Ecology class takes hands-on approach

ONE GAME AWAY

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Students head into the field

After defeating Oregon State, 70-59, in McKale Center on Thursday night, Kevin Parrom and the Wildcats are one win away from their first outright Pacific 10 Conference title since the 2004-05 season. Arizona hosts Oregon on Saturday at noon and can finish the season undefeated at home with a victory.

The UA will receive nearly twice as much of an increase in financial aid as Arizona State University during the next fiscal year. From fiscal year 2011 to 2012, ASU is projected to receive a $5.9 million increase in financial aid, and UA financial aid for those years is projected to increase by $10 million. The Arizona Board of Regents delineates the amount awarded from year to year. Financial aid awards include academic scholarships, money set aside from the regents and other awards, which encompass categories such as waivers for children and spouses of slain Arizona peace officers, according to the Arizona Board of Regents 2011 financial aid report. John Nametz, the director of student financial aid at the UA, said that the university is “very, very aggressive” in fighting for financial aid. An example of this, he said, is in 2009 and 2010 when the UA was the only university to access federal money allowing colleges to give students an additional term of the Pell Grant, called “year-round pell.” He explained that there are a variety of factors that determine how much financial aid a university is given, such as what programs an institution has to attract students who are eligible for need-based aid and private donors who provide scholarships. The UA’s jump is in part because of a 4.5 percent increase in total financial aid from 2011 to 2012, according to the report. The increase is due to factors such as regents-approved tuition increases and scholarship increases due to increases in tuition. Of the three in-state universities, the ASU student body comprised approximately 52 percent of the total amount of enrolled Arizona students during fall 2010 and is projected to have about 53 percent by 2016. The UA had about 29 percent of the students enrolled during fall 2010 and is projected to have about 27 percent by 2016.

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students can now take a threeweek field ecology course in summer pre-session and learn by doing. The course focuses on the ecology and natural history of the Arizona side of the Sonoran Desert, as well as the upper Gulf of Mexico and Puerto Peñasco, Sonora. Students work handson for three weeks with the Biosphere 2 and the ArizonaSonora Desert Museum. The course’s instructor, Kevin Bonine, an adjunct assistant professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, took a four-week field ecology course when he was a UA undergraduate, something he calls a “formative experience.” “There’s so many restrictions on a student’s time that it’s hard to get out in the field and experience places,” Bonine said, “I’m hoping that with this they can find the time and have a transformative experience similar to how I did 20 years ago.” Bonine often conducts field trips in his classes, and said he hoped to take the best aspects of his current trips and use what he has learned in this class. The group will spend five nights at UA’s Biosphere 2, five nights camping on Mount Lemmon, two nights in a residence hall working with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and other local resources, then a few days at Saguaro National Park, Tumamoc Hill, El Pinacate y Gran Desierto de Altar Biosphere Reserve and the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. The final days will be spent at Puerto Peñasco at a lesser known lava plain before a dinner at El Charro Café in Tucson to conclude the trip. Biosphere 2 Director of External Affairs Hassan Hijazi said that Bonine approached the institute’s director, Travis Huxman, on how to structure the course and house the students. “The research that Dr. Bonine does is a perfect fit for a lot of the research that we’re doing at Biosphere 2,” Hijazi said, “and we do have the facility that can house these students while they are doing their scientific research.” Pacifica Sommers, a doctoral student in the department of ecology and evolutionary biology, has worked as a teaching assistant with Bonine for several semesters and was approached to be a teaching assistant for this class as well. “The areas (the class will be traveling to), those are all some of the most significant area for biology and ecology for the region,” Sommers said. “Tucson is home ECOLOGY, page 2

Study: Get an extra hour of sleep By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Most UA students have what would be considered a sleep disorder, according to a study conducted on campus that will be published in the Journal of American College Health. “One of the biggest reasons why is — surprise, surprise — because they aren’t getting enough sleep,” said Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health Service and one of the study’s co-authors. Those surveyed, mostly freshmen that lived on campus, reported that they averaged close to seven hours of sleep and took about 26 minutes to fall asleep. Hamilton said 25 years ago, students would get an average of eight hours of sleep, “which, statistically, it’s a big difference.” New technology and social media are the main reasons for that lost hour, according to Hamilton. The study also finds that 54 per-

cent of students surveyed skipped class due to poor sleep the night before and 46 percent would fall asleep or show signs of sleep loss — difficulty with focusing, concentration or remembering — during class. Gender was also a significant factor in the study’s results. “Women were having a harder time (with sleep quality) in the fall compared to the men, but by the time the spring semester had rolled around, those differences had washed out,” said David Salafsky, director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health and a co-author of the study. Salafsky, Hamilton and co-author Kathryn Orzech, a postdoctoral fellow in the Chronobiology and Sleep Research Laboratory of E.P. Bradley Hospital at Brown University and former UA doctoral student, found that male students experienced significantly worse sleep from fall to spring, ending with similar sleep qualities as female students. Salafsky and Hamilton said they were unsure as to what could ac-

friends and significant others during the academic year. But the most frequently reported mental health issue by both men and women was experiencing anxiety. The study formed the basis for Campus Health Service’s current sleep education campaign and its recommendations for getting better sleep. “If we could change one thing that would have improved (students’) sleep quality, getting them to get more than six hours of sleep really would have made a difference,” Salafsky said. If getting more sleep may not be possible sometimes, Hamilton offered this suggestion. “A lot of students would be well served if they set an alarm for when to go to sleep,” she said. “The idea of keeping a regular bedtime is a new concept for a lot of people. We tend to think only about the morning time. If we could all go to bed more regularly, we would all sleep better.”

Board endorses student-centered programs, recommends $1.9M allocation of fees By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Student Services Fee Advisory Board recommended which programs the $1.9 million student fee should fund at its open board hearings on Wednesday and Thursday. Funding applications submitted to the board requested a total of $2.4 million. The board had $1.9 million to allocate, with a 10 percent buffer to ensure it would not overspend. The board continuously explained that programs that requested funding should also be seeking outside sources of funding from places like the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and Student Affairs.

Daniel Altomare, the co-chair of the Student Services Fee Advisory Board, said that this was, in part, because he wants new programs seeking funds to use the board as an opportunity for them. Kenny Ho, a member of the board, said they funded programs that they saw as priorities for students. Applications approved in full, such as Safe Ride, were funded because they are student run, show a growing need, provide student jobs and give academic support. Applications that failed to receive approval, such as the Arizona Student Unions Games Room staffing, did so because the board failed to see how it would impact the

majority of students and they did not see how jobs provided by those programs would enhance future careers of students. Many members of the board said that the main reason for not approving or for amending applications was due to “scarcity of funds.” The board is made up of four appointed members of the Graduate and Professional Student Council, three members from ASUA and four student members from various departments. The hearings allow the board to provide student fee recommendations to Melissa Vito, the vice president of student affairs, who makes the final decision as to where student fee dollars are allocated.

Several students have expressed interest, according to Bonine. “But I think the dynamics and the

learning among students would be enhanced if we were somewhere in the mid-teens,” Bonine said. Sommers, who has visited the areas the class is going to before, said the opportunity to talk to experts and is another important and interesting feature of the class.

FINANCIAL continued from page 1 Elma Delic, the Arizona Students’ Association board chair, said ASA applauds the commitment that the three universities, especially the UA, have shown toward institutional financial aid. She added that ASA identified financial aid as a top priority because as the cost of university attendance increases, students will need a state-based financial aid program that will provide more access and affordability across the board.

Shakespeare done exactly ‘as you like it’

By Heather Price-Wright Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s hard to make live Shakespeare hip. Every so often a film version or “modernization” tries, but since movies like “10 Things I Hate About You,” that tack has turned lame. Luckily, the UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre’s production of “As You Like It” does everything a Shakespeare production should, plus modernizing the comedy just enough to make it seem, well, hip. It’s not exactly clear when this production is set — it seems to be a time fairly close to the present, only way better dressed. The set and costumes are simple but attractive. Much of the ambience is set by lighting, which changes dazzlingly between scenes in the dreary city to the almost-enchanted forest of Arden, where all the good stuff happens. The music, too, is expertly chosen and utilized. Soft indie guitar music, which seems like it might be horribly incongruous, instead provides a perfect soundtrack for the play’s delightful antics and sweet love stories. All this well-crafted background allows the actors to truly shine. And shine they do. “As You Like It” is a comedy about young people finding their way in the world, and falling in love in the process, so the fresh-faced actors who

make up this cast fit perfectly into their roles. Michelle Luz’s Rosalind and James Conway’s Orlando, the play’s main couple, play their honest, earnest love story to perfection. Conway, in particular, is utterly loveable, and couples this charm with an impressive and energetic physical performance. Indeed, all of the physical aspects of the play, especially the fight scenes, are expertly choreographed and quite believable. Luz is lovely as Shakespeare’s most feminist heroine. She’s the perfect combination of a girl experiencing first love and a fierce, wise-beyond-her-years young woman. Her turn as Ganymede, Rosalind’s male disguise and alter ego, is funny and gender bending in a surprisingly provocative way. There’s just enough strange homoerotic tension between “him” and Orlando to keep the second act interesting. But the real scene-stealers in this production are the supporting roles, particularly Angela Bray’s Celia. As Rosalind’s ditzy but winsome best friend, Bray is spot on. When she’s on stage, even if she doesn’t say a word, you can’t take your eyes off her. She embodies Celia at every moment, delivering her lines as if they were written in 2011 rather than 1599. Her facial expressions alone can carry a scene. The only disappointment comes when she ends up with

Rosalind (Michelle Luz) covers the ears of a befuddled Orlando (James Conway) as Celia (Angela Bray) wonders why her cousin is keeping secrets.

Orlando’s grumpy older brother Oliver, who is just not good enough for her. Chris Karl’s Jacques, the self-proclaimed

melancholic fool who delivers some of the play’s most famous lines, also impresses. His performance is surprisingly nuanced — when he espouses, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players,” he manages to convey both how proud Jacques is of this statement, and how banal and silly the whole speech is meant to be. Like Bray, Karl’s presence onstage is enough to draw every eye to him, no matter what else is going on. His departure for a religious life before the end is a sore disappointment. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this deeply enjoyable production is how much care clearly went into every part. At several moments, the characters pause the action for a song. The script bears the simple stage direction “SONG,” and these moments could be glossed over with silly ditties. Instead, each is a fully realized, beautifully performed song, sung by actors who, the audience is somewhat surprised to find, have gorgeous voices. Moments like these don’t worry about forwarding the plot; they simply allow time to enjoy, indeed revel in, the magical world of Shakespeare’s creation. The play’s languid pacing and the actors’ clear enjoyment of their roles make watching “As You Like It” surprisingly delicious. The audience emerges dazzled, energized and wishing the performance hadn’t ended so soon.

Ryan DeLuca finds his way in ‘Lost in Yonkers’ By Kathleen Roosa Arizona Daily Wildcat What does the average UA student know about theater? Answer: nothing, pretty much. We’ve seen enough movies about a shy girl/boy who moves to LA and just happens to get noticed by an agent after weeks of rejections. There are auditions, dress rehearsals and whatever “cold reading” is. Seems chilly, not to mention somewhat depressing and exhausting. But that’s not t he case with Ryan DeLuca. Pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting at the UA, DeLuca explains the auditioning process as grueling, but extremely rewarding. However, it’s taken him far. He’s landed a role in Neil Simon’s masterwork, “Lost in Yonkers,” staged by the Arizona Theatre Company at the Temple of Music and Art. The show officially opens tonight, and runs through March 19. “I’ve always wanted to do a Neil Simon show,” DeLuca said. Lucky for him, his chance came when the director of “Lost in Yonkers,” Samantha Wyer, remembered him

from earlier interactions at the UA. After auditioning with a handful of other actors, he found himself hired. DeLuca plays Jay, a 15-year-old who, along with his little brother, gets left in the care of a strong-willed grandmother in New York during World War II. The conflict of the play revolves around trying to keep a family functioning in a troubling time and fighting

life’s struggles with love. DeLuca described Jay as a character with a full range of emotions, facing extreme, overwhelming grief, but possessing an incredible wit that springs up in the most unlikely of places. “He (Jay) is on the brink of thinking he’s a grown-up,” DeLuca said. Confident and self-assured, Jay still doesn’t possess the full sensor that accompanies adulthood. “I think his biggest attribute is his need to protect his brother. He needs to protect his family.” According to DeLuca, the difficulty in playing Jay stems from having to return back to the youth and innocence of high school. Preparing for the role necessitates turning back the clock for seven years. A young, fresh face certainly helps. While DeLuca has read the majority of Simon’s work, “Lost in Yonkers” is one of his favorites, especially the 1993 film adaptation. “It took a long time getting the movie out of my head,” DeLuca said in response to how he embodies Jay’s character. However, forced to provide justification for all actions, he couldn’t rely upon the film’s interpretation. Between multiple

readings in front of friends and professors, DeLuca’s portrayal evolved into something organic and original. “Now I can’t even remember the movie.” DeLuca lamented that theater has taken a backseat to movies and television. “Young people experience something that can’t be matched here,” he said. And he’s right. There’s no television screen separating the audience from the action. Each audience reacts differently to the performance, almost becoming one more character for the actor to interact with. “It’s a chance to get away from the world and have a laugh,” DeLuca said. His role in “Lost in Yonkers” will definitely help him as he follows his aspirations of being a professional actor. Upon graduating in May, he’ll be leaving for New York City. Have no fear, he has a few prospects up his sleeve and is just gutsy enough to follow his passion. “If you can push forward, want it enough, and are good, it’ll work out.” If he pursues his aspirations with the same tenacity as Jay, the stage hasn’t seen the last of Deluca just yet.

Students not required to rely on ASUA for action Elisa Meza Arizona Daily Wildcat

hange has never been the result of a single person’s hard work and willpower. We put leaders up on pedestals so far from our individual reach that it seems we may never have that impact on a community. We have expectations for people we vote for and hold them accountable. But, by depending too much on them, we disregard any expectations for ourselves in assisting any student movement. It seems to me like we don’t see our campus as a place to voice our concerns for our own education. It should be the ultimate venue in which we are encouraged to speak out and be heard. There are student movements erupting each day across the globe for the same exact issues our student government seeks to address each year. Yet, issues concerning students’ rights are getting progressively worse in Arizona, including rising student debt and tuition increases. Looks like playing “professional” with our state politicians get us nowhere. Some have asked me if it’s a bad thing to not care about student elections for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. Many are apathetic, a reoccurring student syndrome because “we have so many other things to worry about.” I reply with this: It’s not bad to not care much for ASUA elections, but what is detrimental and adds to your own ignorance is doing absolutely nothing about your concerns. We are each a social agent to taking charge of injustices to the student body. That’s a fact. It’s crucial that we remain ready to mobilize our selves. We shouldn’t wait for someone to give us a flyer, telling us to vote for them without any recognition of who they are, what their values are or how they sincerely want to represent us. Some of us see student elections as a political game. And they’re absolutely right. It’s a game where we see just a select few students running around campus like crazy people, telling us when the dates are to vote without any identifying theme of change. The change will happen when they’re elected, they’ll say. I say it should happen now, with or without them. A request for a vote should be a demand for student activism. While I’m standing in line at Core for an hour on $3 Wednesday, I shouldn’t be asked if I’ve voted by a candidate. I should be asked how I want to see this campus change. Each moment with a student should be a glimpse into the reality of someone who will never participate in that capacity of student representation. Working outside the system should be just as relevant to student agency as that one student who will sit in their own cubicle without a majority of the student body knowing what their platform is or ever was. According to an article in reaction to global student movements called “Left Behind? American Youth and the Global Fight for Democracy,” in a non-profit independent news source called Truthout, “Democracy is no longer being defended. It is being reinvented as a kind of shared existence that makes the political possible.” We have to reinvent the way we view democracy on our campus. If it’s not that shared existence, we’ll be just as dissatisfied as the last year. We need to create a campus that serves to combat the reality we’re in. The reality where we’re not guaranteed jobs when we graduate or have to work three jobs during graduate school while paying for undergraduate student debt. As students in this state, we aren’t guaranteed anything but tuition increases. We cannot count on our student government to fix our campus. The democracy we live in will always shortchange students, even one led by students. The change has to be a two-way street, one in which we demand from our leaders what we truly need and the other way being what we demand of ourselves to create change on our own. An ultimate and visible revolution won’t come from within the system. The advantage to not being held accountable by a constituency is that your limits are endless. Your visions aren’t structured and the change you imagine for your campus aren’t defined by a role. The only role you can create is being part of a student body that elected officials always answer to, not against. — Elisa Meza is a junior studying English.

MAILBAG Robberies near campus demonstrate need for fewer gun restrictions

Do you feel safe when you walk on campus every day knowing that there is no criminal carrying a gun around you? There are signs on the front of every door on campus stating that our campus is a gun free zone. The gun free zone policy prohibits anyone from carrying a gun on campus, but this policy certainly did not stop the man who robbed a student at gunpoint on campus at 1:13 a.m. Monday morning. How could this have happened, considering there is a sign on every door on campus stating it’s a “Weapons Free Zone?” As soon as the suspect stepped out of his vehicle

with the firearm he was breaking the law. Did he miss reading all the signs or, because he is a criminal with no respect for the law, did he ignore the signs and the law, knowing the signs just insured that there would be no legally armed citizens with the ability to protect themselves, leaving thousands of victims for this criminal to prey upon? Signage stating “Weapons Free Zone” does not make for a safer campus — it just makes for easier victims. A concealed carry license holder has the right to protect him or herself at literally thousands of establishments around the state, so why shouldn’t they have the right to protect themselves on campus? Is it because the campuses

that allow concealed carry have had an increase in firearm related violence on campus? No. In fact, of the 71 college campuses that allow people with concealed carry licenses to carry firearms on campus, there has not been one single issue involving a license holder. Those who argue that guns on campus in the hands of a licensed carrier make for a less safe environment are simply not stating the facts. Become educated on the issue. If you do not like guns, don’t own one. If you don’t want to exercise your right to protect yourself that is fine, but don’t take that right away from someone that does. — Coty E.

GOP’s war with unions to consolidate power, enrich big business Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

epublican lawmakers, under the guise of “budget cutting,” have declared war on America’s unionized workers. At the National Tea Party convention held in Phoenix last week, Tim Pawlenty, the former governor of Minnesota, railed against the country’s labor unions in front of a cheering crowd of tea-baggers. The mention of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker ’s name led to standing ovation. In an attempt to repair a $137 million budget shortfall, Walker has introduced a budget plan that would prevent labor unions from collectively bargaining. Unionized public workers would be stripped of the right to negotiate with their employers over benefits, hours, working conditions and rules of the workplace. Employers would also be prohibited from collecting union dues, which are used to fund many of the activities unions engage in on behalf of their members. The labor unions that supported the governor ’s election bid last fall, the Milwaukee Police Association and the Wisconsin Troopers Association, to name a few, would be exempt from these changes. In terms of budgetary policy, there is no rhyme or reason to Walker ’s proposed cutbacks. Public workers aren’t responsible for the state’s budget disaster, and the $300 million that would supposedly be saved over two years by stripping them of their

collective bargaining rights would amount to a mere 1/12 of the state’s projected $3.6 billion 2011-13 budget deficit. And newly elected Republicans aren’t at the root of the state’s budget crisis either, as those on the left have suggested. Former Gov. Jim Doyle and the Democrats that controlled the Legislature, prior to their shellacking last fall, created much of Wisconsin’s current problems.

“

Depriving unionized workers of their collective bargaining rights and preventing employers from collecting union dues would stem the flow of contributions made by labor unions to Democratic candidates, which would give Republicans a huge advantage in future elections. This would make for more probusiness politicians like Walker who are more concerned with pleasing corporate bigwigs than doing what’s best for their constituencies.

”

Walker and his comrades in the Wisconsin Assembly claim their “budget repair bill” would save the state from a fiscal meltdown, but its true objective is purely political. The Republican Party has always been intolerant of organized labor and

beholden to big business. Last fall, the Koch brothers, billionaire energy tycoons and owners of the largest privately owned company in America, donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association, money that was then funneled into Republican gubernatorial campaigns around the country. Walker and other newly elected Republican governors are returning the favor by threatening to bust the labor unions, the Democratic Party’s primary fundraising arm. Depriving unionized workers of their collective bargaining rights and preventing employers from collecting union dues would stem the flow of contributions made by labor unions to Democratic candidates, which would give Republicans a huge advantage in future elections. This would make for more pro-business politicians like Walker who seem more concerned with pleasing corporate bigwigs than doing what’s best for their constituencies. Walker has threatened to lay off 6,000 public employees if his budget plan isn’t approved, but has signed-off on $120 million in corporate tax cuts. This anti-union craze has even spread to Ohio, Tennessee and Indiana, where the Republican governors in each state have also threatened strip union members of their right to collectively bargain. The GOP’s war with organized labor is clearly an effort to consolidate political power and enrich big business. The party’s ideal world, one where corporations rule and politicians live to serve them, will be built on the backs of America’s union workers. — Nyles Kendall is a political science sophomore.

Resident sleeps through Coronado burglary

A male UA student was burglarized on Feb. 27 while he was asleep. A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to Coronado Residence Hall and met with the student March 1 at 6:40 p.m. The student said the theft occurred while he was asleep. He had fallen asleep on Feb. 27 around 3 a.m. and left the door unlocked because he believed that his roommate would be returning soon. Sometime after 3 a.m. the student heard the door open and people whispering. The student assumed that it was his roommate and did not get up to see who was in the room. He later found out that his roommate had stayed the night at a friend’s house and did not return to the room that night. When the student woke up, he noticed his prescription medication, three different prescription bottles, a digital camera, two graphing calculators and an electric razor were all missing from the room. The student said there was a security camera in the hallway near his room. There were no suspects or other witnesses at the time of the report.

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong turn

Three female UA students were arrested for minor in possession on Feb. 27 at 12:48 a.m. after the driver of the vehicle drove down a street marked “Do not enter.” A UAPD officer was patrolling Campbell Avenue and noticed a car take a left onto Third Street despite signs that clearly marked the turn lane for U-turns only. The officer stopped the vehicle at Third Street and Norris Avenue . The officer spoke with the driver and could smell the odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle. The officer was able to determine that the driver was not under the influence and cited the driver for a disregarding a traffic control device. Another UAPD officer arrived and interviewed the three passengers of the vehicle at 1 a.m. Each student admitted to drinking and all three showed symptoms of intoxication. The students said that they had been together at a mutual friend’s house drinking vodka and cranberry juice. None of the students could remember who provided the alcohol. Three students were cited and released.

Drunk student almost hit by car

A male UA student was arrested for minor in possession on Feb. 27 at 1:20 a.m. after almost being hit by a car. A UAPD officer was on Park Avenue and noticed a student talking on a cell phone and walking very slowly. The student walked directly into the path of oncoming traffic between James E. Rogers Way and Second Street . A car rapidly stopped in order to avoid colliding with the student. The student continued to cross the street while swaying from left to right. The officer approached the student and could immediately smell alcohol. The student had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. He told the officer that he drank six shots of vodka and two beers at a party, but could not remember where it occurred. The officer arrested the student for minor in possession. He was cited and released on scene. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Robb Fountain UAPD officer

You’ve clearly seen the original “Wizard Of Oz.” Which character do you identify most with? If it was (up to) other people, they would probably put me with the witch, but quite honestly I associate myself with one of the flying monkeys, or whatever, because I am just all over the place constantly. Biggest regret? My biggest regret is probably having a chorizo burrito for breakfast this morning. Where would you want to go on a honeymoon? I would probably go to somewhere in Colorado so I could go white water kayaking at the same time. No tropical islands? Well, as you can see, I’m fair skinned. I’ll burn, and I’m a shady character. How do you feel about nude beaches? I’ve actually been to one in Australia. But the conclusion I came up with then when I left was, for one, the people who do have their tops off, you can’t tell that they are women to begin with, and I don’t want to look at them in the first place. So that is my take on nude beaches. Favorite thing to do in the nude? Take a shower. Any shout outs to the student body? When you ride your bike on the streets of the campus, please stop at stop signs and yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. Thank you.

HOROSCOPES

They’re not as real as they seem. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 7 — Imagine the project already completed. Gather up your courage, take a deep breath and charge forward. You’re afraid of the unknown. It’s only human. Gemini (May 21 - June 21) — Today is a 9 — There’s a sense of urgency. Thinking

The straight poop on toilet paper wedding Wedding dresses can be awfully expensive, but with a little ingenuity — and a whole lot of two-ply toilet paper — a gorgeous gown can be rolled out in no time. That’s the premise, at least, behind the seventh annual Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest being hosted by the bride-on-a-budget website, Cheap Chic Weddings. Every spring, the wedding website holds a contest to see who can make the best-looking bridalwear out of just a few simple tools: tape, glue and, most importantly,

The first-place seamstress will walk away with a $1,000 prize, while second and third place earn $500 and $250, respectively. Although the contest doesn’t officially kick off for about a month, Bain said now is a good time for serious contestants to get a jumpstart on their dresses, or at least begin brainstorming and sketching out ideas for designs. — AOL News

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy sports writer

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Momo Jones and the Wildcats forced 22 Oregon State turnovers in Thursday night’s 70-59 victory over the Beavers. With the win, Arizona clinched at least a share of the Pacific 10 Conference title and can win it ouright with a victory over Oregon in McKale Center on Saturday.

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Until now, nobody on Arizona’s roster had been in reach of the overhang that is a conference championship. With one win needed to touch it, the pressure mounted. But against the Oregon State Beavers, the Wildcats (24-6, 13-4 Pacific 10 Conference) finally broke through. Led by forward Derrick Williams and point guard Momo Jones, four Wildcats scored in double figures during Arizona’s 70-59 victory in McKale Center Thursday night. Simultaneously, UCLA, also coming into Thursday with a 12-4 league record, dropped to 12-5 in the Pac-10, securing at least a share of the league

title to the Wildcats. “I was proud of our guys for breaking through,” said head coach Sean Miller. “Tonight was a hard game for us. So many times when you have things set up to do something special … it’s that one last game. “You can sometimes make the game bigger than it is.” Williams recorded an offensive rebound with less than two minutes to play in the first half that marked his 10th total rebound, then scored on the same possession to give him a double-double before halftime. He finished the game with 15 points and 12 rebounds, while Jones chipped in a game-high 17 points. Forward Solomon Hill and Kevin Parrom added 10 apiece,

and guard Kyle Fogg scored nine with six assists. “I’d say that we all just came together, and we’re determined with a common goal in mind,” senior Jamelle Horne said. “It wasn’t pretty, but we fought through the bad plays.” Arizona put the pedal down early, forcing eight Beaver turnovers in the first 10 minutes of the game. By the end of the game, the Beavers committed 22 turnovers to the Wildcat’s eight. Still, OSU stuck with UA, taking its first lead of 11-10 with 10:52 to go in the first half. The Wildcats had their largest lead at halftime, a score of 34-23, not terrible from the Beavers perspective considering a 14-2 turnover margin in favor of

the Wildcats. Facing a mix of 1-3-1 and 2-3 zone, Miller said his team executed well against various defensive schemes. “Guys made passes,” Miller said. “You rely on instinct. Today we had more of an organized approach. I think our team had more of a confidence against (the zone).” In the second half, Oregon State would stay close, cutting the lead to 50-43 before Fogg hit a 3-pointer on the right wing, causing OSU head coach Craig Robinson to call time with 8:51 left. Jones scored nailed a 3 on the opposite side of the court during the next possession, and a Hill dunk a minute later gave the Wildcats a 14-point lead. ZIMMERMAN page 11

W-Hoops wins in Corvallis

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Wildcats have been road warriors so far this season, but the Arizona softball team is back at home this weekend for the Wildcat Invitational. The last time the Wildcats played at home, they swept the weekend — the only time Arizona has done so this season. Here are three things the Wildcats will have to do to have a successful weekend at Hillenbrand Stadium.

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Take advantage of playing in front of the home crowd

After a dismal weather weekend in Palm Springs, Calif., last weekend, Arizona is promised both the confines of its stadium and good weather. “It feels good to be back here in our home, on our field, and in front of all of our fans,” said third baseman Brigette Del Ponte. At home, Arizona is batting .400, compared to on the road play, where the Wildcats are hitting .282 on the season. It may also be a good weekend for senior catcher Stacie Chambers, who is chasing both the Arizona and NCAA record for home runs. The Wildcats have hit almost half of their total 31 home runs at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Don’t underestimate

Utah State, Portland State, Minnesota, Idaho State and the

Originally we wanted to talk to Jamelle Horne earlier this week. The UA senior who went through it all — coached by Kevin O’Neill, Russ Pennell and now Sean Miller — calls McKale Center home one last time tomorrow. The UA senior played 397 minutes as a freshman, 1,006 minutes as a sophomore, 876 minutes as a junior and so far 553 minutes this season. We wanted to write a sappy and nostalgic narrative about Horne’s journey of the five-star recruit who has played virtually every role and virtually every style. We asked nicely, but he didn’t want to talk. “Unfortunately, Jamelle has told me that he will not sit for interviews (postgame not included) until we win the Pac-10 title,” UA spokesman Rich Paige wrote us in an email. “Yours was not the only request he turned down this week.” His request to keep quiet spoke more than anything. Whether it was out of frustration, friction or focus, Horne has kept a low profile all season and has seemingly been alright with it. Then he broke the silence. At 9:19 p.m., almost simultaneously as Washington beat UCLA following Arizona’s victory over Oregon State, Horne walked into the post-game interview room and sat down. “It’s just me (talking to the media),” he said. “Let’s do it.” Washington’s win meant Arizona secures a No. 1 seed in the Pac-10 Tournament and win the league title outright with a victory against seventh-place Oregon tomorrow afternoon on CBS national coverage. Had Horne been told that on Senior Day he would’ve been able to cut down the white nylon

Robert AlcarazArizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona softball has been inconsistent away from Hillenbrand Stadium so far this season, but the Wildcats are back in front of their home crowd for the Wildcat Invitational. In order to take care of lesser opponents like Utah State, Portland State, Minnesota, Idaho State and UC Riverside, Arizona needs to make the most of that home field advantage.

University of California, Riverside, aren’t traditional powerhouses around the softball world. While the opponents’ names won’t jump out at Arizona this weekend, head coach Mike Candrea is just concentrating on winning. “I don’t know who’s going to be our toughest (opponent),” Candrea said. “Right now you respect all, fear none. That’s kind of my motto.” Portland State (8-5) is the only team that has a winning record at this point. Four of the Vikings’

losses were to teams ranked nationally.

Balance it out

Arizona has had a fickle relationship with the strikeout this season. Wildcats’ batters have been strikeout victims 104 times — 31 more times than any other team in the Pacific 10 Conference. Candrea said the team would try to string together productive at-bats during the weekend. “This is a team that should score some runs and I think right now they kind of have a good idea of

where they’re at and where they want to go,” Candrea said. “It’s a matter of working each day and do everything you can to get better.” In the circle, sophomore pitcher Kenzie Fowler has a different view of the strikeout. Fowler has 76 strikeouts in 12 appearances, once again setting herself apart from the other Pac-10 pitchers early in the season. However, Minnesota (7-7) brings pitcher Sara Moulton and her earlyseason success to the circle. Moulton has 75 strikeouts on the season, just one fewer than Fowler.

The Arizona women’s basketball team beat Oregon State for the second time in 2011 on Thursday by a score of 50-46 in Corvallis, Ore. Ify Ibekwe scored 15 and grabbed 16 rebounds — five on the offensive glass — while playing all 40 minutes. Davellyn Whyte scored 16 on 6-for-11 shooting and added three assists for Arizona (18-10, 9-8 Pacific 10 Conference). Senior forward Soana Lucet also added 11 points to go along with four rebounds. Arizona shot only 2-for-20 from three-point range and shot only 36 percent from the field, but Oregon State shot an abysmal 32 percent from the floor. The teams combined for 43 turnovers, with the Wildcats committing 22. Arizona nipped Oregon State (919, 2-15) in rebounds, 40-39. Arizona closes out the regular season on Saturday, when the Wildcats take on Oregon in Eugene, Ore., at 3 p.m.

Arizona’s three-man weekend rotation — consisting of Kurt Heyer, Kyle Simon and Tyler Hale — has combined for a record of 5-1 and a miniscule .95 ERA, but the bullpen has struggled as the Wildcats head into a three-game home series with Utah Valley University. Arizona’s pen has given opposing hitters 15 free passes so far in 2011, shooting itself in the foot during the series against No. 21 Rice University on its way to a series split. “When you walk too many people, you’re not going to win,” said Arizona head coach Andy Lopez. “The game’s not meant to be played that way.” Junior catcher Jett Bandy thinks that the bullpen’s control problems

may be mental. “Some guys need pep talks and for you to boost them up, but some guys just need for you to calm them down,” Bandy said. “I’m really confident in our staff. We have a lot of tough guys, we’ve just got to get their confidence up.” The Thousand Oaks, Calif., native emphasized that early in the year is the time to get younger pitchers some experience. “You’ve got to get the guys with less experience out there and see how they do,” Bandy said. “You’ve just got to get them to fill up the zone. If they get a hit, it’s better than walking them. Bandy has had struggles of his own, but they’ve been in the batters box. The junior picked up his first extra-base hit of the season with a double Wednesday, but he knows that he can’t press himself too hard. “I think I’m starting to pick it up,” Bandy said. “You can’t be (worried about it).

Junior catcher Jett Bandy is struggling to get anything going at the plate as he collected only his first extra-base hit of the season on Wednesday. But Arizona hasn’t struggled producing runs, it’s the Wildcats’ bullpen pitchers that need to improve as they host Utah Valley in a three-game homestand this weekend.

honors toughness, and once you start thinking about stuff and say, ‘Hey, I’m not doing well,’ that’s where the game gets you.” Lopez said that midweek series are a test of pitching depth, and that cost Arizona against Rice. Fortunately for Arizona, its trio of starters has reached at least the seventh inning in every

Wildcats battle top ten Gymnastics prepares for Bruins, Bulldogs By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UCLA and Georgia have dominated the collegiate gymnastics scene, combining for 13 of the last 14 NCAA national championships. Needless to say, when the Arizona gymnastics team takes on the Bulldogs and Briuns in Los Angeles this weekend, the Wildcats need to bring their A-game. The meet will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday at Pauley Pavillion. Head coach Bill Ryden insists that the team can compete with any team in the country as long as it puts everything together. Last week, for the first time all year, Arizona excelled in its beam set and scored a season high of 49.200. Even with the strong beam score, the Wildcats struggled during their floor rotation. If the Wildcats want a chance to take down two of the most successful teams in collegiate gymnastics they will have to put all four events together. “It’s constantly on our mind,” Ryden said. “If we can change up some of the routines by easing up on difficulty without sacrificing our score, we will do that. But we just got to learn our lessons.” The squad has some experience in facing top-tier competition since it already hosted the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal. The Cardinal eventually won, 195.300-194.675, but the meet was down to the wire. “We’re not scared of competing against anybody,” Ryden said. “It’s just more of we need

ZIMMERMAN continued from page 10 Breaking the double-digit deficit only one more time, a couple of easy interior baskets thanks to breaking the OSU zone gave the Wildcats breathing room to burn the final minutes off the clock. Now, Arizona can win the Pac-10 title outright with the Oregon Ducks coming into McKale Saturday at noon. “Appreciating the process of the ups and downs of the season serves us well,” said Horne, who will play his last game in McKale.

Tech savvy

For whatever reason, the Beavers weren’t playing nice with the Wildcats. Technical fouls were called twice, a result of what Miller said was both teams’ competitiveness. “There wasn’t a lot of talking to be honest

to go out there and put down our routines.” Assistant coach John Court, the floor coach, realized that the gymnasts were not able to adjust to the floor’s surface last week, and that may have aided in their low score. “One thing everyone has to realize is that when we are kind of deep on a event you always have to be sharp,” Court said. The Bruins and Bulldogs have won 16 of the last 29 NCAA national championships, but the surging Arizona gymnastics team isn’t ready to back down. “We know we can compete with them,” Ryden said. “I’m not worried at all.”

Matusik named performer of the week

Junior Katie Matusik was awarded the Pacific 10 Conference Special Performance of the Week last week for her beam routine, which earned her a 9.925. “When you have a freshman who has a bad practice, you really don’t know what you are going to get out of them,” Ryden said. “With Katie (Matusik) I have seen her train and compete for so long that I trust her, even when she has a bad practice I believe she will do well in the competition.” Matusik is the fourth Wildcat this year to earn special recognition from the Pac10. Miranda Russell was given Special Performance of the Week and Deanna Graham and Aubree Cristello were awarded Gymnast of the Week.

weekend series. “They’ve shortened the season up, and (the NCAA) is telling you to play 56 games in a condensed season,” Lopez said. “I looked at the scores last night … I don’t think big league teams have enough arms to go five times a week without having a bad game. It’s painful early in the year sometimes.”

ROY continued from page 10 nets in McKale Center, he wouldn’t have just taken it. “I would’ve stole it,” he said. “I’m loving where I’m at right now.” Guaranteed, nobody wants to stand on that ladder and let out a scream more than Horne. We hadn’t heard from him in weeks, so the questions were simple: Will the senior show a little extra emotion in his final game at McKale? “I doubt it. I’m pretty even keel,” said the San Diego kid. “I keep it cool, calm and collective.” Any extra family or friends traveling out for the ceremony? “Just my mom and my dad,” he said. “That’s all that matters.” But wait, Horne is one win away from Arizona’s first league title since the 200405 season. Fans on Twitter have already erupted in celebration. “I don’t think it’s hit us yet,” he said in

that calm, cool manner. “As a player you don’t want to look ahead — that’s the worst thing to do. We know that there’s something big on our hands, something special we can do.” The Wildcats watched the Washington game from their locker room. Most of them realize a loss against the Ducks wouldn’t change anything: Not in their game plan or confidence, not in their Pac-10 Tournament top seed and probably not much to their NCAA Tournament seed. Miller even admitted Saturday’s game will be played more freely knowing no statistical losses are at stake. The only thing left is fulfilling the intangibles of clinching a league title outright and cutting down the nets on national television on Senior Day. “That’s what we’re after,” Sean Miller said. —Bryan Roy is an intradisciplinary studies senior.

with you,” Horne said when asked if any one team was trying to get under the other’s skin. “There were just a lot of hard plays on the ball. The refs were talking about throwing them (technicals) out earlier. We kept our cool.” At one point in the second half, Beaver forward Devon Collier appeared to nudge Williams with his elbow after a small confrontation and the play called dead. “There were no hard feelings,” Collier said. “It was just frustration. We cleared it up after the play.” And with less than five minutes to go, Beavers center Angus Brandt was called for a blocking foul after falling into the hoop’s backstop and threw a loose ball not toward a ref, but in a crowd of Arizona players. He and Williams were called for the double technical. “It was just chippy back and forth,” Brandt said. “He just kind of threw the ball at me so I threw it back. You don’t want it to look like we are getting walked on out here.”
