SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899

Medical students get matched up Most of 149-member class to become primary care residents next year

By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT

For most of this year’s graduates of the College of Medicine, primary care is the primary destination.

The class includes 149 students from both the Tucson and Phoenix campuses. Of that 149, 69 graduates will go into primary care, 25

into family medicine, 21 into internal medicine and 23 into pediatrics. Three students will spend a preliminary year training elsewhere, then return to the UA College of Medicine to complete their residencies.

Students received the results of their residency matching during the college’s annual Match Day event.

The nationwide event puts students at a location where they will complete their residency. The day doubles as a ceremony, and National Resident Matching Program

results are released at ceremonies on the same date and time throughout the nation.

The Match Day ceremony began with a short skit put on by students in the College of Medicine. At the end of the skit, students drew from an envelope containing letters with their results. Each student had to place a dollar in a jar upon opening their letter, and the last student that was called to open their envelope collected the money, which amounted to nearly $100.

Uma Goyal, a fourth-year medical student, will spend a

preliminary year at Loma Linda University in California, then return to the UA to continue her residency in radiation oncology.

“It (radiation oncology) is one of the most competitive specialties you can match into regardless of whether the university was my first choice or last,” Goyal said, “and just the fact that I got matched into radiation oncology was exciting.”

After five years of residency, Goyal said she hopes to become a registered radiation oncologist and have the opportunity to combine working with patients and doing

research.

“I couldn’t believe I got matched into what I want,” she said. “I was jumping up and down with joy.”

Students will pursue residencies in anesthesiology, dermatology, emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology, orthopedic surgery, pathology, pediatrics, radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology, surgery and urology.

The length of residency training varies by program, said Dr. James

Candidate for study abroad director lays out strategy, visions

55 / 40 56 / 34 73 / 45

DAILY WILDCAT Wendy Williamson, one of two candidates for UA director of study abroad and student exchange, unveiled her vision for the university’s study abroad programming at a forum on Monday.

“We’re looking at the big picture, we’re looking at global engagement, we’re looking at becoming a global university,” she said.

As the current director of study abroad at Wendy Eastern Illinois Uni- Williamson versity in Charleston, candidate for UA Ill., Williamson has director of study added 20 international abroad and partnerships and 10 new countries to that student exchange

university’s programming. In order for the UA to expand its own global reach, she said, it needs to integrate study abroad experiences with the university’s curriculum, creating an international network linking individual UA departments to global institutions.

If she is selected, Williamson said she

will audit the UA’s programming to discover its strengths and weaknesses. Then, the office can foster connectivity with the rest of the UA community and communities worldwide.

One of the flaws in the university’s study abroad system is a lack of partnerships between UA programs and those at foreign institutions, Williamson said. The UA needs to use programs at these schools as an extension of the UA’s curriculum.

“Here’s an example: Your school of art (is a) top art school in the nation. I go to the website and there’s no mention of any global network connection that I could find,” Williamson said.

She pointed out that the Office of Study Abroad and Student Exchange has partnerships with schools abroad that boast strong art programs, like the University of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, “but there’s no connections” between the two art departments.

Williamson also said she hopes to integrate the study abroad experience with the UA’s general education curriculum.

She cited the UA’s “general education spiel,” which says the goal is to prepare students to respond more effectively

How do the UA’s recent tuition increases stack up against its peer universities?

When the Arizona Board of Regents approved the UA’s tuition proposal during its meeting on Thursday, it marked the first time since 1991 that the resident undergraduate tuition rate did not increase. It also marked the end of a four-year period where tuition nearly doubled, and exceeded $10,000 a year for the first time. But how do the UA’s tuition and fees stack up nationally?

Let’s compare the UA’s tuition and fees to that of its ABOR-determined peers.

The UA saw by far the highest rate of increase, at 204 percent. The lowest institutional increase can be found at the University of Maryland, which saw “only” a 29.4 percent increase in resident undergraduate tuition and fees over the last decade.

Part of the UA’s large increase, which was roughly 40 percent steeper than any of its peers, can be attributed to its comparatively low costs in 2000.

That year, tuition and fees for a UA resident undergraduate were $3,058, the second-lowest among its peer group and only higher than the University of Florida’s $2,938. By 2011, though, tuition and fees for a UA resident undergraduate were $9,299, the sixth-lowest among its peer group.

Prosecutor: No grand jury for Martin case Mcclatchy tribune

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The special prosecutor assigned to investigate the Trayvon Martin case will not be using a grand jury to determine whether to arrest George Zimmerman in the shooting death of the Miami Gardens teen, her office confirmed Monday.

The former prosecutor on the case, Seminole County State Attorney Norm Wolfinger, had decided to use a grand jury, and had scheduled the panel to meet on Tuesday.

Duval County State Attorney Angela Corey, the special prosecutor, told McClatchy Newspapers in an interview last month that she did not expect to need a grand jury, and would probably decide herself whether to charge Zimmerman.

“I always lean towards moving forward without needing the grand jury in a case like this,” Corey said at the time. “I foresee us being able to make a decision, and move on it on our own.”

On Monday, her office confirmed that no grand jury would be used in the racially charged case.

In Florida, the decision on whether to indict someone in capital cases must be made by a grand jury. In all lesser cases, the decision to file charges is routinely made by prosecutors. But in highly

controversial or difficult cases, prosecutors often defer to a grand jury, leaving the politically fraught decision to a panel of citizens.

Corey’s office pointed out that the decision not to take the case to a grand jury should not be taken as an indication of whether or not she will charge Zimmerman at all.

“The decision should not be considered a factor in the final determination of the case,” her office said in a release.

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Martin’s parents, issued a statement after Corey’s decision Monday.

“We are not surprised by this announcement and, in fact, are hopeful that a decision will be reached very soon to arrest George Zimmerman and give Trayvon Martin’s family the simple justice they have been seeking all along,” Crump said.

Martin, 17, who was black, was shot and killed by Zimmerman, who is white, on Feb. 26 while walking through a Sanford neighborhood where he was visiting.

Sanford police opted not to arrest Zimmerman, who claimed selfdefense.

After public outcry, Florida Gov. Rick Scott assigned Corey, the state attorney for the Jacksonville area, to take over the case on March 22.

Protesters upset about the city’s

handling of the case surrounded the Sanford Police Department on Monday, forcing the offices to close to the public.

The city manager later announced the city would hold a town hall meeting to begin the “healing” on Thursday.

In Miami, protesters gathered outside the offices of U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., to ask him to withdraw his support of Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law.

Meanwhile, BusinessInsider. com reported Monday night that Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer, had launched his own website and defense fund. The website, www.therealgeorgezimmerman.com, takes contributions via PayPal to cover Zimmerman’s living and legal expenses.

And The Gainesville Sun reported Monday that police were investigating the beating of a 27-yearold man who was walking home from a bar Saturday night by five to eight men who shouted “Trayvon” as they jumped him.

“We do believe that the crime was racially motivated,” the Sun quoted Gainesville police spokeswoman Cpl. Angelina Valuri as saying.

The attackers were black while the victim was white, Valuri told the Sun.

“to an increasingly complex and ambiguous world.”

“That’s study abroad,” she said.

Her idea includes making study abroad experiences applicable to the UA’s diversity emphasis requirement and allowing transfer credits from foreign universities to count toward students’ grade point averages.

“It encourages study abroad, it puts study abroad on your main menu, and it’s not an hors d’oeuvre anymore,” she said. “It’s part of the main course.”

Williamson got some of her own travel experience as a member of the Peace Corps from 1994 to 1998.

She worked in Cameroon and Ecuador doing health education and community development.

“We had very little resources in the Peace Corps, so I always had

to figure out how to make it work with the resources and the people that we had available,” Williamson said. “It opened up my mind and my appetite for culture, trying to see how the world works. It gave me an ability to think more critically and analytically about things.

I wouldn’t be here today had it not been for that Peace Corps experience.”

Williamson is one of two vying for the directorial position. Her competition, Richard Miller, is the associate director for the Center for East Asian studies at the University of Wisconsin.

The winning candidate should be someone who can transform the UA’s study abroad office into “a powerhouse to be reckoned with,” said Renee Griggs, the interim director of the office of study abroad.

“It’s gonna take a special person to bring all of it together and make us a global university and mean it, not just say it. Mean it.”

FBI analyst sues agency, claims bias in fitness test Mcclatchy tribune

CHICAGO — An intelligence analyst for the FBI in Chicago who allegedly missed becoming a special agent by a single pushup has filed a gender-discrimination lawsuit alleging that the FBI’s fitness test is flawed and biased against men.

Jay Bauer, a Northwestern University doctoral graduate, joined the FBI in 2009 after leaving the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee as an assistant professor in its communication sciences department, according to the lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Chicago.

Bauer passed a fitness test before entering new-agent training at Quantico, Va., where he scored at or near the top of his class in everything from firearms training to academics, according to his lawsuit. He was also selected by his fellow trainees to be their class leader, the lawsuit said.

Trainees must pass another fitness exam at the FBI Academy.

Men must complete at least 38 situps in a minute and do 30 untimed pushups. Male candidates

also must sprint 300 meters in 52.4 seconds and run 1.5 miles in 12 minutes and 24 seconds.

Bauer allegedly fulfilled all the other requirements, but after managing to do only 29 pushups, he was forced to resign from special agent training, the lawsuit said. He took an FBI analyst’s job in Chicago, where he’d already relocated his wife and two young children.

He lives in Mount Prospect.

For the past two years, Bauer has challenged the FBI decision through the administrative courts.

His attorneys argued that a female trainee who scored near the bottom of the class in firearms proficiency was given another attempt at the fitness test, but Bauer wasn’t.

They also argued that the FBI’s fitness standards — which before 2003 required men to do just 25 pushups — are comparatively harder for males. Female trainees must complete at least 14 untimed pushups, an amount equal to between 27 and 29 for men, the lawsuit says, citing a database maintained by a fitness consultant the FBI worked with in drafting the

guidelines.

His attorney said in a letter filed to the administrative law judge that Bauer didn’t want to take the legal fight to federal court — he was being considered for promotion in his current job — and instead sought a settlement conference with the FBI. “Given what is occurring in this world today and the fact this case is about one pushup, it does not feel right (to file a lawsuit),” his attorney Michelle Reese Andrew wrote to an administrative judge.

But Bauer, feeling that he wasn’t being given a fair hearing in administrative court, filed his challenge last week in federal court, asking that he be put in a special agent position with back pay and that the Justice Department be ordered to pay his attorneys’ fees and damages.

“My client is a reluctant plaintiff,” Andrew said in a brief telephone interview. “He feels compelled to fight for what’s right here.”

An FBI spokeswoman said the agency doesn’t typically comment on pending litigation.

Kerwin, a specialty family medicine doctor at the University of Arizona Medical Center — South Campus and an assistant professor of family and community medicine. Residencies in general medicine take three years to complete, while most specialized surgery residencies take close to eight years, Kerwin added.

Institutes with residency programs can only accept a certain number of students into their programs, so some students apply for residencies in their fourth year of medical school, he said.

Sigrid Gardner, a fifth-year medical student, will complete her residency at the University of California, San Francisco, in obstetricsgynecology.

Gardner said she hopes to pursue a career in public health, health policy and advocacy where she can work with underserved communities. She is excited to do so, she

said, because it will give her the privilege of serving women experiencing life-changing events, like having children.

“I wanted to be sure I read it (the results) correctly, so I made myself read the results twice before reading them aloud into the microphone,” Gardner said. “It seemed almost too good to be true, and I couldn’t help but cry for quite a while after finding out the news.”

As many medical students prepare to leave Arizona for their residencies, Nathan Copeland, a fourth-year medical student, was matched to stay at the UA to do his residency in internal medicine.

“They tell you a week before (the event) that you have been matched but not to where,” Copeland said.

“So it’s nerve-wracking having to wait to hear your results.”

After his residency, Copeland said he wants to receive his medical license, which will allow him to work in any state. Although Copeland is nervous about where he will spend the next three years, he is happy just to have a job, he added.

Sororities compete for cancer research

Fraternity hosts philanthropy events, raises $2,000 for foundation

By Soinneah Monks Daily Wildcat Last week, the UA’s Alpha Sigma Phi chapter held its first official philanthropy fundraiser to support cancer research.

Sorority Warriors, a five-day event, allowed active sorority members to compete against each other in a variety of events to help raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which funds cancer research.

“We wanted to establish that men aren’t just considered warriors, but women are too when it comes to fighting cancer,” said Marc Small, president of the fraternity and a sophomore studying political science and pre-business. “This was the motivation we wanted to instill in the women competing.”

Each sorority received a few “coaches” from the fraternity and purchased clothes that members of Alpha Sigma Phi designed in support of their philanthropy. Additionally, sorority members participated in “field day” events like a water balloon toss and an obstacle course, where they were able to get to know other members of Greek Life.

With the help of parents, sorority members and UA students, the fraternity was able to raise $2,000 from the event, and all proceeds were donated to the foundation. As Alpha Sigma Phi’s first philanthropy events held at UA, Small and his fellow members said they were pleased with the results.

“The extensive support we received from sorority members’ activeness showed how supportive they were of the cause,” said Matt Mittelstaedt, a pre-business freshman and the fraternity’s philanthropy chair.

Online at DAILYWILDCAT.COM Check out more photos from the Sorority Warriors series of philanthropy events.

Alpha Sigma Phi’s start

Alpha Sigma Phi, a new fraternity established at the UA, became an active charter in seven months — the fastest expanded charter in Alpha Sigma Phi national history.

Nationally, Alpha Sigma Phi has had a 38 percent growth rate since 2009 and is established at 100 universities nationwide, according to Geoff McDonald, a national recruiter for the fraternity.

During fraternity rush week, held last fall, McDonald attended student and social events on campus, looking for potential brothers to start the fraternity. After the recruitment process, Alpha Sigma Phi’s UA chapter was founded in August with 56 members. They all became founding fathers.

“This was the largest expansion our fraternity has had in national history, let alone the largest amount of founding fathers this chapter has seen,” McDonald said.

The process of going from an interest group to a chapter usually takes longer than seven months. McDonald said that the men selected to found the fraternity were extremely motivated, and that Small and other members have told him that they are pleased with how the fraternity has grown since.

As an active member, Mittelstaedt said that he “enjoys that the members can create their own reputation for their fraternity, and make it a UA experience that they can create for themselves due to the unique way they were founded.”

Next year, the fraternity aims to double its membership and have a chapter house where members can live, hold meetings and host events.

Providing closure

In Arizona, the debate over illegal immigration usually centers on those living in the United States. However, each year, hundreds of migrants die in the attempt to cross the border. Their stories are often forgotten, and more often than not their bodies remain unidentified.

But one man, Engel Indo, a technology liaison for the Office of the Medical Examiner and the Mexican Consulate, is working to identify each of the John Does.

According to the Arizona Daily Star, Indo has helped to identify five bodies so far. He has put identifying information, such as tattoos, on a Facebook page created to help people find out the fates of their loved ones.

“It’s just sad that we have all these bodies, and we don’t know who to give them to,” Indo told the Daily Star.

Regardless of your feelings on the illegal immigration issue, the loss of life is never something to sneer at.

And, as a nation that was founded on immigration spurred by a desire to escape the troubles of a homeland, we should be more sympathetic to those who would readily risk life and limb to obtain a fraction of the freedoms and opportunities we all take for granted.

Helping bring closure to families worrying over the fate of their loved ones is both admirable and laudable.

For looking past politics and helping grieving families find peace, Indo and his coworkers get a pass.

“Affirmative action counterproductive”

“The not-so-Easter Bunny”

“The importance of student press”

As the Supreme Court seems once again poised to take up the topic of race-based affirmative action in college admissions decisions, America is reminded of the damage universities have inflicted in the name of multiculturalism.

Universities defend race-based affirmative action admission policies in the name of advancing diversity and promoting social harmony. But this branch of affirmative action has little social benefit.

In 2003, the Supreme Court decision in Gratz v. Bollinger prohibited universities from giving applicants automatic advantages based on race or ethnicity. A subsequent Supreme Court ruling affirmed that colleges could consider both factors as part of a case-by-case assessment of individuals.

As a result, hundreds of prestigious universities across the nation have been able to award acceptances on the basis of race. An April 1 article in The New York Times found that even when laws restrict this practice, many universities find ways to get around them.

If administrators do not want to judge minorities by the color of their skin, they have to refrain from using race as justification in university admissions.

They can no longer see race as an implied setback in society; it is certainly not indicative of a disadvantaged upbringing.

The Supreme Court should affirm the irrationality of race-based affirmative action policies and pressure American universities to eradicate this absurd practice.

As Easter passes, so does the holiday excitement characteristic of so many chocolate-themed religious events. With this fading excitement comes the consequences of impulsive actions carried out in the holiday spirit. And while the Easter Bunny may have retreated back to his springtime home, other bunnies may not have such an option.

Every year, Easter brings about a surge in rabbit sales from pet stores and sites like Craigslist.

Parents want a cute gift for their child, so they buy little Timmy a baby rabbit to place alongside his candy and jelly beans in the Easter basket.

But rabbits are a 10-plus-year commitment and are often difficult for children to properly take care of. They’re higher maintenance than dogs and cats, and more difficult to find a home for when the inevitable time comes that the child becomes bored with the rabbit.

Unfortunately, chicks, ducks and rabbits, unlike dogs and cats, have a specific time of year where impulse adoption skyrockets. Afterward, shelters that cater to rabbits find themselves full and domesticated rabbits are often let out into the wild by naive owners who don’t realize that such an action is essentially a death sentence for their furry friend.

In retrospect, the national symbol for Easter perhaps should have been a less intelligent, lowermaintenance animal — but a rabbit it is.

On this Easter and next, be mindful of the impact Pagan holidays have on rabbits. A chocolate rabbit is a much better impulse buy than a live one.

You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

This rings in my head as students head to the polls to vote on the V.O.I.C.E. Initiative, a $2 per semester student service fee that goes towards filling the hole in The Daily Californian’s budget caused by decreasing advertising revenues as more media switch to digital formats.

The question before us is whether we want the Daily Cal in print on most days of the week or if we want it mostly online with perhaps diminished quality. I’ll get the quality part in a moment.

I will be voting “yes” on the V.O.I.C.E. Initiative on April 10 for the following reasons: First, I believe a free student press and an accessible daily paper is vital to informed dialogue by the campus community.

It is very valuable to have the Daily Cal paper easily accessible on campus. While The Daily Californian is not The New York Times in its quality of articles — it is a student newspaper, after all — it is an important public resource on our campus that keeps students aware of ASUC, university, city, state and national news stories affecting our campus.

While many papers are moving onto the digital platform, aided by Internet and tablet technology, we are still seeing the quality of the free press under increasing strain.

Ultimately, The Daily Californian will move out of print. The initiative is just a life vest to keep print alive for five more years (at least) and allow the Daily Cal to move out of print in a better way.

Tuition freeze a hot idea

For the first time in 20 years, tuition for resident undergraduates will not increase thanks to a unanimous vote by the Arizona Board of Regents on Thursday.

Some out of state students are clamoring because their tuition will still increase, but everyone should stop to celebrate this victory. Only around 10,000 students are from out of state, so that means more than 29,000 students will benefit from this tuition freeze.

And after three straight years of tuition increasing by at least 20 percent, it is a welcome reprieve in the otherwise inexorable march upward.

The UA has seen tuition for resident undergraduates more than triple in the last decade. It’s probably safe to say that a UA education hasn’t gotten three times better over that same period.

What was once a “bang for your buck” institution is fast becoming a cash grab.

Even as Arizona’s Legislature continues a fast-paced race to the bottom in terms of education funding, it’s nice to see the regents take at least a one-year reprieve from racing to price Arizona students out of the market at their own universities.

For giving students a much-needed break from tuition hikes, however temporarily, the regents get a pass.

BYU’s “It Gets Better”

More than 20 students at Brigham Young University made an “It Gets Better” video specifically about the BYU campus.

They talk about praying for God to take away their homosexuality and how uncomfortable they felt with their fellow classmates.

While the video itself is a great testament to progress and will hopefully help some of the non-heterosexual students at the campus, it speaks to a larger problem.

These students, members of Understanding Same-Gender Attraction, a campus group that is not officially recognized by the Mormon university, risk being excommunicated for kicking open the closet doors and reaching out to struggling classmates.

BYU allows gay students as long as they adhere to the school’s honor code, which prohibits premarital sex.

However, Utah doesn’t allow same sex marriage, so if you’re gay, you’re just out of luck. According to the Princeton Review, BYU is one of the worst campuses for gay students, so the students who made the video should be commended.

For ignoring the video and refusing to release a statement, BYU officials get an incomplete.

t would be too easy to joke about racial tensions in Texas.

Stephanie Eisner, a sophomore at the University of Texas, used to be an editorial cartoonist for the Daily Texan, UT’s student newspaper. Late last month, Eisner was fired for an illustration inspired by the Trayvon Martin controversy. Eisner’s cartoon sparked immediate backlash, leading readers to label her and the Daily Texan “racist.”

The Trayvon Martin case is now well-documented — a man shot a black teen wearing a hoodie, reigniting an old debate about racial tensions.

Eisner’s cartoon depicts a mother (labeled “the media”) reading to her daughter, with a speech bubble that says, “And then … the big, bad, white man killed the handsome, sweet, innocent colored boy!!!” The mother holds a book titled, “Treyvon Martin

tragedy. Instead, it raises questions about journalistic integrity, the willingness to take risks and the conviction necessary to endure the consequences.

There is no taking back your errors in judgment, especially when they’re published in print and online. There’s no deleting them, even if you pull them from your website, and no mealy-mouthed statement of apology will undo their damage. Firing Eisner didn’t make the problem go away.

Daily Texan editors caved. The point of the editorial cartoons — and the editorial pages of newspapers in general — is to challenge readers’ views and provoke them to engage in meaningful discussion. Sometimes people get offended, and you have to have even more meaningful discussion to work through the offense.

Basically, everything you ever do in life comes down to this: Weigh the options carefully. Consider the impact. Then own your decisions and own your mistakes.

Police Beat

By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Thanks for lunch … twice A male UA student noticed that his wallet was missing from his back pocket at 1 p.m. on Thursday after riding his bike home from the Science and Engineering library.

He checked his backpack, but remembered that he put his wallet in his back pocket before leaving the library.

After looking at his bank account online, he noticed that his Bank of America Visa card had been charged multiple times for purchases he did not make. This included an unknown transaction of $40, a purchase from Jack in the Box for $20.88 and a purchase from Taco Bell for $7.08. He also checked his CatCard balance online and saw it had been charged $25.

He then contacted the University of Arizona Police Department. The officers asked him what else was in his wallet. He told them there was a single $20 bill, his driver’s license and a wallet-size photo of his mother. Officers verified transactions at the Jack in the Box and Taco Bell with his bank, and asked the two restaurants if they could see their security surveillance camera footage. One of the restaurants appeared to have a potential suspect on its surveillance camera, but was unable to figure out how to make a copy of the video. There are no further details at this time.

Drive-thru fighting A couple, both UA students, were drinking with some friends at 10 p.m. on Thursday when they decided to go to Eegee’s to get some sandwiches. They began arguing in the drive-thru, and the man told his girlfriend, “I don’t like it when you are all over me and you embarrass me when you display too much affection in front of my friends.” The argument escalated once they received their food, and as they drove away the woman yelled, “Get the fuck out of my car.” She then stopped abruptly, and he grabbed her sandwich and threw it out the window. She started yelling at him and asked him why he did that, and he looked at her, swung his arm around and hit her in the shoulder. She began crying once he started hitting the car seat, and he demanded that she take him home.

The woman began dialing 911, but hung up when the man yelled at her to get off the phone. She then drove to UAPD. While the woman was inside asking for help, the man fled the area.

She told officers about the incident and told them he has a history of domestic abuse with past girlfriends. Officers examined her right arm and took photographs of the injured areas. Officers searched areas around the man’s house and found the man in the passenger seat of a car that was driving up to the residence. The officers asked the driver to leave and for the suspect to exit the car and sit on a nearby brick wall. The man told officers that he did not hit the woman, only the car seat.

As officers talked to the man, they noticed the smell of alcohol coming from his breath. Officers investigated the man further and eventually arrested him. They put him in the back of their police car and booked him at Pima County Jail for assault, domestic violence and disorderly conduct.

As he left, he told officers, “I didn’t even like her anymore, I am graduating in May and I don’t want to jeopardize my standings.”

‘Speaking in Tongues: Wallace Berman and Robert Heinecken, 1961-1976’ This landmark exhibition, curated by Claudia Bohn-Spector and Sam Mellon, brings the work of Berman and Heinecken ‒ two seminal yet under-studied Los Angeles artists ‒ into close conversation for the very first time. Each was interested in appropriating and repurposing images from mass media, which helped usher in the use of photography as a key element of contemporary avant-garde art. Their works are explored within the unique cultural context of 1960s and 1970s Southern California, as it fueled and amplified their highly original creative approaches.

Del Ponte taking new role

Utah rolls through Tucson for 3-game midweek series

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

Arizona softball’s three-game series at home against Utah is sandwiched in between No. 1 Cal this coming weekend and No. 4 Washington last weekend, including a doubleheader tonight at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium.

The Wildcats (25-10, 4-5 Pac-12) enter the game after winning a series against arguably the toughest competition they’ve had, and in the process, muzzling critics who doubted the team’s ability to conquer opponents capable of handling Arizona’s deep and powerful lineup.

Utah (23-12, 0-6 Pac-12) just got swept by Cal and is still searching for its first-ever conference win as a member of the Pac-12, but senior Lini Koria does not plan on giving up that quickly.

“We definitely faced a lot of good, positive things with our at-bats, pitching, and defensively,” Koria said in reference to the Wildcats’ performance this weekend. “There were a lot of good plays on the field.

It just gives us more momentum before we play Utah. We’re going to face a team that can give us different speeds than we’re used to seeing. It doesn’t change our game plan at all. We’re just going to be

Arizona third baseman Brigette Del Ponte blasts a home run against San Diego State on March 27 at Hillenbrand Stadium. Del Ponte has been a leader for the young Arizona softball team and is climbing up the program’s all-time leaderboard in home runs, ranking 12th with 47 long balls.

Young softball lineup turns to veteran third baseman for leadership

By Emi Komlya Daily Wildcat

Arizona native Brigette Del Ponte spends more time on the third base corner of the softball field than anywhere else. After having developed into one of the most valuable gloves on the team, Del Ponte is taking on the Pac-12 Conference as a junior.

“Coach keeps me disciplined and on the right track and in the right mindset,” Del Ponte said. “When my swing goes bad, I need him to tell me what to do to change it.”

Del Ponte has the third base line on lockdown and is the most prolific

hitter on the team with more career extra base-hits (67) than singles (52). In her two-plus seasons in Arizona, Del Ponte is No. 12 all-time with 47 home runs.

“It’s about getting excited for games and being in the right place emotionally,” Del Ponte said. “It’s the upperclassmen’s job to bring back that enthusiasm.”

Standing 5-feet-3-inches tall, Del Ponte is the shortest member of the team but is a core player on both defense and offense. She set Arizona records for home runs (21) and RBIs (80) by a freshman, and will likely be in the running for all-time records by the time she graduates.

With a handful of freshmen filling in the lineup this season, Del Ponte has slipped into a leadership role and taken it to the plate.

Del Ponte has learned to lead by encouraging the lineup to do its homework on opposing hitters for defense and approach the plate with a plan to battle the pitcher.

“I mean, it’s pressure, but it’s nothing I cant handle,” Del Ponte said. “I’m glad my teammates are there to pick me up when I need it.”

She has started every game since setting foot in Hillenbrand Stadium and shows no signs of slowing down. Candrea said Del Ponte takes on the responsibility of carrying the

team at times, even though it can be nearly impossible for one player to do that.

“We just have to have fun out there and keep the energy up,” Del Ponte said.

Despite a relatively quiet weekend for Del Ponte in Arizona’s series win over Washington, she remained active and did her job — playing solid defense and putting together good at-bats.

“If there’s less than two outs then I’m going to get that girl out at second. I know I have to do whatever it takes to get her out because I don’t want her beating me at third,” Del Ponte said.

Junior class has baseball on top of the Pac

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

gordon bates / Daily Wildcat

Arizona third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean stretches to beat a throw at first base against UC Davis on March 6 at Hi Corbett Field.

Mejias-Brean is part of a group of UA juniors that have turned the baseball team into one worthy of a top-5 ranking.

The No. 4 Arizona baseball team entered the season with high expectations, and 32 games into the 55-game season, it sits alone atop the Pac-12 and has a chance to create real separation this weekend, when it hosts No. 17 UCLA. “Everybody is coming after you,” left fielder Johnny Field said. “We know what we have to do, and just because UCLA dropped the series (against Oregon), they are going to come to our place hungry. There is a lot at stake here in this next series.”

On paper the series lost a little bit of its luster thanks to two losses by UCLA to No. 16 Oregon — dropping it 12 spots in the College America poll.

But the matchup still puts Arizona (23-9, 9-3 Pac-12) against a team tied for second in the conference.

And since Oregon — the other team with an 8-4 Pac-12 record — doesn’t play the Wildcats until May 4, this is one of the best opportunities for Arizona to solidify itself as the Pac-12 frontrunner.

“We are just trying to keep the momentum going into this next Pac-12 weekend because we have a good opponent coming up and we just want to keep things rolling,” Field said.

The Wildcats didn’t rise to first

place in the conference by accident. They came into the season ranked in the Top 25 in all polls, and so far the team has lived up to the hype.

And much of its success is thanks to a talented junior class that has helped create the Pac12’s best offense.

Arizona is ranked first in the Pac-12 in batting average (.331), total runs (228), slugging percentage (.438) and stolen bases (49), and the juniors have been mostly responsible.

Alex Mejia, Robert Refsnyder, Seth Mejias-Brean and Joey Rickard are all in the conference’s top 10 in batting average, and combined with some talented underclassmen, the team has produced a lethal attack that is averaging more than seven runs per game over the last 14 games.

“That junior class has worked hard to be where they’re at right now, and hopefully they continue the path,” head coach Andy Lopez said. “They are a great group of guys … and they play good baseball on top of that.”

However, Field — a sophomore batting .333 — said there is still plenty of room to improve.

“We could have executed better as an offense,” Field said about the Utah series last weekend. “We left a lot of runners early on in the games in scoring

Nwoko in ‘beast mode’ after ACL injury

east mode.

That’s how Marshawn Lynch, a Seattle Seahawks running back and Skittles enthusiast, describes his mindset when he steps on the football field.

“Beast mode for me is just a state of mind,” Lynch said in a YouTube video. “Someone asks ‘What’s your mindset when you step on the field?’ It’s beast mode. No one wants to deal with no beast.”

The Arizona football team might just have its own version of beast mode in senior back Greg Nwoko.

At least that’s how quarterback Matt Scott describes the 6-foot-1,

237-pound behemoth.

“Oh man, he’s a beast,” Scott said. “He’s lookin’ great, lookin’ strong. He’s going to be a great addition to this running back corps.”

The soft-spoken, Pflugerville, Texas, native isn’t quite as boastful about his inner beast as Lynch, or even as much as his teammates like Scott are about him.

“I guess so, whatever he says,” a laughing Nwoko said. “I mean, I’m a power runner and I can do speed and everything.”

Nwoko hasn’t had much of a chance to put his “beast” on display, as the ACL injury bug that ended the seasons of four key Wildcats defensive players wasn’t limited to that side of the ball.

About a year ago, during spring ball, Nwoko tore his ACL as he tried to avoid a tackler while making a cut.

Cornerback Jonathan McKnight and linebacker Jake Fischer, two of the defenders who suffered ACL injuries, have talked in the spring about how difficult it was for them sitting on the sidelines instead of playing alongside their teammates on the field. For Nwoko, it was difficult too, but he actually enjoyed watching his teammates perform — especially two of his talented backfield mates.

“It was pretty hard sitting out there,” Nwoko said. “But I enjoyed

Hoops picks up transfer forward

By Nicole Dimtsios DAILY WILDCAT

The Arizona men’s basketball team has made its first offseason move in the pickup of Cochise College transfer Matt Korcheck.

The 6-foot-9, 220-pound forward is expected to redshirt the 2012-2013 season, but will look to be a major part of the UA lineup during the 2013-14 season, according to Cochise coach Jerry Carrillo. “Thank you everyone for the welcoming into the UofA family, I look forward to working hard and helping out this team as much as I can!!�

Korcheck tweeted on Monday. Korcheck’s Twitter page was filled with responses congratulating him on joining the Arizona program.

Korcheck, a Tucson native and Sabino High School product, would take the Wildcats’ last scholarship for the 2012-13 season, but the circumstances surrounding Josiah Turner are still not clear. Turner remains indefinitely suspended from the team, and if he departs, another scholarship would open.

Korcheck, who averaged 14.7 points and 6.5 rebounds for the Cochise Apaches last season, chose the Wildcats over Oklahoma.

on a roll after this.�

The game plan all season has been to make smart plays defensively and get timely hits in addition to maintaining the strong pitching the Wildcats already possess. Pitchers Kenzie Fowler and Shelby Babcock were both successful in the Washington series, each winning a game.

Arizona will look to cease its current habit of letting opponents stay in games longer than they should. Just this weekend, the Wildcats’ defense had “lapses,� as head coach Mike Candrea put it, and allowed five runs in one inning, ending Arizona’s chances

getting a loss out of it.�

Pitching also hasn’t been a strength for the team — its 3.86 ERA is third-worst in the conference.

But the Wildcats have only have two mid-week games left on their schedule, giving the staff plenty of rest between series.

The Wildcats are 4-4 during mid-week games in which weekend starters Kurt Heyer, Konner Wade and James Farris aren’t sent out to the mound.

The bullpen has been an issue all year, but the three weekend starters have been able to eat up innings, tossing 171 of the 284 innings pitched.

Arizona still has 18 conference games left on its schedule, so anything can happen.

But with how the Wildcats have played so far, they have proven themselves worthy of the high ranking and lone spot atop the competitive Pac-12 standings. “I’m very happy with this group, they compete well and they do a good job when they have to,� Lopez said. “There are a lot of teams that would have liked to have won every conference weekend and so far and we happen to be one of those.�

to sweep the Huskies.

In terms of hitting, Arizona’s bats have had no problem lighting up the scoreboard all season long. Five Wildcat batters currently boast a batting average above .300 and six have scored at least 22 runs for Arizona. The bats will be tested against Utah ace Generra Nielson, who has a 2.06 ERA, more than five runs below Arizona’s season average.

Candrea said that the UA’s wins in the Washington series were a result of every aspect of the game coming together at the same time, and he hopes to see more of the same against Utah. “This weekend we had some great defensive plays, some timely hitting when we needed it, some good pitches when we needed it,� he said.

position. This next weekend we have to find a way to get those two out hits and hopefully drive those runners in.�

It’ll be tough for the Wildcats to actually improve on the offensive end though, considering they have 31 more RBIs than the Pac-12’s second-ranked team, ASU. But the Wildcats do have room to improve defensively.

Arizona is ranked 10th in the Pac-12 with a .959 fielding percentage and has committed the secondmost errors (52) in the conference.

Lopez said that in the very talented Pac-12, teams have to play well every inning in all facets of the game to win on a consistent basis, and that sloppy fielding could cost the Wildcats.

In fact it was the main factor in last Friday’s 7-6 loss to Utah, in which poor defense by catcher Riley Moore in the eighth turned an inning-ending strikeout into the eventual game-winning runs. “For all intents and purposes, that game was won,� Lopez said. “But we don’t play good defense for one inning and we end up

NWOKO FROM PAGE 6

watching Ka’Deem (Carey) and DJ (Daniel Jenkins) out there, so it was still exciting.�

After two solid seasons following a redshirt freshman year, Nwoko was expected to play a key role in the backfield for Arizona last year under then-head coach Mike Stoops. This year, the Wildcats are stacked at the running back position with guys like Carey and Jenkins, fullback Taimi Tutogi and the emerging Kylan Butler. But new head coach Rich Rodriguez has been impressed with Nwoko so far, and for a coach that over the course of the career has made his team run the ball a whole lot more then it’s passed it, don’t expect Nwoko to be lost in the shuffle. That is, assuming Nwoko stays healthy. “He’s been really good in the offseason workouts and he’s a big athletic guy,� Rodriguez said. “He understands football and I think part of it with Greg has been staying healthy throughout his career.

If he can stay healthy and show some physicalness in blocking

and in running, he’s a guy that can do a lot of big things for us.�

Under Stoops, Nwoko ran for a total of 543 yards and six touchdowns in 23 games — not huge numbers, but solid considering the pass-first tendencies of Stoops and the presence of former runners Keola Antolin and Nic Grigsby.

Nwoko prides himself on the ability to catch passes out of the backfield, and that attribute is what led Rodriguez and co-offensive coordinator/running backs coach Calvin Magee to move him to a new position — H-back, which is considered a tight end and fullback hybrid. “I’m in a new position this year, but I like it,� Nwoko said. “At H-back, there’s more blocking and I run the ball too so I’ll be more versatile.�

At the start of camp, his coaches could tell he was a little antsy coming off the injury, but Nwoko said that he is “pretty much� at 100 percent. “Nwoko’s looking good,� Magee said. “I think when he started out I think he was tentative trying to make sure his legs were under him but as time goes he’s starting to pick it up.�

level of alcohol, your body can. Bowing down to the porcelain god is never any fun, especially if there is no one there to hold your hair or share that horrible accompanying stench as you un-swallow. Ewww!

It’s as simple as this – alcohol irritates the esophagus, stomach, and intestines any time you drink. Additionally, it causes inflammation of the stomach lining and creates extra stomach acid. Your brain, in an effort to safeguard your body, orchestrates your Technicolor yawn when triggered by signals coming from the stomach, intestines, bloodstream, inner ears, or other centers of the brain itself.

Yerping can occur when your body reaches a .15 BAC level. A 120 lb. female could get over a .15 BAC level if she had five standard drinks in a two hour period. A 140 lb. male might toss a sidewalk pizza, reaching a .15 BAC, if he consumed seven standard drinks in two hours. Participating in drinking games and imbibing out of red cups without understanding just how many standard drinks one is actually consuming is a frequent cause of college students launching lunch.

Not everyone who blows chunks has alcohol poisoning that warrants an immediate call to 911, quick medical attention, and being placed on their side. However, suspect serious alcohol poisoning if someone is unresponsive, is cold and clammy, has a pale or bluish tint to their skin, nail beds and/or lips, or has a slow breathing rate (breaths more than 8 seconds apart).

The secret to not barking at the ants is to moderate your drinking and eat enough food to keep your stomach lining happy. You’ll feel better for it. Everyone hates to hork.

The UA Student Optics Chapter hosted its annual Laser Fun Day on March 31. The event teaches Tucson community members and students about the science of light.

Optics chapter sets sights on engaging community

By Brittny Mejia Daily Wildcat

The UA Student Optics Chapter has a lot of vision.

The club hosts events throughout the year in order to build a bridge between the optics department and students, engage with the community and spark an interest in science as a whole.

The International Society for Optics and Photonics and the Optical Society of America funds the majority of the chapter, whose mission includes acting as a student chapter for these societies. This gives students in the department professional opportunities in the field of optics and provides communication between students and faculty or administration, according to Student Optics Chapter President Zach Newman, an optical sciences graduate student.

Although it is mostly made up of graduate students, the chapter welcomes undergraduate students to participate as well, Newman said. Each year, members work together to plan events that will engage the community.

The most recent event the chapter hosted was Laser Fun Day, which allowed attendees to learn about optics in an interesting way. Participants got the chance to eat liquid nitrogen ice cream, learn the history of optics and partcipate in activities such as a laser maze.

“A lot of people don’t realize science can be fun, but it’s seeing stuff like this that can spark interest in science,” said Brittany Lynn, a doctoral student and outreach coordinator for the

chapter. “If you spark it young enough, you get kids, even if they don’t go into science, that pay attention to it when they get older and that will be more aware of world events and the way things move.”

Some parents agreed that events like Laser Fun Day can spark an interest in students as well as increase their understanding of science.

“I think it’s fun, it’s a chance to bring my younger daughter out,” said Henry Knoepfle, an engineer who brought his 7-year-old daughter to the event. “The benefit of events like these is a better science education and understanding of some of how these day-to-day things work.”

At the event, students walked around taking in the different exhibits, while also learning how to pass their knowledge along to others.

“It’s pretty cool, because when you go to the board your shadow is still there … even if you’re at a different place,” said Marisol Aparicio, a kindergartner at Blenman Elementary School, explaining a flash lamp exhibit. “I learned that the shadows stay on the board because the paint is getting excited and that’s on the board.”

Each event hosted is targeted toward the community in order to stimulate interest in science, according to Newman.

“Most kids won’t remember about optics, but if three weeks down the line they stay interested then maybe they can go their own way from there and get into science,” Newman said.

“This is really about getting a spark of interest for kids and then they do the rest themselves. It helps to have something fun and exciting to get their interest started.”
