Two charged with sexual assault Former Pi Kappa Phi fraternity brothers face multiple felony charges

By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT

Two members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity were arraigned Wednesday for charges of sexual assault, sexual abuse and kidnapping.

Gregory Haft, a 19-year-old prenursing undergraduate student, and

Ellery Gordon, a 20-year-old biology undergraduate student, were indicted by a grand jury on Feb. 28 on two counts each of sexual abuse and one count each of sexual assault and kidnapping.

The victim, a UA student, told the Pima County Superior Court on Wednesday that she was at the fraternity house on Feb. 5 when Haft informed her there was another party upstairs, according to court records.

Once the woman went upstairs, she said, Haft and Gordon locked her in

a room, removed her clothing and inappropriately touched her.

According to the documents, officers said they noticed bruises all over her.

The two men were indicted on charges of kidnapping a woman for sexual purposes, forcing her to perform oral sex and touching her breasts and vagina without her consent. All the charges are classified as felonies.

The Pima County Attorney’s office originally requested $150,000 bail for Haft and Gordon. A bail of $50,000 was imposed, which both paid and

were released.

Haft and Gordon were both given permission to leave for spring break but are not allowed to drink alcohol or consume any illegal substances.

The next court date, a case management conference, is scheduled for April 25.

Pi Kappa Phi President Yoseph Arsala, a finance junior, said he became aware of the alleged incident after the fact because he was not in town that day but denied that a party occurred at the fraternity house on

LOS ANGELES — After struggling defensively in a loss to ASU last week, the men’s basketball team bounced back Thursday night in a 66-58 win over UCLA in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament in Staples Center.

“I think it took a team to not look back at the loss we had at ASU and come in and practice every day,” said senior Jesse Perry about what it took for Arizona to move past the Bruins in the quarterfinals.

Behind double-double performances from Perry and junior Solomon Hill, and 13 points from Kyle Fogg, Arizona was able to snap UCLA’s three-game winning streak.

Defensively, the Wildcats bounced back in a big way. The Bruins had eight turnovers in the first 10 minutes. At halftime, UCLA was shooting less than 35 percent from the floor.

“We quickly got back to who we were and that‘s just doing the things that make us a very good defensive team,” said Arizona head coach Sean Miller.

Hill had one of his better games of the season, and he scored 11 of Arizona’s first 21 points to start the game.

“Just come out the gates. Attack. Put them on the defensive,” Hill said of his aggressive mentality at the beginning of the game. “You want to be the attack and let those guys know at the beginning of the game I’m going to come out.”

The Wildcats also got contribution from some unexpected areas. Forward Kyryl Natyazhko played five minutes, matching up with UCLA center Josh Smith. The junior, who has rarely seen playing time this season, had two points and two rebounds.

Freshman Nick Johnson only had five points, but defensively stood out with four blocks, two of which came when he tracked down UCLA’s Tyler Lamb and blocked an easy layup, and then blocked Jerime Anderson’s shot attempt.

“My shot wasn’t really going down at first and I just tried to find something else to do and help the team win,” Johnson said.

Later in the game, the Wildcats were

“There’s nothing really else I can say other than we are aware (of the situation),” he said.

able to get the Bruins in foul trouble and converted on free throws down the stretch, something that has not been a given for Arizona this season.

“We got to the free throw line and we knocked down our free throws,” Hill said.

“When it comes down to crunch time and it’s a slow paced game, every point counts.”

Smith fouled out after playing just nine minutes. By the end of the game, Travis Wear also fouled out.

Arizona has often struggled from the charity stripe this season, but went 31-of-36 from the free throw line, a stat that proved to be the difference in the final outcome.

“It’s not pretty if you love high-scoring easy baskets,” Miller said. “A part of what I’m really proud of this afternoon is that we were really tough minded.”

The Wildcats will advance to the semifinals of the Pac-12 tournament and play against Oregon State tonight at 7 in Staples Center.

Green Fund cultivates projects

By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT

The Green Fund committee doled out $376,900 to 16 projects Thursday night. Initially, the 10-member student committee received 34 proposals, and it had about $400,000 to distribute. Its decisions will be official once Vice President of Student Affairs Melissa Vito approves them.

The money will become available to the funded projects this summer.

Which project received the most funding?

The most expensive proposal to be approved was the “Compost Cats” project, which will get $89,800. Last year, the project received $58,100 from the Green Fund.

Which project saw the most debate?

One member of the audience attempted to rebuff criticism from the committee regarding her proposal, but she was told she wasn’t

allowed to defend her project at the meeting. The project she was supporting, which was not approved, is called the “Highland Commons Courtyard.” Its budget of $12,300 included funds for an artistic installment.

In response to the woman’s comments, one committee member said, “We can’t justify spending that much on a sculpture.”

Will every approved project receive all of the money it asked for?

No, in fact, five of the project proposals were amended by the committee to reduce their budgets. The UA Community Garden, which applied to the Green Fund last year as well, was one project that saw a decrease in its requested funding.

Originally, the proposal asked for $27,200, which included funds to build a ramada at the garden site.

The committee amended the proposal and removed the funding for the structure, leaving the project

Ex-LAPD detective found guilty of killing her romantic rival in 1986 Mcclatchy tribune

LOS ANGELES — A jury Thursday found former Los Angeles Police Detective Stephanie Lazarus guilty of murdering the wife of a man who had spurned her, bringing an end to a remarkable case in which a new generation of the LAPD redeemed the failures of a past one.

After little more than a day of deliberation, the panel of eight women and four men concluded that Lazarus brutally beat and then shot Sherri Rasmussen three times in the chest on Feb. 24, 1986. Three months before the attack, Rasmussen, a 29-year-old

hospital nursing director, had married John Ruetten, who dated Lazarus casually for a few years leading up to the wedding.

The case drew national attention for its sensational story line of a lovesick cop killing a woman she viewed as a romantic rival and then somehow managing to bury her dark secret.

Beyond that, however, the case was a study of stark contrasts between the best and worst of the Los Angeles Police Department, leading Chief Charlie Beck to issue an extraordinary apology to the victim’s family.

“This case was a tragedy on every

level,” Beck said. “To the family of Sherri Rasmussen, I am truly sorry for the loss of your wife, of your daughter. I am also sorry it took us so long to solve this case and bring a measure of justice to this tragedy. … It shows the tenacity of the detectives on the LAPD who will work tirelessly to bring a case to justice, whether that case takes them around the world or across the hall.”

Although any police officer on trial for murder is a rarity, the Lazarus case was particularly compelling. It pitted the LAPD against one of its own, forcing homicide detectives to push aside the strong familial bonds officers feel

for each other and treat Lazarus as they would any other murder suspect.

The department also had to confront awkward questions about why detectives two decades ago did not pursue Lazarus, with her apparently obvious motive, as a suspect. Had they been protecting a fellow cop or was it simply sloppy detective work?

John Taylor, an attorney representing the Rasmussen family, deflected such questions, choosing instead to praise the current LAPD detectives who reopened the case.

“The family is relieved that this 26-year nightmare was concluded

with the positive identification of who killed their daughter and sister.”

Lazarus, who served more than 25 years in the LAPD and retired while she sat in jail awaiting trial, showed no emotion as the court clerk read the verdict.

Because the jury found her guilty of first degree murder, state law requires that Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert J. Perry sentence Lazarus to life in prison with the possibility of parole. It was not immediately known when she could be eligible for parole. Perry scheduled sentencing for May 4.

NRA explains benefits of guns on UA campus

By Stephanie Casanova Daily Wildcat

The National Rifle Association held an open meeting on Thursday to discuss the benefits of legislation that would allow guns on college campuses.

Members of College Republicans, Students for Concealed Carry on Campus and other students in support of Senate Bill 1474, proposed legislation that would allow guns on campus, filled the room as Kristiana Cupp, a grassroots coordinator for the NRA, outlined the history of the Second Amendment and the NRA’s goal to protect every individual’s right to bear arms.

No meeting attendees spoke out against SB 1474 or on-campus firearm legislation.

Cupp also discussed gun-related laws and Supreme Court decisions regarding gun rights.

“So in their arrogance, they (the federal government) have gone outside of what the court is saying,” Cupp said. “So we’re having to continue to fight this to make sure that all individual, law-abiding citizens are able to have their Second Amendment right.”

Cupp provided students with statistics about both gun bans and crime rates, arguing that there is no “one size fits all” solution to these crimes and gun accidents. The government should find a solution that punishes criminals, not law-abiding citizens, Cupp said.

“The criminal isn’t going to listen to a weapons ban,” said Jim Murphy, a history senior.

“Anytime you ban something, people are going to be able to get their hands on it. Doesn’t mean we should legalize everything but it also doesn’t mean bans are always effective.”

Hollywood, a lack of education and false news stories about the dangers of guns cause a lot of people to be anti-gun activists, Cupp said.

Coty McKenzie, a political science senior and state director of Students for Concealed Carry, said he believes that most people oppose SB 1474 because they are uneducated, inexperienced and afraid.

“They automatically think … shooting sprees in the hallways over petty arguments,” McKenzie said. “In fact it’s the opposite. … It’s always a responsible person carrying on campus.”

Miranda Bonds, another NRA grassroots coordinator, spoke about bills going through the Arizona Legislature and encouraged students to be politically active by calling their representatives, creating groups on social media and getting involved with the NRA and other pro-gun groups.

One of the biggest concerns of those opposed to SB 1474 is how much it would cost a university if it permitted guns on campus, McKenzie said. The Arizona Board of Regents recently put out a study that stated it would cost Arizona universities $13.1 million if the proposed legislation passed to enforce safety measures, like creating gun lockers, and an additional $3.1 million every year after.

“The thing about that study is it’s assuming that there would be storage lockers on every building on campus,” McKenzie said. “If they don’t put in the lockers, it won’t cost universities a dime.”

McKenzie also said he supports SB 1474 because it would allow students to feel safe while walking to and from their car or near the university. Though most campuses “have less crime,” areas surrounding campus have more, he said.

“It’s a safety concern. The only people that this is putting restrictions on is the law-abiding citizen individuals,” McKenzie said.

In order to obtain a concealed weapon permit, applicants must go through an in-depth background check and classes to ensure they are responsible and know how to use a gun.

“When it all comes down to it, if you don’t want to own a gun, that’s fine,” McKenzie said.

“If you don’t want to carry a gun, that’s fine. But don’t take that option away from law-abiding citizens that want nothing more than to protect themselves when no one else is there to protect them.”

Still teetering on the edge of his seat, Travis held his chin in his hands as he crouched over, his elbows resting on his knees during the announcement that Murray defeated him by less than 200 votes.

Paige Sager was all smiles after being named administrative vice president. Sager won by 35.9 percentage points and ran on a platform that included ideas such as creating a monthly philanthropy project to unite the different branches of ASUA. “I owe this entirely to my campaign team, they helped me through this, supported me and really helped pull in the votes,” she said. “I am so excited and so ready to start.”

After the meeting was dismissed, Danielle Dobrusin, former administrative vice presidential candidate, was asked by the Daily Wildcat for a comment. She stared, with her head tilted slightly downward, and replied, “No comment.”

advice about how individuals attending social gatherings could protect themselves from dangerous situations.

Always make a plan with friends ahead of time, like designating one individual in a group to stay sober or drink less so he or she can watch out for others, said Erin Strange, violence prevention specialist for the Oasis Program.

“Be aware,” she said. “Make sure someone is coherent and available to be the eyes and ears.”

Ending sexual violence is more than just being aware of one’s surroundings, she added. Society needs to question those engaging in sexual violence, she said, and get to the bottom of why someone would choose to act in a predatory way.

Online courses need more structure Luke Davis DAILY WILDCAT

O

nline college courses can be the new promising, innovative way to reach more students, but too often are just students’ excuse to get an easy “A.” Unless changed, online courses soon will be the most popular choice of most students to try and help boost their grade point averages, and not for real education.

More than half of college presidents say online courses provide the same value as courses taken in a classroom, according to a 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center.

The survey asked the general public the same question, but only 29 percent of American adults said online classes offer the same value as a classroom course.

And UA students agree that they’re extremely popular.

“I hate going to class,” said Ashurina Alkais, a public health sophomore who is taking a psychology class online. “I can do all the work on my own time. I don’t have to physically go to class. Nor did I have to spend money on textbooks. Plus I was also able to work at my own pace.”

While some students use the classes for their academic and personal advantage, others say online classes are preferable because they’re not as hard.

“It’s super easy,” said Karsyn Breiman, a pre-business freshman. “The professor doesn’t even live here. All I have to do is take a quiz on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the questions come directly from the notes that he posts. It takes me five minutes, three days a week.”

Breiman said she found out how easy and unserious the online general education class was and used it to her advantage. The course has no relationship with her major so she said she’s unconcerned with how much she learns from it. All that’s important is the three credits.

This validates the 71 percent of Americans who said online education doesn’t measure up to traditional teaching, according to the survey.

“I tried an online course once but dropped it,” said Nic Frazer, a junior studying finance and MIS. “It was hard and confusing getting a hold of the teacher and the class just wasn’t personal enough, which made it harder.”

The lack of personal contact with the instructor can make understanding the material more difficult. Depending on the course and how it is taught online, students might be missing a great deal of important information since the visual aspect of learning is not as clear.

Online courses are a good idea but they need adjusting in order to be truly effective.

As of now, online classes seem to be hit-ormiss, depending on the teacher. Students have grown up around technology and are comfortable using it.

But the UA administration should carefully monitor the grades of online classes to see if it’s an easy “A.” It is important that students are challenged and are taking away valuable information. Colleges and universities have welcomed online classes with open arms, but officials should be wary of the way students view them and aware of the effort needed to pass them.

— Luke Davis is a pre-journalism sophomore. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @WildcatOpinions.

MAILBAG In response to the March 8 column titled “Online counseling hurts more than helps”: Ms. Nachazel offers no empirical evidence that online counseling is in anyway harmful.

Indeed, the scientific literature refutes her opinion. Several studies have shown that online therapy can be as, if not more effective, than in-person psychological treatments. Internet therapy has been shown to be useful in treating disorders ranging from depression to chronic fatigue syndrome (Kessler et al., 2009; Nijhof et al., 2012).

Even if Internet therapy was not as useful as in-person treatment, Internet therapy would certainly be better than no therapy at all.

— Matthew Groysman, freshman studying pre-neuroscience and cognitive science

Twofer Tuesday: Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney both scored key primary victories last Tuesday, with Romney claiming the biggest prize in Ohio.

Romney still has a large lead in delegates, 421 to 181 over Santorum, but is well short of the 1,144 needed to secure the nomination. That sound you just heard was the sound of Hollywood screenwriters crossing their fingers that the race goes on long enough that Santorum can secure a spot as Romney’s running mate. Suggested tagline: “The Grand Old Party has a grand old problem.”

Teachers’ pet peeve: According to the most recent MetLife Survey of the American Teacher, teacher morale is at its lowest point in more than 20 years. Oh, come on. What do they have to complain about? It’s not like they have to deal with curriculum being yanked, bills that would effectively censor them, political leaders that put more emphasis on the results of standardized tests than legitimate critical learning and the prospect that they’re farming children through to a woefully underfunded university system. Well, silver lining to some of you teachers out there: At least you don’t teach in Arizona.

Haters gonna hate: The number of hate groups and antigovernment groups in the U.S. continues to grow, according to a report from the Southern Poverty Law Center. The sharpest rise has been in the number of militia and patriot movements, which went from 824 to 1,274 groups from 2010 to 2011. When will these people ever learn? If you want to hide behind your guns and decry big government as a need to hide the fact that you’re a quasi-racist who doesn’t like the fact that the president is black, you don’t need to join a hate group. You just need to be a Maricopa County sheriff.

Holding onto your convictions: In a 6-3 decision on Thursday, Mississippi’s Supreme Court upheld more than 200 pardons granted by outgoing Gov. Haley Barbour. Among those pardoned were four convicted murderers who worked as trusties at the governor’s mansion. Some may decry releasing those convicted of homicide back into the general population, but it really is for the best that they be allowed to take their trustee talents elsewhere. They probably have some killer references.

Throwing the e-book at ‘em: The U.S. Department of Justice is planning to sue Apple Inc. and five of the nation’s largest publishers, Simon & Schuster, Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group, Macmillan and HarperCollins, for antitrust violations related to the price of e-books. The Department of Justice is alleging that the six companies conspired to force Amazon to raise the price of its e-books to give Apple a competitive advantage. It’s obvious that this will be a new page in antitrust law, but the Department of Justice needs to have the spine to follow through. Justice, what a novel concept.

Arrested development: Egypt’s military rulers have filed a complaint against more than 700 people for such charges as “inciting the demise of the state and inflaming strife” against the rulers, according to The Washington Post.

Police Beat

By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Forklift ahead

A man reported seeing a male student on a bicycle get into an accident with a forklift from Class Party Rentals at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. University of Arizona Police Department and Tucson Police Department officers arrived and saw the bicyclist on the ground. The driver of the forklift told officers that he was reversing the forklift without having anyone stand outside it to check for pedestrians or bicyclists as he normally does, but did see this bicyclist approaching and stopped to let him pass.

The student was not watching where he was going, the forklift driver said, and ran into the rear tires of the forklift.

The student was ejected from his bike. The forklift driver said he immediately put his emergency brakes on in order to avoid rolling over the student. The officers and the driver checked to see if the student was OK. He had some small cuts and bruises on his body, but did not need emergency medical attention.

Tunnel trouble

Two male students called UAPD at 2:50 a.m. on Saturday and said they were assaulted while riding their skateboards back to their dorm. The men said they were riding through a tunnel by the University of Arizona Medical Center when three male bicyclists came riding toward them. One of the bicyclists swerved in order to hit one of the skateboarders.

The skateboarder said he threw his board at the bicyclist and asked, “Why would you do that?” The three bicyclists then jumped off their bikes and began punching the skateboarder.

The other skateboarder said he ran away and hid in some bushes nearby for about a minute. He then went back to check on his friend, who was getting up off the ground. He had bruised ribs, a cut eye and a bloody mouth. The two skateboarders noticed that the bicyclists had also stolen their boards, priced at about $260 each. The injured student said he did not need emergency medical attention.

A UA employee called UAPD at 10:42 a.m. on Tuesday and said a representative from JPMorgan Chase bank had called him and said someone from Europe had charged a total of $106.67 to his bank account. The bank representative asked the employee if the charges were valid, and the employee told him that he did not make any of the charges. There were three suspicious charges for first class train tickets. Officers told the employee to cancel his card right away.

FESTIVAL OF The fourth annual Tucson Festival of Books comes to the UA on Saturday and Sunday. The festival first debuted in March of 2009 on campus, with 450 authors and 50,000 visitors. Famous authors and journalists such as Roy Peter Clark, Margaret Regan, R.L. Stine and Gene Weingarten as well as esteemed regents’ professors such as Richard Shelton and Ofelia Zepeda are coming to discuss their lives, professions and topics ranging from the border to “Below the Beltway.”

In honor of the festival, the Arts & Life staff picked some of the authors who are coming, or we wish would come, to the festival and highlighted their works.

Gene Weingarten, “Fatal Distraction”

“Pearls Before Breakfast,” he nabbed another two years later with “Fatal Distraction,” a tragic news story about parents who accidentally leave their children in the car. Weingarten writes about a horrifying situation in which a mother realized she left her child in the car, thinking the child was already dropped off with a baby sitter. He then paints a picture of Lyn Balfour sprinting to the car to find her dead child. The story is devastating to read when Weingarten describes the most dreadful scene — a child who pulled out her hair before dying of hyperthermia in the car. Weingarten has a way of bringing readers to tears, whether he’s writing heartbreaking stories or funny columns.

— Michelle A. Weiss

Newshounds, journalism majors and anyone who appreciates talented writing can get pumped to see two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gene Weingarten at the festival.

Weingarten’s solo presentation, “The Secret Rape of Sex and Death” on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Arizona Daily Star pavilion on the UA Mall, will highlight his writing chops as the penman of his Washington Post humor column, “Below the Beltway,” and contributor to the “Barney and Clyde” comic strip.

J.R.R. Tolkien, “The Hobbit”

I love this book because of the journey we go through with Bilbo.

Every single step along the way “The Hobbit” is where the adventure enriches the tale, from the Mirkwood forest to being held captive by elves, and awe of J.R.R. Tolkien’s brilliantly to Bjorn’s house, all the way to the crafted world all began. It’s a world mountain where the dragon Smaug where elves, wizards, orcs and rings unrightfully guards his treasure. When of ultimate power not only exist, but reading “The Hobbit,” I become a part captivate us beyond reality — and the of that world. I love that uninhibited journey begins with the smallest of beings in Middle Earth, a hobbit named feeling where things that we wouldn’t have the chance to experience in Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo, satisfied with the our normal lives suddenly become comforts of his quaint home, wants possible. They become real, even if for nothing to do with the adventure (or rather, burden) thrust upon him by the just a moment. And what’s even more exciting, we have “The Hobbit” to wizard Gandalf. Yet, adventure runs in the hobbit’s blood, and Bilbo discovers look forward to on the big screen this December. the strength and bravery within him — Alyssa DeMember that he never realized was there.

Marlene WagmanGeller, “Once Again to Zelda” Oftentimes when we open up a new book, we flip right past its dedication.

But Marlene Wagman-Geller’s “Once Again to Zelda” highlights these inscriptions by explaining the history, context and motivations behind the dedications of 50 iconic books.

For genuine bookworms, “Zelda” discusses all of the favorite classics, such as “Alice in Wonderland,” “Pride and Prejudice” and “Moby Dick.” These classics provide escapes into adventure, war, romance and mystery with characters we are attached to. Yet, reading about an author’s life, mindset, relationships

and quirks is sometimes even more intriguing than the fictitious story within the book. For example, F. Scott Fitzgerald dedicated his most famous masterpiece, “The Great Gatsby” to his wife Zelda Fitzgerald, in spite of their often turbulent love.

Wagman-Gellar’s “Zelda” not only discusses the world behind the classics, but also includes iconic contemporary novels such as “Harry Potter,” “The Da Vinci Code” and “Seabiscuit.” “Once Again to Zelda” is a good reminder to dedicate your first book to someone or something meaningful. And for the general reader, tread lightly — these passages may make you think twice about your favorite classic.

— Cecelia Marshall

Hunter S. Thompson, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” Hunter S. Thompson’s most famous novel begins, “We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold.” Those words have torn many a reader down a highway of drugs and writing, and here’s why.

“Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas” might not be entirely nonfiction, but it’s more truthful than most other works.

Similar to Thompson’s other novels, this one is a serious critique of the American dream in a first-person, journalistic fashion. Through the lens of a Gonzo journalist in the midst of a drug frenzy in 1960s Las Vegas, the reader sees how

Tucker Max, “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell” He’s incredibly crass and simultaneously riveting, viciously sociopathic yet somehow relatable. Tucker Max’s “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” not only polarized the literary world in a rare way, but developed a new genre in the process. Max is credited with developing the “fratire” genre, laying out the most exorbitant sexual encounters for the world to read with a substantial amount of dark humor mixed in.

Max’s books aren’t for the faint of heart, literary snobs or most people with morals.

the casinos and hotels are nothing more than whorehouses for a dead dream that was never real to begin with.

That’s not to say that the novel isn’t hilarious. However, you might also reflect on Thompson’s Wave Speech: “There was madness in any direction, at any hour … you could strike sparks anywhere,” Thompson wrote about the middle ‘60s. “So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the highwater mark — that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”

Perhaps the wave will rise again. But it’ll take knowledge, love and perhaps a lot of drugs. You can find all of that where I did, somewhere in the pages of “Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.”

— Greg Gonzales

“I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” broke new ground by publishing graphic exploits and also angering most religious, feminist and social groups in one fell blow. The writing isn’t anything exceptional, but the book is one hell of a pick-me-up on a bad day.

Within the first 10 pages, any reader with a sense of humor and a slightly twisted mind will be in hysterics. Some stories seem slightly unbelievable, but that’s the glory of creative nonfiction. We all like to get lost in worlds that are not our own, and sometimes those worlds include midgets, Astroglide and absinthe.

R.L. Stine to give Tucson ‘Goosebumps’

By Greg Gonzales DAILY WILDCAT

ghost stories.

You’ve written countless works that have scared, humored and generally entertained kids for more than two decades. Out of everything you’ve written, what’s been the most difficult to write?

I have a hard novel for adults R.L. Stine coming out in author Daily Wildcat: What will you October. It’s be doing at the Tucson Festival of called “Red Books?

Rain.” It’s a big, hardcover novel for Stine: I’ll be talking about all grown-ups — that was the hardest the new books. And mainly, I hope thing to write. Kids stuff is very easy a lot of kids come, and we’ll be for me and a lot of fun, but I found writing a ghost story together. I it very hard to write for adults. It’s a like to do that, and I’ll tell a few very different process.

R.L. Stine has frightened and delighted audiences for decades with series like the famed “Goosebumps,” and with the 20th anniversary of the series approaching, and an appearance at the Tucson Festival of Books this weekend, the Daily Wildcat sat down with Stine to learn a little more about him, his work, his struggles and why he’s coming to Tucson this weekend.

What do you think the difference is?

I’ve thought about this quite a bit.

When I write a scary book for kids, I have to make sure it’s not real — that it’s not believable at all. I don’t really want to terrify kids, so I have to make sure that they know it’s a fantasy, that it couldn’t really happen. But when you write horror for adults, you have to be very believable. You’re not going to scare adults unless they believe that this really is happening.

now so many of my readers have grown up. All the kids who read “Goosebumps” in the early ‘90s, they’re all in their 20s and 30s and so I thought I would write something to try and keep in touch with my old readers.

So why horror? Why didn’t you stick with your joke and humor books?

Well, no one wanted them.

(Laughs) I wrote about 100 joke Is adult fiction a whole new genre books for kids … and then I did my first scary novel for teenagers, a for you? book called “Blind Date.” It was an Ten years ago, I did a hardcover horror novel — real horror — called immediate No. 1 bestseller. It was huge. And I was like, “Wait a minute, “Superstitious.” It’s about the most I’ve struck a chord here. I’ve found superstitious man in the world, something kids really like; this is and he had really good reason to amazing.” And then I wrote a second be. It was a very gory, gruesome one, called “Twisted,” and it was a book. And then I did a couple little No. 1 bestseller. I thought, “Kids like paperbacks for grown-ups. But

to be scared,” so I’ve been scary ever since. I never planned it, I never planned to write scary books. I always enjoyed horror when I was a kid but I always wanted to be funny. I never thought I’d be a scary guy.

What’s next for you?

This is a big year for me, because it’s the 20th anniversary year of “Goosebumps.” So we have a big hardcover. The very first hardcover “Goosebumps” book is coming out in July. So I’m going to be doing a lot with that. And then in October, “Red Rain” will come out. So this is a big year for me.

The No. 13 Arizona softball team is heading to Texas this weekend to face off against No. 15 Baylor in a three-game series. The first game is on Friday at 6:30 p.m.

The Wildcats (16-4) dominated the College of Charleston series last week, outscoring their opponents by a combined 22-0 and committing virtually no errors on defense.

“We go Friday, Saturday, Sunday against Baylor in Waco. We just need to take it one day at a time,” said head coach Mike Candrea.

OS ANGELES — Before the 2011-12 season began, fans and analysts alike drooled over the future of Arizona basketball.

With Josiah Turner, Nick Johnson, Sidiki Johnson and Angelo Chol choosing Arizona over other top programs, the Wildcats and their four freshmen were dubbed Pac-12 rising stars with a shot at a conference title.

Arizona was ranked No. 16 in the country in the preseason, in large part thanks to the star rankings attached to the names of Arizona’s young guns.

The UA’s Freshmen Fab Four were expected to put Arizona on their backs and walk to the NCAA Tournament.

Fast forward to March 8, in Staples Center.

Turner, Arizona’s top recruit didn’t have his name announced with Arizona’s starters as the Wildcats prepared to play their biggest game of the year against UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament.

Not only was Turner not in the starting lineup, he wasn’t in the arena thanks to an indefinite suspension that put an end to a disappointing freshman season.

Sean Miller’s fourth-best recruit, Sidiki Johnson, didn’t even have the opportunity to try his hand at defending

Number of blocks by freshman guard Nick Johnson. All other players combined for seven.

Last March the team struggled against them with Canion at the mound. This year, the team knows what to expect and is back with a vengeance.

“Baylor is definitely an offensivedriven team and last year we had trouble with them so we went to work this week and took it to practice and really amped it up,” pitcher Kenzie Fowler said. “I think our defense has been stellar.”

Fowler will take the mound for Arizona, and the junior is coming off a solid stretch in which she allowed just three hits and no runs in 12 innings against Charleston.

Even though Arizona has a little less than a day to scout and prepare for the Beavers, UA forward Jesse Perry said he doesn’t think that’ll be much of an issue.

“It’s tough but it’s just basketball,” Perry said. “It’s like AAU ball … you play five games in three days. I think the coaches prepared us to be ready

For the first time since Feb. 19, and second since Jan. 14, the women’s basketball team entered a game coming off of a win after a first-round upset over UCLA. Just like in Arizona’s previous two wins, the Wildcats faltered in the follow-up, losing to ASU 68-53, thus ending the season for the UA. “I want to give a lot of credit to Arizona State for how they played the game,” head coach Niya Butts said in a press release.

Kimberly Brandon paced the Sun Devils with 15 points on 5-for-10 shooting, along with six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal.

For Arizona, Davellyn Whyte led all scorers with 17 points. Senior guards Shanita Arnold and Reiko Thomas

combined to score 17 points in their final collegiate game.

“Our first half was certainly not one of our better halves,” Butts said.

“We couldn’t get stops when we needed them and they shot almost 60 percent.”

After keeping it close for much of the first nine minutes of the game, once the score reached 18-13 with 11:26 remaining in the first half things started to fall apart. ASU went on an 18-7 run to close out the half with a 16-point lead. At one point during that run, from 5:05 remaining until 2:00, both teams went without scoring a single point.

In the second half, Arizona looked prepared to mount a comeback, as the Wildcats brought the score to within six points after a 3-pointer by Shanita

UA baseball ready for more

By Dan Kohler DAILY WILDCAT

Many people might consider the prospect of starting a season with 25 games in 38 days a little daunting. But, as the No. 7 Arizona baseball team continues breezing through its nonconference schedule, the Wildcats are happy to play as many games as they can — especially with its current five-game winning streak.

“I think for the most part, these guys want to play as many games as possible,” head coach Andy Lopez said.

“It’s baseball, you want to play every day so you get a good rhythm.”

Right-fielder Robert

SENIORS FROM PAGE 7

He didn’t allow any runs and sent seven down on strikes throughout his six and twothirds innings on the mound.

Long also boasts a 1.93 ERA and a 2-0 record on the season, and should be Lopez’s go-to guy come Sunday.

The Wildcats are set to do battle against the Eastern Michigan Eagles this weekend and will be vying for their third straight series sweep, starting tonight at Hi Corbett Field.

The Eagles only have two starters hitting more than .300 in Sam Ott and Lee Longo.

Arizona on the other hand has three starters hitting more than .300 and two hitting more than .400 with Refsnyder and Johnny Field.

ered as they have all season.

It was Fogg, Hill and Perry who sat side by side next to Miller at the postgame podium. It was Fogg, Hill and Perry who fielded all the questions in the locker room after the game.

At 6-foot-6 Hill played all but 15 seconds of the game and racked up 25 points and 12 boards against the biggest team in the conference.

At 6-foot-7, Perry battled the 6-foot-10, 305-pound Smith and finished with 16 points and 12 boards while going 12of-13 from the line.

Fogg scored 13 points in 37 minutes while holding Lazeric Jones to 5-of-16 shooting, making UCLA’s top guard 6-for-28 against the senior guard in their final two meetings.

Arizona’s leaders combined for 54 points. The rest of Arizona’s team — 12.

“These three guys are the heart and soul of our team, “ Miller said, pointing to his trio of

veterans. “I don’t know if any of us or any coach could ask more from these types of players than we’ve asked for of Kyle, Solomon, and Jesse. They really have put our team on their back.”

Yes, Arizona’s future may be bright with the likes of Johnson, Chol and Turner, assuming he stays a Wildcat. Sure, fans have a lot to look forward to with Brandon Ashley, Gabe York, Grant Jerrett and Kaleb Tarczewski coming to Tucson next season.

But right now it’s about Fogg, Hill and Perry.

Maybe if we gave them fivestar ratings back in October, people would have realized what they meant to Arizona basketball, because without them, the Wildcats wouldn’t even make the NIT.

“Going into this season, it’s going to take two pitchers to get us where we want to go, and right now I think we have two solid ones,” said Candrea.

well,” Hill said. “I wouldn’t really call it a rivalry, but there’s just a lot of emotion out there.

Sometimes that collides.”

Junior guard Jared Cunningham, who averaged 17.8 points per game this season on 43.6 percent shooting from the field, leads the Beavers. But Cunningham has struggled in the Pac-12 Tournament through two games, combining to score 20 points on 7-of23 shooting without hitting a 3-pointer.

Still, the Wildcats will put all-conference defender Kyle Fogg on Cunningham in hopes of limiting the Beavers’ most dangerous player.

But, despite Cunningham’s limited production, the Beavers have still found ways to

strengthen the defense with the goals of keeping errors to a minimum against Baylor’s offense-driven lineup.

“We know what we’re going into this time. It’s a place that’s maybe a little bit of a hostile environment,” Fowler said. “It just goes up from here, I think we’re right where we need to be, we just need to make sure we keep moving forward each week.”

for tomorrow.”

Still, having less than one day to prepare poses a challenge.

But after the Wildcats’ run to the championship game in last year’s conference tournament, senior guard Kyle Fogg said the UA knows how to deal with such short turnarounds.

“I think it’s huge,” Fogg said.

“Us older guys really know what to expect and we can kind of tell these younger guys how it’s gonna be.”

Perry said Arizona didn’t watch any of the Oregon State game on Thursday, but the two schools are more than familiar with one another. The Wildcats snuck past Oregon State 81-73 in overtime earlier this season and the two schools have split the season series the past two years.

The last two meetings have involved some kind of scuffle between the teams, both of which resulted in at least one ejection. But, despite those dustups, junior forward Solomon Hill said he looks at Oregon State’s togetherness as a sign of the program’s growth over the past two seasons.

“Now you can see that they’re playing together very

As for the other two, Chol played only two minutes while coming up with a huge andone late in the game, and Nick Johnson scored only five points but picked up four momentumchanging blocks in transition.

At the end of the game, Chol and Nick Johnson only accounted for eight of Arizona’s 66 points.

With the freshmen stealing the spotlight in the preseason, it was easy to forget about Kyle Fogg, Jesse Perry and Solomon Hill.

On Thursday afternoon with Arizona’s backs against the wall, it was Arizona’s trio of veteran leaders who once again deliv-

Refsnyder said there’s nothing like plugging through games during a winning streak.

“I love it, I know the guys love it too,” Refsnyder said. “It’s great to wake up every day and have a game. It’s a great feeling.”

The Wildcats are almost halfway through that 25-game stretch and Lopez is pleased with the development he’s seen from his younger guys.

During the most recent series, against UC Davis, Lopez had some wiggle room to test out possible candidates for the Sunday spot to replace struggling starter James Farris.

After his dominating first career start on Tuesday evening, freshman Lucas Long looks primed to take over the role.

win — thanks in large part to speedy guard Ahmad Starks.

The 5-foot-9 Chicago native scored 14 points and hit 4-of6 3-pointers in the upset of Washington and scored 14 points in Arizona’s overtime win earlier this season.

“He’s got a nice stroke on him from 3-point range,” said sophomore guard Jordin Mayes, who will be matched up defensively with Starks.

“You’ve just got to battle on defense and keep him in front of you.”

Junior big man Joe Burton also gives the Beavers a scoring threat down low with his physical 6-foot-7, 280-pound frame. But after the task of slowing down UCLA big men Josh Smith, Travis Wear and David Wear, Perry is ready for the task.

“I ain’t gonna change nothing,” Perry said. “Just playing hard and bringing a lot of energy to the game.”

That energy may be hard to come by on such a short turnaround, especially working against the Beavers’ frustrating 1-3-1 zone. Still, UA head coach Sean Miller is confident heading into tonight’s matchup.

“It’s tough to get ready for that in one day,” Miller said.

“We’ll be ready.”

In the end, Arizona just wasn’t able to muster up the energy to keep it close. ASU outscored the UA 25-16 to end the game.

“There is certainly something to be said for that but at the end of the day we didn’t do enough to get the win,” Butts said.

DAILY WILDCAT

South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, is one of the premier music festivals of the year, where new names go to either blossom or die at the center of a white-hot spotlight that can fade away as quickly as it appeared. Out of the crop of bands that flock to Austin every year, some beat the 15 seconds of fame and rise out of obscurity and others also revive their careers by pandering to a crowd of eager listeners. This year, we’re lucky to have bands that will do both. If you’re going to keep your eye on a few bands in this massive musical foray, these are the three artists to watch for:

Races

Races’ expansive sound delves into chillwave, folk and pop — and the band looks great while doing it with a new indie

hottie. Sonically, the Los Angeles six-piece is a hipster’s wet dream and the claustrophobiainducing video for the first single “Big Broom” is a spectacle that’s simply fun to watch (and the blogosphere noticed). Incorporating striking visuals with Wade Ryff ’s distinct vocal qualities will help Races to leave a mark in a field saturated with indie bands.

FIDLAR

Equal elements punk and surf, FIDLAR’s bouncy and raw sound helps the band shine brightly in a usually subdued mix of artists.

FIDLAR’s reputation for violent live shows is sure to cause a stir among a SXSW crowd chock-full of industry representatives. But the lyrical content is infinitely catchy while being simple and burned-out, ploying for the skater-stoner-drunkard crowd. The band embodies an R-rated carefree nature. Right now Los Angeles is eagerly awaiting its full

John Mayer

It’s been three full years since Mayer’s “Battle Studies,” in which he changed his musical direction to a fusion between his pop roots and a blues-inspired sound. This year marks Mayer’s first showcase at SXSW in 12 years, a marker of the artist’s devout tendency to switch his sound up with every album when the public seemingly has him pigeonholed.

Based on recent interviews and the release of his latest single “Shadow Days,” the guitar god is devolving in the best way he can. Freeing up instrumentation, placing vocals higher in his mixes, and incorporating slide guitar and an organ into his first single denote a shift to a down-home axiom rather than deliver another batch of polished pop songs.
