Legislature triggers new bill
Arizona House approves measure allowing concealed carry of weapons on college campuses By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona House of Representatives approved a bill allowing guns on college and university campuses on Thursday. The measure, which was approved 33 to 24, would allow firearms to be carried in the open or concealed in public rights of way, such as campus sidewalks, but not into classrooms. The bill will
now go to Gov. Jan Brewer, who will decide if the measure should be signed into law. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona, the Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Faculty Senate all passed resolutions opposing proposed gun legislation in Arizona. Sgt. Juan Alvarez, the public information officer at the University of Arizona Police Department,
said UAPD is waiting to see if the bill is signed into law before deciding on what safety measures and trainings to provide to the UA community. “We will see what’s required (of the law) and make adjustments to come,” he said. ASUA President Emily Fritze said that students and faculty who are concerned and uncomfortable about the bill need to “put pressure” on the governor to veto it,
although Fritze is “not sure how likely that is.” Fritze explained that the majority of students and faculty she has spoken with about the gun bills did not support them, especially the faculty. She also said that, if the bill is signed into law, she is sure that the UA will educate students on “what (the bill) means.” Fritze said she has heard talk of possible

Health expert calls for care quality
Study shows long job hours can lead to cardiovascular strain By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Working long hours may be associated with an increased risk of having a heart attack, a new study shows. The study, which was published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on April 5, has added long working hours to the list of traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease. The purpose of the study was to determine whether long working hours contribute to risk assessment of cardiovascular disease, the abstract of the study showed. “I’m not sure that there’s any data that says working long hours is bad for your health,” said Dr. Gordon A. Ewy, the director of the Sarver Heart Center. “If so, I’d be dead.” The Framingham Heart Study, which was a research project conducted in 1948, was meant to identify the common risk factors of heart disease, Ewy said. The findings of that study are the most important things to look out for, he said. Controlling high blood pressure, controlling cholesterol and not smoking are ways to avoid heart disease, Ewy said. “Those three things have really made the big difference,” he said. Aisha Abedi, a public health and pre-physiology sophomore, said she goes to the gym six days a week and it is a good way to work off her stress. Classes are stressful and other students can add to that stress, she said. “Someone next to you is always doing more than you,” Abedi said.
“I am a gun owner myself, but that’s not how you introduce a weapon into a system which for years didn’t have them.”

Carolyn Clancy has an ambitious goal: she wants to improve health-care quality and reduce disparities in care associated with race, ethnicity, gender and education. Speaking at Drachman Hall yesterday, Clancy, director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, spoke on what the 20-year-old government funded agency’s goals and programs are to improve the overall state of health care in the United States. Among the topics, Clancy said that health-care quality and patient safety are a major research interest. She stated a large part of this would be to have systems that are more responsive to patients, with doctors looking retroactively at past trends to improve health care for the future. “We mean well, but our systems are really all about us … and we can do a whole lot better,” Clancy said. Clancy also dove into the topic of disparity in care for minorities, which she said comes at a personal and societal price. She said the agency’s goal is to care about all individual patients, but went on to add that data suggests health care is not equal for Native American or Latino

Abedi said she has a friend who works two jobs and is stressed out when it comes to finding time to study. Students are definitely overworked so it is good for them to be active in other things and be social, she said. Ewy said in the 1970s, 40 percent of people died of cardiovascular disease, and in 1980, 38 percent. By 2000, the number
was still as high as 34 percent. Dieting can also be important for heart health, but not for everyone, Ewy said. “The reason diet doesn’t work for everyone is because the average cholesterol in the diet is 300 milligrams and the liver puts out 900 milligrams in the bile,” he said. “If you decrease your cholesterol intake way down, you can only lower your choles-
terol by about 10 percent.” If someone’s cholesterol is mildly elevated, diet can help, he said. Exercise is also good for the health and those who exercise more seem to live longer, Ewy said. However, exercise has also been associated with sudden death in a number of people. “That’s why they say ‘Well, HEART, page 2

Safe Ride breaks passenger record and eased up on usual Safe Ride rules. Safe Ride eliminated the maximum number of three people per call. There was also no limit on the number of destinations each of the 13 vehicles used were allowed to serve. In addition, Safe Ride did not cut off the boundaries 20 minutes before the shift is over, allowing people to go to more destinations late at night. Safe Ride staff didn’t find out about the results until around 1:30 a.m., when they all went back to the office, Wozny said, noting that people back at the office tried to trick those coming back saying they would be disappointed. “I was quite ecstatic. I gave quite a shout when I saw that we broke the record,” he said.

Safe Ride sprung to a new record of 1,019 passengers last Thursday, the first day of Spring Fling. Traditionally, Spring Fling Thursday is the biggest night of the year for Safe Ride, according to Chris Wozny, Safe Ride administrative director. Around 840 people used Safe Ride in 2008 during the first day of Spring Fling and last year 935 utilized the service on the same date, he said. “We didn’t just want to break the record this year, we wanted to get into the quadruple digits,” Wozny said. To meet the goal, Safe Ride generated hype through social media

While Ewy hasn’t examined the data from the Annals of Internal Medicine cohort study, he said “The question is, ‘Did they control these people for all of the other risk factors?’” For example, for those who worked the longest, determining their heart attack risk also depends
on how much they smoked, ate and exercised, he said. “If you’re working long hours, you better really pay attention to all of your other risk

And if you’ve got a family history of cardiovascular disease, you’ve inherited those genes.” He said people should pay attention to the classic risk factors of heart disease. Decreasing stress, exercising, not smoking and controlling cholesterol intake are important. It’s hard to say whether someone working 11 hours a day is under more stress than other people, Ewy said.

Clancy, who stated that the agency received $300 million as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, or federal stimulus act, said there has been a long-term commitment to bridging the gap between research and practice, and that there has been a conscious effort to include all populations in equal medical care.

She said Arizona is “squarely in the average range” but also added that even the top-tier states have areas that could use improvement. Clancy said that Arizona and other states can work on three

GPSC President Emily Connally said that if the bill is signed into law it would be a “terribly costly decision,” and that it “completely defeats the logic” behind the original bill because the one approved would allow anyone over the age of 18 to carry a gun through campus, but not into classrooms. She explained that the UA couldn’t afford to install storage lockers for guns and maintain metal detectors, which would have to be installed at every door to ensure that individuals are abiding by the law. Connally also said that approving the bill was “incredibly shortsided” of the legislators because they went directly against the majority of students and gun owners, who were polled as opposing the measure. “I am a gun owner myself,” Connally said, “but that’s not how you introduce a weapon into a system which for years didn’t have them.”

He said he doesn’t think students are overworked and they are able to find a balance between work, school and exercise, he said. A heart attack is a blockage of the coronary arteries from atherosclerosis. It takes decades for it to develop, so age is a big factor. Most college students have normal coronary arteries, work a lot and hardly get any sleep, Ewy said. “It may be difficult on their psyche but it’s not going to cause a heart attack,” he said.

Tim Pawlenty joins 2012 race McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — Nick Ayers, one of the most sought-after operatives in the Republican Party, has signed on to run former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty’s presidential exploratory committee and likely presidential campaign, a sign the slow-moving GOP race is picking up steam. Pawlenty got to know Ayers through the Republican Governors Association, where the latter served as executive director for four years, overseeing a team that raised a record $117 million in the last election cycle. “He is without question one of the best political talents in America,” Pawlenty said in a statement. “We are very excited Nick will lead our team. His leadership and record of winning tough races in every part of our country will provide even more momentum to our campaign to get America back on track.” The move surprised some in
the GOP who expected Ayers to stay at the Republican National Committee, where he recently assisted the transition of newly arrived Chairman Reince Priebus.
He also worked closely at the RGA with Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, another likely presidential candidate who was the group’s chairman until recently.

Quake aftershocks rock Japan McClatchy Tribune
TOYKO — Three powerful aftershocks struck already jittery northeastern Japan within the span of 10 minutes on Monday, as the government announced new plans to expand the evacuation area near a stricken nuclear plant due to high radiation levels. Japan is trying to rebuild after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake on March 11 triggered a tsunami that killed thousands and left countless others homeless. The tsunami has also caused several fires and explosions at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which has leaked dangerous isotopes into the air, soil and water. The first of Monday’s tremors, which trapped some victims in collapsed homes and vehicles, hit at 5:16 p.m. near the coast in Fukushima prefecture, registering a magnitude 7.1 at a depth of 6 miles underground, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. It was sizable enough to rock

buildings in Tokyo, about 150 miles to the south. A magnitude 6.0 quake hit a minute later in the same area, followed by another — a magnitude 5.6 temblor — nine minutes after that. Aftershocks continued hours later, the agency said. In neighboring Ibaraki prefecture, one man died after falling and hitting his head during the shaking, according to the local Ryugasaki fire department. The quakes also triggered a landslide that buried three homes in Iwaki city. A 16-year-old girl died in the landslide, and three other men pulled from the rubble were unconscious and taken to a hospital, according to public broadcaster NHK. Officials issued a tsunami warning after the quakes but later lifted it. The quakes temporarily knocked out the power to the Fukushima nuclear power plant and led to a 50-minute stoppage in the waterspraying operations to cool four of
the plant’s six reactors. Highways were closed, bullet train services to the region were halted briefly, and as many 220,000 homes in Fukushima prefecture were without power. On Monday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said the government would expand a 12mile evacuation area near the nuclear plant, adding to the thousands who have already been told to leave their homes. Unlike the government’s previous evacuation orders, the new one is based on data that show higher than normal radiation levels extending to towns and villages that are beyond even the government’s recommendation to stay indoors for residents living 12 to 18 miles away. It was unclear how many residents would be affected by the new order, which the government plans to carry out over the next month. Edano noted that the risk of a massive radiation leak from the Fukushima plant was “considerably lower.”

EDITORIAL Campus gun law aims for safety, misses target
O
ur motto is “bear down,” not “shoot to kill.” Last week, the Arizona Legislature passed a bill that would allow university students and staff to carry open or concealed weapons on campus. Carrying would be limited to “public rights of way,” such as campus streets or roadways and not inside buildings, though the bill does not specifically define what a public right of way is. So students and teachers carrying guns would have to store them outside a building before entering, perhaps using a “gun valet?” It’s a good thing school shootings have never happened inside a building, like in a classroom or something. “We’re allowing people to defend themselves,” said state Rep. David Gowan in a Reuters article. “The purpose of carrying a gun with you is to defend yourself against that aggressor.” The constitutional right to bear arms was written because, during the Revolutionary War, Americans had to use them to defend their homes and families. If the British attack the UA in a full frontal assault then yes, people should arm themselves. Otherwise, the “aggressor” that Gowan is waving around to build support is a puppet for inspiring paranoia. The hypothetical situations that gun enthusiasts rave about would be better left to professional law enforcement, not overeager vigilantes. All three of Arizona’s university presidents have spoken out against guns on campus. The bill has been met with far-reaching opposition from students, faculty, staff and police officers. One lawmaker described the bill as necessary because there isn’t a “bubble” that magically protects campuses. By that logic, let’s start arming priests and rabbis. Give doctors guns in the operating room. Every librarian should be packing heat. Why stop at college campuses? Every middle school teacher should get a rifle and a pack of smokes. After all, you never know when terror will strike. You can’t imagine the man singing hymns with a gun on in church? That’s probably because it would be as inappropriate as a gun on campus. How dare legislators pass a law because they believe it best, without listening to the people who are most affected by it? University police officers, the ones who will have to respond to this shooting that lawmakers insist could happen at any moment, don’t want guns on campus. The defenseless professor isn’t clamoring to stock up on ammunition. And the students, those innocent and helpless targets, don’t want guns. When someone walks down the UA Mall with a gun on his or her hip, our hearts will beat faster, adrenaline will pump and the thought won’t be “Thank Brewer, I’m safe.” It’ll be “Holy son of a bill, is that guy going to shoot someone?” Because what’s to stop him from walking up to a line of people outside of the Student Union Memorial Center and shooting them systematically with a gun? Thank goodness for the second someone who may have a gun to shoot them with. But then, maybe someone shoots the second shooter. In the chaos, how would they know who opened fire first? Furthermore, scenarios like this assume all people with a permit to carry a weapon are such good shots that their guns will never hit passersby on a campus of more than 39,000 students. When will you learn that fire does not quench fire? What’s next? Guns in dorm rooms? Bad things happen in dorms, so residents should be able to defend themselves, right? If it isn’t enough to argue that college students shouldn’t be afraid of guns, let’s keep in mind that college students are still really just kids learning how to be grown-ups away from Mom and Dad. Everyone does something dumb in college, and it’s probably fueled by alcohol. A lack of parental supervision, combined with a newfound ability to drink until they throw up two days’ worth of dinner doesn’t need the added element of a firearm. Lawmakers and supporters of weapons on campus seem to envision potential campus shootings as a romanticized, Western movie. The bad guy will ride into town, there will be a glorious shootout, the hero wins and everyone gets a beer at the saloon. That isn’t real life. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat editorial board and written by one of its members. They are Kristina Bui, Ken Contrata, Michelle A.

Donald Trump: nutty genius Andrew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat
D
onald Trump is a brilliant man. Anybody who doubts that only needs to watch one of the several interviews he has given over the past week. However, he is only brilliant at maneuvering public opinion and communicating an effective message, not at putting forth the policies this country needs. For the past few weeks, Trump has become obsessed with one issue: the birther issue. Yes, one of the nation’s foremost business executives has not been talking about the economic crisis or the recent budget fiasco, but has instead stuck to focusing on whether or not President Barack Obama was born in Kenya or not. In every interview, he brings this meaningless issue back to the forefront, demanding to see the president’s birth certificate. While to you and me, this seems like a terrible waste of time (the president has a certificate of live birth and the hospital published news of his birth in a Hawaii newspaper), it seems to resonate with a certain noisy fringe element of the Republican Party. In fact, according to a recent poll, he is now
in second place among possible Republican candidates and there’s no question that playing to the birther conspiracy theorists had something to do with it. To independent voters (the voters that the Republican nominee will ultimately have to pander to), this issue is just a distraction, but according to a poll released by Public Policy Polling in February, 51 percent of Republicans believe Obama wasn’t born in this country. While the birther debate is annoying to most Americans, Trump will need the support of the Republican base if he wants to win the nomination, and this seems like the perfect issue to push their buttons. Thankfully, Trump has chosen to speak about other issues, aside from the president’s birthplace, but has continued with the same pandering to the far right. One of his favorite talking points is how the United States is being screwed by China. With a massive trade deficit and artificially deflated Chinese currency allowing for cheap exports, he has a point. But Trump’s solution is to vilify China. On more than one occasion he has referred to the Chinese as our enemies.
While this might sit well with people who know nothing about foreign policy, taking such a hardline approach can only be counterproductive. Does he honestly think he can convince the Chinese to relax their strict restrictions on business or inflate their currency just by sitting down and talking tough? Does he want to start a trade war? There is a lot of work that needs to be done between the United States and China, but such rhetoric will only make things worse. He should keep in mind that international relations is not exactly the same as fighting over zoning laws for a new high-rise hotel or casino. Of course, it’s still unclear as to whether or not Trump will actually run for president. We won’t know until June and there’s still a very good chance this is nothing more than a publicity stunt. Nonetheless, he has been playing his cards beautifully and his message seems to be resonating with a significant portion of the Republican base. Personally, I still think he has little chance of winning the nomination (my money’s on Mitt Romney), but who knows what’s up his sleeve. He’s clearly gifted at garnering muchneeded media attention, so it’s impossible to say what the future holds. — Andrew Shepherd is a political science senior.

What happened to Chatroulette? Johnny McKay

ociety is plugged in. We’ve merged with the ubiquitous Internet, zooming toward that speculated singularity with unbridled passion and determination. It’s everywhere, Google, Twitter and Celebnudes.com at your very fingertips. It goes without saying that mankind will continue becoming more and more in tune with this vast web of information and clips of cats, until it’s beamed into our skulls directly. Before this happens though, it seems like a good time to reflect on where we are now in the grand Internet timeline, and look back at trends that have come and gone. The first, and dearest to my high school heart, is, of course, AOL Instant Messenger, or AIM. If you were a 16-yearold kid when I was, and didn’t spend four or five hours on this daily, then you probably had a strangely successful afterschool social life. For the rest of us, it existed as a form of entertainment on par with Super Smash Bros. or coping with puberty. A conversation could not take place without the secret ritualistic runes typed: “Hey.” “Hey.” “What’s up?” “NM. U?” “NM.” Once the sacrament was completed, you were free to talk about what that one teacher did an hour ago in class. It was also a great way to make innocent friends instantly using the simple and foolproof identification method of A/S/L. We were all a bit more naive back then.
AIM has now been replaced with Facebook Chat, a regrettably formal and objective-based chat device. Since you can just stalk statuses and pictures to see what the person did an hour ago in that class, the chat is limited to goal-oriented diatribes, even if you have to small talk a bit to get there. Have a moment of silence for four-hour conversations. Those were better times. Right on the heels of AIM and finally gaining the ability to talk to girls is, of course, Myspace. Now a hilarious punchline whenever someone talks about Facebook, it was a glorious and unprecedented beacon in its heyday. It had such novel features as the ability to upload up to eight photographs of yourself, or change the background of your page to a color so ugly it only exists on the Internet (after parental controls have been hacked). Truly a precedent, it set the stage for socially acceptable cyber stalking, a pastime that has surpassed baseball in today’s modern America. As more and more people joined, it seemed set to become a global phenomenon and control the entire Internet. Then … Facebook happened. Now Myspace is a great place for your sub-par band to post songs, or for you to revisit and see that your wall has been posted on 721 times in the past three years by an automated bot named SxyKitty696. Last year saw the emergence of a new Internet superpower, a genius highconcept device that would bring the world
together in ways formally unthinkable. People love talking to strangers on the Internet: What if you could see those strangers, and confirm that they are, in fact, in their basement alone? Thus Chatroulette was formed, and it was good (for a while). As various people around the world reveled in this new form of interconnective media amusement, a strange thing happened. Like the first zombie sighting in an apocalypse, Larry Smith from Oregon was flipping through when he thought he saw … “No, it couldn’t be,” he muttered to himself. He quickly hit the “Next” button again, hoping to assure himself. Soon, he was confronted with another one. A few frantic clicks later and “Oh no.” It had begun. Chatroulette hadn’t foreseen male appendages and the exhibitionists wielding them. The allure of being able to show “yourself” to a global audience was too much for most males to resist. Chatroulette, unlike AIM and Myspace, has no current day replacement, just a lot of cleaner minds. As a constantly evolving medium, the Internet is only beginning to show us the twisted and life-consuming applications that it can conjure up. A few years from now Facebook will seem laughably obsolete, not even able to allow the user to “voodoo poke” friends, or to watch people embarrass themselves at parties in real-time. It will, however, be a great place to put up pictures of your sub-par band: SxyKitty696 and the Sexbots. Coming to a digital venue near you soon. — Johnny McKay is the multimedia editor for the Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

iPlant helps scientists tackle food issues By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA is leading the creation of a cyber-infrastructure to help feed the world. Among other things, iPlant Collaborative is a UA-led multicollege collective, which functions as a virtual marketplace to house information for plant biologists to solve larger global problems within their field. Scientists can tackle issues, such as food insecurity or the problem of inbred plants, using a virtual desktop they can key into with a password and server log-in. These problems can also be addressed through community input and building the cyber-infrastructure foundation. Before the virtual exchange, the spread of data was through shipping hard drives around the country, according to Stephen Goff, principal investigator and
project director of the iPlant Collaborative. Now a click of the mouse lets people find out that same information in a fraction of the time. A small project at the start, iPlant houses mostly scientists from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, computer scientists and code writers from the UA and the technology specialists at University of Texas, Austin, where the computers are housed. Shannon Oliver, a senior studying microbiology and chemistry, started working at the BIO5 Institute, where iPlant is housed on campus, during her freshman year of college. Daphne Gilman, her former boss and director of strategic alliances at BIO5, said Oliver has been flourishing while helping to write code for the new system. Oliver has worked at six different labs during her undergraduate studies, but her one
semester with iPlant has prepared her more than most other experiences for life outside of the university, she said. “Working at iPlant, even just one semester, has definitely prepared me for life outside of undergrad,” Oliver said. “It really stretched my ability to learn, and yet I had to learn fairly intricate computer science methods and programs, and it instilled in me the confidence that I can master something that complex.” Oliver works in the discovery environment, an interface that facilitates scientific exploration and discovery through a common web interface. “There is absolutely no typical day in the office,” Oliver said. “We have to constantly collaborate and based it off of the interdisciplinary iPlant outlook. We are constantly in the environment, and we’re heading toward open source. … We want to be able for
the community to contribute and with that we can drive innovation with a consistent integration.” Goff said iPlant is looking for a continuation for the National Science Foundation’s grant to allow further collaboration between colleges and colleagues. The group was awarded $50 million in 2008 and has the potential to renew the grant for another five years for the same amount — and is using projects like Atmosphere to do it. Atmosphere, the iPlant Collaborative’s cloud infrastructure service platform, allows applications created by computer scientists to be made accessible to biologists working on research to access programs that ease data collection and the findings of other biologists in the field. Seung-jin Kim, infrastructure services integrator for iPlant’s Atmosphere, explained that the cloud system lets scientists “not worry about how much space
they’ll have.” “They don’t have to worry about if they need more space. We worry about that,” Kim said. The UA’s role is to package each written application and make it user friendly for scientists. Each type of scientist has a different language, Goff said, and learning to speak them all and have those with different vocabularies work together is a main mission of the iPlant team, as no other forum has the capacity to link this much information globally to plant scientists. “There are so many different needs for these tools and (facilitating) integration while still allowing scientists in the technical community to be free to put everything they need in there,” Oliver said. “Science is always changing and we’re constantly documenting so everyone has a good perspective on where our projects are going.”

policebeat By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat
I am the passenger, and I ride and I ride (drunk)
A male UA student in the passenger seat of a car was charged with minor in possession on Sunday. A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol, in the area of Sixth Street and Campbell Avenue at 2:20 a.m., when he observed a car take a wide left turn and stopped the vehicle for a traffic violation. Upon approaching the driver’s side window of the car, the officer could immediately detect a smell of alcohol coming from the vehicle. He determined that both the female driver and male passenger were under 21 years of age. After testing the driver, he determined that she was not intoxicated. When the officer began interviewing the passenger, he admitted to drinking alcohol. He submitted to a portable breathalyzer test, which confirmed the presence of alcohol. The passenger admitted to drinking beer at Campus Crossings apartments. He said that his 21-year-old friend provided the alcohol, but refused to identify this friend. The officer arrested the student for minor in possession and released him to the care of his sober driver.
Man driving erratically gets DUI
A non-UA affiliated man was arrested for driving under the influence on Sunday. A UAPD officer spotted him driving erratically on Speedway Boulevard near Campbell Avenue at 2:32 a.m. He was driving his vehicle into the median lane with his blinker on, failed to turn at the intersection and proceeded down Speedway Boulevard. He then drifted into the center lane and back into the median lane near Cherry Avenue. The officer turned on his emergency lights and siren to pull the car over. At Mountain Avenue, the car turned left toward the UA campus but did not stop. As the car turned left, the officer turned on his lights and sirens again. The driver finally yielded about five feet from First Street. The officer asked for the driver’s license, registration and insurance but the driver only provided his license. On second request, the driver provided a traffic citation and an application form for Citibank. The officer asked a third time and was finally given the driver’s registration, but the driver said that he had misplaced his insurance card. The passenger in the vehicle opened his door, said that he wasn’t feeling well and began to vomit. Both the driver and passenger admitted to drinking that night. The officer conducted several DUI tests and determined that the driver was impaired. He placed the man under arrest and transported him to UAPD headquarters. He was cited for DUI and for unsafe lane changes, and was released to a taxi company after completing his paperwork.
Drunken student disappears from courtyard and reappears in dorm bathroom
83.8%
of the UA student body uses an automobile for transportation. That leaves
A resident assistant reported a student vomiting in the courtyard of Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall to UAPD on Saturday. An officer arrived and spoke with the RA, who said that the male had just left the area heading north on foot, at 3:15 a.m. The RA did not know who the student was, but said that he may be a resident of Greenlee Residence Hall. She also said that he was stumbling as he walked but didn’t seem like he needed medical attention. The officer checked the surrounding area and the UA Mall and could not find the individual. Twenty minutes later, the RA called and said that the student was now vomiting in the lobby bathroom of the residence hall. By the time the officer arrived on scene, Tucson Fire Department had also been dispatched. The officer attempted to open the bathroom door, but it was locked. He called out to the student and said that he needed to to make sure that he was OK. “I’m fine and I’m using the toilet,� the student said. At the time, the officer thought that the student was adequately communicating and did not appear to need medical attention. The student’s shoes and wallet were near the door to the bathroom. The officer was able to then determine that he was under 21 years old his drivers license. When TFD arrived, the student left the bathroom to speak with them. He couldn’t say how much he drank or where he had been that night. TFD determined that he did not need to go to the hospital, but would need someone to watch him for the night. The officer cited the student for minor in possession and released him into the charge of his roommate. A code of conduct referral was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Cosmetic surgeons ready to provide patients with elf ears, vampire face-lifts
Nose jobs and tummy tucks are yesterday’s news. The cutting edge in cosmetic surgery is “elf ears” — a makeover that will leave you looking like Mr. Spock from “Star Trek” or a hobbit. Another procedure uses blood to smooth out wrinkles. Get ready for the “vampire face-lift.” First, let’s look at those ears. Just how far would you go to look like a character from “The Lord of the Rings”? Well, some fantasy film fanatics are heading to the Tempe, Ariz., office of Steve Haworth, who holds the Guinness World Record as “most advanced

Pointy ears first beamed into America’s consciousness in the 1960s with Mr. Spock on “Star Trek.”

Why do people have different emotional reactions to alcohol?
A. general terms, alcohol use lowers your inhibitions, allowing When it comes to alcohol, context and quantity count. In
your emotions to be amplified. It’s no surprise that if you drink when you are down, you will likely feel worse. This happens because alcohol’s depressant qualities will magnify the very feelings you may be trying to avoid. On the other hand, drinking during good times will likely make you feel social and celebratory – provided you don’t overindulge. What about different types of alcohol? Does rum make you merry, tequila make you tipsy, or whisky turn things risky? The reality is that all of these drinks have the identical chemical form of alcohol, also known as ethanol. They may taste different or have varying strengths (% alcohol), but it’s all the same ethanol no matter what you are drinking. Here’s the lowdown on quantity and its effect on emotions: alcohol has not one, but two principal phases – the first of which acts like a stimulant. After the first few drinks, most people feel energetic and outgoing. Ask individuals what they like about drinking and this is what they tend to enjoy most. It’s the part that puts us at ease at parties, dispels our worries, and gives a pleasant “buzzed” feeling. However, if you keep drinking and go beyond a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of around .05, these stimulant effects fade and are replaced by alcohol’s drunk/depressant effects. In this phase, alcohol slows you down, physical impairment sets in, and yes, your emotions may get the best of you. This is also when people get sick, sow the seeds of tomorrow’s hangover, and make decisions they may later regret. Inexperienced drinkers may subscribe to the “more is better” philosophy, but this ignores alcohol’s two distinct phases. If you choose to drink, the trick is to keep your BAC at or below .05 to get the positive effects while avoiding the undesirable “drunk phase.” Curious about what a BAC of .05 looks like for you?

arizona daily wildcat • tuesday, april 12, 2011 •
Softball Power Rankings By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Now that Pacific 10 Conference play is officially underway, the losses have begun to build for some Pac-10 teams. Not a single team completed a sweep this weekend, and the road teams took three out of the four series. The Washington Huskies were the only team to defend their home field. Although only one team in the conference has more than eight losses all season, in the competitive Pac-10 the difference between first and last place could be just a matter of a few games. After the second weekend of conference softball, here’s how the teams stand.
1. Arizona (34-7, 5-1 Pac-10)
The Wildcats dropped their first Pac-10 games this weekend to the lowly beavers, but the fault wasn’t on the arm of pitcher Kenzie Fowler. Her counterpart Shelby Babcock picked up the two wins on the weekend, showing that she may be ready to help Fowler more as the conference season progresses. That’s a good sign for Arizona, who may finally be finding some consistency in the circle after the offseason’s biggest strength turned into the biggest question mark for the Wildcats going into conference play.
2. ASU (37-4, 4-2 Pac-10)
The Sun Devils started the weekend strong with two wins over Oregon, but faulted in Sunday’s contest, only mustering one hit off of the Duck’s Jessica Moore. The loss is the second for ASU in conference play. The Sun Devils have an impressive record so far this season, but it’s partially due to the easiness of their non-conference schedule. More losses may come as ASU hosts the defending national champions UCLA next weekend.
3. Washington (29-4, 4-2 Pac-10)
The Huskies were run-ruled on Friday before bouncing back to take the next two from California. The up-and-down weekend saw a shortened game on Friday, extra innings on Saturday and then another run-rule game on Sunday. Washington will have to find some more consistency if they hope to stay in the running for Pac-10 champions. They will start a three-game series with Arizona on Friday.
4. UCLA (28-7, 4-2 Pac-10)
The defending national champions dropped two games this weekend to a feisty Stanford team that was beaten badly last weekend by Arizona. The Bruins dropped both Saturday and Sunday’s contest after going 14 innings on Friday to win 6-5. Clearly there was some fatigue on UCLA’s side. The Bruins have to go on the road for their first Pac-10 series at ASU this weekend.
5. Oregon (30-8, 2-4 Pac-10)
The Ducks are surprising at the bottom half of the rankings with 30 wins, but that’s life in the competitive Pac10. Oregon was able to scratch out a 2-1 victory at ASU and should be able to win at least two games when it plays in Berkeley against a .500 California team.
6. Stanford (26-8, 2-4 Pac-10)
The Cardinal was able to get back on the right track after getting swept by Arizona last weekend. Taking two games from UCLA in Westwood, Calif. will certainly boost Stanford’s confidence and resume as it looks toward the rest of Pac-10 play. The Cardinal has a game today at San Jose State that should give them a three-game winning streak before hosting Oregon State.
7. California (24-8, 2-4 Pac-10)
The Golden Bears are struggling in Pac-10 play, having won only two games so far this conference season. Like Stanford, California also has a midweek game before hosting the Ducks. The series is part of an 11-game home stand for the Golden Bears that includes two non-conference opponents. If there was any time for Cal to turn its conference season around, this is it.
8. Oregon State (17-13, 1-5 Pac-10)
The lowly Beavers were able to sneak a win out of Arizona during the weekend, but that’s not going to be much consolation when the season is finished. Oregon State plays the nest seven games on the road, and besides a brief mid-week meeting with North Dakota, will have to play the next three conference series on the road.

SWIM continued from page 12 1996 to 1999, Hansen was an assistant coach for Arizona. Throughout his coaching role in Tucson, he coached six national champions, 11 All-Americans and numerous Pacific 10 Conference champions. With favorable past experience at Arizona and years as a head coach under his belt, Byrne is confident with his decision to name Hansen as Busch’s successor. “We’re thrilled to have Eric as our new swimming and diving head coach and we trust our program will be able to continue its dominance under his direction,” Byrne said. Hansen, a U.S. National Team head coach and former Big Ten Conference Coach of the Year, brought Wisconsin’s program onto the map. His women’s team has nationally finished in the top20 on 10 separate occasions. Amidst those top finishes, there was an 11th-place finish and the University of Wisconsin’s first individual national champion at this year’s NCAA championships in Austin, Texas. Hansen also coached a two-time All-American this year. This summer, some Arizona swimmers will get a feel for Hansen’s coaching style. As a part of the U.S. National Team program, Hansen will be the head coach for the American team at the World University Games in Shenzhen, China. Five Wildcats were chosen for the team in Shenzhen, including national champion Chitwood, and school-record holders Alyssa Anderson and Adam Small. Like the rest of the swimming world, Chitwood found out the identity of his new coach on Monday. He doesn’t personally know Hansen but certainly knows of him. “I’ve seen him around on pool deck,” Chitwood said. “I’ve never really met him personally, but I’m excited to have him here. “He was a Wildcat swimmer back in his day. I knew he coached here for a little bit, and then got the head-coaching job in Wisconsin, and he’s done some good things out there. We’re excited for all the potential he brings to our program.”

All-time great Ibekwe solidifies her Wildcat legacy after WNBA selection
COMMENTARY BY Alex Williams sports writer
If there were any questions about how Ify Ibekwe was going to be remembered after her career at Arizona, they were answered on Monday. Now a former Wildcat, the 6-foot-2-inch forward was selected 24th overall — the final pick of the second round — by the defending champion Seattle Storm in Monday’s WNBA Draft, cementing her legacy as one of Arizona’s most prolific players. Not that there was much question about how Ibekwe would be remembered after her four years in cardinal and navy. The Carson, Calif., native averaged a double double for her career with 14 points and 10 rebounds per game. That was good enough to make her Arizona’s highest ever WNBA Draft selection, and the first Arizona product to play in the WNBA since Adia Barnes . “I can’t believe that,” Ibekwe said. “I’m just so thankful.” But her play on the court isn’t the only way Ibekwe left her mark. Ibekwe’s acceptance of a leadership role was a huge reason for Arizona’s transition from perennial doormat to a dangerous opponent for most of the 2011 Pacific 10

Conference schedule. “As time went on, she got better and she understood what she needed to do,” Arizona head coach Niya Butts said. “The second half of the year is a big reason we’re talking about her today.” The second half of the year saw Ibekwe carry Arizona on
her back. It started with a 73-61 upset over rival ASU — Arizona’s first victory against the Sun Devils since January of 2005. Ibekwe scored 22 points and grabbed 22 rebounds, refusing to go winless against ASU in her career. “I had to be vocal,” Ibekwe
said. “I’ll say what needs to be said. I’ll talk to individual people on the team and say, ‘You need to step it up,’ or ‘You need to do this.’” Then Arizona won seven of its next eight games, with the only loss coming to powerhouse Stanford. Why did Arizona get so hot? The answer ’s simple: Ibekwe figured out what she was capable of. “Somewhere in there, the light bulb went off for her,” Butts said. “We always knew she was one of the most talented players in the country.” Another reason for Ibekwe’s success is the attention she pays to something many elite players scorn — defense. Named the Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year in 2011, Ibekwe is able to contribute even when she’s having an off-night in terms of scoring. “They just want me as an all-around player, which is so good,” Ibekwe said. “They don’t just want me to block shots or for defense or to score, they want me for everything. I have to go in there and compete and want it.” That’s the good news for Seattle — Ibekwe has never done anything but compete, and do it extraordinarily well. But for one day, competing on the court wasn’t anywhere near Ibekwe’s mind. “I’m so overwhelmed,” she said. “I’m excited, surprised, crying. This is amazing.” — Alex Williams is a journalism sophomore. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Byrne tabs Hansen By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When Arizona’s swimming and diving head coach Frank Busch announced his resignation in February, people were left wondering who would replace the coaching legend. Yesterday, the question was finally answered when Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne announced Eric Hansen as Arizona’s future head coach. So far, the reaction from the swimmers has been positive. “I’m excited for it,” said captain Cory Chitwood. “We’ve been waiting to find out who our coach is going to be since February. It’s nice to finally be out of that limbo stage where you don’t know what you’re going to get, you’re sort of just waiting.” Hansen, who has been the University of Wisconsin’s swimming and diving head coach for the past 12 seasons, will leave his position to take over the program Busch spent the last 22 years turning into a national powerhouse. Hansen and Busch have some history with each other. Hansen received his master’s degree in exercise physiology from Arizona in 1990, and during that time, he swam for Busch. “I’m extremely excited to return back to the Arizona program in which I earned a degree and swam for under coach Busch,” said Hansen. “I look forward to the opportunity to continue the success the program has achieved.” Along with Busch being one of his past coaches, Busch was also one of his past colleagues.

Chaffee emerging as bullpen’s best Perseverance, dedication molded Arizona closer into the dominant pitcher he is today By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A mirror sits outside of Arizona closer Matt Chaffee’s bathroom. Several times a day, the left-hander will stand in front of it and practice his dry work. He’ll keep his balance in check, making sure that his front side stays close, and that he delivers the pitch out in front of the ball. It’s been a semester-long routine, and head coach Andy Lopez has one word to describe it: Discipline. “I say this all the time, I read it somewhere so I wish I could give credit where credit is due,” Lopez said. “But a man with no discipline has problems, a man with some discipline has some problems, a man with discipline, he’s got no problems, but he’s got a lot of challenges.” Chaffee has certainly overcome his challenges, and the dedication he displays to the team on a day-to-day basis is an example of the player and the person that Chaffee has evolved into during his topsy-turvy career as an Arizona pitcher. As a freshman in 2008, Chaffee came to the UA fresh off of two Arizona Division I high school state championship appearances, winning it his junior year at Brophy College Preparatory in Phoenix. His first go-around with the Wildcats was marked by 14 lackluster appearances that would be expected out of the raw skill of a freshman. Chaffee kept working and entered his sophomore season as a crucial part of the Arizona bullpen, earning three quick
wins to start the season. His successes were quickly struck down, however, when a shoulder injury requiring immediate surgery sidelined him for the rest of the season. Unfortunately for Chaffee, the injury bug bit him, and it didn’t quit. After making one appearance the next season, Chaffee broke his right ankle in car accident, again needing surgery, and again having to forfeit the season. Looking back on it, Chaffee recalls the anguish that he went through, before realizing that there was only one thing to do. “I could either be down about it, or I could get over it and overcome it and be better,” he said. “It’s what I went through everyday.” He decided to get over it, get healthy and get better. As fall practice rolled around last year, his injury-plagued career kept Chaffee’s name off of the bullpen contender list. “I said this to my staff after we played New Mexico, I said ‘Fellas, when we had staff meetings at the end of every fall week, where was Chaffee?’” Lopez said. “And I said this to him as well,” Lopez continued. “‘I’m proud of you, what a joy, you have made yourself a college pitcher,’ and he has. It’s kind of sweet.” His story is a motivator and he is an inspiration to his team, the coaching staff and anyone who talks to him. “As the season started, he came in and I was like, ‘Wow, look at this guy, where’d he come from?’” said Arizona catcher Jett Bandy. “All of the sudden he’s become our guy.
Annie Marum/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Junior Matt Chaffee has been one of the few reliable relief pitchers that Arizona head coach Andy Lopez has been able to call on all season. The southpaw has been plagued by injuries, both on and off the field, throughout his Wildcat career but his work ethic has prepared him for the 2011 season. Chaffee leads the team with 21 appearances and three saves.
He’s legit.” Lopez also uses Chaffee as a daily example of the level of work he would like to see in his clubhouse. “Coach Lopez said, ‘That’s just him beating the game right there, that’s just him out working the game off the field,’” Bandy said. “It’s just awesome.” Not only does his work ethic bring motivation to his team, Chaffee’s dedication is most evident when he steps on the mound. Since assuming the role, Chaffee has been lights out, and is the most consistent
pitcher out of the Arizona bullpen. So far this season he’s holding a 4-1 record with 39 strikeouts to his name. Perhaps his best outing came this past weekend when, in the first game of the Sunday double-header, the bases were loaded in the bottom of the eighth with the Wildcats leading 9-8 and Chaffee struck out two in a row to end the inning. He followed that half inning with two more strikeouts in the ninth to secure the save and propel Arizona to its first Pacific 10 Conference series
win of the season. Despite falling under the team’s radar just six months ago, Lopez said that Chaffee’s summer will get busy quickly as he will be on the radar of some major league clubs. “When you have a chance to really work on your mechanics, to the point where it becomes second nature to you, maybe this past fall, in the weight room, in front of a mirror, all those little things,” Lopez said, “Chaffee’s the other side of it, he’s a guy that has said ‘I’m going to make myself a college pitcher ’ and he has.”
