The Trash of the Titans is comprised of Bridgette Geo, a creative writing sophomore, and “horses” Scott Slanina, left, an optical engineering junior, and Nick George, an undecided freshman. The team was participating in the first Tucson Red Bull Charriot Race, which was entirely human-powered.

Red Bull gives you chariots

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA students raced humanpowered chariots at the Red Bull Chariot Race on Friday night. The event was held in the parking lot behind O’Malleys on Fourth Avenue and featured 16 racing teams.

Teams of three crafted chariots with two wheels and a strut. One member rode in the chariot while the other two members pushed or pulled it around a large course.

The competition was open to the entire community, but UA students comprised the majority of teams.

Various student organizations were represented, including some academic programs, Greek Life and clubs.

Chariots were crafted from ski lifts, trashcans, bicycles and more.

Trash of the Titans, a team from the UA Intervarsity Christian

Fellowship, created their chariot from a shopping cart.

“It’s strategically designed with garbage bags, grocery bags, and hangers,” said Vincent Catalano, a computer science senior.

The Future CEOs, a team of Eller Juris Doctorate and Master of Business Administration students, designed their chariot with efficiency in mind.

“We chose a low cost yet functional way, and we hope that we win,” said Robert Reynolds, an Eller graduate student. “We’re using a pull method.

We’re hoping it will give us more power, strength and stability.”

Racers were encouraged to dress in costumes for the event. Several teams wore togas and other Romaninspired gear.

Teams competed for one of three awards. The Hermes Award went to the team who won the final heat of the race. The Archimedes Award

went to the team with the most creative chariot. Audience members were asked to vote to determine the winner of the final award, the People’s Choice Award.

The teams were evaluated by a panel of judges, which included Scott Speed from the Red Bull NASCAR Racing Team and the former Wilma Wildcat, environmental science junior Camila Guzman.

“I’m looking for the most creative and funniest (chariot), the one that gives my heart happy wings,” Guzman said.

The teams were divided into eight heats. One team from each heat advanced to the next round.

“Get ahead, cut them off and hold on tight,” said Briana Nute, a finance sophomore, describing her strategy.

Nute competed with Tres Gatos, the UA Tricats team.

Racers were supported by a large

crowd as numerous chariots crashed and crumbled. Several people fell out of their chariots and raced to the finish line on foot.

“I think it’s great. And dangerous,” said Garrett Voepel, a computer science sophomore, as he watched the competition.

The final heat of the race pitted Tres Gatos and the Rollin’ 20’s, the UA Cycling team, against one another.

The Rollin’ 20’s won the race, but a false start forced a re-match.

The Rollin’ 20’s narrowly beat Tres Gatos a second time, bringing a victory to UA Cycling. The team also received Red Bull racing gear.

The team rejoiced after their win, noting the constant competition between Cycling and Tricats.

“It feels freaking awesome,” said Maddie Hack, an optical engineering sophomore, of the win. “It’s a huge feud. This is bigger than us.”

As visitors walked through the doors of the University of Advancing Technology in Phoenix on Saturday, they were welcomed by a sea of computers and other technology gadgets that operated as a part of this years Avnet Tech Games.

Students from colleges all over Arizona, including the UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University, competed in the fifth annual technology competition geared toward technology- and business-savvy students.

“Arizona students are on-site competing in engineering, computer science, business orientated and environmentally friendly challenges hoping to win scholarships and other prizes,” said Teri Radosevich, vicepresident of Community Relations and Public Affairs for Avnet Inc. The nine challenges, including a robot obstacle course race and a marketing pitch competition, provided a platform for competitors to test their knowledge, creativity and problem solving skills.

“I got a group of people together that work in the technology departments of Avnet Inc. and asked them what they look for in potential employees,” Radosevich said. “With the input of professors, we created these games as an opportunity for students to showcase their skills.”

Close to $50,000 was awarded over the course of the day in scholarships, gift cards and the Apple iPad. Trevor Didell, a senior in the Eller College of Management, and Megan Sykes, a psychology junior, were two of the many UA students looking for a piece of the prize.

“I was introduced to the games last year by my mom; she works for Avnet Inc.” Sykes said. “The challenges are very tech based, but there are also mini-games and events for those not wanting to build a robot.”

Prop.100 UA celebrates African culture debated

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Members of the media, legislature and business world debated Proposition 100’s one-cent sales tax increase Sunday night in a forum aptly named“Arizona Sales Tax: Fix or Folly.”

Moderated by Bill Buckmaster of Arizona Illustrated, the debate featured pro and con debators, an economist for monetary perspective and media members to deliver questions. Audience members were welcome to engage in the Q-and-A session as well.

“We’re here tonight to discuss the future of the state of Arizona,”Buckmaster said as the hour-long forum commenced Sunday.

Proposition 100 is a temporary increase in the Arizona sales tax from 5.6 to 6.6 cents on each dollar, with two-thirds of the money earmarked for education and the other one-third reserved for health care and public safety services. The three-year tax will be passed or rejected in the special election vote on May 18.

Ann-Eve Pedersen, president of the board of the Arizona Education Network and former journalist for the Arizona Daily Star and Tucson Citizen, represented the PROPOSITION, page 5

Up against Spring Fling, the Eighth Annual African Cultural Showcase still drew a crowd of more than 100 community members, all present to celebrate the beauty and pride of Africa.

Headed by the African Student Association, the two-hour showcase focused on African pride and diversity within the African Diaspora.

Presentations on important figures and places, the first soccer World Cup to be held in South Africa and a tribute to Haiti were all new features to expand the educational aspect of the event, according to Sophia Tekle, treasurer for African Student Association.

“Our mission statement in ASA (African Student Association) is to spread African culture,” Tekle said. “We want people to see all our hard work.”

Theshowcasereceivedco-sponsorship from the Residence Hall Association, and all the proceeds were donated to two children from Niger and Senegal.

Tekle noted her excitement about spreading the culture and knowledge of the African Diaspora to the greater UA community.

Before the event, lines formed with people fired up for the event.

“I’m excited for the performances,” said Nathanaelle Michel, a prephysiology sophomore.

liked the breadth of knowledge the club presents and the type of community it forms.

“I like ASA (African Student Association) because it touches base with

every single issue,” she said. “You just learn different things from everybody.”

During the show, singers, dancers, rappers and poets expressed a connection with Africa.

Pre-physiology freshman What kind of last name is that?

It’s Serbian, and then, on top of that, it’s hyphenated.

So have you read all the Harry Potter books and watched all the movies?

Yeah.

Did you watch the Quidditch tournament on Saturday?

I saw it, I passed by it. It’s right behind my dorm.

Any interesting highlights?

I didn’t really get to see much of it. It was weird that they didn’t use brooms, though. They were just throwing balls at each other. … There wasn’t any flying.

How would you set up your own tournament?

I had a friend show me funny online clips, and they have it where you have to be holding a broom. So I feel that makes more sense, at least. It’s pretty much the point of Quidditch. Other than that, it was good.

But wouldn’t you just end up sweeping the ground as you’re running around?

Yeah, but it makes it harder.

(Friend: I feel like Quidditch is just ground sweeping.)

So if you wanted some kids to clean up a patio, you’d be like, “It’s Quidditch time!”

(Laughs.) Yeah.

What position would you play?

Seeker, why not? It’s the coolest position.

What else would you want to see reenacted from the books?

Well, I don’t know how they do the whole thing with the seeker and the snitch. Do they chase someone around? I have a friend who is a huge Harry Potter fan, and he sent me an image of some East Coast schools that put on a legit Quidditch tournament.

And they have some kid dressed in all gold with a sock hanging out in the back. So they have like…

Wait, why the sock?

So they don’t have to tackle the kid to catch him. They just grab the sock.

OK. That’s odd.

(Friend: I would tackle him. Hit him with a broom.)

When I hear that, what comes to mind is one of the James Bond movies that has a woman painted all in gold. I kind of see that for Quidditch.

I guess you could use gold paint. Or just real clothes would probably be easier.

It’d be like a gold lamé suit.

Yeah, American Apparel would probably have something that could work.

Undra Guyton helps her 4-year-old daughter Chierra grab her prize from Jade Fann, a pre-pharmacy freshman, at Spring Fling on Saturday. Chierra almost could not play the Rising Waters water race game because she was out of tickets, but stood her ground at the game until a generous stranger gave her some tickets with which to compete.

Alaska eagle survives plunge after mating dance ANCHORAGE, Alaska — An acrobatic display of passion proved too much for a pair of eagles engaged in a mating dance over Alaska’s Prince William Sound.

The female bird is recovering from an injured wing and other injuries sustained when the couple slammed beak-first into a hard snowbank in what her rescuers believe was an aerial courting ritual gone awry. The male eagle died in the impact, which left the birds buried upside down at least two feet in the snow in the town of Valdez.

It’s mating season for eagles, who

perform an elaborate ritual where they clasp talons and spiral toward the ground.

This pair probably got caught up in the throes of the moment, said Bob Benda, a bird rescuer and biology professor at Prince William Sound Community College who was among those responding to the Easter Sunday crash.

“They just lose track of what they’re doing and don’t know how close they are to the ground,”he said.“It’s raging hormones or something.”

But most eagles fling themselves back to

reality instead of diving through a crunchy layer of snow. In this case, the male landed next to the female. If the talons had been locked, they were now separated, possibly thrust apart by the velocity of the landing.

Benda said he thought both eagles had died but then noticed the female was breathing. He helped arrange the eagle’s transfer to the Anchorage-based Bird Treatment and Learning Center, where she is slowly emerging from shock.

LAS VEGAS — “Star Trek” lovers looking for Enterprise chairs, Starfleet uniforms or a model Klingon Bird of Prey can seek out new life for the dismantled pieces of a closed Las Vegas attraction based on the famous franchise.

Auctioneer Propworx Inc. plans to sell roughly 1,000 items large and small from Star Trek: The Experience at a warehouse sale Saturday in Las Vegas, CEO Alec Peters said.

The attraction, based on the beloved television series and movies, closed in 2008 after a 10-year run.

“Anything like this, you’re sad to see it go, but on the other Patrick Stewart hand it’s an opportunity for fans to preserve the stuff,” Peters said. “It’s an opportunity for the studio to get it in the hands of people who made it great.

“I think it is bittersweet — we try to make it fun,” Peters said.

Among the items for sale are three large models of spaceships in need of repair or restoration — the U.S.S. Enterprise A, the U.S.S. Voyager and the Bird of Prey — as well as a replica of the Enterprise bridge from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

Peters said a Borg alcove — where members of the synthetically enhanced drone race recharge and synch with a hive mind — is on sale for $800.

Also on sale are costumes and knickknacks, starting at $10, Peters said.

The attraction folded in “Star Trek” mythology, billing itself as a “21st-century time station” used to transport personnel and equipment to and from the late 24th century. The story was that the Experience let folks of the future meet and study many human cultures in a single place where they often converge — Sin City.

The attraction included two rides where visitors were transported to the U.S.S. Enterprise, rode in a shuttle or faced a Borg encounter.

Mike Cornwell, the executive officer of a local Star Trek fan club that helped set up the memorabilia sale, said Friday that members of the club have been sad about the immersive experience going away.

“We see it as such a waste that they closed it down,” Cornwell said. “It’s really a blow to all Star Trek fans everywhere.”

Cornwell, 47, said he hopes to buy a certain piece of the exhibit’s History of the Future, which chronicled the history of the Star Trek universe.

The UA Capoeira Club provided music and a welcoming atmosphere for Tucson elementary and high school students who participated in the Brazilian martial art and dance of Capoeira. The fair, celebrating world languages and culture, also included other artistic performances by the students.

Language Fair showcases world cultures with arts performances

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA hosted the 2010 Southern Arizona Language Fair, a coalescence of language and cultures, for students from kindergarten to college.

Schools from all around southern Arizona came to the UA to participate.

The fair included live music, art, poetry, food and dance.

There were also art contests and oral proficiency exams.

Many UA departments had booths with students and teachers eager to talk about language and culture.

“I come here every year; I love it,” said Kelly Lowther Pereira, a UA graduate

teaching associate in Portuguese and Spanish.

“I think it is great for kids to learn about different cultures and open their minds.”

The UA classics department put on performances in Latin every hour and wrote people’s names in Greek.

Joshua Lee, a mechanical engineering freshman, passed out photocopies of train tickets from Germany for “wherever you want to go in Germany.”

“I like how they do something different for each region, each culture, each language,” Lee said.

Bill Rice, a member of the board of directors for the Turkish Students Association, said he participated in the fair when he was studying Turkish.

“That was very helpful learning a poem

and reciting (it),” he said.

Tolan Thornton, a junior majoring in French, Chinese and business, said he knew within his first week at UA that he wanted to major in French.

Thornton said he studied French in middle school and high school and didn’t want to stop.

Thornton said he was also majoring in Chinese because he had always wanted to pick up a third language and plans on studying abroad in China.

This is Thornton’s second year participating in the Language Fair.

“I think it is a really cool opportunity for the larger Tucson community to interact,” Thornton said. “There are many generations coming together.”

The curse of the thinking class B

ottoms up, ladies: In a recent study done by the London School of Economics, researchers have concluded that the cleverest women are the heaviest drinkers.

An April 4 article in the Telegraph reported, “Those with degrees are almost twice as likely to drink daily,” and that “women who achieved ‘medium’ or ‘high’ test marks as schoolgirls are up to 2.1 times more Anna Swenson likely to drink Opinions editor daily as adults.”

The study also found that “(a) similar link between educational attainment and alcohol consumption is seen among men, but the correlation is less strong.” So that guy who’s drunk in class might actually be a genius, and that random girl passed out on the stairs could really be smarter than you, even if she looks really, really dumb at the moment.

But not all is cosmos and bubbly for the literate ladies. According to the Telegraph article, the report concludes: “The more educated women are, the more likely … to report having problems due to their drinking patterns” and that “higher educated women were 1.7 times more likely to have a drinking problem.”

Trying to understand how it could be that the smartest girls drink the most might be like trying to solve differential equations after half a bottle of Jose Cuervo, but there are several reasons smart women drink more. And it’s not just to be able listen to the level of discourse at the average college party without retching.

According to the report, “Reasons for the positive association of education and drinking behaviors may include: a more intensive social life that encourages alcohol intake; a greater engagement into traditionally male spheres of life, a greater social acceptability of alcohol use and abuse; more exposure to alcohol use during formative years; and greater postponement of childbearing and its responsibilities among the better educated.”

The researchers continued, “People with higher qualifications have more disposable income,” implying smart women have more money to burn on $4-a-bottle Belgian beer with a 9 percent alcohol by volume versus the 3 percent of the poor man’s Keystone.

What the researchers do not seem to consider, however, is the increasing significance of drinking as a sign of feminine control.

Gender roles have changed drastically in the last thirty years, and researchers may be seeing women’s last gulp at equality.

In a 2008 article in New York Magazine, Alex Morris concluded that women are not drinking more to lose control but to assert it: “A woman exerting her power by making herself incapacitated does not read as a disjunction.

Control — and the decision of when and how to lose it — is the point.”

Morris wrote, “My point here is that the closing of the gender gap isn’t about men needing to compete with men or wanting to feel like men. It’s about women going after the things they want, and feeling that alcohol, variously, can help them. If men come into the picture at all, it’s only because what women sometimes want is sex, the final frontier of gender equality, and the socially sanctified follies of alcohol set the stage perfectly for the type of sex women may want but fear is unacceptable to seek.”

The fact that women are drinking more is not, when considered alone, particularly concerning, but the fact that women are having more problems with drinking is. In 2005, more than 55 percent of the students on college campuses who met the clinical description of alcoholism were women.

The researchers of the London Sschool of Economics study are correct that cultural changes are factors in this tipsy trend and that well-educated women may drink more because they have children later, have more disposable income or work in a maledominated field in which their co-workers drink. But Morris’ point is a strong one: women aren’t drinking because of men.

So why are women drinking more, and why are more well-educated women having problems with alcoholism? This might be explained through the possibility that these women are more aware of the problems than their lower-scoring counterparts. More likely, however, is that women are drinking more because it is the last culturally acceptable way to lose control.

MAILBAG Letter to the editor

experience. Nice job, though. I can see why this is circling around Twitter so much. At the very least, it’s definitely a discussion starter.

I normally enjoy The Wildcat and am a supporter of student publications; however, I was very disappointed to see the public defamation of Cory Chitwood and the UA swim team on the front page. The story had no comments from any people on the team supposedly involved and was seemingly fabricated based on the lack of merit or research done by your reporter. It seems more of a“he said, she said”gossip story.

The article even states no police report was filed. The undeserving damage is done to Cory’s name as well as the entire team. Coach Frank Busch is very respected in the Tucson community, and the athletes work very hard every year to obtain a high reputation, but your article tore it down recklessly.

I hope in the future you have more caution and regard for others before printing blatant slander.

On ‘Free to make your own choices? Stick that in your pipe and smoke it,’ April 6

Do you know, if these things are thought through properly, there wouldn’t be a need for all this aggro. Give alternatives. Example, pubs, put a sign outside saying that the pub is either smoking or non smoking. Any problem with that. the smokers are happy, the non smokers are happy, the business is happy, the taxman is happy.

Oh and that thing about it not being normal, that came from a student did it. Ha! students, normal. Nah, the two don’t go together.

Comments from dailywildcat.com On ‘How Microsoft will drop the ball on project Natal,’ April 7 This article is all over the Internet. Good to see that Natal isn’t beyond criticism. Probably the first article of its kind right now; all we’ve heard about it are good things from our normal media sources. It’s hard not to agree that gamers should be playing it and testing it, not the media. Also, Natal has been having severe lag problems with the camera, which are well documented, and no one is mentioning that, with motion based games, this could completely ruin the

— A Brit As a smoker, I wouldn’t be offended if someone told me I had to go to a designated spot for smoking, but I would be crazy pissed if they told me I couldn’t smoke on campus at all. The fact of whether or not second hand smoke is dangerous is not that concerning to me. The overall lack of concern for others with an attitude that completely disregards the fact that many people don’t want to be exposed to smoke is a far more obnoxious stance.

As a considerate smoker, I would be willing to make a compromise and smoke somewhere else, so I knew that if someone who did not want to be around all the cancer and coughing had the option of avoiding it.

Pollen for you

The (North Carolina State University) campus has been covered by record amounts of pollen this week; Wednesday’s level was 3,524 pollen grains per cubic meter.

As bad as the pollen is, it will soon be swept away by spring showers. The litter and other campus pollutants, like cigarette butts, will remain unless students and the entire university community make a real effort to eliminate them.

Raleigh’s (N.C.) pollen count hit the highest level in recorded history Wednesday with 3,524 pollen grains per cubic meter. The trees released their wrath on the campus — it was anything but good.

Students and faculty alike have walked about sneezing, with running noses and blood-shot eyes, due to nature’s version of a hot and fast, reproductive romance.

There’s not much students can do about pollen, though Thursday night’s thunderstorms may help a little. But, we can clean up the rest of campus.

When the tree pollen finally clears in a couple weeks, the campus will return to its normal self; its normal litter and cigarette-buttcovered self.

The university consistently ranks well in sustainability competitions and recyclable collecting with programs like WE Recycle, but we still struggle with some basic littering issues. A walk around campus — or worse, its fringes — easily exemplifies this problem and shows the necessity for some basic campus renewal.

Service Raleigh and other programs like it during the year are great steps to keep these problems down, but they shouldn’t have to be solutions.

Students and administration must make a better effort to facilitate the cleanliness of campus in its most basic sense.

It you’re smoking a cigarette — 25 feet from the nearest building, of course — make an effort to put the butt in one of the receptacles; if one isn’t readily available, request one be put there.

If you see trash lying on the ground, don’t just walk over it as if you hadn’t seen it. Pick it up.

Large campus beautification projects are long and complex processes. Cleaning up the campus doesn’t take nearly the same amount of time.

The awful yellow sheet on the ground will soon be gone, but the litter in students’ midst won’t unless they make an effort to be the change.

Badu romance

Erykah Badu. Her name is synonymous with good music, alternative thought processes, and now, a naked stunt. Most students can admit to growing up listening to Badu’s profound, thought-provoking music, and hearing about her unusual behavior, for example, her unconventional fashion sense, or the fact that she named her first-born son “Seven” in honor of “the divine number which can’t be divided.”There’s no denying that the woman is a fascinating individual and an extremely talented artist. In a time when the vast majority of musical artists look and sound the same, she stands out as a real talent.

After enduring her achingly long hiatus, fans were excited to learn she was releasing her first studio album in years and even more excited to see what she would decided to film for her first video to“Window Seat,”a track on her recently released album. In what she explained to the press after the video’s release as a dedication to one of her heroes, John F. Kennedy, Badu walked through Dallas’s crowded Dealey Plaza, stripping naked and falling to the ground as if she’d been shot. The five minute video was shot guerilla style, meaning there was no permit, closed set or warning for the shoppers and bystanders witnessing her strip show.

Initially, no one pressed charges for her naked demonstration. But at the persistent urging of Dallas officials, a witness whose two small children saw the show decided to go ahead and press charges on the grounds that Badu’s nudity offended her children. Badu has been fined $500 for her performance.

The controversial video was shot March 13. Her album was released March 30. The press and attention, whether positive or negative, is huge when you strip naked and fall on the ground in the middle of a public shopping area.

Everyone from hosts of morning radio shows to hip-hop gossip bloggers to national news networks were talking about it.

We’re not saying Badu wasn’t attempting to prove a point with her naked demonstration. We’re just saying that it was perfectly timed to coincide with the release of her first album in two years. People would’ve bought her album regardless of whether or not she decided to strip in front of innocent pedestrians. It was a blatant publicity stunt; people all over the country who might have never heard her name before this now know exactly who she is.

She doesn’t have to act like she was simply paying homage to one of her heroes. We know she also did it to get some easy publicity, and a $500 fine is a small price to pay for the huge amount of attention she’s received, and more importantly, potentially higher album sales.

Employer networking important for future grads

a Twitter account and an amped-up Web site to promote the competition.

“Previous years, students have heard about the games by word of mouth and faculty at their schools,” Radosevich said. “This year, we made an effort to increase our social media.”

This is the second year the UA has competed in the games. Student participation has increased and is a strong indication that Avnet’s social networking has worked.

A portion of the 10-hour day was devoted to a social networking session in which students were able to mingle with career professionals who could offer advice and guidance to those looking for opportunities upon graduation.

“One of the hosts of today’s events was actually a contestant in the games the first year they started. Six months later, he was offered a job with Avnet Inc.,” said

Cory Fetter, a public relations intern working the event.

Didell hoped the networking hour could serve as a way to mingle with potential employers.

“I am graduating in May and currently on the lookout for a job. Interviewing with some of the professionals here today could lead to employment, and that’s huge.” he said.

“It’s tough out there, and the people you meet here could create future success.”

Sykes agrees that the benefits students stand to reap from the tech games far outweigh any obstacles one may have in becoming a contestant.

“The 100-mile drive from Tucson is completely worth it.

Last year, both Trevor (Didell) and I won $500 competing, and, with that money, we were able to take a cruise,” she said.

Sykes and Didell have not been the only ones to see success. Since the creation of the games in 2006, nearly

$180,000 has been awarded to hundreds of the 1,050 students and 100 faculty members who have participated.

This year, four UA students were each awarded a $1,000 scholarship to use toward any education-related cost after winning the Pitch-Event Creation challenge.

The challenge was to create a themed concept and design, complete with video and graphical treatments, to Omni Corporation International for an upcoming event.

Didell predicted the win, saying with definitiveness, “The presentation blew me away. It had to win.”

With increased participation this year and expanded outreach programs, Radosevich hopes more people will benefit from all the Avnet Tech Games has to offer.

“We encourage students to stay involved and engaged with everything they stand to do,” she said.

Robert Lee, a teacher at Basis High School, leads a dream workshop in the Little Chapel of All Nations on Friday. The workshop consisted of dream analysis as well as an explanation of the significance of the phenomenon of dreams.

Workshop interprets meaning of dreams

Ann-Eve Pederson, left, of the Arizona Education Network, debates in favor of Proposition 100 against Farrell Quinlan, Arizona director of the National Federation of Independent business, during a fourm on Proposition 100 at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre on Sunday.

PROPOSITION

Education affiliates push for ‘Yes’

continued from page 1 pro-Proposition 100 stance. Farrell Quinlan, the Arizona state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, represented the con side.

Playing to a strongly proaudience, the first claps of the night were garnered by Pedersen when she addressed the business climate in relation to education.

“They way that we attract companies to Arizona and the way we keep companies here is by providing a quality education system,” Pedersen said. “If we gut our education system, we are putting up a closed for business sign in front of the state of Arizona.”

Although both sides admitted Proposition 100 is not a full solution but rather a stop-gap measure to stop the estimated $107 million to be cut from state universities — $42 million from the UA alone — Quinlan said Proposition 100 may open the door for new taxes.

“Prop. 100 does not solve the problem. I’m not saying cut

taxes, I’m just saying don’t raise them,” Quinlan said. “We have a huge depression in revenues in the state. Raising taxes and squeezing more out of the folks who don’t have the money is not the answer.”

Mark Stegeman, UA economics associate professor, was among the handful of audience members who asked questions of the panel.

“They both showed the intensity of their beliefs, and that reflects the intensity in their community,” Stegeman said.

Media members included Jim Nintzel from the Tucson Weekly, Linda Valdez of The Arizona Republic and Tom McNamara from KVOA-TV Channel 4.

Stanley S. Reynolds, Eller College of Management economics professor, acted as a neutral economist for the panel.

Organized by the Arizona Students’ Association and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona in partnership with Arizona Public Media, the forum was held on campus to

educate people affected.

“A ‘Yes’ vote on Prop 100 is a vote for yourself and a vote for your future,”said Elma Delic, board chair for ASA.“The first thing they see is a sales tax and think they’ll be paying more. I don’t think they really see how much money this will bring in for education and public safety.

I really think that students need to understand that.”

ASA will hold events on the UA Mall this week, including free Eegee’s and cotton candy, for students to register to vote and get more information about Proposition 100.

Pedersen, who likened a vote for Proposition 100 as “a vote for education not incarceration,” felt the need for students to get involved as well.

“The quality of the education (students) are going to be receiving is going down,”Pedersen said.“The UA has already lost 600 jobs and cut 24 programs, and without (Prop 100) it will lose 500 more jobs and definitely have to cut more programs.”

A dream workshop held last Friday gave students and Tucson residents the opportunity to interpret their dreams.

The workshop was the first of a series of dream workshops held at the Little Chapel of All Nations, which is located on First Street and Highland Avenue.

The calm lighting, paintings, spiritual figurines and scriptures painted on the wall provided a tranquil atmosphere.

“When people analyze their dreams, they can enhance their lives. The group’s purpose is to promote not only spiritual enhancement, but personal transformation in terms of mental health and development,” said Robert Lee, event coordinator and creator of the Alchemist Dream Association.

The session began with an introduction from each guest and a brief explanation of how dreams are affecting their lives.

Following the introduction, guests took part in a five-minute meditation to center their mind, body and soul.

The workshop had a Jungian influence, inspired by the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Jung.

Lee made a point to remind guests that dreams are very personal for some people, and the chapel should be considered “hermetically sealed.”

“Hermes is bringing our dreams and keeping them sacred,” Lee said.

Each guest gave their interpretations of each other’s dreams. Some took a logical

stance when interpreting dreams and others took a more abstract approach.

Rebus, a representation of a phrase by pictures, is a particular approach to analyzing dreams, which was presented in the workshop. An example of rebus used in the dream discussion was that if a person dreams of a cat on a log, their dream could have some correlation to a catalog.

One guest described a specific dream he had that showed the name, “F. Grimes” written twice on a white sheet of paper.

He explained that, prior to the dream, the name had no significance in his life.

A couple weeks later, he traveled to his family’s house in Pennsylvania, where he noticed a white envelope. He could not remember the exact name, but the envelope had a name beginning with “F” followed by the last name, “Grimes” printed on it.

The mysterious F. Grimes turned out to be a photographer the family had previously hired to take vacation photos. He never had the chance to meet F. Grimes.

“Sharing dreams is a very personal experience that can help broaden people’s consciousness,” said Kathryn Welch, a 33-year-old Tucson resident.

Equipment stolen from Escalade

A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived at the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage on Tuesday at 5:55 p.m. after a UA student reported that his car had been broken into.

The officer spoke with a man, who said that he parked his 2004 Escalade in the garage at 3:30 p.m., and, when he returned to his car at 5:30 p.m., he found the rear passenger door open.

The man noticed a DVD player worth $300, subwoofer speakers worth $320, a speaker box worth $100 and an amplifier worth $250 were missing.

A gate opener worth $550 was also taken.

The lock on the door had been punched out, and wiring was exposed where the DVD player had been.

The officer also noted that a panel in the back of the car had been yanked out and damaged.

The officer attempted to take fingerprints from the damaged property but failed.

The man told the officer that some of his father’s belongings might have also been stolen but he would have to check.

There were no suspects or witnesses in the area, and the man was issued his case number and victim’s rights.

Traffic sign missing, fraternity searched

A UAPD officer arrived to the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house on April 3 at 12:13 p.m. after a UA employee reported a stolen traffic sign.

The man told the officer that he went to work on April 2 at 10:30 p.m. and saw the sign on the way but when he left the maintenance shop at 12:10 a.m. he noticed it was gone.

The employee said that he thought it might have been some of the members of his fraternity who took the sign because, on April 2, it had been found inside the house by the front door.

The officer spoke with members of the fraternity and asked if they had taken the sign again. The men said that they had not and escorted the officer through the house so that he could check to make sure it was not there.

The officer did not find the sign inside the house.

The fraternity president was advised to check with members who were not present while the officer was searching and to call UAPD if he found out any information.

There were no suspects or witnesses to the theft.

Laptop stolen from library

A woman called UAPD on April 6 at 8:39 p.m. and reported that her laptop was stolen from the UA Science and Engineering Library.

She told the officer that she had been studying on the fourth floor, and when she left to go to the bathroom, she noticed, when she returned, that her Gateway notebook computer had been stolen.

She also said that her papers were not how she left them and that whoever stole her computer left the power cord plugged into the wall and left her backpack on the table.

The officer asked her if she had noticed anyone around her who looked to be“out of place”before she left for the bathroom, and she said no.

The case was forwarded to investigations so that footage of the library could be reviewed to look for possible suspects or witnesses.

The woman was mailed her victims rights.

Man harassed on walk home

A UAPD officer arrived to the area outside of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity at 1050 N. Cherry Ave. on April 6 at 2:04 a.m. after a man reported being harassed by an unknown group of men.

The man told the officer that he was walking north on Cherry Avenue coming from the UA Main Library when a blue Acura pulled up next to him as he was walking.

The front passenger rolled his window down and asked the man if he “wanted to touch his dick.”

The man ignored the passenger, and then the man stopped and told the man in the car,“No, you fag.”

The car stopped following him at the intersection of Second Street and Cherry Avenue.

The man was unable to provide a detailed description other than there were four men in the car and all looked to be a little older than college age.

The man was able to write down the license plate number, and it came back as belonging to a woman with no UA affiliation.

Gay rights activist Lee Glaze, 72, joins a rally to demand an end to Social Security discrimination against taxpaying couples of the same sex in Los Angeles, Calif., on Sunday.

CA protests gay discrimination The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — California and local officials joined hundreds of people outside of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center in Hollywood on Sunday morning to kick off a national grass-roots campaign demanding equal Social Security benefits for same-sex couples.

The rally and march — dubbed Rock for Equality — was put together by the center and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in conjunction with the Aids Community Action Foundation, said Jim Key, a spokesman for the center.

At the rally, Rep. Linda T. Sanchez,D-Calif.,whoisamember of the House Subcommittee on Social Security, announced that she would sponsor legislation

to provide equal Social Security benefits for same-sex couples.

“I don’t think it’s right that Americans should be treated differently by the country they love because of who they love,” she said, triggering thunderous applause and cheers from the crowd. “Right now, same-sex marriage couples pay equally into a system that they don’t receive equal benefits from in return. Shame on this country for allowing that to happen.”

As of now, people in same-sex relationships are denied Social Security survivor benefits from their deceased partners because the federal government does not recognize same-sex marriages or domestic partnerships as valid relationships.

Sanchez’s bill calls for the Social Security Administration

to recognize those civil unions or domestic partnerships as valid relationships for the purpose of disbursing survivor benefits that heterosexual couples with a marriage certificate now receive.

“I’m saying to the Social Security Administration, this must stop,” Sanchez said. Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., who also attended the event, offered to co-author the bill. “In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act as a law to protect the elderly from poverty. It was a great moment, but the act wasn’t perfect,” Chu told the crowd. “In 1966, members of the armed services were added. In 1983, federal employees were added. And, in the year 2010, that will be the year people from the LGBT community will be added.”

Q

Is it normal for a penis to have a curve in it when erect?

A. Yes. Most bodies (and boners) are asymmetrical.

Penises can curve in either direction and at varying angles. This is caused by variability in the muscles at the base of the penis, supporting skin,

Q

and connective tissue. As long as your unit is working well and not painful, there is no cause for concern. Some partners may even find your curve sexier and more satisfying than a straight penis!

How can females protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during sex with another female?

A. This is an often overlooked issue. Many people assume that lesbians, or any woman (gay or straight) who has woman-to-woman sex, are not at risk for STIs. The health risks of womanto-woman sex are much lower than man-to-man or heterosexual contact but the risks still exist.

According to the Centers for Disease Control the transmission of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) from one woman to another is rare but possible. Exposure to blood and vaginal secretions can lead to HIV and other infections.

Women who have sex with women can pass certain conditions (bacterial vaginosis, hepatitis, herpes, HPV, trichomoniasis, and yeast infections, etc.) through sex play.

To reduce your risks (regardless of your partner’s gender) you will want to keep their bodily fluids from touching your body – particularly the mucous membranes of your vagina, anus, mouth.

Barriers – including latex dams and gloves, or even household plastic wrap – can reduce the risk of transmitting an infection during oral sex.

If you use sex toys such as vibrators or dildos, be sure to clean them well or use fresh condoms on them (in between uses) if you are sharing them with your partner. No matter what gender your partner is, you can make sex safer with a little planning and protection.

DWsports Defense shines in Spring Game Softball returns empty from Wash.

Arizona linebacker Derek Earls (40) brings down senior receiver Travis Cobb (6) during the Spring Game at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. While the offense is expected to explode next season, it was the defense that turned heads.

Offense sputters as defense, special teams steal the show

By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat Heading into the 2010 season, the offense was expected to be the headliner of the Arizona football team. But while the offense had some strong moments in Saturday’s annual Spring Game, it was the defense that stole the show.

“It was a productive day,” head coach Mike Stoops said.“Defensively, I thought we made some big plays. (The defense) hadn’t made a bunch this spring, but obviously getting two touchdowns defensively was good to see.”

The defense played much more loosely and aggressively than it had throughout the spring, and the two interceptions returned for touchdowns were the ultimate sign of that.

The highlight of the game came when free safety Joe Perkins collected a tipped pass in the end zone, returned it out to the 25-yard line, and then pitched it to cornerback Trevin Wade, who sprinted the remaining 75 yards for the score.

“I thought our first (string) secondary, in particular, played pretty well,” Stoops said. “I thought the corners played well, and that gives you a chance in the secondary to do some things.”

The defensive backs weren’t the only defenders who were ready to play.

Defensive end Ricky Elmore dominated the installation of a new offense but said the line of scrimmage throughout, he was pleased with the effort. including two sacks on the first three “Overall, throughout the spring, I think plays of the game. our guys worked extremely hard,”Littrell “We did really good,” Elmore said of said. “We did a lot of different stuff ofthe defense. “Being a senior on this de- fensively, a lot of new stuff that they had fense, I just tried to to learn.

DID YOU SEE THAT? The play of the day belonged to the guy who was perhaps the most improved player in the spring, H-back Taimi Tutogi.

Tutogi, whose notoriously bruising running style got him some playing time as a freshman last year, rushed for 20 yards on five carries, but it was what he did in the passing game that drew the loudest ovation from the fans.

Tutogi ran down the field on a seam route and fully extended to make a onehanded catch, then bounced through and tossed would-be tacklers en route to a 73-yard catch.

The play was just a glimpse into the expanded role that coaches expect Tutogi to fill this season.

“Taimi is tough,” Littrell said. “I think Taimi’s gotten a lot of confidence this spring that he’s really needed. With confidence, now you can just go out and play loose. I think he’s done a good job this spring of really fine tuning his game.

“He’s a guy that we can use at the running back position,” Littrell added. “That’s always something that we thought we could do.”

The word “swept” entered the vocabulary of Arizona softball for the first time all season when the Wildcats lost all three games on the weekend to No. 1 Washington.

In fact, the No. 2 Wildcats (32-7,2-4 Pacific 10 Conference) haven’t been swept since the 2008 season when they fell at the hands of the eventual national champions ASU. “It doesn’t feel good,” said UA head coach Mike Candrea. “We’re disappointed, but on the other hand, in this game you have to have a short-term memory. You learn from it and move forward.”

Arizona fell three times this weekend at the hands of Danielle Lawrie and the nation’s best.

“I tip my hat off to her. It took us two-and-a-half games to start moving a ball on her,” Candrea said. “We just got outplayed.”

Lawrie’s (23-1) performance in the circle was flat-out dominating. The British Columbia native held the Wildcats to just 16 hits and posted double digit strikeout numbers in every game — 14, 12 and 13, respectively.

While the nation’s top-two teams would battle through the weekend, only the first game proved to be close. In Game 1 on Friday night, an unearned run proved to be the difference as Arizona fell 2-1. The Huskies (33-3, 5-1) would handle the Wildcats the rest of the weekend as Arizona lost 7-0 in Game 2 and 9-3 in Game 3.

The Wildcats were finally able to figure out Lawrie in Game 3 of the series, but were still unable to put more than three runs on the scoreboard in the game. Left fielder Brittany Lastrapes had two hits off of Lawrie in Game 3, but the Wildcats missed an opportunity late in the game to cut the deficit.

On the other side of the circle, Arizona’s freshman Kenzie Fowler was unable to match her counterpart’s performance. She fanned 13 Huskies, but was lit up for nine hits and four extra base hits in the third game of SOFTBALL, page 12

Simon goes the distance; ’Cats win series out once he settles in because of the massive movement on his ball.

“When you’re throwing a pitch that moves like a foot, you can throw it in kind of a lot of different places and these guys will think it’s a fastball down the pipe, and then they swing and hit the bottom of the bat for a ground ball or swing through it for a strikeout,”Simon said.

Although Simon ended the series in a big way, it was Heyer (5-0, 2.16) and the Arizona bats that set the tone on Friday.

Heyer got the job done once again, as he went 6 2/3 innings, allowing only two runs off of four hits.

Outfielders Steve Selsky and Robert Refsnyder went deep in Game 1, allowing Heyer and company to coast to a 7-2 win.

“I thought Friday night we played well with Kurt Heyer,” Lopez said. “We swung the bats, got some timely hits and played good defense.”

That success didn’t carry into Saturday night, as the Wildcats and sophomore starter Bryce Bandilla were trampled by the Huskies, 10-2. Bandilla allowed five earned runs through 4 1/3 innings, and the Arizona bats couldn’t mount a comeback.

But the bats woke up for the Wildcats on Sunday, as both Selsky and Refnsyder went yard again, and Simon did his thing from start to finish.

The Game 2 hiccup wasn’t ideal, and

Simon admitted the Wildcats “should have swept them easily,” but winning two out of three games in a conference like the Pac-10 can’t be considered anything but a success.

“If you win two out of three in the Pac-10, you’ve had a good weekend,”Lopez said.“I’m real happy with the way things went this weekend.”

Men’s tennis takes historic game over UCLA

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat The No. 35 Arizona men’s tennis team is back on its feet after a successful weekend at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center.

The Wildcats defeated the No. 10 UCLA Bruins for the first time in school history on Sunday, after being shut out by the No. 3 defending national champions USC on Friday.

Arizona, (13-9, 2-4 Pacific 10 Conference) which before yesterday’s contest had a 0-74 record in school history against the Bruins, rallied to a 4-3 win to fend off UCLA (13-6, 3-2), even after their 7-0 loss against USC (19-2, 5-0) two days prior.

“The guys made history today, and I couldn’t be more proud of them,” head coach Tad Berkowitz said. “They did what they able to do to win, they stepped up when they needed to and they played the big points.”

On Friday at USC, however, things didn’t look so cheery.

On both the doubles and singles courts, Arizona’s hard-fought efforts were overshadowed by an elite Trojan team, but Berkowitz and company didn’t hang their heads.

“USC played very, very well, but (Sunday) was a whole new day and anything could happen.” Berkowitz told his team after the loss.

“If you have a couple tough losses,

keep lacing up your shoes and put yourself in that position (to win),” he added. “You just need to have the confidence in your abilities to get it done.”

And they got it done.

Junior Jay Goldman, the Wildcats’ No. 1 player, was matched up against the Bruins’ No. 52-ranked Matt Brooklyn, and despite losing the first set, Goldman rallied to beat Brooklyn, 1-6, 6-2, 6-3.

In other singles action, Arizona anchors Borja Malo and Ravid Hazi both captured wins in their matches.

“They’re a group of guys that have a lot of confidence in each other and themselves,” Berkowitz said. “We’ve always talked about that all year, if all of our guys can come together on the same day, then we can do some great things.”

With Goldman and Andres Arango’s victory on the doubles court, the Wildcats were finally able to enjoy a long awaited victory, edging the Bruins 4-3.

“Today was a perfect day to see what we can do against a top-10 team ” Berkowitz said. “We just needed to get out there and play free and see what happened at the end of the match.”

Women succumb to the sting of Southern California

After solid wins in Los Angeles

last weekend against California State Univeristy, Northridge, and Loyola Marymount, the return to Southern California wasn’t quite as welcoming for the No. 56 Arizona women’s tennis team, who faced a pair of shut out losses against the No. 17 USC Trojans and the No. 8 UCLA Bruins this weekend.

Although they made valiant efforts, the Wildcats (12-8, 1-6 Pacific 10 Conference) failed to get a second conference win against the dominant Bruins (18-3, 5-1) and Trojans (13-7, 5-1) who came out with a strong will to win.

“It was a rough weekend for us,” said UA head coach Vicky Maes. “We couldn’t really get anything going our way. The girls battled hard and had game points in almost every single game, yet couldn’t convert them.

Against top teams like that, you get punished. They don’t give you second chances.”

On Friday against the Bruins, the Wildcats failed to get anything going on the doubles court, losing all three matches, 8-0, 8-1, and 8-3.

Things didn’t look any better for Arizona in singles action either as both No. 105 Natasha Marks and No. 84 Sarah Landsman fell to No. 5 Yasmin Schnack and No. 31 Andrea Remynse, respectively.

“They took it to us in the doubles and never looked back,” Maes said.

Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona junior Jay Goldman rips a forehand during the Wildcats’ 4-3 upset victory over No. 10 UCLA. The win was Arizona’s first over the Bruins in school history.

“We battled hard but they just played too tough.”

The next day at USC, the Wildcats again failed to earn the doubles point, but the duo of Marks and Debora Castany secured a tiebreaker win in their match that will hopefully pave a little confidence going into their last

weekend of the regular season.

“We need to focus on our upcoming weekend, which will be challenging but doable,” Maes said. “I believe we have a strong chance against Sacramento State, and hope to gain momentum in that match to take on ASU as our final match on Saturday.”

Gymcats fall in regionals

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona gymnastics team put up a valiant effort in Los Angeles Saturday night, but it was not enough to propel them into the next round of the NCAA Regionals.

The Gymcats needed to secure one of the top two places as a team to move on to the next round of competition, but they placed third, falling to UCLA and Arkansas.

“It wasn’t our night; we didn’t compete as well as we would have liked,”said head coach Bill Ryden.“But, like always, our girls put up a fight and never gave up.”

The coaching staff has been satisfied with the team’s ability to fight back all year. Even with slow starts, the Gymcats have been able to claw their way back into contention.

“Our team did very well; they held their own,”said assistant coach Colleen Johnson.“They didn’t give up, they fought ‘til they end. In all honesty, they competed like they practiced.”

The Gymcats went into the meet knowing the scoring would be tight. Unlike the regular season that has two judges for each event, post-season meets have four judges.

Going into Saturday’s competition, the Gymcats were ranked 21st in the nation and were ranked behind three of their opponents. They were able to leap past the then-ranked 17th Iowa State and attain third place in the meet.

“Overall, I thought it went pretty good,” said assistant coach John Court.“They used the momentum from the meets in early March to have a good postseason meet. This is the best post-season meet we have had in two years.”

After the meet, Ryden describes the team’s state of mind: “We all had an empty feeling inside. I just thanked them for everything they did and put up with this season.”

Ryden is referring to the rocky start the team had involving multiple injuries and an inexperienced team.

“I think that if people look at the problems we had initially, I don’t think that people would have thought that we would have got as far as we did,”Ryden said.

“We outperformed many completely healthy programs. We were 75 percent underclassmen this year.

“We had two freshmen and a sophomore that made first-team all-conference. Like I said before, the future looks bright. We are working hard to add depth to the team and come back stronger.”

The Gymcats will lose senior Sarah Tomczyk, but the rest of the team will return next year, adding four incoming freshman. Tomczyk’s departure will be a big loss for the Gymcats, but the team had several underclassmen carrying huge responsibilities for the team.

“Even with all our troubles, we are still one of the top 20 gymnastics programs in the nation, and we will only get better than that,”Ryden said.

Tiger Woods blasts out of the pine straw on No. 11 during the final round of The Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Sunday.

while he was chasing skirts in every town; what is he going to do now that he’s focused on golf? He is going to start winning tournaments again, and a lot of them are not going to be close.

Tiger’s mental game has always been one of his top assets after losing his father, Earl Woods, to cancer in 2006. Tiger responded with a second-place tournament finish only three weeks later. He has an unparalleled ability to block out everything around him, evident at the circus that was this year’s Masters.

Physically, he might be in better golf-shape now than he has ever been. What do people think he’s been doing every day since he got out of sex rehab? He’s been playing golf, and a lot of it.

Time away from competitive play often affords atheltes an opportunity to

break down their games and find weaknesses and areas on which to improve, as well as fine-tune aspects of their game that were already frighteningly precise.

In other words, the best golfer on the planet just got better.

The first round of The Masters, shown by ESPN, saw ratings jump 47 percent from last year’s tournament .

Something tells me people weren’t tuning in to see K.J. Choi or Lee Westwood — two of the most consistent players on the PGA Tour.

They were watching the most dominant, awe-inspiring force in golf — Tiger Woods.

Tiger brings ratings, drama, money and, most importantly, he brings wins.

— Alex Williams is a pre-journalism sophomore.

He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Woods takes no joy from fourth-place finish at Masters THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUGUSTA, Ga. — By most standards, Tiger Woods’ comeback would be deemed a success.

He contended for a fifth Masters title when some wondered if he’d even make the cut. He took a step toward winning back fans who were appalled by the serial cheating on his wife.

Woods didn’t look at it that way.

He came back to the Masters to win, not just contend.To him, there was no joy and no relief in tying for fourth in his first tournament in five months, only disappointment and frustration.

“That’s not what I wanted,” Woods said Sunday after finishing five strokes behind Phil Mickelson.

“I wanted to win this tournament.

As the week wore on, I kept hitting the ball worse.”

He had vowed to tone down his emotions, try to smile a little more,

acknowledge the fans every now and then. But that even temperament quickly faded as the poor shots piled up. He yelled at himself several times, loud enough for the gallery to hear and the television microphones to pick up. He flipped clubs away in anger.

Afterward, Woods got a bit testy when asked if the new Tiger was still a work in progress.

“I think people are making way too much of a big deal about this thing,” he said. “I’m not going to be walking there with a lot of pep in my step because I hadn’t hit a good shot yet.”

Woods did hit some good shots, of course. The best Sunday was an 8-iron that he holed out from the fairway at No. 7 for an eagle. He followed with back-to-back birdies and made the turn just three strokes out of the lead, looking as though he was ready to make a charge.

But Woods has never come

from behind on the final day to win a major, and this one wasn’t any different.

Another errant tee shot at the 11th led to a bogey. Then, an inexplicable three-putt from six feet ended his hopes at the 14th.

He did bounce back to make an eagle on the par-5 15th, but Mickelson was pulling away at that point. A short birdie putt at the final hole only assured that Woods tied K.J. Choi for fourth place.

“I had another terrible warmup,” Woods said.“I didn’t have it. And it was pretty evident.”

Yes it was, right from the start.

He yanked his opening drive into the adjacent ninth fairway and wound up with a bogey. Two more bogeys followed in the next five holes, and he was on the verge of falling off the leaderboard.

Even though he turned things around before heading to the back side, Woods never felt he was a serious contender.

IN BRIEF

The Arizona track and field team stood against more than 20 colleges at Drake Stadium in Westwood, Calif., this weekend and showed that it can compete with the best. This was the biggest meet of Arizona’s season, and the Wildcats continued to make impressive marks against some of the nation’s top competition.

In the women’s 4x400-meter relay, there were two teams with professional runners present, and Arizona was able to place second to a team that featured Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix as its anchor.

“They didn’t beat us by a lot; we actually did pretty good,” said redshirt sophomore Echos Blevins, who ran the relay as well as the 200m and 400m. “We didn’t run as fast as we did last weekend, but overall we did pretty good.”

The women continued to impress throughout the weekend. Redshirt freshman Georganne Moline added another milestone to her career when she came in first in the women’s 400m hurdles with a time of 59.09.

She now has the sixth fastest time in UA history and has yet to lose a race in her event.

Freshmen Julie Labonte and Alyssa Hasslen took first and second in the women’s shot put, throwing 53 feet, 3 inches and 51 feet, 1/4 inch, respectively.

Two women high jumpers also swept their event, as freshman Brigetta Barrett finished first and senior Jasmin Day came in second.

While the rest of the team was in California, three women went to Tempe to compete in the ASU Sun Angel classic. Sophomores Ariel Coleman, Jordan Ronstadt and redshirt sophomore Rebecca Nelson competed in the 400m hurdles.

Coleman came in 23rd with a time of 1:04.63, Ronstadt finished 29th with a time of 1:08.49 and Nelson placed 20th with a time of 1:03.49.

The men once again showcased their strength during the weekend.

Korion Morris won the men’s shot put invite with a throw of 55 feet, 4 1/4 inches, making this his second consecutive win this season.

Redshirt freshman Nico Reaves bounced back after last week and ran a time of 47.99 in the men’s open 400m. This earned him first place and was one of his best times of the year.

Freshman Jake Harris ran at the Sun Angel Classic and came in 28th place in the men’s 110m hurdles with a time of 15.35.

— Galo Mejia

’Cats seventh at ASU The Arizona women’s golf team finished in seventh place at the ASU/Ping Invitational, at ASU’s Karsten Golf Course this weekend.

The Wildcats struggled to find consistent play and Margarita Ramos, who tied for 11th at 2-under-par, was the only golfer to finish the tournament below par.

UA’s leading scorer of the season, Isabelle Boineau, finished the weekend at 3-over-par, shooting consecutive rounds at even-par on Saturday and Sunday. Sherlyn Popelka, the freshman sensation from Zurich, Switzerland, finished the week at 8-over-par.

UCLA won the tournament as the Bruins overcame a 12-stroke deficit heading into Sunday. UCLA shot a combined 9-under-par in the final round, while ASU — the leader after two rounds — shot a combined 4-over-par to finish in second.

USC, New Mexico and Purdue rounded out the rest of the top five.

Oklahoma State, last year’s champion, finished in ninth at 11-over-par.

This was Arizona’s last tune-up before the Pacific 10 Conference Championships, April 19-21 in Eugene, Ore. — Alex Williams

UW’s Lawrie shows Huskies as nation’s best

continued from page 8

the series. Twice Fowler was chased from the circle.

“It’s a good experience,” Candrea said of Fowler’s struggles against the Washington hitters. “You’ve got to do it sometime. She did a good job the first day and then the last two times out, (we) made some mistakes that ended up costing us.

It was a combination of them playing the game and executing the game and us really not doing much offensively.”

Arizona, the nation’s top offense, was able to muster just four runs in three games against Lawire, who pitched every game for the Huskies.

“I think on this weekend, the better team won. (Washington is) definitely the number one team in the country,” Candrea said.

“Hopefully we’ll get another shot on them down the road.”

With Pac-10 play being reorganized this year so that every team either hosts or plays at an opponent in a single series, the Wildcats won’t run into Washington unless it’s in the postseason.

“It’s a part of playing in the Pac-10. I’ve always said it’s a very strong conference,” Candrea said.

“Especially when you’re on the road and you’re playing a three-game series, it’s a little different.”

Former UA forward Sean Elliott (1985-1989) and former Arizona head coach Lute Olson (1983-2008) highlighted the 2010 class that also included horse trainer Bob Baffert and women’s softball coach and player Billie Harris.

Hoops’ Williams rounds up another accolade

Freshman Derrick Williams was named to the Rivals.com 2010 Freshman All-American first team on Friday. Kentucky’s John Wall and Demarcus Cousins, Georgia Tech’s Derrick Favors and Kansas’ Xavier Henry round out the list.

Williams led the Pacific 10 Conference freshmen in scoring and rebounding.

’Cats reunited

The Phoenix Suns’ matchup with the Houston Rockets featured three former Wildcats — Phoenix’s Channing Frye and Houston’s Jordan Hill and Chase Budinger. Frye was drafted in 2005, while both Hill and Budinger left Arizona in 2009. The Suns won the game 116-106. Frye scored 8 points in the victory, while Hill finished with 2 and Budinger bucketed 19, shooting 3-for-3 behind the 3-point line.
