TUITION HEARING

Students weigh hike in tuition, fees UA proposes 3 percent increase in 2013-14 tuition at public meeting ALISON DORF Arizona Daily Wildcat

UA President Ann Weaver Hart’s proposal for a 3 percent increase in tuition, in addition to an $80 library fee, drew mixed reactions from students Wednesday night.

The Arizona Board of Regents held a public hearing to gather student input before the regents vote in April on tuition for the 201314 school year.

Hart’s proposal includes a base tuition increase of 3 percent for graduate, undergraduate, resident and nonresident tuition. Residents and nonresidents in the College of Medicine would also see a 3 percent increase.

Tuition for College of Law students, however, would be reduced by 20 percent for residents and 27 percent for nonresidents.

Hart also requested an increase in investments and in UA employees, as well as an $80 library fee.

The tuition increases will generate about $10.8 million from continuing students, Hart said.

Katy Murray, student body president for the UA , was the first student to speak about the new tuition proposal.

“On behalf of the 40,000 students at our university … we have carefully looked over the plan that President Hart has put forth, and we are willing to stand by her side in supporting that plan,” Murray said. “But with that being said, it’s also very important, from the student perspective, to realize that that is the absolute maximum that we are able accommodate at this time.”

Although she spoke in support of the 3 percent increase, Murray said that students are not able to support the $80 library fee.

Murray also expressed disappointment that student body leaders were not allowed to sit at the table with decision makers

Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, said he was very disappointed that students did not have a seat at the decision table.

New guidelines for proposals on tuition and fees for UA graduate and professional students have been created by the UA administration and GPSC. The document, known as the “Memorandum of Understanding,” was drafted by the Graduate and Professional Student Council in collaboration with the UA administration, said Robert Jacobi, assembly chair and lead author of the memorandum.

The purpose of the document, as stated in the MOU, is that it “outlines principles of shared governance with regards to changes in tuition and mandatory fees (hereafter fees) at the University of Arizona and is entered into freely by the students and administration committed to a constructive dialogue to strengthen the University.”

Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Andrew Comrie and Vice President for Student Affairs Melissa Vito have both signed the memorandum.

The document has nine guiding principles focused on keeping the cost of education as low as possible and making the process of adjusting fees and tuition as transparent as possible. The second principle states that all fee and tuition proposals must be presented to GPSC so that the council can study the proposal and make recommendations to the UA administration. The administration is supposed to present the proposal “early enough to allow sufficient time for GPSC to study the proposal.”

“Right now there is 8,633 graduate and professional students at the University of Arizona and

ARIZONA BOARD OF REGENTS Chairman Rick Myers and UA President Ann Hart welcome attendees to a public meeting Wednesday to discuss a proposed 3 percent tuition increase. The regents invited students to state their opinions before they make a final decision in April.

this year, unlike in many tuition hearings prior.

“This year we’ve made a subtle change,” said Rick Myers, chairman of the board of regents, during his introduction for the hearing. “The reason for that is this is a formal regents meeting where we’re being given testimony about tuition, and the student government leaders represent the students. … We really

felt that this year to highlight that, they’re sitting in the audience.”

However, Murray said the change was discouraging.

“I truly believe that on behalf of students, it really is disheartening to see that we don’t have a seat this year,” Murray said. “We really, really would love for you to reconsider that next year, because at this point, we as students are really worried

Student union loses more than $15,000 following UA lockdown ALISON DORF Arizona Daily Wildcat

After a 911 call about a gunman reportedly seen in the Administration building caused police to shut down several areas on campus Friday, the Student Union Memorial Center is facing a total of $16,017.34 in financial losses so far.

The 911 call prompted the lockdown and evacuation of the Administration building. Officers also evacuated the Student Union Memorial Center, the Modern Languages building and the UA Mall.

The loss of sales accounted for the majority of the financial losses, with a total of $12,264, followed by labor loss for a total of $2,583.21 and a total product loss of $1,170.13.

Many employees evacuated the building while still on the clock, and in some cases left kitchen equipment turned on and left some food to go to waste, said Joel Hauff, interim director of Arizona Student Unions.

“We noticed cops surrounding the student union.

Our crew locked down all of the gates … no one was allowed towards the garage,” said Cody Baron, a business freshman and a Papa John’s employee.

“Slowly, they [Tucson Police Department officers] were letting people out of the union.”

After staff and students were locked out of the building for four hours, Hauff said he decided the Cellar Bistro would be the only business to open its doors again that night.

“When the word came down that we needed to get out, people got out,” Hauff said. “We did leave with, in some cases, fryers on, or ovens on or a grill top on or things like that, and of course we have fire suppression systems and other things in place to deal with that, if it became a problem.”

After getting permission from police officers, around 8 p.m. a small team was allowed to go through each unit and quickly make sure cash registers were locked and turned off, grills and fryers were off and that everything was secured, Hauff said.

“We decided that we wouldn’t re-open anything

in the food court, but that if we could get it done by 10 p.m., we would go ahead and re-open the Cellar [Bistro],” Hauff said. “The Cellar [Bistro] is typically open until 2 a.m. on a Friday night — it’s a very important service for especially the northern part of campus, because they don’t have other food options that are close by to go to.”

However, other restaurants had closed by this time, and some were forced to throw away food product that had been sitting in ovens or on shelves for hours.

The Cactus Grill saw a total of $163.77 in product loss; however, Starbucks saw no product loss at all.

While Burger King, Panda Express and Papa John’s also saw a loss, it did not affect the student union, as they are outside corporations, according to Hauff.

For the UofA Bookstore, the early closure was not a huge setback, according to Dillon Nakata, marketing and communications manager for the UA Bookstores.

“It wasn’t too major for us because in reality, we close at six, so we only really lost an hour and even probably less than that,” Nakata said. “I don’t think the announcement was even made here until like a little bit after five.

“Comparing the hour from this year to last year, last year we did 34 additional transactions, versus this year we couldn’t do any in that hour,” he added.

Aside from labor, food costs and revenue loss, the emotional impact of the gunman scare also had to be taken into account, said Todd Millay, the marketing and communications manager for Arizona Student Unions.

“These are students — we have parents calling in … concerned about their kids, which is rightfully so.

Nobody knows what’s going on,” Millay said.

The incident has since prompted discussion about how the situation could have been handled better, such as what went wrong and the safest place people could have gone.

“I will say, it’s nice that it was nothing,” Millay said.

In an attempt to recover some of the financial loss, the student union will be looking into filing an insurance claim, Hauff said.

“I think any loss like this is a substantial loss, simply because … all of the [student] union’s revenues go to help support services for students,” Hauff said. “Given what could have happened on Friday or what the incident really could have represented … I’d much rather go through what we went through … and to incur this kind of a loss, than to actually go through something that was real … that the whole campus community would have to be dealing with.”

UA doctor aims to change transplants Kelsi Thorud

Arizona Daily Wildcat

A UA surgeon is looking to revolutionize organ transplants.

Dr. Zain Khalpey, a UA cardiothoracic surgeon, associate professor and director of clinical and transplantation research, is exploring ways to regenerate, recondition or create new organs. Khalpey hopes to create techniques that will drastically change the way the medical field treats and conducts organ transplantation.

“One of the key problems is trying to replete the donor pool, which is ever-shrinking,” Khalpey said. “I’ve been trying to tackle this whole idea ever since I fell in love with doing transplants.”

Khalpey was born in Africa and earned his medical education in the U.K. He studied all across Europe and the U.S. before settling down at the UA to focus on his organ transplantation research. He is looking at three major areas: “bridge to regeneration,” organ reconditioning and organogenesis, the creation of new organs.

“Bridge to regeneration” looks to reduce the number of people who need heart transplants by refining stem cell treatments for failing hearts. Currently, mechanical devices known as ventricular assist devices are used as a “bridge to transplant” in patients who need heart transplants to keep their hearts functioning while they wait for a donor.

Inspired by this technique, Khalpey said he hopes to evolve it into “a bridge to regeneration” by using those same devices to regenerate failing hearts with stem cell injections.

He is now involved in clinical trials and studies researching ways to improve the entire stem cell injection process.

“As we are making progress in certain areas, we have to understand that we are not dealing with just one cell type, but that these different cell types have to work and interact with each

other and that’s where the problem right now lies,” said Rainer Gruessner, head of the UA department of surgery.

Khalpey is also researching organ reconditioning, which focuses on increasing the number of donor lungs available for patients by taking donor lungs that would be discarded due to defects and healing them for transplant.

“There are a lot of organs being wasted unnecessarily which could otherwise be resuscitated to improve the integrity of the organ prior to transplant,” Khalpey said.

Khalpey is in the process of creating the UA’s Ex Vivo Lung Program, which will look at new ways to recondition lungs that were donated after death using devices and drugs to manipulate the organ and make it fit for transplant.

The technique will be put to the test this summer when the UA serves as the site for the Expand trial, which will compare the survival rate of reconditioned lungs versus normal lungs when transplanted.

“I don’t like mice experiments. I want to do it on human tissue so that we can take that jump even though all the mechanisms have not been answered,” Khalpey said. “I think there has to be somebody who can actually push the limits to try to make that happen.”

Khalpey is looking to create successful organogenesis, the growth of new organs, by combining an unusable donor organ with the transplant patient’s own stem cells in the near future and creating whole new human hearts and lungs using a 3-D bioprinter in the long run.

The 3-D printer has been used in fields like architecture and dentistry to make models and dental crowns; recently, the same 3-D technology has been used in the medical field to create organs, such as a bladder that was successfully transplanted into a patient in 2007. Khalpey hopes to use this technology to someday create human hearts and lungs.

“It is going to happen in my lifetime,” Khalpey

Zain Khalpey, a UA cardiothoracic surgeon, works with a bioreactor, where organs are placed to develop after being decellularized and seeded with a patient’s stem cells.

said. “The reconditioning of lungs is happening already. They are waiting for the FDA [Food and Drug Administration] to approve and we will hear in 30 days. We can go clinical in six months, and then with the regeneration, where you take somebody’s stem cells and you inject them into their heart, is already happening in various clinical trials.”

Khalpey said his ultimate goal is to give patients in need of transplants more opportunities to quickly receive the organ they need.

“It would be a paradigm shift for every patient in failure, better quality of life, better

as early as possible in the tuition setting process to both understand student priorities and to share institutional needs, constraints and opportunities,” from page 1 Vito said in an email interview. “We also reiterate the elections that we have, and the efforts and [our] intent to make sure that we obtain clear services we provide, do make a difference,” said student feedback about any potential additional Zachary Brooks, GPSC president. “So the fact that student fees.” in the future, graduate students will know there is a process by which the administration has to come to GPSC for every tuition and fee proposal, I think it is beneficial and is meaningful to every graduate and professional student out there.”

The memorandum has a separate process outlined for both tuition and fee proposals.

For tuition proposals, the document focuses on “necessity, transparency and timeliness.”

For fee proposals, the document focuses on “transparency, surveys, proposal approval and documentation.”

The memorandum is a result of the fact that the 2013 tuition increase proposal did not include supporting information for the increase and did not allow enough time for examination, Jacobi said.

The administration is not required to follow the council’s thoughts on fees and tuition; the purpose is to establish a channel for the administration to get the endorsement of GPSC before bringing the proposals to the Arizona Board of Regents, Jacobi said.

Ryan revock/arizona Daily Wildcat “Through the MOU we are addressing a process Zachary Brooks, GPSC president, is working on a docuto make sure that we work with student leadership ment that sets the guidelines for proposals on tuitions and fees.

Alumnus, Pulitzer winner offers wisdom

SUSHI SHOWDOWN

mylo erickson/arizona Daily Wildcat

Ryan Gabrielson, UA alumnus and recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, shared his history and discussed the future of news on Wednesday in the Ventana room.

Kelsi Thorud Arizona Daily Wildcat

A UA alumnus speculated on the future of news with the UA community Wednesday night.

Ryan Gabrielson, a UA journalism alumnus and Pulitzer Prize winner, returned to campus to give a speech to students on the importance of investigative journalism and the future of news.

Gabrielson, 32, attended the UA for four years, where he worked as a news reporter and news editor at the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

He left in 2003, without graduating, to move to Texas with his then-girlfriend, now wife, also a UA alumna. Upon arriving in Texas, Gabrielson caught a break when a local newspaper, The Monitor, fired someone suddenly and hired him to fill the position.

“I was making far less than anyone else there. I couldn’t get anybody to pay attention to me,” Gabrielson said. “The degree is that first chip you get to put in. I have a kind of perverse sense of pride that I made it without that, but it’s not advisable.”

He worked as a staff writer at The Monitor for one year and then moved back to Arizona to work for the East Valley Tribune in Maricopa County. Gabrielson worked there for five years, and it was there that he won a Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting, as well as a Polk Award.

“If you can choose someplace to start a career, go someplace where there’s great news,” Gabrielson said. “Don’t go to the big news outlets.”

Gabrielson won the Pulitzer Prize for an investigative piece he wrote analyzing Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and how his concentration on immigration enforcement delayed investigations of other serious crimes.

He collaborated with fellow UA alumnus Paul Giblin on this story and eventually proved that the sheriff’s immigration agenda was hindering public safety by creating slow emergency response times.

The East Valley Tribune crumbled soon after Gabrielson won his award, so he decided to accept a one-year investigative reporting fellowship at UC Berkeley.

There, Gabrielson focused all of his energy on investigative journalism.

“It doesn’t really feel like a choice to me. I just love digging,” Gabrielson said. “Certainly I can do daily beat reporting. I’ve done it. I love not only reporting the news, but getting at the bone; I love getting my teeth around the bone and being able to just really explain not only the effect, but the cause.”

After his fellowship, Gabrielson joined a nonprofit news outlet called California Watch, a part of the Center for Investigative Reporting, where he continues to work today. Here Gabrielson published his most recent series, “Broken Shield,” which focused on the corrupt practices and flawed training of a special police force created to protect the developmentally disabled people living in state-run care centers.

During his investigation he found that police were ignoring multiple sexual abuse cases and botching ongoing investigations due to a lack of training.

Gabrielson was honored with another award for this investigation, the 2013 Al Nakkula Award for police reporting, and caused the police force to retrain staff and the state to change laws.

While sharing his past experiences in journalism with the UA campus, Gabrielson also stressed the importance of substantial news and good reporting.

“Journalism that is just repeating things that are already in the public atmosphere has no value because there is no work behind it,” said Gabrielson, “but stuff that is exposed because of a reporter’s legwork will always have value.”

Gabrielson went on to talk about the importance of creating a relationship with sources and never giving up on a story. He gave tips and hints to students looking to go into the field of journalism, but also generalized his techniques to illustrate their importance in any type of journalistic field.

“I hope that it’s inspiring. The kind of work that he’s doing is so important,” said Susan Knight, an associate professor of practice with the UA School of Journalism.

“Not everybody has to be an investigative reporter, but I think it’s inspiring to hear the kind of work that he’s doing.”

Major leagues need gay role model DAN DESROCHERS Arizona Daily Wildcat

G

ay guys don’t like sports.

That stereotype was in my head from a pretty young age.

If a kid told me and my friends that he didn’t like sports, well, it would at least cross our minds that he was gay.

So when I found out that a gay man in the NFL might be ready to come out to the public, according to Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com, I thought I must have heard wrong, because — supposedly — gay guys don’t like sports.

We can’t let another generation of children grow up thinking this way.

“If you look at our league, minorities aren’t very wellrepresented,” said John Amaechi, who came out to the public in 2007, three years after he retired from the NBA. “There’s hardly any Hispanic players, no Asian-Americans, so that there’s no openly gay players is no real surprise.”

There is no openly gay athlete in any of the four major American sports leagues, and only seven have come out after retiring from their league.

Multiple athletes, like baseball allstar Justin Verlander and Minnesota Vikings punter Chris Kluwe, have said that they would have no problem playing alongside a gay athlete. While there have been athletes who said that they wouldn’t play with a gay teammate, for the most part, those people were criticized by the media and other players within the league until they apologized.

The 2012 Campus Pride LGBTQ National College Athlete Report found that out of 4,351 male students surveyed, only 3 percent identified as gay, bisexual or questioning.

According to the same report, twice as many LGBT student-athletes said they had experienced offensive, hostile, exclusionary or intimidating conduct as their straight counterparts.

Not only that, but 25 percent of them said that they were pressured to stay silent about their sexuality.

Just like all hetereosexual men aren’t the same, all homosexual men aren’t the same. Just like I can cook and listen to the music from “Les Misérables,” a gay man can be a diehard sports fan and a stellar athlete.

Until there is an out-of-the-closet gay man playing in one of the major sports leagues, these stereotypes will never be fully eradicated.

It won’t be easy for the first player that comes out. People will hate him for something that he can’t control and can’t change. He will receive threats. He will be called names.

He will have to deal with the media and carry the weight of the LGBT community on his shoulders.

He will have to do all this because he have been chosen to be the Jackie Robinson of the LGBT community.

Just like Robinson was symbolic for the civil rights movement, this athlete will become symbolic for the gay rights movement. He will be a role model to thousands of children today, and to many more in the future.

Wade Davis, a gay man and retired NFL player, said, “I think the real issue is that the idea that a gay man could play sports is an attack to straight guys’ masculinity.”

Straight men will be forced to admit that a gay man can be better at sports than them. It might be tough for some of them to swallow, but in the end, it will redefine sexual identity as we know it.

Going through your life being told that you have to act a certain way or like certain things because of what sex you’re attracted to limits your potential.

It’s time for an openly gay man to play in one of the four major sports.

The LGBT community needs its Robinson.

Your views In response to “Stanford animal rights activists fail to beef up argument with comparison to civil rights movement” (by David Weissman, March 27): Someone needs to clue that man in... his pet is not “his little girl” unless he has some aberrant sexual proclivities. These people need to understand that our house pets ( dogs and cats mostly) are carnivores and that cats especially cannot live without the death of another animal.

To compare the raising of livestock with the civil rights movement shows disdain for those involved in the human civil rights movement and utter lack of respect for those involved as well.

POLICE BEAT

THE DAILY WILDCAT

MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Facebook feud

A former UA custodial employee’s threatening Facebook post regarding his sister was reported to police at 8 p.m. on March 24.

The message was posted on a UA-related Facebook page, and warned another employee not to “say anything to my sister again ... you fuck with my family and you will deal with me.� The post contained several other obscenities and slurs.

The man’s sister, who is a temporary UA employee, then liked the post.

The employee who reported the post told a University of Arizona Police Department officer that the woman had spoken with him the night before about a pair of keys she’d lost, but that he’d told her not to worry about them. He added that the conversation had been the only contact the two had during the roughly six months of the woman’s employment at the Student Union Memorial Center, and that she’s “quiet� and hadn’t been involved in any trouble in the past.

The man said he didn’t take the threat seriously, but did want UAPD officers to warn the former employee about his harassment. The man told police he would contact Allstaff Services and have both the brother and sister fired, for the post and subsequent “like.� Police were unable to contact the former employee, but did leave a voicemail for him.

The reporting man spoke with police again the following day, after the former employee left him a “ranting� voicemail and sent him two text messages, due to police trying to contact him.

Police documented the messages from the former employee and left him another voicemail telling him not to contact the man again.

The man said he did not want to pursue charges unless the harassment continued.

Piracy doesn’t pay

A non-UA affiliated man was arrested for possession of counterfeit DVDs and compact disks after driving with a suspended license on Campbell Avenue and Adams Street at 9 a.m. on March 25.

A UAPD officer was monitoring traffic when he observed a silver pickup truck going 13 mph over the speed limit and the driver not wearing a seatbelt.

The officer stopped the car. The man identified himself with a Mexican driver’s license. Due to the language barrier, the officer called another officer to assist.

A records check of the driver showed that his privilege to drive in Arizona had been suspended.

While speaking with the man, the officer noticed three cardboard boxes in the rear cab of his pickup. Upon inspection, the boxes were found to contain 100 DVDs and one Blu-ray Disc, all in plastic wrap, several of which were of titles that had not yet come out on DVD. The man was then booked into Pima County Jail on charges of counterfeit mark violation and driving with a suspended license.

Crowded union urges students to share tables Rachel McCluskey Arizona Daily Wildcat

Student union staff are working to improve the issues with seating in Pangea.

Most students have experienced that moment of despair after receiving food at the Student Union Memorial Center, when they realize that finding a seat is going to be impossible. Now staff are trying to help students by providing triangle table-toppers that students can flip around to signal to that others are welcome to share their table.

Pangea is trying out the table-toppers first to see how it works; if it goes well, Sabor will begin using them as well, said Todd Millay, marketing manager for Arizona Student Unions.

The green side of the table-topper lets others know it’s OK to sit at the table; the word “open” is written in large letters on the green side. If students flip the table-topper to the red side that reads “full,” others know not to sit down. The table-toppers were introduced right after spring break so that students would have something new when they came back, Millay added.

“We’re hoping over the course of a month, students will start to notice that we’ve put these up. I think right now they’re not quite noticing them,” Millay said. “And you know what, this is college, so we thought we would try to experiment to see if students would make a new friend and let somebody sit with them.”

Some students said they noticed the signs but didn’t use them.

“I noticed it,” said Jacquelyn Hinek, a psychology freshman. “But I figured even if I saw someone switch it up, I would still ask because maybe they didn’t notice it.”

Other students did use the table-topper to show that others were invited to sit down with them. Rebecca Peiffer, an undeclared freshman, flipped her table-topper to the green side, “mostly because I feel bad taking a whole booth for myself,” Peiffer said. “I feel like if other people want to sit here, why not?”

The idea originated as a way to solve the issue of the lack of seating at Pangea and Sabor. Part of the problem is that many of the employees are students, and it’s difficult for supervisors to tell

UA students can now signal that others can sit with them with the new table-toppers in Pangea.

employees to ask their fellow students to move, Millay said.

“The challenge of going to Sabor or going to Pangea is it’s just crowded; there are so many students and not enough seating,” Millay said.

“So one of the things that we’ve noticed by observing is that they’ll [students] be in the restaurants and plop their stuff down, throw their laptop up and they will take a four-top.

So they’re sitting at a booth by themselves and there are people that are trying to eat — so where do we sit them?”

Some students agreed that it is difficult to find seats around lunchtime.

“It is [hard to find seats]. When I first walked in, I was nervous because everything was full and I thought I was going to have to take it [my food] to go,” Hinek said.

If the idea fails, then the student union will just throw the signs away, Millay said.

“We’re just brainstorming, and this may or may not work,” Millay said. “We’ll be curious to find out.”

The UA’s “Greek Weekend” will celebrate and unify the Greek community during the first weekend of April.

All of Greek Life is excited for the events, said Jeremy Zilmer, the UA’s fraternity and sorority programs coordinator, in an email. The events kick off with a banner competition on April 1 and end on April 7 with a fundraising event for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital called Up ‘til Dawn.

Groups of four will compete in Greek Sing, Greek Olympics and the Knowledge Bowl to win points. The team with the most points will be announced in a ceremony on Sunday, and the champions will receive a trophy.

“It’s really about bringing a community together,” said Danielle Hannon, Greek Weekend chair and member of Delta Gamma sorority. “I think Greek Week is definitely a way to break chapters out of their comfort zone and mix them with chapters they may not necessarily be familiar with and learn their history. This week is about unifying the Greek community and bringing us together to support each other in every aspect and get close as a community.”

The Greek Sing event will take place on April

5 in Centennial Hall at 6 p.m., where individual chapters will perform to showcase their sorority or fraternity.

The next day, April 6, the Greek Olympics will take place on the UA Mall. The Knowledge Bowl will be held in the Social Sciences building later that day, at 5:30 p.m. Teams will be quizzed on Ancient Greek history, Greek history and UA Greek history. Teams will advance through their bracket by answering questions correctly.

“I’m excited for all the chapter members to compete for one common goal,” said Lexi Shinn, Greek Sing co-chair and member of Chi Omega sorority. “I think so many times [chapters] consider themselves one individual unit. I’m excited to come together as a closer community, rather than individual chapters.”

Members of Greek Life have expressed excitement about the fact that all the events were created through collaboration and organized so that all Greek Life members can participate and bond with each other.

“I’m most excited about getting to know other sorority and fraternity members that I haven’t gotten the chance to know that well,” said Doug Lostus, co-competition chair and member of Pi Kappa Alpha. “Usually you are just separated [from other Greek Life members], but now we get to come together.”

Spice up your lingerie this spring season Be daring with S&M-inspired pieces or go retro at local shops ALEXANDRA GIROUX Arizona Daily Wildcat

F

resh out of the shower, steam still rising from her skin, a socialite preparing for the evening’s festivities might reach into a drawer stuffed with sexy little things by various lingerie designers.

For the dedicated fashionista, it should be standard that even her undergarments match. For the rest of us, lingerie should simply be a way to feel sexy and confident.

For big spenders and more daring shoppers, a popular highend brand, Agent Provocateur, incorporates a tailor-made fusion of S&M and feminine pieces to spice up your average braand-seamlesspanties collection wasting away in an old armoire.

The brand’s undergarments manipulate the lines of the body by juxtaposing delicate lace with lustrous leather, showing the kinkier side of fashion in its new spring collection.

If you’re not ready to break the bank, try shopping local instead. Tucson may not be the fashion capital of the world (or even close), but it still has some decent shopping when it comes to risque items.

When shopping for lingerie, it is important to note functionality and price range.

The less adventurous may go to Victoria’s Secret or Target, while the more adventurous hop in the car and immediately

“

drive to Fascinations. These locations may be convenient for purchasing lingerie, but with its selection of more retro pieces, Desert Vintage on Fourth Avenue and Alice-Rae Intimate Apparel is worth a visit too.

While some embrace their inner sex kitten, others may be intimidated by the thought of unflattering dressing room mirrors and daunting shadows cast on the body by harsh overhead lights.

But purchasing naughtier items for special occasions isn’t much different from shopping for everyday clothing (albeit with slightly less coverage) — it is all about dressing for your body type.

Women who are apple-shaped should look for corsets to further showcase their assets. For pear-shaped women, bustiers are ideal to help direct the eyes over the curves of the body.

Those with a rectangular torso can try waist cinchers to help define their shape. Lastly, an hourglass-shaped woman can basically wear whatever her heart desires.

In any case, the nights when college girls imagine themselves as well-dressed socialites tend to end with their lingerie on the floor. Besides snapping a few bra clasps and slipping each leg into a lacy stocking, confidence is really all you need to try some new lingerie for spring.

Lingerie should simply be a way to feel sexy and confident.

UA dealing with ‘elite team’ in OSU kyle johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat

How sweet it’s been for the 6th-seeded Arizona men’s basketball team through March Madness, with two easy victories in Salt Lake City last weekend. The fun times are about to end, though, as the Wildcats face No. 2-seed Ohio State on Thursday at 4:47 p.m. in the Staples Center in Los Angeles for a chance to advance to the West regional finals. “[We’re] dealing with one of the elite teams in this country,” head coach Sean Miller said. “For us, we have to be at that level to beat them. We’ve done it … we know the level we have to play at to do it. I think we’re capable, but anything less than that I don’t believe will be good enough.”

Arizona (27-7, 12-6 Pac-12) has the neutral court advantage over OSU (28-7, 13-5 Big 10), playing just a seven-hour drive away in California. But this Sweet Sixteen matchup will come down to much more than the colors filling the seats (though red is a safe bet).

Containing Deshaun Thomas

play power forward too.

“He’s so different and unique as a player,” Miller said. “It’s hard to describe how he plays. On one hand, he’s such an incredible 3-point shooter, and on the other, he’s not small.

“He’s big and physical and can score around the basket. Every team has their hands full with him. That’s why Ohio State is who they are.”

Thomas’ dimensions are similar to those of small forward Solomon Hill, but Miller said it will take a full team effort to defend the First Team All-Big 10 forward.

Fortunately for the Wildcats, they have more than Hill to throw at Thomas.

Freshman forwards Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett will both get time guarding Thomas, with the hope that Ashley’s athleticism and Jerrett’s size can slow him down. But as Hill pointed out, a player with Thomas’ talent can’t be stopped, only contained.

“You’re not going to just shut out great players in the tournament,” Hill said. “I think the key would be to just not let him get comfortable and [not] let him get going.”

Thomas has scored in double-digits every game this season and only scored fewer than 16 points four times (Arizona’s top scorer, Mark Lyons, averages 15.4 per game).

“It really has to be a concerted effort as a team guarding [Thomas] because he sets so many ball screens, he’s such a great offensive player, he’s such an incredible 3-point shooter,” Miller said.

“We have to rotate to him and do a great job as a team … The thing that’s different about him is he’s too big and physical for guards to deal with.”

The outcome of the contest for most prolific offensive player on the court won’t be a question Thursday — it’s Ohio State’s junior Deshaun Thomas.

The 6-foot-7 small forward led the Big 10 in scoring (19.7 ppg), earning that spot with several different techniques.

Thomas can drain the ball from three (35.0 percent) and take it down to the post and even has a knack for getting to the free throw line — where he makes it 84.0 percent of the time.

Miller compared Thomas to another versatile scorer, UCLA’s Shabazz Much has been made of Arizona’s Muhammad. poor three-point defense all year, but But there’s one difference: Thomas can

Ohio State presents new challenge for untested Wildcats cameron moon Arizona Daily Wildcat

O

ne weekend into the NCAA tournament, and No. 6-seed Arizona is still alive.

The Wildcats were fortunate enough to face Belmont and Harvard in their first two games, not the suddenly prolific Florida Gulf Coast.

Arizona secured easy victories, winning its first two games by an average margin of 20 points.

This Sweet Sixteen trip, the 15th in school history, has looked remarkably less stressful than the last time Arizona went this far in the tournament.

“I can make the case that in our margin of victory, we have a lot of confidence right now,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said this week. “If you say we haven’t been tested, it’s more about the margin of victory than the fact of the competition.”

Not to discredit the Pac-12 conference, whose members gave Arizona all seven of its losses, but the conference tournament champion Oregon Ducks and the regular season champion UCLA Bruins are not as good as the Buckeyes.

OSU point guard Aaron Craft averaged 2.1 steals per game this season, tying for first in the Big 10 conference, while forward Deshaun Thomas averages 19.7 points per game, which leads the “nation’s best conference,” according to Miller, and Thomas has the ability to score in a myriad of ways.

“We will have to prepare well and it will be a team effort against [Thomas],” Miller said this week regarding who will be the main defender on Thomas.

This year’s Sweet Sixteen run is similar to that of the 2009 tournament, when the No. 12-seeded Wildcats upset Utah in the first round and beat Cleveland State in the second round, 71-57. In the Sweet Sixteen, however, a much-better Louisville team pounded them out of the tournament, 103-64.

SENIOR FORWARD Solomon Hill drives to the basket in last week’s win over Belmont.

74. Where the Buckeyes have an advantage, however, is in their defense, as well as the road they to travel to get to Staples Center this weekend.

Ohio State smacked Iona around in its first game, 95-70, but needed a game-winning 3-pointer by Craft to pull out a win over Iowa State on Sunday. Having to deal with a full 40-minute, back-and-forth affair with the Cyclones was no doubt trying for head coach Thad Matta and OSU, but it prepared them for tougher competition.

“We have to play a great game,” Miller said. “They are a two-seed, so I look at them as one of the top-eight teams in the country.

They have earned it. I think we’re capable, but anything less than that won’t be good enough.”

Arizona’s blowouts, though, have not prepared them well.

In the 2011 Sweet Sixteen trip, Arizona pulled out two close wins over Memphis and Texas before blowing out Duke.

Sure, Arizona lost in the Elite Eight to eventual champion UConn, but only by two points.

The experience of playing tough,

hard-fought games helped it cope with adversity as the competition grew in stature.

This postseason, the Wildcats were unable to shake the Bruins in the Pac-12 tournament semifinals, the toughest team they’ve faced since losing to Colorado on Feb. 14.

Arizona is about to get a big taste of the higher competition it’s been missing, and at just the right time.

If the Wildcats can slip past the Buckeyes, they will face the winner of LaSalle and Wichita State in the Elite Eight.

If the Wildcats can beat OSU, there is a chance — although I can’t call it realistic, given the nature of March Madness — that Arizona can advance to its fifth Final Four in school history.

It just has to get through the toughest competition it has faced since the 14-0 start to the season, including a one-point win over Florida in December.

Not to jinx it.

Long snapper position comes with anonymity LUKE DELLA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Long snapping isn’t the sexiest position on the football field, but that doesn’t make it any less important.

Arizona long snapper on place kicks Brian Chacon is entering his senior season, but most Wildcat fans have never heard of him, despite his status as a two-year letter-winner.

“If you’re a long snapper and people know your name, it probably means you’re not doing your job,” Chacon said.

A position that almost always goes unnoticed, the long snapper is involved in some of the most important parts of a game.

Last season, Arizona place kicker John Bonano was second on the team in scoring.

Bonano racked up 102 of the Wildcats’ 496 total points from made field goals and extra points. Bonano’s job would have been much more difficult if Chacon wasn’t there. “[A long snapper] is vital,” special teams coach Charlie Ragle said. “It can be the difference between winning KELSEE BECKER/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT a game and losing a game.

SOPHOMORE GUARD NICK JOHNSON shoots over a Washington defender in a win over the Huskies on Feb. 20.

Johnson and the Wildcats face Ohio State in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament today at 4:47 p.m. in Los Angeles.

the Wildcats’ own perimeter prowess has been lost in the shuffle.

Arizona hit 18-of-32 (56.3 percent) against Belmont and Harvard and is ranked 47th in the nation in 3-point efficiency (37.2 percent).

This even comes after some shooting swoons during Pac12 play.

“We hit a slump for about three weeks where we had certain players at the same time not making shots,” Miller said. “That’s part of why we finished second in the Pac12.”

The Wildcats shot 34.5 percent during their 18

conference games, placing them near the middle of the Pac-12. In comparison, during Arizona’s perfect nonconference run, it made 39.1 percent, a clip that would put it at No. 14, behind South Dakota State, in the rankings today.

This could become significant against the Buckeyes since 3-point shooting has been a big factor in three of Ohio State’s seven losses (Duke, Kansas and Michigan). In fact, teams have shot more than 9 percent better in wins (39.5) against OSU than in defeats (30.5).

With Lyons finally coming out of his slump (14-for-56

is the worst in the conference (.244).

Lopez said he was happy with how his pitchers performed last Friday and Saturday, and if that carries over into the Utah series, Arizona could finally see some Pac-12 success.

The same can’t be said about Arizona’s Sunday starter, freshman Cody Moffett (2-2, 3.96 ERA), and most of his bullpen’s performance.

Moffett was hit hard early in the game against Oregon and was eventually pulled by Lopez before recording an out in the third inning.

Lopez said this week in practice that Moffett could still be the Sunday starter, but for now that has yet to be decided.

in the nine games prior to the NCAA Tournament) and junior Jordin Mayes heating up (he’s hit seven of his last 12), the Wildcats could create some separation from the vaunted Buckeyes’ defense if their deep shots continue to fall.

“I think we got good shots, a lot of drive and kicks, open shots, people making one more pass,” guard Nick Johnson said about Arizona’s shooting in the NCAA Tournament. “I think everybody on our team knew that if we didn’t win, we were going home, our season was over. [We] just tried to focus in and knock down our shots.”

Even with one of the worst starts to the conference schedule under Lopez’s reign at the UA, third baseman Brandon Dixon said he isn’t concerned, as there are still 24 conference games remaining.

“We still have a long ways to go,” Dixon said.

“There’s no need to panic, especially when you have the talent we have.”

Usual Friday night ace Konner Wade (2-2, 4.14 ERA) will take the mound for the Wildcats on Thursday as they look to get back on track.

Lopez said he hopes the importance of playing with a tough mentality starts to sink in for his Arizona team, adding that they can’t expect to be thrown a bone for being the defending national champions.

“The reality of this conference is no one gives you anything,” Lopez said. “You got to earn it.”
