wrestling match. In the 2000 national semifinals, Michigan State led Wisconsin, 19-17, at the half.

The difference: Michigan State slugged out a victory that night and, two nights later, beat Florida to win the national title.

Thursday’s game was 5-3 at the under 12-minute television timeout.

Green, the only player to record two tournament triple-doubles since the NCAA started recording assists, clanked his first three shots before hitting a jumper.

Both schools entered with defensive reputations. Louisville gave up 61.1 points a game, while Michigan State yielded 59.4.
