Regents increase housing rates Shelton presents UA’s strategic business plan, vision for the future

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Members of the Arizona Board of Regents approved revised proposals to increase residence halls and meal plan rates during their meeting on Friday. Proposals for housing rates at the three state universities and meal plan rates at Arizona State University and Northern

Arizona University were rejected Thursday after regents cited the increases as too high. The UA’s revised proposal dropped its increase in these areas from an average of 7.1 percent to 3.5 percent across the board. Vice President for Student Affairs Melissa Vito said students who live or have lived in residence halls have higher grade point averages and graduate at higher rates than those who do not. She said the increases

are necessary to fund the services that contribute to this success. “Our residence halls are really learning communities,” Vito said. “They are not just apartment complexes.” Revenue used to make hall improvements will decrease $920,000 under the new proposal, according to Vito. “We will go back and work with our students and rework what those priorities

would be,” she said. UA President Robert Shelton also presented the UA’s Strategic Business Plan during the meeting. Between now and 2020 the UA will increase enrollment, graduation rates, research funding and community impact, all while using state funding as a lesser percentage of its budget, HOUSING, page 2

ASUA will hold special presidential election By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The YoYo revs up to spin carnival-goers into the air as large crowds filled Rillito Downs on Friday for the 37th annual Spring Fling. The student-run carnival generates around $80,000 each year and serves as a fundraiser for many UA clubs.

Spring Fling rained out By John Kuells ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Spring Fling, which ASUA claims is the largest student-run carnival in the country, was shut down on Saturday due to inclement weather. The carnival, an annual event the Associated Students of the University of Arizona hosts at Rillito Downs, was open Thursday through Sunday but afflicted by a heavy rainstorm that hit Tucson on Saturday. The event was supposed to be open from noon until midnight, but was shut down around 2:30 p.m. Having the event close prematurely

could negatively affect the 3,000 student volunteers aiming to raise money for their various student clubs on campus. The event does not offer refunds for admission, including ride tickets or wristbands, which could be purchased for $25 for unlimited access to rides. Spring Fling was back in full force on Sunday. The carnival’s final day offered guests the chance to see a live performance at 6:30 p.m. and to get a “Last Chance” wristband, which cost $15 for access to unlimited rides. A shuttle ran from the UA to Rillito Downs every half hour and offered UA students transportation to the event.

The carnival was host to a myriad of special events aimed toward UA students as well as community members. Events included free CPR training, a “bike rodeo” intended to teach bike safety training for children and interaction with Chevrolet, which had three cars on site and offered live entertainment and giveaways. More than 25,000 people attended Spring Fling last year, which helped the 120 participating clubs raise approximately $40,000. The event still held regular hours on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Official numbers regarding attendance and money raised are not available at this time and will take a few weeks to calculate.

The ASUA Supreme Court has affirmed the decision by Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti to proceed with a special election to settle the student government’s disputed presidential race. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Supreme Court denied appeals by both presidential candidates after hearings on Thursday night. James Allen had appealed to have his disqualification rescinded, which would have made him the winner of the general election held a month ago. Daniel Hernandez appealed first to ask the court to declare him the winner of the general election, since Allen remained disqualified, and second to bar Allen from competing in the special election due to the gravity of his violations. In previous statements to the Daily Wildcat, Colletti has said a special election would take a few weeks to complete, meaning it would conclude near the end of April, should regular election timeline procedure be observed. Colletti released a tentative timeline that would allow those interested to pick up an elections packet on Tuesday, April 12, and have the election conclude on April 21, though the timeline is still awaiting final approval from the ASUA Senate. The special election is considered a clean slate, as anyone is now eligible to seek the office of president. Neither Allen nor Hernandez are barred from running again, nor will they face any sanctions for their violations committed in the general election.

Tentative special election schedule:

April 12: Candidate packets available at 8 a.m. April 15: Candidate packet due at noon April 16: Campaigning begins for qualified candidates April 21: Election from 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Arizona Cancer Center awarded $2M gift to hire more faculty By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Cancer Center received a $2 million gift from the Del E. Webb Foundation to hire faculty for its new Phoenix facility. The Arizona Cancer Center in Phoenix is scheduled to open at St. Joseph’s Hospital by mid-July of 2011 and plans to hire four medical oncologists and two radiation oncologists within the first year, according to a press release. A 250,000-square-foot, multi-story facility will be constructed by 2013. “It’s something that’s really, really worthy,” said Larry Johnson, president of the Del E. Webb Foundation. “It’s something that is absolutely needed in the valley.” By hiring staff in Phoenix, people living in other towns who need treatment will not

have to drive all the way to Tucson, he said. “What we’re trying to do is not treat the symptoms, but find cures,” Johnson said. Officials from the center said the donation would provide them with the assistance they need to maintain faculty. “It means a tremendous amount to us. It’s more than just the money,” said Dr. David S. Alberts, the director of the Arizona Cancer Center. “The Del E. Webb Foundation is a very prestigious philanthropic foundation.” The money from the foundation will provide $500,000 a year for four years to develop faculty and staff, Alberts said. After the four years, the center will need to have other funding sources, he said. “Part of the process for us deciding to do it has a lot to do with leadership, because you can have a great organization with lousy leadership and nothing goes

The staff generates funds by doing clinical research and seeing patients, he said. There are many teams at the center that treat and research a wide variety of cancers, such as lymphoma, lung, breast and prostate. Every one of the teams has surgical, medical and radiation oncologists. “The quality of the people dealing with your illness makes a big, big difference,” Johnson said. “This is basically several CANCER CENTER, page 2

HOUSING continued from page 1 according to the report. Shelton said he plans on increasing the number of bachelor’s degrees awarded by the UA, from 6,000 in 2011 to 6,900 in 2016. This growth will come from increasing enrollment in community college and other alternate degree pathways as well as improving retention and graduation rates. Additional faculty and facilities will be needed to achieve these goals, Shelton said. He cited the use of Centennial Hall as a classroom as a success in using available space. “How do we maximize the quality of the instruction as we are moving more students through the pipeline with the same or slightly expanded facilities and personnel?” he asked. Research is another focus of the business plan, including expanding research facilities and increasing research funding. Faculty members already bring the UA an average of $345,000 each in research money, Shelton said. “We are going to have to make sure we award and attract good faculty,” he said. Shelton said improving college-readiness and increasing online degree options in high-demand fields are other goals of the strategic business plan. “What we need to emphasize here is getting students to degree completion,” he said. State support will fall from 42 percent of the UA’s education budget in 2011 to 27 percent

Since 1978, the Arizona Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive center in the Southwest, he said. “We also have one of the top-five cancer

in 2016, assuming the state does not cut funding, according to the report. Resident undergraduate tuition will comprise 24 percent of this budget by 2020 while nonresident undergraduate tuition will make up 33 percent. Regent Rick Myers said the breakdown of funding shows the lack of state support. “It does really hit us in the face that now the state is spending less than half the money it costs to educate a student in Arizona,” Myers said. “The rest is paid by the students and their family.” Chair Anne Mariucci said the report was impressive but makes plans starting with initiatives rather than available resources. She said she encouraged the UA to “work backwards.” “I think you’ll start to see the outputs of that,” Mariucci said. “That might really transform how you look at your identity and prepare for the challenges and opportunities that will come in the next five years.” The regents also heard a report from the Getting AHEAD project, which detailed programs for low-cost and alternative degree options. Regent Fred DuVal said the project is fulfilling its goals of increasing degree productivity. Officers for 2011 to 2012 were unanimously approved. DuVal was elected as the new regents’ chair, replacing Mariucci. Regent Bob McClendon was elected as vice chair, Regent LuAnn Leonard was elected secretary and Regent Mark Killian was elected treasurer. Their terms will begin in July. prevention and control research programs in the country,” Alberts said. The outreach and education programs in Tucson will also be brought to the new facility. “To be a comprehensive cancer center, you have to be outstanding in research, training, education, treatment, prevention and outreach,” he said. The Arizona Cancer Center is in partnership with St. Joseph’s Hospital and Catholic Healthcare West, according to Alberts. “We’re thrilled to have that partnership and we’re building something really special together,” Alberts said.

Emily Connally, center, Graduate and Professional Student Council president, waves with members of the council and students with their families. GPSC met in the courtyard of the La Aldea graduate housing complex on Sunday to kick off Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week.

GPSC kicks off appreciation week By Eliza Molk Arizona Daily Wildcat The Graduate and Professional Student Council hosted an International Student and Family Fun Day, at which attendees ate international cuisine and played games as a part of Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week. The event, held Sunday at the La Aldea graduate housing complex courtyard, provided a “fusion menu” including international food prepared by GPSC President Emily Connally and Anthony Johnson, a local chef and longtime GPSC supporter. On the three-course menu were Vietnamese spring rolls with Thai peanut sauce, chili-lime chicken, and baklava. Ryan Saxby, the GPSC events director, said that the Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week as a whole cost about $15,000. He, as well as other GPSC members, spent about 150 hours planning the week’s events. Saxby said the hardest part of planning the event was remembering all the details such as sign-in sheets, sending emails to advertise the events and “making sure that people have food to eat.” He added that restaurants in the Student Union Memorial Center

donated a lot of food for the various events “which helped a lot.” Swapna Aravind, a GPSC representative from the College of Science, said that she and other council members coordinated with the GPSC officers to help plan the events, which were both “pretty intense and easygoing at the same time.” She said that she liked the International Student and Family Fun Day because it focused on international students and was a fun, social event. “We (graduate and professional students) try to come together as much as possible,” she said. Clarissa Sema, a GPSC representative from the College of Pharmacy, said that she liked how the event showed the diversity of the graduate and professional student community. “It (the event) unites all of the graduate students on campus,” she said. Sunday’s event was one of the three featured events included in Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation week, which also offers a “North Campus Breakfast” on Tuesday and a “Backyard BBQ on the UA Mall” on Thursday. Connally said that the council has been hosting Graduate and

Professional Student Appreciation Week for more than 10 years and has pushed to receive national recognition. She explained that because about 20 percent of graduate and professional students are international students, it is important to have an event like International Student and Family Fun Day. “We want to let people know that GPSC exists for them,” she said. Connally explained that a “large portion” of the events’ budget for the week went to campus catering, used because the university approves it. She added that the International Student and Family Fun Day was one of her favorites because she likes cooking and was able to help prepare food for it. She also said that the barbecue is one of her favorite events during the week because a lot of her constituents attend, and she will give out T-shirts.

By Brenna Goth Arizona Daily Wildcat A developing partnership between the UA and the town of Marana is aiming to keep students close to Tucson after they graduate. Marana businesses will work with various UA colleges and programs to build connections with students through opportunities like internships. The initiative began after businesses in Marana told the town government they lack the workforce and workforce development needed to thrive. A meeting between four employers, including Sargent Aerospace & Defense, Lasertel and eight UA units, such as the College of Engineering and UA Career Services launched the partnership in January. Partnerships will differ by employer but may include businesses sponsoring senior capstone projects or hiring directly from the UA. Graduates qualified to work in Marana’s developing technological sector often leave the state to find employment opportunities, said Gilbert Davidson, Marana town manager. “This has been a continuous problem with the best and the brightest coming out of the university system,” he said. “Many times, high paying, good jobs are found outside of Arizona. It’s the old adage ‘brain drain.’” Companies cannot grow and create new jobs without the workforce they need, said Josh Wright, director of strategic initiatives for Marana. He said the problem is a main concern of many Marana businesses. “Companies are saying, ‘How do we get the best people possible working for us?’” Wright said. “It can be a challenge. Sometimes there just aren’t enough engineers. There

aren’t enough people with MBAs. How do you fill those gaps then?” Relationships with the UA can help by familiarizing students with businesses before they graduate, said Nancy Smith, director of corporate and business relations at the UA. “For students, it’s excellent,” she said. “They get real life experience through internships and they get to know a company they might want to work with some day.” The partnership is facilitated by Marana and will include strategic meetings between the UA and employers. Each business will determine its relationship with the UA based on its needs. The College of Engineering has worked with several of the companies individually but has not formed formal partnerships, according to Jeffrey Goldberg, dean of the College of Engineering. “They don’t know what we can do,” he said. “And we don’t know their needs.” Representatives from Sargent Aerospace & Defense started their partnership with the UA by going to a job fair at the Eller College of Management. “We’re a highly technical employer,” said Scott Still, president of Sargent Aerospace & Defense. “The UA puts out some good candidates. If we can keep them at home, that’s a major benefit.” Still said the partnership is continuing to develop but depends on each side expressing its needs. “When have a communication pipeline involved, we’ll have something really good,” he said. Smith said she expects the partnership to benefit both the students and employers. “We’ve already planted many seeds,” she said. “We’re really looking at sustained, high-value relationships.”

EDITORIAL Are we there yet?

T

he road to presidency is long and difficult. But the process of finding an ASUA president is more like the longest road trip ever, during which you and some 3,000 other people are tied to the back bumper of the car and getting dragged along at a million mph. In the election for president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, James Allen won 2,009 votes. Daniel Hernandez won 1,004 votes. Then both were disqualified for violating the Elections Code. Then we saw the ASUA Supreme Court hearing from planet What The Hell is Going On, at which both Allen and Hernandez appealed several of the violations. The Supreme Court removed one of each of the candidates’ violations, which would have put both under the ineligibility limit of 10 violation checks. Because Allen won by a whopping 2-to-1 margin, the Supreme Court hearing should have meant Allen was declared the victor. Instead, Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti upheld the court’s decision in Hernandez’s case but decided to disqualify Allen anyway. The two had similarly silly campaign violations, committed within similar time frames. So why did Hernandez’s appeal have weight when Allen’s doesn’t? There are all sorts of possible answers to that question, but the only one that matters has to come from Colletti. Both candidates then appealed the results of their initial appeals, even though the moment had passed and it was just awkward by that point. After the court’s ruling, but before Colletti announced he planned to uphold Allen’s disqualification anyway, Allen told the Wildcat that he would not appeal again. Then Colletti made his decision. Then Allen appealed. Then Hernandez said he decided to appeal because Allen did. And then the ASUA Supreme Court probably rejoiced because this is likely the most they’ve had to deal with all semester. Naturally, the second round of appeals was no more eventful than the first. The court upheld Allen’s disqualification, and rejected Hernandez’s argument that he should just win by default. Now, after a prolonged and miserable month for ASUA, we finally get a special election. Just disregard that it should have happened after the original general election, or after the first round of appeals. Also disregard that no one except for the Daily Wildcat and people in ASUA care anymore. The date for the end of voting in the special election has been set for April 21. Hernandez and Allen will both be allowed to run again, regardless of what happened, as if both their slates were wiped clean. And the sad thing is, because of how ridiculous the quest for an ASUA president has been, they kind of have been. By the end of the month, just a short couple of weeks from the end of the semester, how many people will bother to vote? And will they remember all the violations and general sliminess that came out of this election? It’s doubtable. Still, you should expect better from “your” student government. Neither candidate has demonstrated that he is worth your time or your second vote. It’s a little too idealistic to picture a dark horse, write-in candidate who will swoop into the special election to conquer all of ASUA’s shortcomings. But it’s fair for you to demand that the candidates do more than echo the buzzwords they used the first time around. Don’t let them ignore this nonsense like it never happened. Ask them about their campaign violations, and how they will do better. At the very least, caring about ASUA’s special election provides a timely excuse to avoid studying for finals.

MAILBAG UAPD’s misplaced priorities threaten safety

Since my first week at the U of A, I have been asking myself a very simple question. In one of the United States’ top 50 crime ridden cities, why are the police on campus more concerned with writing crosswalk tickets than they are with the homeless men attempting to piggyback into the dorms? It seems awfully backwards that a homeless, convicted criminal was able to make it to the elevator of Coronado Residence Hall, but I can name at least five people who have received tickets for over $100 for failing to use the crosswalk. It’s no secret that the area surrounding this university is dangerous. Many students, including myself, carry pepper spray or other sorts of protection with them while walking around our very public campus. I speak for others and myself when I say that I do NOT, however, carry my canister of pepper spray when

I am in my own dorm — nor should I feel as though I have to. It is my honest opinion that the police stationed both on and around this campus should be focusing on more than just giving out MIPs and busting frat parties. The real danger lies not with the student on a bicycle who failed to stop at a stop sign but with the men and women who are attempting to make their way into college students’ bedrooms. — Jade Manzi Psychology freshman

Lack of humor hinders movement

In response to Jennifer Hoefle’s letter to the editor (April 8): I had the pleasure of working alongside the author of “Fabulous Takeover” (April 1). I can assure Ms. Hoefle that his article “Fabulous Takeover” was not intended to ridicule or otherwise offend the gay community. He is a thoughtful, openminded individual who, presumably,

just wanted to make his readers laugh. I understand Ms. Hoefle’s concerns and applaud her efforts in protecting the gay community. As a member of that same community, I am intimately aware of the rejection and abuse gay individuals have suffered at the hands of their friends and especially family members. However, I would like to share with her a piece of wisdom that has proven valuable to me: Pick your battles. Calling the gay community to arms over every stereotype, every gay joke and every potentially offensive comment uttered without malicious intent is not going to further our progress toward equality and may even exacerbate the conflict over gay rights. We need to learn how to laugh at ourselves. Sometimes the stereotypes are harmless. Sometimes they are not. We must make that distinction if we want to see genuine progress. — Kelli Rockandel Ecology and evolutionary biology senior

t was Friday night, people were frolicking through Spring Fling, alcohol for the evening parties was being purchased, and Facebook and Twitter were blowing up with statuses and tweets regarding a government shutdown. Things like, “the government better figure it out real soon” or “Obama is screwin’ up” came across the newsfeed just about every four minutes. Suddenly, people who probably couldn’t tell you how many senators there are in the U.S. Senate, gave a damn about politics. Why? I would like to tell you that it’s because they were being active citizens who felt genuinely invested in their government and its functions. I would like to tell you it’s because they were actively watching the drama unfold as a government shutdown loomed. I would like to tell you that, but, alas, it can’t be said as a truthful statement. Perhaps a handful of people had some clue as to what they were talking about, but let’s just be honest with ourselves. Most people were just taking

in what they saw on the television and suddenly decided that if it was trending on Twitter, they had better talk about it, lest they fall behind in the times. The possibility of a government shutdown was probably the second most talked about topic of 2011, yet knows nothing about. Now I’ll admit, it is a very enthralling topic. The first potential government shutdown in 15 years, Republicans and Democrats pointing fingers, it’s just like a television drama. Except it’s happening in real life. Step aside television, reality just got stimulating enough to get people interested in something they know nothing about outside of the ten minutes of coverage they watched on MSNBC or Fox News. The government shutdown was covered continuously; tension seeped into the public sector and had people fretting like it was swine flu part deux. The sand in the hourglass was running low and then suddenly, things kept going as usual. Budget cuts of roughly $38 billion were approved and the general public went back to sweating over

who will advance to the next round in “American Idol” rather than where that money is being cut from. Speaker of the House John Boehner claims the agreement has a provision that limits abortion funding, while Democrats simultaneously claim the agreement doesn’t include the provisions to restrict funding to Planned Parenthood and other agencies that provide abortions. Nonetheless, that topic isn’t interesting enough to leave the general public thirsty for answers or clarification on how those two clashing statements fit together. Interestingly enough, after the agreement was reached, Facebook, Twitter and casual conversations went right back to how much someone loved the newest episode of “Glee” or how “ragin’” the party on Friday night was going to be. I never thought I would see the day of fair-weather political followers who only come around for drama-filled government turmoil. Nonetheless, take this as a goodbye you fair-weather fanatics; we’ll be seeing you for the presidential election, I’m sure. I can hardly wait to read statuses like “wouldn’t it be cool to have a beer with (insert Republican presidential nominee here)” or “Obama was really gettin’ it in that debate.”

Parties strike deal to avoid government shutdown MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Two hours before the federal government would screech to a midnight halt, House Speaker John A. Boehner, a onetime Cincinnati plastics salesman, faced a restless group of Republican lawmakers. The Republican leader did not have the news they wanted: a budget deal. But Boehner went into the Friday night meeting anyway. He talked for 45 minutes, building the case for compromise. And just when some in the Capitol basement conference room were starting to wonder, an aide slipped into the room. He nodded to the speaker. “We have a deal,” Boehner said. Cheers erupted. His salesman’s calm showed Boehner as an effective negotiator in the midst of rising anxiety over a federal government shutdown. On both ends of Washington’s power corridor, leaders had dug in for a negotiation they knew would go down to the wire as Republicans tried to get a package of steep cuts and policy goals, while Democrats tried to hold the line against a GOP empowered by its 2010 midterm election triumph. Tempers erupted, and at times key figures doubted they could reach a deal. “Tea party” activists protesting outside the Capitol chanted, “Cut it or shut it.” But amid tension and public namecalling, Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., at times worked to win each other’s confidence, according to descriptions of the talks provided by key aides on condition of anonymity. That process began on a Thursday in March after the House passed HR-1, an

ambitious package of $61 billion in spending cuts. Democrats, who controlled the Senate, would never agree to such reductions. Vice President Joe Biden, sent by President Barack Obama to mediate, met with congressional leaders in an office hidden off the Senate floor. Reid concluded that Boehner would need help persuading his members to compromise. One way to do that: have the Senate reject the House bill to show that another offer would be needed. “I’ll tell you what,” Reid said. “I’ll take up HR-1 for a vote.” Boehner appeared relieved. Obama later called Boehner and thanked him for that meeting. But nearly a month passed before Obama called Boehner again — six days before the deadline for another possible shutdown. The president summoned all sides to a Tuesday morning meeting at the White House. Boehner, outmanned by Democrats at the meeting, made the decision to up the ante. His demand: $40 billion in cuts — $7 billion more than Democrats had on the table at the time. The next day, a buoyant Boehner met with fellow Republicans behind closed doors. He told them about the higher offer, and said he had them to thank for supporting him in the move. His eyes filled with tears. The next day, Wednesday, was a brutal day of rhetoric in Congress. Conservative protestors outside the Capitol again called for a government shutdown. Obama convened the parties, late at night. Boehner had not agreed to a number, and pushed for Republican policy provisions. Boehner, Reid and Obama sat down to hash

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, right, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., make a statement after meeting with President Barack Obama at the White House on Wednesday in Washington, D.C. Obama and Vice President Joe Biden invited Boehner and Reid to a late meeting to discuss ongoing negotiations on a budget agreement.

out disputes over abortion, environmental regulation and health care. But the list was long, and there was only one copy. An aide stepped into the West Wing to make photocopies. Minutes ticked away. Boehner deadpanned that the White House needed to “find a faster copy machine.” Obama picked up on the levity. The president pantomimed turning a crank, saying the White House had only an old mimeograph machine. After some laughter, the copies arrived and they went through the policy disputes, line by line. The next day, Obama met with senior aides and asked them to explain the White House position, but not “say anything inflammatory,” one senior aide recalled. “Don’t say anything that makes it harder to get a deal,” Obama told his staff. That night, Boehner and Reid returned to the White House. All eyes were on the clock.

Line by line, they resolved most of the thorny policy issues sought by conservatives. But the abortion provision remained. Obama would not budge on that measure. “That was our line in the sand,” said an aide. Boehner, too, dug in his heels. After a long go-around, the stalemate was wearing nerves as they discussed riders — provisions attached to the budget bill. Biden had had enough. After listening quietly to the discussion, he blew up. “If it’s going to be about riders, let’s take it to the American people,” Biden said. Still, the parties ended the meeting Thursday with a loose agreement on the size of the package and the resolution of most policy provisions. Still hedging, Boehner asked to sleep on it. Meanwhile, aides worked through the night on the specifics.

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Mumbling man punches pedestrian

Police are still searching for a non-UA affiliated male who attacked another man on April 6 in the Warren Avenue pedestrian tunnel . A man and his girlfriend were walking south through the tunnel while a man walking directly behind the couple, was yelling incoherently. Once the couple reached the end of the underpass, the man turned around to see who was following them. Immediately, the suspect attacked the man. Unprovoked, the attacker punched the man in the left ear. In reaction, the man retreated and picked up a rock on the road and wielded it in order to defend himself. The assailant also grabbed a rock and said, “You wanna get crazy, motherfucker?” Subsequently, the suspect noticed that people were beginning to gather around the scene, so he fled. A witness who saw the incident identified the assailant as one of her former high school students from several years prior. Other witnesses also said that they would be able to identify the attacker. The victim did not suffer any injuries from the attack and declined medical attention. However, he did want to pursue criminal charges against his attacker. University of Arizona Police Department officers were unable to locate the attacker after the incident and were not able to contact him at his house. UAPD detectives continue to investigate the active case.

Employee passes out with his shoes on

A UA employee passed out due to excessive alcohol consumption at work on April 6. UAPD officers responded to the University Services building after a caller, the man’s coworker, reported an unconscious man. The coworker had witnessed the man slump down in his chair at his computer. After watching him for a bit, the coworker determined that he hadn’t just nodded off but was actually unconscious. He attempted to wake the man by slightly pushing his chair, poking his shoulder and then shaking his entire body, all to no effect. The coworker said that the man was generally kept to himself but that this was not typical of his behavior. At 2:15 p.m., officers met with the individual as he was being evaluated by Tucson Fire Department. TFD advised the officer that the employee’s resting heart rate of 168 beats per minute was a medical concern and that he should be taken to the hospital. The employee, after exhibiting obvious signs of intoxication and a lack of concern for his high heart rate, was informed by the officer that TFD would not be able to release him without taking him to the hospital. In the emergency room of the University Medical Center, the man became argumentative and uncooperative with UMC staff. He denied taking any drugs or drinking any alcohol and removed leads and blood pressure cuffs while talking with police, against the orders of hospital staff. Security officers were then called in to secure the man in order to draw his blood.

Multiple charges for alleged drug smuggler

An anonymous caller to UAPD on April 7 reported that a UA student was packaging and shipping large amounts of cocaine through his dorm room using the United States Postal Service . At 7:37 p.m., a UAPD officer responded to the Coronado Residence Hall and went to the room of the suspect. After knocking at the door, the two residents came to the door but said they wanted to talk outside of the room. The officer asked the suspected student if he was packaging cocaine, and the student denied the claim. He gave the officer permission to search his half of the room. Inside the room, the officer found a bag of green powder that the resident called “spice,” some plastic bags with white residue, a “cross” joint, two metal containers with white and green residue and a bag with white powder. What the officer asked about the white substance, the student said the bags weren’t his and that he didn’t know how they got there . Also in the room, the officer found a backpack with the resident’s name embroidered on it. Inside the backpack were bottles of alcohol, which the student admitted to owning. The officer arrested him for possession of narcotics, marijuana possession, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a fictitious driver ’s license and minor in possession. A code of conduct referral was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office .

Q What are the dangers of using a reusable menstrual cup like Diva Cup? A. As long as they are used correctly, maintained and cleaned well, reusable menstrual cups are very safe. Current products (sold on the web and at natural food stores) include Diva Cup, Lunette, Instead, and Mooncup. The Diva Cup is a small, silicone, reusable cup that is placed in the vagina for up to 12 hours to collect menstrual blood. It can hold up to one ounce of fluid (most women have an average monthly flow of 1-2 ounces). During the days of menstruation, the cup is emptied, washed with mild soapy water (like a contraceptive diaphragm), and reinserted as needed. Most women empty it once in the morning and once in the evening. Much like a young girl who uses tampons for the first time, menstrual cups do take some getting used to and there may be a bit of an “ick” factor to overcome. Happy users like the fact that cups can be worn safely for longer than a pad or tampon (which should be changed every 4-8 hours). The cup is excellent for activities where changing tampons would be next to impossible (like a day-long kayaking or snorkeling trip). Some

users also say that the cup is much less irritating than pads or tampons. Another advantage of menstrual cups over more traditional feminine hygiene products is the lower cost. One cup lasts 12 months or more. Because menstrual cups are washable and reusable, they can lower one’s carbon footprint and help the environment by reducing the amount of disposable sanitary pads and tampons dumped in landfills on a monthly basis. Menstrual cups have NOT been associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a serious infection caused by toxins produced by two types of bacteria: staphylococcus aureas and group A streptococcus. TSS is sometimes linked to the use of highly absorbent “super” tampons when left in place for too long. For more cup info, check out these two websites: www.divacup.com and www.menstrualcups.org.

Woods A behind-the-scenes look at the UA’s production of a fairy-tale musical Photos and story by: Valentina Martinelli ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A fairy tale comes to life in the Arizona Repertory Theatre’s production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” The musical is the story of a baker and his wife who are on a mission to lift the curse placed on them by a witch. The curse can only be lifted if they are able to find “the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold.” In this musical twist on classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, the narrator guides the audience through the fairy tale world that brings together Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel, and Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk. Arizona Repertory Theatre’s main stage productions involves many people working long hours behind the scenes such as the director, stage managers, dramaturges — historians of the production — lighting designers, costume designers, technical directors, set designers, prop masters, music directors and sound designers just to name a few. The production process for “Into the Woods” started with the director’s concept presentation

to other designers. The director, Robert Gretta, set this production on the eve of World War I in Edwardian England. Gretta, assistant professor in the School of Theatre, Film and Television, said he felt this would mirror the loss of innocence the characters go through from Act One to Act Two. Gretta described the musical as taking a closer look at reality and how people connect with one another. Gretta’s concept provides a unique challenge to designers. Costume designer Patrick Holt said, “You have to respect the period the director has set it in, but at the same time, it is still a fairy tale.” The theater department constructed the majority of the costumes used in this production. The pallet for the costumes was inspired by childrens’ storybook illustrations and Alphonse Mucha Art Deco, and a mix of different textures and fabrics to create a sense of heightened reality. According to Gretta, the musical really is about family. In Act Two of the play, he said all the rules about what defines a family are broken. Holt described the production as “real-life subject matter, but you wouldn’t expect it because it is Cinderella.” “Into the Woods” officially opens this Wednesday in the Marroney Theatre.

Planning for the play begins with the creation of a scale model of the stage, complete with the smallest details. Clare Rowe, an associate professor in the School of Theatre, Film and Television, created the scale model.

Game of the Night

sports Baseball gets first Pacific 10 series win against Cal NBA

100 - 77

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat

With No. 22 Arizona baseball down by two runs to the No. 13 California Golden Bears in the bottom of the ninth on Friday night, the Wildcats needed a spark from their lagging offense. The answer started with pinch hitter Bobby Brown, who doubled into the gap with one out. After Alex Mejia drew a walk to put two runners on, Josh Garcia stepped up to the plate and blooped a double down the left field line to tie the game 4-4. Bobby Rinard came into pinch run for Garcia, who would come around to score the winning run on Jett Bandy’s walk-ff single to give Arizona a 5-4 win. It was much-needed victory for the Wildcats (22-11, 4-5 Pacific 10 Conference), who had previously dropped three straight against conference teams. Friday night’s successes propelled the team to win the first game of the Sunday double header, 10-8, that secured the series victory over the Bears (20-9, 6-3). Despite losing the second game of the double header 17-7, the confidence from getting their first series win will be essential for the team’s progression. “It feels real good. We want to win

in the Pac-10,” Bandy said. “We’re a good team out of conference, but that doesn’t mean anything until you can do it in the Pac-10.” Despite being on the hook for the loss before the offensive production came, Friday starter Kurt Heyer was stellar in his outing, striking out 11 over 8.2 innings of work. After Saturday’s contest was rained out, the double header on Sunday gave way to an offensive explosion for both sides. Both teams combined to score 42 runs on an unthinkable 65 hits in the 18 innings played on Sunday. After winning the first game, Arizona’s bullpen struggles returned in the second game. “The second game got out of hand, we played sloppy in the outfield and did some (other bad) things,” Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said. “We obviously didn’t get any help from the bullpen, and that’s really a concern for me. “We really need to get us a couple of guys out of the pen, to get us to (closer Matt Chaffee).” While the offensive and defensive efforts have been pretty consistent, the lack of a consistent bullpen puts extra pressure on Arizona’s starters to go deep in the game and give Chaffee a lead. In the eighth inning of both of the Sunday games, the Wildcats let in

a combined 10 runs. Regardless of the struggles in the bullpen, the club is satisfied with securing the series win this weekend,

and that confidence will be necessary when the Wildcats face the No. 24 UCLA Bruins next week. “We really needed the wins

this weekend, that was huge for us,” Chaffee said after the game. “Hopefully we can keep that up for next week.”

Tennis’ struggles continue By Zack Rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat

Both the men and women’s tennis teams struggled during the weekend, losing matches at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center against UCLA and Southern California. Both teams will try to regroup this week as they have the weekend off from games.

Track and field stays hot Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona men and women’s track and field teams continued their successful seasons at the Texas Relays in Austin during the weekend. The Wildcat women’s team, ranked No. 11 in the country, was led by sophomore thrower Julie Labonte’s career high 17.71-meter shot put throw which was good enough for a second-place finish. Arizona also shined in the hurdles, with LaTisha Holden completing the 100m event in just 13.09 seconds and Georganne Moline finishing the 400m in 58.95 seconds. Christina Rodgers, Shapri Romero, Echos Blevins and Moline combined to finish the 4x400m relay in 3:35.78, for the second best time in school history. On the men’s side, Arizona placed two high jumpers in the top five, led by Edgar Rivera-Morales (third) and Nick Ross (fourth). Freshman shot putter Bozidar Antunovic finished in second with a throw of 18.78m. The Wildcats will compete in the Mt. Sac Relays next weekend in Walnut, Calif.

Both Arizona tennis teams, beset by injuries, fatigue and just general on-court struggles, are limping to the finish line as the season winds down. The women’s team, ranked No. 29, lost to No. 8 UCLA during the weekend. It was the team’s first home loss of the season as Arizona fell to 2-4 in the Pacific 10 Conference. From the get-go, this match was a struggle for Arizona, as the team lost both doubles matches on its way to losing the doubles point. UCLA’s dynamic No. 27-ranked duo of McCall Jones and Noelle Hickey was simply too much for Natasha Marks and Lacey Smyth to handle, as they downed the Wildcat pair 8-2. Debora Castany and Kim Stubbe, Arizona’s second doubles pairing, found a similar fate in an 8-1 defeat. In singles play, Arizona kept a

few matches close, but still was unable to come out victorious on any of the five courts. On court one, Marks lost to UCLA’s No. 58 McCall Jones 6-0, 6-3. Sophomore Elizabeth Hammond fell to Nina Pantic 6-0, 6-1 and Castany, the junior from Barcelona, fell to Carling Seguso 6-2, 6-0. Smyth gave No. 61 Andrea Remynse everything she had, but unfortunately she couldn’t pull out a victory, narrowly falling 6-4, 6-4. The Wildcats, with the recent forfeitures and losses, find themselves reeling at the worst possible time. But the season is not over, and the team hopes to snap out of its funk in the Pac-10 Championships in Ojai, Calif. The tournament doesn’t start until April 28, so that extra week of rest could not have come at a better time for Arizona. The Wildcat men’s team, on the other hand, is struggling to the point that it might cost the team a chance at the postseason. Against two very tough opponents this weekend in UCLA and

USC, Arizona only mustered one total point in the two matches. They were unable to find the same amount of success they did last year when they shocked everyone and upset the heavily favored Bruins squad. This year, they were swept in a 6-0 loss. “It was a challenging weekend but we look to finish strong with our final two matches,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz. Freshman Kieren Thompson achieved the lone point of the weekend for the Wildcats, winning against USC’s Michael Grant 7-5, 6-7, 10-8. Unfortunately for three other Wildcats, they were forced to face three players ranked in the top 50 in the country in singles. Freshman Giacomo Miccini had the challenge of facing the No. 1 overall player in the country in USC’s Steve Johnson and lost 6-2, 6-2. The men’s team also has a week off before heading to New Mexico to try and halt its eightgame losing streak against Idaho and Boise State.

Softball wins series, drops first Pac-10 game against Beavers By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona Wildcats softball team dropped its first Pacific 10 Conference game of the season against the Oregon State Beavers in Corvallis, Ore., this weekend. Arizona, however, won the series, taking two games from Oregon State (7-12, 1-4 Pac-10). The Wildcats (34-7, 5-1 Pac10) have won five out of their first six conference games. All of the Wildcats’ Pac-10 games have been on the road. Arizona was unable to string together runs in the first game of the series, scoring its only run of the game on a solo shot by third baseman Brigette Del Ponte in the seventh inning. “They (the Beavers) played with a lot more energy, and I told the kids it was like the difference between us and Stanford,” said head coach Mike Candrea of the loss in the first game of the series. Despite registering eight hits — three more than the Beavers — Arizona left 13 batters on base in game one. During the entire weekend, 35 Wildcats were stranded. “They played well and

played hard and we left a lot of runners on base,” Candrea said. “We had our opportunities. We just didn’t capitalize.” Oregon State used a pair of two-out RBIs in the third and fourth innings to take the 3-0 lead before Del Ponte would strike in the seventh. The loss is the first to an unranked team since March 21 when the Wildcats fell to Virginia. Arizona rebounded on Saturday, when looming inclement weather in the forecast for Sunday forced a double header.
