Presidential election offers three new faces By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students heading to the polls for the ASUA special election on Thursday will choose from five potential presidents: previous candidates James Allen and Daniel Hernandez and newcomers Jesse Gunsch, Robert Rosinski and Myles Tacher. MichaelColletti,electionscommissioner for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, estimated that more than 10 elections packets had been picked up, though only five candidates collected 100 signatures, enough to be eligible to run in a special election. Colletti also said he placed a larger emphasis on the language of the Elections Code during the mandatory candidate meeting last Friday, so that any issues or confusion could be addressed. “I’m excited to give the students an opportunity to vote for who they want to represent them and give them a chance to have their voice heard,” Colletti said. “I think it will be a good process.” For the candidates, the process is as much a referendum on Allen and Hernandez as it is an election. Rosinski said he decided to run because he feels that neither Allen nor Hernandez are responsible enough to lead the student body. He questioned whether either of them could be trusted after “cheating” in the general election. “It’s not hard to follow a few pages of rules,” Rosinski said. “I think the student body deserves better than that.” For Rosinski, he said he believes his experience in the military prior to coming to the university is what makes him best suited to serve as ASUA president. “I understand budgeting, I understand time management,” Rosinski said. “I understand service and I un-

George Humphrey, assistant vice president of Arizona Health Sciences Center’s Office of Public Affairs, and Dr. Steve Goldschmid, left, dean of the College of Medicine, joined with other board members to voice opposition to an amendment to House Bill 2067 at a news conference at University Medical Center on Monday. The bill would allow the governor to choose new members for the UA Healthcare board.
UA Healthcare board in flux Legislative bill would allow governor to choose leadership for company despite objections from UMC
By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The future leadership of UA Healthcare remains uncertain as regents and legislators wrangle over how best to administer the company. At a press conference on Monday, UA Healthcare board members spoke out against House Bill 2067, legislation that would allow the governor to choose a new board. The Arizona Board of Regents made two suggestions for the University Medical Center on April 8. “It really was a very simple thing we did,” said Rick Myers, a member of the Arizona Board of Regents. He said the change shouldn’t be characterized as a “hostile takeover.” “I can guarantee you there’s nothing in our actions that has anything to do with changing the legal structure of the hospital, changing its mission, changing the quality of patient care,” Myers said. He said they only made a
simple bylaw change so there could be fewer hospital board members. Some UA Healthcare members disagreed with this and went to the legislators in hopes of removing the existing board from oversight of UMC, said Dr. Tammie Bassford, head of the UA Department of Family and Community Medicine. This would be in order to construct a new board that would be appointed by the Legislature, she said. “It didn’t have the approval of the full board,” Bassford said. “It took every physician by surprise, it took the department heads by surprise. So the doctors had no voice in this.” The regents also suggested the next chief executive officer of UMC should have a dual responsibility between the university and the medical school in order to contribute to the bigger picture, Myers said. “I think a lot of people somehow took that as a threatening thing instead of seeing it as an opportunity to go fix some of our major problems here in the
state,” Myers said. He said he thinks there was some miscommunication about the proposal. Kevin Burns, the former interim CEO of UMC, could have been one of the next CEO candidates but resigned last week. “I think Kevin’s resigning was a disappointment, and I think Kevin, without talking to the regents to better understand what was going on, went off and made that decision,” Myers said. “And I think that’s a shame.” The doctors are now worried that the legislature will try to take over the hospital because of the overreaction that occurred, Myers said. “And they know that the Legislature is not who you want running a hospital.” Before H.B. 2067, the UA Healthcare board had already adopted a new mission for UMC, said Dr. Steven Goldschmid, the dean of the College of Medicine and the vice chair of the UA Healthcare board. “Unfortunately, the proposed legislation will instantly reverse all that we’ve worked
so hard to achieve today,” Goldschmid said. He said if the bill passes, many people will notice the impact and may leave UMC. “I’m also concerned that if we’re not careful, this dire distraction could negatively affect patient care as well,” Goldschmid said. Bassford said if the bill passes, it will “sever the connection between the College of Medicine and University Medical Center.” She also said she thinks this bill would impair UMC’s ability to attract and retain top physicians and said it would be a shame if the bill was passed and signed by the governor. “In all honesty, I think what we didn’t do a good enough job of is all sit down together and look at the vision and make sure that people realize that everything we’re doing is to provide the very best patient care and to have the very best hospital,” Myers said. “It’s also to leverage the very best hospital so that we can do even more for the community.”

Senate will dole funds By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Five clubs are vying for $2,892.80 of funding at this week’s Wednesday night ASUA Senate meeting. If their proposals are approved, club funding will reach $135,229.68, only a few thousand short of the $138,575.76 set aside by the senate for club funding this year. Safe Ride, a free transportation service for students, will make a presentation to the Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate. Bear Down Camp, held at the beginning of every school year, will also be discussed at the meeting. It, along with several other areas and programs administered by ASUA, is working toward training executives to chair next year’s initiatives. This meeting will be one of the last during the terms of most elected officials, outside of Sen. Chad Travis and Administrative Vice President Brett Ponton, who were both elected to second terms in their offices.
UMC doctor conducts single-incision weight loss surgery By Samantha Munsey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The future of weight loss surgery could be as simple as a single incision. Dr. Carlos Galvani, the UA surgeon who conducted the first single-incision weight loss surgery in Tucson, said he is pleased with the results and recovery of his patient. During the surgery, a laparoscopic gastric band is placed around the upper portion of the patient’s stomach, limiting the amount of food needed to feel full after a meal. “Getting the surgery is like getting yourself a policeman,” Galvani said. “Once you eat the wrong thing or too much it will stop you, and let you know you have eaten too much.” Galvani, an associate professor of

surgery and director of Minimally Invasive and Robotic Surgery at the UA, performed the procedure last February after finding a candidate who would benefit from the operation. “From a surgery standpoint, it was very successful,” Galvani said. “She did really good and was able to go home in the morning.” The single-incision bariatric surgery is different from weight loss procedures in the past, in which multiple cuts had to be made on the abdomen. During the operation, one half-inch incision is made though the navel of the patient. From there, a surgeon inserts a small camera into the incision to place a laparoscopic adjustable gastric band around the upper portion of the stomach. The surgeon then injects the band with saline though a port that restricts that

bottom portion of the stomach and controls the amount of food that can be eaten in a single sitting. Galvani estimated that 90 percent of the people who receive this procedure are able to go home the next day. The recovery time is also quicker compared to most weight loss procedures, as it is less invasive and limits the potential for infection. “We are trying to do the same weight loss surgery we have done before, but now trying to reduce pain, infection and more complications,” Galvani said. This operation is not recommended for everyone and is seen as more of a last resort to improve patient health. The surgery can not be performed on severely overweight individuals who exceed around 300 WEIGHT, page A3

Laptops could turn up the heat‌ in your pants By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Men who sit with a computer on their lap could be increasing the temperature of their genital region, which could negatively affect sperm quality. A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility came to the conclusion after researchers hooked thermometers to the scrotums of 29 young men who balanced a laptop on their knees. They found that the men’s scrotums overheated quickly, even with a lap pad under the computer. Dr. Mitchell Sokoloff, a professor of surgery and chief of the division of urology at the UA department of surgery, said that the study “makes sense,â€? and that infertility could be a possibility for those who sit with electronic machines right next to their testes. The testicles’ position outside of the body ensures that they stay a couple degrees cooler than inside of the body. Earlier research has shown that warming the scrotum more than 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit is enough to damage sperm. Sokoloff said that if one were to stop using his computer on his lap for a long period of time, sperm could “turn to normal.â€? Damage for those who use the warm computers on their laps, however, could be anywhere from three to

six months, according to Sokoloff. Testicle temperature still rose for the men who held their laptops on their knees, according to the study. When the men sat with their legs spread out, which was made possible by placing the computer on a large lap pad, they could keep their testicles cooler, but it still took fewer than 30 minutes for them to start to overheat. The researchers also found that using a lap pad did not help cool the testicles, giving men a false sense of security, and Sokoloff agreed. About one in six couples in the United States have trouble conceiving a child, and about half of the time the man is considered to be the problem, according to the American Urological Association. Other hypotheses also suggest that outside influences, like wearing tight jeans or briefs, can harm the male genital region. Sokoloff said that it is a “longstanding wives tale� that briefs could lead to infertility. Many factors can influence reproductive health, such as lifestyle, nutrition, drug use and general health. Sokoloff added that men should “absolutely� be interested in maximizing fertility potential. “This is the same argument (against) sitting in the hot tub every day,� he said.

continued from page 1 derstand sacrifice.” Rosinski said he has a “long litany of things” he would examine if elected, including going through both ASUA’s and the university’s budgets line-by-line, the examining feesetting process and placing a larger emphasis on ASUA-sponsored community service events. “We need to get out there and counter the negative stereotypes about students,” Rosinski said. Gunsch said he views the presidency as a way to get in touch with students and the university community. He also said he thinks that ASUA is out of touch with the most pressing needs facing the student body. Gunsch said it is necessary to have

Specifically, Gunsch said, if elected, he would re-examine the current ASUA club funding model, which allows any ASUA-recognized club to apply for funds from the senate. Gunsch said he would prefer a model where students involved in clubs would fund them internally.

“I don’t think the model of having ASUA-recognized clubs is efficient or even necessary,” he said. He also pledged that he would reevaluate student programs, keeping those that students widely support, such as Safe Ride, and eliminating funding for those that are overspecialized and redundant, such as the Think Tank. Tacher said he thinks ASUA leadership needs to serve as role models for the student body. “I feel they (ASUA members) barely work with students,” he said. “Most students don’t know what ASUA does for them.” His niche as a political outsider gives him a unique and more relatable perspective, Tacher said. He stressed accessibility as his major platform and said that as an out-ofstate student he would have appre-
ciated more outreach. He also said he feels that ASUA does not adequately utilize its resources. “When I put my foot down, I feel like I’m stepping on an oil well of a wealth of knowledge, and we’re barely tapping into that,” he said. To Tacher, it is ASUA’s responsibility to make its mission known. “Even without ASUA, you’d still have a student body,” he said. “It’s ASUA that has to make the effort to reach students.”

Though the cosmetic factor of looking thinner can be a benefit to the operation, the main purpose is to deter patients from fatal health risks including heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

EDITORIAL Surprise: Brewer made the right call … twice
I
t’s not often that anyone says this, but kudos to Gov. Jan Brewer this week. On Monday, Brewer vetoed two controversial (also known as crazy) pieces of legislation that were championed by the right. Her vetoes demonstrate that even Brewer deserves credit where credit is due. The first piece of legislation she vetoed, the “birther bill,” demanded that any presidential candidate provide a long-form birth certificate before being placed on the Arizona ballot. The bill would have also accepted baptismal or circumcision records, suggesting Uncle Sam wants to see your birth certificate or your penis. In her letter explaining her veto, Brewer wrote that “I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their ‘early baptismal or circumcision certificates’ among other records to the Arizona Secretary of State.” Similar legislation has failed in three states — Connecticut, Maine and Montana — which is no surprise, given that even Brewer was able to recognize that “this is a bridge too far.” “This measure creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona,” Brewer added. Thanks for finally stating the obvious, Governor. It’s the second veto that comes as a welcome relief. State Sen. Ron Gould, the bill’s sponsor, told the Arizona Republic that Brewer’s explanation for vetoing the campus gun bill was a “very rude veto letter.” Well, sometimes you have to hurt the feelings of a few state legislators to meet the needs of your constituents. Brewer, a known advocate of gun rights, has signed legislation in the past that permits firearms in bars and restaurants. So it wouldn’t have been at all unexpected if she’d allowed firearms on higher education campuses without blinking an eye. Thankfully, she did blink. The campus gun bill would have allowed people to carry weapons, open or concealed, in “public rights-of-way.” Originally, it would have allowed weapons inside campus buildings, but was scaled back after everyone pointed out how nutty the whole notion was. In her veto letter, Brewer questioned how vague the wording of the bill was. The bill “inexplicably” fails to define a “public rightof-way” and that none of the four differing definitions found in Arizona statutes apply, she wrote. Brewer also pointed out that “the bill is widely advertised as applying to only universities and community colleges. However, the bill clearly applies to an ‘educational institution,’ which includes our K-12 schools.” Brewer wrote that legislation “must be both unambiguous and clear to protect the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners. Senate Bill 1467 is neither.” It’s all too easy to criticize Arizona’s government, but it’s equally important to take the opportunity to applaud our lawmakers when they make the right decisions.

ollege relationships — the ultimate search for “the one” — become more complex as the four-plus years go on. What starts off as accepting an invitation to dinner, coffee or ice cream often times, leads to a full-blown relationship. The affair starts off pretty typical: hanging with the crew, leaving clothes at the boo’s place, becoming Facebook official and then dinner at Wilko arrives and the ultimate roadblock is reached: the conversation about religion. Obviously, it is something that will inevitably be addressed between two people who were originally headed in the direction of commitment, prior to this conversation. Why is it that society looks down on interreligious romance? Not only is it culturally enriching but it also brings people together. I don’t see nothin’ wrong with a little religious bump and grind. Raised in the Catholic Church, never missing a Sunday school, I deeply appreciate the devotion to religious culture. However, the religious restrictions on romance in our society kill me. It is not fair
Column should have clarified application process
The column (“New regent disrespects Arizona’s students,” April 18) regarding the new student regent wasn’t clear about the Arizona Students’ Association’s role in selecting the student regent. While it’s true that ASA is involved in the process, selection and recommendation of student regents is ultimately up to the respective student governments. ASA successfully lobbied for the creation of a student regent position in 1978, again in 1989 to make the seat permanent and finally in 2000 to add a second non-voting student regent seat. It has become a national model for the statewide student voice on university governing boards. Through a careful and comprehensive selection process, student governments interview and recommend student regent candidates to the governor — the decision of whom to recommend to the governor is in their hands. Both student regents serve as ex-officio members of the ASA Board of Directors. ASA looks forward to working with all new and returning Regents in the coming year. — Elma Delic Arizona Students’ Association chair

to lay down the law in love. Common arguments involving texting mysterious members of the opposite sex, whereabouts of the girlfriend/boyfriend and whose friend group the couple will pre-gaming with for the Star Pass Pool Party are easy to solve through breaking and making up. But what happens when the argument leads to Easter versus Passover, whether or not there is an actual god or how the Mormon and Catholic couple will break the news to their families? Conflict will inevitably occur. I do not have the authority to claim that UA students are mature enough to handle interreligious relationships, but they deserve more than the average homo-religious relationship. The boyfriend and girlfriend who spend their days frolicking in the fields of the same religion have a bond based on trust, chemistry and respect. The interreligious boyfriend and girlfriend have the same bond with additional courage, effort and a hint of a DGAF attitude. It takes a brave person to defy the laws of romance. Becoming intertwined in the
other family is already difficult, but entering a dining room filled with a bunch of people staring at you like you are the Antichrist, with religious symbols you disagree with hung throughout the house, can be a bit rough. The DGAF attitude is self-explanatory. If you have the balls to define the societal norms and date someone who is of a different religion or race, you are already a badass. The Washington Post reported in 2010 that less than 25 percent of 18 to 23-year-old respondents to a National Study of Youth and Religion survey think it is important to marry someone of the same faith. This response was not due to our youthful ignorance but because interreligious relationships are this generation’s Romeo and Juliet. We can thank Shakespeare for setting the stage for a romantically controversial future. The extra effort in an interreligious relationship is essential to learning the “weird” hymns your significant other sings on holy days or when it’s a bad time to cook a steak dinner. Relationships, unfortunately, require a lot of energy from both sides to understand the person whose heart, soul and bed you are sharing. Being in an interreligious relationship requires you to dig into the deeper, spiritual topics.

ove on over 2011 budget, here comes the 2012 budget. Yep, we had about two seconds to rest before new problems popped up. And with House budget committee chairman Paul Ryan having presented his sweeping budget proposal, and President Barack Obama laying out his ideas for deficit reduction, the debate starts again. The very fact that Ryan is standing by the tough proposals, which tackle the entitlements that many Washington elite view as untouchable, already gives him a leg up on Obama. Ryan’s plan essentially couples reduced taxes with reduced spending, with entitlement reform and restructuring as part of the mix. Of course, Democrats didn’t even have to review the proposal to know that they would oppose it. But they, along with critics in general, are correct in fretting over the fact that this proposal does not exactly pay down the debt. This, however, is easily remedied. One needs only to look to the Simpson-Bowles commission report and observe their proposals for tax reform. While one can nitpick the individual proposals attached to this tax reform, in its entirety, it essentially targets upwards of $1 trillion in tax loopholes, deductions and other credits. Reform here would keep the revenue
Arizona Daily Wildcat flowing without strapping American citizens with a new tax burden. Increase in revenue without an increase in tax rates. Who would have guessed? Very few up on Capitol Hill. Once again, the merits of the SimpsonBowles plan with regard to tax reform can be debated, but its seriousness in tackling waste and inefficiency in the tax code is to be commended. And it is through this type of reform that the revenue gap in Ryan’s budget proposal can be filled. Putting aside that one major flaw, however, Ryan has truly come out on top of this whole budget debate as a serious and credible voice on fiscal policy. This is because he has got it right when it comes to spending reduction. He understands the need for serious cuts as an impetus for overall deficit reduction. Obama, not to be left in the dust, presented his own budget ideas while speaking at George Washington University. But where he echoed the popular sentiment to cut spending, he did so in a tepid, noncommittal fashion. And then came the tax hike proposals. To his credit, he also spoke of a general simplification of the tax code, but even so, he still came off sounding much more in favor of taxing the rich. To be sure, in simple mathematical terms, a
decrease in spending along with the increased revenue following tax increases will in the long term reduce the deficit. But this largely misses the point when the U.S. finds itself in the middle of a fragile economic recovery. In short, taxes are detestable under really any circumstance. But to consider levying them against the rich (which would happen to lump in businesses that are already struggling, not just the uberrich Oprahs and Bill Gates of the country) is definitely not something to do during tough economic times. The challenges that this country faces are complex and daunting. But when looking at the Ryan plan vs. the Obama plan, the former makes a much more genuine and, frankly, daring attempt at balancing the budget. These budgets are political documents from the get go, and, especially with a divided congress, are not destined to go far in their original state. But Ryan has raised the bar. Concessions will be made and deadlines will loom, just as they did over a week ago. But with this 2012 budget proposal, we know that Ryan is in it for the long haul. He has a concrete plan, whereas the naysayers still struggle to match their rhetoric with serious results. In short, one young congressman has managed to outshine all the rest in this budget debate. And given a few tweaks, his plan might actually work. — Tanner Weigel is a sophomore studying Spanish and history. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

policebeat By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat
Squatter spotting
Two female UA students were charged with minor in possession on April 15. Around midnight, a UAPD officer was patrolling First Street and Vine Avenue when he saw two women who appeared intoxicated. One woman, clutching a cement pillar, seemed to be vomiting or urinating. After approaching the students, he found that she had squatted to urinate. The woman said that she had only two beers at a house off-campus while the other student said that she drank “jungle juice.” Both students exhibited symptoms of intoxication and submitted to portable Breathalyzer tests. The results showed that both women had alcohol in their system so they were arrested for minor in possession. They were cited, released on scene and taken home by a taxicab.
Sparky tags Arizona Stadium
Arizona State fans attempted to rebrand Arizona Stadium on April 16. A University of Arizona Police Department officer on patrol spotted graffiti underneath the east side of the stadium at 5 p.m. “SPARKY” was spray-painted, about three feet in height, in black paint on a column under the stadium. A victim’s rights form was sent to the UA.
Drunk and deceitful
On April 15 a UAPD officer, patrolling Euclid Avenue, noticed two women in a parking lot north of the Aggie House. One of the women was squatting next to a brick pillar and appeared to be urinating. As the officer approached her and shined his vehicle’s spotlight on the woman, she immediately stood up and fixed her clothing. When the officer asked for her identification, she gave her name and said that she didn’t have a license. She also said she didn’t have an address because her parents had moved from California to Phoenix. A records check on the name and information given to the officer showed no result. The woman then admitted that she had given false information. When she told the officer her real information, the results indicated that she was underage. The officer then arrested her for minor in possession, criminal littering and false reporting. She was cited and released on scene.

Dancer to spread ‘magic’ with endowment By Dallas Williamson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
W
hat is the price of inspiration? For Rachel Soule, it’s worth $500. On Saturday, dance freshman Soule will receive “The Magic In You” Endowment for Fine Arts Outreach Award, which will help her to inspire a little bit of magic in others. Every year since its creation by Dr. Ruth Mondschein in 2004, “The Magic In You” Endowment has been awarded to a University of Arizona College of Fine Arts student who has shown an interest in working with K-12 children and youth, especially those who are disadvantaged or disabled. According to Suzanne Rice, the director of development for the College of Fine Arts, “Dr. Ruth created this endowment to reflect her own deeply held beliefs in the transformative power of the arts and their ability to touch lives, especially of those with disabilities.” The funds provide resources to enable the recipient to reach out and host educational workshops or performances in local schools. Soule will be the first recipient of the “Magic In You” Endowment in honor of her future endeavors. Soule was chosen to receive this year’s endowment to help with a project that combines two of her greatest passions. “I want to choreograph a dance using both UA dancers and deaf children from the Arizona State School of the Deaf and Blind,” said Soule.

Rachel Soule, a dance freshman, performs a dance routine behind the Park Student Union on Tuesday. Soule will be receiving “The Magic In You” Endowment for Fine Arts Outreach Award to help with a project that combines American Sign Language and dance.
Soule first got the idea for the project after dance professor Melissa Lowe mentioned an opportunity to incorporate American Sign Language and dancing. “I have always been interested in the deaf culture,” said Soule. “When I was in elementary school, for book reports I would always get an American Sign Language Dictionary and decide to give my report on that. I don’t know why … I don’t know anyone who’s deaf and I am not really even incorporated with the deaf culture that much. I just really have found an interest in it.” Her interest will soon mean an opportunity for both UA dancers and students at ASDB as Soule begins to make plans for her dance piece. “Right now I am envisioning having a trio of dancers and a handful of children from the ASDB,” explained Soule. “At first I was just thinking about having the dancers dance around the stage and then just having the students signing in the back,” said Soule. “But now I would really love to merge the two groups together, incorporating the deaf students dancing and maybe the dancers signing.” Soule is also excited to begin working with the ASDB students. “I think it would be really great for them to learn dance movements,” she said. “I mean, I don’t know what their school curriculum entails — if they’ve had dance before. I think it would be great to teach them and
try to incorporate dance into their vocabulary and culture.” While Soule will not begin physically working with the dancers and the ASDB students until classes resume in the fall, she will be using her summer break to brainstorm and lay down a clearer vision of her plans. “That is where the endowment will help,” said Soule. Soule plans to allocate some of the funds toward transportation costs, such as busing ASDB students to and from the UA campus. Leftover funds will contribute to costumes and props. Along with meeting the demands of such an innovative project, Soule also faces nerves surrounding being somewhat of a rookie to the choreographic scene. “I choreographed when I was younger, but I haven’t really done anything since then so I am kind of nervous,” Soule admitted. “We have so many great choreographers (at the School of Dance), so I am going to do my own thing and see if it works out.” Soule is ballet-trained, but she describes her choreographic manner as kind of “a strong, weird, nonclassical style.” Once Soule finishes her dance, she will audition her piece to be placed in the fall Student Spotlight Concert. Soule sees her project as an educational experience that will prepare her for a future of inspiring others. “I want to do something with dance therapy later on,” said Soule. “I am so honored to have this opportunity. I can’t wait to get started.”
Post-punk revival rockers take over Rialto Evoking the dark imagery and somber tones of late ‘70s/early ‘80s alternative British rock bands like The Smiths and Joy Division, New York City-based Interpol hit airwaves hard in the mid 2000s. After earning their indiealbum cred with cult hit “Turn On the Bright Lights” in 2001, their endlessly catchier 2004 release “Antics” paved their way to stardom. Interpol played a show in Tucson on April 17, and those lucky enough to be there enjoyed the soul-soothing experience of a near-critical-overload of bass guitar, typical of their sound: tricky guitar arrangements lilting over confident, hard-hitting bass. Front man Paul Bank’s somber siren song rounded out the sound, delivering terse lyrics like haunting and confusing poetry. Interpol’s set was a seamless medley of polished performances: a typical selection from their new, self-titled album, a mix of fan favorites and a few wildcards. Drummer Sam Fogarino showed his chops on second-album single “Evil”; fans air-drummed along with frightening precision to the midtempo ballad’s cymbal-heavy bridge.
Likewise, guitarist Daniel Kessler stole the stoplight with his boogiehappy performances, adding sway equally to his guitar and hips through a particularly high-energy performance of fan favorite “Say Hello to the Angels.” The dedicated audience that stayed after the bow-out was treated to an impressive five-song encore. The roar of the of the post-hipsters as the band retook the stage rivaled that of the time they found out a new Buffalo Exchange was opening up downtown. While attendees were impressed by Interpol’s performance, they were equally impressed by the performance of one particularly lanky young man with amazing footwork. Just seconds after the end of a lighter-in-handprompting performance of “Not Even Jail,” a fan leapt from the front row to the top of the stage in one bound, sneaking up behind Paul Banks before planting a kiss on his lips. Security guards were not pleased, but the crowd was ecstatic. Ultimately, the show was a worthy treat for any Interpol fan or musical enthusiast of bass-driven sad rock. Between the setting of gloomy fog, multi-colored stage lights and a Rialto full of die-hard fans, it was hard not to have a good time. Photo courtesy of chavo.net

How does hip hop make you feel? It makes me want to dance and go out. It also relaxes me when I’m stressed. What is the first song you truly busted a move to? Honestly, it was probably “Yeah!” by Usher. Within the first two seconds of that song I think every person at the party, at the club, in the shower just goes out of control. Vanilla Ice or RunDMC? Ice, ice baby you can’t touch this. The go-to old school hip hop people, they are like my parents’ Usher and R. Kelly. If you were trapped in a closet with R. Kelly, what would happen? Seven minutes in heaven, duh. (laughs) No way. He kind of creeps me out, especially after the 12-minute video of the closet, the kitchen, wherever he’s talking about. Have you ever tried country swing dance? Does it look like I would want to do that? I hear it’s like the new thing for music videos … That is the last thing I want to see in videos. Somebody needs to live up to Michael Jackson. I am waiting for the next video to top “Smooth Criminal.” Watch out for Black ‘n Blue.

The Arizona club hockey program was expected to be officially transformed from Leo Golembiewski’s Icecats to a more traditional program on Tuesday evening. Golembiewski was set to be removed as head coach and with the help of the Campus Recreation’s funding, Arizona club hockey would become a student-run organization like other club sports. But no announcement was made on Tuesday and the news is expected to come in the next few days as the process is finalized. Vice President of Student Affairs Frank Farias, who is helping to head up the operation, was not available to comment on Tuesday evening.
Wildcats lead Pac-10 after three weeks
UA battling through injuries, offensive slumps By Tyler Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat
As Nic Grigsby’s injuryplagued Wildcat career came to a close, it appeared the elusive running back wasn’t going to be hearing his name called on draft day. Despite his 1,153-yard, 13-touchdown sophomore campaign, Grigsby’s oncepromising Arizona career ended with nagging injuries and minimal productivity. He became foreign to NFL scouts, leaving him uninvited to the NFL Combine and left out of every mock draft on the web. As he amassed only 197 carries during his last two seasons due to shoulder and ankle injuries, the Whittier, Calif., native had no recent film to show to NFL teams. Grigsby’s final shot at making a name for himself came on March 12 during Arizona’s pro day, where he had a chance to erase some of his poor play and give himself a realistic shot at finding his way into the league. With his future at stake, Grigsby rose to the occasion — literally. He posted an unheard of 43.5-inch vertical leap and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.31 seconds.

Running back Nic Grigsby is making a surprise run at the NFL. After injuries derailed the junior and senior seasons of his promising career, Grigsby’s impressive measurables have impressed NFL scouts.
“It was crazy,” said former Arizona defensive end Brooks Reed. “That’s good for him, man. He needed to get his name out there somehow, and that’s probably the best way to do it on pro day.” Grigsby said his plan was to “steal the show.” He did more than that — he may have stolen himself an NFL job that once seemed to be out of the realm of possibilities. In a sport so fixated on measurables and workout times, the 5-foot-11,

I just wanted to prove people wrong and show them what I could do. I think I helped myself out a lot.” Grigsby said he’s expecting to be selected anywhere GRIGSBY, page 13

After a rocky performance in the out-ofconference schedule, the Arizona softball team regained its footing just in time for the Pacific 10 Conference season and now possesses a one-game conference lead. The Wildcats have tackled all sorts of adversity in their three weeks of conference play, and it appears they will face more of the same in the future. The team did not start their Pac-10 schedule auspiciously. Coming into a tough opening series against then-No. 12 Stanford, the Wildcats did not have a single win against a top-10 team, having lost to Georgia, Michigan and Oklahoma twice. However, they swept the Cardinal by a combined score of 16-1 and headed home sharing the conference lead with UCLA. The talk of the team after its wins over Stanford was of a “new attitude” and renewed optimism for what had been a disappointing season. The team had held a players-only meeting the week before, which provided a wake-up call and may have turned the team around. But after only taking two-of-three at Oregon State, it appeared the Wildcats had issues offensively. This had not been a problem before, as the team had recorded 16 mercy-rule victories in its first 38 games. However, Arizona managed only 11 runs against the weakest team in the Pac-10. Even more frustrating was the fact that they had stranded 35 runners in the series. The offensive woes continued into the

Wildcats’ next series against Washington. The team could not muster a single run in the 3-0 defeat, despite outhitting the Huskies 8-6. What happened next was vintage Mike Candrea — a last-minute lineup change that seemingly solved all problems. “I was OK with it because I kind of agreed with his reasoning,” said outfielder Brittany SOFTBALL, page 13
Despite Carmelo’s 42 points, Knicks waste another chance McClatchy Tribune BOSTON — Without Chauncey Billups, maybe the Knicks had a chance Tuesday night. Without Amar’e Stoudemire in the second half because of back spasms? All yours Carmelo. Really, all yours — on the 27th anniversary of the first of Bernard King’s first of back-to-back 46-point playoff games. ‘Melo did all he could, scoring 42 while also grabbing 17 boards. His all, though, couldn’t prevent Celtics 96, Knicks 93 — the second straight game in this now 2-0 series in which the Knicks lost the lead in the final 15 seconds. Kevin Garnett’s jump-hook with 13.3 seconds left over Jared Jeffries, who’d just given the lead six seconds earlier, produced the winning points before Anthony, forgoing a shot for the lead, fed Jeffries underneath, who turned the ball over trying to feed Bill Walker in the lane. Yes, it was an odd cast of characters the Knicks had to play minus Billups all night and then Stoudemire, who layed less than 18 minutes and scored only
four before exiting. But if there were any questions why the Knicks got Anthony, he answered them Tuesday in the wake of his 5-for-18 Game 1. Until he scored his final points with 2:37 to play, he all but carried the Knicks to what would have been a win for the ages. Instead, like Sunday’s Game 1, they were so close, yet go home with a deficit from which only 6 percent of teams in such a hole have emerged to win a series. The Knicks also lost Toney Douglas, Billups’ replacement, early to foul trouble and spotted the Celtics a 10-point first-half lead, then wiped it out to lead for the second straight game at the half. Still, once Stoudemire — who appeared to hurt his back in the first quarter — was declared out, it looked bleak for Mike D’Antoni’s team as it fell behind by 11 late in the third quarter. But ‘Melo was getting on a roll, eventually scoring the Knicks’ next 13 points to draw the Knicks within 76-74 before assisting on a Ronny Turiaf score that tied the score, then draining a right-wing 13-footer for the lead.

RICKARD continued from page 12 He puts the team first during his ingame at-bats, giving his teammates another reason to respect him. “He really motivates everyone starting off the lineup with great at-bats,” said outfielder Rob Refsnyder, who is also Rickard’s housemate. “He just exudes confidence. It’s not about the hits for him — it’s about seeing pitches for the rest of the lineup. Every day, it seems like he has multiple hits. He’s always on first, and he’s always scoring.” Scoring is something that Rickard has done a lot of, but it’s not his only specialty. He’s tied for third on the team
SOFTBALL continued from page 12 Lastrapes, who was moved from lead-off to third. “We just needed something different, it didn’t really matter what it was. It kind of felt weird because I’ve been batting leadoff for so long.” According to Candrea, one of the motives behind the change and its timing was his philosophy on coaching female players, which he has been cultivating at Arizona for more than 20 years. “I’m usually very slow at juggling people around, and a lot of it, I think, is the female mentality,” he said. “I think they like stability. I’ve always found over the years that it tends to work better when they kind of know what’s happening. I think we got to a point tonight where we had to try something to change things.”

in runs (32), leads the team in batting average (.409) and total bases (79), and has stolen 10 bases, good for second on the team. Rickard can flash the leather, too. He leads the team in outfield assists with three, and has made only two errors while starting all 36 of Arizona’s games. He’s also healthy for the first time since last year. Rickard battled a nagging groin injury for most of his freshman season, but was still able to garner Pacific 10 Conference Honorable Mention in 2010. Although Rickard’s practice regiment may seem exhausting, he doesn’t see it changing anytime soon. “So far,” he said, “it’s worked pretty well.”
continued from page 12 from the second to seventh round. His freakish athletic ability caught the attention of a handful of scouts, which led to draft workouts for the Miami Dolphins, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles are most interested in the shifty back, according to Grigsby. “They’ve been talking to me nonstop since pro day,” he said. “They tell me to imagine being in an offense with LeSean (McCoy), (DeSean Jackson) and Jeremy Maclin. It would be crazy.” Grigsby’s yet to prove he has the durability to play in the NFL, as he missed 17 of Arizona’s 26 games over the course of his last two seasons. But even though he’s not the most durable back, Grigsby still has the skill set to be productive as an NFL running back. “I could see him as like a situational kind of running back. Not every down but like a second-and-long, third-and-long kind of get him out in open space,” Reed said of Grigsby. “I could see him maybe returning punts or kickoffs.”
Candrea’s changes worked as Arizona scored 19 runs in the next two games and won its third straight Pac-10 series. But while Arizona’s offensive problems appear to be solved for the moment, there are worries to be had on defensel. The primary reason to stress is the apparent absence of Kenzie Fowler. The sophomore pitcher suffered a concussion when she was hit by a foul ball on Sunday and she may not be available for the crucial series against Arizona State. “She’s got a concussion right now,” said Candrea. “It’s one of those things that’s dayto-day and it can last days. It can last weeks. It can (last) months. It can last years.” That leaves freshman Shelby Babcock as the Wildcats’ only pitcher for this weekend against one of the best offensive teams in the country. Babcock has been solid at times but was shaky against the Huskies, allowing six earned runs on eight innings of work.
A13
But could Reed see Grigsby playing on the other side of the ball? The Oakland Raiders can. He received a call from Oakland Raiders defensive backs coach and former standout safety Rod Woodson asking Grigsby to work out on Monday at defensive back. “He called me and was like, ‘Look Nic, we like your size, your speed and your ability to play and be an athlete and we want to see if we can put you on either side of the ball,’” Grigsby said on Sunday. Grigsby played defensive back all throughout high school and said he was even an emergency option for head coach Mike Stoops at Arizona. After playing every down on the offensive side of the ball through college, Grigsby said he’s open to switching to defense. “I’ll play anything,” he said. “I still get a check. And plus, it might be even better because I would last longer.” Regardless of what position he might play, Grigsby’s created an opportunity for himself at the next level just when it seemed that his NFL window was closed. “Another opportunity to take care of my family, take care of myself, play in the NFL,” he said. “People dream about that.”

Questions and Answers On Academic Advising
Sponsored by the Advising Resource Center
Q: I am a pre-major and I just found out that I’m not currently meeting the requirements to be accepted into the major. What can I do? - Wants to Finish A: Dear Wants to Finish: There are several degree programs that incorporate pre-major requirements that must be completed prior to admission to the major, often referred to as “advanced standing.” Since you did not mention a specific major, we will address the general process of obtaining advanced standing. Many programs that fall into this category require a minimum GPA. Meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not always guarantee admission to the major. For example, a competitive and nationally ranked program that requires a minimum 2.700 GPA to gain advanced standing may have a large pool of qualified students. When there are more eligible applicants than spaces, the actual GPA for those accepted to the major that year may be in the range of 3.300 - 3.500. Therefore, even if you complete the pre-major courses, your GPA may not be high enough to be accepted. Your first step should be to see your major advisor. You need to find out, if your GPA is not high enough, whether you can raise your grades in a reasonable amount of time to have a chance of being accepted. Your advisor should be able to look at the average GPA of students accepted in past years to give you an idea of what it will take for you to be considered. If it looks like you have a good chance of being accepted, you can decide whether or not to proceed. You should also ask your advisor about other factors that are taken into account by the department or college when decisions are made to accept students into the program. Some departments place less importance on the overall GPA and more importance on other factors such as grades in specific courses, community service, and admission essays. These factors may increase your chances of acceptance into the major. If you decide not to pursue that major, or you believe you are not going to achieve advanced standing, you need to choose another major. Your current advisor may be able to help you choose a related major that makes the best use of your completed courses and that is in line with your interests, values, and abilities. In addition, you can take advantage of the major exploration services provided by the Center for Exploratory Students, located on the second floor of Old Main. Once you have chosen a new major, or have an idea of what major you want to explore, you need to see an advisor in that department for further assistance. Go to the Advising Resource Center website at http://advising.arizona.edu to find contact information for all academic advisors.

T
he only reason for a one night stand is strictly for the sex,” said Jenna, an undeclared junior. And who would disagree with her? There are many questions attached to the one-time boot-knockin’ — how does it happen? what should you do post-coitus? does oral count? — but the stand’s purpose is not one of them. “It’s sex with a person one night who you don’t want to continue having sex with,” confirmed Chris, a business sophomore. Wildlife surveyed ten students — five male and five female — about their one night stand experiences. The results may be sobering.

to go to sleep and leave early the next morning. However, it’s not just bang-and-run for everybody. The practice of snuggling is more common than you might expect.” Chris said that he would “snuggle if she was THAT good.” “I personally like to cuddle,” Eric said. “Doing so doesn’t have any connection for me to whether I like a person or not.” But romance isn’t a priority for everyone. “I wouldn’t stay and hang out all night or anything,” Lauren said. “Once the sex is over, it’s best to head home.” Jenna added that she usually borrows some clothes and sleeps over, but then bails as soon as possible. “Usually, I’m still wearing his clothes when I head home in the morning,” Jenna laughed. There is one exception to Jenna’s rule, though. “If the sex was good, we’ll wake
up and have sex again in the morning,” Jenna said. Amy, a creative writing sophomore, had a similar agenda: “I usually wake up three to five times during the night, and have sex with him again,” Amy said. Nonetheless, when it’s all over, “I have no idea what to say,” said Chris. He added that the only way to avoid complete awkwardness is to just “leave right when you wake up.” But as Eric suggested, “the walk of shame sucks no matter who you are. So I take them home in the morning and do my best to make good conversation.” Either way, the one-night stand experience “should be a lot of fun,” Lauren said. “Most people … will have a one night stand at some point in their life.”

ellie and Andy Jeffrey, both 22-year-old UA alumni, have known each other since their freshman year. They met through Navigators, a Christian ministry on campus. They began dating their junior year, and were married 11 months ago. For the year and a half that they dated, the Jeffreys did not go physically farther than kissing, and for much of that time, only on the cheek. “I didn’t actually kiss her on the lips until I proposed to her,” Andy Jeffrey said. While today’s campus culture seems steeped in casual sex, not all UA students take the decision to have sex lightly. Many carefully consider when, and if, to have sex. For young people who have decided to abstain from sex until marriage, the choice is often one they’ve been committed to for most of their lives. “Since I figured out or was told what sex was, that was kind of the plan,” said Ross Wilhelmi, a vocal music education senior. For Lauren Case, a civil engineering senior, waiting for marriage has always been the goal. She said it’s “kind of hard to say” how long she’s known she

It seems to be a trend that both parties involved in the one-night stand were intoxicated. “One night stands, 98 percent of the time, happen after some alcohol is involved,” said Eric, a business junior. The ladies agreed. “Very few people will go into a one night stand sober,” said Lauren, a sociology junior.

would choose abstinence before marriage. “I guess forever,” she added. Brittany Winter, an engineering senior who preferred not to use her real name to protect her privacy, considered abstinence as one of her possible paths growing up. “I had never really said, ‘Oh, I’m definitely waiting ‘till marriage,’” she said. “I think it was, ‘Oh, I could wait, and I’m not going to rush it. If I don’t feel ready, I will wait.’” Parental influences also played a part in these young people’s decisions about abstinence, though their parents’ experiences varied. Wilhelmi’s parents had not slept with one another or anyone else before they were married. “I had that example in my life and saw that it worked for them,” he said. Andy Jeffrey, on the other hand, saw the damage a premarital sexual relationship had on his parents. They dated for 10 years before they were married, and had sex during that time. “They told me how that was such a hard thing for them once they were married,” Jeffrey said. “It took awhile for sex to feel OK because before marriage, it was been riddled with all this guilt.” ABSTINENCE, page B2

School of love Students weigh pros, cons of dating teachers By Samantha Munsey Arizona Daily Wildcat The average age difference between spouses in the United States is 3.5 years, according to the U.S. Census, with the male being significantly order than the female. But this hasn’t stopped students from daydreaming about their teachers from time to time, no matter the age gap. The UA’s policy on teachers dating students is expressed in its Policy for Management of Personal Conflicts of Interest for The University of Arizona. The policy not only explains what the rules and conditions are for students dating teachers on campus, but also what to do if spouses are working in the same department at the university and even has information regarding roommate relationships. “Essentially it expresses the view that is best not to engage in personal relationships when you have a supervising role over someone else,� said Mary Beth Tucker, director of the Office of Institutional Equity. “However it acknowledges that this sometimes occurs.� Though there is no specific rule that prohibits teachers from dating students over the age of 18, the policy regards it as being too unprofessional. In most cases, the student will be removed from their classroom and placed in a different section of the course. “There is an inherent conflict of interest in terms of grading that student and other students being upset about potential favoritism,� said Tucker. “For example, if I am teaching a class with a lot of sections and units such as Spanish it would be easy for the student to transfer into a different course.� In some outstanding cases where an accommodation cannot be reached, the end result could be the termination of the teacher. “I couldn’t think of an
example where conflict cannot be resolved in one way or another,� Tucker said. “I think it is very unlikely.� But for some students, the notion of dating a teaching assistant seems more reasonable because the age gap tends to be smaller. One UA student recalled how a realtionship with a teaching assistant began after he had finished the course an assistant was instructing. “I couldn’t see myself really persuing anyone else. I was so smitten with her,� said the source. “So I waited ‘till the end of the semester and asked if she wanted toi go out.� He went on to say that, though he was unaware of the UA’s policy on students dating instructiors, he felt, ethically, it was inappropriate to date the assistant while being a student in her class. “It’s completely unprofessional,� said the source. “There needs not only be a hierarchy in the classroom, but a professional, respectable relationship from the teacher to the student.� The UA’s policy only pertains if a student is involved with an instructor and results in a direct conflict of interest, such as being a member of their classroom or department. The university cannot restrict a relationship if it does not affect both parties’ careers at the institution. “In that respect, it is very narrow and really only focused on situations where there is a direct relationship between the two,� said Tucker. Though it is possible for a student to date a teacher, some undergraduates feel that this too much of a strain on their academic career. “It should be a professional work environment and seems too much like a conflict of interest,� said Diana Rosales, a religious studies junior. “I’m sure it happens, but I have never really heard about it here. I’ve only seen it on television.�
ABSTINENCE continued from page B1 Winter and her parents have always talked frankly about sex. “I knew my parents had had sex before they got married,� she said. “They didn’t really expect that I would wait. It was just, ‘be safe,’ basically. ‘Be smart about it.’ I always had that kind of openness.� Winter, who is currently in a serious relationship, chose to have sex with her boyfriend more than a year after they started dating. “We definitely talked, before it happened, a lot about it,� she said. “At first, I definitely mentioned, ‘Well, I’m not sure if I’m going to wait ’till marriage. I might. But I’m not at the stage of being ready at all.’� Case is also in a long-term relationship, but she and her boyfriend are committed to waiting until marriage to have sex. They have set boundaries for their relationship to help keep those desires in check. “We’re open when we feel like we’ve gone too far,� she said. The Jeffreys had boundaries before
they were married, as well. One of their chief rules was “no dark, secluded places,� Kellie Jeffrey said. They also avoided kissing, even after their engagement. “We tried not to kiss the last month of the engagement because that can lead to so much more,� Andy Jeffrey said. Though Wilhelmi isn’t currently involved with anyone, he remembers how complicated the physical components of a relationship can become. “The more that I pursued a physical relationship, the more I wanted and the less satisfied I was,� he said. “That was a red flag for me.� He has also learned from others’ experiences with premarital sex. “People (I know) who had waited all were completely satisfied,� he said. “Those who hadn’t waited seemed to have regrets that they had brought past baggage into their marriages.� Kellie Jeffrey said not having such past baggage has made their sex life better. “(Waiting for marriage) makes sex so much more enjoyable,� she said. “We came as blank canvasses. ‘How
can I please you? How can you please me?’ Not muddying it up with all these previous experiences.� “Andy knows me,� she added. They have enjoyed getting to know each other sexually, after spending so much time learning about each other in other ways. “Waking up the day after we got married, I was just surprised that it felt so normal to be waking up next to him,� Kellie Jeffrey said. “We expected it to feel weird and funny, but it was wonderful.� Andy Jeffrey said even the process of getting “good� at sex was fun for a married couple. “There was this enjoyable period where we could just laugh at our clumsiness,� he said. Winter, too, is happy with her decision. While she and her boyfriend didn’t wait for marriage, she said she believes they have trust and respect for one another. “I think it’s just about continuing to explore each other and get to know each other,� she said. “It’s this thing we now share. “It’s just the two of us.�

CAT MIX SiX SEXY songs for Doin’ It Public Sex:
‘In Public’
Kelis feat. Nas
An exhibitionist anthem with clothes over the balcony and some stick shift action in the car, which I’m guessing has little to do with the car, makes this song perfect for getting it on outside the bedroom. Surely this is part of why her milkshake brings boys to the yard? — Jazmine Woodberry
‘Thong Song’ SisqĂł
With lyrics like “She had dumps like a truck truck truck/ Thighs like what what what/ Baby move your butt butt butt,â€? one-night-stand comes to mind. So, if that’s the kind of mood you’re in, I guess Sisqó’s got your butt covered ‌ partially. — Dallas Williamson
Ambivalent hipster sex:
‘Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright’ Bob Dylan
Dylan is never not sexy, and this bittersweet song is sure to impress anyone androgynous and wearing
flannel. The sex will be deep, tender and ultimately meaningless. And at the end, be sure to tell your partner, “Goodbye is too good a word ‌ so I’ll just say fair-thee-well.â€? You’re sure to score a second rendezvous. — Heather Price-Wright
‘Sigh No More’
Mumford and Sons
“What is this, a song about God or something?� “Yeah, babe, I thought it’d be ironic.� “Oh. OK.� Ignore the opening lyrics. Mumford’s reverent acoustic tickle builds to a pumping, triumphant climax that urges listeners to be “more like the man / you were made to be.� If your timing’s right, you’ll both be sighing when it’s over. — Brandon Specktor
Ain’t nothin’ but mammals:
‘The Equestrian’ Les Savy Fav
Les Savy Fav makes the connection between horseback riding and the beast with two backs seem obvious in their song. But it takes a particularly perverse genius to use the jargon to describe a torrid affair: “Jet black boots, whip stiff crop / once we started we just couldn’t stop. / Foreplay, forelocks / four legs

stripped but for their socks.� — Steven Kwan
‘Heathen Child’ Grinderman
I’m pretty sure Nick Cave has killed a man. I can hear it in his voice, see it in the way he holds that tambourine like an obsidian dagger. When Nick sings “Here come the wolfman,� you better lock the doors. The writhing grind of “Heathen Child� is good for two things: performing ritual sacrifices in the woods and having wild, wild sex. — Brandon Specktor

PORNO
By Remy Albillar ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Since films have existed, porno parodies of film titles have existed. It only took three short months before D.W. Griffith’s 1915 silent-era opus “The Birth of a Nation” was followed up by I.P. Upchurch’s critically-acclaimed “The Mirth of Fellatin’.” That’s a lie. But 14 of the following 20 porno titles are real. Can you spot the six fabrications? Turn to page B4 for answers.
W
hat began as an investigative project to determine the phrase to define another guy who has boned your girlfriend evolved into an exploration of masculinities caught in limbo. Juxtaposing interviews and artistic reproductions of personal experiences, this article seeks to establish a new frame of reference for an awkward phenomenon that is commonly experienced and rarely discussed.
CASE STUDY 1
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and circumstance has forced me into the abode of the great adversary. He is tall, broad-shouldered and fit. Within seconds of entering the apartment, a light-footed golem erupts from the congested collage of black and gold streamers. He embraces my girlfriend with a cruelly obvious familiarity: a closedeyed hug that lingers, confirming a sneaking suspicion. I am shaking his hand. He greets me coolly. Confident our other half has kept his secrets, confidant he has the upper hand; he asks me who my team is. I scan the living room. My answer is obvious: “I’m a Colts man, myself. I always love to root for the bad-guy team.” I know nothing about football, but even if I did, what else am I supposed to say? I am eating his guacamole. My compliment about his culinary skills is met with aloof resistance. There will be no male bonding for me this Sunday afternoon. I am an enemy combatant entrenched in the hostile territories of awkwardness, insecurity and doubt. I am comparing our speech, our looks, our everything. I’m quick to scoot my girlfriend out of the apartment at half time, thanking the maker that there’s another party to go to/the Colts are still ahead/I have been emancipated from the malicious, inevitable clutches of their history.
CASE STUDY 2
Sometime close to 2 in the morning, I wander into the living room looking for my girlfriend. I don’t register that he’s talking to me until I feel hands on me: light, quick instigation without palpable threat. I’m too surprised by the contact to follow the conversation. All I catch as I reenter reality is, “… in here like a bitch?” He stands, staring, waiting for my response. It is clear despite the miasma of booze and testosterone that the situation is becoming increasingly complicated. There’s the issue of definition. Eskimo brother?
Comrade-in-arms? Urbandictionary.com has no satisfying term to encapsulate the relationship between myself and this guy who put his penis into the girl that I’m dating. There’s the issue of me just wanting to go to the bathroom. “Dawg, can we do this Cro-Magnon shit later? It’s not even 2:30.” There’s the issue of contrast. As I meet his dark-brown eyes, it is clear that this is the only area where our melanin counts are the same. Yet another conflict between the half-breed mulatto and his full-breed rival. Typical. I Illustration by Kelsey Dieterich remind myself that I am like Blade (all their strengths, none of their weaknesses) and push on, eager to extricate myself from the torture of having to live both in this situation and in my head. “Yeah, I’m sorry.” Still ignorant to what emasculation I have fallen prey to, I feel him pat my back. I return his ginger display of affection, complicit with this delegitimization of those evolutionary drives that initiated the conversation in the first place. It’s just another bad joke: the punch line of alcohol, instinct, and my insecurities.
1. “Play-Mate of the Apes” 2. “Weapons of Ass Destruction” 3. “The King’s Skeet” 4. “Sexorcist” 5. “Womb Raider” 6. “Who’s on top of Virginia MILF?” 7. “Nymphomercials” 8. “You’re a Good Lay, Charlie Bone!” 9. “Horat” 10. “Glad He Ate Her” 11. “10 Things I’d Love To Do To You” 12. “Inspect Her Gadget” 13. “You’ve Got Male” 14. “Edward Penishands” 15. “Morning Glory Hole” 16. “Missionary Position Impossible #2” 17. “The Da Vinci Load 2: Angels andSemen” 18. “Honey, I Blew … Everybody” 19. “The Slutty Professor” 20. “Hairy Peter and the Prisoner of Ass Cabin”
Maybe it’s the hypnotic lull of images and sounds inherited from hours of violent movies and video games or the pollution of our subconscious preventing us from seeing people we love as more than objects. Maybe it’s the product of our animalistic programming, motivations ultimately tied to protecting our right to stay in the gene pool. Maybe it’s just misdirected expression, the symptom of facing an inextricably compromised intimacy and lacking the appropriate tools to describe it. Regardless, it seems like these feelings are natural and ubiquitous. Though perhaps we should be careful to not let what is obvious become our limiting factor. Perhaps, with maturity, we might look to the potential of other gentlemen with “someone in common” as someone with whom we might have something in common.

Have you ever bumped into someone with whom you shared a sexual partner? John (chemistry senior):
“I ran into my ex at a bar. When I found him; he was sitting with “an old friend.” Later that week, he called me to hang out. After it dwindled to the three of us, they started making out in line. I was annoyed, I guess, because he didn’t tell me and invited me to watch them make out. I don’t think he’s worse of a person, but the other dude was weird. If anything, it made me feel better about myself.”
Alex (economics junior):
“Pretty much, my roommate hooked up with this girl. Like a month later, she comes over. My roommate is busy hooking up with someone else, so she goes down to my room, and then I hooked up with her there and that’s pretty much it. In hindsight, I don’t think it was a good idea. That situation got really crazy afterwards.”

Zac (creative writing senior):
“I was still living with my ex-girlfriend when we broke up, and she started hooking up with this other dude immediately. It was not pleasant, despite her insistence that me and the other guy had to be friends. I just felt like he was trying to take me down. I started to wonder in what ways I was similar to this new guy. I think that’s just a natural reaction, and it made me wonder if I was just this huge dork. I probably am, but I’m cool with that.”

AIDS: Not gone, but forgotten By Ken Contrata Arizona Daily Wildcat “I have had an HIV scare before, and it was one of the most horrifying weeks of my life.” Jack Garfield, a psychology undergraduate whose name has been changed to protect his privacy, explained that a drunken escapade led him astray from taking his usual “universal precautions.” Nerve-wracking weeks followed the single condom-less night, while Garfield waited for the final round of tests to read negative. Despite Garfield’s scare, he maintains that AIDS has had minimal impact on his life. The majority of college students, gay or otherwise, would probably echo Garfield’s sentiments. The extent of HIV’s presence in their lives ends with having protected sex as a requirement, the awkwardness of a pre-hookup discussion and the mental anguish of getting tested. If you asked someone 20 years ago about the influence of AIDS in his or her life, the answer would have been gravely different. The Millennial Generation is coming of age in a world in which AIDS, despite its
prevalence, is not a death sentence. Every year, 2.6 million people contract HIV, but the greatly increased life expectancy has triggered complacency among sexually active youth. Things are different today – scientists know what causes the disease, there are (somewhat effective) treatments and those diagnosed aren’t informed they have only six months to live. “I think that the apathy about HIV is an issue for everyone, but particularly for today’s students since (students) have not experienced friends or family members dying from HIV/AIDS,” Lee Ann Hamilton, the assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health Service, said in an email. “Today’s students are much more complacent than students 20 years ago.” Hamilton said the problem is rooted in denial and rationalization. “A Caucasian student may say, ‘Hey, I won’t get HIV because I think it’s largely affecting people of color,’” Hamilton said. “An African American, straight male may say, ‘Hey, I won’t get it, because I’m not gay.’ A gay or bisexual man may say, ‘Hey, I won’t get it because I don’t
inject drugs.’ The truth is, anyone who has unprotected sex or shares needles with others is at risk.” There are more than 2,000 people living with HIV or AIDS in Pima County alone, according to the Arizona HIV/ AIDS Semi-Annual Surveillance Report. The disease hasn’t gone away, only now it lurks in the denial of the invincible teenage mindset. “People still don’t take sexual education seriously,” said Jai Smith, a co-director of the ASUA Pride Alliance. “They still think that it’s very much something that can’t happen to them, especially in the LGBTQ community.” The unfortunate fact is that men who have sex with men comprise 48 percent of all people diagnosed with AIDS in America, according to the 2007 HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. High-risk heterosexual activity and injection drug use round out the transmission types. This June marks the 30th anniversary of the first AIDS case reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Though educational information regarding AIDS is more accessible today than 25 years ago, public dialogue remains limited. “It doesn’t help that we are socialized to not really talk about sex or talk about sex in a backward and whisper sort of way,” Smith said. “It limits public discussion about it.” Arizona law also limits sex and AIDS education in public schools. Instruction must solely “promote abstinence” and forbids curriculum that “portrays homosexuality as a positive alternative life-style” and “suggests that some methods of sex are safe methods of homosexual sex.” Though the amount infected by the virus stagnates around 55,000 people a year, the number of people living with HIV continues to grow. HIV isn’t going away — only student awareness is. — Ken Contrata isthe managing editor of the Arizona Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at arts@wildcat.arizona.edu. Jazmine Woodberry contributed to the reporting of this article.
Junk about your junk
The Internet is a treasure trove of man-meat myths implying the need for moderate increases in the Kinsey figures in three areas: more n-curve erections … more erection angles in the lower ranges, with at least one fourth below horizontal.” See, you’ve been normal for at least 14 years, assuming there hasn’t been new conclusive research on erection curve angles since the turn of the century. I couldn’t have been bothered to find a more recent article. Sorry.
By Remy Albillar Arizona Daily Wildcat OK, quiet down boys. We’ve got a lot of questions in the box today, and not enough time to get through them all. So let’s get started. Q: I’m white. Should I still feel insecure about my penis size because of racial stereotypes? A: I guess, yeah, according to www.matterofsize.com forum member “jonny rod.” In the forum thread he started, titled “White men suffer most from penis myths,” Mr. Rod explains that, “All I’m saying is even if a black man is small he will be perceived as large due to the myth. The white and Asian men will always be looked down upon and degraded by women for the supposed ‘inadequacies.’” Well said, jonny.
Q: Do I have a micropenis? A: Unlikely! According to the article “Penis Myths Debunked” by LiveScience.com, “Micropenises (penises with a flaccid length of less than 2.7 inches) … is estimated to affect only about 0.6 percent of men.” See, those are pretty good odds. If you are still not sure whether or not you have a micropenis, but are still curious, you should download a free print ruler on the Internet. Then do math.
Q: My penis points in a weird direction when I get an erection. Is there something wrong with me? A: Not anymore! According to a 1997 article in “Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy,” there exists “… questionnaire and photo analysis
Q: My significant other is performing oral sex on my penis. Now what? A: Hold up! Take a minute to catch your breath. This is really happening. Now, before you do anything else, “do not force your
penis deeper into your partner’s mouth unless they have given you the OK to do so. This can be very uncomfortable and can make a person feel like they are choking” says Dr. Yvonne Fulbright in her sex-help novel “Touch Me There!” Q: I do not seem to be able to get an erection when my significant other is trying to make the moves on me sometimes. Is that cool? Am I getting old or should I just cheat on them or something? A: Not necessarily. University of Alberta Health Centre’s interactive safe-sex tutorial “It’s Your Call — Making Sexual Decisions” reminds us that “the causes of erectile difficulty are not usually medical, but are far more often related to other factors such as: fatigue, preoccupation with other things, anger, ill-health, alcohol and other drugs (including prescriptions), relationship dissatisfaction, and lack of sufficient stimulation (physical or psychological).” Were you tired, distracted, mad, sick, drunk or on prescription drugs the last time you tried to have sex? No? Well, those other two don’t look that good. I’d flip for it.

‘Blew of A’ Arizona Daily Wildcat In a February 2006 SexTalk, a student question read: “My roommate says that once she gave her boyfriend twenty blowjobs in two days and he came every time. I say that’s impossible. Who’s right?” In a different SexTalk, the question read: “During oral sex my partner never finishes the deal which makes it very unsatisfying. How can I persuade her to wrap things up in a joyful manner?” We’re guessing that over the years, some things may change, but people will still continue to indulge in oral sex. The Arizona Daily Wildcat surveyed students about tips, tricks, praises, chides, dos and don’ts for what Urban Dictionary calls, “the thing most preferred by males apart from intercourse,” and “what happens to experimental 12-year-old boys if left alone around a vacuum cleaner for extended periods of time.” Here’s what we found: Do not: Be afraid to get into it. Part of a good blowjob is knowing that the person you are with is enjoying it too. Students said to remember that it’s all about

having fun. What students say — “Act like you want to do it.” — Brandon, UA sophomore Do not: Use too much teeth. A penis is not a pack of gum. Ease up on the bite. What students say — “It makes you want to hit her in the head (when there’s too much teeth). I tried to battle through it, but it was just too much. At that point, I had to tell her to open her mouth a little.” — Garrett, UA sophomore Do: Get a little playful. There’s more to the act than just the obvious. Don’t be afraid to explore the region — balls and all. What students say — “Tickle their balls while you are doing it. They love it.” — Anita, UA freshman Do not: Be afraid to talk it up and show your partner a little love. Everyone likes positive reinforcement and between the sheets is no exception. Feel free to shout out what you like, don’t like or how good of a job they’re doing. What students say — “Compliments, yeah, compliments are always good.” — Brandon, UA sophomore
