EIGHT FEELS GREAT Lights out for UA

‘Earth Hour’ event looks at climate change By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Point gaurd Momo Jones hugs a UA fan after the Wildcats’ 93-77 win over Duke University on Thursday at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Arizona men’s basketball team played with the mindset that every single one of 17,890 fans in Anaheim’s Honda Center expected the Wildcats to lose on Thursday.

So a 93-77 victory by No. 5 seed Arizona — not No. 1 seed and defending national champion Duke — sent shock waves throughout college basketball, locking the Wildcats into a Saturday game against the No. 3 seed UConn Huskies. But those shock waves weren’t felt in the Arizona locker room. The Wildcats

weren’t surprised. “A lot of people counted us out,” said point guard Momo Jones, who scored 16 points and tallied six assists. “I think the only people who didn’t count us out were the people at this university, the people in this locker room. Critics, analysts, people GAME RECAP, page 9

Unwanted messages, materials among violations Hernandez, Allen received 11 campaign checks each from ASUA By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Both Daniel Hernandez and James Allen each received 11 total violation checks against them in the ASUA general election, according to documents received by the Daily Wildcat through a public records request. That is two more than the maximum allowed under the Associated Students of the University of Arizona elections code. Checks can be applied in a variety of situ-

ations at the discretion of ASUA Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti. Checks are handed down for each violation of a section of the code that disrupts election procedure, gives an unfair advantage to a candidate, cannot be easily corrected or harms another candidate’s campaign. Additional checks can be given if a violation displays “blatant disregard” of the code or malicious behavior, causes direct harm to another campaign, is thought to be deliberate or proven “to be severely or obviously advantageous to the candidate’s campaign.”

Hernandez and Allen are both appealing all violations of which they are accused. For Hernandez, the violations included allegations of campaigning during ASUAsanctioned events and on ASUA property, both stemming from wearing a shirt advertising his slate, “Team Red.” He received two checks for allegedly sending automated messages to random phone numbers when ASUA forbids sending unsolicited messages in any form, and another for handing out flyers in the Manuel T. VIOLATIONS, page 2

The campus will be joining the global effort to switch off lights and call attention to climate change this Saturday on the UA Mall for Earth Hour. During Earth Hour people from all across the planet turn off lights as a call for climate change action. The event on the Mall will begin at 8 p.m., with lights scheduled to turn off worldwide at 8:30 p.m. This is the UA Residence Life Eco-Reps’ third Earth Hour event, but the first year they will have multiple performances. Earth Hour has been happening across the globe since 2007 , when 2.2 million people and more than 2,000 business in Sydney, Australia flicked off their lights to send a message. Soon people from around the globe were joining, with landmarks like The Golden Gate Bridge and the Eiffel Tower switching off power. Last year was the world’s largest Earth Hour with 128 countries and territories participating . The Mall event will have pizza provided by Papa John’s and sustainable entertainment in the form of The Charles Darwin Experience , Planet Djembe drumming and the Elemental Artistry fire arts performance troupe. Julie Kard, the Eco-Reps president and a sophomore majoring in veterinary science and ecology and evolutionary biology, said she thinks that the event on the Mall will give students a chance to join in the global event. “It encourages people to really take part in Earth Hour to its fullest,” Kard said. “We are able to show people that there is a great way to have fun without having to use electricity.” Papa John’s will be providing pizza and purchasing carbon offsets in order to make up for the electricity used to make the food, Kard said. Jake Turner, an astronomy and physics senior and student adviser of the Eco-Reps , said he thinks the most important part of Earth Hour is that it allows people to take a stand for something in which they believe. “Essentially it’s our future that we’re trying to protect,” Turner said. “We’re the rising leaders of the world.”

Frats ‘Emerge’ against sexual violence By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Interfraternity Council created a partnership with Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse in response to the high incidences of sexual violence on college campuses. Sexual violence is experienced at a “disproportionately high rate” among college students, with an estimated one in four college women becoming a victim of sexual assault by the time she graduates, according to the United States Department of Justice. Steven Otero, the president of the Interfraternity Council, said he wants fraternity members to recognize this problem and do whatever they can to help reduce the incidents.

INSIDE Police Beat: Opinions: Odds & Ends: Classifieds: Comics: Sports:

“Through our service at this organization, our men can be more educated about sexual assault and domestic abuse,” he said. He added that money raised by the council would go to the center. Kimberly A. Thompson, the vice president of philanthropy at Emerge, said she was “honored” that the council chose to give funds to the center. She explained in a meeting with the council members that the members of the council likely know someone who has been abused or witnessed abuse as a child. “I believe you know about the brothers who could harm or take advantage of women,” she said. “You need to recognize those men and try and help them.” EMERGE, page 2

UA to hold benefit for Japan relief By Brenna Goth Arizona Daily Wildcat

UA community members with ties to Japan are holding a benefit concert to raise money and promote healing on Saturday. Students from the UA School of Music and other local musicians will perform and collect donations for the Japanese Red Cross Society. The organization is helping Japan’s recovery efforts after the country was hit by an earthquake and tsunami on March 11. Laura Tagawa, a violin doctoral student in the School of Music, said she brainstormed the idea with Japanese friends at a dinner a few days after the earthquake. Tagawa’s husband is from Japan and she taught English in the country in 2004. “I was so surprised to hear the news,” Tagawa said. “The images really concerned me.” Tagawa said she continues to be overwhelmed even though her family and friends are safe. “They didn’t live in the area,” she said. “But the images feel very close to home. The devastation is so great. I felt distraught watching the news.” Her friends who helped organize the concert shared Tagawa’s feelings. Emma Noël Votapek, who plays violin for the Tucson Symphony Orchestra and is the wife of UA assistant professor of music Mark Votapek, was born in Japan. “It’s heartbreaking,” Votapek said. “I know from being a kid in Japan that they had very detailed earthquake codes … but to see that much destruction …” The concert will not only

raise money for Japan but also unite the community, Votapek said. Performances will include music by classical and Japanese composers as well as Japanese dance. “Japan is so far away,” Votapek said. “We feel like we’re helping out in a very small way. We feel like we’re making a difference.”

Japanese exchange student Mikihiro Shimane said he is touched by the willingness of the Tucson community to support Japan. He said his American friends immediately contacted him after hearing the news of the earthquake and tsunami to ask if his family was OK. “I felt really happy when a lot of not just Japanese but a lot of other nationalities consider Japan,” Shimane said. “They really were worried about Japan and were talking to us, texting me (to see) if there’s anything they can do. They wanted to support me.” Shimane is from a city near Tokyo and was able to contact his family soon after the earthquake. “I heard that there was a big shake in Tokyo as well,” he said. “The houses were OK, but I heard they had to turn off electricity about three to four hours a day every day, which is kind of tough because electricity is the most important to living. My mom said she had to prepare hot water beforehand so that she could make food.” Shimane will return to Japan at the end of the semester and said he hopes the country receives the assistance it needs to recover. “I heard that our university in Japan had a new building that was built two years ago,” Shimane said. “There was already a big crack in that as well. It kind of reminds me that this was a pretty big earthquake.” Shimane said events like the benefit concert show the community’s willingness to help. “Even though Tucson doesn’t have a big Japanese population, people really consider our country,” he said.

VIOLATIONS continued from page 1 Pacheco Integrated Learning Center, which is a violation because the ILC computers are considered polling places. Hernandez’s final violation alleges that he and members of his slate were campaigning within the 75-foot limit imposed by ASUA. There is photographic evidence substantiating this claim, according to the report. Hernandez said a worker told him and his fellow slate members that they were free to campaign in the area. Hernandez said neither he nor another member of his slate sent automated text messages to anyone and that he had previously asked for evidence to prove the allegations. He also said he did not know wearing a T-shirt to the “Learn without Concern” gun forum was a violation since he was not aware the event was sponsored by ASUA. He said there were “a lot of inconsistencies” in how the code was applied throughout the election, especially in regard to slates. “I think the only way we can get any legitimacy back is to have a new, special election,” Hernandez said. “We can wipe the slate clean and start over because I think to have the old election have any bearing on the new one would be wrong.” Hernandez received five checks prior to March 8 and six the final two days of the election. Allen and his slate, which included Executive Vice President-elect Bryan Ponton and Administrative Vice President-elect Brett Ponton, each received three checks stemming from allegations that they campaigned door to door in Coronado Residence Hall, a charge all three denied in an email to Colletti. In the email, the candidates said they had encouraged constituents in the hall to garner support from their neighbors, but never told them to go door to door. “We apologize on behalf of our campaign and our supporters,” the email states, “however (we) would like to reiterate that we do not believe this claim to have been executed by any of the candidates themselves.” The slate was also charged with two checks due to a complaint from a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority, who claims the slate members came to the sorority house soliciting votes. She also said they “sat in front of the girls as they voted, looking over the voting process and in-

fluencing the votes of the girls at the house,” according to the official document filed with the ASUA Supreme Court. Allen and his slate responded to that charge in an email as well, and wrote that, though they and people affiliated with their campaign had traveled to Greek Life residences, they never oversaw any voting, or pressured anyone to vote a certain way. The slate was charged an additional check for this offense due to the “obvious advantage,” it presented to their campaign according to the document. Other allegations include claims that a slate staffer visited a club to actively campaign with an open computer and a list of people to vote for, and that a stack of campaign handouts was left in the U-Mart in the Student Union Memorial Center, charges Allen and his slate also refuted through email. There is photographic evidence of the campaign materials in the U-Mart, but Allen and his slate said there is no evidence members of their campaign were the ones to put them there. Allen had been charged with two checks prior to March 8 and received an additional 10 over the course of the next two days. One of those checks was removed due to insufficient evidence, bringing Allen’s total to 11 and sparing both Brett and Bryan Ponton from disqualification, as that check would have pushed each of them above the maximum allowed.

Daniel Hernandez, jr.

“I plan to appeal to nine of the 11 checks,” Allen said. “Under impression from the elections commissioner, the first two checks issued would be indisputable, and I did not file an appeal within the required 24 hour time period. The remainder of the checks (9) issued are being appealed.” ASUA President Emily Fritze said the disqualification had put a “damper” on the beginning of a new semester for ASUA. “It is disappointing that we have to start off the next term this way,” she said, “but regardless of this, both candidates … or whoever ends up winning will hopefully do their best to come back from what happened and be able to prove they are a strong leader who can represent students effectively.” Fritze said she understood some students’ frustration about the situation but believed the punishment given to Allen and Hernandez was fair. “It opens up the opportunity for students to have a voice,” she said. “They have a decision to make if … to determine if they can still support those candidates, or if they want to support someone else or run themselves.” Fritze admitted that Allen and Hernandez would have an advantage in a special election but they would need to “prove why they deserve” the position. Allen and Hernandez will both appear before the ASUA Supreme Court on Wednesday to argue their appeals.

EMERGE continued from page 1 Thompson explained that the types of activities the men would be participating in at the center would be “mostly manual clean up” in addition to painting for the child-care center, gardening, fundraising and potentially helping the center with its business module, depending on credentials. The partnership, which was unanimously adopted by the members, states that the council will: educate current and new members on issues of sexual assault through Emerge and Campus Health Service, encourage members to plan social functions and themes that condone an atmosphere representing positive roles of men and women within the community, preserve and protect the rights and safety of all individuals in all social settings, and promptly and honestly address incidents of sexual misconduct. Emerge has two centers in Southern Arizona and serves about 2,400 women and children every year, according to Thompson. They also have a community child-care center that serves up to 80 children, a 24hour bilingual hotline and an advocacy program to “get women protection.” “Often, the women have no money, sometimes no documents, and escape with nothing but the clothes on their back,” Thompson said.

Had too much fun on spring break?

A non-UA affiliated man was caught performing skateboard tricks for the second time on campus and had his board impounded on Tuesday. A UAPD officer on routine patrol saw the man performing tricks on the south side of the Life Sciences South building around 7:30 p.m. He jumped his skateboard over the curb on the southeast side of the building near the loading dock. Shortly after landing, he bailed and fell from his board. The officer approached the man and soon after beginning the interview, the officer recognized him as a skateboarder he had contact with in November. The officer called for another officer to bring proper citations to impoundthe manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skateboard. After a few minutes, the documentation arrived and his skateboard was impounded. The man was given a Parking and Transportation Services citation in order to retrieve the skateboard and said he could reclaim the board from PTS within 72 hours. Additionally, the officer warned him again that he could be subject to arrest for loitering on UA property because he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t using campus for its intended means. The man said that he fully understood UA policy on skateboarding on campus but did not agree with it.

Employeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallets stolen from inside Union

Wallets from two UA employees were stolen from a locker inside the Student Union Memorial Center on Tuesday. A union employee called UAPD and said that the wallets were stolen sometime between 7 and 11:30 a.m. The employees placed their purses into an unlocked locker that is used to store vacuum cleaners. At 11:30 a.m., another union employee found the purse in an elevator and immediately recognized it. She took the purse and contacted the employee who owned it. The only thing missing from the purse was her wallet, so she returned to the locker to look for it. While looking in the locker, she noticed that a coworkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bag had also been rifled through. She then contacted the coworker, who also found that her wallet was missing. One of the employees did report a potential suspect around 11 a.m., she observed an unknown person in the room adjacent to the locker wearing worn out clothes. The unknown man was asked to leave and did so, but the employee was unsure if he had returned. Both employees wished to continue in the prosecutorial process.

Student steals map and finds UAPD

UAPD responded to the bookstore at 2:27 p.m. after a bookstore employee called in a possible shoplifter on Tuesday. A loss prevention employee said that he saw a student through a surveillance camera take a map of Tucson from a display case. The student took the tags off of the map as he walked throughout the store. He then walked out of the entrance without paying for the map, which he still held in his hand. The employee then confronted him and held him in custody. When the officer arrived, he spoke with the student about what happened. Because he had no cash on him, the student said he intended to steal the map upon entering the bookstore. He said he needed the map for a geology class. The officer cited and released the student for shoplifting and filled out a Dean of Students Office referral about the incident.

A non-UA affiliated man fled police and was later arrested for driving with expired plates and no insurance on Tuesday. A University of Arizona Police Department officer patrolling northbound Euclid Avenue toward University Boulevard saw that the car in front of him had a 2010 registration sticker. He checked the plate in the database and it showed that the plate had indeed expired in November. After the traffic light turned green, the officer attempted to get into the median lane to follow the expired vehicle. The driver immediately saw the officer and quickly turned west onto University Boulevard. By the time the officer was able to make the left turn, the driver had already turned north onto First Avenue. The vehicle sped up rapidly and turned east onto Second Street. After turning, the driver quickly pulled his car into an alley and drove into an apartment complex parking lot nearby. He then parked and ran into the complex. However, throughout the entire chase, the officer hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turned on his emergency lights to stop the driver. As the officer checked the parked car to make sure it was secure, he was able to see what the driver was wearing. Almost immediately, a witness flagged down the officer and asked if he was looking for someone. The witness said that he saw the driver jump a fence on the west side of the complex and enter the courtyard. Additional officers then arrived to secure the location. The officer went into the complex and heard from another witness who said that she saw a man hiding in a stairwell. The officer, who took a second officer for backup, found the man and handcuffed him. He said that he knew the registration was expired on the car and fled when he saw the officer change lanes because he did not want to get pulled over. He also told the officer that the vehicle belonged to his mother and was is in the process of getting the title in his name. The officer arrested him for not having current registration and or insurance, cited and released him on the scene.

EDITORIAL Secrecy in student government hurts ASUA

unshine Week is dedicated to freedom of information and government openness; a lesson that the UA’s student government seems to be stomping its feet and shouting “No!” about like a terrible 2-year-old toddler. On March 9, when the results of elections for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona were announced, Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti revealed that presidential candidates James Allen and Daniel Hernandez had each been disqualified for an unspecified number of elections code violations. What followed can only be described as complete ineptitude, in which ASUA members were warned not to share what they knew about these violations under the guise of candidates’ “privacy rights.” Because candidates’ campaign records were considered educational, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act protected those records, ASUA said. When the Arizona Daily Wildcat tried to pursue more information in regards to the violations, Colletti claimed his hands were tied, and advised the Wildcat to file a public records request. Of course, the whole point of FERPA is that educational records are not open to the public. That’s why the violations couldn’t be shared on March 9. So there wouldn’t actually be a point to filing a request, unless ASUA was wrong about campaign records being protected in the first place. However, it’s not like anyone has ever been surprised when ASUA is confused by simple concepts. What is surprising is the number of hoops there were to jump through during the process of obtaining those public records. After filing three separate public records requests with ASUA, the Daily Wildcat waited. That meant you had to wait. These were people who claimed to want to represent your interests and, all year long, have thrown around the word “transparency” like they believed what they were saying. Apparently, your student government representatives are “working for you,” and being “transparent,” but only when it’s convenient for them. It has now been two weeks since both candidates were disqualified, and ASUA has only just begun to reveal why. Continuing on their spree of failure, ASUA finally filled the Wildcat‘s request for records. When informed the Wildcat would be picking them up, the reporter was told the records were there, but they wouldn’t be released to the paper for another day. Reason? None, even though other requesters had already picked theirs up. ASUA finally released the records, but not before redacting as much as possible, though not as carefully as they probably intended to. Included in the records are copies of complaints filed against ASUA candidates and email exchanges. Names and contact information were redacted from many of the records, but inconsistently so. A name redacted on one copy of an email would appear on another copy of the same email. Putting aside the pointlessness of going to the trouble of redacting private information but being careless about it, you should wonder why so much was redacted from the records now that they’ve finally been released. On some records, the only thing visible on the page was “To” and “From” with sender, recipient, and the entire message redacted. In public records, like police reports, it’s normal to redact some information. In the Wildcat’s Police Beat section, editors deliberately withhold names of victims. But there is a legitimate reason to do so in those instances. ASUA’s reluctance to be candid about what should be unquestionably public knowledge demonstrates a sad lack of respect for constituents. Every time election season rolls around, candidates blurt out words like “transparency” and “accountability.” Then elections end, and, as best demonstrated by this one, ASUA forgets those words. How long does it take to realize the people who are burned most by red tape and secrecy are not the constituents, but the people who represent them? The air of secrecy, intentional or not, and the general incompetence of ASUA since the two presidential candidates were disqualified says more about ASUA than any tired campaign platform or parroted slogan could. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat editorial board and written by one of its members.

he U.N.-authorized no-fly zone has been successfully enforced in Libya, but the fate of Col. Muammar Gadhafi and his legion of pro-government mercenary forces is far from certain. The Obama administration’s muddled response to this crisis is equally disconcerting. Unless our objective in Libya is clearly defined, that is, we ensure Gadhafi’s expulsion, America’s military involvement in the region could spell disaster. Prior to the decision to participate in the implementation of a no-fly zone, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, standing before the U.N. Human Rights Council, stated “nothing was off the table” in regards to possible military action in Libya. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates then issued a veritable retraction of that statement, telling Congress that there was “a lot of loose talk” concerning potential military intervention. The White House’s policy, as voiced by President Barack Obama himself, then became

“Gadhafi needs to go,” which seemed to indicate that the U.S. was willing to facilitate regime change. But this position was not echoed by the Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mike Mullen, who has said “one potential outcome” of the U.S.’s engagement in Libya is that Gadhafi could remain in power. The U.S.’s attempt to abdicate its leading role in “Operation Odyssey Dawn” has also sent mixed messages. Obama sat on his hands while waiting for French President Nicolas Sarkozy and UK Prime Minister David Cameron to act first so the U.S. would not have to carry principal responsibility for the future of Libya’s government. But the U.S. will be held accountable for the outcome regardless of whether France and Britain “take the lead.” The U.S.’s military capacities easily surpass those of its allies; therefore, it is seen as the leader of any multilateral military operation that it participates in. What is abundantly clear is that the White

House is torn between whether it should facilitate regime change or allow the chips to fall where they may. The Obama administration should have opted for one of the two policies before it thoughtlessly agreed to participate in the implementation of a no-fly-zone. To-ing and fro-ing, unsure of whether to depose Gadhafi, could have devastating ramifications. The Obama administration’s nambypamby Libyan policy not only makes the U.S. seem impotent and indecisive, it poses a threat to Libyans and Americans alike. If left in power, Gadhafi, bruised, battered and seeking retribution, would continue to commit atrocities against the Libyan people and would almost certainly use his oil money to carry out acts of terror against the U.S. and its allies, like he did in 1988 when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland. Now that the U.S. is militarily committed to the crisis in Libya, it must see to it that Gadhafi is removed from power by the time the smoke has cleared, otherwise “Operation Odyssey Dawn” will become the single most disastrous foreign policy blunder since the invasion of Iraq. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

Criminalizing immigrants dehumanizes people Elisa Meza

Arizona Daily Wildcat

hat it means to be a human being in the state of Arizona is being redefined in ways that are becoming incomprehensible. As basic as it sounds, being human here is difficult. Though you might easily resort to calling that claim dramatic, I assure you it is. It’s nothing less than a dramatic infringement on our political consciousnesses as students and for surrounding local communities. The legislators cut funding from our universities and public schools first before military spending, dismantling the right to an equitable education. Access to health care isn’t even an option to many, but the accessibility of firearms bumps Arizona up to the trendiest American-Dream preservationist. The ultimate taboo, though, always comes down to immigration. It either gets left out of conversation because there’s a Republican in the room who believes people choose to die crossing the border, or others who are unsure of how to discuss it. There just aren’t any transparent connections to an explanation that makes sense to both sides. We have to learn to be critical thinkers before political advocates. Beyond the debates of immigration, there is a bigger machine that causes us all to blame each other before we blame the real trigger of disagreements. It’s here, right in Arizona. It’s called the private prison industry. Back in October 2010 in a story covered by

NPR reporter Laura Sullivan, two men showed up in Benson, Ariz., to sell private prisons to Glenn Nichols, the Benson city manager. In the article, “Prison Economics Help Drive Ariz. Immigration Law,” these two men were there to sell a prison specifically for undocumented women and children. “They talk about how positive this was going to be for the community,” Nichols said, “the amount of money that we would realize from each prisoner on a daily rate.” Heads became bounties for private prison companies while we blame the wrong people. The minds of greedy private prison industry companies split apart any human connection to how absolutely insane the idea of making money off of criminalizing women and children really is. It was no issue for these prison companies to find ways to use their new business model. All they had to do was call up their friends at the Arizona Legislature. Politicians discussed how they could profit by criminalizing human beings first. According to In These Times, an independent newsmagazine, “Over the past several years private-prison companies Corrections Corporations of America (CCA) and the Geo Group, through their work as members of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and through their ties to the Arizona Legislature and the office of Gov. Jan Brewer, have had ample opportunities — and obvious

intent — to ensure the passage of S.B. 1070.” Remember S.B. 1070? It has become the staple of disparity in making money off of humans in Arizona. Being brown means something more in the times we’re in. Being brown in Arizona was the first provision of this bill. And it seems we’re still blaming a border wall. It’s not about the crime of being undocumented in the U.S. It’s finding ways to ignore the internal issue of having that population already embedded in our country’s history and present. It’s about understanding the issue of immigration as something we have to actually invest intellectual thought in and not just utilizing the color of skin to make it easier to find the so-called criminals. Even if you’re a conservative student who believes we should have laws like S.B. 1070, the lobbyists you support are still not looking out for your “safety” or “benefit” by having such a strict immigration bill. They’re looking out for the checkbooks. They put up the “securing the border” front to gain your votes so they can use private prison contractors to lock up people that look exactly like me even for a way to make profit. Before you think Arizona politicians are actually out to help you, even as a student at the university, think twice. They’re not. And you have the right to know that, just as I have the right to be the color I am without being fearful of being identified as anything less than human. We are all human, which is the common denominator we never include in our discussions. Make the discourse critical, and we will eventually find a real solution without criminalizing people. — Elisa Meza is a junior studying English. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Talk is cheap, but laughter costs more than ever It’s no joke: Americans are paying more bucks for their yucks. According to the 2011 Cost of Laughing Index — a compilation of 16 leading humor indicators, including rubber chickens, Groucho glasses, comedy club tickets and the fee of writing a TV sitcom — Americans are paying 3 percent more per laugh than last year. According to humor consultant Malcolm Kushner, who has compiled the index since 1987, the increased price of chuckles, giggles and snickers comes at a bad time. “We’re on a path to a future devoid of mirth and merriment,” said Kushner,

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 6 — Even when you’re prepared, tides can surge unexpectedly. Believe in love, even in the darkest moments. Believe in yourself, despite any doubts. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 7 — Use common sense with someone else’s money. If you feel moody or grumpy, get lost somewhere beautiful.

He developed the index to track how the punch line affects the bottom line and says this year the biggest price increase percentagewise came from Groucho glasses. “In 2009, Groucho glasses cost $15 a dozen,” Kushner griped. “Now they’re $24. That’s a 60 percent increase in just two years! At that price even Groucho couldn’t afford them.” Another big jump in laughter prices came from the TV world, where the

minimum price of writing a TV sitcom rose from $15,946 to $16,424. But it wasn’t all sad news where the cost of laughter is concerned. Many leading laughter indicators stayed at the same price as 2010, including the cost of a dozen chickens, which remains steady at $72 per dozen, and the price of the average issue of Mad magazine, which stayed at $5.99 per issue. In one case, laughter got cheaper. In 2010, a box of 12 whoopee cushions was $3. Now, a year later, the price has deﬂated to $1.20. — AOL News

Sweet (16) revenge

ELITE EIGHT Arizona vs. UConn 4 p.m., CBS

Crushing Duke to advance to Elite Eight is ‘a hell of a feeling’

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy sports writer

ANAHEIM, Calif. — This wasn’t a game. This was Duke. This was the No. 1 seed Blue Devils in the Sweet 16 and Arizona playing in their bracket. This was head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s quest to become the all-time winningest coach and Sean Miller just coaching in his bracket. This was the elite basketball school destined to crash into the region’s other elite basketball school as the Duke-UConn Elite Eight matchup that everybody picked in their brackets. “We ended up with a good win by, uhhh — how much did ROY, page 11

Arizona, UConn guards share deep NYC roots By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ANAHEIM, Calif. — If Arizona basketball is a family, Connecticut’s Kemba Walker would be a first cousin, Momo Jones would be the brother and UA assistant coach Book Richardson would be the father. Together this weekend, the Honda Center will host a reunion for the Bronx natives. “It’s a family affair,” Jones said. Walker walked off the court after his 36-point performance in UConn’s win against San Diego State on Thursday when Jones walked on the court to warm up. “He told me ‘I love you and do your thing,’” Jones said. “Coming into the locker room, not playing so good in the first half, that was in my head: ‘Wow, what it would be like to beat Duke and play against one of your brothers in the Elite Eight UCONN, page 11

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sophomore forward Derrick Williams fights to get a shot off in Arizona’s 93-77 Sweet 16 win over Duke University in Anaheim, Calif., on Thursday. Williams’ 32 points, including 25 in the first half, paced Arizona’s blowout win. The Wildcats will take on UConn on Saturday in the Elite Eight.

GAME RECAP continued from page 1 on the streets, people in Vegas betting on games, they counted us out.” Led by a monstrous 25-point first half, UA forward Derrick Williams carried the Wildcats with 32 points in the game, tying the Arizona (30-7) school record for points in an NCAA Tournament game. Opening the second half down by only six, Williams’ teammates stepped up. Jones scored 14 points and had three assists in the second half while guard Kyle Fogg limited Duke’s national player of the year candidate Nolan Smith to a horrendous 3-for-14 shooting night and six turnovers. “He’s a great all-around player, can do it all,” Fogg said. “I really took it upon myself to do my best on him. Even before the game, last night, I tried watching a lot of film on him to see what ways he scores. Just try to take away something. Players like that, you can’t completely shut them down.” Trailing by one point at 19-18 halfway through the first half, Arizona allowed Duke (32-5) to go on a 12-2 run over the following four minutes, giving the Blue Devils their largest lead of the game. Not surprisingly, the Wildcats would climb back on the shoulders of Williams, who was too skillful on the perimeter for Duke big men Mason and Miles Plumlee, but too big for small forward Kyle Singler to handle inside. A 35-27 lead by Duke was cut after a drive and kick by Jones to Williams ended with the forward connecting on a 3-pointer. He would hit another on the next possession and was 5-for-6 from long range in the first half, hitting one before the buzzer to reel in the Blue Devils’ to a 4438 halftime lead. “There’s Derrick Williams for you,”

Fogg said. “It’s one of the most amazing things I’ve seen, ever.” It wasn’t enough to stay with the Blue Devils, however. Four of their starters had two fouls coming out of the locker room. Singler and freshman point guard Kyrie Irving combined to score 25 of Duke’s first 31 points, but outside those two Blue Devils, no other player scored in double figures. Singler finished with 18 and Irving tallied a Duke-high 28. Arizona rallied in the second half behind Jones, who penetrated and drew the weak side defense to allow forward Jesse Perry to slip underneath the basket for a lay-in that cut Duke’s lead to one, 48-47 , with 17:09 on the clock. A Jones fastbreak pull-up jumper tied the game at 53 with less than 16 minutes to play, and his free throws on a push during the next possession gave Arizona its first lead since its 3-2 advantage. From there, the 10-11 deep Wildcats wore on Duke with their attacking style. “When you got to pick up full court, over and over and over again, they were kind of getting desperate to get stops,” forward Jamelle Horne said. “Once we saw that, we kind of spread the floor out and got a lot of open shots.” Down 53-47 at one point, the Wildcats went on a 19-2 run, over a span of 4:30, a period in which Williams only scored two points. Duke would never threaten again, though it’s to the credit of a ceaseless Arizona aggressiveness. “Keep attacking or be attacked,” Horne said. “(ESPN commentator) Skip Bayless said we were going to lose, I could say a bunch of TV shows (said the same thing). “They can throw that away and eat their words today.”

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ANAHEIM, Calif. — Here were the three main concerns for Arizona coming into the game against the No. 1 seeded Duke Blue Devils: avoiding turnovers against Duke’s coveted ball pressure, playing against the interior size of the Blue Devils and finding a way to stop the back-court combo of Kyrie Irving and Nolan Smith. It looked like a recipe for disaster, but when the Wildcats finally hit the court against the

Blue Devils on Thursday, a convincing 9377 victory in Anaheim, Calif., Arizona used all three of their main concerns against head coach Mike Krzyzewski’s squad. It left one of the most highly-respected coaches baffled at how the Wildcats outattacked his Blue Devils. After weathering a storm in the first half behind forward Derrick Williams’ 25-point outburst, his teammates put the pedal to the floor in the second. “I can’t explain that,” Krzyzewski said.

’Cats ready for Pac-10 grind By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT It’s no secret that the Pacific 10 Conference is one of the best when it comes to baseball, but what makes it so special? According to Arizona right fielder Steve Selsky, it’s a little bit of everything. “Everyone’s really competitive, and the talent’s definitely there,” Selsky said. “Everyone has good coaching, you could say that there’s more pitching, maybe more hitting, I don’t know, maybe even more defense. It’s hard to describe, they’re all just good. You don’t really have any easy games.” The Pac-10’s depth has been clear since the start of the season, when six teams from the conference — including UCLA at No. 2 — appeared in Baseball America’s preseason top-25 poll. Though Selsky couldn’t pick one thing that makes the Pac-10 stand above the rest of the nation’s conferences, Arizona head coach Andy Lopez didn’t waste any time saying what he thinks the league brings to the table. “Let’s put it this way, there’s somebody throwing right now in the Pac-10 on a Friday night that’s going to be in the big leagues in a year,” Lopez said, referring to the conference’s quality pitching. “If you go through (the conference), the arms are pretty special on the West Coast.” Recent history supports Lopez’s notion that pitching is what separates the

Pac-10 from the rest of the NCAA. Tim Lincecum (Washington), Mike Leake (ASU) and Daniel Schlereth (Arizona) are all current major league pitchers who made their mark in the Pac-10 within the last five years. Because of the depth of the conference, Pac-10 teams also face another unique challenge — facing a top-25 team nearly every weekend. As tough as that task will be, Selsky said that Arizona is much more prepared for the grind of the conference schedule than it was last season, when the Wildcats roared out to a 20-4 start before struggling to a 12-15 conference record and seventh-place finish. “We worked hard,” Selsky said about the offseason. “Everyone’s in shape, everyone feels good at the plate and everyone’s pitching well. I think we’ll be fine in the (Pac-10).” Lopez also said that this year’s team is up to the challenge, thanks in large part to the experience that the group gained last season with almost entirely freshmen and sophomores filling out the lineup. “It’s like the first time you drive a car, it might be a little interesting,” Lopez said. “But they’ve done it for a year and they understand the process. They understand what it feels like to go on the road for a couple weekends in a row … how important the games are — every pitch. “There’s a lot on the line, you either make or break your season in the Pac10, and they understand that.”

ANALYSIS

“They’re great players but, one thing — I’m not 6-10, 260,” Perry said. “But you know, I can dribble real good and attack the basket also. I just wanted to spread their big men out and run our own plays, catch them off balance and go.” Arizona’s mismatches used that spreadout offense to force Duke into one-on-one match-ups. Even with the Blue Devil’s usually successful ball pressure, it wasn’t only Williams who took advantage of taking on defenders in isolation situations. “Once you beat them off the dribble, you get in the paint, they’re great at taking charges or flopping,” said sophomore Kevin Parrom. “You have to kick out. We have a lot of shooters.” And Arizona made those kick-outs, scoring on 9-for-15 of its 3-pointers. Often, there wasn’t even a need to kick out after beating the Blue Devils off the dribble. After losing the points in the paint

continued from page 9 “That’s what happens in sports, sometimes one team gets more aggressive than the other. I don’t think it’s something our kids did poorly, but we had no stop for them. “We just couldn’t stop ’em.” It all came down to match-ups. With Duke’s 6-foot-10 frontline of Miles and Mason Plumlee, Williams took advantage from the outside, hitting five 3-pointers in the first half. Krzyzewski even tried small forward Kyle Singler on Williams, but he gave up bulk and played most of the second half in foul trouble, scoring just four points after a strong 14-point first half. Whoever guarded Williams, it still left Duke’s other lumbering big men on the outside against Arizona forwards Jesse Perry or Jamelle Horne.

Pac-10 season starts with Duel in the Desert By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The second half, and most important part of the season, has arrived for the No. 15 Arizona baseball team as it heads to Tempe to take on the No. 4 ASU Sun Devils in its first Pacific 10 Conference series of the season. “We start with a great team in ASU,” said pre-season All American Steve Selsky. “It’s the rivalry at their place on the road. We’ve just got to come out ready to play every day and I think we’ll be fine.” At the start of the season, seven of the Pac-10 teams were ranked by several publications, and the talent of the conference isn’t lost on anyone, especially head coach Andy Lopez. “There’s somebody throwing in the Pac10 on Friday nights that’s going to be in the big leagues in a year,” he said “You can go through the Tim Lincecums, the Brandon Morrows, the arms are pretty special on the West Coast.” And matching up with some of the nation’s best pitching is something that the Arizona hitters are ready for. The Wildcat offense has put up strong numbers this season — seven players of the Arizona starting line-up hitting more than .300. The biggest surprise for the Wildcats has come in the form of the freshman Johnny Field, who replaced the injured Selsky throughout the first month of the season. battle 16-6 in the first half, the Wildcats broke down a tired and frantic Duke defense in the second, outscoring the Blue Devils 24-6 around the basket. Most of that came from forward Solomon Hill and point guard Momo Jones. Hill finished with 13 points while Jones scored 16 and got six assists mostly with drive-andkick plays. “Usually if you play Duke, if your guards don’t play well, you’re going to lose,” said assistant coach Archie Miller. “(Jones) had a lot of opportunities with their pressure to split the gaps and make the plays.”

Defining defense

Krzyzewski announced earlier this week that freshman guard Kyrie Irving would see extensive playing time against the Wildcats. Much of that was to be alongside senior Nolan Smith, the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year.

Field leads the team with a .612 slugging percentage to complement his .358 batting average. He also leads the team with nine doubles. With Selsky back in action and firmly planted in the outfield, Lopez said that he wants to use Field as much as possible. “As a head coach you want as many players like (Field) as you can get,” he said. But regardless of Arizona’s success thus far, it hasn’t faced a team as talented as ASU. The Sun Devils are heading into the weekend’s contest hitting .331 as a team, and will be sure to test the Arizona starters, Kurt Heyer, Kyle Simon and Tyler Hale. Despite the challenge, Selsky stressed how eager his club is to begin the conference part of the season. “I can’t even explain how much more ready we are this year than last year for this,” he said. “We worked hard over the fall, everyone’s in shape.” After ASU, 26 conference games will still remain on the docket for the Wildcats, but Lopez is confident in the maturity of his squad. The experience the Wildcats’ gained last year will be vital to the team’s success. “They’ve (already) done it for a year,” Lopez said. “They understand the process, they understand what it feels like to go on the road for a couple weekends in a row in the Pac-10 they understand how important the games are.” Defending both at once is a tough task, but while Irving went off for 28 points, Smith struggled mightily in his final collegiate outing, shooting 3-for-14 from the field and turning the ball over six times. “Defensively, I’ve got to give Kyle (Fogg) a lot of credit,” Archie Miller said. “If (Irving and Smith) both on, they’re impossible to beat.”

Play of the game

Jamelle Horne’s dunk off an offensive rebound with 7:03 left gave Arizona a 7763 lead. More importantly, it was who he dunked on and how he did it. His elbow at the rim, Horne wedged the ball in his palm against his forearm before throwing it down on Duke veteran Kyle Singler. “That was nasty,” Horne said. “I think for it to be on (fellow senior) Kyle (Singler) was that much better.”

Men’s swimming set for NCAAs By Kelly Hultgren Arizona Daily Wildcat

A week after the women’s swim team took fifth at the NCAA tournament, it’s the men’s turn. The No.6 Arizona men’s swimming and diving team is in its second day of competition at the 2011 NCAA Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships in Minneapolis, Minne., at University Aquatic Center. For the three-day meet, the Wildcats took 15 of their top swimmers, all of whom qualified throughout the season. Of those 15, eight have had previous AllAmerican distinction. A promising competitor amongst the group is junior captain Cory Chitwood, who is the reigning 200-yard backstroke

Arizona men’s and women’s tennis teams will both square off against the Washington Huskies this weekend. The women are currently ranked No. 31 in the country while the men are ranked No. 53.

’Cats and dogs Arizona tennis takes on the Huskies By Zack Rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona men’s tennis team opens play in the Pacific 10 Conference today against the No. 20 Washington Huskies in Seattle today. During spring break, No. 53 Arizona (8-7) lost to Indiana and Oklahoma by scores of 5-2 and 4-2. Freshman Giacomo Miccini stood out in the loss to Indiana, as he won his singles match 6-2, 6-1. Fellow freshman Mario Urquidi has had an impressive stretch recently, winning three of his past four singles matches, dating back to March 4 against Sacramento State. This match against Washington (13-4) will mark the 25th meeting between the two schools, with the Huskies holding a 14-10 all-time advantage over the Wildcats. The Huskies most recently topped Santa Clara University by a score of 5-1. Following the match against Washington, the Wildcats

ROY continued from page 9 we win by?” UA guard Brendon Lavender laughed and asked a few reporters in the locker room after the game. Laughter erupted. Laughter? Afterward a network television producer asked Lavender to send Ellen DeGeneres a video message thanking her for picking Arizona to win the national championship. What the heck was happening? Clearly this wasn’t just a win. This was a win against Duke. No. This was dismantling Duke. Arizona embarrassed Duke. Arizona trashed Duke. Arizona left it all on the floor and left you asking, “Why not us?” Momo Jones has asked that question so many times it’s not even worth asking anymore. Long after the game, after the interviews, after the uniforms were washed and after the team left the locker room, Jones sat

will face the Oregon Ducks in Eugene, Ore. The Ducks have a 9-5 overall record going into the weekend. The Wildcats have a tough task before them as the Ducks have an impressive 6-1 record on their home court. This will be the 17th meeting against the Ducks, with Arizona holding a demanding 13-3 advantage. The No. 31 Wildcat women’s team has continued to play well, recently defeating UC Irvine by a score of 5-2, improving its record to an astounding 15-3. Stand-outs from that match include Natasha Marks, Lacey Smyth and Kim Stubbe. Those three, along with Jane Huh, all won their singles matches. Marks and Smyth won their doubles point 8-3, as did Kim Stubbe and Susan McRann 8-5. Marks has won four out of her last five singles matches. Arizona will try and win their third straight Pac-10 conference game as they face the Washington Huskies in Seattle on Sunday.

down to finally unravel the tape off his ankles and thoughts off his mind. “I can’t even explain the feeling. To be honest with you,” Jones said, “it’s a hell of a feeling.” Only the ripping of tape off his ankles disrupted the silence that ensued after I said, simply: “40 minutes from a Final Four, huh?” He paused, smiled and shook his head. The team could’ve been back at the hotel by then but Jones had no urgency to leave a locker room that just produced an Elite Eight berth. “You never know what life brings. You struggle, you struggle, you struggle,” Jones said, “and all the struggles, this is what it amounts to. “Forty minutes away from the Final Four,” he said, and at that point it all set in. “Don’t get no better than that.” The struggles built this win into an emotional exhale. This was for Richard Jefferson, Gilbert Arenas, Luke Walton and everybody who endured the 2001 National Championship loss.

champion. Chitwood will be aiming to defend his title and bring in points for the 100y back, 200y back and 200y individual medley. Another standout swimmer is fellow junior Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or, who has the potential to compete in six different events. For head coach Frank Busch, this tournament marks his final meet with Arizona. Busch, who has been head coach for the past 22 years, will resign in May to take on his new role as USA Swimming’s national team director. Unlike last year, the Wildcats’ odds of winning are greater, because the team is actually healthy. Going into the championships last season, Arizona was ranked No. 1 and looking to win its second championship

in three seasons. However, the team found themselves in troubled waters when they were suddenly infected with a gastrointestinal virus just days before the meet. The team managed to claim third place, but knew poor health inevitably hindered its performance. The team lost eight seniors to graduation last year, but this year, health seems to be on its side. Going into the meet, California is ranked No. 1, followed by Stanford, Auburn, Texas and then Florida. Though this is the second year the Cardinal took the Pacific 10 Conference title, Arizona finished ahead of Stanford last year. If the Wildcats do well, it could be the men’s sixth top-four finish within the last seven seasons.

Arizona softball looks to find consistency in its final non-conference series of the season By Tyler Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat The No. 9 Arizona softball team will face California State University, Northridge this weekend in a three-game series at Hillenbrand Stadium. The series will be the Wildcats’ last before Pacific 10 Conference play starts next week. The Matadors are 12-15 this season and will face the Wildcats for the first time since 2006 when they suffered a three-game sweep by Arizona. Arizona went 3-2 last weekend at the Judi Garman Classic in Fullerton, Calif., with wins over No. 20 Louisiana-Lafayette, DePaul and San Jose State and losses against No. 7 Oklahoma and No. 3 Michigan. The Wildcats are now 0-4 against top-10 teams this season. “We’re not hitting on all cylinders right now,” said head coach Mike Candrea. “We need to get the car tuned up and ready to go, more than anything.” Senior outfielder Brittany Lastrapes said the team realizes the schedule is about to get a lot tougher. “Now that we’re half way through the season, I think it’s a little more ‘alright we gotta pick it This was for Chase Budinger, Jordan Hill, Nic Wise and everybody who took the blame for Arizona losing its elite status. This was for national respect. “One fan told me, ‘My shirt is getting small from the 1997 championship, I need another one.’” Derrick Williams said. “That right there flipped the switch. I want to give everyone what they want.” Williams did give everyone what they wanted: To watch Duke lose. No. To watch Duke suffer. To watch Duke collapse and to watch Duke give up to the point where Lavender couldn’t even recall how many points Arizona beat them by. “It’s a dream come true,” Jones said. In Anaheim, the happiest place on earth, dreams did come true. — Bryan Roy is an interdisciplinary studies senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Arizona softball’s preseason No. 1 ranking led to high expectations, but the Wildcats record of 0-4 against top 10 teams has head coach Mike Candrea concerned. Arizona will host California State University, Northridge this weekend for a three-game series.

up now,’” she said. “We don’t really have any more room for losses like that. So I think the urgency has picked up a little bit.” Lastrapes was also named last week’s Pac-10 Player of the Week after she hit .577 with 11 RBIs and at least two hits in six of the Wildcats’ seven games. She is now hitting .510 on the season. With the Wildcats now four games past the season’s midpoint, senior catcher Stacie Chambers finds herself well

within reach of both the Arizona all-time home-run record and the NCAA all-time home run record. With just one homer last week, Chambers now sits at 12 on the season and 79 for her career. She is six shy of Laura Espinoza’s Arizona record and 11 away from former UCLA Bruin Stacey Nuveman’s national mark. The weekend’s games are at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and noon on Sunday.

Walker completely controlled a close game in a raucous atmosphere more than 2,000 miles away from Storrs, Conn. Jones showed flashes of drive and demeanor, too. “The great thing about when you talk about NYC guards and being fortunate to be one of them, you really encourage that behavior and that swagger,” Richardson said. “Kemba (Walker) did a great job as he looks over, ‘Oh my God, they can’t stop me,’ like Kemba (Walker) just win.” Walker did win. So did Jones. “I kept my word,” Jones said. “I’ll see him Saturday”

continued from page 9 to go to the Final Four.” And it happened. “I told him right before he got off the court, ‘I’ll see you Saturday.’ I wouldn’t disappoint,” Jones said. And he didn’t. College basketball fans know Walker as a national player of the year frontrunner and as the explosive ingredient to the Huskies’ postseason surge. Richardson knows Walker as son-like figure. “I have a 10-year-old son named E.J. and if my son can be any way as good as Kemba (Walker) is as a person, I’ve done my job,” Richardson said. Richardson coached Walker throughout AAU and maintained close contact even after relocating to Arizona with Sean Miller ’s staff. Just last week the two video chatted via FaceTime as UConn — fresh off its fourwins-in-four-days Big East Tournament title — prepared
