Students share impact of tuition hikes US Secret Service honors UAPD
Attendees tell personal stories during board of regents videoconference

The University of Arizona Police Department received a certificate of appreciation from the U.S. Secret Service last Tuesday for its assistance in President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama’s visit to the UA campus on Jan. 12. UAPD Chief Anthony Daykin accepted the award from U.S. Secret Service Resident Agent Cristina Beloud on behalf of the men and women of the department. “We received a lot of positive
Students shared personal examples of how rising tuition costs will affect their lives during an Arizona Board of Regents tuition hearing on Monday. The live videoconference allowed students to give testimonials at eight university campuses throughout the state. The hearing provides regents with student input before they set tuition for the 2011-2012 academic year at their next meeting on April 7. All university presidents proposed increases in tuition and mandatory fees for next year. UA President Robert Shelton proposed a $1,798 increase in tuition and mandatory fees for resident students and $898 for non-resident students. Each president presented his tuition proposal at the hearing, and student leaders were given a designated time to speak. About 30 other speakers from various campuses, who signed up before the hearing, were each given two minutes to speak to the regents. UA student Alisha Raccuia, a cultural psychology junior who transferred from a community college, said the tuition increases may put her future in jeopardy. She said she saved money by attending a community college but has already taken out $27,000 in loans during one year at the UA. “I am truthfully scared of what is to come,” Raccuia said. “I’m scared of losing my Pell Grant I received for next year. I’m scared I’m going

Court hearings set for today By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The ASUA Supreme Court will hear the appeals of both disqualified ASUA presidential candidates tonight beginning at 8 p.m., in the Appellate Courtroom, Room 146 of the James E. Rogers College of Law. The court will conduct Daniel Hernandez’s appeal first, at 8 p.m., with James Allen’s to follow at 9 p.m. Both candidates are appealing the election violation checks they received during the course of the general election ending March 9. Hernandez is appealing all 11 of the checks he received and Allen is
appealing nine of his 11. If Allen is able to appeal two of his checks to get to the maximum allowable threshold of nine, he will be declared the new president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, as he received the most votes in the general election. If the court rules that Allen remains disqualified, a special election will be held regardless of the outcome of Hernandez’s appeal in accordance with the ASUA Elections Code. Due to limited seating available in the room, priority will be given to relevant staff from the ASUA, parties relevant to the cases and media representatives. Once the room has
reached capacity, all those wishing to view the proceedings will be asked to wait outside. Video recording or still photography is strictly prohibited for James Allen the hearing, though audio recording is allowed. All cell phones must be turned off or switched into silent mode to observe courtroom decorum. Parties in the case shall be notified

Q& A Shaun Nichols
UA experimental philosopher raises questions on the concept of free will By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Shaun Nichols, an experimental philosopher at the UA, has been tackling age-old philosophy with new technology and interdisciplinary techniques. His latest study was published in this month’s Science journal focused on how free will and responsibility are interconnected and how they illuminate the philosophical problem of free will. Experimental philosophy works to apply logical judgments to philosophical questions.
INSIDE Opinions: Police Beat: Odds & Ends: Classifieds: Comics: Sports:
Arizona Daily Wildcat: How did you get involved in experimental philosophy? Nichols: I started in experimental philosophy because there were lots of questions about why we think the way we do about philosophy. I was interested in trying a different avenue. A lot of philosophical problems have their roots in common sense but there are clear psychological questions. My interest was really driven by an attempt to find a new source of evidence, to figure out how the
problems arise in the first place. How helpful is the UA in experimental philosophy? We have had a dozen studies since I’ve been here, and it’s an active place in experimental philosophy. I think that part of what makes the UA attractive is that there is a long and strong tradition in cognitive science, and experimental philosophy is within that tradition, using an interdisciplinary approach to tackle these old questions. How much of experimental

reason for why that happened. I think that we think about other people that way as well. One the one hand, everything that happens is caused by what happened before. But when I am making decisions, it doesn’t feel like it’s caused by what happened before. So why do we think that way? That’s what I’m interested in. The debate is, in a way, there’s a kind of stalemate in the philosophy of free will. Understanding
philosophy is psychology? Sociology? It’s driven by philosophical problems. It’s driven by questions that are rooted in the question of philosophy. But the techniques are really psychological. So they’ll use survey studies, just like psychologists use a wide-range of techniques. How does experimental philosophy then deal with free will? Free will has its roots in the way we think about the world. When you are thinking about why something happened, there has to be a

continued from page 1 feedback at the time about how well everyone was performing,” Daykin said. “When I found out the Secret Service said they wanted to present us with this certificate of appreciation, I was pretty thrilled.” The certificate addresses the contributions made by UAPD during the memorial event “Together We Thrive: Tucson and America” at McKale Center, in which the president addressed citizens in response to the Tucson shooting. One of the main tasks UAPD had during the event was to make sure the president was escorted to and from McKale Center safely and efficiently. “This was a flawless event,” Daykin said. “It was flawless from the perspective of security, but we were able to make it flawless because of the support from the university.” The award was one of three certificates the Secret Service awarded for the event, the other two went to the Tucson Police and Fire departments. In order to be eligible for the award, recipients were recommended by both Beloud and a special agent in Phoenix. “We wanted to make sure we acknowledged their efforts,” Beloud said. “Oftentimes first responders don’t get the credit they deserve when they go above and beyond the call.” The event itself was constructed in less than 30 hours after President Obama accepted an
invitation to visit the university. Daykin went on to say that the reason he feels UAPD was able to be successful was due in part to the collaborative efforts made by the Arizona community and the UA’s contingency plans for these types of emergencies. The Campus Emergency Response Team is constructed from various UA departments ranging from UAPD to Campus Heath Service that accomplish a wide array of goals from security detail to event logistics. The purpose of this committee is to provide a variety of knowledge on how to address an emergency situation. In the case of the president’s visit, it was to ensure the safety of the administration and public officials attending the event, as well as provide seating for the public who filled up McKale Center and part of Arizona Stadium. “Because it was such a unique event, everyone did what they could to help out,” said Carol Thompson, dean of students and a response team committee member. During the event Thompson helped to seat government officials as well as coordinate with White House employees. “I think the institution, and all of the people in every aspect of pulling the event together in the time frame we had, did an outstanding job,” Thompson said. For the time being, the certificate, which is a sliver plaque, remains in Daykin’s office, but it may be displayed in the UAPD main office in the near future.

continued from page 1 to have to take out a second job. I’m scared I might have to actually reconsider being a student here.” Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze shared another story of a student who would be affected by rising tuition costs. Rosa, a student Fritze met during the weekend, has two jobs and works 60 hours a week to pay for school and support her mother. “Her first priority is paying the bills,” Fritze said. Increases in tuition will heighten the struggles of students like Rosa, Fritze said. These students often cannot participate in all the university has to offer because they are trying to make ends meet. “It is this experience that should not be a privilege for the few,” Fritze said. Budget cuts have made the jobs of the regents difficult, Fritze said. “All we can ask for is a healthy discernment of what tuition increases are really necessary,” she said. Students also spoke about the increase in mandatory fees at the UA, including a $150 increase to the health and recreation fee and a $125 to the information technology and library fee. Public health and business graduate student Kim Romney spoke in favor of the health and wellness fee, saying it will ensure the quality of vital services. “What could be more important than the health and wellness of students?” Romney asked.
These overall increases in tuition and fees could drive students out of Arizona, said Michael Stefferson, a physics senior. Stefferson receives a merit-based scholarship and said the UA was the most costeffective university option. “What this is doing is pushing a lot of top students in the state away from the state,” he said. “To stay competitive, (Arizona) needs its best and brightest to stay in Arizona. As soon as they leave, they’re probably not coming back.” UA alumna Margie Wrye told regents tuition was $650 during her first year at the university in 1981. “You and our state lawmakers are going to force many young people into debt they should not have to carry from a state university,” she said. Tuition increases will prevent some people from receiving degrees, according to Stefferson. “It’s systematically segregating our schools,” Stefferson said. “We’re going to see two groups of people: those who can’t pay, and those who can pay.”

News Tips
continued from page 1 why we think the way we do might shed more light on the debate. What does this study add to the debate? It’s about responsibility. Free will and responsibility are closely tied. You can’t be responsible without free will and without free will you can’t be responsible. Some philosophers think that free will and responsibility are involved in determinism but people don’t think that determinism precludes compatibility. In the study, we wanted to see which side was right. Some of the answers conflict with how we normally think about responsibility. When you are thinking abstractly about responsibility, they find it really powerful. But if you get them upset, then that kind of swamps that calm, cool, collected response. What questions were asked? When we described determinism to people and we asked this abstract question: In a universe where people are predetermined, are people responsible? They said no. But if someone (committed) a violent crime, like kills his whole family, then it’s the oppsite answer. When you present someone with situations that are really emotionally salient, that are really charged, then people are more likely to say yes. It’s about the way you look at the problem. Were there any surprises in this or other free will studies? I was really surprised that there was as much cross-cultural uniformity. The U.S. is really unusual in what we think are culturally universal. That was surprising. But even if you ask very small kids, if you ask them about physical objects, like a ball not hitting the bottom of a box, they’ll say no, it had to. But if you ask them the same thing about the person, even three-year-old kids are saying they could have made a different choice. So even kids have some sense of free will. It’s not just culturally widespread but it’s also very early.

Justices appear ready to strike down Obama defends Arizona campaign finance law US action in Libya MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s conservative justices signaled during oral arguments that they will vote to strike down another campaign funding law and make clear that states and cities may not try to “level the playing field� between candidates for public office. The justices objected to part of an Arizona law that provides public funds to candidates for state office if they agree to forego private fundraising. The disputed provision gives extra “matching funds� to candidates who face a well-funded and free-spending opponent. Conservatives and libertarians in Arizona sued and argued that these extra funds unfairly penalized candidates who relied on private fundraising. They lost in the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which upheld the
law and said it did not limit the free speech rights of the candidates who depended on private funds. The Supreme Court has been split 5-4 on campaign funding cases, with the conservative bloc in the majority, and that split was evident again on Monday. Last year, the conservative majority said spending on political campaigns cannot be limited by law, even to prevent big corporations from using their profits to sway elections. They sounded just as determined Monday to make clear governments cannot seek to “equalize� spending between a wellfunded candidate and a challenger who is trying to keep pace. If so, the court will deal another blow to liberal reformers who seek to limit the impact of money in politics. Arizona’s voters adopted the Citizens Clean Elections Act in 1998. It offers state
candidates a basic grant to run for office and extra “matching funds� if their opponent is spending heavily with private funds. For example, a candidate for the state legislature who receives a grant of $21,000 to run in a general election can receive up to twice that amount in extra funds to match the spending of his opponent. Several states, including Maine, Connecticut and Florida, adopted similar laws, as have at least a dozen municipalities, including Los Angeles and New York. “Under our precedents, leveling the playing field is not a legitimate state purpose,� said Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. “I checked the Citizens Clean Election Commission website this morning, and it says that this act was passed to ‘level the playing field’ when it comes to running for office. Why isn’t that clear evidence that it’s unconstitutional?� he asked.
Gun control supporters not optimistic visive issue of guns. “People are sensitive to the issue of gun violence because of the Giffords shooting ... but the gun issue is down on Congress’ list of priorities, given high unemployment and two and a half wars,� said Darrell West, the director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, a center-left Washington policy-research center. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., is recovering at a Houston rehabilitation center after being shot in the head Jan. 8 outside a Tucson supermarket. “She’s the most prominent victim since Reagan,� noted Paul Helmke, the president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The Tucson incident, combined with the Reagan anniversary, gives gun-control advocates a fresh platform. Brady and his wife, Sarah, a leading gun-control advocate, plan to visit the White House
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — Wednesday is the 30th anniversary of the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. Gun-control advocates, including Reagan’s wounded press secretary, Jim Brady, will use the day to launch a renewed push for curbs on guns. Once again, chances are they won’t get very far. The public remains sharply divided, largely along geographic lines, over gun rights vs. gun control. Gun-rights groups, led by the National Rifle Association, dramatically outspend guncontrol organizations on campaign donations and lobbying. President Barack Obama, though he urged gun-control action in an essay March 13 in the Arizona Daily Star newspaper, hasn’t made a strong push. Congress is likely to remain preoccupied with budget battles, with lawmakers unlikely to tackle the di-

on Tuesday and Capitol Hill on Wednesday to lobby for tighter curbs on firearms. “I think prospects are better than you’re probably hearing,� Sarah Brady said Monday in an interview. However, she conceded, “there’s an awful lot on everybody’s schedule, and their thoughts right now are often elsewhere.� That’s nothing new. Other than the 1993 “Brady Bill,� which requires background checks for handgun or long-gun purchasers from federally licensed gun dealers, “not much has been done in the last 30 years,� Helmke said. A 1994 crime bill passed with Democratic majorities that included a ban on assault weapons, but Democrats then lost their congressional majorities that fall. The ban’s unpopularity, especially in the South and West, was cited as one primary reason for the losses. The ban expired in 2004. The Obama administration hasn’t launched a serious effort to renew it.
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Monday declared the U.S.-led military intervention in Libya a success, saying it averted a massacre by longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi and that NATO’s takeover of the multilateral mission this week means the U.S. can quickly shift to a support role with less risk and cost. “Tonight, I can report that we have stopped Gadhafi’s deadly advance,� Obama said in a speech at National Defense University in Washington. The address was designed to respond to criticism that he hasn’t explained the goals for U.S. involvement sufficiently. “The United States of America has done what we said we would do.� In the 27-minute speech, Obama made two parallel cases: first, that doing nothing would have run counter to U.S. ideals and national interests; and second, that to have acted alone or expanded the military mission to topple Gadhafi would have been too costly and repeated the mistakes of the Iraq War. Obama said that America had a moral imperative in preventing Gadhafi from inflicting “a massacre� on his own people.

No-fly zone in Libya is no Iraq war Andrew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat
A
s soon as the U.N. operation into Libya began, critics on both the left and the right instantly began making comparisons to the war in Iraq. To some on the left, the implementation of the no-fly zone is just another egregious example of the U.S. over-extending its arms into another nation’s affairs. In fact, notable Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich is now calling for the president’s impeachment over the matter. To some on the right, U.S. opposition to a tyrannical dictator justifies former President George W. Bush’s decision to send troops into Iraq. However, both groups couldn’t be more wrong, as the operation in Libya and the war in Iraq are completely incomparable. First of all, the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was a blatant violation of international law, while the implementation of the no-fly zone is a perfect example of international cooperation. According to international law, the use of force is justified only in matters of self-defense or with the approval of the U.N. Security Council. As every American knows, Iraq was not about self-defense and Bush failed to attain the blessing of the Security Council. The implementation of the no-fly zone in Libya, on the other hand, received the Security Council’s approval and is a joint effort with the French leading the charge. Second, the war in Iraq was no humanitarian mission. As much as those on the right wish to spin the story to claim that the war in Iraq was about freeing the Iraqi people from the horrors of Saddam Hussein, this simply wasn’t the case. If it was, then why did the administration not use it as a rationale for war until after it was determined that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction or no official ties to Al-Qaeda? Saving the Iraqi people from Saddam Hussein was a consequence of U.S. action, but certainly not a reason for it. Libya, though, is certainly a humanitarian mission. If the international community had failed to take action, Col. Muammar Gadhafi’s forces would have overtaken the last rebel stronghold in the city of Benghazi. Then, militias loyal to Gadhafi would have wreaked havoc on the people of Benghazi, punishing them for their disobedience. However, it’s naive to think that saving the people of Benghazi is the only motivation for the military operation, as Gadhafi has long been a thorn in the side of the U.S. government. Seeing him out of power would certainly put a grin on the people at the State Department’s faces, but it would be the result of a legitimate, homegrown movement, and not foreign invasion. The no-fly zone only gives the rebel movement cover from air strikes and much needed momentum, but they still have an intense ground war to fight on their own. Those on the left, with the exception of complete pacifists, should be pleased with how the Obama administration has handled the crisis in Libya, and not drawing unnecessary comparisons to Iraq. This is no example of Bush-era nation building. Instead, it’s perhaps the only example of the U.N. functioning as it was designed to. The use of force is needed sometimes and if military action is required overseas, this is how it should be done. To those on the right, this hardly justifies the illegal actions of the Bush administration. Gadhafi and Saddam are both of the same breed, but lending moral and tactical support to a nearly defeated rebel movement is significantly different (and wiser) than a full-fledged invasion and takeover of another country. While it’s unclear what will become of the current crisis in Libya, one thing is certain: As long as the U.S. continues to rule out the possibility of putting American troops on the ground, Libya will not turn into another Iraq. A no-fly zone is not the same thing as war, so any comparisons to the invasion of Iraq are completely moot. — Andrew Shepherd is a political science senior.

MAILBAG Engage representatives to see results
I applaud students’ efforts to raise awareness and voice concerns about what proposed tuition increases will mean to the future of the UA. The next step for all of these engaged students is to contact their elected representatives. The message is clear: Support higher education. Unless the Arizona governor, senators and representatives read the Wildcat or were on campus on March 23, they are not fully aware of your voice. Write, email and call those who represent you. It takes a few minutes and shows that young people will not stand idly by as decisions are made that affect us. — Melanie Fleck Graduate student in public health
Mock border wall promotes humanity across borders
In the last few days I’ve begun to think that people aren’t getting the point of the mock-border that is currently on the UA Mall. The fence is an opportunity to promote understanding and education about the issues that Arizona faces with the U.S.-Mexico border. I don’t see how the memorial to the border patrol agents
killed opposite the mock-border is any less right-wing propaganda than the mock border is supposedly “leftist propaganda.” In 2010 three border patrol officers were killed in the line of duty. At the same time hundreds of immigrants die crossing through the Sonoran desert every year, and their deaths aren’t any less significant just because they aren’t American citizens. The fence isn’t promoting any antiAmerican sentiment, it’s promoting an understanding that our humanity and our connections as human beings should extend beyond borders. — Jenny Hedger Psychology sophomore
ASUA Election Code changes needed for legitimacy
When I read the news article “ASUA Split on possible Elections Code Changes,” I was taken aback. Not only do changes need to be made, here are some suggestions: — Require that all candidates sign a FERPA release for all items pertaining to the election; do not allow candidates or the Commissioner to hide behind this misapplied document. — Allow the Elections Commissioner to start their own investigation into
code violations; if the commissioner has sufficient evidence of violation, allow them to take action. — After each violation, have the candidate sign that they have re-read and understand the elections code to help prevent future violations. — Specifically state that any electionsapproved campaign material distribution or misuse are the responsibility of the candidates; it is the candidate’s responsibility to be aware of who they give those materials to and how they are used. — Allow slates, but have the slate members sign that they understand that violations by any member of the slate may be considered a violation by the entire slate; there are advantages to being on a slate, but there are also disadvantages. — Should a candidate be disqualified, they are forbidden from running again in the same election cycle. These are a few suggestions to strengthen the elections code and allow for more openness to the process. Undoubtedly there will be events in the next elections cycle that no one can predict, but the current code has shown that it needs improvements to restore the legitimacy of the elections. — Robert Rosinski Civil engineering sophomore
Literary prostitution Johnny McKay Arizona Daily Wildcat
I
t’s in your schools, your classrooms, your dorm. It is a growing epidemic that is sweeping the academic nation, and it’s showing no sign of stopping. Literary prostitution. It’s 4 a.m.; do you know where your essay is? There are many fun ways to make enough money to afford rent, adderall and beer in college. You can demean yourself with low-paying jobs, serving up pitas to drunk fraternity robots or filing bafflingly boring papers in the back room of the most obscure department on campus. If you have a car, you’re lucky, and you can demean yourself in classier establishments, launching yourself into the fast-paced food and beverage industry. Another great way, considering you have an ounce of literary prowess to spare and a perceived sense of free time, is to whore your brain and Microsoft Word out for money. For others, there are many fun ways to avoid writing simple essays that would probably greatly benefit your writing skills for application later in life. One fun way is to be over-privileged and excessively rich. And thus, from the synergy born from the two previous paragraphs, a well-established essay-producing prostitution ring has popped up on campuses worldwide. Pimps are so ‘90s; these campus-walkers
are self-motivated and desperate for cash, usually getting all of their basic food groups from clever and researched dollar menu combinations. Their desperation for an easy buck has jolted them slightly from the painful procrastinated apathy that seizes most students when faced with a paper, and they are able to put their skills to good use. Luckily, these skills usually don’t have to reach further than 10th grade English, since 90 percent of the commissioned papers are from general education classes, which is the number one place to find rich and lazy customers. Essays ranging from “Describe the growing trend toward democracy and away from authoritative militarized regimes in politically evolving Africa” to “What things make you feel sad? How?” have all found their ways into the capable hands of these sleazy students for hire. Despite no knowledge of the class at all, they realize that almost all courses can be conquered through applied bullshit, which is just a mild concept and argument surrounded by flowing poetic sentences and lofty lexicons. In my experience as an undercover sting agent for these nighttime escapades, the price of a night spent with an essay prompt can range from $20 to $150, depending on where in California the buyer is from. Some like to adopt the pay-by-page technique,
appraising the worth of the project based on the number of pages filled up with wordy bullshitting. (“Single-space? That’ll cost extra, honey.”) Hilariously, no one ever seems to award the monetary netting based on a grading scale, nor have I seen a “half now, half when you don’t quote Meatloaf in my philosophy essay” payment plan. I have stood by and seen literary prostitutes confronted with “B’s”, “C’s” and “D’s,” and decisively negative teacher comments. (“I fail to see how my personal happiness is a thing that makes you sad. Or how you could screw up such a painfully easy assignment. I wish that there were 27 letters in the grading system so that I could give you the 27th, as that would be much more indicative of your performance than a mere ‘F.’”) The accused, confronted with a blatant breach of usual business and employment ethics, usually shrugs and walks away, knowing full well that their services will be rendered again within a week or so (whenever the next dreaded assignment arises). Despite the complete lack of usual business dynamics and the disconcerting feeling that someone just as irresponsible as you, only poorer, is controlling your graded destiny, the Microsoft Office prostitution ring is thriving. As long as there are rich, lazy college kids and poor, slightly less lazy college kids, the underground business of paper-slinging shows no sign of stopping soon. — Johnny McKay is the multimedia editor of the Daily Wildcat.

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Anonymous caller helps suicidal friend
An unknown caller to UAPD reported a suicidal female on March 23. The call was received at 10:30 p.m., and the caller said that the suicidal girl was driving south on Cherry Avenue from Fourth Street in a truck. Two UAPD officers made contact with the reported vehicle and began speaking with the girl. She was sitting on the wall across from McKale Center, crying loudly. An officer asked the girl if she knew why she was being stopped. “Because I told my friend I was going to kill myself,” she said. When the officer asked why she said that, the girl replied “Because I am going to kill myself.” At this point, the officer contacted Southern Arizona Mental Health Corporation and explained the situation. A team of employees arrived on the scene and spoke with the girl. Around 15 minutes later, they spoke with the officers and said that she agreed to be transported to the facility and speak with one of their counselors. The officer transported her to the facility where she met with staff and checked into the mental health facility.
Long Island fail
A male UA student was arrested for marijuana possession after parking improperly on March 22. A UAPD officer patrolling University Boulevard, heading toward Tyndall Avenue, observed a car stopped facing west in the center turn lane. As the officer approached the vehicle, the car began to drive in reverse and turned into the lane directly in front of the patrol vehicle. Immediately, the officer braked suddenly to avoid colliding with the car, stopping three feet shy of hitting the student. The driver then continued to back the car into a parking spot on University Boulevard. As he attempted to park the vehicle, the driver hopped the passenger side onto the curb. The vehicle stopped and the officer turned on his emergency lights to meet with the driver. The driver said that he had a couple of drinks and wasn’t very good at backing into parking spaces. While talking, he stood steadily, did not show impairment of speech and only had a faint odor of alcohol on his breath. He said that he drank two Long Island iced teas at T.G.I. Friday’s and was going to the Auld Dubliner to return his roommate’s car. He voluntarily submitted to a portable breathalyzer test, which yielded a very low presence of alcohol. While performing a records check on the driver, the officer found that his license was suspended. The officer arrested him for driving on said suspended license. While the driver began the paperwork, the officer performed an inventory search of the vehicle. Inside the vehicle, the officer smelled marijuana and found a glass pipe and grinder in the center console. The grinder had a trace amount of marijuana. The driver said that he only smoked occasionally and had just finished the last of his marijuana before the officer pulled him over. The officer added marijuana possession to his citation. The student was cited and released on scene, and the car was towed. A code of conduct referral was completed and forward to the Dean of Students Office. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Bike tourist Are you guys living on your bikes? We are on a bike trip from L.A. to Big Bend National Park in Texas, about halfway done. Why are you stopped at the UA? Well Tucson is one of the best cities I have ever been to. It’s awesome. Yesterday was “Cyclovia” event, we had a blast there and today we’ve just been re-doing all of our maps, mailed home half of our shit because it’s too heavy and it’s too hot. We don’t need cold layers anymore, kinda hanging out at the campus using your stuff, getting resources. Best day yet? Every day is incredible. I mean this town especially, this is just such a crossroads town, all the people hopping off of trains here; we’ve met so many real cool kids just drifting around, rainbow family camp ground situations. How do you feel about zombies? I feel like it’s a very practical thing when you are sleeping outside. There is a park here we learned about where all the crazy drunk guys wait from 2 to 6 in the morning and wander around smashing things, we call them zombies or methed-out fourwheel-drive off-roaders. What’s your go-to defense mechanism for these zombies? Our first step is it’s not very hard to outsmart them. We are like leprechauns if they found us, usually it’s just hiding. Like alright just beat me up, I don’t know what to do.

After about an hour of conversation at the White Horse, Bentley’s favorite East Ham pub, the two would-be lovers realized they were actually siblings.

“To meet your long-lost brother, in a bar, after over 30 years would be something by itself,” Kemp said. “But to meet him in those circumstances — on a date, for crying out loud — really is something else. We obviously had far more in common than first thought.” Kemp, 42, and Bentley, 47, grew up together until their parents, Felicity and David Bentley, divorced in 1975.

After 30 years apart, brother and sister reunite on bizarre blind date You should always be cautious on a blind date, and here’s why. After connecting through an Internet dating service, two anonymous love seekers realized they were in fact estranged siblings when they finally met face to face last week. Sarah Kemp, a cleaner living in Edinburgh, Scotland, and George Bentley, a London-based builder, began a correspondence through ForgetDinner.co.uk last November. After several months emailing back and forth, the pair — brother and

We get a lot of enforcement related questions. When it comes to legal and police enforcement issues we are neither Judge Judy nor Officer Krupke. However, we do have UAPD officers Bethany Wilson and Joe Bermudez to call upon to field your questions.
Q. How should I behave if stopped by UAPD? A. Both UAPD officers say that the best thing to do is be respectful and accept the consequences of your actions. “We get lies almost every time because people know they did something wrong and that they’ve been caught. They are frightened and lie to protect themselves. So, when someone accepts their consequences with integrity we are surprised and impressed. Though you may still get cited, being honest and not having an attitude could serve you well. This is especially true in situations where there is ‘officer discretion’ on whether to cite you or give you a warning.” Q. Can you get a DUI if under the legal BAC level of .08? A. Yes. In Arizona you can get a DUI with a BAC below .08 due to being impaired in the “slightest degree.” Q. Does UAPD ever operate under a quota system? A. No.

Q. How come all the passengers in our car got busted with MIPs when the driver wasn’t intoxicated at all? A. Even if a driver was found to be completely sober, their passengers could get cited if intoxicated. The driver would have been pulled over for a traffic violation. The passengers got MIPs (if under 21) because there was probable cause to cite them. Q. Can you get a DUI for being intoxicated while riding your bike?
A. Arizona DUI laws state that it is unlawful for a person to be in control of a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The key word is “vehicle,” which excludes those devices moved by human power. By that definition, a bike is not a vehicle and the DUI statute would not apply. However, if UAPD came across an intoxicated person operating a motor vehicle on the roadway, they could pursue the DUI.

Elite once again Perry’s emergence sparked Elite Eight run
2005, 2011 tournament runs mark transition in hoops program
By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Silence. That’s what reporters walked into when Arizona’s locker room opened up after the Wildcats’ 65-63 loss to UConn in the Elite Eight on Saturday. Hardly anybody moved from their lockers. Hardly anybody wanted to answer questions. UA forward Jesse Perry took the bullet and spoke. He was asked about Jamelle Horne’s shot. He was asked about coming within seconds of going to Houston for the Final Four. “Sometimes it turns out like that,” Perry said. “That’s how the games go.” Then, Perry was asked how he could maintain such composure next to his teammates, who were burying their heads in their uniforms. “Man, I’m an older guy,” he said. He certainly played like an older guy. The junior college transfer sparked Arizona with critical stretches of gut-check effort, just as he had done all season. But this wasn’t just another regular season breakout against an Oregon State or Stanford. This was UConn and Jim Calhoun. This was the Elite Eight. In the second half, Perry went on a personal 6-0 run against UConn — his right-handed layup, left-handed lay-up and two-handed jam ignited the Honda Center and kept the Wildcats within striking distance. Perry finished with 14 points against Connecticut after shooting 7-for-9 from the floor. Other times he was all over the defensive end with seven rebounds. The most remarkable part? One year ago, Perry was playing junior college basketball in Cartersville, Ill. “I couldn’t imagine (this),” Perry said of playing in the Elite Eight. “With hard work and dedication, in the gym a lot, with the great coach that we got, it’s possible.”
COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer
Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Arizona forward Jesse Perry’s rise as a dependable contributor was a key factor in Arizona’s Elite Eight run this season. Head coach Sean Miller said Perry’s work ethic and hard play were essential to the team’s success.
For as quickly as Derrick Williams rose on the national college basketball landscape, Perry’s successful development at Arizona could be considered an even bigger pleasant surprise. And whether Williams decides to enter the NBA Draft early or not, UA head coach Sean Miller knows he can rely on Perry and Solomon Hill to fill the void while Miller’s heralded incoming freshman class adjusts to college basketball. “Jesse (Perry), like he did against Duke in the beginning of the second half, seized control and just played really hard,” Miller said.
Miller began the year saying Perry was the missing piece to last season’s team that finished 16-15. He needed an older, tougher, willing-to-do-anything hustler and Perry embraced his role as the cleanup man until Miller needed him to do more. Perry began starting over UA senior Jamelle Horne but continued his mantra: Provide energy, fear nobody. “We don’t stop here,” Perry said. “We’re going to keep our head up, keep pushing from here. Being my first year here, it’s amazing. I’m happy for all my teammates.”
Maybe talking about Elite Eights doesn’t elicit the same fervor as, say, Final Fours. But in Arizona’s recent basketball history, it’s two Elite Eights that shaped the transition from past to present. Though Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson would coach for two years following the last Elite Eight run in 2005, the Wildcats have since been anything but, well, elite. Until Saturday. The Wildcats came within a single shot of the Final Four, losing by two after two missed 3-point attempts that would’ve punched their tickets to Houston, Texas. In 2005 — the last time Arizona was one of the last eight standing — it was the same deal. Forward Hassan Adams put up a lastditch jumper that missed as the Wildcats fell 90-89 to No. 1 seed Illinois in overtime. Both were losses, but the symbolism of each couldn’t be more different. The 2005 loss came after one of the most epic collapses in NCAA Tournament history. With four minutes left in regulation, the No. 3 seed Wildcats led by 15 points against a one-loss Illinois team. But all of the sudden, the Wildcats played not-to-lose, leading to a 20-5 run behind future NBAers in Deron Williams and Luther Head. Illinois won in overtime, the defeat marking a critical juncture in the Arizona program’s history. Following that 2004-05 season, it was all downhill. Even though Olson coached two more seasons before the infamous two interim-led squads, he
couldn’t win more than 20 games and failed to finish as one of the top two teams in the Pacific 10 Conference. Recruiting took a hit, too. Before Olson left, it was an easy recruiting tactic for opposing coaches to use the “Lute might not be there for your four years” approach. It showed. Duke senior Kyle Singler told reporters before Thursday’s Sweet 16 game versus Arizona that he worried Olson, who had recruited him out of Medford, Ore., might not make it through his collegiate career. He had a right to be worried. On Thursday, Olson watched the Duke loss from the stands. So through the next five seasons, Arizona was an average team in an average conference. Even a Sweet 16 run in 2009 came by a little luck. This year, luck was nothing of the sort. Yes, the Wildcats had some buzzer-beaters, blocks and balls bouncing their way, but to navigate through three nationally recognized basketball programs in the NCAA Tournament and lose by one shot to a fourth isn’t luck. This year, Arizona belonged once more. And when it finally came to an end on Saturday — like 2005, in the Elite Eight, and like 2005, with 30 wins — it was probably the same disbelief that had players frozen in the locker room, unable to fathom what had just happened. Yet the feeling came as Arizona failed to take a victory from the arms of UConn, not because they handed it away, as was the case six years prior. This time, that stuffy feeling in the locker room didn’t come with a seasoning of emptiness and failure. Instead, it provided fuel for the future. —Kevin Zimmerman is a journalism senior.

What UA coaches are saying about the Wildcats’ NCAA run “I texted Sean (Miller) on Sunday morning and said that (he was doing) probably one of the best teaching coaching jobs I’ve seen in a long, long time. I’m really happy for him and his family and obviously his players, but I know, being a coach in this profession for 30 years, it’s a great feeling because your family makes a lot of sacrifices.” — Andy Lopez, baseball head coach
“What an excellent job of coaching the staff did. What a team effort those guys put together to make this run. There aren’t too many stories like this out there that happen in such a short period of time with a new coaching staff. Some of the kids on that team have seen multiple coaches. So, it really is a wonderful job of coaching, what a wonderful job of molding a team together that Sean (Miller) and his staff have done, so my hat’s off to those guys.”
“It was fantastic. They did a great job and the staff did a great job. What they accomplished, I mean all coaches always want more, but when you think about it, the fact that they played that good and they represented the institution so well. The coaches are great people and they have obviously done a great job. It was really fun to watch, certainly inspiring.”
“I think that was a little inspiration for all the teams. They came out and played the game aggressive. They played the game to win and took it right to Duke.“ — Mike Candrea, softball head coach (on Friday)
— Bill Ryden, gymnastics head coach
— Frank Busch, swim head coach
Busch completes final NCAA meet By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For Arizona’s swimming and diving head coach Frank Busch, the men’s 2011 NCAA Championships last week marked his very last meet for Arizona. After a remarkable 22 seasons as the Wildcats’ head coach, Busch is stepping down from his position in May to become USA Swimming’s national team director — a prestigious role in the swimming world. Busch certainly has the credentials for his future role. He is a six-time NCAA Coach of the Year, an 11-time Pacific 10 Conference Coach of the Year and has been named Coach of the Year by both USA Swimming and the United States Olympic Committee — just to name a few. For his Wildcat career, a major milestone was winning Arizona’s first NCAA Championships for both the men’s and women’s teams in 2008. When the men’s team placed fourth last week at the NCAA championships, it became the team’s seventh top-four finish within the last eight seasons. “It was a very good meet for us, our guys did a great job and to get fourth in the country and have another national title,” Busch said. “We had a great meet.” There has been talk that Arizona’s second day of competition was a setback for the team. Busch refutes the notion, saying that the performance of the top-three teams was just too much to overcome. “I think there’s always some flow when you go into a three-day meet like this,” Busch said. “You can have some

great sessions, sessions that aren’t so good and then come back again and have some great ones, so it’s just the nature of the beast. It happens to all teams.” California took the ultimate title, followed by Texas and then Stanford. Unlike the Wildcats, the top three teams came to the championships bearing more upperclassmen than the Wildcats. Arizona’s youth was also speculated to be a hindrance. “The winner is arguably the best senior class ever in the history of NCAA swimming. They were very top-heavy
with talent and senior leadership,” Busch said. “Texas had some key seniors, as did Stanford. We certainly weren’t in a position with only one senior there with us. So, it looks good for us for years to come.” When Busch walked off the deck last week knowing it was his last meet as Arizona’s swimming and diving head coach, he left with a smile. “I was happy, I was happy because of the way we performed, that made it easier,” Busch said. “I was happy, because the main people there wished me good luck and people I’ve known for a long time and have seen for a long time. “It’s always difficult when you’re around a place for a long period of time. I’ve been around the deck of the pool for 31 years, at this level, and then seeing people for the last time on a pool deck doing the same thing. All the friendships I’ve made will continue to blossom over time, but it will be different, that’s for sure.”
2011 men’s NCAA highlights
Along with junior captain Cory Chitwood’s national title in the 200-yard backstroke, he was also awarded AllAmerica honors for the 100y backstroke. Like Chitwood, freshman Mitchell Friedemann earned All-America honors for the 100y backstroke. Chitwood placed sixth, while Friedemann came in eighth place. Other individual All-America honors were awarded to junior Austen Thompson after he came in fourth in the 400y individual medley, as well as junior Kevin Munsch, who placed seventh overall in the 100y breaststroke.
Williams named AP second team All-American By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Arizona forward Derrick Williams was named second team All-American by the Associated Press on Monday. “My goal before the season was to shoot the most free throws and to be the most efficient player In the country..and sure enough I was,” Williams said via his Twitter account, @DWilluofA23. Williams, who averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game while shooting 56.8 percent from beyond the 3-point arc, fell behind first team players BYU guard Jimmer Fredette, Duke guard Nolan Smith, UConn guard Kemba Walker, Purdue forward JaJuan Johnson and Ohio State center Jared Sullinger. Joining him on the second team list were forward Marcus Morris of Kansas, Notre Dame guard Ben Hansbrough, Wisconsin guard Jordan Taylor and San Diego State forward Kawhi Leonard. Criticism of the AP votes has been evident on Twitter. Fellow Pacific 10 Conference player Calvin Haynes of Oregon State tweeted at Williams, “@ DWilluofA23 how jajuan johnson make the all American team over you??? SMH! #BS” Williams’ teammate, Brendon Lavender, said, “I dont get the Politics.. The homie was the best big man in college basketball. Period,” on his Twitter account, @BrendonLavender.
