Clinton: Students should volunteer ASUA By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Daily Wildcat had an opportunity to participate in a conference call with former President Bill Clinton on Wednesday. The call was part of this weekend’s annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, held at the University of

Miami, and addressed issues facing students and the former president’s activities since leaving the White House in 2000. Four student-journalists from universities across the country were given this opportunity. “I came to see how profoundly important it is that every citizen define good citizenship in the 21st century as more than getting a good education,

working hard at your job, paying your taxes, being a responsible family member and voting,” Clinton said. “I think it also requires you to do some kind of non-governmental

service. Something where, as a private citizen, you try to do public good.” It was with this idea in mind that Clinton launched the Clinton Global Initiative University in 2007, to reach the next generation of leaders on college campuses. “I think every university should have CLINTON, page 3

Lady longboarders gear up By Alexandra Newman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After noticing an absence of longboards made specifically for women and being a passionate rider herself, Brienne Duvauchelle , a psychology junior, ventured into business with her friend Gregg Foster and created Vixen Boarding . “I find that the culture of longboarding has really flourished in the last couple of years, especially around college campuses,” Duvauchelle said. “I’m hoping to pinpoint the demographic of female college students.” The difference between a Vixen board and a regular longboard is the weight and structure. The wood is nine-ply as opposed to 11-ply, so the board is lighter and the its trucks have a unique structure, made out of only three pieces instead of 11. “It makes it easier to turn without using as much weight,” Duvauchelle said. “Most men have a little more weight they can put into it, but this takes very little effort to accomplish tight-radius turns.” Duvauchelle’s boards are being sold in a few Tucson retail shops, including a UA Bookstore on Park Avenue , and at a few shops in Los Angeles. Those interested can also visit her Web site, vixenboarding. com, to buy a board. Foster and Duvauchelle met through a mutual friend. He approached her about the idea after seeing her board. Foster asked her if there were longboards designed for girls and after some research, they came up with the idea for the company. “I don’t really have a good business sense but fortunately … he’s very business savvy and I called upon his help in order to branch out to the market that I’d like to,” Duvauchelle said. The idea took about two years and took off last summer when Duvauchelle ordered the inventory and began putting the boards together. “I think that’s what makes us so different,” Foster said. “The coowner of our company actually rides them, tests them out. It’s not like a bunch of guys putting them out for women.” Duvauchelle, an art minor, said she enjoys designing the boards and getting into the artistic aspect. “I focus more on the design aspects and I’m hoping to develop more of an apparel line which I hope BOARDS, page 3

shells out $5K for fashion By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona met Wednesday and approved Sen. Stephen Wallace’s fashion show funds request, which the senate tabled at last week’s meeting. The senate approved close to $5,000 for the request. At last week’s meeting, Wallace requested $7,578 for Diamonds in the Sky, a project that aims to raise money for the Diamond Children’s Medical Center. “With this kind of large-scale event, there may be some unexpected expenses that we foresee,” Wallace said. “I ask for an ‘up to’ amount so I won’t have to come back to the senate with more requests.” Wallace received $4,000 from special events and got a Center for Student Involvement and Leadership grant of $502 that will go toward a projector and other items. The grant also funds 20 pizzas, 20 cases of beverages and five cups of Eegee’s. “I’m exponentially more confident in budgeting this event at a lesser amount,” Sen. Daniel Wallace said. Stephen Wallace added that he will seek outside donations for his event. “We will go to other Tucson vendors for napkins, cups, forks and table cloths. I’m not going to stop now just because I got the money in my hand,” he said. Patti King, senior associate for academic affairs for the Office of the Provost, presented an informational item on the issue of the final exam schedule and college graduation ceremonies. King discussed the problem of students having to make a decision between taking a final exam and going to their college commencement ceremony. “This is not a position I think any of you (students) want to be in, nor do faculty members,” King said.“It’s a bigger problem in the spring than in the fall.” The final exam schedule indicates that a faculty member is obligated to schedule a different final exam time for a student who has a graduation ceremony at the same time, King said. “That’s problematic because faculty then feel that they need to create a second final exam so that the exam is not out there for everyone who has not yet taken it,” King said. “It’s a lot of extra aggravation at the end of the year when everyone is overextended anyway.” The Academic Personnel Policy Committee recommended that the

Global Health exhibit features world’s communities By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Sonali Sen, left, a second-year medical student, and Liberty Wicklund, a business economics junior, study surrounded by photographs from the “In Small Corners: Capturing Moments of Global Health” exhibit in the Java area of the UA College of Medicine’s Health Sciences Library on Monday.

Second-year UA medical students Shreya Patel and Emily Wilkinson are working to bring global awareness to their fellow students with the first Global Health Forum photography exhibit. “In Small Corners: Capturing Moments of Global Health,” is on display at the Arizona Health Sciences Library in the Java area Room 2101, a study area. Patel said they strategically placed their exhibit “in a study space where people can go and look at a beautiful photo.” The exhibit features photos contributed by students, faculty and staff of the colleges

of medicine and public health. Each photo has a caption detailing the photographer’s experience participating in global health projects while traveling to countries all over the world, helping smaller communities with dire medical needs. “The initial idea was to broaden people’s perspective on global health,” Patel said, “but it’s really about so much more than that. It’s about getting to know the people in the community, working with them, learning the language, spending time with the children and integrating ourselves into a community. “It went beyond just showing up, doing our work and leaving,” she added. “And seeing the children every day, their smiles, it’s just something

so beautiful. I’ll never forget it.” As co-chairs of the Global Health Forum, Patel and Wilkinson wanted to expose students to the conditions of people living in smaller communities around the world and hoped to create awareness at the UA. Both students traveled and did volunteer work with the Global Health Forum. The student club at the UA College of Medicine organizes trips to a variety of countries across the globe, including Honduras, India, Nicaragua, Mexico and Tanzania. The idea of using photography to promote health awareness was developed with students, faculty

‘Twilight’ series on list of challenged books

NEW YORK — Stephenie Meyer, the hottest author for young people since J.K. Rowling, has a new link to the creator of “Harry Potter”: a place high on the list of books most complained about by parents and educators. Meyer’s multimillion-selling “Twilight” series was ranked No. 5 on the annual report of “challenged books” released Wednesday by the American Library Association. Meyer’s stories of vampires and teen romance have been criticized for sexual content; a library association official also thinks that the “Twilight” series reflects general unease about supernatural stories. “Vampire novels have been a Stephenie Meyer target for years and the ‘Twilight’ books are so immensely popular that a lot of the concerns people have had about vampires are focused on her books,” says Barbara Jones, director of the association’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. Christian groups for years have protested the themes of wizardry in Rowling’s books, which don’t appear on the current top 10. Topping the 2009 chart was Lauren Myracle’s “IM” series, novels told through instant messages that have been criticized for nudity, language and drug references. Last year’s No. 1 book, “And Tango Makes Three,” by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson, is now No. 2, cited again for its story about two male penguins adopting a baby. Third was Stephen Chbosky’s “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,”for which the many reasons include drugs, suicide, homosexuality and being antifamily. Also cited were such perennials as J.D. Salinger’s“The Catcher in the Rye” (sexual content, language), Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” (language, racism), Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple” (sexual content, language) and Robert Cormier’s “The Chocolate War” (nudity, language, sexual content). The ALA recorded 460 challenges in 2009, a drop from 513 the year before, and 81 books actually being removed. The ALA defines a challenge as a “formal, written complaint filed with a library or school requesting that materials be removed because of content or appropriateness.” For every challenge tallied, about four or five end up unreported, according to the ALA. — The Associated Press

President questions rising tuition costs

a service mission and every university student should,” Clinton said. “I think it’s important to recognize that you don’t have to have a lot of money to make a big difference.” Clinton discussed the rising cost of higher education in the United States. “The one thing no one disputes is that we still have the best system of higher education in the world,” Clinton said. “It’s really the crown jewel, not just of the American society and the American economy, but we are rapidly pricing it out of reach of our own citizens and those that come to our shores to attend college.” Clinton described recent legislative actions of the Obama administration as steps in the right direction, particularly the recent Student Loan Reform Act that ended subsidized student loans and gave students the option of paying borrowed money back to the federal government as a fixed percentage of their income. “Think what this will mean with students getting out of college,” Clinton said, “and particularly if they go to graduate school, medical school, law school, other graduate education with these huge debts and thinking, ‘Boy, I’d like to do a public service job but I can’t make my debt requirement.’ That will all change when you go to incomedependent repayment cost.” But Clinton stressed there is still much to do to meet the goal of providing affordable, accessible higher education to all students in the United States.“This is a big first step, but it’s only a first step,” Clinton said. He expressed concern about the disproportionate rise in higher education costs, citing that tuition for a public

university rose from 7 percent of the average family income in 1992 to more than 13 percent today. “Is it twice as good?”Clinton wondered. “And if not, why did it go up so much?” Falling state financial support and other competing areas of cost were mentioned as reasons for the rise in college tuition. “Because higher education is so good in America and such a prized commodity, I think there’s been an assumption that it was price-inelastic, to use an economic term, that people would just keep paying or that the money would just be found. But it opens up a huge gap in American society because there’s so many people who need to go who can’t,” he said. University of West Virginia student journalist Devon Unger asked Clinton about his attempts to reform the national healthcare system and why he felt Obama succeeded where Clinton had not. “The problem now is even worse than it was then,” Clinton said. “When I tried to reform the American healthcare system and ensure universal access to healthcare, we were spending 14 percent of our income on healthcare and no one else was spending more than 10. “When President Obama signed that bill, we were spending 17.2 percent of our income on healthcare and all of our competitors were still spending between 9 and 10 1/2 percent.”

through her business process. “In a way, by her providing these longboards … she’s also mentoring others,” Taylor said. “She’s doing something that she loves, that she has a passion for, and she brings that passion and joy to the work and our meetings, and frankly it’s a great joy to be involved in this company.” Taylor said she enjoys coaching Duvauchelle through her artistic and business processes, while helping her improve her manufacturing and operations to maximize her profits. “She will be able to broaden this and branch out to other lines

Sex, drugs, responsibility

adies, you really need to take some personal responsibility for your actions. This is just getting out of hand(job). There are, to be sure, women who really are victims of legitimate sexual violence. This argument does not belittle or impugn their suffering or their deserving of justice in any way. Those who carry out violence against any person should be given due trial and brought to justice. There is, however, a distinct margin of incidents of supposed sexual assault that fall into that dark crack between true rape and consensual liasons. The word“rape”is thrown around like a sobering slap in situation where the allegations are somewhat ambiguous. Especially for men, charges of rape turns business time into very serious business. Men (or at least, usually men) have long postured that women Anna Swenson who drink beyond the point Opinions editor of clear consent are“asking for it.”While a woman should never be forced into anything she does not explicitly want to do, women should start taking at least some degree of personal responsibility in incidents where consent is unclear. If a woman is engaging in activities that might lead to her being in a situation in which questions regarding consent may be raised, one can’t reasonably waive all responsibility for the situation by saying,“I was drunk.”In vino veritas, but in wine is also responsibility. Sex and drinking are both adult activities, with good reason. OK, she wasn’t asking for it. But she must certainly acknowledge that when one drinks, one is aware of the possibility of the situation. Blaming the victim of sexual assault is wrong, and a person should never be socially vilified for being assaulted. But in the conversation surrounding how to prevent future sexual assaults, women are accomplishing little by trying to make the drunk girl who regrets the night into the pedestal-perched superlative victim. In preventing sexual assault, women should take all the classic measures to prevent making a decision they will regret: go to parties with reliable friends, know you alcohol limits and don’t lay down on a guy’s bed in your Cuervo-fueled stupor unless you really are asking for it. Be smart, but most importantly: take responsibility for your actions. Don’t ruin a guy’s night (and life) with a rape charge because you got a little too drunk and went a little too far. The nadir of this entire heaving, sweaty problem is the societal stigma against female sexual self-determination. Why are women tempted to blame the man? Society dictates that women are not allowed to want casual sex, and if they have it, it must be the fault of a man who took advantage of some poor quivering fawn in sixinch stiletto boots. But women need to realize that no matter what society dictates, each woman makes her own individual decisions regarding both drinking and sex. If a woman is sexually active, she should acknowledge that she is pursuing sexual encounters not because of outside factors like peer pressure, or men, or Patron. The phenomenon of the too-drunk girl claiming she has been drugged and leveling charges of rape against a man because she regrets the night only moves the culture backward in terms of preventing future sexual assaults and in securing sexual equality for women. Granted, changing a culture is more difficult than opening a front-closure bra after half a bottle of Sauza. But to prevent future sexual assaults, promote female sexual self-determination and improve men’s consideration of women, women should take some responsibility for their actions. Women would accomplish more in terms of sexual equality by unapologetically owning accountability for their sexual actions and desires than they will by trying to make the girl who goes too far and regrets it into a symbol of the victimized-female masses. You can want sex, and you don’t have to be a victim.

MAILBAG Letters to the editor Bad news for bikers

The UA owns and operates the Science and Technology Park on Rita Road. There are two controlled entrances to this park. One on Rita Road and the other on Kolb Road. The week an abrupt detour was installed on the Kold Road access. On Monday morning the detour appeared. Grubb and Ellis did a good job of making the detour slow enough so that cyclists and motorists can share the road. The speed limit for this detour is 15 mph, which is well within the capabilities of bicycling commuters. They have not done a good job of dust control. After some (somewhat vocal) cyclists complained about abrupt notice and poor dust control, the UA made another abrupt decision to ban cyclists from this entrance. Some cyclists riding racier road bikes might find this detour inconvenient or unsafe but solid touring, commuting and mountain bikes are safe on this detour. I would not ride my skinny tire race bike on this detour but my daily commuter is solid and safe. If this were the main campus, the UA would not get away with this, but our cycling community out here is much smaller and we have less voice. We would like to understand why the UA is not actively supporting bicycling in the community. This is April and PAG is pushing alternative commute methods this month. I expect that UA should be more supportive of non-auto commuting alternatives. And I would also expect them to communicate much better than they have.

A view from other college editorials

Four-day week Most of us have gone through four years of high school, attending five days a week for about seven hours a day. But in Klamath Falls, Ore., a motion was put in to cut the school week to four days in order to save the district $6.3 million annually, according to The Seattle Times . And while cuts have swept our state in recent weeks, education should have been the last to go — the same goes for this particular county. We simply cannot agree with cuts to the school week. Teenagers would undoubtedly be happy, but since when do they know better? The plan to take Fridays off the school calendar can only result in a cascade of problems. Students would be deprived of an education that had been offered to their ancestors and has so far worked. And while the district’s plan includes a lengthening of the regular four days, an increase in the school day will not be able to help anyone. Students’ parents will have to concern themselves with later pickups or earlier drop-offs — both possibly damaging to their daily routines. Teachers would also have to be convinced to work extra hours per day in accordance with the new plan. Teaching assistants, cooks, custodians, secretaries and bus drivers would also have to change their schedules in order to accommodate the ridiculous situation. Cuts are absolutely necessary. That comes without a doubt. But the seriousness of cutting a day of the school week is more than we think. We cannot risk depriving students of their K-12 education. Instead of implementing this rash change, cuts to top district officials should go into effect. The already-overpaid superintendents of many schools seem to inappropriately raise their salaries while students and their schools suffer. There are many amenities that could be cut from many schools across the nation. In the case of New Jersey,

years, you would probably check it out. “What’s the cost?” you may ask. Only about 10 minutes of your time. By completing the 2010 Census form and returning your information, each and every University of Arizona college student who lives in the Tucson region during the school year, can “earn” $25,000 for the Pima County region. OK. So the money may not be deposited directly in your pocket. However, you will be the beneficiary of the $25,000 in one way or another. Do you drive a car, ride your bike or walk on the region’s streets or sidewalks? Do you visit the public library? Do you go to a medical clinic? Transportation programs, libraries, medical programs and other important community services annually receive federal and state funds based on our region’s population count. It’s not too late to count yourself today. Help our region help you and others over the next 10 years.

after Gov. Chris Christie ’s budget, many schools lost some funding, yet we partly agree with that decision as many district institutions had pointless extras. Automatic doors, million-dollar football fields and constant building renovations are only several of the unneeded facilities. A five-day school week has been in place for decades, and any motion to shorten it will only turn students off to school. An extra day of free time because of money problems could cause much more than financial changes. After all, what happened to “kids, stay in school?” —“Shorter school week spells trouble,” Rutgers Daily Targum editorial board, April 12

Don’t nuke the nukes The Facts: President Barack Obama recently signed a treaty with Russia to curb the total number of deployed nuclear warheads to 1,550. He also rewrote the United States’ nuclear posture. Our Opinion: Making the world a safer place is always noble. Weakening the U.S.’s nuclear deterrence ability, thereby making the world more dangerous, isn’t so noble. The U.S. and Soviet Union spent a large portion of the post-World War II era trying to match each other in a conventional- and nuclear-arms race. Even 20 years after the end of the Soviet Union, the combined nuclear arsenal of Russia and the U.S. still exceeds 20,000 warheads. The newly announced treaty forged by Russian President Dmitri Medvedev and Obama will reduce the strategically deployed level from the START II level of 2,200 warheads to 1,550 for each country, but doesn’t provide any real benefit to the U.S. or its allies. In fact, when taken in union with Obama’s Nuclear Posture

Review, the U.S. has dramatically weakened its nuclear position. Obama’s stated goal of a nuclear-free world is naïve and fails to address the important role deterrence plays. Likewise, his promise in the review to never use nuclear force against non-nuclear nations, even if they attack the U.S. or its allies with non-conventional weapons, completely undermines our nuclear presence. The entire point of having a nuclear deterrent is being able to point to it, as the U.S. did during the Cold War, to show the consequences of aggressive action. It’s an inherently flawed concept that essentially invites the U.S.’s enemies to use dirty means against us with the promise that they’ll only face conventional retaliation. The new deployment total, while certainly a goodwill showing, has little to no meaning in light of the destructive power those arsenals have; the Earth would still be reduced to ash if 3,100 nuclear warheads were scattered across the planet. When the Kremlin crumbled, nuclear arms ceased to be an issue of protection from Russia; but they remained an incredibly powerful deterrent for an increasingly indebted superpower. Obama’s desire to make the world a safer place is honorable, but too many countries rely on America’s nuclear dominance as a means for their own protection for him to give out such dramatic concessions. As a result, nuclear proliferation could actually gain momentum if more countries feel threatened by the U.S.’s announcement to stop being the world’s nuclear umbrella. —“The power of nuclear deterrence,” The North Carolina State University Technician editorial board, April 12

EVERYONE HAS A STORY By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone Has a Storyâ&#x20AC;? is a weekly segment in the Arizona Daily Wildcat that aims to tell the story of an interesting person on the UA campus. This week, the Daily Wildcat interviewed Kapil Galla , a firstyear doctoral student in mining and geological engineering, aspiring actor and upcoming intern at the Cannes International Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If astronomy is for the stars, acting is to become a star,â&#x20AC;? Galla said of his two career aspirations. Gallaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for both acting and space exploration began when he was a child in Hyderabad, India . Galla developed a curiosity about space when his brother told him that the moon is actually much smaller than stars even though it looks bigger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During hot India summers, we slept outside on the balcony and looked at the stars,â&#x20AC;? Galla said. Born in southern India, Gallaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in becoming a global actor was sparked from his childhood

Astronomer hopes to be a star

love for films. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I grew (up) watching movies. When I see a movie, I feel â&#x20AC;Ś like one of the characters,â&#x20AC;? Galla said. As he watches films, Galla imagines how he would act in the roles on the screen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do a lot of observations and imitations of others,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Consciously or unconsciously, I try to imitate people, such as actors, people I meet and my friends.â&#x20AC;? While he remembers imitating classmates in school, Galla now enjoys doing impressions of Al Pacino and President Barack Obama, among other famous people. Galla moved to the United States four years ago to be a research scholar in the UA astronomy department. He went on to get his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in aerospace engineering, and is now pursuing his Ph.D. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are two fields I want to work in during my life, space exploration and acting,â&#x20AC;? Galla said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re completely different from each other, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to balance both of these.â&#x20AC;?

During his two-week Cannes International Film Festival internship, Galla expects to work with either a major Hollywood production company or a talent agency. He will also be working with students to produce an end-of-the-internship showcase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be an intensive program (but) I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind working 24 hours a day, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited for it,â&#x20AC;? Galla said. Last year, Galla made a film called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Man of the Moment,â&#x20AC;? about Obama. He won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Actor for his role as Obama at the Campus MovieFest Western Regional Grand Finale . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though I have never met him, he gave me inspiration and energy by his speeches and talks,â&#x20AC;? Galla said of Obama. The etymology behind Gallagher Theater, it has an ironic meaning that holds a lot of weight for Galla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the word, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gallaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is my last name, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; back in India,â&#x20AC;? Galla said.

Fraternity fellows fist fight

University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived to the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house on Friday at 3:25 a.m. after a fight was reported. When the officers arrived at the house, one stayed in the front and the other went to the back. The officer in the back of the house found a man that was bleeding from his knuckles and had scrapes on his shoulder. The man told the officers he and a friend were walking down the alley to visit a friend who lives in the apartment buildings at 913 E. Euclid Ave. when 10 men jumped them. The man said the group attacked him and punched him in the head several times. According to the man, the group then ran back inside the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity house. The officer said the man was very intoxicated and upset. The man’s friend ran from the scene and said he hadn’t been injured. The officers knocked on the door of Tau Kappa Epsilon to find those involved in the incident and to speak with the fraternity president. One of the house members answered the door and told the officers the president was not there, but he would find “anyone he could” who was involved with the incident. One of the members told the officer the two men walking through the alley were yelling and cussing and then four unknown men came up and started fighting with the two men. Another fraternity member said he had been standing outside smoking when he heard yelling. He then went to the alley and one of the men pulled him to the ground. The man said they were taunting one another about their fraternities because the two men in the alley allegedly belong to Phi Kappa Psi. After an hour the member who had answered the door admitted he had tried to break up the fight and ended up getting hit in the cheek. Once the fight ended, the fraternity members ran back inside the house. No one involved wanted to press charges because they were too intoxicated to clearly identify one another. Code of Conduct referrals were sent to the Dean of Students for one member of Phi Kappa Psi and one member of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Can’t handle the Coors

A UAPD officer arrived to the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall on Saturday at 1:49 p.m. after paramedics were called to attend to a man unconscious on the eighth floor. Tucson Fire Department paramedics took the man’s vitals and decided he did not need to be transported to University Medical Center. He was found passed out in the men’s restroom. The officer reported the man was intoxicated and smelled of alcohol. When they spoke with him, the man had slurred speech and trouble standing. At one point, the man fell over and ripped the decorative paper off the wall. The man gave the officer a fake name, but then corrected himself after the officer warned him that giving a false identity is illegal. He told the officer he went to a pool party at the Campus Crossings Star Pass apartments and was given a wristband to drink without having to provide identification. He used the wristband to drink six bottles of Coors Light beer. The man was cited and released for minor in possession.

Thief books it from BookStore

A UAPD officer was called to the UofA BookStore at 1209 E. University Blvd. on Saturday at 11:51 a.m. after a loss prevention officer reported chasing down shoplifters. The loss prevention officer told the officer he saw a man take a T-shirt from the shelf and hide it under his own shirt. He and a friend then left the store without paying. The loss prevention officer said he tried to stop the men, but they ran away. The man hiding the shirt tossed it to his friend. The loss prevention officer was able to stop the friend, but the man who initially stole the shirt got away. The man said he had no idea his friend was going to steal anything. The man was issued a trespassing warning from the bookstore. After searching for the thief, the officer could not find him. Video surveillance and a picture of the receipt for the shirt worth $16.99 were placed into UAPD property as evidence.

Belligerent man scales dumpster to pee

A UAPD officer was called to the Coronado Residence Hall on Saturday at 1:28 a.m. after a desk assistant reported a man banging on the doors and yelling. A resident assistant said the man came inside the building and told them he did not live there. The man was asked to leave, but he went to the bathroom and stayed there for about 10 minutes. Once the man was out of the bathroom, he walked up to the desk assistant and accused him of taking his cell phone. He was asked to leave again and then went outside. While he was outside, RAs told the officer the man climbed on top of the dumpster and urinated off the side of it into the parking lot. After urinating in the lot, the man walked up to the glass doors of the dorm and started banging and yelling to let him in. The officer spoke with the man and he said he had been waiting for his friend so he could go to bed. When an RA checked for the name of the friend the man said he was waiting for, there was no one in the residence hall by that name. The man was arrested for minor in possession and criminal littering. He was transported to Pima County Jail. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

Census officials to knock on UA doors By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Friday is the last day to turn in your census form before a government official comes knocking. The 2010 Census has a higher response rate from tracts around the city compared with the UA campus, which is promoting a final push on campus before students leave for the summer. If forms are not filled out by Friday, the cost to taxpayers goes up 13,333 percent, from the 42 cents in mailing costs to $56 for a census taker to knock on students’ doors and ask the same questions themselves. “The only reason that anybody would want to do that is knowledge, power and money,” said Dave Taylor, demographics adviser for the Pima Association of Governments.“We learn a lot about our community by taking the census. It’s very valuable because governments are needing priorities for resources, and this is the way we level the playing field in the House of Representatives, it’s the way we divvy up the political power.” Taylor said there are a lot of myths about the census. “This was never any kind of an overbearing plot by the government, this is a well-visit to the social doctrine,” Taylor said. “This is how we find out more about our nation and what it needs, because if people aren’t counted, they lose political power. If people aren’t counted, their community loses shared revenues, which amounts to $25,000 per person over a decade.” Many are hesitant to fill out the census, but Taylor’s message is simple. “To not take part is to give your tax dollars to someone else,”Taylor said. Sheila Storm, communications director for the Pima Association of Government, agrees. “If people mail their forms by Friday, they are less likely to have someone knocking on their door for the same information,” Storm said. “Another thing is that when students graduate from college, they might

THE SUN’LL COME OUT ...

be using some of that statistical data from the census. They will have more accurate information to do their future job better.” The UA is doing its part to get students, especially those who live on campus, to participate. “We’ve been in works with Census 2010 for about two months to make sure that everybody who lives on campus is counted in the census,” said Torry Brouillard-Bruce, assistant director of hall operations with Residence Life. “(Residence Life) is doing everything we can to make students realize they are part of the U.S. population and the census is working to count everybody. We’ve been doing education around what does the census mean and why it’s important.” Funding is essential to alleviate some of the major pitfalls of state government funding for local governments, which gets allocated to schools. Many worry that if students leave for the summer without filling the census out, the UA will lose out. “You’d hate for the state to lose out on the budget it needs because students didn’t fill out the census,” said Laura Cummings, a partnership specialist with the U.S. Census Bureau.“If those students are counted (in) the place where they don’t spend the majority amount of the year, the funding will go to that state and not the school that they are attending.” Cummings stressed that filling out the census is worthwhile, especially from a student perspective. “If you care about your tuition and college costs going up, fill out your census form because it will help the state get the funding that it needs to fund these things,” she said.

The Army’s Angel Story and images by Tim Glass

hink failing a calculus test is bad? Imaging failing a test in the field of combat. That’s ultimately the test ROTC cadets prepare for. “As of Dec. 31, 2009, 38,101 Army officers were deployed,” according to Wayne Hall, media relations officer for the U.S. Army. The Army does not keep separate statistics for types of deployments. ROTC trains students physically and mentally for their roles as military officers. Cadets attend physical training three times per week, beginning at 6 a.m. They also attend classroom training on topics such as leadership, first aid, weapons and handling tactical situations. Classroom training is practiced during a lab on Wednesday afternoons. These skills are put to the test twice yearly at field training exercises. This spring, the joint field training exercise was held at Camp Navajo, near Flagstaff, Ariz., from March 25-28. Cadets from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas; Arizona State University; Northern Arizona University; Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University; and Grand Canyon University joined UA cadets at the Army depot. Angel Flores joined Army ROTC her freshman year. Initially she set out to be a history major, but later decided to major in veterinary sciences. Despite the demands of ROTC, Flores maintained a 3.0 grade point average last semester and has a 3.37 cumulative GPA. Women represent 23 percent of ROTC cadets according to Army Major Vernal Fulton, ROTC recruiting operations officer. They represent 17.2 percent of the 75,619 Army officers for fiscal Angel Flores learns to safely handle an unloaded Army pistol at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base firing range, Feb. 27. Cadets were taught safe handling year 2009, according to Hall. procedures by cadre and later attempted to qualify with the weapons. ROTC is a four-year program for most students, followed by commissioning as officers, additional job-specific training and assignment to active or reserve duty, according to the Army ROTC Web site. Flores will receive her commission and serve as an Army reserve officer or have her active duty delayed until she completes her doctor of veterinary medicine degree. “She sets her mind to something, and she gets what she wants,” said Sean Hart, Flores’s father. According to him, she has always been aggressive about chasing her dreams. Whether the Army will allow her to defer her commission as an officer and pay for her graduate degree will depend, in part, on how she well she performs at the Leader Development and Assessment Course over the summer. “She’s ranked number five in a class of 27,” said Army Major John Crump, commandant of cadets. Evaluations during training exercises and leadership roles at Leader Development and Assessment Course, her physical training test and her GPA will help determine Flores’ standing on a national order of merit list. The Army uses the order of merit list combined with its needs and the cadet’s preferences to determine where and in what kind of job the cadets will serve as officers. The higher a cadet’s standAngel Flores struggles to complete one more push up during the ing on the order of merit list, the more likely the Army will work physical training test on April 9 on the UA Mall. Cadets attempt to with cadets to assign them their preferences. complete as many push ups as possible in two minutes, as many sit ups as possible in two minutes, and then complete a two-mile run. Flores completed 36 push ups.

Flores keeps watch near Park Avenue with a dummy weapon as squad members perform threeto five-second rushes during lab on Feb. 3. Cadets attend lab to practice concepts learned in classroom training.

Flores instructs her squad during a situational training exercise at the Joint Field Training Exercise at Camp Navajo, March 27. Flores moved her squad safely to contact the “enemy” and achieved their mission with no casualities.

Flores answers test questions during a land-navigation exam at Camp Navajo on March 27. After completing the exam, cadets attended situational training exercises, in which they were tested on their abilities to lead fellow cadets through simulated combat environments.

DWsports Miller continues recruiting success

Nicole Dimtsios Sports Editor 520•626•2956 sports@wildcat.arizona.edu

By Bryan Roy Arizona Daily Wildcat

Twelve months, eight recruits so far. UA men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller officially inked two more incoming players Wednesday on the first day of the late signing period. Just as expected, Jordin Mayes and Jesse Perry will enroll in July.

And there’s one more on the way, Miller said. “In a little over 12 months, we’ve signed nine players,” Miller said. “That’s really hard to do. I like the ones we have, but it’s taken an amazing amount of energy to do it. But that part is behind us. Hopefully, a year from now, we can all agree we’re in a better place moving forward.”

The 6-foot-2, 170-pound Mayes of Los Angeles is ranked No. 106 overall by Rivals.com and becomes the first Westchester High School alum to play at Arizona since Hassan Adams. “Jordin Mayes has won back-to-back state championships and had prominent roles on each,”Miller said in a press release. “He is the ultimate winner. First and foremost, he is an excellent 3-point shooter,

and that, coupled with good size, gives him an opportunity to play both the point and off-guard positions during his career.” The 6-foot-7, 210-pound Perry averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds at John A. Logan Community College in Cartersville, Ill. The transfer will have two years of eligibility remaining. Miller signed five freshmen last spring, one last fall (Daniel Bejarano of

Nelson striving for NFL

Phoenix) and two to begin this spring signing period. Miller said Monday he expects to add one more to his class. “These two signees are great additions to the Arizona family,” Miller said. “Their backgrounds in solid man-to-man defensive programs put them in a great position to impact our team right away.”

Offensive, defensive coaches talk spring By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat With the Spring Game now a thing of the past, Arizona football is moving forward to the summer. Players will be focusing on exams and workouts while coaches begin to dissect film from the spring and hit the recruiting trail. Co-defensive coordinators Tim Kish and Greg Brown and co-offensive coordinators Seth Littrell and Bill Bedenbaugh spoke to the media on Thursday to give their final thoughts on the spring.

Former Arizona safety Cam Nelson, left, explodes into a tackle during the Wildcats’ 27-13 victory over the UCLA Bruins at Arizona Stadium on Oct. 24, 2009. Nelson has been overlooked leading up to the NFL Draft.

Safety’s impact catapults him into possible NFL contention By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat Cam Nelson will go down as one of the most important players in Arizona football’s recent resurgence to relevancy, and perhaps of all time. Through his skill on the field and his leadership off the field, Nelson was the figurehead in the 2006 recruiting class that helped put Wildcat football back on the map. Nelson was a three-year starter, a captain and was named a second team All-Pac-10 safety after his senior season. It only seems fitting that such a career should be rewarded with a trip to the NFL Combine and a guaranteed draft pick, but Nelson doesn’t have either. The always laid-back Nelson is calm and collected when you ask how he’s doing: “I’m good, just going to class and working out,”but inside there is a burning desire to prove his doubters wrong.

The beginning Nelson’s career started as a diamondin-the-rough recruit out of Kimball High School in Dallas, Texas. He was an option-quarterback and cornerback in high school, and despite interest from some notable schools like Nebraska, he chose to commit to Arizona shortly before his senior season. Committing to play football at Arizona in 2006 wasn’t exactly a headline-grabber. The Wildcats hadn’t been to a bowl game since 1998 and the culture of the football program was just, well, bad. But that was part of the appeal for Nelson. “One of my goals when I came here was to help turn the program around,” Nelson said.“I think we did that.” Nelson’s fondness for the Stoops brothers — both head coach Mike and

then-defensive coordinator Mark — helped him transition into college, and his belief in their system helped him become an instant contributor. He appeared in all 12 games his freshman season as a special teams standout and reserve defensive back before becoming the starting strong safety his sophomore year. He remained at that spot his junior year before becoming the anchor of the secondary at free safety as a senior. Nelson had his coming out party in 2009, as he finally became the leader of the defensive backs after working in the shadows of players like Nate Ness and Antoine Cason. Nelson took the baton and ran with it. He totaled 64 total tackles, three sacks, three forced fumbles, three pass breakups and he finally collected his elusive first career interception. “I always thought I was going to be a corner,” Nelson said, “so with the transition I made (to safety) I feel like everything turned out pretty good.” But Nelson’s biggest achievement as a Wildcat was his involvement in the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl team and the 2009 Holiday Bowl team. When Nelson arrived in Tucson, Wildcat football lacked continuity. “When I got here, the only thing guys were worried about was their stats or where they’d get drafted and how much money they’d make,”Nelson said. Nelson and the rest of the 2006 recruiting class had a simple task: make it to a bowl game. But it was the team-building atmosphere that he helped create as a vocal leader throughout his career and a captain his senior year that will forever stamp Nelson’s Arizona career.

Pre-draft woes A career in the NFL was the next

logical step for Nelson, and his fellow players and coaches felt the same way. But not everyone agreed. The first blow came when Nelson didn’t receive an invite to the NFL Combine. While he was happy for teammates Earl Mitchell and Devin Ross, Nelson believed that he should have made the trip to Indianapolis with them. “It kind of made me mad,” Nelson said as modestly as possible. “But at the same time I probably wasn’t ready to work out that early so it kind of all worked out. I just felt like, you know, me being a three-year starter, I’d have a shot to go.” Then came the mock drafts and the prospect rankings. Nelson was nowhere to be found when draft analysts like Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay gloated about who they thought would get drafted where. ESPN.com ranks Nelson as the 58th overall safety in the draft, and NflDraftScout.com lists Nelson 35 out of 139 draft-eligible strong safeties. There was a silver lining, though: the scouts. “There were a lot of (scouts) and even players at the combine and at the all-star game asking where he was,” Mitchell said of Nelson. “He’s a good player and he has a good shot (at playing in the NFL).” This news was a relief to Nelson, and it inspired him to work even harder. “Hearing that makes me feel a lot better,” Nelson said. “When Vuna (Tuihalamaka) goes on his visits and Earl (Mitchell) goes on his they tell me that teams ask about me so that gives me a little something to smile about.”

Waiting on the big day With NFL teams starting to take notice, Nelson has become somewhat of a relevant prospect. Scouts like the

way he helps defend the run and his feel for the game, but his willingness to do what it takes to help the team is what will land him a spot in the NFL. Even if his set position isn’t clear at first. “They have me as a safety. I told them I’ll play any defensive back (position),” Nelson said. “I talked to Nate (Ness) and he told me I could probably play some nickel and dime and a lot of special teams my first year. Whatever it is they need me to do.” With Ness and Mitchell in his corner, Nelson believes he has what it takes to be an NFL player regardless of where he gets drafted or who picks him up as a free agent. “Well, shoot,” Nelson groaned when asked where he’s heard he might get taken. “A lot of people got me down as going in the later rounds — fifth, sixth, seventh — or like a top priority free agent. So we’re waiting to see how it turns out. This is all based on how many safeties get picked first.” Nelson has been working out with Arizona strength and conditioning coach Corey Edmond. He said that continuing to work on his speed and strength will only help his seemingly uphill battle to make the NFL. His lifelong dream of playing in the NFL is a driving force behind his workouts, but his desire to prove those who doubt him or snubbed him is what might put him over the top. Just like Nelson’s career at Arizona, it wasn’t easy at first. But it was his hard work and determination that turned him into one of the most important pieces of the resurgence of Arizona football. He hopes that the same will be true in the NFL, too. “It’s a long process,”Nelson said.“Right now I’m just waiting to see.”

After coming to Tucson from Colorado, Brown’s first spring as an Arizona coach is now under his belt and the defensive backs coach couldn’t be more pleased with the way his group performed. Although he acknowledged a lack of depth, he’s excited about the way players in the secondary performed. “It was nice to see the improvement of (cornerback) Marcus Benjamin,” Brown said. “He came along and had an excellent spring and finished off with a top-notch spring game. He had a tremendous interception and the tackles that he made in the open field were nice plays.” Brown also paid compliments to senior cornerback Mike Turner, senior safety Anthony Wilcox and sophomore safety Adam Hall. The star of the secondary this spring, though, was safety Joe Perkins. He opened the spring as a free safety, but the coaches believe he can start at either free or strong safety. “Joe Perkins was as good as we’ve had in the secondary in the spring,” Brown said. “He played lights-out on many occasions and he kept getting better and better. The thing that really stands out with Joe is just the tremendous range that he’s got.” Brown didn’t rule out the possibility of moving last year’s starting strong safety Robert Golden to cornerback, his original position when he arrived at Arizona. In the freshman class, Brown is looking forward to adding highly touted safety recruit Marquis Flowers to make an impact next season. “We don’t have great numbers or great depth in the secondary right now, so there’s an opportunity for Marquis to come in here. “We see Marquis a safety along the lines of Taylor Mays from USC,” Brown added.“Big guy who can go out and hit and catch the ball and be smart. He’s got a lot of tools to work with.” Kish, who is also the linebacker coach, said his young linebacker unit isn’t quite ready to fully replace the three senior starters from last season, but thinks they are making strides. “I was excited to see the progression, especially with the whole group,” Kish said of the linebackers, singling out sophomore Jake Fischer and junior Derek Earls as players that are“expected to make an impact.” “Jake is a very competitive young man and has a great knowledge of the scheme,” Kish said of Fischer. “He adds a toughness to the group that I’m really FOOTBALL, page 14

Distance squad heads to California for Mt. SACs By Galo Mejia Arizona Daily Wildcat Five members of the Arizona track and field team’s distance squad will head to Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, Calif., this weekend for the Mt. SAC Relays, beginning today.

Head coach Fred Harvey feels this will be the best place for the distance runners to make a statement. “This is one of the few opportunities that they get to run those races in a controlled environment,” Harvey said. “We’re shooting to score the most

points we can and our performances will come along with that,” he added. The group will be running in 5,000 and 10,000-meter races and will be looking to set times that will put them in the descending order for the NCAA National Championships.

For the women, sophomores Maggie Callahan and Hannah Moen will run the 5,000m with freshman teammate Megan Meyer. Freshman Lauren Smith will run the 10,000m. Junior Mohamud Ige will be running in the men’s 5,000m.

The historic Mt. SAC meet will have thousands of athletes competing from all around the world, including collegiate and high school runners. It is also the site of two Olympic track and field trials and 20 world record-setting performances.

Kyle Simon

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Pitching, ping pong and pasta By Michael Fitzsimmons ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Daily Wildcat: What allowed you to be so successful on Sunday when you threw a complete game? Kyle Simon: Basically, I came into the game, and I got stretched out so my arm was really loose. My twoseam (fastball) was really diving on Sunday. I was throwing probably about 87-90 mph with about a foot of sink, so everything I threw over the plate, and I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have that good of command, but when I could throw it around the strike zone guys were swinging and missing or hitting easy ground balls for our fielders to field. My off-speed, changeup and slider were really on to get me back in the count, so I could get Kâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I needed them.

Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Note: Arizona pitcher Kyle Simon improved his record to 5-2 on Sunday after the Wildcats defeated the Washington Huskies 9-1. Simon threw a three-hit, complete game to give Arizona the series win. He caught up with the Arizona Daily Wildcat to discuss his performance, superstitions and teammate Kurt Heyerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom.

What are your goals for the rest of the year? You know just to go out and put my team in a winning situation when I leave the game, or just finish the game like I did on Sunday. Do you have any superstitions or weird routines before games you pitch? Superstitions â&#x20AC;Ś I try to stay away from because I figure if I lose a game then I kind of have to start over, so I just kind of go out there and do my best every time and compete my ass off. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not playing baseball, what are you doing? Playing ping-pong, I like to watch movies, I enjoy cooking, I like to go hiking â&#x20AC;Ś I like to bike ride. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your best dish that you cook?

I really like chicken fettuccini, I also like to cook Parmesan chicken, anything with chicken really because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big protein guy. Who is your favorite MLB player? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to say Brandon Webb. Why is that? His sinker-ball, I like that. Do you have a nickname that the team calls you? The guys here call me â&#x20AC;&#x153;Treeâ&#x20AC;? for being tall, 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slimeon.â&#x20AC;? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slimeon,â&#x20AC;? but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what they do. Last question that we ask everyone: Who is your dream girl? Hmm, dream girl. Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to say a porn star like (Kurt) Heyer â&#x20AC;Ś Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d probably have to go with, um â&#x20AC;Ś (turns to teammate Jett Bandy) Jett, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot? Um, I really like Megan Fox â&#x20AC;Ś and Kurtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom.

Kerr quieting critics with winning season By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Looking back almost a year, Suns general manager and former Arizona Wildcat Steve Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career was seemingly at risk of spiraling down the drain. But today, Kerr is riding high with returned success, just another example that winning cures all ills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this business, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun if you win, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brutal if you lose,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a fun year. The guys are all together and (head coach) Alvin (Gentry)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a great job with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fans are really appreciative of our team,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all come together.â&#x20AC;? In his first year after taking over as general manager, the Suns missed the playoffs and questions remained about the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future with point guard Steve Nash aging and All-Star

forward Amarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;e Stoudemire nearing the end of his contract. Friends and fellow NBA general managers like Danny Ferry of the Cleveland Cavaliers and John Paxson of the Chicago Bulls had warned Kerr of the rigors of manning an NBA organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All my friend GMs told me I was nuts, and they were right,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said of taking the position in Phoenix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You never really know until you step in it. They all warned me of the stress and the workload. Until I actually went through it, especially last year with the stress involved, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have really imagined.â&#x20AC;? Flash back to Wednesday night, when the Suns secured the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success has quieted critics who began talking as if Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s termination was imminent. Arizona Republic columnist Dan Bickley even predicted the

end of Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career in a column preceding the 2009 NBA Draft, saying it would be Kerrâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last. Whether the criticism was warranted, the former Arizona guard admitted the second year has been much smoother, partially

thanks to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Now in his second go-around, Kerr said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally grasped running the team, from working with top management down to the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that I have really

strong relationships with all the key people in the organization now,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you first come on board you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know people that well and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure what buttons to push all the time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just really, really stronger, just in terms of my grasp of the organization and whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing what and what people need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think people are more comfortable with me, too,â&#x20AC;? he added. As evidence, see a strong understanding and relationship with Gentry to make two changes to take the 200910 Suns back to the playoffs: develop a bench and become a proficient defensive team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a dysfunctional year last year and won 46 games,â&#x20AC;? Kerr said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt like from a chemistry standpoint weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d make a lot of improvement.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all kind of clicked.â&#x20AC;?

The Suns chance at drafting Arizona forward and current Houston Rockets rookie Chase Budinger in the 2009 draft: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken a lot of grief from my coaches about not drafting him. We (were) at 14(th pick); we had Chase 20th on our board. When Chase started to drop â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I think we picked around 48th â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we were shocked that he was dropping. We thought heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be gone by the second round. We tried to trade up in the second round to get him, and Houston ended up getting him.â&#x20AC;?
