UA marches to ‘Take Back the Night’

By Jazmine Woodberry and Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

More than 50 students and supporters marched to speak out and stand up against sexual violence at the annual Take Back the Night event Thursday night on the UA Mall.

The Campus Health Services OASIS program and the Women’s Resource Center have been working with students and Tucson community members since January to organize the event’s speakers, performers and supporters.

“It was started to reclaim (women’s) safety and to take a stand against sexual violence,”said Erin Strange, the violence prevention specialist with the OASIS program.“It’s a really powerful message that we send to the community when we do these events.”

First held in Brussels in 1976,

Take Back the Night events occur on campuses worldwide, to speak out against interpersonal and sexual violence and provide time for people to share personal stories in order to prevent these attacks from happening to anyone else.

“Awareness is power,” said Lori Van Buggenum, program director for the Women’s Resource Center. “The more that we can create that awareness and educate people, the more we can create an environment that one, doesn’t tolerate violence and two, educates people about their risk.”

High school- and college-aged women are four times more likely to be victims of sexual assault than members of the general population. Women are more likely to be assaulted by someone that they know. Out of all assaults, as many as 60 percent go unreported, making the majority of sexual assaults

a “crimes of silence” according to Van Buggenum.

Many groups on campus felt the need to drive home this sentiment.

Several speakers from the AfricanAmerican Committee began the event by addressing violence, especially directed towards black women. For every black woman that reports her rape, at least 15 do not.

“Our mission tonight is twofold: to stifle the silence and to battle sexual and interpersonal violence. We know that the problem exists, we need to enable people to speak,”says Sheronda Jordan, a staff crisis advocate, forensic science coordinator, and supervisor on a rape examiner team.“We can start by simply believing those that speak out.”

Many students came out to the event via previous experiences or MARCH, page 3

Swimsuit Day slides onto campus ROTC

parades student awards

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Students clad in bikinis and board shorts participated in the UA’s first Swimsuit School Day on Thursday.

Event coordinators encouraged students to wear swimsuits to classes and spend their afternoon on the UA Mall.

The event featured music, free Eegees and a large inflatable Slip-N-Dip. Swimsuit School Day was born when marketing sophomore Ross Shanken decided it would be fun to wear swimsuits in celebration of the warm weather.

“I just kind of thought about it one day,” Shanken said.

Shanken created a Facebook event based on the concept. Students were so supportive of the idea that he decided to expand the festivities to the Mall.

The event took about three weeks to organize. The music, Eegees and Slip-N-Dip were all donated.

Shanken was supported in the planning by his friends, who agreed Swimsuit School Day would appeal to UA students.

“We’re in a hot environment, but we’re not close enough to water,” Hutchinson said. “We decided to bring the water to us.”

Shanken thought the event would be a good way for students to relieve stress.

“Finals are coming up. We’re ready for summer,” Shanken said.

Media arts junior Aelynn Heinrichs heard about the event through Facebook and was eager to participate.

“It’s summer! I wanted to start swimming and doing stuff,” Heinrichs said.“I’ve had my swimsuit on all day. I’ve had shorts and a tank top over it, though.”

Shanken was surprised by the high participation rate. He estimates that about fifty people used the Slip-N-Dip during its first hour of availability.

“I’ve seen a lot of swimsuits. We had some sunbathers earlier. It was pretty cool,” Shanken said.

Shanken hopes that Swimsuit School Day will become an annual event.

“Next year, it’s going to be a lot bigger,” Shanken said.

Day of Silence emphasized with photos

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Heritage Hill is often occupied by bands, protestors or evangelists, but Friday, it will become Silent Hill.

Residence Life and the UA Pride Alliance will be hosting a joint event on the UA Mall on Friday to mark the National Day of Silence, a day on which students take a vow of silence to symbolize the silence of lesbian, gay,

bisexual, transsexual and questioning individuals throughout the world.

Residence Life will be hosting an event modeled after the national No H8 Campaign. The campaign was started by professional photographer Adam Bouska in protest of California’s 2008 ballot initiative Proposition 8, which banned same sex-marriage within the state.

“I actually have a friend who goes to another university where she and

her friends had done a similar photo shoot,” said Ashley White, a graduate student of higher education and the graduate community director for residence life. “Seeing the pictures, they took later was really powerful to me, so it made me look at the No H8 campaign website.”

Proponents of Proposition 8 include politicians such as Arizona Senator John McCain and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, religious organizations

like the Catholic Church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, in addition to the ProtectMarriage.com organization, which spearheaded the movement to include Proposition 8 on California ballots.

“I support the efforts of the people of California to recognize marriage as a unique institution between a man and a woman, just as we did in my home

At 5 a.m. Thursday, it was still dark outside, and approximately 100 members of all three ROTC branches marched across Bear Down Field.

The cadets were practicing for their 6 a.m. Joint Services Awards Ceremony, which gave out 34 different types of awards to more than 100 cadets, sergeants and other military personnel at the UA. “These men and women are tomorrow’s leaders,” said Brittney Lopez , midshipman, ceremony narrator and political science senior.

“Their talents and determination will surely afford their every opportunity to rise to the top in the future.”

One of the awards presented was the Daughters of the American Revolution award for ROTC students in the top 25 percent of their class who demonstrate superior qualities of loyalty, dependability, character, military discipline and leadership.

Other honors included the Naval Academy Alumni Association award, Air Force Association Award, and the National Sojourners Award for Americanism.

After the presentation of military awards, Lopez briefed the audience on UA President Robert Shelton’s educational and professional background.

Shelton approached the podium soon after Lopez’s introduction.

“As president of the University of Arizona, I get the opportunity to meet with different student groups and organizations,” Shelton said. “It is always a pleasure and honor to be able to meet with ROTC students.

You are special. You help set us apart from so many other institutions because it is from your ranks that some of the greatest leaders emerge, along with our most committed alumni and most engaged citizens.”

Tyler George, a psychology junior and third year Air Force cadet, believed that the hour-long ceremony went well.

Hydrology junior I just had to ask about your puppy.

Just like the other Corgi guy? There was a guy with a Corgi on Monday. It’s fine, whatever.

So the puppy: How many girls come around trying to love on the puppy?

I left at 4:50 from the UMart.

In 10 minutes, I made it to the front of the (Student Union Memorial Center).

There were literally people with their iPhones … it was like a photo shoot basically.

So basically, you would suggest getting a puppy for single men?

It would lure people in, but you have to be a person of substance to actually keep them engaged after the puppy gets their attention. If you’re an interesting person, who’s also kind of shy, I would suggest getting a puppy. People want to meet people with puppies.

And some people want to steal puppies.

It’s true. That’s actually why I have the leash. The leash isn’t to stop him from running away, it’s to stop people from taking him.

It was a good choice.

There have been three people who picked my puppy up without asking me. Like, kind of started to move in the opposite direction. I don’t know how I feel about that.

That sounds half dirty.

Someone picked your puppy up without asking.

I know; it’s wrong.

What’s your puppy’s name?

Tiberius, named after James T. Kirk.

Is he yours?

Yeah, he’s mine.

How many times have you had him on campus?

I’ve had him on campus, five times, maybe.

And every time you’ve regretted it, because you haven’t been able to get anywhere...

I haven’t been able to get anywhere on time with this dog.

You should just carry him and book it.

You know, I do carry him sometimes, but then even more people stop.

(Girl in background) Oh my gosh.

We’ve been here three minutes and that’s three girls? That’s a good average.

Obama: Americans to Mars within his lifetime CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — President Barack Obama predicted Thursday his new space exploration plans would lead American astronauts to Mars and back in his lifetime, a bold forecast relying on rockets and propulsion still to be imagined and built.

“I expect to be around to see it,”he said of pioneering U.S. trips, first to an asteroid and then on to Mars. He spoke near the historic Kennedy Space Center launch pads that sent the first men to the moon, a blunt rejoinder to critics, including several former astronauts, who contend his planned changes will instead deal a staggering blow to the nation’s

Obama did not predict a Mars landing soon. But he said that by 2025, the nation would have a new spacecraft “designed for long journeys to allow us to begin the firstever crewed missions beyond the moon into deep space.”

“We’ll start by sending astronauts to an asteroid for the first time in history,” he said. “By the mid-2030s, I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth. And a landing on Mars will follow.”

NEW YORK — The NFL is taking Vince Lombardi to Broadway.

For the first time, the league will help produce a Broadway play, its first venture into live theater. The league will serve as a special producing partner of “Lombardi,” which will star Dan Lauria, a regular on the TV show“The Wonder Years”and former college football player and high school coach.

“Lombardi”is scheduled to open Oct. 21 at the Circle in the Square Theatre. It will be directed by Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail.

“Football and Broadway are both iconic American forms of entertainment, and the NFL is proud to bring these two unique and passionate audiences together under one roof,” said Tracy Perlman, NFL vice president of entertainment marketing and promotions.

Vince Lombardi “Lombardi’s charisma and coaching style were legendary — and intensely theatrical. Football fans will learn more about the dramatic private life of the sports hero for whom the Super Bowl trophy is named, and Broadway audiences will be captivated by the story of a family chasing the American dream.”

Although the NFL is not putting up any money for the play, it will promote and market “Lombardi” through NFL Network, nfl.com and its teams, specifically the Green Bay Packers. Lombardi won five NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls, with the Packers.

Lauria, who played at Southern Connecticut State, will be at next week’s draft and will journey to Green Bay at some point this offseason. The actor hopes to “get a sense of what Vince Lombardi meant and continues to mean to the fans, particularly in Green Bay,” said Brian McCarthy, NFL vice president of corporate communications.

The original concept for the play was brought to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell by Tony Ponturo, who was behind Anheuser-Busch’s heavy involvement in sports sponsorship and now runs a sports and entertainment management and marketing company. Ponturo will serve as producer of “Lombardi,” which is based on a book by David Maraniss. Academy Award winner Eric Simonson has written the Broadway adaptation.

The league also is involved with a film project on the Hall of Fame coach that will star Robert De Niro.

“There are few actors who could accurately portray the fire, passion and grit of Lombardi,” said Charles Coplin, NFL vice president of programming,“and we’re thrilled to have Robert De Niro on our team.”

Profs’ textbook pledge will increase buy-backs

Amy Davis, right, an associate professor in the College of Nursing, speaks to Chris Schafer, left, faculty relations coordinator at the UA Bookstore, and Daniel Fitzgibbon, an undergraduate business student, during the Textbook Brunch on the third floor of the Student Union Memorial Center. The event was held to discuss the buy-back system with faculty and ASUA with the goal of keeping students interested in using the bookstore for their class texts.

Earth Day event to exhibit Biosphere 2’s year-long work

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Proactive environmental action is the key to the mission of the UA Biosphere 2, said Biosphere Director Travis Huxman.

“We want people to take action and to do the right thing, and not just because it’s the right thing to do,” Huxman said. “There is an industry behind all of this too, and I don’t think a lot of people realize that.”

The Biosphere 2 will host a series of events on Saturday to demonstrate that point.

The events are part of the Earth Day 2010: Now Generation Festival, being held this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This is the second year the Biosphere has hosted an Earth Day event of this magnitude.

UA students will indeed be heavily involved with the event. The director of external affairs at the Biosphere 2, Hassan Hijazi, estimated that as many as 100 students would volunteer for the six-hour event.

“We want this to be more than participation for students,” Huxman said. “We want them to feel a sense of ownership in all of our Earth Day programs.”

Around 15 student volunteers will be members of Alpha Zeta, a coed fraternity based in the agricultural and life sciences.

The group views Earth Day as a great chance for community service.

“We’re always looking for service events, but sometimes we have a hard time finding events that excite people enough to participate,” said environmental biology

senior and current Alpha Zeta president Megan Schulte. “As soon as our advisor (Assistant Dean of Agriculture Academic Programs Elaine Marchello) brought it up, you could see people were interested, and it just took off from there.”

Alpha Zeta will be doing a variety of things at the Earth Day event, namely helping out with booths and presentations such as the insect discovery and herpetological booths.

“As a service-based group, we’re always looking to help out,” Schulte said. “Most of us have a scientific background and this sounded like something we’d be interested in.”

Other offered activities will include science and art exhibitions, including a science competition for children. There will also be thematic tours of new exhibits and a live sky feed from the Mount Lemmon Sky Center, all set to live music.

One featured exhibit will be a collection of roughly 100 solar panels recently constructed on-site at the Biosphere. The panels are part of an ongoing experiment to determine the feasibility of placing solar panels in areas where they would have the gentlest environmental impact without any loss in performance.

“We look at Earth Day as an opportunity to celebrate the work we’ve done over the year,” said Nathan Allen, an assistant staff scientist and sustainability coordinator at the Biosphere. “The Biosphere does everything from cutting edge research to doing events like these.”

The new solar panels are mounted at a 50-degree angle on geomembranes, the kind that are usually utilized at landfills or mine tailings to prevent dust and water pollution.

“One of the big reasons why we were interested in doing this project is because mines and landfills are areas that have been impacted by development already,” Allen said. “It is a more attractive option to be able to build panels in areas that have already been disturbed rather than disturbing virgin desert to do so.”

Approximately 2,000 people are expected to attend Saturday’s event, an increase from the 1,600 that attended last year. Pricing and ticket information for the event can be found on the Biosphere Web site.

Students hope to raise awareness of all violence

friend recommendations.

Karen Johnston, a Health Promotion and Preventive Services student employee and former OASIS intern, got involved with the event after participating last year.

“I think it’s great for students to really understand this topic,” said Johnston. “It’s something they will run into not only here (on campus) but for the rest of their life.”

Manny Duarte, of the Lambda Theta Phi multicultural fraternity, attended Take Back the Night

for the first time.

“People who see it without having had a personal experience are going to be more aware than they were before attending Taking Back the Night,” Duarte said. “And people who have actually been affected are of course going to have more meaning behind it.”

All over campus, the message behind the event was made clear.

“The more people show up the better,” said Derek Knocke, a psychology and theatre senior involved

in Pride Alliance. Knocke really felt that the music and congregation in the middle of the UA mall were extremely effective in drawing attention.

“It works because it gets people to look over here,” said Knocke. “It’s not just sexual abuse against straight women, but sexual abuse against any person. It can be man-on-man, woman-on-woman, womanon-man, and vice versa. (The event) is about ending the violence, and people need to know that.”

Professors who pledged to submit their next semester textbooks on deadline to increase student buyback opportunities were honored on Thursday.

Daniel Fitzgibbon , a business economics student and academic affairs director for Associated Students of the University of Arizona, hosted the brunch. Five of the 40 professors who made the pledge attended the event.

Each year, professors are asked to submit a list of the textbooks they will use in the following semester.

If professors turn in their booklist

by April 20, the UA Bookstore can immediately add the selected books to the buy-back list, and students can receive more money for their book. If professors fail to notify the Bookstore on time, the UA Bookstore will buy books back at a dramatically reduced price because it is not guaranteed to be used next semester. Compliance by professors also gives students more access to the textbook rental program that is incorporated at the UA Main Library.

“What we’re trying to do is give students greater opportunities,” Schafer said.

The effort was planned last semester by ASUA in collaboration

with several faculty members.

Nearly half of UA professors fail to meet the deadline, one of the worst rates in the nation, according to Schafer. Students must resort to buying textbooks from other sources, often located out of state.

Schafer reminded attendees that UA students, faculty, and the Bookstore are all struggling financially.

Once the Bookstore gets the “late adoption”from professors, they often have to back those same books that UA students sold to third parties, again, for a higher price.

Another part of the agreement is for professors to try to use the same textbook for four consecutive semesters. This would enable the bookstore to know with certainty that it will be needed again.

There are some departments that cannot keep such a promise.

“Any subject that is new and constantly changing is going to need a new edition coming out all the time,” said Amy Davis, a UA associate professor from the College of Nursing who signed the pledge.

Fitzgibbon hopes that professors stick to their statements and try to make a change.

“It’s really just the tip of the iceberg,” said Fitzgibbon. “I’d like it if this could be carried on, and have more faculty members join the effort to turn in their textbook selections to the bookstore by the deadline.”

Out! That’s what she said…

W

hen I was in junior high, the everhilarious “that’s what she said” joke was nonexistent.

Students were sent to the principal’s office or given detention for legitimate offenses. One classmate of mine constantly disrespected our history instructor by calling her by her first name, yelling in her face and stealing money from her purse. Other students received detention for mouthing off to teachers, shouting obscenities, drawing male genitalia on homework assignments, harassing fellow schoolmates and defacing school property.

Times have changed since the late nineties, and everyone has gotten considerably more sensitive.

These sorts of no-nos still lead to Laura E. Donovan detention, as they should, but some Columnist teachers have become much more uptight when it comes to classroom humor and behavior.

The Huffington Post recently published an article called“Punished For Being Awesome? The Most Ridiculous Detention Slips Of All Time.”The story compiled a slideshow of amusing, ridiculous and unnecessary detention slips that students received.

A teacher at Redmond Junior High gave one student detention for saying,“that’s what she said” after another student said,“you have to push it in further.” Sure, this didn’t exactly stimulate scholarly classroom discussion, nor did it reflect true maturity on the student’s part, but it’s an innocuous joke that is certainly not grounds for detention.

No one was hurt, the kid didn’t call anyone a name, and there probably wasn’t much classroom disruption other than a few minutes of laughter. Why punish a student for making the classroom setting a funnier, more exciting place for everyone? Class clowns give other students something to look forward to when heading off to school. Junior high isn’t exactly the highest, happiest point for anybody, and this student was doing his part to make school a little less boring.

There was another pink sheet of paper that justified one student’s detention: “He disrupted class by standing and unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a Superman T-shirt as he announced he was Superman.”This kind of behavior is definitely rude, especially if the teacher was giving a lecture as the student had his comedic outburst. He should have been sent to the office and kicked out of class but not given detention. There was no malice in this act; the student was just trying to be funny and probably spice up the dull classroom atmosphere.

The Huffington Post includes another detention slip that was given out after a student said “that’s was she said”in response to a classmate. The teacher wrote at the bottom of the page,“these inappropriate comments are made too often.”

It’s one thing for a student to use swear words in class, but quite another to make clever, discreet “that’s what she said” jokes. To make a scene about a pre-pubescent teen integrating “that’s what she said” into classroom discussion is a bit extreme, silly and controlling. Middle school students definitely have the ability to be crude and insubordinate, but they should not face severe consequences for this kind of statement.

Junior high school instructors and teachers everywhere should understand that the maturity level of their students will forever be dangerously low. With that, they should let harmless “that’s what she said” comments slide.

If you think about it, “that’s what she said” really shouldn’t be a cultural taboo, especially in this overly sexualized day and age.

The Huffington Post story included a detention slip that was arguably warranted and deserved.

An unnamed student was given detention for receiving oral sex on school property, and this is not okay. It is, however, an example of what should actually land someone detention time, and school administrators should be able to understand that it’s much fouler for a student to give oral sex on campus than to say “that’s what she said” in between giggles.

Instructors, particularly those who teach young teens, have a difficult task at hand, so they should continue punishing the rowdy and callus students who demean others, vandalize school buildings, smoke weed in the restroom and cause actual hysteria. Don’t equate “that’s what she said” jokes to death threats, name-calling, or sexual harassment. Let kids be kids as long as they’re not hurting others.

MAILBAG:

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Preaching, sister

I read your opinion in the Wildcat“Sex, drugs and responsibility,”and I agreed with most of the points you made. I can’t think of anything more disrespectful to real victims of rape and other sexual assaults than girls who falsely “cry rape,” especially since the accusation of being a rapist can follow and hunt a man all his life. Absolutely, women should step up to the plate and own up to their sexual indiscretions.

I don’t deny that there are women who make false claims of being too lubricated so they can shirk responsibility for poor decisions and can end up hurting the men they accuse terribly and sometimes irreversibly.

But it seems to me that you’re saying a woman who choses to drink and put herself in a vulnerable situation is still responsible if and when something bad happens. Alcohol impairs judgment and logical thinking. A person who is drunk can’t be put on the same level of reasoning and accountability as a person who is stone cold sober.

I don’t think it’s fair that a woman should have to constantly monitor and limit herself because, in theory, someone might take advantage of her. You said that if a woman drinks, she should take the proper steps to keep safe, like sticking to trustworthy friends, but those kinds of safety nets aren’t always enough.

Cat scratch

Numerous times in the last few years, I have seen terribly researched, poorly written articles generally devoid of any journalistic merit appearing in the Wildcat. A perfect example is the blatant incrimination of the whole swim team for the alleged crimes of a single former member with little more than hearsay as evidence. Each time, a handful of letters criticizing the Wildcat’s editorial decisions are written and published, and, on rare occasions, a response piece, like Mr. Knauer’s editorial (which really just dodged the criticism) on Tuesday are written. And yet, despite the constant criticism, nothing ever changes! The Wildcat still publishes poorly-written articles, the readers continue to complain, and the editorial staff continues to pay lip service to its readers.

So here’s my question: The Wildcat staff is obviously aware of the problem — why is no visible action ever taken? And if there are behind the scenes actions being taken, why does the journalist quality never improve? I challenge the entire Wildcat staff to do more than just pay lip service. Instead, take action to improve this publication. Here are some ideas: Identify common traits of the articles readers criticize. Develop guidelines for improvement. Act on these guidelines! Publicize your efforts to correct these common shortcomings. Respond in a meaningful way to reader criticism. And, above all, instead of treating the paper like your own personal soapbox, have a little respect for the profession many of you aim to join in a few short years!

I must point out one logical fallacy: Higher educational attainment does not equate to being smarter as this article seems to take for granted.

Anyway, I realize that this is not the point of the article.

Agreed. Matrimonio was very well done. Bravi bravi.

It was a shame that it didn’t sell out. I attended Saturday night, with about a half-full house. Too bad: highly accessible and fun opera, excellent singing and acting, and inexpensive, especially for students. Yet, empty seats.

I wonder if the reason that women “with degrees are almost twice as likely to drink daily” is because those women are miserable because they fell for the feminist myth of not needing men and families and have denied their biological drive to be wives and mothers and are using alcohol as an escape from the pain they feel inside?

5K run to benefit Diamond Center

By Jonathan Prince ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

“It’s just a great sign of military tradition and leadership,” George said. “It’s a good thing.”

George was a recipient of the American Legion Excellence Award and the Military Order of the Purple Heart Award.

“ROTC is one of the best experiences

you can have as well as a great way to learn leadership and dedication while on campus,”George said.

Cadet Douglas Foulk, an Air Force ROTC cadet and history junior, helped organize the ceremony.

“It was awesome, two thumbs up,” Foulk said of the ceremony.

Foulk expressed appreciation for Shelton as the keynote speaker.

“It’s a big deal for us; he’s a strong supporter for ROTC, so we always like to have him out,” Foulk said.

The Joint Services Awards Ceremony is held every academic school year during the spring semester.

Obama: Gay partners should have equal hospital access THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Hospitals that accept Medicare and Medicaid payments must let patients choose which persons, including gay and lesbian partners, can visit them and help make critical health decisions, President Barack Obama said Thursday.

Gay rights advocates hailed the move as a major step toward fairness for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.

“This is a critical step in ending discrimination against LGBT families and ensuring that, in the event of a hospital stay, all Americans have the right to see their loved ones,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

With no fanfare, the White House on Thursday night released a statement

by Obama instructing the Health and Human Services Department to draft rules requiring federally subsidized hospitals to grant all patients the right to designate people who can visit and consult with them at crucial moments.

The designated visitors should have the same rights that immediate family members now enjoy, Obama’s instructions said. It said Medicare-Medicaid hospitals,

which include most of the nation’s facilities, may not deny visitation and consultation privileges on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

The new rules, Obama said, should “guarantee that all patients’ advance directives, such as durable powers of attorney and health care proxies, are respected,” and that patients’ designees be able to“make informed decisions regarding patients’ care.”

Some gay advocacy groups say Obama has moved too slowly to fulfill campaign promises to expand their civil rights. The nation’s top military leaders recently said it is time to end the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that has kept gays from serving openly in the armed services.

The Human Rights Campaign, which backs gay rights, said Obama’s hospital decision was inspired in part by a New York Times article about a lesbian couple in Miami. They were kept apart while one lay dying in a hospital despite having an “advanced health care directive” asking for full visitation rights for each other.

“Discrimination touches every facet of the lives of lesbian, gay,

bisexual and transgender people, including at times of crisis and illness,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese. “The president’s action today will help ensure that the indignities” suffered by the Miami patient and her children will not happen to others.

In his statement, Obama said: “Every day, all across America, patients are denied the kindnesses and caring of a loved one at their sides — whether in a sudden medical emergency or a prolonged hospital stay. Often, a widow or widower with no children is denied the support and comfort of a good friend.”

He added: “Also uniquely affected are gay and lesbian Americans who are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives — unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated.”

Without the expanded visitordesignation rights, Obama said, “all too often, people are made to suffer or even to pass away alone, denied the comfort of companionship in their final moments while a loved one is left worrying and pacing down the hall.”

The top three runners will receive a free gift certificate for a sports massage. Other prizes include pedometers, water bottles, UA gift baskets, T-shirts and other goodies.

The cost of the race is $20.

You can register on the Run for Your Life Web site or at the event on Saturday morning.

Check-in for the event begins at 8 a.m. at the west end of the UA Mall.

Students are encouraged to wear light-colored clothes and dress for a warm day. Water stations are located along the course to keep participants hydrated.

The Student Health Advisory Committee is holding the fourth annual Run for Your Life 5K run/walk on the UA Mall on Saturday.

The course spans most of the UA campus and totals 3.1 miles.

The Student Health Advisory Committee is a student-based group with about 20 members. They work in conjunction with Campus Health Service to create health awareness.

“We’re telling people to get out there, walk, run and be active.

Activity and active lifestyles are extremely important for people our age,” said Maggie Saccomano, a senior physiology major.

About 150 people are expected to show up to the event on Saturday.

“The number has slowly increased since its start in 2007, but this year our numbers did not improve like we hoped it would due to other race events scheduled for the same date ,” said Lyandra Rodriguez , Student Health Advisory Committee co-director.

The Student Health Advisory Committee’s last Run for Your Life fundraiser raised about $2,000. The money raised was donated to different organizations within Tucson. The group is expecting to make another $2,000 this year. Proceeds will benefit the Tucson Community Food Bank and the Diamond Children’s Medical Center.

Proceeds that are donated to Diamond Children’s Medical Center will be used to purchase equipment, building projects, waiting room furniture and anything that benefits children that are being treated.

“We are delighted and honored that we were considered by the university to receive donations,” said

Vivian Fellom, an administrative coordinator at the UMC Foundation.

The Student Health Advisory Committee is helping out the UA 4 Food Campaign by donating a portion of their proceeds to the Tucson Community Food Bank. At the food bank, money will be used towards a children’s nutrition program.

“We are very grateful for the university’s donation,” said Jack Parris, the Tucson Community Food Bank Public Relations Manager.“All of these events help us a great deal with donations over a period of time.”

support each other.”

Though the No H8 Campaign is a political movement, White stressed that the event is meant to show solidarity with the UA Pride Alliance, not to target specific legislation.

“This is not a left-right thing,” said Hannah Lozon, the ccoordinator of social justice education for Residence Life. “This is just so that people have a way to voice their opinions, and to do so silently.”

The shoot will begin at 11:38 a.m. on the Mall and conclude at 1:00 p.m.

According to White, the start time signifies the 1,138 legal rights afforded to heterosexual married couples but not to homosexuals in the U.S.

POLICEBEAT

By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Beer me … Oh, hello Officer

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol Sunday at 2:08 a.m. when he noticed four men at the intersection of Tyndall Avenue and Fourth Street.

The officer noticed that one of the men was bending down, opening an 18-pack of Keystone beer.

After the officer saw him distribute some of the beer to two men standing with him, the officer stopped and asked him for identification.

The man was identified as over 21 years old, but the other two men — to whom the beer was handed — were underage.

One of the men with a beer in his hand had an odor of alcohol on his breath and red watery eyes. The man told the officer that he had been drinking a couple of beers at a party off campus.

The man who had passed out the beer was cited and released for furnishing liquor to a minor. The underage man was cited and released for minor in possession.

A UAPD officer was on patrol on Speedway Boulevard on April 7 at 11:30 p.m. when he noticed three men and a woman standing by the bus stop at 4055 E. Speedway Blvd. As the officer drove near the bus stop, one of the men took a couple steps toward the road and threw an orange object at the windshield of the patrol car.

The officer reported that the object hit the windshield and rolled over the top of the vehicle. There was also another car immediately next to his in the middle lane and pedestrians near where the object hit.

The officer turned the patrol around, and, as he got out of the car to speak with the man, the man started yelling, “Oh, man that was stupid, I really fucked up and shouldn’t have thrown that at you. I guess I could have caused an accident.”

The officer asked the man if he knew he was throwing the object at a police car, and he said that he didn’t know because the police SUV does not look like a “normal” police car.

The officer got the object from the street and saw that it was a piece of paper folded into the shape of an airplane.

The officer could also smell alcohol on the man and noticed slurred speech. The man said he drank 10 beers at a bar near his home.

He also stated that he got the piece of paper from the Lucky Strike bowling alley at 4025 E. Speedway Blvd. and then folded into an airplane. He kept telling the officer that he didn’t know he was throwing anything at a police car and that what he did was stupid and unsafe.

The man was arrested for criminal littering for throwing trash into a public roadway and criminal nuisance for recklessly creating a condition that endangered the safety of others.

The man was cited and released on scene, and a taxi was called for the group.

The orange paper airplane was placed into property as evidence.

Too hot? Take a swim

A UAPD officer arrived to the Hillenbrand Pool at 1827 E. Enke Drive on Sunday at 9:28 a.m. after UA employees reported a suspicious person in the area.

An employee working a swim competition at the pool told the officer a swimmer had told him a homeless-looking man jumped the brick fence around the pool, stripped down to his underwear and began swimming.

The employee told the officer that he asked the man to leave the area several times, but he refused. They then decided to walk behind the man, forcing him to leave, but did not use physical force to do so.

As the man was walking away, he turned to one of the employees and said, “You better watch your back, I’m going to get my shotgun.”

The employee told the officer that he didn’t know if the man was being serious about the gun, but since it was his first time managing a swim meet on his own, he said, “A man with a gun is more than I can handle.”

Another officer found the man walking through the Sam Hughes neighborhood. The man said he felt hot and decided to go swimming in the pool to cool down.

After 20 minutes of swimming, the man said employees started shouting at him to get out of the pool.

He stated he thought they might use physical force on him, so he threatened them with a shotgun.

The man was arrested for making threats and intimidations and for second-degree trespassing and disorderly conduct. He was transported to Pima County Jail.

Some girls just can’t handle their beer bongs

A UAPD officer was on patrol on First Street on April 7 at 12:52 a.m. when he saw a blue Honda Civic driving the opposite direction on a one-way street.

When the officer spoke with the driver, he could smell alcohol coming from inside the vehicle.

The officer determined the smell was not coming from the driver but noticed a woman in the back seat with bloodshot eyes.

The woman told the officer that she was 20 years old and had “drank a couple of beer bongs at a house party off campus.”

When the officer asked the woman to get out of the car, she had to use both doorframes to pull herself out of the car. Once out of the car, she fell backwards against the car and had to use it as support.

The woman was identified by a California driver’s license and had slurred speech. She could not stand without swaying back and forth about 6 inches.

She stated that beer was readily available at the party but would not say where the house was.

The woman was cited and released for minor in possession. A Code of Conduct referral was also completed for the woman.

weekend Wildlife Second City: Close but no Chicago

arizona daily wildcat • friday, april 16, 2010 •

By Christy Delehanty Arizona Daily Wildcat In Chicago, The Second City comedy troupe’s shows are a must see for out-of-towners and a common choice for the more extravagant local birthday parties and dates. Traditionally poking fun at pop culture and current events a la The Onion and incorporating local lore for an inside joke-type feel (think Rod Blagojevich), The Second City is a show that literally makes its name spitting faux-musical and improv routines to a local — or wannabe local — crowd.

It’s odd, then, that the troupe would, as the ads suggest,“Do Arizona, or Close but No Saguaro.”Though there is no shortage of material in any state, much less ours, the actors’ unfamiliarity with the Arizonan entities that they skewer is what waters down the show.

As their program proclaims, in preparation for their three-week stint in Tucson, followed by two in Phoenix, “the writers of The Second City spent several days in Tucson and Phoenix to immerse themselves in all things Arizonan.”And though in the later parts of the show — jabs at golfing, tourists and car door oven mitts — elicited momentary chuckles, it was evident that the writers were primarily playing on stereotypes, not experience.

That said, the opening line,“It’s our way of saying ‘Hello!’”as well as the selfawareness embedded in the show’s title, provided a slight but necessary disclaimer and allowed the audience to take the show as it is: a fast-paced, humorous briefing on the Grand Canyon State.

While the show is a summary of stereotypes held perhaps by those tourists so ridiculed within it, the entertainment value of dangerous

Holy holies in ‘Look! It’s Jesus!’

By Kim Kotel Arizona Daily Wildcat

“Look! It’s Jesus!” Doesn’t it make you just want to turn your head back and forth wildly, yelling “Where?! Where?!” Right there — on the piece of toast! Oh yes, thank Chronicle Books for that glorious holographic transformation from Wonderbread to miracle-toast with a mere flick of the wrist on the front cover. “Look! It’s Jesus!” is a compilation of un-tamperedwith images that were discovered inhabiting the most ordinary of ordinary objects and places. For indulgence’s sake: a water-stained piece of plaster.

But as hammy as the book may seem, its authors Harry and Sandra Choron aren’t trying to make a joke. They highlight Moses, Joan of Arc, Francis of Assisi, Bernadette Soubirous — some of the more easily recognizable religious believers who ran into the big man upstairs while down here on Earth.

No, the Chorons aren’t promising

a one-on-one meeting to every person that opens the book — just 61 miniature miracle portraits of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, Buddha, Mother Teresa and Joseph in the strangest places.

The promised “detailed descriptions of the discoveries” only occasionally make hearty paragraphs, filling a quarter of the page, and most of them follow the same impulsive “Look!

It’s ___!” reaction with the only noticeable changes being the location of discovery, the discoverer and what pray tell, they were doing.

But really, the book’s about the images, and they are quite fun.

After flipping through “Look! It’s Jesus!” you probably won’t be able to eat a potato chip again without scrutinizing it for ancient celebrities.

There may be a few too many wood-Marys and wood-Jesuses, but a majority of the images are distinctive, popping up on tortillas, baseballs, pierogis, ashtrays, beehives and the like.

The best? Rotting Grape Virgin Mary, Nun Bun and Chicken Breast Jesus.

You might not know it, but Krishna Das is a superstar — of the spiritual, yogic world, at least. With 10 albums spanning more than a decade and a long history of world tours, Das is arguably the token rock star of Kirtan chanting in the U.S. And with his new album, Heart As Wide As The World, he’s likely to maintain that reputation.

Kirtan chanting is an ancient Indian tradition that involves a call-and-response style of participatory music. The performer of Kirtan, along with an instrumental

B

accompaniment, sings a string of lines devoted to a certain chant, and the audience repeats.

This music must be listened to with a certain critical hat. It can’t be judged with the regular rock-pop critical lens.

Das is following an entirely different tradition. However, it is interesting how he integrates Western sound with Kirtan chant. As someone who has done yoga and heard a bit of chanting, I can safely say Heart As Wide As The World is different from other albums

by Das. Most of his albums contain a wide array of instruments, ranging from traditional Indian instruments to the occasional bass or violin. This album

is different.

Starting with the track “My Foolish Heart / Bhaja Govindam,” Das sets with a new sound palette for his KRISHNA, page 14

A successful show, despite its occasional impersonality, “The Second City Does Arizona” definitely earns its saguaro.

When John Lindsay, a 21 year-old computer science senior at Penn State, gets drunk, he doesn’t waste time singing karaoke or hitting on freshmen.

Instead, he prowls online classified ads looking for victims.

As the evil genius behind DontEvenReply.com, Lindsay has turned what was once a pastime into an Internet phenomenon. Lindsay essentially stalks online classified ads, such as Craigslist, looking for opportunities to irritate the hell out of people. Sometimes he answers ads, other times he creates a post to let the idiots come to him.

Not quite as popular as its other timewasting counterparts TextsFromLastNight or FMyLife, the site has amassed quite the sturdy fan base since its inception in June 2009.

With more than 2.5 million visits a month, why is it so popular?

It is the age-old game of finding stupid people and making fun of them in a new medium?

While the Web site isn’t anything flashy — a fairly boring white and grey background — Lindsay’s new book,“Emails from an A**Hole,”certainly is. Organized into sections like automotive sales, employment opportunities and items wanted, Lindsay picks the absolute best of the Web site for your reading pleasure.

So you need your Little League team sponsored? How about having Barely Legal Super Sluts pay for the jerseys?

You said you are a model? How about posing covered in cow manure for $1,000? A post for cheap paintball gear?

He has an excellent 12-inch rubber band for $49.99.

Though the responses to Lindsay’s outrageousness are fairly consistent (generally a lot of swearing), the funniest parts of the book stem from his endless variety of characters. From the ex-Marine babysitter to the office assistant who can’t spell, Lindsay can effortlessly manipulate a simple ad into a consumer nightmare.

With the tenacity of a virgin hounding a hot girl at a party, Lindsay doesn’t back down. His encounters are not just one-liners but ever increasing ridiculous conversations until the inevitable“f*ck you!”

Both“Emails from an A**Hole”and DontEvenReply.com have the randomness of a prank call combined with the gullibility element of “Punk’d.”It’s a good book for lying around the house.You pick it up, you set it down.

‘Party Thru College’ might be funny after a few kegstands

By Zachary Smith Arizona Daily Wildcat In college, your teaching assistant is going to be foreign. If you drink alcohol, girls are going to look hotter.

A degree in physical education will one day be worthless.

These are the type of cutting edge jokes in comedian Dennis Bruce’s debut book“Party Thru College.” Perplexingly awarded the honor of Best Books Finalist by USA Book News,“Party” could not elicit a laugh from a group of stoned freshmen. It features humor so generic and overused as to be offensive to a college student.

Bruce, a member of Phi Beta Kappa — an honor society, not sex factory — and honors graduate of Penn State, suggests early in the text that his book is a satire. That is a big word to attach to what is essentially a picture book. When

I think of satire, I think of Alexander Pope and Jonathan Swift, luminaries of the genre who viciously lampooned society. Conversely, Bruce deals with such profound issues as how to score with a sorority girl — tell her your name — while writing on a third-grade reading level. If I fell down an empty elevator shaft onto my face, this book would be no more difficult to comprehend and no funnier.

However, the larger problem with Bruce’s beer-first, sexsecond, naptime-third approach to college life is that it feels staler than a keg of Natty Light on Tuesday afternoon. Humor does not always have to be written in a highbrow

manner, I get that. But if you’ve seen “Animal House” or visit College Humor’s Web site, Bruce’s quips come off as banal at best. By the third week of a college education, every student has heard that frat parties are wild orgies and that they should avoid a science degree in favor of something simpler such as philosophy. These suggestions aren’t jokes and they aren’t original.

The rule of comedy is: unless you are bringing something to the table, don’t come to dinner. The reason “Animal House” continues to be a classic is because the characters party like champions in that movie. They party in ways most college kids

will never come close to, whereas Bruce’s advice would seem tame to high schoolers.

Do people really think that students who want to party need a guidebook — or even want one? And do people who don’t party have a desire to read a third-party account on the social scene of beer guzzling? I’m confused who the “how-to party” book is meant to connect with.

Nobody needs a map to find fun in college. If people want to party, they will find a house with a bathtub full of High Life. If they want to hotbox their car and order the entire menu at Taco Bell, they will succeed. You name it, you can find it on a college campus. College makes you Tony Montana — the world is yours. The last thing anyone should be doing in college is reading about how much fun college can be.

College is an opportunity for young

adults to learn what type of lifestyle they want. Going to college is the first step to personal freedom for most students.

It is the first time living away from their parents, the first time having a strange roommate and the first time where every night can be a party. More than anything else, college is a blank slate.

It’s like a rebirth into a world where you truly control your fate, so reading about the archetypes of college life only blurs the beauty of such freedom.

Don’t read this book. Drink a magnum jug of Carlo Rossi and drunk-text every single contact in your phonebook instead. That is way more collegiate than this book ever will be.

Sweeping away defeat Softball to open Pac-10 play, regroup at home against Stanford

By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat The No. 3 Arizona softball team, playing in an uncharacteristically flat fashion, were swept by the No. 1 Washington Huskies last weekend. It was the first time the Wildcats were swept by one team since 2008 against the ASU Sun Devils, who went on to win their first NCAA softball title.

Back at home with the Hillenbrand Stadium crowd behind them and the No. 10 Stanford Cardinal (30-6, 4-2 Pacific 10 Conference) on deck, the Wildcats (32-7, 2-4) will focus on three things to get back on track:

Finding their swagger The Wildcats simply didn’t compete like a team with NCAA Championship aspirations should.

“We just got beat,” head coach Mike Candrea said.“I just don’t think we performed with a lot of confidence.”

Facing Husky ace and reigning NCAA Player of the Year Danielle Lawrie last week, Arizona was intimidated by the senior’s accolades rather than her performance.

“I think a lot of it was Danielle Lawrie,” Candrea said. “She’s a great pitcher, but I think we gave her too much credit.”

The Wildcats will face a younger pitching staff this week, including Stanford running back Toby Gerhart’s sister, freshman Teagan Gerhart (22-5). She touts a 1.58 ERA. Playing against young pitchers could help the Arizona batters, who struck out a total of 39 times against Lawrie, gain confidence, especially with the crowd and thin Tucson air working to the Wildcats’ advantage.

“We just need to come out against Stanford and start getting on a roll,”Candrea said.“The Pac-10 presents a challenge every week.

“The mental side of the game is really in the hand of the beholder so (the players have) got to do their part to get where they need to be.”

Remembering to forget Arizona let defensive mistakes and Washington hits snowball. To use a foortall analogy, it couldn’t hurt to develop a cornerback’s mentality.

“They scored a run and we couldn’t put a stop on it, and that’s what we need to do,” said freshman ace Kenzie Fowler. “We didn’t have a lot of short term memory.”

Fowler (21-5), who saw her ERA jump from 0.92 to 1.23 after the weekend, struggled for the first time during her freshman campaign but Candrea wasn’t worried.

Past Arizona pitching legends like Jennie Finch and Alicia Hollowell all went through rough times, he said.

“She’ll be stronger for it,” Candrea said.

Overall, Fowler’s assessment was about focus, not fundamentals. Team-wide, that includes keeping composure when things go the opponent’s way.

“I don’t think we competed as hard as we could,” Fowler said.

She added that forgetting about the Washington series will help the team move forward.

“I was disappointed with my whole performance,” Fowler said.“I just have to let it go. Next time I’m going to go out, I’m going to compete harder.”

Left fielder Brittany Lastrapes sends the ball back into the infield of Hillenbrand Stadium during the Wildcats’ last home series, a two-game sweep of the UTEP Miners on April 7. Coming off a sweep by No. 1 Washington, Arizona will try to gain momentum against Stanford at home, beginning tonight.

Opponent Analysis

Defense Stanford’s forte

Execution and adjustments A defensive miscue in the third inning of Game 1 of the Washington series ultimately decided the Wildcats’ fate.

An error by senior leader K’Lee Arredondo allowed a Husky runner to put Washington up 2-0 and Arizona never recovered, losing 2-1 at Washington.

But while that one play might have made the numeric difference, the Wildcats couldn’t adjust to Lawrie to take the lead.

“Well, we just got outplayed,”Candrea said.

“We just offensively couldn’t get anything going, (we) fumbled a little bit defensively.”

It was a hard lesson for the team, which had been beating up on opponents consistently early in the season, to learn. “(We) just have to learn how to adjust to different situations,” Fowler said. “There’s not going to be the same game every game.

There’s going to be things you have to work with and learn how to deal with it.”

By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat

Breaking down the Cardinal No. 10 Stanford enters the threegame series with a 30-6, 4-2 Pacific 10 Conference record, good for a tie for third place in the conference.

The Cardinal is coming off a loss at Oregon State, which snapped a three game winning streak extending back to April 6. Like Arizona, Stanford will throw a freshman ace in the circle — Teagan Gerhart who is sporting a 1.58 ERA and a 22-5 record this season.

In the circle Gerhart has 169 strikeouts in

185.2 innings and opponents are hitting just .177 on the season. In her last outing, Gerhart gave up seven runs on 10 hits in 5.2 innings.

Arizona’s own freshman ace, Kenzie Fowler, also struggled in her last outing, allowing nine runs off eight hits in 5.1 innings. Compared with Fowler’s 1.23 ERA, 205 strikeouts in 148 innings pitched and 21-5 record, the match will be even in the circle for both teams.

Up there The Cardinal ranks in the top-30 in six statistical categories with its highest ranking at eighth in winloss percentage (.833) and fielding

percentage (.976). The fielding percentage leads all Pac-10 schools.

Stanford ranks 21st in batting percentage (.391) and 17th in ERA (1.72). There is only one pitcher on the Cardinal’s rotation with an ERA over 2.00, but they have five players batting over .300.

Defense comes first Stanford has recorded a shutout in 17 of its 30 wins this season, including seven run-ruled shortened games. Eleven of the 30 wins were curtailed by the eight-after-five run rule. Senior catcher Rosey Neill is the two-time Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year. She has recorded

1,563 outs as well as a .992 career fielding percentage.

Last meeting Arizona last met with the No. 10 Stanford Cardinal in the Super Regionals on the way to last year’s NCAA Women’s College Women’s World Series. Arizona took the series on a Game 3, 6-5 victory. Former pitcher Lindsey Sisk struck out 14 Cardinal batters on the way to the win that sent Arizona to its 21st consecutive College World Series. The all-time series record is 47-8-1 with the Wildcats taking the commanding lead. Stanford is 3-20 over the last 20 seasons in Tucson.

TriCats seek top-10 finish at nationals

By Jaime Valenzuela Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona Triathlon Club, better known as the TriCats, is back at the USA Triathlon Collegiate National Championships in hopes of improving upon last year’s 12th-place finish.

“We’re pretty excited,” said club president Matt Ward. “Everybody’s been working really hard this year and improving from last year. I think we’re going to have a really good showing (at nationals).”

Over 100 schools will be competing, and over 1,000 student-athletes are

expected to be on hand in Lubbock, Texas, on Saturday.

Thirteen members of the TriCats — seven men and six women — will be competing in the nationals race, while 10 other TriCats will compete in a sprint race held separately.

Ward said that the strength of this year’s team lies in its depth and believes that if the team performs to its capabilities, a top-10 finish is possible. “(A top-10 finish is) our goal,” he said. “It’s what we set out to do at the beginning of the year.”

While the team’s depth is good, both the men and women have their

weaknesses. The team will try to combat those weaknesses with strong performances in what they do best.

“I think the men will do the most damage on the bike,”said sophomore Neil Segel, who joined the club before official practices began his freshman year. “We have a really good cycling community, and we’ve taken advantage of that over the year. The women will be huge in swim.

They’re going to be some of the fastest.”

The TriCats will know some of their competition, as they competed against several teams earlier this year at the Mountain Collegiate Triathlon Conference Championships at the

Lake Havasu Triathlon. The women placed third overall, and the men placed seventh overall in the collegiate races.

The weather forecast is not promising for the race. As of yesterday, there was a 60 percent chance of thunder showers in Lubbock, according to weather.com.

The TriCats, however, are not unfamiliar with rainy competitions. Earlier this year, the team competed in the rain during the TriCats Polar Splash and Dash Aquathlon and the Desert Classic Duathlon and “did really well.”

Segel and his teammates will compete no matter the weather conditions.

“We’ll push through (the weather),”

Segel said. “It’ll be more epic, that’s for sure.”

For the past three weeks, head coach Brian Grasky has had the team on a taper to conserve its strength for nationals. Segel has done as much as 25 hours of training some weeks, but was limited to five hours this week.

The TriCats left for nationals on Thursday, and the excitement of the team was at a high.

“Each one of our hearts is pounding,” Segel said.“Our president, (Matt Ward), and vice president, (Michael Shufeldt), had their speeches ready. They’re going to be epic. We’re all really pumped.”

M-tennis wraps up regular season at home

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After a historic upset over UCLA last weekend, the No. 35 Arizona men’s tennis team will finish out the regular season at home, taking on the No. 48 Boise State Broncos at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center on Sunday.

The Wildcats (13-19, 2-4 Pacific 10 Conference) managed to beat the Bruins for the first time in 75 meetings. They’ll have to carry that winning energy against a tenacious Broncos (16-9, 4-1 Western Athletic Conference) squad.

“We were all excited about the UCLA win, and I think we have a lot of momentum and definitely have a good vibe as a team right now,” said Arizona head coach Tad Berkowitz. “Boise State presents a whole new challenge. They’re a good team that’s well coached, and they’re definitely going to be ready to play against us.”

Like Arizona, Boise State also brings momentum into the contest. And after a pair of solid wins last weekend, the Broncos managed to move one spot up in the ITA rankings.

In singles action last weekend, the Wildcats managed to come together and attack the Bruins.

Arizona junior Jay Goldman, who until last weekend was struggling with his game, managed to regroup and beat No. 52 Matt Brooklyn.

“It was nice to see Jay gaining some confidence,” Berkowitz said. “He’s played some tough matches and has

had some really heavy competition, so it’s nice to see him step up and have a good win.”

Broncos’ sophomore James Meredith, the No. 42 singles player in the country, will be the game changer for Boise State.

For the Wildcats, the biggest win of the season has undoubtedly given Arizona’s men the most momentum of the season, and even the players who lost against UCLA can still be proud of their team’s effort.

In their last regular season match donning the cardinal and navy, seniors Andres Arango, Ravid Hazi and Pat Metham are looking to give the Arizona faithful a fond farewell.

“You always want to finish on a high note, and you always want to go into the postseason with confidence and momentum,” Berkowitz said. “We’re just going to treat it like a whole new day and look to have the same energy and passion as last weekend.”

Women looking to regroup for regular season finale Returning home from a difficult road trip to Los Angeles, the No. 55 Arizona women’s tennis team is looking for a win in its final matches of the season against the No. 54 Sacramento State University Hornets and the No. 27 ASU Sun Devils in Tucson this weekend.

The Wildcats (12-8, 1-6 Pacific 10 Conference) have lost 14 straight points, with only one win. Arizona will come out gunning on Friday against the

Hornets (16-5, 7-0 Big Sky Conference) and Saturday against the Sun Devils (12-5, 4-3).

“Sac State and ASU are great teams, but we can beat them if we all step up,” Arizona head coach Vicky Maes said.

The Hornets come into this weekend with 65 straight conference victories, and although the Big Sky is not nearly the conference that the Pac-10 is, the Hornets still have an incredible amount of momentum to face the Wildcats.

“We have gone back and forth with Sac State in the past few years,” Maes said. “We know we will have to play them hard to get the win.”

Like Arizona, the Sun Devils will be licking their wounds following a pair of losses to USC and UCLA over the weekend. However, unlike the Wildcats, they were able to take a few points from the Southern California schools.

“ASU has certainly achieved some remarkable results this year,” Maes said.“But going into a rivalry match like that, anything can happen.”

The Arizona’s answers to the power of Sac State and ASU will be singles players No. 107 Natasha Marks and No. 124 Sarah Landsman, who, despite their performances last weekend, will be aiming for redemption victories in their last regular season contests.

“We had a rough time in LA but we are looking forward to closing out the season on a high note,” Maes said. “We have played our best tennis at home this year, and we hope to rebound with two solid matches.”

Junior second baseman Bryce Ortega, right, makes the catch at second as freshman shortstop Alex Mejia watches in Arizona’s March 7 win against California State University, Fullerton, at Sancet Stadium. The Wildcats face a pesky Washington State team that knocked off No. 1 ASU a week ago.

Baseball returns home to take on Cougars

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

After playing its last seven games on the road, the No. 21 Arizona baseball team returns to Sancet Stadium this weekend to host the red-hot Washington State Cougars in a threegame series. beginning tonight at 6 The Wildcats (23-9, 4-5 Pacific 10 Conference) have bounced back from a four-game losing streak nicely, winning three of their last four, but Wazzou (19-11, 3-3) made a big splash in the Pac-10 last weekend when it knocked off No. 1 ASU, taking two of three games from the Sun Devils in Pullman. “They’re on a high because they beat ASU. Washington State’s always good,� said junior second baseman Bryce Ortega, who is questionable for the series due to a back injury.

“You can’t take (ASU) lightly at all,�

Ortega added.“They’re scrappy.�

WSU will be a tough out, but Arizona has some confidence of its own, especially on the mound.

Sophomore starter Kyle Simon (5-2, 2.93 ERA) broke out in his last start against Washington, during which he went the distance, and in nine innings of work, allowed only one run on three hits.

With Simon’s emergence and the continual dominance of freshman ace Kurt Heyer (5-0, 2.16 ERA), the Wildcats now boast two potential No. 1 arms on consecutive nights. “I thought Simon was going to be our Friday-night guy to start off the season, but Kurt took that spot,� said senior first baseman Rafael Valenzuela. “I’m more than OK with that because (Heyer’s) done a good job, but if Simon

Bandy named to Johnny Bench Award watch list Arizona sophomore catcher Jett Bandy (.438 batting average) was one of nine players named to the official Johnny Bench Award watch list on Wednesday.

The award is given to the nation’s top catcher each year. keeps pitching well that means we’ve got two No. 1s back-to-back, and that gives us a good chance to win two nights in a row.�

When the 6-foot-5, lanky Simon is on his game, the Heyer-Simon duo is as good as it gets in the Pac-10, which is very encouraging to head coach Andy Lopez. “If you can (have two good starters

in a row) on a weekend, you feel pretty good about your chances,� Lopez said. “Kyle’s gotten better which is good. If there’s a right time to get hot, it’s now.�

The Wildcats will start Heyer on Friday, Simon on Saturday and sophomore lefty Bryce Bandilla on Sunday. Bandilla had a few encouraging starts, but a rough outing in a 10-2 loss against Washington last weekend has him on thin ice of sorts.

But if he can be a serviceable starter this weekend, Bandilla can solidify himself as the Sunday guy.

All Lopez wants from Bandilla is “a clean five, six innings. Nothing special, nothing spectacular, just five or six clean innings.�

The pitching staff is shaping up for the Wildcats, but they still aren’t pleased with their current standing — No. 7 in the Pac-10.

“Judging by our record, we’re not very happy right now,�Valenzuela said. “We should be at the top, and that’s where we’re trying to be.�

The Pac-10 is undoubtedly one of college baseball’s toughest conferences, but Arizona feels that it can be amongst the cream of the crop. “I think we’re right up there with the ASUs and the UCLAs,� Ortega said. “We’ve got the players, we’ve got the talent, so I think it’s going to be real competitive when we play all of the top teams.�

But before the Wildcats can prove their worth against the conference’s best, they need to take care of Washington State at home. “If we can go out there against Washington State and have a good showing,� Ortega said, �it will really give us a lot of confidence.�

Ortega’s back still not healthy Junior second baseman Bryce Ortega only missed one game in his first two seasons with Arizona, but the usually durable infielder has been limited by a back injury for the better part of a month, causing him to miss four games.

Ortega visited an orthopedic doctor on Thursday and remains game-time decision for Friday’s game against Washington State.

“I don’t know. It’s still up in the air,� Ortega said of his status. “It feels better but not great.�

The doctors haven’t been able to give an exact diagnosis of the injury. They did speculate that it might be an “anural tear� in one of his disks, but that was only based off of certain stretches that hurt him rather than an X-ray or MRI. No restrictions have been placed on Ortega, but

the pain has been too much to bear for the reigning First Team All-Pac-10 member. “It’s pretty much my pain tolerance whether I can play or not,� Ortega said. “They can’t pinpoint (the exact injury), but it’s just been hurting me enough not to play. That takes a lot because I would play in most situations.�

Ortega said that he can barely swing right now,

and his range in the field is a little limited. He was feeling better after his back was cracked by the doctors on Thursday. “I like having him out there. He’s outstanding ‌ he really does a good job defensively and gives us a lot of stability,â€? said head coach Andy Lopez. “I think we’re a better team when he’s playing defense.

KRISHNA

Album has good ‘Heart’

album. Usually performed in Sankrit, these chants include English, something refreshing and accessible for the casual Kirtan listener.

Moreover, the album contains more varied instrumentation, including guitar, bass, steel guitar and keyboard. It’s almost rock ‘n’ roll, strangely. And while one might think it’s cliché, Das’s music is peaceful — and for its intended audience, totally fresh and exciting.

To understand Das’s album, you have to be in the right frame of mind. Think: You just finished a tiring, but

rewarding, set of music, and your teacher flips on some Kirtan chanting. Hearing tracks like “Sita Ram” or “Heart as Wide as The World / Shree Ram Jai Ram” would put you in a good mood whether you listen to spiritual music or not.

That’s the fascinating thing about Das. He’s managed to take a highly Eastern tradition and not only make it accessible to Westeners, but also integrate their sounds with it.

So while most people might not hear his music, those who do are in for a relaxing treat — no matter what you believe, it’s a peaceful, joyous listen.

‘Iron Man: Extremis’ sees action in Marvel’s new motion comic

By Steven Kwan Arizona Daily Wildcat Marvel Entertainment premieres its third motion comic “Iron Man: Extremis” today as part of its Marvel Knights Animation lineup.

Terrorists steal and inject themselves with a bioengineered serum called Extremis. One of them transforms into a human-machine hybrid strong enough to challenge Tony Stark and his Iron Man armor. Stark must not only confront this new threat but also his seeming failure to improve the world with research funded by his company.

“Tony constantly questions himself (about) what his role is as Iron Man or as CEO of Stark Industries, or just his general role as a human being in the world and what he should be doing in his life,” said Ruwan Jayatilleke, senior vice president for development & planning, print, animation and digital media at Marvel Entertainment.

The original comic book by writer Warren Ellis and artist Adi Granov recasts Tony Stark’s origin story for the 21st century and was used in the first “Iron Man” movie. As lead producer for “Iron Man: Extremis,” Jayatilleke was aware of the strong impression the movie had on its audiences.

“Robert Downey Jr. owns the voice, look … and basically lives and breathes Tony Stark/Iron Man. Being able to cast an actor who can evoke those sorts of feelings but

“Astonishing X-Men” and “Spider-Woman” with DVDs of their respective motion comic, Jayatilleke said. The company also plans to expand its efforts in the relatively new field of motion comics. ”If we’re going to go into (making motion comics), we want to have a definitive role in defining it. We definitely didn’t want to wait on the sidelines for a few years and see how it played out — and then come in and play by someone else’s rules,” Jayatilleke said.

Like other media companies, Marvel Entertainment has to compete for the eyes and ears of an audience accustomed to multimedia content, whether it’s a TV episode on Hulu.com or a podcast through iTunes. So why would anyone consider watching “Iron Man: Extremis” rather than just reading the comic books or waiting for “Iron Man 2” movie?

“If someone sits there and really watches the first episode, they’ll definitely get an immersive experience in who Tony Stark is and the challenges of being Iron Man in this … society that is overly reliant on technology,” Jayatilleke said.

The first episode of“Iron Man: Extremis”is available today for download through iTunes, Xbox Live and Zune. It is intended for mature audiences. Visit http://marvel.com/extremis/ to watch each episode and to see a complete release schedule.

still make this project very distinct and unique from the ‘Iron Man,’‘Iron Man 2’ movie experiences is a challenge all in itself,” he said.“But I think the actor DJ Tanner did a really good job of getting that breadth and width of the character and also making sure he added his own … personality to the Tony Stark character.”

Similar to its first two motion comic projects, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev’s “Spider-Woman” and Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s “Astonishing X-Men,” Marvel uses animation, special effects, sound, music and voice acting to recreate the original comic book and attract a mobile video audience.

“It is a challenge making sure that this project not only honors the work that (Ellis and Granov) did but enhances it as well and gives a different entertainment experience. … We’ve been really lucky in having great source material,“ Jayatilleke said.

“We definitely could have gone with a less full, less robust approach to it and phoned it in,” he added. “But I think part of creating this motion comic is to make sure that (each part) of the project was as full and rich as any other aspect of the motion comic.”

In addition to releasing motion comics through iTunes and Xbox Live for the first time, Marvel Entertainment plans to reprint — later this year — hardcover editions of
