Protesters put their rights to peaceful demonstration into action against Senate Bill 1070 at the northwest corner of Congress Street and Granada Avenue on Tuesday. Community members protesting the bill held signs encouraging people to support a veto by honking.

Immigration bill protested By Matt Lewis ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA students and other members of the community protested Senate Bill 1070, which would allow local officers to arrest undocumented immigrants for trespassing and require local police to enforce federal immigration laws. On Monday, the Arizona Senate approved SB 1070, and now the bill only needs the signature of Gov. Jan Brewer to become law. Brewer has said she will review the bill “completely” over the course of the next few days before making a decision. U.S. Sen. John McCain showed support for the bill after the Senate approved the measure. “I think the people of Arizona understandably are frustrated and angry,” McCain said Monday. “It’s also a commentary on the frustration that our state legislature has that the federal government has not fulfilled

its constitutional responsibilities to secure our borders.” Arizona would be the first state to criminalize illegal immigrants if Brewer signs the bill. Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, sponsored the bill. “Illegal is not a race, it’s a crime,” Pearce told the Senate on Monday. “Why in the world do (illegal immigrants) think they have a right to break the law? And we are the bad guys for insisting that the law be enforced? The public doesn’t agree with that.” Protesters camped out in front of the Arizona State Office Building at 400 W. Congress St. in downtown Tucson. They started off with a march from Armory Park to the state office building at 11 a.m. There were about 40 people who took part in the march. Their numbers dwindled during the early afternoon, but picked up again around 3:30 p.m. By about 4:30 p.m.

there were more than 60 people at the corner of Granada Avenue and Congress Street. Once the protestors got to the state offices, they sent people in every hour to see if they could talk to someone from Brewer’s office. Brewer was in town Tuesday according to her deputy assistant Tim Bee. One of the protesters finally got to speak with Bee and requested and audience with Brewer. Bee asked what they would do if she approved the bill. Their response was that they would continue to protest and even ramp up their efforts. The majority of protesters were wearing white T-shirts for unity, since there were several different human rights and Hispanic groups represented at the protest. Derechos Humanos and the Border Action Network organized the protest by mostly by sending out Facebook and text messages. UA groups that organized people

included the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center, the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA) and Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs. “This (protest) is at least 90 percent students, if not more. There’s a few adults … there’s students from (various) high schools, Pima Community College and the U of A,” said Ray Almanza, a philosophy junior and a brother in the Lambda Theta Phi Latin Fraternity. Almanza is also a member of the Chicano/Hispano Student Affairs and the Campaign to Reform Immigration for America. Protesters, armed with megaphones, signs and the support of some passing cars, made their message of opposition heard. They chanted phrases like “It’s time for justice” and “We won’t go until we

After three years at the UA, Project Vote Smart has decided to leave Tucson, the city in which it was founded. The project — a non-partisan research organization that focuses on candidate accountability — is leaving after budget cuts forced the university administration to make changes to Vote Smart’s contract, namely charging rent for the project’s on-campus headquarters. “Unfortunately, it just didn’t work out” said Vote Smart President Richard Kimball. “The university has run into a lot of difficulties lately, and, apparently, they weren’t interested in the experiences and services we offered to students and the community, so we had to go somewhere that would.” Vote Smart will continue operations at the UA until December, when it will officially move operations to its new satellite offices at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Southern California. According to Kimball, Project Vote Smart tried repeatedly to contact university administrators over an eight-month period but was unable to get in touch with them. “We are looking at growing and expanding our services now, which requires a larger commitment from the university we choose to partner with,” Kimball said. “UA has other priorities they were focusing on and was just no longer a good fit and we had a lot of schools anxious to have us.” Johnny Cruz, UA assistant vice president of communications, cited the issue of rent for Vote Smart’s on-campus headquarters as the main reason for the split. “We’ve experienced unprecedented reductions in state funding so, like any institution, we had to make some tough decisions,” Cruz said. “Vote Smart is a great organization and we were happy to have them at the UA and we wish them luck and success in the future.” VOTE SMART, page A5

ASUA to Group wants to amend Constitution hear Pride Alliance By Jonathan Prince ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will listen Wednesday to informational presentations on ASUA Pride Alliance and Safe Ride. “Those two groups will present to the senate what they have done this semester,” said Administrative Vice President Emily Fritze. The senate will also review old business as well as the consent agenda. Administrative Vice President-elect Brett Ponton will also present bylaw changes, Fritze said. Ponton was originally scheduled to speak at last week’s meeting. Sen. Tyler Quillin said he would talk about the Peer Mentorship program conference, which took place on Saturday. “The information was solid; I was happy that we did it,” Quillin said.

David Cobb, the 2004 Green Party presidential candidate, gave a presentation at the UA Law School on April 13 describing why citizens should be working towards amending the Constitution. “I am a proud, patriotic and pissed off American,” Cobb said. Cobb’s talk challenged the audience to answer a specific question: Should corporations have the same rights as individual citizens? The Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission that corporations could use money to support or oppose election candidates. “Corporations have assumed the rights of people. They have taken human beings rights, used them and have caused them to become undemocratic,” said CJ Jones, the event coordinator. “Is that where we want the country to go, and, if not, what do we do about it? The answer is a constitutional amendment.” He defends his statement that corporations should not obtain rights by asking the audience how many times the word people is stated in the constitution compared to the number of times corporations is stated. Cobb expressed the need to re-evaluate the country’s democracy and the laws upon which the nation was built. He deconstructed the word democracy to its Greek origin, demo-kratia, which means the people rule. “At the end of the day, we are supposed to be in a democracy,” Cobb said. Many legislators are opposed the ruling as well. “I disagree with the decision of the Supreme

What do you do in your free time? Um, karaoke? (Laughs.) What’s your favorite karaoke song to sing? Oh, definitely “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” Wow, that’s heavy. You go hard. Do you often make people cry? Have you ever brought the house down? No, but I get the crowd involved. This is how I make new friends. Do you ever serenade people? Oh yeah, oh yeah. I get everybody riled up. Essentially, I’m a performer. That’s so ballsy. Karaoke terrifies me. Well, can you sing? No, absolutely not. Well that’s why. I’m a great singer. (Laughs.) What’s one song you would never karaoke? Like a serious one. How is “Total Eclipse of the Heart” not serious? It’s serious to me. Yeah, but if I do something like that, it has to be like, joking. I happen to adore Celine Dion. Would you do a Celine Dion song? No. Well, maybe I would. “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” always speaks to my heart. Oh my god, that’s my favorite one. I get chills every time. Every. Time. But I imagine it would be difficult to karaoke one of her songs, because she’s so damn fabulous. Oh, yeah. It’s a lot to live up to. And you’ll need a French-Canadian accent. And a lot of flair in the form of unnecessary hand gestures. Maybe I could bring a little violin player or something. Do you have little karaoke minions? Or props? You know, I could tell you, but I don’t like to reveal my act. Stage secrets. Got it. Costumes? No, I like to keep it simple. I don’t want to intimidate the crowd. They’re already a little intimidated by my talent. No jazz hands. No jazz hands? Not even a little one? Just off to the side? Maybe just one. I find nothing to be more soothing than a jazz hand. If I gave you a microphone right now, what would you sing? Probably, “Do You Like Piña Coladas?” That’s lovely. All the world is a karaoke stage for you.

Counting sea life, sometimes little things are big WASHINGTON — If the Census Bureau thinks it has its hands full counting Americans, imagine what scientists are up against in trying to tally every living thing in the ocean, including microbes so small they seem invisible. And just try to get them to mail back a form. The worldwide Census of Marine Life has four field projects focusing on hard-to-see sea life such as tiny

microbes, zooplankton, larvae and burrowers in the sea bed. Tiny as individuals, these life forms are massive as groups and provide food that helps underpin better-known living things. “Scientists are discovering and describing an astonishing new world of marine microbial diversity and abundance, distribution patterns and seasonal changes,” said Mitch Sogin of the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole,

Mass., leader of the International Census of Marine Microbes. The Census of Marine Life, which is scheduled to be reported Oct. 4 in London, has involved more than 2,000 scientists from more than 80 nations. The decade-long census has discovered more than 5,000 new forms of marine life. Researchers think there may be several times that many yet to be found. — The Associated Press

Stars turn out for Brooks & Dunn’s ‘Last Rodeo’

LASVEGAS — It was a night filled with laughter and song as country music’s biggest stars turned out to salute Brooks & Dunn during the taping of“ACM Presents: Brooks & Dunn — The Last Rodeo”on Monday at the MGM Grand. Stars like George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Carrie Underwood surprised Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn with renditions of their favorite hits, relayed their fondest memories and even played practical jokes on the groundbreaking duo, who are counting down the days until their final performance together after two decades. “Twenty years,” Taylor Swift joked,“to me that’s like a lifetime.” Swift surprised Dunn with a video that showed him doing an imitation of the 20-year-old sensation’s trademark head shake. “You had no idea how important Brooks & Dunn that moment is because in 20 years that’s the first time I’ve ever seen him mess his hair up,”Brooks told Swift. Faith Hill remembered the group as country’s biggest practical jokers, telling a story from an early 1990s tour on which she opened for the duo. She turned in late one night in her hotel room and got an unwelcome surprise. “I pulled back my covers, tucked myself in bed and there it was: a slimy eel thawing out in my sheets,”Hill said. She sang a poignant rendition of “The Long Goodbye,” then left the stage. A moment later two waiters appeared with takeout boxes for the duo, who sat on stage during the taping. “Oh, it’s eel from Faith,”Brooks said before popping a piece in his mouth. Dunn quipped:“I’ll save mine.” The fun will soon be ending for Brooks & Dunn, who are touring through the summer and will play their final concert on Aug. 10 in Nashville, Tenn. Brad Paisley told the story of how they were solo artists until Tim DuBois at Arista Nashville came up with the idea to put them together, and told them to go write a song and see what happens. Brooks later said they came up with “Brand New Man”and“My Next Broken Heart,”a song played by Paisley, on consecutive days, and the partnership was sealed. “Tim introduced us over an enchilada on a Tuesday morning,”Brooks told the crowd.“He said,‘I don’t need a boy singer, I’ve got Alan Jackson.’” —The Associatd Press

PROTEST

‘This further divides and criminalizes a class of people’

continued from page A1

LIsa Beth Earle/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Susan Baker, a graduate student studying special education, founded the UA chapter of Change for Change. The organization, dedicated to addressing global issues through philanthropy, began at the UA in 2009 and raises funds through community events including dorm collections, bake sales and car washes.

‘Change’ funds scholarships By Alexandra Newman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Susan Baker is a UA graduate student and president of the UA chapter of Change for Change, the first chapter to hit the West Coast. “We’re the first chapter in the West … that’s my little point of pride,”Baker said. The club, which currently has 25 members, is open to all students and majors, though it is mostly a combination of education and business majors. “Today’s young university student, it seems, is really mindful of global issues and making social changes,” Baker said. Change for Change at the UA started in February 2009 and raised about $1,300 in coin collection, plus $2,000 from a benefit dinner in the first two months. This year, its benefit dinner and recent golf tournament raised approximately $6,300, and there’s more. “We’re not even really finished with the year; we’re still going to do some coin collections in the residence halls,” Baker said. “That’s almost $10,000 in a year’s time frame.” The golf tournament was this past weekend at Randolph Golf Course. Those who played paid $80 for 18 holes

of golf, lunch and a goodie bag. “We had so many things to give away,” Baker said. “It was really amazing to get all the generosity of the local businesses and even the university, even in economically challenging times.” Change for Change focuses specifically on donating money to an educational program in rural Guanajuato, Mexico called Resplandor International. The educational community center includes classrooms and dorms for visiting professors, staff and students to stay in ecologically sustainable buildings. Baker said working on the program has been a rewarding experience. “It’s not like an organization where you spend all this time making money, and you don’t get to see where it goes,” she said.“We have members actually going to the center and working with students.” A portion of the funds Change for Change raises goes toward UA student scholarships for those who are interested in doing research projects at the Resplandor Center. “I think it’s a really successful way to organize students to be entrepreneurs and form the aspect of having a larger vision in life,” said Juliana Urtubey, a

graduate student. “I think because we have a very specific purpose our group is able to collaborate so well.” Urtubey said she thinks the key to generating more interest and commitment to the program from students is to take them to Mexico so they can see the value of the community center firsthand. Todd Fletcher, a professor in the College of Education and the Change for Change advisor, said the program is a great opportunity for students to step outside of themselves, experience a different culture and think about others. “Mexico is not a very popular place at the moment, but people have needs that aren’t being met … and anytime that you can focus and work together as a team, there’s so much that can be accomplished,” Fletcher said. Baker said there is a lot of planning to expand the center in the future, which is currently run entirely by volunteers. For now, the group is just trying to fund the basic utilities at the center, such as electricity. “We’d like to at least have a kind of director,”she said.“And in order to build a library and the early intervention center … it’s going to take about $30,000.”

get a veto.” A sheriff in a patrol car and an operator of a Sun Tran bus honked their horns in support. The driver of an official Pima County vehicle also showed support by laying on the horn and even delaying traffic at one point. Another UA student, Ramón Valle, a sociology and public administration junior, sent out about 40 text messages to friends to come to the protest. “I just want us to be heard and for (Brewer) to take in to consideration our view,” said Valle, a member of the Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan. “Mexican Americans have to be interrogated every time they confront a police officer.” The protesters also had the support of some in the religious community as well. Alison Harrington, a pastor at

the Southside Presbyterian Church, came out to support the cause. “I’m here to put pressure on the governor to veto the bill,” Harrington said. “This further divides and criminalizes a class of people.” She added that Arizonans are less secure because of the mistrust between the police and community. Tanner John, a campus minister at the Newman Center, said he expected about 15 student parishioners to attend the protest as well. “The church at large, and especially at the Newman Center, we’re really angry about the lobbying (that) passed and so we’re going to enter into this protest from the Catholic standpoint. We’re protesting against it because we feel it’s unjust, it goes directly against Catholic social teaching,” John said.

The real issue: Obama T

uesday marked the 62nd Israeli celebration of its own Independence Day. Its anniversary is important to more than its citizens, and it is not my aim to make any sort of the typical moral judgments about either Israelis or Palestinians. Rather, I am concerned with 1948’s relevance to Americans, which may soon be forced by President Barack Obama’s policies into the lives of Americans. The event stimulates different memories and reactions. It awakens feelings ranging from joy to sorrow and everything in between. For the Zionists, Tuesday represented the establishment and political independence of the State of Israel. It also marked its subsequent survival in the 1948 War anti-Zionist militaries Dan Greenberg against aimed at conquering Palestine Guest columnist as the last piece of territory for a nation comprised of the former Ottoman provinces in Iraq and Syria. For those disadvantaged by that war, the day represented multiple unfortunate events and the establishment of a status quo consisting of an Israeli state and no Palestinian state — in sum, al-Nakhba, “the Catastrophe.” For the “Western Powers,” however, it was the incomplete conclusion of an effort to unburden itself of the political administration of Palestine. As the same powers can now attest in Iraq, such political commitments are costly indeed. Western powers are still affected by this incomplete conclusion. Unfortunately, what is a remote concern for most Americans may fulfill its potential as a very serious problem as a result of some less-than-diplomatic diplomacy from both Washington and Jerusalem. This has developed into Obama’s explicit insult to Prime Minister Netanyahu, the solidifying White House position that East Jerusalem — land Great Britain, the League of Nations and Jordan all took over and lost control of — is unequivocally Arab land. The danger is that the Palestinians rightfully see this as de facto legitimacy and are likely to use it as a baseline for negotiations. It is doubtful anyone will be able to reverse this international concession of part of Jerusalem to the hands of an unconsolidated Palestinian infrastructure under what one would presume to be a Hamas-dominated government allied with, at least, Syria and Iran. It’s no secret that Obama is willing to bargain softly with these regional players, so it would be foolish of them not to push for more concessions. Obama has already sacrificed multiple American friends in Eastern Europe and Taiwan in the name of fashionable “diplomacy,” so he might as well give up Israel in the same trendy vein. But let’s return to a historical slice of Israeli independence. In 1948, under British passivity, antiZionist forces masked by pan-Arabism pushed the Arab states to war with Israel. Israel has legitimate fears that the fading of American power in the region, a Russia and China-backed nuclear Iran and a staunchly anti-Zionist international bloc could combine with these same antiZionist forces beneath the mask of newer fundamentalist ideologies to push regional states to war. True, the governments of these states are incomparably more secure than they were in 1948, but in the wake of two intifadas and the strongest delegitimization campaign Israel has faced since its establishment 62 years ago, it is quite arguable that anti-Zionism is more fervent than ever. The issue is not about the merits of Zionism. Nor does it assert that Israel is facing impending doom, or that Iranians are bound to use their nuclear weapons for anything but deterrence and prestige. The point is that Obama’s explicit turn against an Israeli Jerusalem could ultimately push America towards militarily supporting Israel more than ever before in an escalating conflict in the center of the Eastern hemisphere. In other words, what Obama has done with his staccato of unwise actions is spoil the ability of either side to reach an effective peace agreement. One should view his tactics not as an assertion of American interests in the face of some mythical ultra-Zionist lobby, but as presidential rhetoric — a limited tool for leverage in the conflict — designed to establish Israel generally and Netanyahu specifically as lightning rods for anti-Western sentiment. The sad fact is that Obama needs someone to blame for a plethora of foreign policies largely devoid of American success, when the only entity really willing to go along with the White House is Congress. Today, Israel is a small issue to the average American. Let us hope that things do not get worse over the following years. —Guest columnist Dan Greenberg is a near eastern studies senior.

MAILBAG Letters to the editor KFC comments disgusting

Trigger happy

For those who despise illegal immigration and drug wars, take note: The facility with which Mexican drug cartels can now purchase firearms in this state fuels drug conflicts south of the border, which drives refuges north seeking asylum. It also escalates violence along the border; where else did the border-crossers find guns with which to shoot that southern Arizona rancher several days ago? Mexico? Entire Mexican towns have been depopulated as a result of these drug wars, and “defending” gun rights by making them easier to purchase and easier to hide merely exacerbates this problem. This radical and ideological defense of 2nd Amendment is disgusting. — Kevin Keys Math and linguistics senior

Quote from The Daily Wildcat editorial policy: “online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinions of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.” This kind of claim is outrageous, as choices for the mailbag obviously reflect upon not only the newspaper but also the university. By choosing opinions, you are giving this opinion grounds and a platform. The Daily Wildcat has a responsibility to uphold the standards of what kind of opinions they give platforms to. This particular opinion was a hate speech and a personal attack; it was outrageous, and I am truly appalled it appeared in the newspaper. It is obvious that this newspaper reaches the entire nation as we ourselves even publish editorial opinions from other schools. I do respect the right to express an opinion, but this was a hateful attack. My favorite included the claims that not liking KFC IS COMMUNISM and that“liberal-ass”california where they“take so much pride in harboring illegal citizens,” which he later refers to absolutely illegal. These are not opinions but serious attacks. It was disgusting. — Michael James Kolt

‘Tremendous loss for Tucson and the university’

Vote Smart will be expanding its services and splitting them between its two new satellite locations. The USC campus will focus on testing a candidate’s platform against his voting record, and the UT campus will work to provide citizens with a detailed synopsis of local candidates’ positions on issues. “I can’t think of a non-partisan organization I respect more than this one,” said Erich Saphir, the coordinator of Vote Smart internships for Pima Community College. “This is a tremendous loss for Tucson and the

The participants were also given a tour of the university. “We did a major exploration workshop presentation as well,” Quillin said. “We will definitely do it again next year, hopefully in the fall.” Quillin also plans on requesting a senate funds reallocation. The Peer Mentorship program was given $300 for the conference,

Quillin would like $100 of the funds to go towards an end of the year event for the 16 mentors, all of which are unpaid volunteers. “It would be a fun way to thank them for their dedication. Through this program, you get the experience of working with ASUA and helping other people,” Quillin said. This will be the second to

First-year writing students get creative By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Pop-up books and bumper stickers were some of the items in the UA writing showcase. Students had the opportunity to creatively present topics about which they felt passionate at the first-year writing showcase. More than 400 first-year writing students presented a broad range of topics Tuesday in the Student Union Memorial Center Grand Ballroom. Mounds of popcorn were served as students had a chance to present and explore projects in an exhibit-like fashion. The showcase focused on visual-spatial writing, which allowed students to take writing beyond a typical research paper. “They get an actual response from a public group unlike oftentimes they would get with their papers,”

said Christopher Minnix, the assistant director of the UA writing program. Minnix said he thinks the writing showcase process gives students a real knowledge of how to argue and the opportunity to explore something about which they feel passionate. Students are allowed to choose their topics and present them in the manner they see fit. Jeff Gluck, an engineering freshman, created brochures and used body art to argue for lowering the drinking age. Gluck said he enjoyed the creative leeway the showcase allowed. “It’s really interesting to get everyone’s views on these controversial issues,” Gluck said. “Our jobs are going to involve solving these.” Jackie Dumagpi, a physiology freshman, had a personal connection to her topic. She was inspired to do her project on creating

stricter DUI laws after she had a friend die while driving drunk. Dumagpi said doing the project was at times difficult because of her personal connection, but she found the research rewarding. “It’s been awesome; I got to learn more about something I’m interested in and talk about it,” Dumagpi said. “Personally, writing is not my favorite topic, but seeing it in this form make me more interested in it.” Mariana Ceja, a freshman majoring in special education and rehabilitation and Spanish and Portuguese, created a children’s pop up book to teach about organic farms. “It took me a lot of time watching videos and websites to see how to make it,” Ceja said. Ceja said she enjoyed seeing what everyone else had developed and the chance to be creative.

Be a Leader. Make a Difference. By Melanie Fleck, Outreach Specialist & Erin Strange, Oasis Violence Prevention Specialist

Have you ever noticed a situation on campus that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem right and you thought you should do something? Did you wonder how the situation could have been changed if you had said or done something to stop it? The good news: youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. According to Campus

Health Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Health and Wellness Survey from 2009, 32% of UA students have been in a situation where intervention was needed to ensure someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal safety. Step Up! is an interactive program that teaches students and staff how to safely and effectively intervene in harmful or potentially harmful situations. The Step Up! Violence Prevention program encourages students to intervene in harmful situations, and empowers students to be the ďŹ rst to Step Up! Workshops teach students how to determine if the harmful or potentially harmful event is an emergency or non-emergency, and provides tools to intervene either directly or indirectly. Topics covered include sexual assault, relationship violence, bullying, hazing, discrimination, and alcohol abuse. The Step Up! training is highly interactive using videos, group

discussions, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;clickerâ&#x20AC;? questions. Most students ďŹ nd the 5 decision making steps to be incredibly useful. First, students must notice the event. Second, that event must be interpreted as a problem or an emergency. Then, students must assume personal responsibility and have the skills to intervene. Finally they must Step Up! and do the right thing! What can you do to begin stepping up in your everyday life? Step Up! encourages students to use the S.E.E. Model: safe responding, early and effective intervention. Safe responding, either direct or indirect, is needed to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Early intervention is needed to stop the problem before it becomes a crisis or emergency. Effective intervention consists of using the most appropriate skills for each situation.

SAFER

to Improved Fitness! By Mark Zakrzewski, M.A., Director of Fitness, Department of Campus Recreation

Taking the stairs instead of an elevator is a commonly recommended method for increasing daily physical activity and burning calories. On average, an individual will burn about 2.6 calories walking both up and down a typical ďŹ&#x201A;ight of stairs between ďŹ&#x201A;oors. At ďŹ rst glance this does not sound like a large ďŹ gure. However, if someone working on the fourth ďŹ&#x201A;oor used the stairs four times a day, that individual would burn approximately 200 additional calories over the course of a ďŹ ve day work week. 200 calories is the equivalent of 30 minutes of moderate cycling or stepping on a traditional stair master machine. In addition to the added

A 2008 study from University Hospital of Geneva* reported that subjects who increased the ďŹ&#x201A;ights of stairs they took each day from 5 to 23 over a 12 week period demonstrated signiďŹ cant improvements in body composition, aerobic capacity and blood pressure. While taking the stairs is certainly a positive step toward a healthy lifestyle, the American College

of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association recommend a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate cardiovascular activity 5 days a week. This is best achieved by choosing a variety of activities such as brisk walking, swimming, cycling, aerobics classes and cardiovascular machines such as elliptical cross trainers and stair steppers. If you are looking to incorporate stair stepping into your physical activity program, the Department of Campus Recreationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ tness center has a variety of stair stepping options to

6 STEPS

STEP #1

Eat when hungry, stop when full. Seems simple, but this could make a big difference. Avoid mindless eating. Eat foods you really like and savor them, take smaller bites, chew well, take your time. Avoid eating right from the bag, carton, or box; take out a satisfying serving and put the rest away. Go

about conďŹ dentiality thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to fret. All campus health staff will protect your privacy and must keep your visit strictly conďŹ dential. If you bill the visit fees to your Bursarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Account, your statement will simply say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Campus Healthâ&#x20AC;? and will not specify that you received psychological services or why you were seen. Hopefully, if you realize that you are having a rough time, you can take steps to help! For any other information you can call CAPS at (520) 621-3334.

Make healthy late night and study snack choices. Balance carbohydrates with protein. Include some nuts, tuna, deli meat, cheese, yogurt, or milk with your carbohydrate snacks like fruit, veggies, crackers, pretzels, popcorn, etc.

STEP #5

Eat something (â&#x20AC;&#x153;breakfastâ&#x20AC;?) within an hour of waking up to get your metabolism running and to avoid â&#x20AC;&#x153;catch upâ&#x20AC;? eating later in the day.

Be sure to take your Catcard with you. You will be asked to ďŹ ll out basic paperwork and explain why you would like to be seen. Then you will talk with the triage counselor about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bothering you. Generally, you will then be scheduled to meet with a therapist. If you have concerns

Plan ahead. Buy handy foods to carry with you during the day (see sidebar), whether it is a whole meal or snacks. Get some Baggies and pack foods the night before. Use an insulated lunch bag with blue ice for refrigerated items.

Take a multivitamin/mineral daily (with food) as an insurance policy against the gaps that can occur when hectic schedules undo your best intentions.

Finally saw your reflection?

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was called to the Henry Koffler building at 1340 E. University Blvd. on Thursday at 3:58 p.m. after someone reported screams coming form a bathroom. The person reporting the incident said there were screams and loud banging noises coming from a bathroom in the basement of the building. When the officer went to the basement bathroom, he did not see any damage done to the room. At 4:17 p.m., the building monitor called UAPD to report that all of the mirrors in the bathroom on the main floor had been shattered. The officer arrived at the bathroom on the main floor. He did not see any blood or tools that could have been used to break the mirrors. The bathroom was secured, and maintenance was notified. There were no suspects or witnesses. A victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights form was sent to UA Risk Management.

Man throws marijuana to officer

A UAPD officer arrived at the Coronado Residence Hall on Friday at 11:31 p.m. after a resident assistant called to report an odor of marijuana coming from one of the dorm rooms. When the officer arrived, he could smell a strong scent of fresh marijuana coming from the reported room. While the officer was speaking with the resident assistant, another UAPD officer, who was waiting outside of the residence hall, saw a man from the fifth floor throw two baggies of marijuana out the window. The officer retrieved the bags and took them to the fifth floor. After the officer knocked on the dorm room door, a man answered and identified himself as the resident of the room. The officer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for throwing that marijuana down to my officer.â&#x20AC;? The man replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh fuck! I threw that to an officer?â&#x20AC;? The man told the officer that the marijuana was his and that he bought it for $120 from an unknown person somewhere near Speedway Boulevard and Country Club Drive. After searching the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the room, the officer did not find any other drugs or paraphernalia. The man was cited and released for possession of marijuana. The marijuana was placed into property as evidence. The RA told the officer that the Community Director would be notified of the incident and a Code of Conduct referral would be sent to the Dean of Students.

Thirsty much?

A UAPD officer arrived at the Coronado Residence Hall on Friday at 10:08 p.m., after an RA reported underage students drinking in a dorm room. The RA told the officer that, while she was doing her rounds, she heard loud voices coming from two adjoining rooms. When she knocked on the door, she heard someone say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shhh, quiet, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the RAs. Put the stuff away.â&#x20AC;? After knocking again, the doors to both rooms were opened. The RA said that there must have been at least 20 people inside the rooms. While collecting CatCards, some people were able to get away. Twelve people remained in the room. Once the officer had arrived, he counted the 12 people sitting in the hallway. They were all being very rowdy. Each person was identified by a CatCard â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except one who was identified by his high school ID card. Each person admitted to drinking in the dorm room except the high school student. They were all cited and released at the scene. The high school student told the officer that he had not been drinking, but a PBT test showed the man had alcohol in his system. The man refused to sign his citation, and he was transported to Pima County Jail. The RA told the officer that about 100 Keystone Light beer cans were taken from one of the rooms, half of which were opened or empty. Also in the room were two empty handles of Absolut vodka and a fifth of JosĂŠ Cuervo that was nearly empty. In the adjoining room, the RAs found nearly 70 cans of unopened Keystone Light beer, a case of Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hard Lemonade, a bottle of Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Cream, a handle of Bacardi Limon, a handle of Captain Morgan spiced rum, a 40-ounce bottle of Bud Light and more. Photos of the alcohol were taken and placed into property as evidence. All of the alcohol was emptied, and the bottles were thrown out. All of the students had Code of Conduct referrals sent to the Dean of Students.

FDA calls for mandatory reduction of salt in food THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — America’s long and dangerous love affair with salty food may be coming to an end. After more than 40 years of failed efforts to reduce salt in processed and restaurant food voluntarily, a new report calls on the Food and Drug Administration to establish mandatory standards that gradually reduce sodium content in the nation’s food supply. The report by the Institute of Medicine recommends that the FDA, working with the food industry, limit the amount of salt that restaurants, food manufacturers and food service companies could add to their products. In a statement, the FDA said it hadn’t decided whether to move on the report. “Over the coming weeks, the FDA will more thoroughly review the recommendations of the IOM report and build plans for how the FDA can continue to work with other federal agencies, public health and consumer groups and the food industry to support the reduction of sodium levels in the food supply,” the statement said.“The Department of Health and Human Services will be establishing an interagency working group on sodium at the department that will review options and next steps.” Health officials say it’s a matter of life and death. Eating too much salt can lead to hypertension, or high blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease, kidney failure and stroke. One in three U.S. adults — nearly 75 million people 20 or older — suffer from hypertension, and another 50 million adults suffer from pre-hypertension. “The vast majority of the U.S. population is consuming sodium at levels that are simply too high to be safe,”said Jane E. Henney, a professor of medicine at the University of Cincinnati and the chair of the Institute of Medicine committee that authored the report.“This is an urgent public health problem.” About 88 percent of the U.S population age 2 and older consumes more sodium each day than is recommended. On average, Americans ingest about 3,400 milligrams of sodium each day, or about 1.5 teaspoons of salt. Experts have said they should consume no more than 2,300 milligrams,

or 1 teaspoon a day. People older than 50 should ingest even less. Lowering daily sodium intake even further, to 1,500 milligrams, would prevent more than 100,000 deaths a year and save billions in medical costs, Henney said. The new recommendations would reduce sodium content and consumption incrementally without sacrificing flavor that consumers love. If it’s done correctly over the course of several years, most people won’t even notice the change in their diets, Henney said. Under the Institute of Medicine plan, acceptable sodium levels set by the FDA would vary by food groups such as meats, breads and grains, beverages, soups and condiments. Since most dietary salt is consumed through prepared meals and processed or packaged foods, the recommendations are directed at food manufacturers and food-preparation industries. The report calls for increasing FDA staff and funding to implement the changes and monitor compliance with the new initiative. “The committee recommends that the FDA expeditiously begin the process of gathering information and initiating” action on the proposal, Henney said. The Grocery Manufacturers Association, which represents the world’s leading food

and beverage companies, applauded the proposal and said the food industry had been working for several years to reduce sodium in products and provide consumers with healthier food choices. In a statement, the group said, “We look forward to working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to develop a national sodium reduction strategy that will help consumers.” The National Restaurant Association praised the proposal’s incremental approach, saying consumers would suffer if drastic recipe changes were mandated quickly. “Without customer acceptance, there will be no measurable change in consumer behavior,” said Scott DeFife, the association’s executive vice president. Lori Roman, the president of the Salt Institute, which represents salt producers, bashed the proposal, however, saying it ignored the medical benefits of salt for some people. Roman said the FDA should conduct clinical trials before implementing the plan. “They’re talking about limiting sodium for an entire population and there’s no clinical evidence to support that, and they have refused to do randomized clinical trials to get the support and scientific evidence they would need to take such drastic measures,” Roman said.

Florida fraternity shut down after beating THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ORLANDO, Fla. — A University of Central Florida fraternity has been shut down after allegations surfaced that members beat a pledge with canes. An official at the national office of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity issued its UCF chapter a cease-and-desist order April 1 after reports surfaced about “illegal and unlawful activity” at the fraternity. “This means the chapter is officially closed and is not authorized to conduct business or function as an entity on or off campus of the University of Central Florida,” wrote Ronald Range, an officer at the fraternity’s Tuscaloosa, Ala., office. Reports show the mother of a UCF student had called the university in the fall and claimed that her son had been severely beaten with canes by the fraternity brothers during a hazing initiation. The allegations forced UCF officials to temporarily suspend all on-campus fraternities in late September 2009. “The voluntary suspension of activities was requested out of an abundance of caution as we reviewed the information we had available at the time,” UCF spokesman Grant Heston said. Heston said the suspension

lasted a few days and UCF officials currently are “monitoring the situation.” It is unclear if the University of Central Florida Police Department has investigated the case. Calls to the Police Department were not returned to the Orlando Sentinel on Tuesday. Although Range emphasized in his letter to the fraternity that “all hazing … is prohibited” by the organization’s policies and regulations, it is not the first time its fraternity brothers have been accused of beating pledges. Five Kappa Alpha Psi brothers from Florida A&M University were charged in 2007 with violating a new state law that makes it a felony, with a five-year maximum prison sentence, to commit an act of hazing resulting in serious bodily injury. Court records show five fraternity members struck Marcus Jones, of Decatur, Ga., with wooden canes on his backside during a hazing ritual in 2006. The fraternity brothers also hit Jones with boxing gloves. Jones suffered a broken eardrum. Records show a jury convicted fraternity brothers Michael Morton, of Fort Lauderdale, and Jason Harris, of Jacksonville in the beating. They were sentenced to two years in prison. The other three defendants each received a minor sentence, including probation, 30 days in a work camp or a similar program.

season review

Gymcats show promise for future

No. 17 Arizona 4, No. 1 ASU 2

Wildcats outlast Devils

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona gymnastics team faced great adversity this year but came out of the turmoil with a positive outlook for the future. Prior to the season, several Gymcats endured injuries that severely weakened the depth of the team. The injuries involved key gymnasts who were expected to be a big part of the rotation, and the team was forced to move on with inexperienced freshmen filling that void. Despite every roadblock, the Gymcats still secured a 10-10 record, finishing as the No. 21 squad in the nation and fourth in a Pacific 10 Conference considered to be one of the best gymnastics leagues in the NCAA. “We were handed some tough situations,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “But the way the team competed and the end result, I was happy.” Due to the injuries, freshmen Aubree Cristello and Molly Quirk were able to step into the spotlight and showcase their talents. They were two of the three Gymcats named to the Pac-10 All-Conference team. Their dazzling performances were especially startling due to the gymnasts’ inexperience. Few girls can compete in the all-around — Cristello and Quirk are among them, doing so without any prior collegiate experience. The third Gymcat to earn first team all-conference honors was also the lone Gymcat to earn a trip to nationals — sophomore Deanna Graham. She earned a spot after her all-around performance at regionals in UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. “She is practicing hard. Her training has been going great,” Ryden said. “I am confident in her skills, and I think she is confident also.” Sophomore Katie Matusik was able to come back from a fractured ankle to become a large contributor to the team. The entire team was surprised at how fast Matusik recovered from her injury and how effectively she competed once she returned. Matusik was forced to be a spectator for the first half of the season, but by the latter half she had fought her way back into the rotation. gymcats, page 11

UA second baseman Robert Refsnyder safely slides into the bag during Arizona’s 4-2 victory at ASU on Tuesday. Arizona’s victory snapped the Sun Devils’ 28-game home winning streak.

Baseball pitches way to win over No. 1 ASU By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat Strong pitching and slick defense gave the No. 17 Arizona baseball team its first win over rival No. 1 ASU since May 2007 in a 4-2 nail-biter Tuesday night in Tempe. “If (ASU) were ranked 25th or 50th, it would still mean a great deal to beat them at home against a hostile crowd,” said freshman second baseman Robert Refsnyder.“Any way we can beat ASU, it’s a great feeling.” The Wildcats quickly found themselves in a hole Tuesday night before the first pitch was even thrown. Freshman Cory Bernard, who had a huge pinch-hit single in the bottom of the ninth inning in Sunday’s win over Washington State, severely hurt his arm in the bullpen as he was warming up to start the game for Arizona (27-9, 8-5 Pacific 10 conference play). Minutes before the game, head coach Andy Lopez was without a starting pitcher and handed the ball to redshirt junior Daniel Workman. “It was kind of a spur of the

moment thing 20 minutes before the game,” Workman said. “That’s just one thing we always prepare for. They’ve had me out of the (bullpen), and I’ve been prepped to go ahead and get hot quick.” The lanky right-hander stepped up to give the Wildcats 6 1/3 innings of work, allowing just two runs and giving Arizona a boost of confidence against one of the Pac-10’s best offenses. With the high energy palpable at ASU’s Packard Stadium, the young Arizona team couldn’t get down mentally facing its biggest rival and No. 1 team in the country. Down 2-0 with one out in the fourth, senior Rafael Valenzuela took a pitch to the leg and wasted no time stealing second to give the Wildcats a scoring opportunity. After right fielder Steve Selsky walked, Refsnyder perfectly placed a groundball through the right side to score Valenzuela and cut the Sun Devil lead in half. “It was a hit and run, and I was fortunate to come through. It was a good feeling,” Refsynder said.

With Selsky at third base, freshman third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean laced a sacrifice fly to left field to knot things up at 2-2. With two outs, redshirt sophomore Bobby Brown dug in and launched a ball off the center-field wall to score Refsnyder, and Arizona took a 3-2 lead. Meanwhile, Workman had settled into a groove, mixing off-speed pitches and painting his fastball to keep the Sun Devils off balance. “I was able to establish my off-speed pitches for some strikes and build off that,”Workman said.“Any time you can throw a pitch for a strike and establish it, a hitter has to respect it.” Workman retired his final 12 hitters consecutively and handed the one-run lead to the Arizona bullpen. Freshman Alex Mejia is known for his great glove, and he again proved why he has had no problems taking over the starting shortstop role by making a clutch barehanded play in the ninth, and soon after, fully extending to his left on a hot shot up the middle to prevent a rally situation

for ASU (30-4, 9-4). “Boy, Alex Mejia put on a show tonight at short(stop),” Lopez said. “(Mejia) made every play he possibly could. He executed it, grabbing the ball, throwing off-balance,” Workman added.“He did it all tonight.” Sophomore Bryce Bandilla along with freshmen Augey Bill and Nick Cunningham kept the vaunted ASU offense at two until the last out was made, and the Wildcats ended their five-game losing streak to the Sun Devils with the 4-2 win. There were doubts on how the youthful Wildcats would react to the intensity of the ASU rivalry. For Lopez, all the doubts were put to rest from the moment he saw his team step off the bus. “I saw them get off the bus, and I saw them stretch, saw the look in their eye and I thought we’d be OK,” Lopez said. “On the road is a tough place to go, especially a place like this with all the adversity and the rivalry,”Lopez added. “Our freshmen are very young but they’re getting older by the minute.”

How can the NCAA regulate W-golf a ‘gray area’ of social media bylaws? in second By Bryan Roy Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona gymnastics assistant John Court wanted to follow a social norm when he wished a prospective recruit “Happy Birthday” on Facebook. Little did he know the simple gesture would open a Pandora’s box of intricate NCAA bylaw interpretations. Court approached UA’s compliance coordinator of eligibility Gretchen Bouton for clarification. “I said ‘No, you can’t write that on her wall.’You can send them a private message, as an e-mail, but you can’t write anything on the wall because it’s public,” Bouton said she told Court. The complexity of these daily interactions exemplifies the way bylawconscious coaches cover themselves with every click and keystroke when interacting with unsigned recruits. Last spring, Bouton pioneered an innovative social media code of conduct to protect UA athletes from damaging photos and information. By mandating that student-athletes utilize privacy settings on websites like Facebook and MySpace, the UA became a pioneer in proactive social media regulations. But that was a year ago. Today, MySpace is out and Twitter is in. Dozens of UA athletes tweet today, unmonitored in a widespread cyber-culture too new for NCAA

rules to regulate. “Last year at this time, Facebook and Twitter and those kinds of things were some of the folks that were on the cutting edge,” said UA compliance director Bill Morgan. “Now everyone is doing it. Next year there will be something else. “It’s just very difficult for a bureaucracy to keep up with that kind of stuff,” he added.“The reality or how it should be used or how the rules should be adapted to make this sort of thing work appropriately is difficult.” The members of the UA men’s basketball team have a combined total of almost 10,000 followers on Twitter alone. On Facebook, the team has tens of thousands of friends. This kind of reach can be a powerful tool in the recruiting world. Earlier this offseason, UA freshman point guard Momo Jones expressed his eagerness for high-profile recruits Ray McCallum and Josh Selby to sign with Arizona. Although neither recruit ended up at UA, Jones conveying his good intentions through a Facebook status update tiptoed a gray area in NCAA bylaws: “Just spoke to the Lil Homie Ray McCallum. Told him it would be great to have him in the backcourt with me next year. Pac 10 would definitely be riding the wave of this new AZ Legacy. Josh Selby you already know Lil Bro come join ya boy. Jones, Ray, Josh

Selby in the backcourt,” Jones said on his Facebook.“RAY AND SELBY AND ZONAZOO WHAT YALL THINK BOUT THAT?” Interpreting the NCAA bylaws involves a combination of existing rules. There’s no “social media” statute specifically prohibiting certain messages on Facebook or Twitter. However, the NCAA could interpret such behavior as a violation of rules prohibiting the publicization of a recruiting trip through media. “I don’t think our studentathletes, rule-wise, they can’t announce anything the way we can’t,” Morgan said, “… that’s one of those areas where a new technology and the old rules really butt heads. I’m reasonably certain that there is an interpretation out there about student athletes not doing that sort of thing.” UA wing Kevin Parrom also voiced a similar recruiting plea on Twitter: “Zona zoo, wassup? I love ya’ll to death. Zona zoo we need to get ... jack, josh selby or get the upgraded version of kevin parrom.” The NCAA has always been slow adopting new bylaws to technological advances. In 2007, text message was banned from coachto-recruit interactions. “The NCAA can’t keep up fast enough,” Bouton said. UA’s student-athlete social media

guidelines were mainly designed to protect athletes from controversial material and photos. Bouton said UA and Stanford lead the Pacific 10 Conference in such policies, as both were asked to speak at a conference last summer. There’s also a fine line between shielding athletes from Internet gossip and the nonstop media-frenzy and violating freedom of speech. “You get into free speech, and we’re telling them set the privacy settings. We don’t care what you say to your friends but just don’t have it to go across the world in for your own benefit,” Morgan said. “The reason we’re doing it is to try and basically protect them from themselves, which sounds Big Brother-ish, but a lot of them don’t understand the kinds of things that can happen.” The UA doesn’t specifically designate someone to monitor athletes’ social media usage, leaving that responsibility up to the coaches themselves. But those around the Pac-10 landscape keep a close eye on their competition — like coaches keeping tabs other coaches’ friendships with recruits. Arizona basketball coach Sean Miller told the Daily Wildcat last spring that he doesn’t use Twitter. “He thinks Twitter can be trouble,” UA point guard Nic Wise said of his coach’s social media absence.

After the second round of play in the Pacific 10 Conference Championships, the Arizona women’s golf team sits in second place, three strokes behind leader UCLA. As a team, the Wildcats shot six strokes higher than in the first round, in part due to senior Alejandra Llaneza’s 10-over-par round of 82. Sophomore Nikki Koller posted a 6-over-par 78. UA climbed up the leader board, however, in part due to sophomore Margarita Ramos, who became the first Arizona golfer to break par in the tournament as she shot a 1-under-par 71. First-round leader ASU did not finish the second round, and had two golfers withdraw from the tournament. The individual leader after two rounds is ASU’s Carlota Ciganda, who sits at 1-under-par after posting scores of 71 in the first round and 72 in the second. Sherlyn Popelka, a freshman from Zurich, Switzerland, is UA’s highestscoring individual, tied for sixth place at 2-over-par. Ramos, who is in a tie for eighth at 3-over-par, is the only other Arizona golfer in the top 10. The third and final round will be played today, with the winner receiving an automatic berth to participate in the NCAA Tournament. Arizona is all but guaranteed a berth due to its performance in the regular season.

Quirky frosh finds a home By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona softball’s hot corner is blowing up. Third baseman Brigette Del Ponte is having the biggest impact for the Wildcats this season. Her play both in the batters’ box and on the field has proven that she is the most productive freshman in Division I softball. “(I’m) not amazed, I expect it out of myself,” Del Ponte said. “I expect more of myself, actually. I need to do better.” With four grand slams, a teamleading 17 home runs and a nationleading 58 RBIs, how much better could she do? Although most infield players are much taller and though she entered the season with her position undefined, Del Ponte has found a home at third base. By any one else’s standards, Del Ponte’s numbers are remarkable. But not by her own. “I need to get base hits,”she said.“A base hit each game is my goal. No 0-fors.” Never satisfied, Del Ponte has elevated her game to a higher standard. Her attitude is keeping her game above average and her head clear at the plate. The shortest player on the field has a quick glove and an even quicker mouth.

“She’s a competitor,” said Arizona head coach Mike Candrea . “She comes to play.” It’s the intensity that she brings to the game that keeps her confident in a conference as strong as the Pacific 10. It’s the little things that give her a bubbly swagger. Her response after Arizona’s 14-2 win over ASU on April 3 speaks for itself. “Yeah, we knew we could beat the crap out of ASU, because, yeah, we’re that good,” said Del Ponte with a smile. To the talkative third baseman, the usual courtesies to opponents don’t apply. It’s her cocky-but-collected attitude that has kept Del Ponte levelheaded throughout the season. “I can be shy, but I’m definitely a goofy person when you get to know me,” Del Ponte said. “I’m not that mature,” she said. “I’m still a little kid.” Her teammates, who have described her as an airhead, ascribe the lightspirited Del Ponte’s success to a balance between preparation for and enjoyment of the game. “She doesn’t think too much into it,” said left fielder Brittany Lastrapes. “She just goes up there and swings the bat.” The proclaimed lover of Disney movies was prevented from enrolling

until January because of her ACT scores. Despite not playing fall ball with the rest of the team, Del Ponte has become an integral part of the infield. But it’s her mellow demeanor about her late start that has allowed her to catch up with the rest of the team. Once she stepped on the field, it was all business for Del Ponte. “I work really hard. I come out before practices and I go to the tee and work on my inside outside,” Del Ponte said. “I go and I watch video with Coach a lot to see what I can change to make myself that much better.” As the Wildcats dive deeper into the Pac-10 season, Del Ponte’s numbers continue to improve. The intensity she brings to the game has only increased as the season goes one. “She’s just a freshman, you know?”Lastrapes said.“It’s awesome to see her succeed.”

GYMCATS

Injuries held back season potential

continued from page 10

By the end of the season, Matusik was competing in the beam and floor events, and even practicing her bar routines. “We only had 12 girls on the team from the beginning, so when we three of us went down in December, it was a bad situation,” Matusik said. “Everyone that was healthy made the best of it, and everyone on this team has so much heart and passion, and that kind of made up for the lack of bodies.” The end of the season also marks the end of lone senior Sarah Tomczyk’s athletic career. The team veteran was in her fifth year in the program after taking a medical redshirt during her freshman year. In 2010, Tomczyk led the Gymcats and was often the most reliable gymnast on the team. And while the Gymcats are losing their senior leader, the future still looks bright. Ryden expects nothing but improvement next season. “There was so much more good that came out of this season then bad,” Ryden said. “It’s definitely a memorable season, a season that we can all remember fondly, as opposed to a season that we would like to forget.”

He knew he was going to get a degree but had no idea what in. In fact, he said he felt “completely lost” when contemplating the choice of majors. Dan started out majoring in Psychology but soon found he had no interest in that field at which point he switched to Political Science, an area he did find interesting.

For a current listing of school districts attending this event and the types of teaching positions they are looking for, go to www. career.arizona.edu, click on “Students” and then “Fairs and Events”.
