‘IT’S JUST HEARTBREAKING’
Fraternities struggle with hazing allegations ALISON DORF Arizona Daily Wildcat
Despite anti-hazing educational efforts by the UA, four fraternities have lost recognition over the last 15 months. In January 2012, Phi Kappa Psi lost recognition after repeated instances of hazing over a period of time, according to a media statement. Next was Delta Chi in April 2012, Tau Kappa Epsilon in August 2012 and most recently, Pi Kappa Phi last month. “We’re seeing persistent reports of hazing, regularly investigating kind of the same things, and so … if we keep seeing the same thing happening, it’s more likely than not that there’s high risk behavior,” said Chrissy Lieberman, associate dean of students. “If something then happens and I have the knowledge that high risk behavior was … pervasive in that organization, not only is that putting the president of the fraternity at huge risk, it’s also putting the university as a whole, because they’re affiliated with us.” Each year during both fall and spring recruitment informational

athy Stoehr was about 10 seconds away from crossing the Boston Marathon finish line when an explosion went off, followed almost immediately by a second blast. Stoehr, a doctoral candidate in the UA College of Education, was running her ninth consecutive marathon in Boston. As she neared the finish line, she already felt wiped out physically and mentally, she said. The first two explosions came around 2:50 p.m., blowing two spectators onto the course. “They were just in really, really tough shape, just lying there on the street,” Stoehr said. “I just keep seeing them in my mind, blown by sheer force onto the course. I just keep thinking of them and wondering how they’re doing, how their families are doing and if they
made it.” Stoehr said she didn’t know where to go after the explosions. She kept running toward the finish line, hoping she could get out, she said. However, police barricaded the finish line and opened up a street to divert everyone away from the scene, Stoehr said. People were frantic, screaming, and trying to leave the scene as quickly as possible. Stoeher described the scene as “pretty gruesome.” Stoehr said she did not get back to her hotel for a couple of hours and the third explosion went off about 40 minutes after the first two. She said at that point she was scared and wondering how many more bombs were left. “It’s just heartbreaking, so tragic and so not necessary,” Stoehr added. “One of my first thoughts, when I figured out that it was caused by another person, was like “Who would do this? Why?’” The explosions killed three and resulted in
more than 140 injuries, as of Monday night. Taylor Curry, a creative writing junior at the UA , won’t remember qualifying for next year’s Boston Marathon without a twinge of sadness. Curry woke up at 6 a.m. Monday and headed to the starting line of the race. She started the race at 10:20 a.m. and finished at about 1:50 p.m., when she learned she qualified to run in the marathon next year as well. An hour later, when she was in her hotel room, she received a call from her friend in Tucson asking if she was safe. “The Boston Marathon is just a dream for so many people to run,” Curry said. “It’s supposed to be such a happy day and such a fulfilling thing and it was kind of taken away. I’m really excited about the time I got, but at the same time I have this looming sadness behind it.”

University garden promotes sustainable living, farming WHITNEY BURGOYNE Arizona Daily Wildcat
The Marshall Foundation is building a new garden on University Boulevard to encourage sustainable living. The new garden will be used for small businesses to grow some of their own ingredients that will promote sustainable living and urban farming. The garden’s framework was installed Saturday afternoon in Geronimo Plaza. The garden’s estimated date of completion is Saturday. A team of students from
Students for Sustainability, as well as a landscaping team, will assist the Marshall Foundation with maintaining the garden throughout the year, according to Jane McCollum, general manager of the Marshall Foundation. The Marshall Foundation decided to build the new garden because it is a sustainable and convenient source of fresh ingredients that will benefit the small businesses, McCollum added. “The small businesses will find that they can advertise that they are using fresh ingredients they are growing right outside,”
McCollum said. “I think it’s become very important to some people that they know where their food is grown. They like that and they like to know what is going into their food.” The garden will primarily consist of herbs such as cilantro and basil. The goal of the garden is to provide as many crops as possible for the convenience of the businesses, said Taylor Sanders, assistant garden manager and an environmental sciences freshman. Sanders will be in charge of some maintenance and hosting
