Less sleep, greater appetite

Recent study shows link between sleep deprivation and increased calorie intake

By John Kuells ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For a college student, pulling an all-nighter is a rite of passage. But watch out for your waistline because a new study shows that sleep deprivation may lead to increased caloric intake.

The study, conducted by MariePierre St-Onge, a research associate at Columbia University’s New York Obesity Research Center, showed that when subjects were exposed to four hours of sleep they consumed significantly more calories the next day in comparison to when they

slept nine hours.

For the six-day study, St-Onge had 14 men and 13 women randomly exposed to four and nine hour intervals of sleep. The next day, the subjects were exposed to “typical meals that one would eat at home” including items like bagels, turkey sandwiches, cookies, frozen entrees, yogurt and vegetables. The nutritional values of the food they consumed were logged.

The study showed that the average calorie intake of the subjects was nearly 300 calories more on the day after they were subjected to less sleep. Additionally, male

subjects’ caloric intake was 263 after less sleep, in comparison to women’s average of 329.

St-Onge said she did not know why women consumed more calories than men, but noticed that fat intake was “more pronounced in women” and that her research group is currently looking into the actual foods chosen by the subjects while sleep-deprived to look for further trends.

“It varied greatly between individuals,” St-Onge said. “We can say that ice cream was a favorite.”

She said past research has linked sleep problems with obesity, but her

study brings the scientific world one step closer to proving causation.

“There have been epidemiological studies that have shown a link between sleep and obesity,” St-Onge said. “I wanted to see if there was a potential causal effect.”

Tucker Peck, a graduate student in the UA’s doctoral program in clinical psychology, said the hormone ghrelin might be to blame.

“When you don’t sleep much, your body secretes more ghrelin, and ghrelin makes you want to eat more,” Peck said. “Worse yet, grhelin also increases your desire for quick rewards, so you might want to eat

more sugar and junk food.”

In addition to ghrelin, Peck said sleep deprivation leads to a decrease in leptin, a hormone that makes you feel full.

“So when you’re not sleeping, your body has more of the signal saying ‘keep eating’ and less of the signal saying ‘stop eating,’” Peck said.

Peck, who has been researching sleep since 2004, said that though hormone imbalances are an aspect of sleep deprivation, they are not definitely the root cause of increased calorie intake and it may be a SLEEP, page 3

Forum to address mental health

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Mental health experts from Tucson and around the nation will host a community forum today in response to the Jan. 8 shooting.

The forum, called “A Delicate Balance: Creating a Better PostJan. 8 System to Protect the Public and Help Persons with Serious Mental Illness,” will feature eight panelists as well as keynote speaker Dr. Thomas R. Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health. The UA College of Medicine will host the event in conjunction with community organizations and sponsors, including the Community Partnership of Southern Arizona and the Arizona Daily Star.

Insel will receive the Schorr Family Award for Distinguished Contribution in Furthering Public Understanding of Mental Health at the event. The award is presented through the University of Arizona Foundation and recognizes a person or organization that has helped further public awareness and understanding of mental illness.

Insel will be the 13th recipient of the award, and the presentation usually features one or two speakers, said Si Schorr, who founded the award with his wife. This year’s event reflects community concerns about mental health and treatment after the Jan. 8 shooting.

“How do you create a better system to protect the public and serve the mentally ill?”

Schorr said. “These are concerns the community has always had. We need to address them in a much better way than we have in the past.”

Panelists will speak about the effects of mental illness, the role of intervention and available resources in Southern Arizona.

Speeches will be short to allow time for a question-and-answer session, Schorr said.

The annual Take Back the Night event is hosted by OASIS with the support of campus organizations such as the Women’s Resource Center. About 400 students and community members marched from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center to the Women’s Plaza of Honor on Tuesday, with Wilbur Wildcat at the head of the march.

Hundreds rally to end sexual violence at Take Back the Night

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

About 400 students and community members marched, chanted and shared their stories on campus on Monday during Take Back the Night, an event to speak out against sexual violence.

The UA’s OASIS program hosted the annual event in collaboration with other campus organizations such as the Women’s Resource Center and Fraternity & Sorority Programs. The march went from the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center to the Women’s Plaza of Honor, where various speakers explained the importance of ending sexual violence.

Keynote speaker Emily May, founder of Hollaback, a movement dedicated to ending street harassment using mobile technology, said that the event was proof that people around the world are taking action to make a world without sexual violence.

“The revolution (against sexual violence) will be built by badasses,” she said. “This was very, very badass.”

May explained that sharing stories of sexual violence is the start to creating change and awareness and that every individual has the right to define themselves on their own terms.

“It’s not a game of hot or not,” she added.

UA receives grant for cancer education

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Low-income women at risk for cervical cancer will be eligible for follow-up care with the help of a new grant awarded to a researcher at the Arizona Cancer Center.

Dr. Jesse Nodora, a scholar of the Cancer Health Disparities Institute and an assistant professor in family and

community medicine, said the five-year, $687,000 grant will be used for a randomized clinical trial study slated to begin in July of this year. The American Cancer Society provided the funds for the American Cancer Society Mentored Research Scholar Grant.

Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and an elementary education senior, said that this was the second year she attended Take Back the Night.

She liked that the community came together for the event.

“We as women need to take a stance and stand up for our rights,” she said. “No means no.”

In addition to the march and guest speakers, the event included “Survivor Speak-outs,” which allowed survivors of sexual violence to share their stories with the community.

“One hundred voices are greater than one voice, but one voice is still strong,” said Liza Pluto, a communications sophomore who attended the march.

Multiple organizations tabled at the event included Campus Health Service, the Southern Arizona Gender Alliance, ASUA Pride Alliance, the Vagina Warriors, Vox: Voices for Planned Parenthood, the Dean of Students Office and more.

The tables offered items like snow cones, popcorn, condoms and rape whistles for participants to take.

Carl Segal, a marketing sophomore, came with his fellow Delta Chi fraternity members and said that he did so in order to show support for the good causes that the campus brings.

“It’s important for a large group to come in order to shell an impact,” he said.

International forces Americans fear nuclear blamed for prison break accident likely McClatchy Tribune

McClatchy Tribune

WASHINGTON — Most Americans fear that the United States someday could face the kind of nuclear emergency that’s plagued Japan in recent weeks, according to a new McClatchy NewspapersMarist poll. “There’s clearly a good deal of concern, and there’s division about whether we’re suited to handle this,� said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion in New York, which conducted the survey. “Nuclear power is very controversial,� he noted.

Last month’s earthquake and tsunami on Japan’s northeast coast badly damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

Tuesday, in its latest daily update, the International Atomic Energy Agency said the situation at the plant “remains very serious, but there are signs of recovery in some functions,� such as electrical power.

The McClatchy-Marist survey found that a solid majority of Americans — 57 percent — think that a nuclear crisis is probable here; 41 percent thought such a crisis was likely, while another 16 percent said it was very likely.

Far fewer think it’s not going to happen: 31 percent said it wasn’t very likely, while 9 percent said it wasn’t likely at all.

The April 10-14 poll surveyed 629 people nationwide. The margin of error was plus or minus 4 percentage points.

People split over the U.S. government’s ability to manage such a disaster. Forty-nine percent said it was prepared or very prepared, but 48 percent said it wasn’t very prepared or wasn’t prepared at all.

If such an accident should occur, 56 percent thought it probably would be the result of an accident, while 40 percent feared a terrorist attack.

Few differences emerged among subgroups; generally, opinion divided the same way among people of all ages, political beliefs, education and from different regions of

KABUL, Afghanistan — The mud house where insurgents began digging a lengthy tunnel that at least 488 inmates used to flee an Afghan prison had been searched about 2 1/2 months before by security forces who failed to notice anything amiss, authorities said Tuesday.

Afghan Justice Minister Habibullah Ghaleb faulted security forces for overlooking the nearly quarter-mile tunnel and failing to prevent the escape on Sunday night and Monday morning from Kandahar ’s Sarposa prison. Authorities estimate that militants spent five months digging the tunnel. “Earth or soil dug out of the tunnel must have been moved and should not have been missed by the eyes of the security forces,� Ghaleb said in a report to President Hamid Karzai.

But Ghaleb also blamed foreign troops, noting that Canadian forces had been stationed at the prison in the past, and that U.S.

troops had been building living quarters and judicial offices at the prison for the past four months even as the tunnel took shape beneath them.

Ghaleb said he suspects escapees had help from someone inside the prison, since they managed to unlock multiple cells to reach the tunnel, which ended within a single cell. The escape went on for more than four hours.

Afghan authorities and foreign troops launched a manhunt for the escapees but had only captured 65 as of late Tuesday, according to Tooryalai Wesa, the governor of Kandahar province.

The Taliban, who consider the escape a major victory, had claimed 541 inmates fled through the tunnel and were later driven to safe houses.

Afghanistan’s government has launched a full investigation into the escape, the second in three years at Sarposa. In 2008, about 1,000 prisoners including Taliban fighters escaped from Sarposa after a truck bomb attack at the jail’s gates.

There was a bit of a gender gap, however. Women said an emergency probably would be the result of an accident, not a terrorist attack, by 50-45 percent, while men said an accident by 61-36 percent.

Overall, the poll’s findings “are directed by attitude, not demographics. They cut across the traditional political demarcations. This is not a Democratic or Republican issue,� Miringoff said.

The Japan incident led U.S. officials to re-examine nuclear safety policies.

McClatchy Tribune KABUL, Afghanistan — U.S.-led NATO forces killed a top al-Qaida member, Abu Hafs al-Najdi, also known as Abdul Ghani, in an airstrike on April 13 in the eastern province of Kunar, according to a statement the International Security Assistance Force issued Tuesday. “The International Security Assistance Force confirmed their number two overall targeted insurgent in Afghanistan was killed during an airstrike

in Dangam district, Kunar province,� the statement said.

Abdul Ghani was killed along with another al-Qaida leader named Waqas, who was working with him to coordinate attacks on Afghan and coalition forces, the statement said. “I do not have information about Abdul Ghani. Kunar is a border province, and there are different types of insurgents here,� said Fazlullah Wahidi, the governor of Kunar.

Kunar is a remote province that borders the lawless tribal areas of Pakistan, known

as havens for the Taliban and their al-Qaida associates. Militant attacks have increased in the province lately.

Abdul Ghani, a Saudi Arabian national, operated primarily from Kunar and traveled frequently between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the statement said. He directed al-Qaida operations in the province, including recruiting; training and employing fighters; obtaining weapons and equipment; organizing finances; and planning attacks on Afghan and coalition forces.

ASUA heads into final meeting

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A multitude of presenters will get their last word in during the final ASUA meeting on Wednesday.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate will hear presentations from the Women’s Resource Center, ASUA Pride Alliance and the ASUA Freshmen Class Council. ASUA officials will also present the ASUA End of the Year Report and the ASUA Strategic Plan.

The senate is also slated to vote on bylaws for the ASUA Reserves. The proposed bylaws state that the mission of the reserves would be to give students easy access to participate in ASUA through “exposure to volunteer, shadowing, and process facilitation opportunities as well as other capacities as deemed necessary and/or appropriate by the Director in consultation with the ASUA Executive Vice President.”

According to the proposed bylaws, those who decide to join the reserves would have to go to one meeting a semester and participate in one “meaningful program of interaction with an ASUAaffiliated program, event, etc.”

ASUA President-elect James Allen is also tentatively slated to present his proposed changes to the ASUA bylaws. Allen said that most of his changes would be clerical or to update language, but that he was also looking to propose a new ASUA position, a communications executive director who would be charged with liasoning with media and public relationship representatives.

SLEEP

GRANT

continued from page 1 psychological issue.

“Sleep deprivation can make your energy low and your mood worse. So people might be eating food — especially junk food — in the hopes that the calories and sugar will give them more energy,” Peck said. “They might be eating sweets and comfort food as a way of trying to cheer themselves up.”

Whether this study can truly show a causal effect has yet to be determined. But St-Onge offered an explanation as to why a lack of sleep could potentially increase one’s appetite for fatty foods.

“Studies have shown sleep deprivation increases hormones related to hunger and appetite,” she said. “There may also be a cognitive control mechanism impairment.”

Regardless of what causes the extra calorie intake, St-Onge said this type of behavior could lead to serious health issues such as obesity and heart disease.

Peck agreed that these findings may have detrimental long-term effects, but also realized that this news is not the end of the world for students trying to pull an all-nighter in the midst of finals.

“Pulling an occasional all-nighter probably isn’t going to make you need larger pants,” Peck said. “But there’s reason to believe that chronic sleep deprivation might lead to overeating and weight gain.”

continued from page 1 centers to adapt to this type of program. The study will look at how long it takes women to get their definitive cancer diagnosis under the navigation method.

“They’ll have certain beliefs about what all this means, and the navigator is there to kind of talk that through with them and help them out,” he said.

Nodora said the grant will allow him to work on a smaller study and train in the area of clinical research.

There will be about 106 women involved, half of which will be randomly assigned to a patient navigator and the other half will receive usual care.

A woman who has a positive pap test could potentially have a precancerous lesion or cancer, he said.

Poor, underserved women, which constitute 60 percent of women with cervical cancer, tend to delay getting tested for human papillomavirus, often because they do not have access to screenings, Nodora said.

HPV, which is the primary cause of cervical cancer, is usually transmitted through sexual contact, “so as soon as you start having sex, you’re basically at risk for cervical cancer,” Nodora said.

“The whole idea behind the pap and all screening in cancer is to try to catch the growth early so that it can be removed,” he said.

The primary prevention for cervical cancer is the HPV vaccine, he said. It is intended for females who have not yet had sexual intercourse because they have not been exposed to the virus, and therefore can be protected from it. If a woman is sexually active and has not had the vaccination, they have an increased risk.

The secondary prevention is to get an HPV exam to determine whether or not someone has the virus, Nodora said. If tested positive for HPV, the next step is to find out if it is persistent and in need of treatment.

The rates of cervical cancer are low, Nodora said. There may be two or three women out of 100 that have the cancer. Not all women with positive pap tests will have cervical cancer, he said.

“The patient navigation is all about helping those women get in for their exam to figure out whether their pap test, if (a) positive pap test, is in fact pre-cancer or cancer,” he said.

Most women are infected with HPV at some point in their lives, but it isn’t really a concern, he said.

Nodora compared it to having a cold because the immune system eventually gets rid of the virus. If the virus lingers, however, it will cause abnormal cell growth, called dysplasia.

“That is basically a pre-cancerous lesion,” Nodora said. “The beauty of cervical cancer, if there is such a thing, is that it’s probably preventable.”

Ron Paul leaning toward running for presidency in 2012 MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Ron Paul, the patriarch of the libertarian stream in GOP politics, will announce on Tuesday that he is forming a presidential exploratory committee, taking a step to join the Republican nomination sweepstakes.

Paul, who will be 76 in August, has served about 20 years in the House representing districts in Texas, most recently the 14th, which includes Galveston. He is a doctor by training, having served as a flight surgeon in the Air Force and in private practice as a gynecologist.

No stranger to presidential politics, Paul placed fifth in the GOP’s Iowa caucuses in 2008 and has made several trips back to the key early state in this election cycle. He was the Libertarian Party’s presidential

candidate in 1988 and is scheduled to announce the exploratory committee in a stop in Des Moines.

“We’re going to announce that I am going to start an exploratory committee,” Paul told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity on Monday night. “I will stop in Iowa on my way home and that might lead to the next decision. It depends what kind of reception I get on your show tonight. If I get booed or something, then maybe I won’t do it.”

A favorite of conservatives, Paul has won straw polls, including the one held at the prestigious Conservative Political Action Conference, but he does less well in national polls. In a recent Gallup poll, he drew about 6 percent, at the top of the second tier of possible candidates. The first group, all in low double digits, included a trio of

former governors: Arkansas’ Mike Huckabee, Massachusetts’ Mitt Romney and Alaska’s Sarah Palin.

Also in the top group is realityshow star and businessman Donald Trump.

But Paul’s influence goes beyond his numbers.

He has been a steady voice for a specific stream of libertarian thought that harks back to Friedrich Hayek, a Nobel Prize winner in economics, and the Austrian school of political economy. Hayek was a classical 19th century liberal who supported free markets and the least possible government as a way of achieving the maximum amount of individual freedom. The Austrian school was harshly opposed to collectivist thought, whether socialist or, later, fascist.

EDITORIAL ‘Law and Order’ Giffords episode trivializes tragedy

I

n a desperate bid to stay relevant, the “Law and Order” franchise plans to tackle the Jan. 8 shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and 19 others. That’s one way to bring ratings back up.

According to the Associated Press, filming began this week, and while there’s no official date yet, rumor has it that the episode is expected to be the show’s season finale. Two words: too soon.

Although updates on Giffords’ recovery remain cheery — She’s left-handed now!

She can speak in full sentences! She’s going to her husband’s space shuttle launch on Friday! — it’s easily, obviously, too early to turn the Jan. 8 tragedy into a TV drama.

Representatives of “Law and Order: Los Angeles” and NBC executives insist the storyline, though clearly based on the shooting that hospitalized Giffords and 13 others, is a work of fiction. But according to Entertainment Weekly, the episode will be about a “female state senator gunned down in a public setting.” It doesn’t exactly sound unfamiliar.

Granted, maybe it’s no big deal because no one actually watches “Law and Order: Los Angeles.” But the show’s poor ratings don’t detract from the fact that using the shooting of 14 people and the murders of six others, including a 9-year-old girl, to get people watching is despicable.

It’s not the first time that the franchise has been inspired by a political attack.

An episode of the fifth season of “Law and Order” was about the murder of a gay city councilman. It was based on the assassination of San Francisco city councilman Harvey Milk, the first openly gay politician to serve in California. But the episode originally aired in 1995, and Milk’s assassination was in 1978.

“Law and Order” and all its spinoff series frequently rip episode plots straight from headlines, and then turn those storylines into something recognizable and relevant, but generic enough to air for late night reruns on cable TV. There’s no exact timeline for when it would be OK to air such an episode, or even when it would be OK to consider airing it. But it’s only been two and a half months. Did the writers at least wait until Jan. 9 to scribble down “female politician shot” in their list of ideas?

For some people, it might never be OK to see a TV show inspired by Jan. 8. But it’s definitely not OK for anyone yet.

The optimistic reports of Giffords’ progress are still cautious — forming longer sentences frustrates her, and she is not expected to make a public statement at the launch — and dozens of people are still recovering from the shooting.

You don’t just wake up one day, months after having your entire world changed by gunfire, and feel exactly like the way you did before it happened. But you can find a new normal, to borrow a phrase from Giffords’ doctors. You can heal and move on. You can feel better. Turning on the TV and catching some fictionalized version of yourself, sensationalized and manipulated to heighten a viewer’s emotions, won’t help to accomplish that.

The Giffords-inspired episode of “Law and Order: Los Angeles” is inappropriate, plain and simple. Apparently another spinoff of the franchise, “Law and Order: Criminal Intent” will also air an episode based on the accident-prone Broadway musical, “Spider-man: Turn off the Dark.”

In that episode, an actor is killed during the production of a show called “Icarus.”

Other characters will include the director, a born-again drunk, and a bisexual rock star.

One show about “Spider-man.” Another about a national tragedy. This might demonstrate the order of the “Law and Order” franchise’s priorities.

Debt crisis signals need to stop spending Tanner Weigel Arizona Daily Wildcat

I

f you haven’t noticed, politicians and pundits alike really enjoy stoking fears in order to gain support for their respective agendas. Both parties do it, though the current offenders happen to be Democrats pushing to hike up the national debt ceiling.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said recently that failure to raise the debt limit “would be catastrophic.” Austan Goolsbee, chairman of the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers, echoed those same sentiments (and of course also used the word “catastrophic”).

Well, if there is so much to worry about, why hasn’t the urgent rhetoric transformed into action?

With so much doom following the $14 trillion debt limit sometime in early May, you would think that Congress wouldn’t be on recess, or President Barack Obama wouldn’t be off traveling the country (in true campaigner’s style) touting his deficit reduction plan.

Geithner can’t even bring himself to give specifics on how much he thinks the debt limit should be raised.

In terms of political calculation, it’s probably preferable to get closer to the crisis before taking action. Both sides want as much time as possible to frame the debate, so that once

the deadline is actually reached, one side or the other will have a better hand at the negotiating table.

Ah yes, and then comes the deal, at the eleventh hour, like always. Again, not a surprise, but it is slightly frustrating when one side says that failure to act in a timely manner will lead to financial doom. And it is with this lack of action that the urgency of the debt limit issue is put into question.

But, when actually looking at the numbers, the idea that the U.S. will go into default becomes truly mistaken.

Veronique de Rugy, senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center, put it best in her column for Reason magazine: “If Congress refuses to raise the debt ceiling, the federal government will still have more than enough money to fully service the debt. This year, for instance, about 6.1 percent of all projected federal expenditures will go to interest on the debt, and tax revenue is projected to cover about 60.1 percent of all government expenditures. With roughly 10 times more income than needed to honor its debt obligations, why would the government ever default?”

Indeed, why would it default? It wouldn’t.

Now, this is not to say that everything would

still be peachy. There would no doubt be a strain on the economy and financial markets.

But to insinuate the entire U.S. economy is going to fall off a cliff is simply disingenuous.

So what will Congress end up doing?

Republican Rep. Ron Paul won’t go along with raising the debt at all, while Democratic Rep. Peter Welch wants a no-strings-attached clean debt ceiling raise. Neither is likely to win out, and the ultimate result will probably be an increase in the debt limit in concert with large decreases in spending. But frankly, if you believe the aforementioned analysis by de Rugy, then it is almost in the Republicans’ best interest to push this thing down to the wire in order to get the greatest concessions.

Rep. Chris Van Hollen warned Republicans not to “monkey around with the full faith and credit of the United States.”

While that is actually a good suggestion, it should really be addressed to those, both Democrat and Republican, who in the past decades have refused to curb the U.S. government’s spending binge. Because in reality, keeping your fiscal house in order to begin with is what shows a deep commitment to upholding the full faith and credit of the United States.

Let’s face it. Republicans like to spend.

Democrats like to spend. But in opposing a clean increase of the debt ceiling, some members of Congress may actually be resisting this spending trend.

GUEST COLUMN Presidency will address ASUA’s flaws, restore legitimacy

I

want to start by expressing how grateful I am for the opportunity to address the students of this university formally, for the first time. I want to thank every student who believed in my credibility and capacity to hold this esteemed position. It is because of your dedication that I sit here today addressing you as the student body president-elect, and this story would not have had the same ending without you.

Allow me to take you back to the night of the special election for the president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. It was more than a month ago that I sat waiting, with that same sweaty grip and my heart pounding, aware that what would appear on the results screen would change my life. An entire year of determination and perseverance, that started with simple conversations and transformed into countless hours of dedication, coupled with unbridled passion, allowed me to achieve this position.

Those final few minutes would tell the story of so many accumulated months. Through personal networking, social media and an unwavering constituency, 66.8 per-

cent of the voters voiced their belief not once, but twice.

Where there is smoke, there is typically fire, and it would be foolish to presume that this elections process was an exception. This election generated unprecedented interest and galvanized students from diverse areas of campus. However, the Elections Code was unprepared for an election of this capacity. As was this student government.

These recent events were unfortunate, and I share your disappointment and frustrations. Our student government was unprepared to handle a competitive election with diverse and avid candidates and supporters, and was ill equipped to respond to a record level of organizational scrutiny. It is not in my character to leave conflict unresolved. I cannot justify the decisions and actions of the many players in this situation, but I don’t wish to circumvent this issue. I realize my actions and the circumstances of this election may have offended students, and I will personally take responsibility and accountability for rebuilding these relationships and establishing credibility.

I can assure you that I will con-

tinue to act with professionalism and with the students’ best interests at heart. I also want to make a promise.

I promise to address this organization’s flaws, and to restore legitimacy to this office in an effort to remind students why it is important to move forward with me now that the dust has settled.

I have not forgotten the gravity of being elected student body president, and I recognize that this is only the first chapter of the story.

The many students who take pride in serving through their student government, and the students seeking new opportunities for involvement will help me write the chapters to follow. Collaboration and communication will help us move forward together, for the betterment of our university and student experience. I accept the challenge to earn your trust and restore faith in this organization, and I am prepared to do this upon inauguration on May 2.

Thank you for the opportunity to represent and serve.

MAILBAG ASUA president must prove ASUA worth caring about

As expected, James Allen won the presidency of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. I guess I would care more if I actually voted, but alas, the politics of ASUA seem more of a “Members Only� club then anything else. Other candidates had more experience and more wisdom (in my opinion, of course) than the elected president does. But we live in an era that treats wisdom and knowledge as less than popularity and charisma.

The sad thing (or not so sad thing, depending on how you look at it) is that by the time next year’s term is over and done with, most people will forget about this term’s elections. Well, I hope that you don’t. You have next year to question our “prestigious� leaders in ASUA. You have next year to watch how they handle the issues at the good old UA. Who will stay attuned to the intricacies of ASUA? By the turnout of this year’s election (and then the turnout of the special election), probably very few.

By the end of next year’s term we will see how our “knowledgeableâ€? leaders have advanced ASUA. Only then will we hear people say “I told you so,â€? or perhaps they will prove those individuals wrong. Perhaps, even though in my opinion our president-elect didn’t earn the opportunity or our trust in this year’s election, he may earn it during his term. But the critic in me says that it’s doubtful ‌ very doubtful. Prove me wrong. — Thompson Whatoname Psychology and philosophy senior

POLICEBEAT

By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Baffled, besotted students deny rooftop adventure

After insisting that officers never “saw” them, three drunken UA students were charged for trespassing on the roof of the Henry Koffler building on April 23.

At approximately 2 a.m., two University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to the building after receiving reports of people on the roof.

At the top of the southwest stairwell of the building, an officer observed a man on the staircase side of the roof’s security fence, apparently helping a woman over the fence from the roof.

After all three students cleared the fence and were in the stairwell, the officer began interviewing them.

They said they were on the roof to observe the view from the top of the building that a professor had told them about.

All three admitted to drinking that night and the woman submitted to a portable Breathalyzer test.

One of the men grew argumentative with the officer.

“You never saw me on the roof,” he said. The officer replied that the group’s collective admission was satisfactory.

“Well, I never actually admitted that I was on the roof, did I?” the man said.

Still, the officer cited all three for trespassing and cited the woman for minor in possession.

All three were referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Hello Kitty disapproves of DUI

A non-UA affiliated woman waiting for Hello Kitty novelty license plates was stopped for expired registration on April 23 and ended up with a DUI charge.

Around 3:45 a.m., a UAPD officer observed the vehicle stopped at Sixth Street and Campbell Avenue and checked its registration. The license came back invalid and the officer stopped the vehicle. Upon meeting with the driver, he could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle.

Other than the driver, there were four other passengers, two who admitted to being under 21 and drinking.

The driver claimed that she recently applied for “I Love Hello Kitty” license plates from the Arizona Motor Vehicle Department. A records check on the Hello Kitty plate showed that it was valid for her car.

Because of the odor of alcohol coming from the vehicle, the officer asked her to step out from the vehicle.

Immediately, he noticed a strong alcoholic odor on her breath. She took the field sobriety tests and a portable Breathalyzer test, and was found to be intoxicated.

At 4 a.m., the officer arrested her for driving under the influence. She was transported to UAPD for paperwork. Though cited and released to her mother for DUI, she was not charged for her license violation.

Witch threatens to hex community director

A male UA student “witch” threatened a UA Residence Life community director via Facebook on April 20 and was referred to the Dean of Students Office.

The community director reported the message to UAPD on the same day it was posted. She said she believed the student may have been upset because he had been written up for repeatedly violating Residence Life policy about guests in his room.

Several times, guests have stayed over in his room longer than 72 hours, which is against policy. The community director was notified of the message by another resident of the residence hall.

“I swear if I or my friends get in trouble, someone is going to pay. It’s not a threat, it’s a promise,” he wrote in a status update.

The community director said that these posts made her and her resident assistant staff feel threatened and Residence Life suggested that she file a police report.

She did not want UAPD to contact the student because he might become more aggressive toward her.

The officer instead spoke with the suspect without informing him of who reported him. The student said he posted the status update because he was upset but had no intention of physically harming anyone or anything.

He went on to say that he studied witchcraft and, at most, put a “hex” on people that upset him. He said that he was a Wiccan.

The officer told him that any further incidents or threats could be referred to the Dean of Students Office or could result in his arrest, depending on the severity of the incident.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Your guide to the Tucson arts and entertainment scene

Dear Gorillaz,

Your CD The Fall is like, so chill, I slipped on the ice building up on the floor by my computer and knocked myself out. The good news is, I probably didn’t miss much because all the songs are the same. The bad news is, I probably didn’t miss much because all the songs are the same — “Hey, let’s make some ‘tronics pulsate in the background while we sing the beat. And let’s bring it up an octave on like, three of the tracks, so that it almost sounds like we’re switching shit up.”

A breakdown (not the kind you use so frequently, by the way): “Amarillo” — it’s as flat, empty and uneventful as the town in Texas; “Phoner to Arizona,” “Detroit,” “The Speak It Mountains,” “Aspen Forest” — modernist company elevator music; “Shy-town,” “Little Pink Plastic Bags,” “The Snake In Dallas”— lurker/creep-ass jams as they lurk and creep they asses through dark alleys. “Bobby In Phoenix (feat. Bobby Womack)”— OMG, was that a real song?

Figure it out, Kim Kotel

Dear Explosions In The Sky,

Wildlife

Epistolary CD reviews: We write the fan (or hate) mail so you don’t have to.

I’m gonna be honest with you. I didn’t like you for a while. I thought slightly less of my freshman year roommate for liking you so much because I thought your albums were dumb. I just told people I was into you because sometimes you came up in conversation and I like seeming popular and in the know. But that excellent guitar section during “Human Qualities” (from your new album Take Care, Take Care, Take Care) is an audible experience comparable to riding a sharp skiff across shallow waves and warm breezes impregnating taut sails.

There is a touch of wonder here, a vulnerability that is both beautiful and emasculating. Touché, Explosions in the Sky. You have yourselves a convert.

Love, Remy Albillar

Dear Jessie J,

The U.S. just nabbed your debut album, Who You Are. That’s a good question — who are you with this “Stand Up” business — Natasha Bedingfield? What about “Who’s Laughing Now” — Mary J. Blige? Hell no, you’re Jessica Ellen Cornish, full-on equipped with vocal chords vibrating talent off themselves. The pop scene hasn’t been rocked by a voice like yours since Christina Aguilera was getting dirrty in chaps and a wrestling ring.

Don’t try to pull that “Rainbow” bull chips on me again or I’m going to make it rain skittles on your ass. You’re better than that cliché “yellow brick road” crap. Make some popular diddies like “Price Tag” and “Do It Like A Dude” to keep green in the AT-Machine, but don’t forget about the likes of “Mamma Knows Best” and “Big White Room (Live)” — just because the stage is packed full of musical performers doesn’t mean they can sing. You can. Big deal, girlfriend.

Don’t poop out on us before you even get started.

Oh, and re: “Nobody’s Perfect.” I can still only think about the YouTube vid of that chubby girl dancing around her room to Hannah Montana. No room at the inn, girlfriend.

Find another track name.

For serious, Kim Kotel

Dear Atmosphere,

You’ve been flowing since the late ‘80s, and now it seems like a shame that my first taste of Slug and Ant was only three years ago. What was that album called? Oh yeah, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold.

But The Family Sign is an even darker twist on the intimacy that people have come to expect from you two.

It’s a dip into a world enveloped by ambient keys and guitar where you’re not quite sure, a world so sincere and deeply intimate that it’s hard to decide if the album is really hip hop at all.

Take “I Don’t Need Brighter Days.” It’s nowhere near the fiery lyrics present in your biggest hits — and work like this doesn’t prime The Family Sign for top-played radio hits.

Not that it needs to. The album oozes wisdom, a wisdom I’m afraid will be muffled in the age of Key-Dollar Sign-Ha and pop stars carried in eggs to award shows.

“They tell me that I’m not qualified to lend my voice to something so beautiful,” you sing on “Something So.” Qualified might not be the right word, Slug.

A crooning, almost-40-year-old rapper might not be marketable enough to convince the world to listen to him lyrically sift through society’s problems. But I’m a pessimist.

Forget the haters, Jazmine Woodberry

Dear TV on the Radio,

How are you? Remember seven years ago when you were, like, a really cool indie band for people to like?

Nah, me neither. I’m sort of a poser when it comes to music. Anyway, I listened to another one of your albums, Nine Types of Lights. More like … 10 Tracks of Trite. I mean, some of this stuff is catchy and wavering on fringe brilliance. But some of these things aren’t really even songs.

They’re more like a set of musical skits taped together. Sort of like an indie rock version of the third Austin Powers movie. Just think about that one for a while. You’ll get it later. Well, that’s all I have to say to you, TV on the Radio.

Love, Remy Albillar

Dear Foo Fighters,

Please don’t let these be your “famous last words.”

To me, the Fighters’ musical persona is at an all-time best in your newest cut, Wasting Light. The pop is poppier, the rock is rockier, the screams are scream-ier and they make me want to snag a copy. Yes, a physical copy — with liner notes and everything. It was No. 1 for a reason.

“White Limo” rocks with edgy, feedback-laden riffs, and finds its match in ballads like “Arlandria” and your single, “Rope.” “Walk” is reminiscent of the rock that the kid in your dorm plays down the hall, the kind you bop your head to on the way to the shower without feeling the compulsion to call UAPD in fear of his or her mental state.

Plus “I Should Have Known” is chill-inducing.

The album, in Dave Grohl’s words, is “heaven burn(ing) like hell” in my ears … and then some.

Until the next one (I hope), Jazmine Woodberry

Laughter is yoga leader’s ‘inner pharmacy’

By Heather Price-Wright ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT I left the Curves gym on Glenn Street and Campbell Avenue at 20 minutes to 7 on Sunday night, my sides aching, my face beet red and sweaty. I could already tell that I’d be sore the next day, having activated muscles I rarely use. Walking through the strip mall parking lot to my car, I realized I had a big, silly grin on my face, left over from the last hour of exercise.

But I wasn’t leaving a traditional workout class. I had just experienced my first hour of laughter yoga.

Laughter yoga is just what it sounds like: stretching, breathing exercises relaxation combined with a whole lot of laughing.

Gita Fendelman, a laughter yoga instructor and member of the Tucson Laughter Club, calls laughter her “inner pharmacy.”

Fendelman had been practicing Hatha yoga since 1971. She was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease a little more than seven years ago, which limited her ability to do traditional yoga.

“But I had heard of laughter yoga, and I figured I could still laugh,” she said.

Since starting her laughter yoga practice four years ago, Fendelman said she has stopped taking any medication for her Parkinson’s disease. Laughter yoga has become the only treatment she needs.

Fendelman said laughter has been shown to help with a whole host of conditions, including depression, chronic pain, sleep disorders, diabetes and conditions like Parkinson’s disease and arthritis. She said a recent study even indicated laughter might boost fertility.

Fendelman and other members of the

Students surround Gita Fendelman (center, Laughter Yoga T-shirt) at one of her Certified Laughter Yoga Leader Trainings. The group is holding the Lion Laughter pose for the camera.

Tucson Laughter Club hope to bring these and other benefits to the greater community on May 1, which is World Laughter Day. Laughter clubs in more than 60 countries will be hosting events all day to promote the laughter yoga mission: “joy, good health and world peace through laughter.”

Tucson’s event will be held on the UA Mall in front of McKale Center from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The morning will feature “bubbles and games,” in addition to a laughter yoga session, Fendelman said.

The event is free and open to everyone.

“Men, women and children,” Fendelman stressed. “Especially children. Bring your inner child.”

An inner child is an important facet of laughter yoga, as I learned during Fendelman’s Sunday evening session at Curves. The group, called the Laughter YogHA club, meets weekly at 5:30 p.m.

We began by sitting in a circle and making eye contact, which Fendelman stresses is an important aspect of laughter yoga. We stretched and breathed, then learned a few basic laughter chants, accompanied by clapping or simple dance moves.

And then, for the bulk of the next half hour, we just laughed. Because it was Easter Sunday, many of the laugh prompts Fendelman introduced were holiday themed.

“Now do your, ‘I ate too much Easter food

laugh,’” she instructed us, and we all let out long, wailing laughs, holding our stomachs.

We did an Easter fashion show, prancing down a makeshift aisle in pretend bonnets and hoopskirts while the rest of the group laughed. We searched for Easter eggs, guffawing every time we “found” one in a fellow laugher’s ear or on top of their head.

Most of the session consisted of various kinds of pantomime and make-believe, accompanied by perpetual belly laughter.

That kind of laughter is difficult to sustain for more than a minute or so, as I soon found. It requires both mental and physical discipline.

“We’re laughing whether we feel like it or not,” Fendelman said. “It’s just like exercise.”

It’s also, of course, infectious. Forced laughter quickly becomes real, and I often found that, as Fendelman transitioned between laughing exercises, I couldn’t stop my laughter.

Toward the end of class, my cell phone rang, interrupting the explanation of an exercise. Instead of glaring around, trying to find the idiot who didn’t turn off her cell phone before class, everyone just laughed.

Fendelman ended class with a “savasana,” or corpse pose, the traditional ending to a Hatha yoga class. This deep relaxation pose was the perfect end to a surprisingly vigorous hour of laughter. I left with aching cheeks and a perceptibly lifted mood.

The World Laughter Day event on the Mall will feature a laughter yoga session, so you don’t have to take my word for it. But after just one laughter yoga session, I understand how a person can get hooked.

“It’s almost magical,” Fendelman said.

“And the only side effects are good ones. You might not be able to stop.”

Minneapolis minimialists to treat Solar Culture to a set of emotion, booty dancing

By Brandon Specktor Arizona Daily Wildcat If you visit Dark Dark Dark’s website, brightbrightbright.com, you will first be greeted with the three naked asses that panel the cover of the Minneapolis sextet’s newest album, “Wild Go.” Don’t worry — these aren’t anonymous asses; they belong to band members. Scroll down, though, and click the play button on their media streamer to hear “Daydreaming,” and let the beautiful melancholy transport you, as vocalist Nona Marie Invie sings, to “anywhere but here.”

With six members on eight instruments — piano, accordion, drums, bass, trumpet, clarinet, electric banjo and voices — Dark Dark Dark’s style is hard to define. But according to Marshall LaCount, the band’s co-author and self-proclaimed “banjo and clarinet and singer guy,” their music is simple. It is music so infused with emotion that you can’t help but cry. I spoke with LaCount in preparation for the sextet’s concert at Solar Culture this Saturday about crying, banjoing and BYOB-ing.

Daily Wildcat: I read in a recent interview that you choose to play a style of music that makes you cry. Why is crying important to you?

LaCount: I think that we all find an extreme level of joy in it. It’s maybe the sort of crying you can do that’s happy or sad crying, and we show an extreme range of emotions playing our music that our audience can find as well. Finding that full

range of emotion is what art’s about — having a genuine emotional experience that sort of informs everyday life.

Are there any other forms of art that make you cry, or is it just music?

Mostly music, but also movies, especially with good soundtracks. A painting has to be pretty damn good, or a sculpture that just sits there has to be pretty profound to have that effect. But that’s what I love — what all of us love.

Which film soundtracks give you that feeling?

Oh, the “Dead Man” Neil Young soundtrack, the “Waking Life” soundtrack is really amazing, and “The Fog of War” Philip Glass soundtrack is pretty intense.

Do you consider yourself a minimalist?

I think, right now, I really do. If Walter (McClements), the accordionist, is coming from a background of jazz and Eastern European music, if he is sort of a maximalist — if I may use that fake word — then I am a minimalist interested in texture more than others. I use more simple phrasing, and I think (celloist) Jonathan (Kaiser) does too.

Nona uses often a very repetitive and washy piano as well, and I think that minimalism is what’s really there — definitely not primary, but it’s there. I wouldn’t pick a primary genre anyway, because it changes from time to time and maybe even song to song.

You probably won’t like my next question then. If you had to be really minimalist and describe your band’s style in one or two words, what would they be?

I would say Photo co chamber folk. We may have urtesy o f Pitch Pe rfect Pr made it up, but it alludes to our acoustic traditional or classical instruments and the intimacy of our when I got my first banjo from a friend, music....The “chamber” I feel alludes to the it felt natural...I kind of disregarded it for atmosphere in the room and the intimacy. a while. But I picked it up again because I’m not playing strictly acoustic. I am using now I’m known as the bandleader, and effects and making textures, so it’s not fair I’m arranging layers and textures with to say Eastern European or folk or jazz, but everyone else.

I think “chamber folk” leaves it open-ended And the banjo helps you articulate that enough that all of our influences can leak in arrangement? there. So there, I answered your question …

Yes, absolutely. I have my own language in about a hundred words to describe two with it. words.

Solar Culture has a BYOB policy. Will When did you start playing banjo? you “B” any “B,” and, if so, what will that Maybe six years ago. It appealed to me “B” be? originally because it’s percussive … now We’re probably going to be bringing I use it texturally and percussively, and bomb-ass jams, or booty dancing, or butter rhythmically.

Concert channels Coachella Poetry Center gets ‘Young’

By Kellie Mejdrich Arizona Daily Wildcat Why spend $300 when you can spend $5 to see “the longest running festival to celebrate absurdity”? Defying the norm and having a fun, cheap time is what “The Real Coachella,” an event started by Ryan Avery seven years ago, is all about.

This year, The Real Coachella is coming to Tucson on April 29 at 6 p.m. at the notoriously hip HangArt, located at 512 N. Echols Ave. The HangArt is a music/creative space made out of an old aircraft hangar. This year, eight bands from Tucson and Phoenix will play, as well as couple from California.

The bands include Tucson’s own Monster Pussy and Ultramaroon, Phoenix bands Man-Cat, Treasure MammaL, Female Trouble, JJCnV, Plague Party and Fathers Day, and California bands Mark Matos, The Ovals and Captain Ahab.

That’s a lot of bands that you might not know about. But the great thing about The Real Coachella is discovering how close good music is to home, said M.P. Mullarkey, who has effectively become the event’s oneman Tucson street team.

Avery said he is excited as ever for Tucson, which has a reputation for producing great audiences.

“The Tucson date is coming together really well,” Avery said. “There’s a lot of excitement behind the Tucson date this year. Each year we’re making it better and more fun.”

“The lineup is truly rad,” added Mullarkey, whose band, Monster Pussy, is playing the event for the first time this year.

“It’s something that is happening in our own backyard.”

Alex Benson, who plays in Man-Cat, also stressed that the event will be an opportunity to see unique local talent really close to home.

“There is really awesome local music that not a lot of people are aware of,” Benson said.

Abelardo Gil, who plays in Treasure MammaL, said he is also excited to play in Tucson. His band recently played at Dry River Radical Resource Center and the concert’s attendees went out the hall onto the steps of a church. He said he hopes this event is even better.

“I hope people take it to the limit and get crazy,” Gil said.

There’s more in store, like a piñata and a full-suited Cookie Monster who will give away cookies and buttons, along with a grab bag of free music. But overall, it’s supposed to be a bitchin’ time, organizers say.

“It’s just going to be a lot of fun,” Avery said.

By Miranda Butler Arizona Daily Wildcat The UA Poetry Center has been celebrating its 50th anniversary all year.

And on Saturday, it’s ending that yearlong celebration with a large public event called the “Young at Art Festival.”

It’s free and open to the public, and visitors can come and go any time between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

“We wanted to do something … that was kind of spectacular and involved the whole community and the whole city,” explained Renee Angle, the program coordinator for the Poetry Center. The festival is inspired by the art of the written word but will have many events beyond just poetry. Musicians, chalk artists and visual artists will also be involved. The festival even features dancers, who will improvise to interpret the words of any poem.

There will be many events for children, but the festival has a lot to offer college-age students as well. “We have a book binder from Kore Press who’s going to be there all day binding journals, and I think that’s something that students could definitely use,” Angle said. She added that students can

enjoy live music from a vinyl DJ as well as great food.

National Slam Champion Roger Bonair-Agard will perform during the evening as a part of the Tucson Youth Poetry Slam. “He’s won the national championship several times and is a very well regarded poet. We’re very excited (for) his performance,” Angle said.

The Poetry Center is also attempting to create Tucson’s longest poem, a piece which Angle said may become long enough to wrap around the entire Poetry Center by the end of the night. It will begin as a blank page which anyone is invited to contribute to. “It’ll start out hung over a 17 foot wall inside the library.

Then, it’ll be woven between the stacks in the library. We’ll just see how long it gets and where it ends up,” Angle explained.

Parking will also be free around the Poetry Center for the day. A schedule of performances is available at the Poetry Center’s website, poetry. arizona.edu. However, no planning is necessary — Angle noted that the event will also be great for browsing.

“Someone who just comes and wanders through is sure to find some interesting surprises,” Angle said.

‘Bang’ for your buck 1 # Tip

Colin Darland/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Little bits of left-over lace can spice up underwear for the undie run or your significant other. It’s cheap and doesn’t require expert sewing skills.

Some creative ways to customize your less-exciting undies

By Christy Delehanty Arizona Daily Wildcat The ZonaZoo undie run is today, and you’ve got some last-minute planning to do.

The plain Hanes look is and always will be classic, but if you don’t want white cotton to monopolize your underwardrobe, you have options: Sell your soul to Victoria’s Secret, hit up Ross or WalMart for a cookie-cutter polyester creation, or do-it-yourself.

That’s right — with only the dinkiest of sewing kits and some scraps of lace, lengths of ribbon, and spare buttonlike embellishments, you can spice up any boring undergarments that plague your dresser drawers. And — this is important — it doesn’t have to cost you much of anything.

Though a trip to a crafting Mecca like

Jo-Ann Fabrics & Crafts or Michaels can do wonders for your enthusiasm, all you really need is some lacy pieces you’re willing to creatively recycle.

Things you can do to sexify your basics:

1. Pull lace along the bottom half of one or both bra cups, sewing it down around the underwire portion.

2. Adorn your bottoms simply with a rhinestone-dotted bow, perhaps made from the same ribbon that lined your bra strap(s), at the center of the back of the waistband.

3. Sew buttons, gems, or ribbon flowers to bra straps or between the cups.

4. Thread ribbon along the length of one or both bra straps, tacking it down with matching or clashing thread at random intervals along the way.

Tip #2

Colin Darland/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Add a small gem and bow or other adornment to spice up an otherwise ordinary pair of underwear and save a lot of money.

CAT MIX songs to keep you PROCRASTINATING ‘Out of My Mind (live)’ John Mayer

1

Can’t concentrate? Here’s ten minutes and 12 seconds of gloriously wasted time riddled with Mayer-tastic musings and bluesy beats.

I go “Out of My Mind” all the time …

— Kim Kotel

‘Happy Ending’ Mika

2

It might feel like there’s no happy ending in that stack of papers you’re supposed to be studying. But Mika’s four-and-a-half-minute pianodriven melodic track makes you forget — almost. “I feel as if I’m wasted and I’ve wasted every day” — sounds like the week before finals.

— Jazmine Woodberry

Every song

The Black Eyed Peas

3

“I Gotta Feeling” that when I’m “Rockin To The Beat” of any BEP track, I’m destined to throw my “Hands Up” and push thoughts of homework “Out Of My Head.”

“Where Is The Love,” homework? You need to “Meet Me Halfway” so I can look at my syllabi and say to myself, “Let’s Get It Started.”

— Remy Albillar

‘Don’t Stop the Music’ Rihanna

4

If you’re one of the few people on the planet who hasn’t heard this song, please do so the next time you don’t want to think about an upcoming deadline. What began as a way to “shake the stress away” quickly turns into something more: “I just came here to party / But now we’re rockin’ on the dance floor, acting naughty.” Who would want to work after that?

‘Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)’ The Temptations

5

One way to procrastinate is to wonder what could have been. The Temptations hit the right note of bittersweet reverie in their classic 1971 song. They lull us in the beginning: “To have a girl like her / is truly a dream come true.” The singer even imagines the family he’ll be raising with this girl who passes by his window every day, but as the chorus gently reminds us, “it was just my imagination, once again, / running away with me.”

— Steven Kwan

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Queen

6

You know all the lyrics. You know how to throw your voice and sing both parts of “Galileo (Galileo) Galileo figaro.” You know exactly when to crank it up to 11 and head-bang into rockin’ oblivion. Just listen to it one more time, then decide if you’ll write that essay or drop out of school and become a gun-toting, windchime-playing vagabond who goes any way the wind blows. Bonus distraction: type “Muppet Bohemian Rhapsody” into youtube, then watch on repeat for 45 minutes.

‘Elephants’ an artful adaptation of novel

By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT It’s the redeeming role that Robert Pattinson has been waiting for.

Alongside the ever-beautiful veteran Reese Witherspoon and an endearing elephant named Rosie , the “Twilight”

hunk shines (though he doesn’t sparkle) in the newly released “Water for Elephants.”

Pattinson’s brooding demeanor actually works for him in this dramatic, unexpectedly dark film about the highs and lows of a 1931 circus. Pattinson plays Jacob Jankowski, a first generation

Polish-American who accidentally joins a circus after a series of tragedies alter the course of his life. Jacob falls in love with the beautiful performer Marlena (Witherspoon) while training the new elephant Rosie, but their love wreaks havoc on the circus, since Marlena is married to the abusive ringleader

Meandering journey vs. fast-paced drama

August (Christoph Waltz).

“Water for Elephants” is based on the bestselling novel by Sara Gruen , which was written during the “National Novel Writing Month” contest. Despite some alterations, the adaptation was well executed. Check out some of the differences:

Fabulous feminist vs. damsel in distress

The book is written from Jacob’s first person perspective, which alternates between flashbacks of Jacob’s circus days and his current life in a nursing home. Jacob seasons major plot points with all his thoughts, emotions and every minute step along the way. As a result, the book is more of a long, personal journey through Jacob’s life than a thrilling romantic drama.

The first 70 pages of the book are taken care of in the first five minutes of the film. The film changes the alternating narrative structure to a simple frame tale that places the most emphasis on Jacob’s circus days. Although it isn’t as complex, the story is still emotionally charged and the film develops a faster pace and heightened sense of drama.

In both the book and the movie, it’s no secret that Marlena’s husband August is abusive. However, in the book, Marlena consciously chooses to leave the circus as well as her relationship. She lives on her own for a while before finally confessing her love to Jacob — and the couple returns to the circus a few days later, on Marlena’s own free will, in order to keep performing.

In the movie, Jacob convinces Marlena to leave August, and she only agrees because Jacob promises to take care of her instead. However, August catches them later that night (after the two have had sex, of course), and kidnaps Marlena to take her back to the circus. These events add a whole new sense of excitement to the romance but unfortunately downplay the book’s portrayal of female empowerment.

‘Water for Elephants’ vs. ‘Moonshine for a Married Woman’

Double trouble vs. demonized douche

In the novel, Jacob gets in an argument at the nursing home because one of the other old men claims that he carried “water for elephants” in a circus. Jacob knows from personal experience that no one could carry as much water as an elephant would need to drink, and he calls the man out on his absurd claim.

The phrase becomes a running joke throughout the rest of the nursing-home narrative and explains the book’s title.

Since the nursing home aspect of the story is seriously reduced in the movie, the character who coins the phrase “water for elephants” was cut from the script entirely. The story instead centers around Jacob’s love story with Marlena, so perhaps this calls for a change in title. Given the story’s Prohibition setting, something like “Moonshine for a Married Woman” may be more appropriate.

Photo courtesy of 4.bp.blogspot.com

In the book, the circus is owned by a ringleader named Uncle Al, and August is only the head trainer of the animals. Uncle Al, like August, is a violent and abusive villain, but August at least has a reason — he is a paranoid schizophrenic. This is no excuse for August’s abuse of animals and women, but it is an explanation.

In the movie, August is the owner of the circus as well as the ringleader and the head trainer. The film removes the character of Uncle Al completely and assigns all of his aspects to August as well. This simplifies the film greatly but sells August as the ultimate douche. After all, he’s become two villains in the body of one, and audiences have no explanation for his violence and villainy.

Documentary asks: Why are bees buzzing off?

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Photo courtesy of queenofthesun.com

Taggart Siegel’s documentary “Queen of the Sun” investigates why global bee populations have been steadily declining since 2006.

RESORT STYLE STUDENT LIVING

Much of the world’s economy depends on bees. This can be seen on modern supermarket shelves and in displays of fresh, canned and preserved fruits, grains and vegetables. But these are the most obvious results of their labor. Many nonfood items are also derived from plants that need bees to do their work.

So what would happen if there were no more bees around?

The disappearance of bees is the subject of director Taggart Siegel’s “Queen of the Sun: What Are the Bees Telling Us?” The Loft Cinema will be screening the documentary tonight at 7:30 as part of its “One Hit Wonders” series.

Bee populations around the world have been decreasing steadily in the past 40 years due to various factors: loss of habitat, pesticide use and commercial beekeepers going out of business. But in October 2006, beekeepers and entomologists in North America began reporting a significant drop in the number of their colonies with losses as high as 90 percent.

This event was called “colony collapse disorder.” The main sign of this phenomenon is that the hive queen is still alive but most, if not all, of the adult bees have disappeared. There are no dead bees left behind and honey and immature bees are often still present. It’s an apiary murder mystery.

“Queen of the Sun” not only examines the 2006 colony collapse disorder, but it also looks at the co-dependent relationship humans and bees have cultivated over the millennia. The documentary focuses on Gunther Hauk, a beekeeper and farmer who created the world’s first bee sanctuary in Floyd, Va., in response to colony collapse disorder.

Last year, The New York Times reported that entomologists and military researchers in Montana and Maryland believed they had found a major cause for the ongoing disappearance of bees: a fungus and virus may be infecting them together. Even if the researchers findings prove to be conclusive, “Queen of the Sun” offers an alternative look at why bees are dying and what can be done to resolve the mystery.

campuscreatives:

Patrick Baliani

English prof translates Italian drama for the American stage before you’re even awake the “Decameron,” translated by the professor from Italian into English, and weaves them into a cohesive script. Wildlife chatted about the play with Baliani in his office earlier this week.

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The “Decameron,” debuting at the Rogue Theatre this weekend, takes place in Italy in 1348 . But to Patrick Baliani, the translator and playwright, it might as well be set in 2008.

“You’ll see that despite 650 years of change, we still have our basic desires, our need for each other, our insecurities, our prejudices, our longings, our fears and our hopes and dreams,” Baliani said. “Not much has changed.”

Two years ago on December 8, the English lecturer received an email from the play’s soon-to-be director Joe McGrath about “The Pot of Basil,” one of more than 100 novellas contained in Giovanni Boccaccio ’s oft-referenced “Decameron.”

“Chaucer, Shakespeare , everyone took from the ‘Decameron,’” Baliani said.

The professor balances his schedule between theater endeavors and grading papers for beginning English classes by waking up at 4:30 every morning to write.

It took him two years of this effort and continuous revisions — including a half-page ax to part of his original script earlier this week — to finish what he calls an exhaustive translation and reformatting of the script. Baliani’s final product takes 10 stories from

What’s your experience with translating plays?

I’ve done quite a bit, as translation goes. I’ve translated a couple of stories and one major play. Then I did “Six Characters In Search of an Author” years ago and then once again for the Rogue.

Actually, I’m the only person I know who has translated it twice. I didn’t even look back at the old translation. If it’s new, I redo it.

To me, I’m not creating more work for myself — your tastes differ as you grow, your abilities morph. That’s what I love about theater, it is something new every night.

So, how do you think your translation of the “Decameron” would change if you came back a decade later and translated it again?

I would choose 10 new stories, to start, but what else would I change? When I go into rehearsal, sometimes I feel like I’ve written a tragedy.

Sometimes when I go in, it feels like a farce. Sometimes it

Is it hard to fit other endeavors in with your work at the UA?

feels extreme on the burlesque level — balancing all of that would happen the next time. And I wrote this with the actors (at the Rogue) in mind. Given Joe (McGrath’s) strong guiding hand and the accomplished actors and knowing their strengths and particular ways they work, their forces shaped the play.

That I would change 10 years from now, too.

People always say there aren’t enough hours in the day. I’ve come to think that there are just enough. You just need to adjust yourself and live accordingly. It’s not that I have any more hours than anyone else, but I don’t have any less hours than anyone else. I just adjust.

How does translating someone else’s work to fit a stage compare to writing your own words?

When you’ve written a good page, you feel energized. When you’ve translated a good page, you feel exhausted.

Writing is about freeing yourself. Translating, it’s a combination of freedom and binding, it’s exhausting really.

That’s why I start at 4:30 a.m. It’s about, well, I won’t call it concentration … call it entering the realm of the work. It’s easier to do that when the other realms of your life haven’t opened.

What should people be prepared for in this version of the Decameron?

It’s only five blocks away. … It’s a cultural treasure, the Rogue Theatre. I encourage students to come out because there’s music and acting, it’s visual and aural, and that’s what young people are all about. Often we assume that theater is for another generation, but it’s 13th-century content performed by 21stcentury artists. There’s mature content, people should know about that. But people asked me, “How are you going to get away with this without an R-rating?” and I say, “Our culture is X-rated. This is nothing.” People should just be prepared for fun.

Why wait?

A senior’s defense of marrying young super independent, have a fantastic job and have finally learned how to file my taxes.

But marrying at 22 might not be such a bad idea. In August 2009, the American Sociological Association gathered data suggesting that those who marry past 30 run the risk of ending up with poorerquality marriages. According to the study, “the greatest likelihood of being in an intact marriage of the highest quality (is) among those who married at ages 22-25.”

It makes sense. Being young, we aren’t set in our ways and are willing to play the give-andtake game necessary for a successful marriage.

It’s easier to start a life with somebody rather than phasing someone into a life already established. We’re graduating into one of the crappiest economies that students have ever seen. A diploma comes with no certainties now, and since we’re starting on square one, we might as well head into the world with someone we love.

Obviously, life won’t disintegrate into despair and disillusionment if you get married the day after your 30th birthday. But also don’t rush off with your partner of three months and get hitched in Vegas next weekend. Joe and I thought through our future lives and made the decision to get married with a certainty you will only experience once.

There isn’t much to life but timing. Joe and I will move to New York City in the fall while he attends medical school. I don’t know how my life will end up, but having him in it is all the certainty I need.

Unless you have somewhere to be, be with someone you love. If that means 30, great. If that means 22, that’s awesome too. So if you have someone amazing in your life and you know you want to be with them, why wait?

COMMENTARY BY Kathleen Roosa arts writer

A

nd this is my husband, Joe.” I should be getting used to the reaction — the widening of eyes, the hesitating smiles and quick glances to the diamond ring on my left hand, verifying that I am, in fact, not joking.

My name is Kathleen Roosa. I’m a graduating senior in finance and creative writing. I am 22 years old. And yes, I am married.

I introduce Joe Zakhar as my husband in one of two ways. The first is a rushing giddiness, a desire to pluck daisy petals or maybe sing something from “The Sound of Music” while dancing awkwardly. It’s a statement of pride, inspired by the natural history of his laughter I spy in the turned-up corners of his mouth.

The second is said defiantly through a knifelike smile. “THIS is my husband, Joe.” It’s a forceful declaration. It’s a manifesto of my right to be a wife.

Because I know what they’re thinking, the men and women with raised eyebrows — not just strangers, but friends I’ve known for years.

They’re thinking I’m too young. That I have no experience. That we haven’t been together long enough.

I know what they’re thinking “

because it’s run through my head 1,000 times.

Every way you could possibly condemn me as a full-blown idiot has already been considered.

I know how crazy it seems to be married at 22, attending school full time and working. My life is a conflagration of to-do lists, calendar notes and heavily doodled notebooks. I know it seems insane. Trust me, I’m living through it.

My only defense is a love that I can’t describe without jumping headfirst into a pit full of clichés. So excuse the following lines.

The way I love my husband is not only a reason to wake up in the morning, but a reason to stay up at night (sometimes very late into the night).

What surprised me most about marriage is that it’s not as big a deal as pop culture makes it out to be. I’m not domesticated. I wasn’t

stuck at home folding Joe’s underwear after saying “I do.” Come the weekend, we head out with our friends to bars or restaurants. We don’t feel old and grown up. We’re just two kids lucky enough to find our match before we set out on our lives.

I’m not saying that marriage isn’t work. It takes a lot of honest communication (no mind games ladies!). When things get tough, I can’t run back to my apartment and curl up with a Jane Austen movie. There’s no nasty emails or angry drunk calls since we’re almost always together. And, of course, there is no breaking up for the experience of getting back together six hours later. This marriage stuff is forever.

I, like many students, thought I’d be married quite a bit after college. Maybe late 20s or early 30s. When I found that guy, I’d be

Chelsey Barthel

Journalism junior What is bigger for you, New Year’s Eve or Star Pass Pool party?

Star Pass pool party!

New year’s you always build it up to be something great, and it always turns out to suck and you have to kiss one person. But star pass pool party …

You can kiss whoever!

Star Pass pool party is literally amazing. I look forward to it. Everyone is excited to be there, all your friends are coming in town, it is just an epic day of fun.

What are you doing to prepare for the big day?

Not eating, I am exercising, going to lay out, find a cute bathing suit, my friends are coming in town for it.

Are you going to be participating in the wet T-shirt contest?

No, I didn’t even know there was one.

Have you ever won any contests?

No, I’ve never really participated in that kind of stuff, but you know it could be eye opening. Star Pass could be the day for this. Who knows?

How would you feel if any of your professors joined you at the pool party? I’ve heard a lot of professors inquiring about the upcoming party …

I would be excited if my professors went, I think we all should be on our best behavior, though. I don’t know how well that would go over, though. It might ruin a few careers. If they are there, they are just as liable.

HOROSCOPES

Aries (March 21 - April 19) — Today is a 6 — The next two days are about follow-up and completion.

Don’t take it too seriously.

A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down. Burn calories and frustrations. Listen to your dreams.

They do come true.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20) — Today is a 6 — Time to get together with friends.

Being interested makes you interesting. Travel a new route. Moderate a clash between normally gentle souls. Provide common sense where you find it lacking.

A paper chain, made by students, rings around Karen Niehausen’s classroom in North Lake, Wis. Niehausen, a Kohl Award winning teacher at North Lake School, is planning to retire at the end of the school year, partly because she is afraid of what the future might hold for teachers with the potential loss of collective bargaining rights looming.

Die-hard Tupac impersonator prepares for big-screen audition

If you saw Josh Harraway walking down the street, you might think you’d just seen a ghost. A very famous ghost.

That’s because Harraway, an actor and filmmaker living in Los Angeles, looks exactly like slain ‘90s rapper Tupac Shakur, right down to the facial features, height, weight and clothes.

The uncanny resemblance doesn’t go to waste.

Since 2005, Harraway has been cashing in on his looks by moonlighting as a professional Tupac imper-

sonator, performing at parties, bars and events as the iconic rapper.

“I’m the world’s first Tupac impersonator,” Harraway said. “I know I might not be the first look-alike, but as far as I know, I’m the first impersonator to make a living performing as Tupac.”

Harraway said he’s been flown out to places such as Las Vegas, Chicago and Ireland over the years to perform songs like “California Love” by Tupac. He was even hired to re-enact Tupac’s unsolved slaying in the TV series “Famous Crime Scene,” which

Cancer (June 22 - July 22) — Today is an 8 — Suddenly everything seems possible, and it is.

Before launching into the next fantastic adventure, finish off chores. Hitch your wagon to a star for fun and profit.

For that gig, Harraway had to reenact the rapper’s famous death scene in Las Vegas alongside an equally convincing Suge Knight look-alike.

After simulating the fatal shooting on camera, Harraway was zipped into a body bag, thrown on a gurney and taken away by an ambulance.

He then had to lie naked — and perfectly still — on an autopsy table to portray the examination of Tupac’s dead body.

Allison Slater graduated with a

Bachelor’s in December 2007.

Originally from Huntington Beach, California, she came here with definite plans and stuck to them during her entire academic career.

She wanted to get a degree that would enable her to land a position in the sports department of a television news station or doing public relations for a professional sports organization. She found her internship in the sports department of KVOA News Channel 4 in Tucson by talking to as many people as possible about her career goals and her passion for sports. “It has been a very informal way to network, but it has been a success for me so far.” Her extraordinary informal networking skills kicked in for this assignment.

Do you love being a student?

Do you enjoy an energetic, fun environment with lots of student activities? Have you ever wished you could stay in school forever?

As much as permanent student status has an appeal, realistically the need to pull down a paycheck to pay the landlord and…well… eat, may be deterrents to that plan.

Why not consider the field of education? You could do the flipside of LEARNING in the hallowed halls of educational institutions and that would be…

TEACHING. Or perhaps accounting, or maybe human resources, or leading the library team; many professional positions are required to run an effective educational facility and teaching is just one of them.

Education is the second largest industry in this country with 54% of the available positions being non-teaching. This is an exciting and challenging industry and one that can be personally fulfilling.

Whatever your degree, there are a wide range of opportunities for students to consider within the field of education.

You can potentially take part in all aspects of education, from working directly with students to working for the educational system itself. Opportunities can be found in the human resources office as an office supervisor, curriculum analyst and accountant.

BASEBALL continued from page 20 of perfect baseball.

Nine batters came up and nine sat down, in what was easily Bandilla’s best outing of the season.

“It feels good to come up and pitch nine up, nine down for my team,” he said. “I feel pretty comfortable right now, just keep pitching every single day and working hard out in practice, and it correlates to on-the-field work. I feel pretty good right now, though, so I should be fine.”

Regarding the last few weeks of conference play, Bandilla still has plenty of confidence in his team.

“Were not panicking, but we’ve backed ourselves into a corner with the way we’ve played now,” he said. “We’re going to have get hot this weekend. We can’t drop another series in Pac-10. That’s really hurt us. We’ll figure it out, though.”

Although Lopez applauded Bandilla’s performance last night, the lingering problem all season has been his consistency. Due to that, Lopez’s confidence in Bandilla has yet to be

Remaining schedule April 29 – May 1: vs. USC May 6 – May 8: vs. Alcorn State May 14 – May 16: at WSU May 20 – May 22: at Stanford May 27 – May 29: vs. Washington cemented.

“It was a nice outing for (Bandilla), someone give him a hug and a kiss,” Lopez chuckled.

“But we need consistency.”

It’s go time for the Wildcats, and the formula is simple.

If they win, they’ll make the postseason, but if they continue to lose games, the season will be lost as well.

“I still think we’ve got time,” said Arizona catcher Jett Bandy. “I think we have four weeks left of Pac-10 series. We’ve gotta win all of those.

There’s no question flat out — we’ve gotta win all of those.”

SOFTBALL continued from page 20 “If it’s a line drive in a game it would be a little different. But, my God, sitting on the bench reading the scouting report and missing four players before it hits her … wow,” Candrea said.

Fowler sustained a concussion while sitting on the bench in the final game of the Washington series and has not returned since.

Freshman pitcher Shelby Babcock has taken on most of the responsibility on the mound, but Candrea had to use second baseman Victoria Kemp, first baseman Baillie Kirker and left fielder Brittany Lastrapes against ASU last weekend.

Candrea said nearly two weeks later, there still isn’t a definite time for her return, and

that he would use the position players against Oregon if needed this weekend.

’Cats fall in the rankings

The Wildcats suffered their first series sweep at the hands of the ASU Sun Devils and fell to No. 10 in the national rankings. ASU moved up to the top spot in the nation with 20 firstplace votes. Only one other Pac10 team — California, No. 9 — cracked the top 10.

The rest of the Pac-10 is grouped together with Arizona at No. 10, UCLA at No. 11, Washington at No. 12 and Stanford at No. 13.

Oregon, Arizona’s opponent this weekend, moved up to No. 16.

Arizona was one of three teams to fall as a result of the weekend play along with Stanford and Washington.

Defensive end Ricky Elmore led the Pacific 10 Conference in sacks for the last two seasons but is still projected as a mid-to-late round pick in this weekend’s NFL Draft. Elmore, who might have to move to outside linebacker in the NFL, said that he will use the low draft pick as motivation.

ELMORE continued from page 20 “He deserves a lot more recognition than a lot of guys that you see in the first round,” Reed added. “Compare stats next to each other, they’re as good or better than some of the top guys that are being drafted.”

Reed happens to be “one of those guys in the first round” who Elmore out-produced through college. Elmore finished with more sacks and tackles for a loss in 2009 and 2010, yet Reed was selected firstteam All-Pac-10 last season and Elmore finished his career with no such honor.

“Ricky still gets no respect,” said Ricky’s twin brother and former Wildcat Cory Elmore. “They’re saying he’s going to be a fifth-round draft pick. He still gets no respect even after the success he had.

Teams game-planning against him, he was getting double and triple teams and still getting 11 sacks. It’s just stupid.”

Ricky Elmore’s been underappreciated on a national stage since his high school days at Grace Brethren High School in Simi Valley, Calif. Grace Brethren switched from eight-man football to 11-man in 2002, proving Ricky Elmore certainly didn’t come from a football hotbed.

But his lack of credit has given him a chip on his shoulder that helped him become one of the Pac-10’s elite defensive players and could very well lead to a successful NFL career.

Ricky Elmore Combine stats Height: 6-foot-5 Weight: 255 lbs.

40-yard dash: 4.88 225 lb. bench reps: 26 Vertical: 31.5 inches “I don’t know why people count me out and pay attention to only 2 percent of what I’ve done, but I’m kind of happy I’m in that position because it makes me have that chip on my shoulder,” he said. “I think that’s kind of got me where I am.”

Reed said, “Ricky might be surprised and might be drafted a lot higher than the media thinks,” but barring a drastic change, Ricky Elmore won’t be drafted Thursday night, whether he’s watching or not.

Depending on how things go, he may not be selected on Friday night either. But for a player who’s been overlooked and discounted his entire football career, he’d have it no other way.

“This is what I want to be doing. I don’t care if people like everything about me,” Ricky Elmore said. “I’m glad I’m not one of those guys that’s going to blow up and be a bust someday. I’m going to be one of those guys who works hard and proves people wrong.”

Close, but no cigar

’Cats finish season strong

Wildcats drop to 1-4 against ASU after 4-3 loss to the Sun Devils

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat After losing three straight to the No. 8 ASU, the Arizona baseball team needed to come up with the victory in it’s final meeting of the season against its in-state rivals. But a solid offensive performance by the Sun Devils clipped the Wildcats chances as they fell 4-3 in Tucson last night.

Arizona (24-16, 6-10 Pacific 10 Conference) starting pitcher Kurt Heyer got hit early, as a second inning Sun Devil rally led to three earned runs coming off of five hits from the right-hander.

The Wildcats responded with two runs in the home half of the inning, but the one-run lead was enough for the Sun Devils (29-9, 12-4 Pac-10) to keep up the advantage for the rest of the game.

For Arizona, the possibility of time running out is a big factor, and with only four conference weekends left on the schedule, change needs to happen for a posseason run.

“If we continue to lose two out of three then, yes, (we will be out of time),” said Arizona head coach Andy Lopez. “I think there’s still plenty of time left to do what we need to do, we need to start winning series. My god, it’s ridiculous, to win on Friday and not come out with at least two, it’s inexcusable.”

Despite coming up with the loss, the Wildcats can take confidence in reliever Bryce Bandilla’s performance.

Catcher Jett Bandy pops one up in Arizona’s 4-3 loss to ASU on Tuesday night at Frank Sancet Stadium. The loss dropped the Wildcats to 1-4 against the Sun Devils this season. On the bright side, Arizona received a good outing from its bullpen, highlighted

by Bryce Bandilla’s three perfect innings.

The Arizona men’s tennis team had lost nine in a row by a combined score of 44-16 heading into this past weekend — a fitting snapshot of an overall down season.

Despite that, the Wildcats erased all of the negative memories and focused on their match against Boise State. The final regular-season game for star Andres Carrasco, along with three other seniors, would not go down as just another negative on a losing season. Without question, the struggles the team has faced this year proved to be a motivating factor in a victory over a team they had already defeated once this year.

“The guys have dealt with a lot of adversity this year,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz. “I’m proud that they had a solid win to end the regular season.”

The No. 61 ranked Wildcats and No. 50 ranked Broncos started their match on Sunday with singles action.

Boise State jumped to an early 1-0 lead when Wildcat senior Geoff Embry fell to Nathan Sereke. The team would not stay down for long, however, as Frank Chen, Mario Urquidi and freshman Giacomo Miccini won three matches in a row. After a loss

by Andre Vidaller, the final singles match of the day came down to senior captain Andres Carrasco.

Carrasco won the 68th match of his career 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.

Orange you glad you can see now?

By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Two members of the Arizona Wildcats softball team aren’t exactly seeing red, but it’s close.

Seniors Lauren Schutzler and Stacie Chambers have started wearing Nike MAXSIGHT Sport Tinted contact lenses, a product head coach Mike Candrea first used during the 2008 Olympics while coaching Team USA. While Schuztler and Chambers aren’t the first Wildcats to have the lenses — backup first baseman Alicia Banks was given a pair but chose not to use the contacts — Schuztler and Chambers have been wearing the specialized lenses since February.

Chambers said the effects of the lenses, which filter out a certain light wavelength, are helping her game.

“I found out about them from my vision doctor where I do my vision therapy stuff,” Chambers said. “They basically just help make the ball a little brighter because I struggle with that.”

Schutzler said for her, the darkened background caused by the non-prescription lenses helps to make the ball brighter.

“The green is a little bit greener and the sky is not as bright,” Schuzler said. “It’s kind of like sunglasses and it clarifies things a little bit for me.”

There are two different types of Nike MAXSIGHT lenses — amber for fast tracking sports and grey-green for sports in bright lights.

Under the lights, Chambers and Schutzler ’s eyes glow with a distinctive orange hue as a result of the effects of the amber contacts.

Schutzler said she’s played around with the technology, but finally found the pair that enhances the ball properly.

“I’ve had a few different pairs,” Schutzler said. “I finally found some that feel really good and it seems to be working out.”

Still questions in the circle

With the absence of Kenzie Fowler for the past week due to a concussion, the Arizona Wildcats are struggling to find consistency in the circle.

“You never want to be caught shorthanded and most of the time you’re not,” Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat Candrea said. “We’ve never had a pitcher Outfielder Lauren Schutzler looks over the field with her Nike MAXSIGHT Sport Tinted contact lenses. hit in the head the way it happened.

Same old story for Ricky Elmore

Every April, millions of fans and hundreds of draft hopefuls huddle around their television sets to watch the NFL draft unfold.

This year, Ricky Elmore may not be one of them.

“I don’t even know if I’m going to watch it,” Elmore said. “I’ll probably just go to the gym or something.”

It’s not that Elmore doesn’t care about where he’ll start his NFL career, he’s just cut from a different cloth. He doesn’t spend his time agonizing over mock drafts and isn’t interested in the experts’ opinion of his potential.

Maybe that’s because the so-called experts have always been wrong about the 6-foot-5, 255-pound defensive end.

“When I came to college I wasn’t even in the top 100 in California and look at me now. I was like the 37th defensive end for

California,” Elmore said. “What does that mean? The guys who were No. 1, what do they do?

“These draft experts aren’t really experts, they’re just voices in the crowd trying to make a scene and make all of the drama. I just don’t really agree with the hype that people get.”

Despite leading the Pac-10 in sacks in both 2009 and 2010, Elmore is projected as a mid-to-late round pick. NFLdraftscout. com tabbed him as a sixth-round pick, Cbssports.com listed him as the 18th-best defensive end and ESPN.com slotted him as the 23rd-best defensive end.

Elmore’s thought to be too small to play defensive end in a 3-4 system, yet too slow to play outside linebacker, which is where most teams have worked him out.

But as fellow teammate and future NFL draftee Brooks Reed said, “His film and stats speak for themselves.”
