Busch: Even after battling the norovirus, Wildcats give ‘greatest performance’ By Derek Lawrence ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A week full of adversity came to an end for the Arizona men’s swim and dive team, finishing in third place at the NCAA Championships, in Columbus, Ohio. Third place wasn’t the expected result for the Wildcats, who came into the championships as the top-ranked team in the nation. But even after a contagious norovirus struck nine members of the team, UA head coach Frank Busch’s spirits weren’t dampened. “Awesome. Amazing is all I can say,” Busch said of the team’s finish under
the circumstances. “I couldn’t be more proud of this team. This is one of the greatest performances in the history of this program.” Senior swimmer Jordan Smith said that coming together as a team is the reason the Wildcats are satisfied with the weekend’s results. “We achieved something amazing by getting third in the NCAAs, and the way we did it was representative of what this team has been about all year,” Smith said. While the team was happy with its performance, members also understand that the result very easily could have been different.
GPSC begins election debates By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Current members and hopeful candidates of the UA Graduate and Professional Student Council gathered at the Auld Dubliner Irish Pub and Restaurant Friday to discuss the upcoming election. Among those present were 2010-11 GPSC presidential candidates Emily Connally and Mabel Crescioni and vice presidential candidates Alison Betts and Farah Sutton . Connally, a doctoral candidate in clinical psychology, has been on the council in the past and is running for president to help restore the working relationship between GPSC and UA’s administration. Connally cited rising fees and tuition costs, more interdisciplinary collaboration and keeping classes from growing larger to increase revenue as issues she would focus on as GPSC president. “I think students don’t realize the power they have to affect how the university runs, and how it affects them,” Connally said. Crescioni, a graduate student in the College of Public Health, has been on the council as a representative for her college for the past two years. Along with the ongoing fee and tuition issues, Crescioni stressed maintaining healthy ties with ASUA and addressing graduate student workloads as major
components of her platform. “My experience on the council has shown me the effect we can have on graduate student experience,” Crescioni said. Crescioni also discussed her position on fees and tuition. “Being a competitive research institution requires an investment in funds,” she said. “What we don’t have to accept is that the sole responsibility of bearing this burden lies with the student body. We have to find a balance between maintaining competitiveness and bearing the burden.” GPSC President David LopezNegrete asked both presidential candidates whether the UA should privatize some of its programs to spare them from

“It’s obvious that the sickness affected us pretty bad because we’ve been getting so much better every day, and I think if we were healthy we definitely would have been challenging for the title,” said senior Jean Basson. Less than a week ago, Arizona appeared to be on its way to winning its second national championship in three years. The team had everything going for it: an undefeated dual meet season, the most qualified swimmers of any NCAA team and a handful of past champions. Then came Tuesday. Late that night, nine UA swimmers were among the 19 people admitted
to the Ohio State University Medical Center with what seemed to be a gastrointestinal illness. It was later determined that the swimmers had contracted the highly contagious norovirus, forcing them to spend a night in the hospital before being released on Wednesday. The swimmers were given an extra day to recover after the start of the championships were pushed back to Friday at the request of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “After seeing how sick they were, I knew it was unlikely that they would
For the first time in U.S. history, patients with completely artificial hearts can be discharged from the hospital while waiting for a permanent heart, thanks to the efforts of UA alumni and the University Medical Center. Before, patients were landlocked by a 413-pound driver named “Big Blue.” Now, headed by UMC, a 13.5-pound portable Freedom driver received Food and Drug Administration approval for study through SynCardia, Inc. on Friday. The driver provides power to the artificial heart, allowing patients who need a new heart but might not make it through the average 144-day waiting period. This heart cannot be rejected by the body, unlike other transplants, and, if given, a portable driver can“let patients have the heart to walk a marathon,” according to Rodger Ford, CEO of SynCardia, Inc. “This is the breakthrough that allows people to live a normal life with an artificial heart,” Ford said of the technology, which took two years and $30 million to develop. Ford, an Eller College of Management alumnus, is one of many UA alumni and staff who worked with SynCardia, Inc. to develop this technology. “There’s truly a history that this has grown out of the University of Arizona,” said Richard Smith, the co-founder and chief technical officer for SynCardia, Inc.“It’s truly a UMC, U of A product.” Artificial hearts have had a long history at the UA, with the first transplant completed in 1985 by Dr. Jack Copeland at UMC.

Flying Club takes off
Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Ralph Rina, a certified flight instructor of 40 years, trains his student, Daniel Lamb, a media arts sophomore in training for a twin-engine license.
By Jennifer Koehmstedt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA Flying Club lets students fly in planes traveling at 200 mph to Eloy, Ariz. Of the four planes taken to Eloy, Daniel Lamb, a media arts sophomore, flew the 1960 Piper Aztec. Flying the five-passenger plane over Picacho Peak, eventually landing back at the Tucson Airport, Lamb said he joined the Flying Club in order to get more flying time. “(Flying) is something new every day. No two flights are the same, that’s what makes it so fun,”he said. Members of the club get more and cheaper flying time. Two UA professors and a flying instructor used their own personal planes so the club only had to rent one airplane. Retired professor Charles Curtis said providing a cheaper way to fly is important because the costs of learning to fly continue to increase. “When I was an undergraduate, I was learning to fly for $600, now it’s more like
$6,000,”he said. Flying Club President Judson Stuart, a management and information systems junior, said the Flying Club puts on two to three fly outs per semester. The club also goes on tours of airports, air traffic control towers and gives ground school training, which is the classroom portion of the training needed to get a pilot’s license, at cheaper rates. Stuart said these club activities were needed at the UA because the university does not have an aviation program or an air traffic control program. “Tucson has some of the best flying weather, but UA doesn’t have anything particular to aviation,”he said. While some students went on the fly out in order to get experience unavailable at the UA, Megan Folley, an aerospace engineering freshman, was using the flying time to supplement her engineering education. “If I’m going to be building planes in the future, I want firsthand experience,”she said. Folley, the only female club member

who attended the fly out, said being in the minority in the Flying Club and in aerospace engineering classes only made her want to pursue engineering and aviation more. “It motivates me to show that girls can do what guys can do, because (the profession) is male dominated,”she said. Folley, who does not have her pilot’s license, said she was excited to get stick time — time when a licensed pilot lets the passenger take control of the airplane. Stuart said the club mostly consists of licensed pilots, but members without licenses are always allowed to get stick time and receive informal training from the licensed pilots in the group. Standing in Eloy beneath the incoming parachuters, Eduardo Bendek, a second year doctoral student in optical sciences, said he always loved to fly, so joining the Flying Club was simple. “If you don’t want to spend the money to rent a plane or don’t have a license, it’s a good way to get out,”he said.

Dance junior If someone were to make a movie of your life, who would you pick to play you? Hmmm. Well, definitely someone super crazy and funny, but also who knows what’s going on in life, you know? Who would that be? Well, at first I would say maybe Sandra Bullock, but that’s probably too typical right now. So you aren’t into Oscar-winning actresses playing you? (Laughs.) I need someone more edgy. Come to think of it, Katherine Heigl wouldn’t be too bad. Plus, I think she could pull off red hair. Any other reasons Heigl would be the perfect fit? She’s quirky and has a good sense of humor. You know, not super serious. I mean, how many people could have their dress almost fall off on stage and be able to laugh it off? Good point. I know I would probably have turned and sprinted out of sight. Is there anyone else who you think could fill your shoes? Well … maybe Taylor Swift. Really? Oh yeah. (Sarcastic smirk.) She understands love so well. No, I’m completely joking. I do like some of her songs though. Yeah, they’re not too bad. So are you a country lover? No. Absolutely no. So where does Taylor Swift fall into that? Well, she’s the lesser side of country. Kind of like Shania Twain. That stuff isn’t too bad. What music do you like to listen to? A live pianist as I do tendus and plies. (Laughs.) No, sorry! Dance joke! I do like to listen to those Putumayo CDs. Putu-what what? It’s a company that travels around the world, and they collect music from all different countries. Sometimes the CD is devoted to a particular style of music, like one of my favorites is a CD of different swing songs. But, you know, I do love ’90s music. Can’t go wrong with a little Spice Girls in your life. That’s so true. So tell me what you want, what you really really want? Yes! Work! So, in the movie of your life, Katherine Heigl would play you and the soundtrack would be a mix of Putumayo and Spice Girls music? Hells yes. And maybe some Taylor Swift during the love scenes. —Dallas Williamson

First T. rex fossil from Southern Hemisphere found WASHINGTON — A foot-long piece of bone unearthed in Australia is the first evidence that ancestors of the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex once lived in the Southern Hemisphere. The remains are from an animal much smaller than the famed predator, but add to the knowledge of how this type of dinosaur evolved. The discovery is reported in Friday’s edition of the journal Science by a team of researchers led by Roger B. J. Benson of the department of earth science at England’s University of Cambridge.
“The new discovery tells us that 110 million years ago, in the middle of their history, tyrannosaurs were everywhere. So the question is, why did they achieve giant size as apex predators in the north, but dwindle away in the south?” Benson said in an interview via e-mail. Dinosaurs dominated the land for 170 million years, holding the place in the ecology that mammals do today, Benson explained. Learning about how species change and diversify, and about mass extinctions in the past, can help us understand modern threats, he said.
In addition, he said, learning about ancient creatures helps in understanding the evolution of modern animals. “For instance, in recent history paleontologists established that dinosaurs gave rise to birds. Prior to this, birds were a mystery,” Benson explained. “They have lots of distinctive features, feathers, warm-blood, air-filled bones, but there was no consensus on where they came from. Now we know, we can find out how they evolved. —The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Team Jacob was triumphant at the Kids’ Choice Awards. “Twilight” star Taylor Lautner picked up two orange, blimp-shaped trophies at Saturday’s 23rd annual shenanigan-packed Nickelodeon spectacle inside the University of California, Los Angeles’ Pauley Pavilion. Lautner snared the favorite actor honor for his “New Moon” role as hunky werewolf Jacob Black as well as the inaugural cutest couple award with his “Twilight” co-star Kristin Stewart. Taylor Lautner “I have to admit I have always dreamt of winning one of these orange blimps,” Lautner said. The fan-favorite ceremony’s host, “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” actor-comedian Kevin James, kicked off the show by performing a hip-hop dance routine as Adam Sandler serenaded him from above while dressed as an angel and fountains of green slime spontaneously gushed on the first few rows of the audience. James said more than 115 million votes were received this year. Katy Perry, wearing a bright blue wig and skintight flowery dress, was blasted with slime when presenting the favorite movie actress trophy to Miley Cyrus. The gooey “I Kissed a Girl” singer chased the “Hannah Montana” actress around the stage, but co-presenter Jonah Hill grabbed Perry before she could embrace the 17-year-old singer-actress with a slimy hug. “I can’t see anything,” complained Perry. “Why does it taste like boogers?” Other favorites included“Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” for movie, “Up” for animated movie, Jim Carrey for voice from an animated movie for “A Christmas Carol,” “Mario Kart” for video game, “iCarly” for TV show, “American Idol” for reality show, “SpongeBob SquarePants” for cartoon, Dylan Sprouse for TV actor and Selena Gomez for TV actress. “I’m the luckiest girl in the whole world,” said Gomez. In the music categories, the winners were Black Eyed Peas for music group, Jay-Z for male singer and Taylor Swift for female singer and song for “You Belong With Me.” Favorites in the sports categories were two-time Olympic gold medalist volleyball player Misty May Treanor for female athlete and 20-year-old skateboarder Ryan Sheckler for male athlete. “This goes right in the trophy case,” Sheckler said holding up his blimp. — The Associated Press

Symposium addresses Islam in media By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Renowned journalists shared their experiences and views on how Islam is represented in the media at a symposium: “Journalistic Representations of Islam: Visual and Print.� The symposium took place Friday and included talks from photojournalist Alexandra Avakian, journalist Nomi Morris and Mort Rosenblum, a UA professor in the School of Journalism. “My main clients have been The New York Times Magazine, Time Magazine, National Geographic, but also the mainstream German, British and French press,� Avakian said. “I was basically the first American photographer to be able to travel as widely and deeply in Iran since the revolution.� She shared her experience working in media as a photojournalist and discussed how one has to work within a publication’s “style.� Avakian showed the photos she took and compared them to how they were published in magazines. “One of my big desires is to leap across what divides us,� Avakian said. Avakian also discussed her own inspirations and what she hopes to show

through her work. Maggy Zanger, a UA associate professor of practice at the School of Journalism, thanked Avakian, calling the presentation “a visual treat.� Morris talked about the state of knowledge the American public has about Islam and addressed misconceptions about the media’s portrayal of Islam. She dissected the challenges in the construct of media and the problems journalists face working within it. Morris believes most journalists do not go in with an agenda, but are trying to do a job in a difficult media environment. “People are much too quick to presume bias when they don’t see their own views reflected in what they read,� Morris said. She stressed the importance of checking sources and being aware of where information originates. “Young people have a responsibility to educate themselves on how to become consumers of media,� Morris said, explaining that people should be checking the dates, links and agenda of the information they read. “They know what they are talking about,� said Mohammed Tamimi, a second language acquisitions and teaching doctoral student.
Tamimi said the presentations were deeply thought out and not just on the surface of the issues. “I was happy to hear Nomi (Morris) bring some perspective,� Zanger said. After Avakian and Morris spoke, a free lunch was provided and Rosenblum gave the keynote address. “Now everyone has an opinion,� Rosenblum said. “We have the impression that we are seeing these places more clearly.� Rosenblum’s address provided funny anecdotes about his time in the Middle East, but also took a more serious tone addressing the problems concerning the media. After the address, the symposium closed with a discussion and screening of the film “Reel Bad Arabs.� According to Christian Sinclair, assistant director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies, the symposium was sponsored by the Middle Eastern Studies program, the School of Journalism, and was supported in part by a grant from the Social Science Resource Council. The symposium is part of a larger series called “Understanding Islam: Bridging the Worlds of Academia and Journalism.�
VP candidates advocate on-site childcare for university employees
to those who can pay for it,� Crescioni said. “Arizona needs to shift (its) priorities to understand that higher education is not just a bottom-line cost, it’s something that can advance your society.� Connally, while agreeing with Crescioni’s sentiment, said privatization is not necessarily a bad thing. “I’m not entirely against going private,� Connally said. “If we did go private, it would allow us to ensure a better undergraduate class, and it would offer us a lot of opportunities we don’t currently have. In a lot of ways anyway, with the lack of support we receive financially from the state, we’re very close to being an ill-functioning private university anyway.� Both GPSC vice-presidential candidates also presented their platforms and answered questions from the audience Friday.
Betts, a graduate student in the College of Humanities, has served as GPSC’s chief of staff in the past. “Through all of my experiences I’ve learned a lot about how the university works,� Betts said. “This gives me the knowledge necessary to advocate the concerns of graduate students on campus.� Betts also stressed her concern with the UA’s lack of childcare for employees. “The University of Arizona is the only school in the Pac-10 that doesn’t provide on-site childcare for employees,� Betts said. “Health and childcare are big issues graduate students face. Trying to ensure the health and safety of their dependents shouldn’t force them to face astronomical costs.� Sutton, a higher education graduate student, also mentioned childcare as one of her top priorities. Sutton discussed
the importance of maintaining UA’s status as a top-tier research university. “We need to work tirelessly to maintain our level of academic excellence in a way that sustains our reputation as a university,� Sutton said. “A degree doesn’t mean much if your university’s reputation is not good.�

Google right to stop censoring Google.cn
he next time you pull up your Google browser or check your Gmail-hosted CatMail, consider how you’d feel if your search results were determined by what the government wanted you to see, or if your e-mail account was hacked because of your social activism. Don’t like that hypothetical? Be glad you’re not a Google user in China. Following a long timeline of threats, censorship and Gmail account-hacking, Google has decided to effectively withdraw from China by defying censorship regulations. Because Google is no longer following the Chinese government’s self-censorship guidelines, Google services will not be available to Internet used in China. This controversy brings the subject of censorship, intellectual liberty and transculturation to the top of our proverbial Google-search links list. The company has decided to stop censoring its Google.cn site in reaction to several events, including a series of cyber-attacks on the Gmail accounts of human rights activists that originated in China. On the official Google blog, Chief Legal Officer David Drummond posted this explanation: “Gmail accounts of dozens of human rights activists connected with China were being routinely accessed by third parties … these attacks and the surveillance they uncovered — combined with attempts over the last year to further limit free speech on the web in China including the persistent blocking of Web sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Docs and Blogger — had led us to conclude that we could no longer continue censoring our results on Google.cn.” Drummond also explained,“We very much hope that the Chinese government respects our decision, though we are well aware that it could at any time block access to our services.” A casual search on American Google.com will quickly reveal a myriad of ideas on what this means for the world community and the future of Internet liberty, but there is one consensus: The Google/China situation is bigger than just Google/China. Perhaps the most novel aspect of this controversy for American college students who use Google mostly to steal music and circumvent textbooks is that even outside of China there is not total Internet freedom. In a column that calls this situation the biggest revolution in information technology since Gutenberg, the Guardian’s Timothy Garton Ash argues that the current way in which information is supplied to us is determined by a combination of the state in which we live and the big companies on which we rely, like Google. He then states that while one approach would be a “radical libertarian option,” allowing everyone to see everything, the method for which we should aspire is for everyone to be able to see everything except for “that limited set of things that clear, explicit global rules specify should not be available.” From the perspective of a news organization that strives to bring the most information from every side of an issue to everyone who chooses to read it, total Internet freedom is the method to which we should aspire. To limit information is to limit intellectual liberty. As a free citizen, something so basic as what one reads on the Internet should be without restriction and without firewall. The reader should be free to determine what he or she does and does not read. Ash makes a strong point that it is somewhat the job of the state to enforce accepted normalcy, such as limiting access to jihadist propaganda, child pornography or bomb-making information. But the problem there is that there is no “set of clear, explicit global rules” that determine what should and should not be available. As the issue of China reveals most harshly, the Chinese government’s idea of what information should be available is quite different than the casual American conception. Of course there are always limitations to intellectual freedom, whether conscious and concentrated or not. Whether you think Google search results are determined by number of hits a site has or a bunker full of Freemasons in the basement of the White House, one must acknowledge that it is impossible for the limitations of information gathering methods to be entirely irrelevant. But governments and companies like Google should err on the side of greater liberty of information rather than less.

Why is it that the term “racist” can be thrown around so loosely on this campus? Is this not a community that promotes the development of diversified beliefs? Are we paying tuition out of our ears to be told that there is only one correct way to think? I’d like to think not. It seems to me that any display of a conservative belief is met with vicious contempt, not only by fellow students but our faculty! Are the dreams Martin Luther King Jr. fought and died for so easily forgotten?

On ‘ASUA denies PIRG funding,’ March 25
I’m glad that PIRG failed to get on the ballot. Students voted them down last year, and would again this year if they had to vote again. In addition, while some students may support what PIRG does, not every student necessarily does, and they shouldn’t have to go through a difficult refund process to get their money back. Finally, the proposed fee would have paid for lobbyists who would be spending most of their time away from campus. Why should students pay for lobbyists to lobby for issues students may not support? Besides, we have Arizona Students’ Association, and there is more student control in ASA than with PIRG. Anonymous PIRG students collected over 2,000 petition signatures in two days. They needed 1,850 to make the March 9 ballot. Due to poor instructions from the elections commisioner, over 300 signatures
were voided due to the use of Catcard identification instead of the student ID number. Students for AZ PIRG did not fail, this system failed them. They were then instructed to collect 3,700 petition signatures in three school days. Unfortunately, they voided the use of the near 2000 they already had collected and made them start collecting petition signatures from the beginning, which ultimately failed to happen due to the defeated feeling so many members felt after being let down by the system. This ASUA vote is bad news for the members involved, making them continue to swim against the current. PIRG cannot be successful without Senate support — their opinion yesterday is a huge setback for PIRG. The campus wants to see PIRG advocate for the things they know how to change: global warming, hunger and homelessness, higher education and public transportation, but now PIRG is forced to continue to advocate for the formation of a PIRG chapter and not much else. Anonymous “The campus wants to see PIRG advocate for the things they know how to change.” This must be news to “the campus,” which voted against such a fee just last year, on a ballot question skewed heavily in PIRG’s favor. Of course, when such “mistaken information” and “poor instructions” were transmitted from the elections commission to students, there were no complaints from the organization that stood to benefit. Now that PIRG finds itself being hurt rather than helped by the commission, a cry is heard: “Injustice!” John D. Although PIRG offers some beneficial things to campus, their activities and initiatives are redundant in nature to many things already occurring on-campus, for example ASA, Students for Sustainability, Social Justice League, etc. Additionally, there are plenty of chapters that function with the use of outside funding, i.e. grants, etc. Lastly, they are a recognized club on campus, and as such, they are eligible for the over $150,000 of club funding that ASUA already provides. Though this is a setback for the organization, there are plenty of other avenues available to them and as is evident by their persistence, they won’t be going anywhere. I would rather them focus on advocating and working toward their mission, rather than battling student governmental bureaucracy. Anonymous

“brave” when she wears a loudly-colored dress. Americans are so entrenched in the muck of which “actress” is sleeping with which athlete that they fail to consider either poetry or politics as very important, to the detriment to our culture and our consideration of others. Why are we so en-mucked? Most people in the U.S. are free to do nearly anything without fear of a death threat, and yet the culture focuses on young alcoholics from New Jersey who are effectively illiterate in comparison to Hilal. That it generates good poetry is hardy a justification for limiting freedom, but there is a corollary between societies who are socially repressed and the creation of good and brave art. Like Anna Akhmatova in Soviet Russia, Hilal expressed her opinion through poetry, presenting a critique of particular extreme clerics with beauty and grace. She will be targeted for her actions, shouldering threats on her family and her life as a result of her strong, decisive statements. In America, political commentators have almost nothing to fear, and yet the arguments they make are nowhere near as eloquent as Hilal’s words, even in translation. Popular art, too, is characterized by making money and being shiny far more than it is about promoting art or furthering liberty. Perhaps the relative freedom of the U.S. has dulled our capacity for beauty and bravery and replaced it with a capacity for gym/tan/laundry. Perhaps
Americans think they have nothing about which to be brave. But the fact remains that while American poets are largely marginalized, a country like Saudi Arabia that most Americans view as extremely repressed has a television show in which one may earn millions of dollars for poetry. There is no corollary to Hilal in American culture. Rather than the brave and eloquent, American culture values the young and the irresponsible. More freedom should not make us more stupid. Americans have to remember the American cocoon of (relative) safety does not nullify our ability to be eloquent, socially piercing or politically active. Just because speaking out against the government in the U.S. doesn’t make you as much of a badass as you would be in other places does not mean you should refrain from political life. Hilal has said, “My message to those who hear me is love, compassion and peace.” Rather than bedazzling that phrase on the backside of a tracksuit, Americans would do well to consider the lesson about freedom we can learn from a Muslim poet/activist/housewife in Saudi Arabia who is not even granted the liberty of showing her face. — Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English.

Fewer residence hall evictions in fall 2009 By Laura E. Donovan Arizona Daily Wildcat Fewer students were evicted from the residence halls in fall 2009 than the previous two years. In fall 2009, 27 students were evicted, two students fewer than during fall 2008, according to Sarah Casares, coordinator of student behavioral education for Residence Life. The most common reasons for eviction in fall 2009 were drug use, alcohol violations and endangerment. Of the 27 evicted in fall 2009, nine students did not have previous incidents, warnings or write-ups before the eviction, and 18 students had been involved in previous incidents. “With the 18 students who had prior violations, it shows they didn’t learn from their mistakes,� said Jim Van Arsdel, assistant vice president of Residence Life and sole media relations representative. Van Arsdel is one of the few Residence Life officials with the authority to speak to the media, so community directors and residence assistants were unable to comment. Residence Life employees work to help students stay in the dorms according to Van Arsdel. “We don’t want to be the people who say, ‘This person gets to stay, and this person has to go,’�Van Arsdel said. “We really try hard to keep students in the halls. We try to provide an environment in which students can go out and make mistakes as long as they’re not really, really big ones.� Last semester, there were thousands of students who had broken policy violations, Van Arsdel said. “If we look at 27 evictions (of fall 2009 semester) as a percentage of the total number of policy violations, it’s actually a very, very
small number,� Van Arsdel said. “And that’s as it should be. We shouldn’t have some huge number.� Of the 22 residence halls on campus, Casares could not specify which halls the residents had been living in at the time of their eviction. “Our system removes their residence hall address after they check out,� Casares said. The eviction count in fall 2006 was 44, and in fall 2007, there were 14 evictions. “Residence life takes an educational approach to student behavior and conduct, and when student actions are not in line with community standards, we follow set sanctions to address that behavior,� Casares said. Students are informed of policies and procedures when they check into halls and are expected to know and follow such policies when they live in the system, Casares said. “In our world, kicking out someone is the most extreme thing that we can do,�Van Arsdel said. “It’s also something that if we do it, we lose all future opportunity to have an impact on that student, and everyone in Residence Life is in it to have an impact. Losing that opportunity is seen as cause for grief.� Evictions take place on a case-by-case basis, Van Arsdel said. Staff and students determine when reading the incident reports whether a student truly is responsible for something or not. “If and only if they are found responsible, we come up with what an appropriate sanction should be,�Van Arsdel said. Appropriateness can have a lot of definitions, he added. “In my mind, appropriateness usually has to do with the number of prior violations that might have occurred, the kinds of violations that might have occurred, the kind of violation

that this is,�Van Arsdel said. Residence Life’s goal is to stop behavior that’s inconsistent with policies, Van Arsdel said. “Something as simple as someone being a little too loud, well, life goes on,� Van Arsdel said. “I worry more about alcohol, which is the number one problem most schools have. I worry a whole lot more about assault, weapons, other drugs and safety violations.� Family and consumer sciences sophomore Angela Palomer has a mixed view on residence hall evictions.
“It really depends on the situation,� Palomer said. “I’ve known students who were kicked out of the dorms for drug use, and that makes sense because they would get in trouble for that in the real world. If it’s something the real world wouldn’t accept, then dorm residents should suffer the consequences accordingly.� Residents are given a physical copy of the Community Living Guide when they move into the residence halls.

policebeat By Bridgette Doran Arizona Daily Wildcat
Man poops pants to resist arrest
A University of Arizona Police Department officer performed a traffic stop on Wednesday at 9:57 p.m. after a random registration check showed the car owner had a warrant from Tucson Police Department. When the officer pulled the car over, the driver got out and started walking toward the officer. The officer asked the man for identification and he walked back to the driver’s seat, got in the car, sat down and said that he would not give his information and that he did not recognize “illegal government authority.� The officer told the man that if he did not give his information he would be arrested. The man became upset and threw his car keys onto the floorboard. He then gave the officer a paper, saying it was an international driver’s license from the Pembina Indian Tribe of North Dakota. As the officer was doing a records check on the license, the man shut the car door and locked both the driver’s side and passenger side doors. The records check showed that the license was suspended and there was a warrant for his arrest from TPD. Another UAPD officer arrived to the scene and both officers tried to convince the man to unlock the doors and get out of the car. The officer was able to open the passenger side door and the man said he understood he was under arrest, but would not assist the officers in his own arrest. Once the driver side door was unlocked the man went limp and said that he would have to be carried out of the car. The man was taken from the car, handcuffed and carried to the patrol car. On the way to the Pima County Jail, the officer could smell an odor coming from the backseat and rolled down his window. The man began to laugh when he rolled the window down and said he knew what the smell was. He told the officer that he defecated in his pants “as an added surprise� for the officer and “to further show it as a means of resistance for being arrested.� When they arrived to the jail the man said he would not walk into the jail and it would be an embarrassment for him to be placed in jail after defecating on himself. The jail staff was able to convince the man to walk into the jail and he said that he could not believe he was assisting his own arrest. The man was booked into the jail for the suspended license and the warrant. His car was impounded.
Truck stolen; CDs gone too
A man called UAPD on Wednesday at 5 p.m. after he saw that his car had been stolen. The man told an officer that he parked his dad’s 1995 red Ford pickup truck in the lot at 445 N. Warren Ave. at 9:30 a.m. and when he returned seven-and-a-half hours later it was gone. The truck had a California license plate on it and the man said inside there were 150 compact discs worth $10 per disk. There was no evidence left at the scene and the man did not have any suspect information for the officer. The information for the truck was entered into the National Crime Information Center and victim’s rights were issued to the owner of the truck.
Jacked pack worth hundreds
A UA student called UAPD on Wednesday at 3:35 p.m. to report her backpack had been stolen. The woman told an officer that she had set her blue and green Timbuktu messenger backpack in front of the cactus garden at the Student Union Memorial Center. She had set the bag on a bench in front of the garden at 2:45 p.m. and when she returned to check on it at 3:15 p.m. she saw that it was gone. Inside the backpack was an Italian textbook worth $200, a black Apple iPod worth $300, Bose earphones worth $100, an Apple iClick worth $35, a keychain with five keys on it and a garage door opener. The bag itself was worth $80. There were no witnesses to the theft.
Could I get a job ‌ ?
A UAPD officer was sent to the UA Continuing Education Outreach building at 888 N. Euclid Ave. on Wednesday at 10:36 a.m. after it was reported a man was stumbling and acting confused. When the officer arrived to the building he found a man that was unable to stand up, slurring his speech and not making sense when he spoke. After being identified by an Arizona driver’s license, the man told the officer that he was on medication for seizures. A records check showed that the man had a warrant for his arrest from Tucson Police Department for trespassing and a warrant from the sheriff’s department for writing a bad check. An employee in the building told the officer that the man was walking around the third floor not making sense and stumbling over. When the man tried to get access to a fire extinguisher, the employees sat him down and called the police. The man said he was in the building to apply for a job. The man was transported to and booked into Pima County Jail.

Mortar Board cleans up UA neighborhoods By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Eager students gathered at the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building early Friday to help clean up neighborhoods near the UA. The UA Mortar Board, a national student honor society, teamed up with University Medical Center and other sponsors for this event and to promote philanthropy. Senior Ben Alter, Mortar Board member and coordinator of the event, said the purpose of Saturday’s clean up was to,“Give backtothecommunity,specifically surrounding neighbors by doing landscaping and general trash clean-up. We want to improve the overall appearance of the neighborhood.” The event, which invited all UA students to participate, began in the AME courtyard at 8 a.m. A light breakfast was served and T-shirts were given to volunteers. Student groups were assigned many different areas to clean.

continued from page 1
Neighborhoods included North University, Feldman’s, Jefferson Park, El Cortez Heights, Rincon Heights, Northwest and Pie Allen. This was the third year the Mortar Board and Neighborhood Associations have worked together, Alter said. He said he hopes this will help establish better relationships between the neighborhoods and the university. “There is an ongoing struggle to ease tensions between rowdy students and the calm residents in the neighborhoods,”Alter said. Diana Lett, the vice president of the Feldman’s Neighborhood Association, says, “With a very (large) percentage of the neighborhood being student renters, we don’t have a problem with 85 percent of them.” As for the remaining 15 percent, she added, “It’s an unfortunate issue.” Armed with shovels, rakes and other tools discounted by and donated from Lowe’s Home Improvement, students
took to pulling weeds, cutting grass and throwing out trash. “The Mortar Board efforts focused on a couple of specific properties of people who can’t care for them on their own,”Lett said. There were three collection sites throughout Feldman’s where cleaners could drop off garbage bags, pruned tree limbs and other waste. Several student organizations participated. “I heard about the project from my chapter meeting,” said freshman Jamie Dickinson, member of Alpha Epsilon Pi. According to Dickinson, philanthropy is a mandatory part of fraternity membership. “As brothers, community service is something we are supposed to do,” he said. Throughout the three-hour clean up, members of the community were seen loading up wheelbarrows and putting in the effort to keep up the aesthetic of their neighborhoods. “UA is beautiful, and we want to keep it clean,”Dickinson said.
New device to help patients who ‘would have died’
to be leaders in artificial heart development. Ford said members of the 40-person SynCardia staff were crying as the news came in through an e-mail last Friday. “We’re a small company with a lot of heart,” Ford said. “(The study) is a big thing. It means a lot of jobs, a lot of growth for the company.” The FDA study is focusing on the ease of using the driver in day-to-day activity, since the driver has already been tested and proven to work. “Instead of them waiting three months to get a transplant, if we can get them out of the hospital for two weeks, the rest of those days are not expensive,” Smith said. “A patient doesn’t want to stay in the hospital, especially if they feel well … because they are as well as you and I.” Although the total costs of the transplant, surgery and driver usually total more than $100,000, most is covered by insurance, said Don Isaacs, vice president of communications at SynCardia, Inc. The company is confident that the FDA study will go smoothly after successful test runs of the driver in Germany since 2004, and the implant of their 850th artificial heart in Moscow on March 23, Isaacs said. SynCardia, Inc. and UMC are hopeful that with successful completion of the study, this driver can be mass marketed around the country, providing a lower cost and a more comfortable option for patients. “And none of this would have been possible without Dr. Jack Copeland and the University Medical Center,” Isaacs said. Smith, who has worked with the company for
several years, echoed Isaacs’ sentiment. “It should help patients who either would have died or gotten suboptimal therapy,” Smith said. “This levels the playing field and provides a much safer avenue for them.” Ford, who invested money in the company before becoming CEO, feels that his education at the UA helped him and many others at SynCardia, Inc. make this important breakthrough. “There are many, many people who die with a broken heart,” Ford said. “They don’t have to die anymore.”

Q
I lost my virginity to my best guy friend and we’ve been having sex with each other the past 3 months. We are attracted to one another and it isn’t stopping either of us from going out, meeting other people, and what not. I don’t know if this is ever going to lead to a relationship, but in the meantime, is what we are doing healthy for our friendship, even if we are both able to put emotions aside?
A. A healthy friendship is one where both people have open, honest, communication, respect for each other, and are willing to “be there” for their friend. Having sex with your best friend might be considered a benefit for some and a complication for others. “Friends With Benefits” can work out as long as both people are honest, understanding, and have the same expectations. Right now, it sounds as though you are satisfied with the situation and are both in it for the sex and not a long term relationship. As long as you are both happy with the arrangement and emotions are not an issue, you may be able to manage a “healthy relationship.” Some things to ask yourself as time goes on: How open is your communication? How will your friendship change if one of you wanted to stop having sex? Would he still be a supportive friend you can count on if the sex ends or you develop a more serious
relationship with someone else? Would you feel hurt or jealous if he decides to stop having sex with you? People change over time and so do relationships. One of you might develop a liking, even love, for the other. If the feelings aren’t reciprocated, one partner can end up feeling wounded or used. Emotions are an unavoidable part of being human and will eventually surface in any relationship. In terms of sexual health, you both may have a greater exposure to sexually transmitted diseases if you are doing “what not” with other people. You may feel safer with your friend because you’ve known him awhile. Having a sex buddy doesn’t guarantee risk-free sex. If he has several other sex partners, you may be unknowingly exposed to sexually transmitted infections such as herpes, chlamydia, genital warts, and more.

solidifies despite loss As Pac-10 play begins, UA takes 2 of 3 from Ducks By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
A wind-aided fly ball off the bat of an Oregon hitter drifted over the right field fence Sunday to snap Arizona baseball’s 15-game winning streak. Despite the loss, head coach Andy Lopez said the Wildcats did exactly what they needed to do to be successful in Pacific 10 Conference play — win two out of three games. With Arizona’s 25-game homestand coming to an end Sunday, the team learned to watch for several things as it prepares to hit the road this week.

Sunday loss leaves sour taste after otherwise successful weekend By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As sophomore right fielder Steve Selsky backpedaled toward the warning track with two outs in the top of the ninth inning against Oregon Sunday, the Arizona baseball team appeared to be on its way to its 16th consecutive win, capping off a threegame sweep of the Ducks (18-8, 1-2 Pac-10) during the first weekend of Pacific 10 Conference play. But on a windy day at Sancet Stadium, the ball sailed just inches over the right-field fence, lifting Oregon over Arizona (20-5, 2-1 Pac10), 9-8, for the Wildcats’ first loss since March 6, cutting them one game shy of tying their longest winning streak since Andy Lopez became head coach in 2002. “I actually thought the game was over because I thought I was going to catch it,” Selsky said after the Sunday game. “The wind was blowing; it was gusting a little bit.

Nic Wise Ex-UA basketball player
Wise arrested on suspended license Nic Wise, the former Arizona men’s basketball player, was taken into custody Friday night for driving with a suspended license, University of Arizona Police Department Sgt. Juan Alvarez told the Arizona Daily Star. The point guard was pulled over for having a suspended registration around 11:30 p.m. at North Vine Avenue and East Adams Street. Wise was arrested after records showed a warrant issued from the Pima County Justice Court for driving with a suspended license prior to Friday, Alvarez told the Star. He was booked into the Pima County Jail and later released.
Football springs back into action With two weeks before its Spring Game on April 12, the Arizona football team completed another one of its 15 allowed sessions with a scrimmage at Arizona Stadium on
Saturday. The Wildcat offense put up 24 first downs and a combined 400 yards off offense with junior quarterbacks Nick Foles, Matt Scott and Bryson Beirne going 30-for-35 in passes. Foles and Scott both had touchdowns in the 90-play session. For the running backs, Daniel Jenkins, Taimi Tutogi, Kylan Butler and Travis Cobb all saw action. Jenkins led with 91 yards and a score. Running back Nic Grigsby was still sidelined but ran conditioning drills with strength coach Corey Edmond. The defense, which will have to replace seven starters in the fall, was able to contain the offense at the beginning of the scrimmage. They stopped three drives before Scott lead the offense into the endzone. Foles’ sprained ankle, which he suffered more than a week ago, did not appear to bother him. Offensive guard Chris Putton and defensive tackle Jonathan Hollins both apparently sprained their knee and had to leave the field. The defense had six total sacks, led by seniors Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore with two sacks apiece. The defense also forced a fumble by junior receiver Gino Crump that was returned for 12 yards by Adam Hall. Three former Wildcats also took the field for their pro days. Tight end Rob Gronkowski, H-Back Chris Gronkowski and cornerback Devin Ross performed in front of 28 NFL teams. Rob Gronkowski, who did not play in the 2009 season because of back injuries, ran the 40-yard dash with an unofficial time of 4.72. — Arizona Daily Wildcat
the best pitching staff in the Pac-10 heading into the series. Their Sunday starter, Alex Keudell, entered the game No. 1 in the conference in ERA (1.10) through four starts, but the Wildcats blasted him for 11 hits and eight earned runs in five innings before giving the game away in the ninth. Oregon’s Friday-night starter, Tyler Anderson, came into the Friday game third in the Pac-10 in ERA (1.60), but the sophomore lefty couldn’t get more than five UA hitters out, as Arizona blasted him for six runs in 1 2/3 innings of work. The Wildcat bats were connecting early in Friday’s game, and when you give Arizona freshman pitcher Kurt Heyer a quick 6-0 lead, you can almost pencil in a ‘W.’ Heyer allowed only two runs in six innings of work while striking out five, and a 14-for-33 day at the plate propelled the Wildcats to a 9-3 victory. The Arizona hitters, as they have BASEBALL, page 12
Lopez had shuffled through different combinations of starting pitchers this year before he reached what looks like an answer to his weekend rotation. Freshman Kurt Heyer has been the anchor all year, turning in another solid performance in Friday’s win over Oregon by turning in six innings of work and allowing just one run to go with five strikeouts. “Kurt Heyer is just unbelievable,” said sophomore catcher Jett Bandy. “We come out here for early (batting practice) at 1:30 and he’s out here at the same time or even before us just doing dry work and just doing different stuff to make himself better, and that’s what we need out of a Friday night guy.” It looks like sophomores Bryce Bandilla and Kyle Simon will get the nods on Saturday and Sunday. Bandilla has fully transitioned into a starter after beginning the year as the closer, and on Saturday tossed a career-high 6 1/3 innings of one-run baseball to further make the case that he belongs in the rotation. Simon struggled early in the year but has responded, and it appears that he’ll be the team’s Sunday starter. His experience and ability to induce ground balls makes Simon a solid No. 3. “I was happy with him,” Lopez said NOTES, page 12
Gymcats thrill home crowd Arizona earns fourth in Pac-10 championships By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona gymnastics team quieted all doubters with its performance during the Pacific 10 Conference Championships, gaining momentum for the NCAA Regional competition on the horizon. The No. 23 Gymcats’ score of 195.900 was enough to earn them fourth place at the competitive conference. They were unable to catch No. 3 UCLA, No. 6 Stanford and No. 7 Oregon State, all of which had dominant performances. “We keep growing, and we keep getting better,” said head coach Bill Ryden.“It shows that we can compete with teams that are ranked very highly. We are not afraid of teams ranked very highly. “Now we are going to the postseason and it’s new life, so it’s like, bring it on.” Through two events, the Gymcats had second place secured, but it slipped away with convincing performances from Stanford and Oregon State down the stretch. Coming out strong in the vault, the Gymcats’ first event of the night after they spent the first rotation on their bye, they earned a 49.050. It was a solid beginning to reach their goal all season: hit 49 on all of their events. Another goal the Gymcats were GYMCATS, page 10

Softball blows past UNM By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A windstorm, an ejection and a blowout — in a diverse, three-game weekend series, the Arizona softball team swept the University of New Mexico by scoring 32 runs while only giving up two. Capped by Sunday’s Game 3 which saw Arizona (28-3) freshman pitcher Kenzie Fowler (18-2) throw her second no-hitter of the year and the offense blow through UNM pitchers for 14 runs, the weekend also included an 8-0 Friday win in freezing wind and a 10-2 Saturday victory in which UA head coach Mike Candrea got ejected for arguing with the umpire.“We overmatched New Mexico,” Candrea said. “They didn’t have really any pitching. We did what we needed to do, which was win, put some runs on the board (and) play good defense.” Catcher Stacie Chambers led the charge in the second game, drilling a pair of home runs after the Wildcats fell behind 1-0 to the Lobos (10-19) in the first inning. That was a result of the first base umpire calling pitcher Sarah Akamine (10-1) for four illegal pitches, three of which resulted in balks. According to the umpire, Akamine was taking her foot off the rubber, Chambers said, leading to Candrea’s frustration and eventual ejection. “She’s never been called on that in four years,” Chambers said. “As soon as the umpire started being rude to (Candrea) … I mean, coach doesn’t back down. He’s going to fight it.” With Candrea gone, the Wildcats’ deficit was short-lived. They rolled to the 10-2 victory behind home runs by Chambers, designated player Lini Koria and first baseman Alicia Banks. With usual first base starter Baillie Kirker missing the SOFTBALL, page 12

Arizona club rugby player Sergey Pittman grabs hold of a Washington player during the Wildcats’ 63-7 victory against the Huskies at Rincon Vista Sports Complex on Saturday.
Farewell to the pitch Rugby seniors finish regular season By Jaime Valenzuela ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Senior members of the Arizona men’s rugby team said farewell to their home pitch in Tucson over the weekend and made time to defeat the Washington Huskies 63-7. In the final regular season game at the Rincon Vista Sports Complex, the team scored 11 tries and had eight different try scorers. Senior fullback Tim Moxness touched down two times in his final home game and looked back on his time in the program. “It’s bittersweet,” Moxness said. “I’m sad to leave the program. After four years, my body is pretty beat up, but it’s been a lot of fun.”
“(My teammates) are like my brothers,” he added. “(They’re) who I hang out with on weekend. It’s like a family.” Head coach Dave Sitton introduced the senior members of the team before the start of the game, with some exceptions. Players who have another year of eligibility were not introduced in hopes of enticing them to come back for another season. “I wish I could talk all (the seniors) into staying a fifth year,” said Sitton, “but they had a banner day on their last day here. (The team) deserves to feel good about what they did.” The Wildcats took a quick 7-0 lead as senior wing Brett Moore started RUGBY, page 10

senior day with a try five minutes into the game, and senior wingman Mike Getzler connected on the ensuing field goal. After two more tries, which included another from Moore, the Wildcats took a 19-0 lead as Getzler connected on one of two field goals following the tries. Part of the team’s success throughout the first half came in their ability to pass the ball from one player to another quickly and accurately. “What the players have developed amongst themselves is a confidence in running their fast break,� Sitton said. “We don’t want to take the ball from tackle. Some teams do, but we want to keep it in hand. Some of the scores we had (included) about five or six passes, and we love that.� Sitton said his team wasn’t running their fast

break earlier in the season, but by doing it now, they are much more successful. After two more tries, including one from Moxness, and two more field goals from Getzler, the Wildcats held a 33-0 lead by half time. In the second half, Arizona added six more tries, the last coming by senior flanker Sergey Pitman in the final minutes of the second half. Arizona did not add any more field goals. Junior wing David Bertoldi also touched down twice along with seniors Moxness and Moore. Senior eight Patrick Canterbury also played in his final home game and said there were a lot of positives to take from the game. He also spoke of the friendships he built while in the program. “The guys I’ve met and played with are all
be at full strength when the events started,� Busch said at the time. The virus led to a tough few days for the team. “We weren’t allowed to swim. We couldn’t really eat, so it was all about just taking in fluids, trying to rest and trying to get our strength back,�said Basson, TIRESwho had the norovirus. While the UA wasn’t able to win the FROM team national championship, two UA swimmers were able to dive past the norovirus and take home individual national championships. Senior Clark Burckle ended his collegiate swimming career on a high note by winning the 200-yard breaststroke national championship with a time of 1:53.19. Burckle’s performance, however, was topped by fellow Kentucky native, sophomore Cory Chitwood, who set a new pool record at McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion in the 200y backstroke, winning with a time of 1:39.29. Chitwood also placed first in the consolation heat of the 100y backstroke with a time of 45.77. The 400y individual was a big pointscoring race for the team. Senior Jack Brown placed fourth and sophomore Austen Thompson won the consolation heat at 3:42.37. Brown also won the consolation
heat of the 200y individual medley. The team got off to a slow start by finishing in sixth place after Day 1, but on Day 2 the Wildcats made the jump to third place. Basson started the meet off by coming up just short of repeating as national champion in the 500y freestyle finals. Basson barely qualified into the championship heat and then was as far back as sixth early in the race. He began to move up and even caught up to the leader, Florida’s Conor Dwyer. EA to the end with The race came down right Basson finishing second, only a fraction of a second behind Dwyer. “I wanted to win that race so bad,�Basson said.“I know I’m one of the best to ever swim that race and I was the defending champ. It really hurt to lose that and I don’t want to use being sick as an excuse, but I know I would’ve been a few seconds faster than that had my preparation gone smoothly.� While Basson didn’t want to fully blame the outcome of the race on being sick, he believes that it did play a factor. “I can say personally that it did for sure. I didn’t feel like myself the whole meet,� he said. “My swims took so much more out of me than I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve never been this tired during a meet before.�

Later in the 200y freestyle finals, Basson finished eighth, which was good enough to make him an All-American for the fourth consecutive year. The team had some success in relay events, but not nearly as strong overall as usual. The UA’s top relay finish was third in the 800y free relay when the group of Brown, Basson, sophomore Nimrod Shapira Bar-Or and senior Joel Greenshields recorded a time of 6:18.33. The UA also placed fifth in the 200y medley relay with the team of Smith, senior Bryan O’Connor, redshirt junior Marcus Titus and sophomore Adam Small. Junior diver Ben Grado scored some points for the team with a sixth place finish in the 3-meter event. Grado’s appearance in the championship heat was the first time in eight years that the team had a diver in the heat. While the Wildcats are leaving Columbus without a national championship, they are leaving with their heads held high. “We can’t be disappointed with how we performed here.

The team can now look forward to college rugby’s Sweet 16. Arizona is seeded No. 8 and will play No. 9 seed Syracuse on Friday, April 16 at University of California, Santa Barbara’s Harder Stadium. “I think they’re pretty jacked up (about playing in the Sweet 16),�Sitton said.“There’s a great opportunity to get in the round of eight.

It was a great way to end McKale.� Sophomore Deanna Graham put up a spectacular performance on vault, earning a 9.875 which was good enough for third place in the event. Graham was the lone Gymcat to place in an event Saturday. Along with the strong performances, the Gymcats also relished the opportunity to host the Pac-10 Championships. “It was really awesome just to hear every chant and stuff. We have never had that before,� Graham said. “After your routine and after you salute, you look up and see everyone cheering. It’s something really amazing, something I have never witnessed here before.�

But they came out like battle-tested veterans. “It was really exciting, it was a lot of fun,� said freshman Aubree Cristello. “It was really good that we all hit 24-for-24. It was a really good experience.� Cristello, along with fellow freshman Molly Quirk, competed in the all-around, not an easy task for anyone. “I really want to do (well) for my teammates,� Cristello said. “We have worked so hard in the gym that I didn’t want to hold back at all.�

like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done it for a weekend. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing it for four or five weeks now.â&#x20AC;? Arizona was able to sustain the offense into Game 3, as it reached double-digit hits for the 23rd time in 25 games. But the late-game collapse gave a sour ending to what was otherwise a very successful weekend and an almost flawless month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been nice to get this one done today and walk out with a sweep, but as I said earlier in the week, sweeping teams in the Pac-10 is a challenge,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the guys, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, you put a good run together. Take the day off tomorrow, we start on Tuesday and put another one together.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The Wildcats carried that hitting prowess into Game 2, where they rode the bat of Selsky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 4-for-5, a homerun, 3 RBIs and 2 runs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the arm of pitcher Bryce Bandilla â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 6 1/3, five hits, two runs and six strikeouts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on the way to an 8-4 victory and their 15th straight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our numbers offensively are almost comical,â&#x20AC;? Lopez said after the Saturday win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to sustain through the course of a long season, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not
Birthday big fly
In his first at-bat Friday night, sophomore catcher Jett Bandy celebrated his 20th birthday with a two-run home run over the center-field wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to rank up pretty high,â&#x20AC;? he said of where the home run ranks with his birthday memories. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really remember what I did on my birthday.â&#x20AC;? After the weekend, Bandy leads the team in batting average (.470), slugging percentage (.730), on-base percentage (.552), homeruns (5) and total bases (73).

Fowler throws second no-hitter
games with bruised ribs, Banks filled in admirably, hitting her first home run of the season. And with sophomore Karissa Buchanan still out with a broken finger, Candrea threw freshman Matte Haack into right field, mostly to give her experience at the plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(I) just kind of stuck her out there,â&#x20AC;? Candrea said of Haack, who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played the outfield in her career. Throughout the weekend, Arizona braved cold weather in Albuquerque. The first game was played in wind gusts reported to be upward of 50 mph. Fowler allowed two hits and Arizona jumped on top, going into the bottom of the first inning with a 5-0 lead after

Brittany Lastrapes took the first pitch she saw out of the park. But Fowler was even more impressive in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blowout, striking out eight and only walking two Lobos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She hit her spots well. She got the batters off-guard,â&#x20AC;? Chambers said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was just on today.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, the offense earned 16 hits. Freshman Brigette Del Ponte knocked in four RBIs, but the four players hitting ahead of her in the lineup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Lastrapes, outfielder Lauren Schutzler, shortstop Kâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Lee Arredondo and Chambers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all earned at least two hits. Even Fowler got into the offensive groove, nabbing 3-for-4 at the plate
and hitting her first career bomb in the 14-0 drubbing. Schutzler currently leads the team with a .448 batting average while Del Ponte and Lastrapes have a tie for the team lead with 11 home runs on the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know if one of us goes up there and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a hit,â&#x20AC;? Chambers said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we always know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somebody behind us that can hit.â&#x20AC;? After rolling through a nonconference schedule with only three losses, the Wildcats now face the grueling Pacific 10 Conference schedule beginning at ASU this Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great that we did what we needed to do,â&#x20AC;? Candrea said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we start ramping it up.â&#x20AC;?
Closer still uncertain for baseball
of Simonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance on Sunday when he left the game with an 8-4 lead after seven innings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see steps of growth, I really do. I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headed in the right direction.â&#x20AC;?
Winning streak comes to an end
Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9-8 loss to the Ducks put a stop to Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 15-game winning streak. The streak gave the Wildcats a shot of confidence and some momentum, even garnering national attention as they climbed to as high as No. 19 in the national rankings. Looking back, as Lopez said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;some of our numbers offensively are almost comical.â&#x20AC;?
Arizona outscored its opponents 166-53 during the winning streak, thanks to a lineup that now has five players hitting over .400, not to mention Joey Rickardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s .394 batting average. The Wildcats fell just one game shy of tying Lopezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record at Arizona for consecutive wins, which came in 2007 when his team won 16 straight. The 15-game winning streak that ended yesterday is the eighth longest in school history, with the record being 21 in a row.
Clear closer still uncertain
Freshman Nick Cunningham recorded a save on Saturday, only to
blow a save chance in the ninth inning on Sunday. With fairness to Cunningham, he was on his third straight day of work, as the Arizona bullpen was missing some of its late inning options this weekend. Lopez said on Sunday he was still waiting for one of the freshmen to grab the reins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of these three guys is going to rear his head and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the guy,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Lopez said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for. Between (Tyler) Hale, (Cory) Bernard and Nick (Cunningham), one of them is going to say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;You know what, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m your closer here for the next couple of years.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Spike Lee contest winners impress judges By Ada Dieke Arizona Daily Wildcat Six UA students have the opportunity to meet filmmaker Spike Lee before his 7 p.m. lecture Wednesday in Centennial Hall. Coriana Close, Geoff Allen, John Allison, Julius Hindy, Mitch Turbenson and Tomara Moss are the winners of the University Activities Board contest. Members of the activities board and other students judged the contest. Requirements for the competition included submitting an application as well as a letter, script or original movie saying why the applicant wants to meet Lee. Close, 26, a fine arts master ’s candidate in photography, said she wants to discuss her thesis project with Lee. “I want to do a video installation and abstract visual representation of AfricanAmerican history, and I wanted to talk to him about it and get some suggestions,” Close said. Lee’s “Inside Man” was filmed across the street from her godmother ’s house and Close said the movie “reminded me of home.” Allison, 50, a natural resources graduate student, has a lot in common with Lee, who’s a couple years older than he. Both Allison and Lee grew up in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn, N.Y. Their fathers were jazz artists and even performed together in the ’60s. Allison and Lee attended the New York University Tisch School of the Arts and both are
filmmakers — Allison’s film “FDNY Dream Bike” was shown at Gallagher Theater. While they share mutual friends, Allison said he’s never got the chance to talk to Lee. He hopes to have a chat with Lee and discuss his film proposal on blues music. Psychology sophomore Hindy doesn’t have filmmaking aspirations but said Lee is one of his greatest idols. “Meeting him would be an honor and a privilege” Hindy added. Hindy said “He Got Game” is his favorite Lee film because the story is so similar to that of his own cousin’s. Hindy’s cousin, who had once been in jail, helped nurture his son’s hockey career. He now plays for a college hockey team. Freshman Allen has applied to the UA School of Media Arts. “I thought that meeting a famous director would be an excellent experience for someone like me,” he said. Allen submitted a 16-page script for the contest called “A Week of Shenanigans.” The script revolves around a college student who loses a Meet Spike Lee contest and tries everything to sneak into Centennial Hall to meet the director. “I really just tried to make my story as funny as I could,” Allen said. Moss, an education graduate student in special education, has had a life full of obstacles, including abuse. “I’ve overcome so much great adversity, I feel like this is an opportunity for me to give back,”
Moss said. She works with a disadvantaged population and admires Lee for creating stories that deal with adversity and tough issues in the African-American community. “I feel like this would be a great opportunity to talk to him … and share my story,” Moss said. Moss has aspirations of becoming a spokesperson and author, and hopes to have her story depicted in a movie. “I want to give people the strength to overcome the worst in life,” she said. Classical guitar performance and math sophomore Turbenson said his love for music motivated him to enter the contest. “I’m a big fan of the musical scoring in his films. Instead of the tradition of using orchestral pieces for the introduction, he takes a lot of jazz into his films as the background music,” Turbenson said. He said Lee really makes the audience listen to how the music also acts as a storyteller. “It would be really cool to have a discussion with him to discuss art and the use of music in his films.” Chris Hargraves, senior coordinator and adviser, and Munerra Muhammad, a pre-pharmacy and religious studies senior, are the Spike Lee event coordinators and also acted as contest judges. The judging panel consisted of a mix of activities board members and other campus organization leaders. Panelists were asked to judge on the basis of creativity and sincerity.

James Van Arsdel, Residence Life director, talks about dorm evictions in his office in El Portal building on March 22. Van Arsdel said evictions are a last resort and are only executed because of concern for the safety of students and the community.
DORMS
Residence Life believes eviction is a last resort
continued from page 5
the ways in which a resident can be evicted. Incidents that can result in an automatic eviction include, but are not limited to: bomb threats, possession of large amounts of alcohol beyond single-serving size whether you are underage or over 21, repeated use or possession of alcohol, possession of a weapon and theft. “The university may terminate your Housing License Agreement if you do not abide by the Community Standards or University rules,” according to the 2009-10 Community Living Guide. Residence Life employees want to treat students as adults. “We have to realize that students are young. Some of them want to be treated as adults; some still want to be treated as kids. This places the staff in a position where we have to manage that environment through
the behavioral standards that we have,”Van Arsdel said. Van Arsdel said that consequences of what might have occurred or what has occurred hold the most weight in the determining who gets evictions or write-ups. “If I go out drinking, there’s a certain consequence to me, but if I walk down the hall and throw up all over the hall, there’s probably a consequence to everyone around me, but that happens certainly every week (in residence halls),” Van Arsdel said. Van Arsdel said that eviction is a last resort measure that Residence Life will take. “I hope it’s evident that the staff who do this are in this for the desire to help students, not because they love kicking out people,” Van Arsdel said. “That’s never a fun thing to do, even when you’re absolutely convinced that this is not the right place or time for that person.”
