Spring Fling may come to campus By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By next week, ASUA will have an official position on university fee communication. Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze presented a draft of the ASUA fee statement, which introduces a new fee-setting procedure that requires that departments or units who wish to create a new fee notify ASUA six weeks before the Arizona Board of Regents

tuition hearing. Fritze said she chose six weeks because she was trying to give the university enough time to take the state budget into account. She added that by having the data earlier she would be able to speak on fees at the tuition hearing as opposed to after. After notification, the department or unit must hold a survey vote, allowing students to vote “yes” or “no” on a fee. The survey vote would be used to educate and garner student input on specific aspects of that

fee.Sen. Garrett Voge raised the question of how to ensure that the survey vote was not a small group of students representing a large department. Fritze said she wants the survey vote to be a representative sample of all students. “I want to make sure if we are taking a final stance on something it’s not all freshmen or all undergrads or something like that,” Fritze said. After the survey vote, the results will be documented publically and given to UA

administration and student leaders to consult before the tuition hearing. Once the regents have approved a fee, a student advisory committee will be created to help allocate the fee.

Broccoli could prevent cancer

Freshmen hit hard

More students request financial aid to combat fiscal woes of recession By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UA freshman Luis Rivera, who is majoring in English , has experienced the effects of the recent recession on education first-hand. He is struggling to get by on financial aid while he looks for a job and said he fears having to go to a community college if his scholarship money is affected by state budget cuts. Rivera is among the threequarters of collegiate freshmen who used grants and scholarships to pay for college, according to an annual national survey by the Higher Education Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles . This figure is the highest since the survey began asking the question in 2001 . Rivera relies on the Arizona Assurance Program, which offers financial assistance to low-income Arizona students .

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

The program also focuses on retention from year to year. Rivera must meet certain criteria, like maintaining a grade point average above a 2.0, in order for his scholarship to be renewed each year. “If I didn’t have the scholarship, I probably wouldn’t be able to go to college,” he said. Rivera added that his extended family pushed him to search for scholarships during his college application process, and is aware budget cuts could worsen the availability of financial aid. Current freshmen were more affected than ever by the recession, according to the survey. More than half of the freshmen surveyed took out loans to help pay for their education, in addition to those receiving scholarships and grants . John Nametz, director of student financial aid , said he saw a “dramatic increase” in

the number of students submitting a Free Application for Federal Student Aid form in the past two years. “I don’t think it’s just our freshmen,” he said, adding the recession is impacting returning students as well. “I think it’s a collision between the economy, tuition increases, higher costs in travel, concern or fear for the future,” Nametz said. “We just don’t know.” Results of the survey showed that 62.1 percent of freshmen said the current economic atmosphere affected their college selections . “Financial aid is important to not only attract students to the university, but for being accessible to students from all socio-economic backgrounds,” said Emily Fritze, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona .

Women who combine a vegetable-rich diet with a medical regime could have a lower recurrence rate for breast cancer. The Arizona Cancer Center received a $3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study a compound naturally found in broccoli to determine whether it enhances the benefits of the breast cancer drug, tamoxifen. The purpose of the study, called the Diindolylmethane Efficacy (DIME) study, is to see how the compound in broccoli interacts with tamoxifen, said Cynthia Thomson, an associate professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the UA. Tamoxifen is the first drug widely used to affect exposure to hormones such as estrogen. More than 70 percent of all breast cancers are stimulated in an estrogen-rich environment, Thomson said.

money expires TOMORROW.

If you or someone you know has breast cancer and is taking tamoxifen, call 520-321-7748 to participate in the DIME study. With the grant the center will launch a new study based off research from a previous study where women went on a diet high on cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, while taking tamoxifen. The women were observed to have a lower recurrence rate, which meant that breast cancer was less likely to return after being treated.

BROCCOLI continued from page 1 rate that was approximately 40 percent lower than women who ate lower amounts of vegetables, she said. “Tamoxifen affects the breast as well as some other tissues in the body, but it’s what we call a selective estrogen receptor modulator,” she said. “In other words, it doesn’t affect all the estrogen receptors throughout the body, it just targets certain ones, but most importantly it targets breast estrogen levels.” Thomson has set a goal to recruit 170 participants who are currently taking tamoxifen. “We knew that if we really wanted to make a recommendation that women should consume this compound, that we needed to test it in a randomized trial,” Thomson said. Participants of the blind study will be required to take either a placebo or the dietary supplement diindolylmethane, also known as DIM, Thomson said. They will take the supplements twice a day for 18 months, said Julie West, a research specialist in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the UA. “The whole purpose is just testing whether or not it can enhance the effect of the tamoxifen,” West said. DIM is a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Thomson said. The methane compound, which is found in broccoli, cauliflower, kale and brussel sprouts, is what makes them gas-forming vegetables. “This is one of those vegetables, and it has shown to

have cancer-preventive activity,” she said. In addition to taking a pill, the participants will also have breast imaging done at the beginning, middle and ending stages of the study, Thomson said. They will also have their blood drawn at four different times. The study procedures will look at how much tamoxifen is circulating in the blood. Breast density will also be observed, as it is a risk factor for breast cancer, Thomson said. The study will also examine how someone’s risk for breast cancer has changed.“If I can reduce your breast density, then

ASUA continued from page 1 Downs to campus in the year 2013. Since the event was moved to Rillito Downs in 2000, due to construction of the Manuel E. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center, there has been a decline in attendance and corporate sponsorships and an increase in facilities costs, according to Steinke. The choice of 2013 instead of sooner is to give everyone involved enough time to transition and plan, Fritze said. According to the projected budget, Fritze said she believes the move back to campus would be cheaper. She anticipates the largest obstacle as working with neighborhood associations. Fritze said they would be working to identify leaders from neighborhood associations to be a part of the process. In regards to parking for the event, it will be set up the same as event parking for things such as football games. “We’ve actually spoken with Parking and Transportation (Services), and

that should reduce your risk for breast cancer,” Thomson said. “If I can improve to reduce your hormone levels, then that should reduce your risk of breast cancer.” In addition, if there is a favorable change in tamoxifen metabolites in someone’s urine, breast cancer risk can also be lessened. These are intermediate indicators of reduced risk which allow for shorter studies, less people and generally the same results, she said. “The study is testing to see if indeed we are able to see a measure of beneficial effect in change in characteristics of breast tissue,” West said.

we’ve been assured there is a way to go about this,” Fritze said. “We’ve talked to them and they seem pretty open to the idea.” In addition to collaborating with PTS, the change would also call upon working with University of Arizona Police Department, Risk Management and Safety, Facilities Management and the Disabilities Resource Center. “It’s a U of A tradition that started here and we want to make sure that it’s really U of A focused,” Steinke said. The shift would eliminate third party members for facilities and give students easier access. The UA focus would also open marketing options, Steinke said, noting there has been talk of doing a throwback to sage and silver, the UA’s original colors, and having Wilbur and Wilma on the event posters. Sen. Dominick San Angelo said that as a native Tucsonan who attended Spring Fling in past years, he did not know for a long time that the UA was connected to the event. San Angelo also said that as a Sam Hughes Neighborhood resident and homeowner he was in favor of the event.

Gunman shoots four in U.S. military bus at German airport McClatchy Newspapers

FRANKFURT, Germany — A gunman opened fire on a bus at Frankfurt’s airport on Wednesday, killing two U.S. airmen and wounding two others, German authorities said. Police suspect a 21-year-old Kosovo-born man was behind the attack on a military bus that was taking the airmen to Ramstein Air Force Base, apparently after some kind of dispute. It was not immediately clear if the gunman’s motive was political. The assailant ran from the scene, but was overpowered and arrested by police in the nearby airport terminal. Both German Chancellor Angela Merkel and U.S. President Barack Obama voiced shock. The attacker shot three U.S. Air Force military policemen and the bus driver in the incident. About 12 military police who had just arrived on a commercial flight from London were on the bus. U.S. European Command in Stuttgart confirmed the deaths but did not release the names of the victims, pending family notification. Boris Rhein, interior minister of Hesse state, where the attack occurred, said the suspect first spoke to an airman standing outside the bus before shooting. He then shot the bus driver, Rhein told Germany’s Hessischer Rundfunk television. There was no indication why the assailant was carrying a pistol. German gun laws license very few people to walk around armed. But a German news website, Spiegel Online, said investigators presumed the gunman was deliberately seeking members of the U.S. armed forces as victims. It added that he had been carrying extra ammunition. The Frankfurt

police would not confirm the report. Over recent years, German police had foiled every one of several Islamist plots aimed against U.S. servicemen on German soil. Rhein said the suspect had roots in Kosovo and lived in the Frankfurt area. He was interrogated for hours by police. The bus passengers were on their way to deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, with orders to fly from nearby

Ramstein Air Force Base, the biggest U.S. military airfield in Europe, Air Force spokesman Wolfgang Hofmann said. All were members of the Security Forces, the military police section of the Air Force, and had been based at Lakenheath, England. At the scene, Rhein stressed that he was not using any words to suggest it was a terrorist attack and was calling the incident a homicide only, but added, “At the moment, I don’t rule anything out.”

Human sexuality class includes graphic demonstration McClatchy Newspapers CHICAGO — Northwestern University acknowledged Wednesday that an unusual demonstration was held on campus last week in which students observed a woman being penetrated by a sex toy. The university will pay the man who arranged for the demonstration, which was held in front of about 100 students attending psychology professor J. Michael Bailey’s human sexuality class. The demonstration occurred after class and was optional. Bailey occasionally holds lectures, demonstrations and other activities after class, and on Feb. 21, he invited Ken Melvoin-Berg, a Chicago tour guide, to discuss human sexuality, fetishes and female orgasm. After an initial discussion at Ryan Auditorium, the class was told that a couple were going to demonstrate the use of a sex toy. “Both Professor Bailey and myself gave them five or six warnings about what was about to happen and it would be graphic,” Melvoin-Berg told The Chicago Tribune. The woman undressed and got on stage with her male partner, who then penetrated the woman with the device. “It was a fun and educational experience,” Melvoin-Berg said. The students, he said, “seemed to be incredibly pleased. We had a number of them that got closer and closer.” Melvoin-Berg said he typically gets paid $300 to $500 for an hour-long lecture, but he declined to say how much Northwestern has agreed to pay him. Spokesman Al Cubbage confirmed that the university has agreed to pay.

LOS ANGELES — The public unraveling of Charlie Sheen, having run through seemingly every other forum in Los Angeles, has rolled into Superior Court. A judge issued a temporary restraining order Tuesday, stripping the troubled — a term that appears increasingly inadequate — television star of contact with his two youngest children and barring him from coming within 100 yards his estranged wife. The action by Judge Hank Goldberg came after Sheen’s estranged wife, Brooke Mueller, filed a declaration chock-full of accusations against Sheen that might have dropped jaws a month ago but now seemed merely a confirmation of the bizarre and menacing personality on display in his nonstop media appearances. “I am very concerned that (Sheen) is currently insane,” Mueller wrote in the declaration, which included numerous claims of criminal conduct such as allegations the actor discussed using child-support money to “knock off” enemies and that he threatened to stab her in the eye with a pen knife. Los Angeles police said they were not investigating the accusations and considered the matter one for family court. Police were summoned Tuesday night to Sheen’s home when his twin toddler sons were handed over to Mueller. A hearing is set for March 22. Lawyers for Mueller and Sheen did not immediately return calls for comment.

Sheen told reporters at an impromptu predawn news conference outside his home Wednesday that the restraining order “came out of the bleachers” and addressed his 2-year-old sons, Bob and Max, saying, “You are in my heart and I love you.” Among Mueller ’s allegations about Sheen: —He threatened to kill her repeatedly, including Sunday night when he told her, “I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom!” —Called his manager, Mark Berg, a “stoopid jew pig” and talked about killing him. —Told airplane passengers during a recent trip to the Bahamas that he hated actress Denise Richards, his former wife, and was going to have her head shaved. —Told Mueller during a rant in the Bahamas, “I’m untouchable! I’m Charlie Sheen! I’m more famous than Obama!” Mueller and Sheen separated after a domestic violence incident in Aspen, Colo., in 2009, but she and their children moved back into the actor ’s home a few months ago, a decision Mueller described as “a big mistake” in her declaration. According to the filing, Sheen shares the home with a porn star and a girlfriend. “I made a big mistake,” wrote Mueller, who like Sheen has struggled with addiction. She acknowledged she “fell off the wagon” last week “in conjunction with (Sheen’s) girlfriend.” She said she was too afraid to return to her Los Angeles home.

New bills don’t limit abortion; they just make it worse Heather Price-Wright Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

t seems silly to keep writing about the Arizona Legislature as if it were a legitimate lawmaking body, rather than, as I’m beginning to suspect, some vast experiment in performance art. But a bill passed Monday in the state House of Representatives became part of a recently reignited national trend to make abortion as difficult to access and uncomfortable to undergo as possible. Because, you know, it used to be fun. Therein lies one of the most awful aspects of the Republican Party’s recent assault on women’s reproductive rights. Newsflash, GOP: Abortion isn’t enjoyable. No woman wakes up in the morning thinking, “You know, today I think it’d be a blast to terminate a pregnancy.” But it is legal, under federal law. And just like any other patient undergoing any other procedure, women receiving legal abortions have the right to a safe experience that limits physical and psychological damage as much as possible. The Arizona Legislature doesn’t seem to think that’s the case. House Bill 2416 would require doctors to offer women the opportunity to see an ultrasound image and hear the heartbeat, if audible, of the fetus at least an hour before the abortion is performed. This seems reasonable at first, but the law itself would be unnecessary, and its motives cruel. Lawmakers don’t have to require doctors to perform ultrasounds before an abortion; a qualified medical team would do so only if it were medically necessary to ensure the procedure would be safe for the woman. It’s not up to the Legislature, with little medical knowledge, to decide what medical procedures should be mandatory. Politicizing the way a medical process is performed has the potential to make it more difficult and more expensive to obtain that process. But the really brutal aspect of the bill comes with the stipulation that doctors must at least offer women the chance to see the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat. The motivation for that, as has been the case in several other states proposing such measures, is to dissuade women from having their abortions at the last minute. Again, this constitutes an infringement on doctors’ ability to do their job well. The decision to undergo an abortion should be between a woman, those close to her and her physician, and legislative meddling gets in the way of that very important relationship. Moreover, much as these lawmakers want to pretend otherwise, women are still going to get abortions no matter what hoops they’re made to jump through. All this law would do is make women more likely to endure intense depression and guilt about their abortions. This seems to be just what the lawmakers are hoping, and that is sick. Stigmatizing women who receive abortions, and attempting to make a difficult decision even more painful and dangerous, is a despicable way to go about making a political statement. Many “pro-life” legislators cite their faith as the reason for their opposition to abortion. But any faith tradition I know of, when stripped of the pollution of politics and hate, would first and foremost advocate respect, humanity and dignity for all people, understanding of differences, and above all, love. Alienating women who make a choice with their own bodies, and attempting to make their lives as miserable as possible, upholds none of these values. — Heather Price-Wright is the assistant arts editor for the Daily Wildcat.

MAILBAG States first, country second

When the United States formed, it was the states first and the Union second. The Union was supposed to be a convenience for states in order to protect their common interests from outside threats and to provide an area of free trade. The Union wasn’t supposed to pull it down into a fiscal nightmare or to overreach its constitutional limits. But it has. The Supremacy clause didn’t mean that the federal government could just run right over the will of the states. And that’s what now happens. The federal government tells or tries to tell the states exactly what to do about everything, far beyond its constitutional powers. It’s (trying) to kill federalism. The Union will be worthless when the parts that constitute the whole lose their power. The “sovereign” states will no longer be sovereign. A major check on the federal government will be lost. And local government, which is most responsive to the people’s interests, will be all but finished. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” The 10th amendment no longer means anything to the federal government. But it still does to many

Arizonans. We have powers that the federal government has tried to usurp. This whole mess in Arizona you’re complaining about all began when the federal government failed to hold up its constitutionally mandated responsibility of protecting the states from foreign invasion (Article IV, Sect 4). Arizona has been forced to assert its constitutionally guaranteed power and sovereignty to force the federal government to get its act together. I remember when people used to have pride in their independent “wild west” Arizona where people were be free do to do as they chose. People had pride in this. I don’t know what happened to Tucson that you’ve turned your back on state pride. But alas, this is a free state still, so if you want out, hit the road. I know that “ … the heavily liberal population of Southern Arizona is fed up with Republican-dominated state politics,” as you say, so feel free to leave this democracy and form your own. It’s more respectable (marginally) at least than the abomination that is the situation in Wisconsin. I know Arizona has already dug its own fiscal hole (although it pales in comparison to the federal government) and it needs to get that ironed out but bitching about how Maricopa County has

Letters from

all the power won’t help you. There’s a reason. It’s because that’s where people live. A great percentage of them. And last time I checked, majorities still got to make legislation. “Baja Arizona” would be so small that it wouldn’t have any legislative power nationally anyway. Its revenue would be minuscule and it would probably succumb to the same financial pitfalls our worthless politicians have gotten us into nationally and on the state level. I’m sure Arizona, or Maricopa County as you all would suggest, will lose this federalism fight, but I’d rather go down swinging then succumb like a bunch of sissies. I wouldn’t want to dishonor our 100 years of history like that. Oh by the way, I know you’re fans of West Virginia’s moves and of certain clauses of the constitution. How about this one? Here is some Article IV, Sect. 3 action for you, “New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.” — Danee Garone Arizona State University student

Drunk dude H

ey, boy, hey. I bet you thought you were going to go by undetected after last week’s drunk girl column, but guess again, homeboy. Drunk guys are equally as predictable and humorous as drunk girls. The only difference is I do not need to teach you how to operate, you’ve already got your drunk boy routine on lock. You first start the night with your favorite jams. Depending on the kind of night you are looking to have, you choose either the “bro’in out” or “ho’in out” radio station on fratmusic.com. The radio stations aren’t as good as the beloved playlists, but they’ll get the job done. When no one is looking, you get some bro-nods and fist pumps in, and before you know it, you’re ready for a night you won’t remember. Early on, you limit yourself to a few beers. Although you do not intend on getting out of control tonight, you are not one to resist ladies beckoning you to take shots. Balls to the wall, right? Immediately you

decide to use the long line of alcoholism in your family to your advantage tonight. You take each shot like a champ and high-five everyone afterward. Spitting game comes second nature to a playboy like you. Swaying, seeing double or better yet, puking? It doesn’t matter; nothing can stop you. You are on fire. Every lady at the party wants a piece of you. Well, not exactly but that is what you have convinced yourself. With the confidence of the Old Spice man, it is your duty to make sure you fulfill these ladies’ wishes by grinding with them on the dance floor. When you come across a honey that strikes your fancy, you look to your vocabulary to help you out with the perfect pet name. If you know what’s up, you choose either “baby” or “shorty.” Now that you’ve showed her you care with the affectionate namecalling, it is time to make your move. This move will likely be a sloppy kiss or an attack on her ear. Either

way, she is definitely going home with you tonight. Well played. Now that you’ve secured the honey(s), you are ready to celebrate. Depending on your location, you either graciously buy a round for your lady and her friends or you take a few shots of Popov. The night is yours, and you are going to drink to it. That is until someone challenges your machoness after beating you at beer pong or scamming on your newfound lady. You didn’t want it to come to this (who are you kidding? Yes, you did. You haven’t been getting swoll for nothing), but it looks like there’s going to be a brawl. You say a few choice words, and your blood is pumping. You hear the Rocky theme song in the background, but just as you start to raise your fist your homeboy holds you back. What are homies for if not to save you from a publicly humiliating ass whooping? No biggie. The night goes on

and you still look fly as hell. So fly, in fact, that if you wanted to pee outside on a building or fence nobody would even think twice about stopping you. You are a man; you don’t need to be confined to a bathroom. You are going to do the party a favor by leaving your mark, or name written in pee, on the back fence. Now that your business is taken care of, it is time for another beer. As you continue to drink, two things become apparent — you will awkwardly be half naked while everyone is still fully dressed and you will forget your lady friend in the pursuit of food. Don’t ask how or why, just go with it. Remember, if you make it home with a Highland burrito or Pita Pit, the night will be considered a great success. The shorty is just an added bonus. — Mallory Hawkins is a communication senior. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

UAPD, ASUA team up for Spring Break Safety Fair By Lucy Valencia Arizona Daily Wildcat In preparation for Spring Break from March 12 to 20, the University of Arizona Police Department, Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the UA Parents and Family Association are collaborating to host the annual Spring Break Safety Fair on March 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on the UA Mall. A variety of booths, demonstrations and interactive activities will be available to equip students with safety information if traveling during the break. Particularly, UA officials are urging students planning a trip to Mexico for break to heed current travel warnings in border areas. Jason Casares, assistant dean of students and campus safety coordinator, sent an email to the UA student body advising them to heed the recent Mexico travel warning placed into effect by the Department of State on September 10 of last year. “If you choose to travel to Mexico for spring break,” he wrote, “I urge you to familiarize yourself with information and the following resources, tips and suggestions to increase your safety.” Representatives from the United States Consulate to Mexico, United States Customs and Border Protection will be on hand to answer common travel and safety-related questions.

We want everybody to stay smart and stay alive this Spring Break.” The cost of the Spring Break Safety Fair is estimated at $1,500, according to Elyachar. The event will include free food and live music. ASUA put all of its safety budget money towards the event, $750 in total, according to ASUA President Emily Fritze. The rest of the funds came from a grant proposal, the Arizona Student Unions and contributions from UAPD.

RECESSION continued from page 1 cial aid, and said a reduction in financial aid combined with rising tuiton and fees “is a double-hit to students.” “The universities are in a very tough position,” Fritze said. “It’s important to have that pool of money available.” Nametz said one of his biggest concerns is the rising number of students asking for further revision of their financial aid status, specifically how that number has grown within the last two years. He said he was especially surprised when he looked at numbers in October 2009 and compared them to the previous year. The number of students asking for an additional look at their financial situation had shot up 50 percent. “I had students coming in and saying things like, ‘I don’t have enough money,’ ‘I have a problem, my dad lost his job,’ or ‘My mom’s out of work,’” he said. Nametz also said he has heard of students who were not in dire need of financial aid applying “just in case.” Though Nametz avoided classifying a “middle income” group, since it is hard to define, he said non-needy students falling anywhere between the $60,000 to $150,000 income range are applying for financial aid because they might need money to fall back on. These students are not low-income, but may need money to buy textbooks, pay rent or make it through the year without financial issues. Elma Delic, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association, said the overall state of financial aid is an issue “because

of the 63 percent increase in tuition and fees over the past three years.” ASA sent out a survey last semester to all students at the UA and Arizona State University. Of the 11,043 students who responded, 56.82 percent said they were financing college through financial aid. “Students are looking to financial aid more than ever right now,” Delic said. Nametz said the recession affects more than just freshmen. “I do not segregate the group when I see these statistics,” Nametz said. “I’m more interested in everybody than just the freshmen. It’s changed my whole dynamic as to how much money I can make sure I put aside for those kind of emergency cases.” ASUA and the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid are collaborating to offer a free financial aid and scholarship workshop on Thursday, “given that UA is predicted to incur immense budget cuts,” according to an email sent out to students by ASUA Sen. Mary Myles. The workshop will be held in the Catalina Room of the Student Union Memorial Center. The first session will be held from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and the second from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Students are encouraged to bring laptops if they plan on filling out FAFSA forms. “If they start cutting a lot more, a lot of students that can barely afford it, like me, are gonna have to leave,” Rivera said. “I’d have to go to a community college that would be more within my means. That’s something I really don’t want to do because I love the UA.”

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Vaporizer glitch

Three male UA students were arrested for possessing a vaporizer and marijuana on Feb. 25 at 7:29 p.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall at 7:12 p.m. after a report of marijuana odor coming from one of the rooms. The officer met with two resident assistants, who escorted the officer to the room that smelled of marijuana. The officer knocked on the door, after also detecting a faint odor of marijuana, and met with one of the residents. The officer asked to enter the room and the resident stepped aside for the officer. There were two other students in the room — the roommate and a resident from down the hall. The officer asked the students if they knew why the officer was called to their room. The first resident pointed to a large plastic bag attached to a plastic mouthpiece sitting on a desk. “That,� said the resident before pointing to another plastic bag on the bed. “And that.� The officer asked what the bags were and as the resident picked up the bag to show him, a few pieces of marijuana fell from the bag onto the floor. The resident explained that the bags were mouthpieces used to smoke from a vaporizer. He then showed the officer the vaporizer on the desk behind the plastic bag. All three students admitted to using the vaporizer to smoke marijuana and that they use s vaporizer because it eliminates the odor of burning marijuana. The officer asked the students for any other marijuana or paraphernalia in the room. A resident yielded a light bulb that was used to smoke marijuana and a blue plastic cup that contained the remnants of marijuana smoked in the vaporizer. The officer also found two blunts on the desk shelf. The officer arrested the three students for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The group was cited and released. The officer also submitted a code of conduct referral to the Dean of Students Office. The marijuana in the blue cup weighed 31.2 grams.

Home-wrecker turned office-wrecker

A UA employee reported receiving 10 harassing phone calls at work on Feb. 25 between 10:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. The employee said her husband had an affair with another woman the previous year. She told the officer that she had changed her personal phone number after receiving numerous harassing phone calls from the woman. The woman called the employee’s direct UA phone number around ten times on Feb. 25, the employee said. The woman boasted and antagonized the employee about stealing the employee’s husband. The employee said that the number the woman was calling from was restricted, so the employee let the calls go straight to voice mail. The woman then called the main number of the employee’s office, and the employee told the woman to stop contacting her. Although the woman’s calls have ceased, the employee decided to report them to UAPD. The officer contacted the woman who antagonized the employee and recorded the conversation. The woman admitted to calling the employee only twice, which conflicted with the employee’s story. The woman said she was calling the office to complain. The officer advised the woman to stop contacting the employee and the woman agreed to do so. The woman said she would report any contact made by the employee in the future to UAPD.

A school bus driver was trapped in a bus in the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage on Feb. 25 at 10:33 a.m. A UAPD officer responded to the parking structure and made contact with the bus driver. The Scottsdale Unified School District bus was wedged under two directional parking signs but was able to move. The bus driver entered the garage from the west entrance, turned north, then hit a sign hanging from the ceiling. The driver wanted to back up and exit, but other cars wouldn’t allow the bus to move. The bus proceeded forward hitting two more signs and a drainpipe. There was visual damage to both signs and the pipe but it was hard to tell what was new damage because the signs are frequently hit. Maintenance personnel responded to the garage to remove a drainpipe to allow the bus to exit. The pipe was removed and the bus exited the garage without incident. Photos of the damage to the bus and signs were entered into UAPD property as evidence. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Arizona Commons Why are you Gene Simmons today? Cuz’ Arizona rocks! We are promoting, trying to get people to come. Favorite Gene Simmons song? “I Wanna’ Rock n’ Roll All Night.” What is something you do when nobody is looking? Sometimes I’m on Facebook at work. How would you feel if Gene Simmons ran for presidential office? I would vote, hell yeah. He’d rock this country out. Who would you want in office, if anyone? Gene Simmons! He’s my guy, man, come on. Do you believe that Jay-Z is a devil worshipper? Have you heard that rumor? I would think more Kanye West. What he did to Taylor, that was messed up, very rude. I’m from the stuff so I can’t stand rudeness. Rudeness … me and you are not going to be friends. Do you think that people are generally too uptight these days? Yes, very much so. They need to be more laid back, relaxed, take life as it comes, live every day as a gift so … Like Gene? Like Gene! Every day is a gift; laid back, don’t worry the stress of every single thing. People stress way too much these days, it’s like something’s in the air. Things have changed in the past 20 years.

Never list ‘God’ as a reference on a resume Advice for a successful job search often includes the tip that it is who, rather than what, you know. Let’s hope that explains some of the results from a study by an international recruitment agency that said one job seeker submitted a resume citing “God” as a professional reference, while another was written in rhyme. Recent global surveys by CareerBuilder.com and its British partner CareerBuilder.co.uk have revealed some of the more unusual resumes received by employers. Across the United States, hiring

managers revealed that one applicant included “God” as a reference — but did not include a contact phone number for verification. Another hopeful candidate claimed to be a direct descendant of Vikings; one listed “Master of Time and Universe” under experience; another used an e-mail address that included the word “lovesbeer.” Europeans applied similar unconventional approaches to employment, according to the survey. One resume was written in rhyme, while another included only

Wildcats playing for Pac-10 Icecats dissatisfied with season despite position in Oregon winning record

Arizona barely misses playoffs By Kyle Arps Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Head coach Niya Butts, middle, has been making her case all season that the Wildcats are a contender in the Pacific 10 Conference. Arizona, currently in fourth in the Pac-10, can solidify its top-half finish with wins over Oregon State and Oregon this weekend.

Arizona looks to continue its hot streak as it closes out the regular season By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat For a team that was once looking down at what appeared to be another lost season, something has finally clicked again for Arizona women’s basketball. And it’s come at the perfect time. After winning their last four out of five, including upsetting rival ASU at home on Feb. 13, the Wildcats (17-10, 8-8 Pacific 10 Conference) have been playing with more passion and emotion than they have had in years. With the trip to the Oregon schools looming this weekend, the Wildcats need to come out with the same verve that they’ve been playing with since their meeting with the Sun Devils. Head coach Niya Butts knows how important this weekend is to her team’s conference positioning and has stressed how the mo-

mentum has to carry over toward Oregon. “I hope it stays on,� Butts said. “That’s a long flight to the northwest, so we have to make sure that we stay focused on what we need to do. “I think (the team) understands how important (tonight) is to our ultimate goal.� That ultimate goal is postseason success and an eventual NCAA Tournament bid, something the program hasn’t received since the 2004-05 season. With the Wildcats planted firmly in the number four spot in the conference — way ahead of seventh, where league coaches slated them in the preseason poll — a pair of Arizona wins this weekend could position the team quite comfortably in the Pac-10 tournament. The Wildcats face the Oregon State Beavers (9-18, 2-14 Pac-10) tonight,

and with the grinding half-court offense that OSU employs, it could be difficult for Arizona to keep its uptempo style of play consistent. “When they’re playing that zone (defense), they’re going to press you all game long and make you slow it down.� Butts said. “Our game is more up-tempo, so we’re going to try to stay true to that as much as we can.� Last time out, Arizona was able to fend off a tough Beaver offense and managed to seal the 67-65 victory. In that contest, senior forward Ify Ibekwe and junior guard Shanita Arnold stole the spotlight. Ibekwe’s double-double cleaned the glass with 10 rebounds and posted 16 points on the scoreboard, and Arnold added another 17 points to the Arizona total. For the Beavers, Alyssa Martin contributes 12.6 points per game, while El Sara Greer paces with team with 8.3 rebounds.

Entering the 2010-2011 campaign, hopes were high for a berth in the American Collegiate Hockey Association’s national tournament, but the Icecats fell just short. The Icecats (14-13-2) finished the year ranked No. 22 in the country, but only the top 16 make it into the playoffs. “It’s a little disappointing with not making the national tournament,� said Icecat forward Eric Watters. Since the Icecats are an independent team, they would have to be ranked in the top 12 to make it into the tournament because the 13-16 seeds are automatic bids and go to conference champions, according to Icecat head coach Leo Golembiewski. He also noted that the tournament format is changing. So next season, if the Icecats make it into the 13-16 seeds, there would be a playin game against a conference champion to make it into the national tournament. However, the Icecats had chances to be ranked in the top 12 as they lost six games by one goal, including a shootout loss. If the Icecats did not lose those close games, which included top-10 teams, they would have had a lot more of an argument for a national tournament bid, finishing the season at 21-8. “It was a streaky season,� Golembiewski. “Win five, lose four, but all in all, we have to work on consistency.� Consistency was a big theme for this year ’s Icecat team.

“We were up and down,� said Icecat captain and graduating senior Jordan Schupan. “We beat the No. 5 team, and then we would stutter against some lesser opponents.� The season felt like a “roller coaster,� according to Brian Slugocki, one of the team’s leading scorers. “The year started out strong with a lot of promise, but we had some injuries that made it tougher to win.� Slugocki said. “We did win some tough games and definitely lost some games that should have been wins.� The Icecats chalked up big victories against Colorado State, Adrian and Rutgers, but gave up close losses to ASU, Minot State and NAU. “I think (the season) was a great turnaround for the team in the context of what we did last year,� Golembiewski said. “We had a really solid team effort throughout the season.� The players strive to be positive, keep their heads up and look ahead to next season because at this point, it is all they can do. “We are going to be stronger next year,� Golembiewski said. The players also take some things away from this past season. “Overall it was a good learning experience for me,� Slugocki said. “I’m looking forward to next year.� The Icecats will be without seniors Jordan Schupan, Micah Kneeshaw and Nick Taylor next season. “I think they are going to do really well,� Schupan said. “I just wish the best of luck to everyone.�

Trouble in the ‘pen

Arizona bullpen struggles for second night in a row, surrenders 10 runs including eight runs in the fifth inning By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The No. 17 Arizona baseball team entered its series against the Rice University Owls with questions about its bullpen, but it left with resounding concerns. Arizona (6-2) dropped the second game of a two-game set to Rice (6-4) 11-7 after the bullpen walked nine batters in six innings of work, including the Owls’ 8-run fifth. “The hard part about a midweek series is that you have to find some answers to questions,” said head coach Andy Lopez. “We got some answers, but not really the ones you want. It’s just who can go out there and throw a strike. I like to be optimistic. It was a battle of a lack of pitching depth.” Geoff Perrott led off the Rice fifth with a solo homerun, and reigning National Player of the Year Anthony Rendon plated three Owls with a triple down the right field line that got just past right fielder Robert Refsnyder. Catcher Jett Bandy called that the turning point of the game. “(Rendon) is a really good player. That’s one of the toughest plays to make as an outfielder,” Bandy said. “That was a great effort by Robert (Refsnyder), and I guarantee he makes that play nine times out of ten.” Kyle Simon had his third start of the year, going three innings and allowing a run in the first — while working on a pitch count of about 45 — before giving way to Vincent Littleman and the Arizona bullpen. Littleman walked two and gave up five earned runs in 1.2 innings of work, and freshman James Farris didn’t record an out while walking three and giving up three earned. Bandy said that gaining experience is key for the young Arizona bullpen. “You just really need to calm them down and talk about locating (pitches),” Bandy said. “They need to relax.

GAME STATS

Walk-on Lavine marking her territory By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Since 2007, the number seven jersey has been associated with shortstop K’Lee Arredondo . Even after her graduation, the jersey number is still associated with the Arizona softball shortstop position, something that the current number seven didn’t expect. Walk-on Alex Lavine didn’t think she would be playing softball — let alone starting — at the college level. But Lavine is making the biggest impact on the Wildcat line-up, beating out three other players to claim the shortstop position for head coach Mike Candrea . She wasn’t Arizona’s biggest 2011 recruit. In fact, she wasn’t even recruited at all. Arizona was always Lavine’s first choice, but there were no calls at the end of her senior season. “I always really wanted to go here, but no one ever really said I could,” Lavine said. “A couple times, I was like, ‘Oh, God. I don’t know where I’m going to go ,’ because I didn’t believe in myself for a little bit. I really got my mind on track and knew what I wanted — to get here.” The freshman from Glendale, Ariz. , pulled both her hamstrings in her junior year of high school, putting serious doubts on her recruiting campaign. Relations between a former coach and current Wildcat pitching coach Teresa Wilson finally got Candrea’s attention. She chose the unpredictable career at her dream school over offers from Stanford, Washington, Wisconsin, Oklahoma State and Louisville. “When coach Wilson told me she was interested in me walking on, and coach Candrea liked the idea too, I was just like, that’s what I want to do,” Lavine said. “I don’t care about anything else.” Her determination is some-

Beaver trap Wildcats hope to snap three-game losing streak to Oregon State By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Shortstop Alex Lavine has worked her way into the starting lineup, despite not being recruited by Arizona. The walk-on from Glendale, Ariz., has started 12 games for Arizona this season.

thing that Candrea said sets her apart because it changes the way she makes adjustments to the ball, corrects her mistakes and her mindset about each game. “I talked to her and really liked her attitude about the game,” he said. “When I went and watched her play I saw she played the game hard. She practices hard, she plays hard. She’s not scared of anything.” Lavine’s confidence isn’t an intimidating characteristic. In fact, the 5-foot-4 redhead quietly goes through her drills, warm-ups and pre-practice run just like any other player. Although Candrea saw the confidence on the field, Lavine said she struggled with her poise at the beginning of the season. “It was very nerve racking,” Lavine said. “The first time I started, I was really nervous. I was shaking on the field. “Then I got that first ground ball, and I did it. I’ve been doing this all my life. I needed to relax.” Lavine made her Wildcat debut in the third game of the season for Arizona and has started 12 of Arizona’s 14 games overall. Third baseman Brigette Del Ponte said the communication was the biggest adjustment for

Lavine, whose quiet confidence left her silent on the field during games. “Our first few games, they were OK,” Del Ponte said. “We talked to each other and we got our communication down. I’m getting really comfortable with her there.” Less than a month away from Pacific 10 Conference play, Candrea said he’s comfortable in naming her Arizona’s starter at shortstop. “She deserves to be there,” Candrea said. “She’s not scared of anything. She doesn’t set any boundaries for herself. “She just goes out and plays the game and works hard every day and controls the things she’s got control over and doesn’t worry about anything else.” That characteristic is what kept Lavine focused during a rocky recruitment, an uncertain pre-season line-up and into the starting position on the nation’s No. 4 team . Lavine didn’t know if she would even see playing time this season, but the only player listed as “utility” on Arizona’s roster has proved effective so far. “I’ve been starting on what I think is the best team in the nation,” Lavine said. “It’s my dream coming true, finally.”

Oregon State may be the last team that No. 18 Arizona wants to see with a Pacific-10 Conference championship on the line. The Wildcats need two wins this weekend to cut the nylon on Saturday afternoon at McKale Center. As the Beavers walk into McKale Center tonight with a three-game winning streak against the Wildcats, they could be the team that shatters Arizona’s aspirations for cutting down the nets on Lute and Bobbi Olson Court. The only problem is the last time Arizona beat Oregon State (10-17, 5-11 Pac-10), NBA players Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill were on the Wildcat roster. The Beavers swept the Wildcats last season for the first time since 1983 and gave them their first conference loss this year on Jan. 2. “They’ve beat us three times,” said Sean Miller, who hasn’t beaten OSU. “I wish that I could say that didn’t happen, but they’ve earned all three victories. We’re trying to prevent them from beating us four times.” Despite being ninth in the conference, the Beavers believe in themselves. “They’re just a really confident team,” Miller said. “They may be the most confident team in the Pac-10.” In addition to their recent success against Arizona, Miller said the Beavers’ confidence is apparent in their attitude. “Reading their comments, I’m sure they’re probably guarded coming into this game about being over confident against us,” he added. “I know that was something that they talked a lot about before last game. They’re a confident group of people.” The Beavers’ confidence

stems from the Wildcats struggles against their defense. “Their 1-3-1 has really bothered us,” Miller added. Oregon State has rarely run the 1-3-1 this season and has increased its tempo offensively, but Miller wouldn’t be surprised if it went back to its old ways. “They played their 1-31 more last year as a team. This year they don’t play it as much,” he said. “I’m anticipating they’ll play it a lot against us because they had success against us.” So what does Arizona have to do to break down this 1-31 zone? “Take care of the ball, attack their 1-3-1 zone with more confidence,” Miller said, “making sure that, regardless who we play, we’re ready on our end.” If the Wildcats can snap a three-game losing streak against the Beavers, they will move one game closer to a Pac-10 title and finishing the season with an undefeated record at McKale Center. Arizona is 15-0 at home and has won 16 in a row at home, dating back to last season. The Wildcats lost five games on their home court last season, but this time, protecting their court was a point of emphasis for Miller. “I think it would be special,” Miller said of finishing the season undefeated at home. “The Pac-10 has been in existence for 35 years, and there have only been 25 teams that have been undefeated at home. Finishing the season with an undefeated record at home will signify the rebirth of McKale, after it appeared to lose some of its juice last season. “For us to have a chance to do it says a lot about our crowd,” Miller added. “It says a lot about the atmosphere we have at McKale. It’ll be a compliment to our team.”
