Infant black hole discovery

UA astronomers unlock mysteries of early universe By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA astronomers have discovered what appear to be the two most primitive supermassive black holes in the early universe. The black holes, uncovered with NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, could help scientists understand how black holes form and evolve and how the process relates to the evolution of galaxies and the universe. “Black holes are one of the most fascinating predictions of Einstein’s theory of general relativity,” said Xiaohui Fan, a professor of astronomy at the Steward Observatory. “They are so massive and dense that light can’t escape. These objects provide us important tools to understand the laws of gravity and to probe the evolution of galaxies and evolution of the universe in general.” Linhua Jiang, a postdoctoral astronomy student and research associate at the Steward Observatory, worked with Fan on BLACK HOLE, page 3

Nasser Peyghambarian, an optical sciences professor, is part of research on the future of 3-D technology which will allow the viewer to not wear glasses to see images jumping out at them.

UA researchers seek 3-D technology without 3-D glasses By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Thanks to two UA professors and a number of other researchers, you may be able to watch“Avatar”and other 3-D films with your naked eye in the near future. Leading researcher and professor Nasser Peyghambarian, and assistant research scientist Pierre Blanche are in the process of trying to develop technology that will not require audiences to wear special glasses to watch 3-D films. “It’s a project to make a threedimensional display that wouldn’t require any eyeglasses,”Peyghambarian said. “So if you go, for example, to see

Avatar, you can see that it’s in 3-D, but you need to have eyeglasses. In this case, it would be eyeglass free, so we are working on that aspect of it and also hopefully a better quality with more perspectives than what you see in the movie.” The project uses a plastic material used to make the 3-D display and allows the researchers to do a holographic display. “We wanted to see if it could be done,” Blanche said of the endeavor. “It’s a fantastic project, I’ve loved working on it.” Peyghambarian and Blanche started this research because 3-D has become an important requirement in many applications in recent years,

Peyghambarian said. “There was no technology to allow one to have (3-D) without the eyeglasses, and also, the applications such as tele-presence and conferencing is growing with the Internet becoming more important with everyday life, and it looked like 3-D would be the way of the future, and I think it is,” Peyghambarian said. Peyghambarian believes this research could take a decade or less to reach people’s homes. “Ten years is a good number, but it may be faster. Technology is going so fast it wouldn’t surprise me if you had 3-D displays in your house sooner than that,”Peyghambarian said.

For experimentation, Blanche and Peyghambarian have developed a new photorefractive polymer material that allows them to record, erase and replace 3-D images. This process leads to a series of images that deliver threedimensional action, which can be observed without special eyewear. “We are trying to go faster to achieve a rate where you see the image moving,” Blanche said of the material. “In the first display, we can print an image and, every two hours, print another one,” he added. “Then we wondered how fast we could go with the images.” 3-D, page 3

Footprints challenge theory of evolution By Maura Shea ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As technology continues to advance, so does our understanding of human evolution. Research by UA assistant anthropology professor David Raichlen and his colleagues provide evidence suggesting that 3.6 billion years ago, hominins walked with the same upright gait that humans do today. This challenge of human evolution was created when a trail of fossil footprints conserved in volcanic ash from 3.6 billion years ago was discovered in Tanzania more 30 years ago. In order to determine the significance of the footprints, Raichlen and

his team designed experiments specifically for these footprints. Among Raichlen’s team was Adam Foster, an anthropology graduate student at the UA. Foster explained that this experiment required the team to build a sand trackway resembling the one found in Tanzania. Human subjects were then asked to walk across this track-way with both an erect gait and a crouched gait, similar to one of a chimpanzee. Researchers found that the footprints made by the erect, modern-day gait was the most closely related to the footprint found in Tanzania. But what does this mean for the UA and the anthropology department? “Every faculty output improves the

stature of the university. My research will not do more than that. Everyone contributes to the university as a whole,” Raichlen said. “Everything happens in small steps. This project will lead to many more questions and research. My lab has contributed to research (on) how we came to be and how evolution occurred.” This experiment did not only benefit the UA but will also benefit undergraduate students by offering a rewarding experience. Stephanie Reyes, a biology and anthropology senior, said,“It was very rewarding to get hands-on experience in with this type of project in college.” Foster agrees: “Students can now see that there is exiting research being done

here at the UA and may be able to take part of as an honors student researching their thesis or for educational benefits.” UA student Cody Crocker thought these results might have an impact on his academic career. “As an undecided major here at the UA, I have yet to decide what interests me academically. The discovery that our human ancestors were also bipedal has me intrigued in anthropology. I now aspire to do similar research to discover more history about our ancestors,”Crocker said. The result from this research was published in last Monday’s addition of PLoS ONE, a journal from the Public Library of Science.

UA alum publishes book on Iraq war By Alexandra Newman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Luke Larson, a UA alumnus, released his first novel, “Senator’s Son: An Iraq War Novel” about his experiences as an infantry officer in the Marine Corps. Larson, 28, attended the UA on a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps Scholarship. He graduated with honors and was awarded the captain hardest Mameluke sword, which is given to the top Marine graduate in the UA’s NROTC program. He majored in journalism before heading into the Marine Corps for four years. He served two tours of duty in Iraq during his time in the Marines. His first tour, he said, was very kinetic and involved a lot of fighting. “I wanted to put it down on paper so other military officers could hopefully learn from those experiences and not make the same mistakes that we did,” Larson said. Larson spent four months writing the first draft of his historical fiction novel and spent two years revising and editing it before getting it published. “I really enjoy writing, I always wrote, and that’s what kind of led me to write the book,” he said.

‘Nyet’ to $1 million? Math genius may reject award ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire? Maybe a 43-yearold unemployed bachelor who lives with his elderly mother in Russia — and who won $1 million for solving a problem that has stumped mathematicians for a century. Grigory Perelman can’t decide if he wants the money. “He said he would need to think about it,” said James Carlson, who telephoned Perelman with the news he had won the Millennium Prize awarded by the Clay Mathematics Institute of Cambridge, Mass. Carlson said he wasn’t too surprised by

the apparent lack of interest from Perelman, a reclusive genius who has a history of refusing big prizes. In 2006, Perelman made headlines when he stayed away from the ceremony in Madrid where he was supposed to get a Fields Medal, often called the Nobel prize of mathematics. He remained at home in St. Petersburg instead. As for the new prize, Perelman told a local television station he hasn’t made a decision on whether to accept the money, and that Carlson’s institute will be the first to know when he does.

Sergei Rukshin, Perelman’s high school math teacher, told The Associated Press on Monday that Perelman is still unsure whether to accept it. “I know that this time he is seriously thinking about whether he will accept the prize. He still has some time,”Rukshin said. The awards ceremony is in June. Does Carlson care whether Perelman shows up? “It would be nice,” Carlson said. “But on the other hand, I respect his desire for calm and tranquility.” — The Associated Press

LONDON — Rare antiques from the ancestral home of Diana, Princess of Wales — including a $18 million Rubens portrait from the 17th Century — will be offered for sale this summer, an auction house said Monday. Christie’s auction house said it will sell about $30 million worth of artifacts from Althorp House, in Northamptonshire, central England. Althorp, Diana’s childhood home and the site of her burial following her 1997 death, is now occupied by her brother Earl Charles Spencer. He recently announced his engagement to Lady Bianca Eliot, who will become his third wife. The auction house said the Princess Diana Spencer family hoped to sell off a variety of valuables to invest the funds raised and protect the long-term future of the stately home. While none of the lots were purchased by Diana, many have been in her family for centuries — including the Rubens portrait, “Commander Being Armed for Battle,” owned by the Spencer family since 1802. The portrait was painted in 1613 and 1614 and depicts a bearded man, believed to be the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, being fitted with his armor. “This magnificent work by Rubens is one of the most important works by the artist to remain in private hands in the U.K.,” said Richard Knight, of Christie’s. “It is a museum-quality masterpiece and will have wide international appeal.” Other lots include English and French furniture, a mid-17th Century painting by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri and 19th Century horse-drawn carriages. Christie’s said three auctions will take place in London during the summer. — The Associated Press

Allergies scare unsuspecting students into Campus Health By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Campus Health Services has seen a recent spike in Urgent Care traffic in response to the start of allergy season, said Lisette LeCorgne, a nurse practitioner and coordinator of Urgent Care. “For Urgent Care, we see an increase in visits in March and April and again in September, October and November,” LeCorgne said. “March and April are high months for increased allergens and particulate matter.” LeCorgne believes the increase in the number of allergy cases is due to the pollen in the air and the lack of rain. “A lot of stuff pollinates right now, and we don’t routinely have the rains to wash stuff out of the air, so when stuff pollinates, and it’s windy, it’s like living in a dust cloud,” Lecorgne said. In the current environment, everyone is susceptible to the many irritants. “During allergy season, the high levels of dust or pollen in the air aggravates

These people sometimes go to movies in 3-D, and after a while, they take off their eyeglasses,” Peyghambarian said. “The psychology of the person looking at the 3-D image, the technology is not OK for some people, and these people get dizzy in some cases, so having a technology that doesn’t require eyeglasses is interesting.” The U.S. Air Force and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency are funding the project. “The main thing is if it will work, and how well it will work, and how expensive it will be,” Peyghambarian said of the future of the project.

For Urgent Care, we see an increase in visits in March and April and again in September, October and November.

everybody, it’s not just people who have allergies,”LeCorgne said. It can sometimes take three to five years in a new environment to develop allergies. If a person has never had allergies before, LeCorgne explained, it does not mean they will not develop them. “The higher level of particulate matter in the air is irritating to a lot of people, so it’s important not to get stuck on the thought, ‘Oh gee, I don’t have allergies and have never had them,’” she said. Recognizing the type of irritant and treating it lessens the chances of an infection. Viral infections are typically the first to occur and can be discerned if a fever appears. Infection can last anywhere from three days to two weeks. Bacterial infection would be at the end of the continuum, LeCorgne said.

If someone has a temperature of more than 101 degrees for longer than two weeks, he or she should seek medical attention, she added. Dr. Paul Enright, WebMD’s allergy expert and a UA research professor of medicine and public health, wrote in a recent WebMD report how to manage allergies using over-thecounter medication. “Start by taking an over-the-counter, non-sedating antihistamine, such as generic Claritin or Zyrtec, every morning. If your nose remains congested, add a saline nasal rinse or oral decongestant pill (if you don’t have high blood pressure).You can also take a long-acting decongestant nose spray for a few days, if necessary. If these treatments don’t clear your nasal congestion, ask your doctor about adding a corticosteroid nose spray,”he wrote.

UAccess vs. WebReg

e all know the feeling. It’s 8 a.m. on a Saturday.You’ve just been woken up by the 500 alarms that you set to avoid oversleeping.You rush to your computer and login to your UA account. It seems to take an eternity before the Web page pops up. Then you try to get to WebReg. It takes even longer to load, and your anxiety grows as you wait nervously. For the first few minutes, WebReg is“unavailable at this time,”but then — suddenly — it’s open. You rush to the scroll bar, typing in each class you need. It’s critical to enter them quickly and make no mistakes. Every time you look for something, all kinds of options crowd your screen. For some Miranda Butler courses, you have to scroll through Columnist long lists of classes, desperately searching for the correct time, day and professor you want. It’s especially difficult because the site is packed with eager students just like you, gobbling up class seats at alarming rates and causing the server to lag significantly. Before you know it, there are no available seats for that course you really needed to take. How did this happen? No matter how hard you try, WebReg has let many of us down throughout our years at UA. Why is it, then, that many students are so disconcerted about the new UAccess site? It’s hard to get used to change, but this change is a much-needed one. True, the new UAccess doesn’t have that cool Google Map feature that our old Student Link did. It’s also missing the schedule view that shows classes on a grid, illustrating their times and lengths. Those particular assets were helpful, but the new UAccess makes up for it in a different field: When it comes to perusing, choosing and registering for our classes. If you haven’t played around with the new site yet, it’s easy to reach at uaccess.arizona.edu. Click on“Student Center,”and be sure that you’re logged in with your Net ID. If you want to explore possible courses, click on the green button that says“search for classes.” This link will lead you to a search feature that can be as broad or specific as you like. If you want to view all English classes, just select “English”as the course subject. Or, if you want to find a Chemistry 151 lecture that meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, you can search for that too. Type in Chemistry and 151 in the appropriate boxes, then click“additional course criteria.”The dropdown menu of “course component”allows you to search for lectures only, labs only, or whatever specific part of a class you may need. Similarly, you can search for classes based on the days or times that they meet, and even specify a certain professor. The large amount of options may be overwhelming, but there’s a helpful tutorial video that shows these various ways of searching for classes. If you go to the old Student Link site and click the WebReg tab, you’ll be directed straight to it. The video also shows the absolute best aspect of the new UAccess — the shopping cart feature. The new“shopping cart”takes away nearly all of the stress of our old WebReg system.You can easily plan the classes that you want to take, using the aforementioned search features, and then add them to virtual list called your“shopping cart.”Later, when your particular registration time slot opens, all you’ll need to do is submit this list. From there, the system will enroll you into the courses you’ve selected, assuming that they are open and you are eligible. Doesn’t that sound so much easier than our previous experiences with the WebReg server? In the end, change always requires learning, transition and some getting used to. Just because UAccess looks startlingly different than our old system doesn’t mean that it’s out to ruin our lives. We’ll have to see how registration actually goes when it occurs in mid April, but the new system will help make important choices easier and stressful registration times go much more smoothly. —Miranda Butler is a creative writing sophomore.

Letters to the editor Point of correction

The Veterans Education Transition Services (V.E.T.S.) Office here at the University of Arizona would like to issue a correction to the article on the front page of the Wildcat, “New degree caters to military men,” (March 26) written by Jazmine Woodberry. We find that the Wildcat has done a disservice to both the veterans on campus and service members currently serving by stating that only “military men” are being offered new degree programs here at our university. Perhaps it is a lack of understanding that the author and editors assume the only people in the military are men. The V.E.T.S. Office, on behalf of the veterans at the university, would like to inform the Wildcat and the student population that 20 percent of our current military force is composed of women and that the veterans population is of similar composition. To ignore the contribution and sacrifice that female service members make on a daily basis diminishes the contribution and sacrifice service members make as a whole. Veterans are an eclectic group, composed of every race, creed, age and sex. Here at the UA alone, there are over 800 student veterans on campus, with additional veterans serving as professors, staff and administration. These numbers do not include the many young men and women currently pursuing a commission through the ROTC programs offered at the University. For those that may have more questions about veterans here on campus, volunteer with the many programs being run through the V.E.T.S. Office, Veterans looking for assistance or just a place to relax, please call theV.E.T.S.

High hopes

Opting for Male Studies major

The proposal would also put a tax on the purchase of marijuana. California residents overwhelmed the petition exceeding the required amount of 433,000 signatures by over 250,000. Citizens are not the only ones excited for such an idea. Government officials are more than eager to take this measure in hopes to bridge the state’s immense deficit. Inching further and further away from the Nixon era, when the government demonized marijuana in the United States, society is becoming less scared of the prospect of legal marijuana. Currently prohibition of pot costs the state heaps of money, but legalization combined with taxation will generate plenty of much-needed revenue for California. With the recent pass of the largest health care bill the world has ever seen, history is continuing to be made as California will be the first to legalize marijuana depending on the November 2010 elections. With far more pros than cons, the vast support of Californians, and sturdy government endorsement this bill is sure to pass. After it does, it is only a matter of time before all of America is on board. — Alex Digaudio Psychology freshman

IRAQ continued from page 1

Historical fiction lets soldier tell all

Though the book is categorized as fiction, it’s an accurate account of his experiences in Iraq, all based on true stories. “When I was in Iraq, I kept a diary, and I also wrote a lot of letters home, so I just used the letters and diary as kind of a reference,” he said. He chose to write a section of his book about Pearl Harbor, as a direct tie-in to the UA. “When I was going to school, they built the Student Union (Memorial Center), and while I was still there, it was dedicated to the U.S.S. Arizona,” Larson said. “At the time, I didn’t necessarily appreciate the historical significance of it all, and now that I’ve served I definitely appreciate the significance of Pearl Harbor and the U.S.S. Arizona.” Larson said there is some concern when you’re writing about things, such as military experience, that could be controversial. “When you write in fiction you can kind of tell it like it is and not have to worry about some of the repercussions (you would) if you were to write a non-fiction story,” he said. Larson said he feels his story is a lot more real in some ways

because he was able to speak frankly through fiction. “You can tell a very realistic story where you’re using people’s emotions and thoughts, and you can’t really do that in non-fiction,” he said. Larson said he might have another novel in the works, which would likely be another work of historical fiction. “I am possibly writing another book. I’m not at liberty to talk about what it’s about, but I’m definitely interested in writing more books,” he said. Larson grew up in Washington and attended high school there before coming to the UA. After his two military tours, he now lives in Glendale, Ariz. He is currently part of the MBA program at Thunderbird International, an international business school. “I have an interest in … politics and foreign affairs,” he said. “So I’d be interested in international emerging markets and emerging technologies.” While attending the UA, Larson worked at the Arizona Daily Wildcat as a sales representative and then the sales manager. He said he really enjoyed working there.

Thirst for raw milk grows despite warnings of harmful bacteria By Maureen O’Hagan THE SEATTLE TIMES SEATTLE — Unpasteurized milk is a curious thing. It costs up to $13 a gallon. It says right on the carton: “WARNING: This product ... may contain harmful bacteria.” Yet people are passionate about it. Almost evangelistic. So in early December, when Washington state announced that raw milk from Dungeness Valley Creamery in Sequim was linked with three E. coli cases, the reaction was, well ... emotional. “Lies,”more than one raw-milk drinker posted on the Dungeness dairy’s Web site, in response to the state’s announcement. “Trickery,”another supporter wrote. “Despicable,”wrote a third. Never mind that health authorities like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Mayo Clinic say you shouldn’t drink the stuff. To some, the bad news is evidence of a conspiracy. It involves Big Ag trying to stamp out the little guy, Big Government pushing its way into our kitchens, sleazy lawyers trying to make a buck, and scientists who malign a key to good health. Now, Whole Foods Markets has become a target. The company recently halted raw-milk sales nationwide,saying it needed a “rigorous companywide standard.”It was another sign, one proraw-milk blogger wrote, of the “ever more sinister campaign against food rights.” There are calls for a boycott of the company. Raw milk’s supporters are at once modern-day rebels and throwbacks to an older, simpler time. They are health-food aficionados who dismiss the health authorities. There’s long been a libertarian streak running through the raw-milk crowd. A Christian one, too. Now it’s attracting another demographic entirely: advocates of local food. “It is an emblem of noncorporate food,”best-selling author Michael Pollan, godfather of the local-food movement, wrote in an e-mail to The Seattle Times. Dairymen are seizing that opportunity. Five years ago, there were six licensed raw-milk dairies in Washington; today there are 28. And though Pollan thinks people should be able to eat what they want, he notes there is a disconnect.

Jeff Brown uses an iodine solution and a cloth to clean and sterilize his Jersey cows’ udders on Jan. 12. But cows produce a lot of waste, and central to the raw-milk debate is whether dairy farmers can keep dangerous bacteria under control.

“I think people turn a blind eye to some of the food safety concerns,”he wrote. Indeed, along with the growth in raw milk’s popularity has come a rise in dairyrelated food-borne-illness outbreaks, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer research, advocacy and education organization. Which brings us back to the Dungeness creamery and its owner, Jeff Brown. During a long morning spent milking, soothing and coaxing cows, Brown blasted the government overseers whose actions temporarily disrupted his business. He spoke about freedom. And he said the truth is simple: “Everything God designed is good for you.” People don’t get into the dairy business because of the hours, or the glamour. “My claim to fame is: I’m the world’s slowest milker,” Brown announced proudly. A sturdy man of 58, he loves to talk. He remembers when he was 14, “praying the dairy industry would stay good so I could milk cows.” He started his own farm in 1971 and began contracting with Darigold, which pasteurized and distributed his

milk. But Brown, like dairymen all over the country, worried about declining wholesale prices. “In order to make it, you have to milk a lot of cows and your cow numbers have to constantly be getting bigger,” Brown explained. Otherwise,“your profit margin will continue to shrink.” In order to stick with about 60 cows, Brown saw just one option: sell a “valueadded”product. For years, people had asked Brown if he’d sell his milk straight from the cow, unpasteurized. The heating process kills most disease-producing organisms, but it also changes the taste. With the surge of interest in local food, Brown and his family saw opportunity. They got their raw-milk license in 2006. “Five years earlier, I don’t think the market was there,”he said. Today, the Dungeness creamery is one of the larger raw-milk producers, bottling more than 200 gallons a day. It used to be, you’d have to go directly to the farm or a cooperative “drop site” to buy raw milk. Now it’s increasingly in grocery stores — and it flies out the door. Warning labels don’t hurt sales, Brown said. They’re“a badge of honor.”

policebeat By Bridgette Doran Arizona Daily Wildcat

Random act of slapping

A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived to the Babcock Residence Hall on Thursday at 10:30 p.m. after a student reported that she had been assaulted. The student told the officer that she was in her room at 10:20 p.m. when a blonde woman knocked on her door. Once she answered the door, the woman in the hall asked her name and then slapped her across the face with her right hand. The victim told the officer that she recognized a man standing in the hallway recording the assault with his camera. When the officer went to the room where the resident assistant said the man lived, he was not there. The RA and the officer then went to the room of a resident who was housing a student from out of town for a few days. The man who had recorded the incident answered the door. After the officer asked to see the camera the video was recorded on, the man handed him the camera and said that the video was erased. The woman who slapped the victim was also in the room and was identified by a Washington driver’s license. She was read her rights before being interviewed. The woman said that the friend housing her had been angry with the victim for several months. She had been upset with her because of a previous incident in which she was sent to the hospital after getting hurt and somehow blames the victim. The resident and several friends had been talking about“playing a joke” on the victim and decided to have the visitor knock on her door and then slap her in the face while the man video taped it. After the officer explained the situation to the RA, he said he would refer all students involved in the assault to the Dean of Students. The woman who slapped the victim was arrested for assault and transported to the Pima County Jail.

Smokin’ and walkin’

Two UAPD officers were on patrol on Euclid Avenue and Fifth Street on Thursday at 9:10 p.m. when the officer driving could smell marijuana outside of his opened window. The officers turned around and circled the area until they found the place where the odor smelled the strongest. The officer saw two women walking east toward Euclid Avenue on Fifth Street. As they passed the women, the officer could see they were smoking. When the officer parked the car, he could see a plume of smoke trailing the women and one of the women threw an object on the ground and stomped it. The officer reported that both of the women smelled strongly of marijuana. They both identified themselves with Illinois identification cards. The woman who had thrown the marijuana cigarette on the ground told the officer that she was visiting a friend and got the marijuana from an unknown man. She walked with the other woman up Fifth Street so they could smoke it. The other woman said that the woman with whom she was walking was a friend of her roommate and she did not want the woman to walk alone, so she walked with her while she smoked. She told the officer that she had only had“one puff”of the cigarette. Both of the women were cited and released for possession of marijuana. A one-inch long marijuana cigarette was placed into property as evidence. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

PAC-10 SOFTBALL POWER RANKINGS Touting an impressive 28-3 record, the No. 2 Arizona softball team will open its always-challenging Pacific 10 Conference schedule Thursday at ASU. Here’s a breakdown of the Pac-10 compeition before conference play begins:

No. 1 Washington (28-2)

The defending national champions have yet to be unseated as the No. 1 team in the NCAA. Recording a perfect 18-0 start, pitcher Danielle Lawrie has given pundits little doubt to which Pac-10 team the title goes.

No. 2 Arizona (28-3)

A tandem of strong chemistry and a contributing freshman class has given the Wildcats much optimism going into league play despite nagging injuries. This year, Arizona has the pitching to match a deep offensive line-up. How far will they go?

Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Junior second baseman Bryce Ortega, left, and freshman shortstop Alex Mejia head toward the dugout after connecting to record an out during a 19-0 victory over Wichita State on March 17 at Sancet Stadium. Ortega and Mejia been one of the Pac-10’s best up-the-middle duo through 25 games this season.

Ortega, Mejia gelling up the middle By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez raised some eyebrows when he announced that the player he once deemed the best defensive shortstop he’d ever coached would be moving to second base for a freshman to come in and replace him. But after 25 games, junior second baseman Bryce Ortega and freshman shortstop Alex Mejia are making Lopez look extremely good for making the oncecontroversial move. No. 18 Arizona (20-5, 2-1 Pacific 10) leads the Pac-10 Conference in defensive double plays, with the dynamic duo up the middle as the number one reason why. “They’ve been doing it all year long,” Lopez said of Ortega and Mejia double-play

prowess. “They’re very, very good up the middle with each other. They have a good feel for what they’re doing.” An age-old saying around the diamond is “you can never assume the double play,” but Ortega and Mejia are quickly changing that. When a slow roller is hit toward short, Mejia can be seen turning an infield hit into a spectacular barehanded play. If a rocket is sent to the right side of the infield that has single written all over it, more often than not, Ortega is the one shifting to his left to ultimately make a diving play, only to hop to his feet and put the throw on the money to first just in time to beat the runner. But the transition to become the best upthe-middle duo in the Pac-10 didn’t come as easily as the numbers may suggest. Ortega started all 54 games at shortstop

last year, where he emerged as a top glove in the Pac-10, earning First Team All-Pac-10 honors for his work. After walking on his freshman year, Ortega established himself in the field, so when Lopez asked him to attempt a move to second, the Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., native was a bit surprised. “I was kind of skeptical at first because I know that I can play shortstop and I’ve had more experience than (Mejia),” Ortega said of making the move to second base. “But (Lopez) said … it would make our team better, and I was totally down for that.” Both players tried out second base and shortstop in the fall, and Ortega proved to be the better fit at second. The junior, who started 107 of 108 games at shortstop prior to the 2010 season, swallowed his pride to BASEBALL page 12

Selsky named Pac-10 Player of Week For the third straight week, a Wildcat baseball player was named the Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week. Sophomore right fielder Steve Selsky followed Jett Bandy and Joey Rickard as the latest to earn the award for his performance last week. Selsky hit .500 against the University of New Mexico and the University of Oregon, while adding two home runs, 10 runs scored, eight RBIs, three stolen bases and accumulating a .900 on-base percentage to complete his impressive week at the plate. Selsky’s .450 batting average overall ranks second on the team behind Bandy (.470), and, after last week, he leads the Pac-10 with 49 hits and 35 runs scored

and is in the top five in RBIs (27) and onbase percentage (.516). His right-handed bat was a major catalyst in Arizona’s recent 15-game winning streak. National voters took

notice of the Wildcats during their run, and Arizona is now ranked in the three major college baseball polls. The USA Today/ESPN coaches poll has Arizona in its top 25 for the first time all year at No. 20. Arizona (20-5, 2-1 Pac-10) moved up one spot to No. 18 in Collegiate Baseball’s poll and appears at No. 22 in Baseball America’s rankings. The Wildcats ended their 25-game homestand to open up the year on Sunday and will take on California (12-10, 0-3) in Berkeley, Calif., in a three-game series set to begin on Thursday.

Sophomore forward DJ Shumpert will transfer from the Arizona men’s basketball program, the team announced Monday. Shumpert, who made 10 of his 14 career appearances this season, averaged 0.1 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.2 assists per game in two seasons. The 6-foot-7, 190-pound forward has yet to announce where he will transfer. “DJ Shumpert is a fantastic kid and

With eight players hitting over .300 and a deep, four-player pitching staff, the Bruins, with their NCAA-leading 10 NCAA Championships, are yet another Pac-10 juggernaut that will be a challenge.

No. 9 Stanford (25-4)

The Cardinal went to Super Regional play last year and fell short against — guess who — the Arizona Wildcats. This year, though, they’re off to a fast start behind freshman ace Teagan Gerhart (18-3), sister of former Stanford football running back Toby Gerhart.

No. 11 ASU (31-4)

With 53 home runs on the year, the Sun Devils are the top-scoring team in the nation as of March 21, averaging 8.48 runs per game.

was an exceptional teammate and representative of our basketball program during his two years at Arizona,” head coach Sean Miller said in a press release. “Like a lot of young players, he wants to put himself in a position to have a more significant role as a basketball player in his future. We mutually agreed that pursuing that at another program would be best for him.” Miller added that Shumpert would continue to participate in the team’s offseason training program.

A Tucson local, the Santa Rita High School player was the last Wildcat recruited by former head coach Lute Olson. He is the last in a recent line of UA transfers. Guard Garland Judkins transferred to the University of Texas, San Antonio, in the middle of this season while guard Zane Johnson transferred to the University of Hawaii at the end of last season. Then-freshman Jeff Withey also transferred to Kansas before last year’s season began.

No. 14 California (28-6)

The Golden Bears roll into conference play having gone 8-1 in their past nine games.

No. 25 Oregon (24-5)

Having very few shutouts this year, the Ducks have ground out a solid winning percentage in close games.

Oregon State (19-14)

Yes, the Beavers are in trouble.

Club baseball: For the love of the game By Jaime Valenzuela ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona junior club baseball outfielder Wes Kipley takes off from third base during a 13-3 victory over the ASU Sun Devils’ club team on Saturday.

Wes Kipley, a first baseman and left fielder on the Arizona club baseball team, has been playing baseball since he was 4 years old . Wes’s love of the game started long ago when the ball was on a tee, and has only gotten stronger. Being part of a club baseball team is a lot different from being part of an NCAA baseball team, according to Kipley. “It’s not a job,” Kipley said. “It’s out of love. We love to play baseball.” Kipley is in his second year with the club, and he said his experience with the team has been enjoyable, leading to good play on the field. “(It’s) awesome,”Kipley said of being a part of the club.“We hang out on weekends. Everybody gets along, and when we come together we play the best.” For the most part, Kipley has played left field, but an injury to the rotator cuff in his right shoulder earlier in the year prompted his move to first. “You have to stay more involved with the game and know (the) different signs,” Kipley said. “In the outfield, you get to hang out and it’s a little easier. (Playing first) you get to interact with the players, and I’m a talker. So it’s fun.” Though Kipley loves baseball, his focus is on school. He is an architecture major, and being part of club baseball allows him

to prioritize his schoolwork. “School’s first,” he said. “It’s hard to balance baseball and architecture. There are days that I can’t come to practice because I’ve got a project due the next day. It’s brutal.” Despite his demanding major, Kipley’s performance on the field does not lack focus. Arizona club baseball head coach Shane Folsom praised his injured outfielder. “Wes is a great guy,” he said. “He’s a hard worker. He always puts the ball in play and hits very well.” Catcher Rittner Hufford, who leads the National Club Association with nine home runs, also spoke well of his teammate. “Wes is a great teammate,” said Hufford.“He’s always there to cheer you up and (is) solid out in the field.” Kipley’s biggest fans are his family, however. “They’re here about every weekend,” Kipley said. “They’ll come down (from Scottsdale) just for the day. I can’t thank them enough. My mom’s here every game and my dad’s here for most of them. It’s pretty incredible. A lot of the guys are from out of state and say, ‘My mom doesn’t even know I’m playing.’ My parents are my number one fans.”

Kipley and the game on the line Over the weekend, the Arizona club baseball team battled ASU on consecutive days of double

headers. Arizona won three of four games. In the team’s only loss, Kipley was the leadoff hitter at the bottom of the seventh, trailing 9-7. “It’s tough,” Kipley said. “Being the leadoff (hitter), you know that you have to get on somehow. There’s pressure.” With the game on the line, Kipley stood at the plate and took ball one. With a 1-0 count, Kipley knew what was coming next. “The first pitch was a changeup inside,” Kipley said. “It was a ball and I knew (the second pitch) was going to be a fastball. You can guess, and I was able to jump on the ball and find a gap. “I knew I hit it well,”he added. “The wind was blowing the ball towards right field, and I knew if I could catch it (I’d hit the gap).” After connecting with the ball, Kipley wasted no time in rounding the bags. “You (start) rounding first, get about half way, look at (the third base coach) to see what he’s doing, hit second base and then look back up to him (again),” Kipley said. “He might hold you up at second, but fortunately he was waiving me through.” Arizona would not bring in another run and lost 9-8. “You did your job, and then it’s on the team,” Kipley said. “That’s what baseball is. It’s not an individual sport. It’s completely the team, and you can’t do anything by yourself.”

Gymcats head to Los Angeles regional By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona gymnastics team

will head to Los Angeles, Calif., to participate in its 24th straight postseason competition on April 10 at 6 p.m. at UCLA’s

Pauley Pavilion. “A lot of times in the postseason, the problem is just getting there,” said UA head coach Bill

Ryden. “For us, it will be very simple; it’s an hour flight.” The Gymcats are the No. 4 seed heading into the meet. There are five other teams competing in the same bracket, and the Gymcats will move on to the next round of nationals if they place in the top two.

The team will be competing against UCLA, Arkansas, Iowa State, Brigham Young Univeristy and ASU. UCLA, Arkansas and Iowa State are currently ranked No. 3, No, 9 and No. 17, respectively, while BYU and ASU are unranked. The Gymcats are currently

ranked No. 21, having jumped up two spots after their performance last weekend. “I feel good about it … we are excited … it’s obviously going to be good gymnastics,” Ryden said. “(I) feel like we are a team on the rise. We will be up to the challenge.”

I don’t drink every day and I don’t need it to start the day, but when I party I like to party hard and I don’t turn down an opportunity to drink. A friend told me I might be an alcoholic... am I?

maybe not. We don’t have enough information to make that A. Maybe, determination. Fortunately you don’t have to be a medical

professional to start answering your question.

One simple option is to use the CAGE self-assessment: • • • •

Alicia Sloan

Have you ever felt you should Cut down on your drinking? Have you felt Annoyed by others criticizing your drinking? Have you ever felt bad or Guilty about your drinking? Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover (Eye opener)?

Hometown: Tucson, Arizona

One “yes” answer signals a possible problem, and more than one means check-up time.

Major: History

This may be a case of alcohol abuse vs. alcohol dependence. So how can you tell the difference? The following comparisons can help you determine this.

At the Wildcat: Classified Ad Rep

Substance Abuse Indicators: • A pattern of use with negative consequences and multiple incidents • Using despite knowledge that use causes or contributes to problems • Use in situations that are physically dangerous • Moderation possible

Why I work here: “I love being a part of

the Wildcat. I am working with a talented staff to help make customers happy and am part of a wonderful family here. My work schedule is very flexible, which is helpful because I can devote myself to both school and work without sacrificing my performance in either. I look forward to coming to work each day and helping make the classifieds a special part of the Wildcat.”

Substance Dependence Indicators: • Tolerance • Periodic loss of control in terms of how much you use and/or behavior • Persistent desire or unsuccessful effort to cut down • Substance use despite knowledge that use causes or contributes to problems • Substance use criticized by family members or friends • Moderation doesn’t work People who abuse alcohol can limit the amount they drink when the consequences become severe enough. People who are truly dependent on alcohol cannot do this. If you are still wondering, then check it out. Don’t delay. Get an alcohol assessment by calling Counseling & Psychological Services at 621-3334. 75% of UA students usually go out one night a week or less. (2009 Health & Wellness Survey, N=1,720)

Offense ready to take control By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s only March, but the Arizona football team’s offense is already the leader in the locker room and is expected to be the team’s strongest asset in 2010. “We have a bunch of guys coming back and we should be better,” said outside receivers coach Dave Nichol. “We’re always prepared to go score a bunch of points. We can be better because we can do more stuff.” After a strong 2009 season, the unit returns just about everyone in 2010. The Wildcats lost just two starters from last season, but considering the frequency of injuries in 2009 and the different personnel packages, Arizona has more than 11 offensive players who received significant playing time coming back. “I think the one thing that helps us on offense is that we’re gaining confidence,” Nichol said. “I don’t care if you’re playing against kindergarteners or a Pac-10 defense, if you complete balls you’re going to gain confidence, and that’s part of what’s held us back the last few years.” The skill positions are oozing with talent. There isn’t a defined No. 1 receiver just yet, but Delashaun Dean and Juron Criner both have the potential to be among the best in the Pacific 10 Conference. Criner broke through last season by showing up in big games — see versus Oregon and at USC — and became quarterback Nick Foles’ go-to guy. Dean is an all-around talent who has the size, athleticism and toughness to be a top player. Other receivers include savvy marker-movers David Roberts and David Douglas and speedster Bug Wright. Youngsters Gino Crump and Terrence Miller are also expected to contribute this season. “I’ve finally got an old group (of receivers), and that goes hand-inhand with making plays,” Nichol said.

Nic Grigsby, Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko are all back and healthy at running back, and could see more carries this season considering new co-coordinators Bill Bedenbaugh and Seth Littrell have a running background. And then there’s Foles. The righty was a revelation last year, lifting Arizona out of an offensive slump after he was given the keys to the car in week four against Oregon State and went on to have one of the best seasons in the conference. But that doesn’t mean that he’s going to coast into next season. Especially if new quarterbacks coach Frank Scelfo has anything to say about it. “Coach Scelfo has been working with me on my footwork and my mechanics,” Foles said. “A lot of times I do a good job of keeping my feet moving, but sometimes my feet will be pointing one way and I’ll throw it the other way. We’re just trying to keep my feet pretty much on a swivel, on line with my throwing.” The job belongs to Foles — no one is questioning that — but Matt Scott is waiting in the wings. You remember him — he was the opening day starter last season before losing his post to Foles. Scott struggled to get much going through the air during his three starts, but he did show his athleticism by picking up big chunks of yardage on the ground. His efforts on the ground were good enough to give coaches enough confidence to design Wildcat-type packages for him late in the season. Expect to see more of that this year, too. “We’ll get him involved and get him an opportunity to show what he can do,” said UA head coach Mike Stoops. “He’s going to have a lot of opportunities. That’ll be his chance to show us what he can do and show that he’s matured throughout the year. He’s one of our most talented players. You have to keep him involved.”

Arizona junior wide receiver Juron Criner fights off an ASU player during the Wildcats’ 20-17 victory over the Sun Devils in Tempe on Nov. 28. 2009. The Arizona offense is almost all returning, and Criner is one of the receivers who should be poised for a big season.

help out the youngest team in the conference. “Bryce is a very good second baseman and has obviously been our shortstop the last two years, but he was good enough to move over,” Lopez said. “It says a lot for a junior. He came over, and it’s really helped us.” Since the move, Ortega has yet to make an error through 24 games at second base. “I try to take the same mentality that I take at shortstop because there’s a lot that goes on at shortstop that goes on at second base,” Ortega said. “I think it was a really good move for us, and I’m really happy about it actually.” On the other Name: Bryce Ortega side of the infield, Class: Junior the 19-year-old Position: Second base Mejia has come Hometown: Rancho Palos out since opening Verdes, Calif. day and claimed Age: 21 Fact: Ortega started 107 of 108 the shortstop job with confidence. career games at shortstop for You can always hear Arizona before this season. He has started 24 of 25 games at him talking in the second base this season and is field, encouraging yet to commit an error. his teammates and carrying himself with a demeanor well beyond his years. But the Slymar, Calif., native’s vocal nature isn’t something that he makes a conscious effort at. “I just kind of grew up that way, just making sure everyone knows where to be and just being real loud,” Mejia said. “It doesn’t hurt to be loud

and give pitchers support. I don’t really look at it as taking charge; it’s just being myself.” Through 25 games, Ortega and Mejia are No. 1 and 2, respectively, in the Pac-10 in assists.

Fact: Mejia has started all 25 Lopez should be games at shortstop this season credited for seeing and is second in the Pac-10 what moves needed in assists and third in fielding to be made to help double plays. the team most, but the majority of the kudos should go to Ortega. The fact that one of the conference’s best shortstops for two consecutive seasons would leave the position in which he’s made his mark for an unknown freshman to come in and take over says a lot about his character. And then add in that he still remains errorless and has made it look like he’s been playing second base all of his life, and Ortega’s feat becomes that much more impressive. “I feel a little honored more than anything,” Mejia said of Ortega moving positions for him. “Bryce (Ortega) really is good, he really is good defensively.You can see that at second base. Ortega is a great, great guy. His work ethic is great. It was just kind of an honor to take over after that.”
