Students harassed at UA

Some students on campus claim to have been harassed for the way they look — and it has nothing to do with race. The UA’s main website states: “At the University of Arizona, diversity isn’t just about talk. It’s about action. We build accessible and welcoming environments that support success.” The action is bolstered by the work of UA departments, such as the Office of Institutional Equity or, in extreme cases, the Judicial Affairs branch of the Dean of Student’s Office. “The University of Arizona will be a vibrant, inclusive community of diverse students, faculty and staff who value, challenge and inspire each other,” according to the website of the UA’s Office of Institutional Equity. Yet there are some UA students who feel as though they have been subjected to discrimination or profiling based on their appearance, race or even age. Stephen Green, an art education major, is part of an older generation, what he calls “non-traditional aged” college students. On April 18 at approximately 1:40 p.m., Green says he lie down for a nap in between classes on a sofa chair on the second floor in the UA Performing Arts building. After 15 minutes, Green says he heard a loud voice in close proximity to him. “What are you doing here?” the voice asked. The man identified himself as a UA professor and demanded to see Green’s CatCard. “I told him that I’d never seen him before and that I didn’t know who he was,” Green said. “So I asked him if I could see his identification as well.” After this exchange, the man, whom Green later identified as UA instructor of theatre arts, Matthew Marcus, left the immediate area and called campus police. Two uniformed officers arrived 10 minutes later. After speaking with Green and confirming that he was a student, one of the officers allegedly told Green to“be the bigger man and forget about this.” But for Green, it wasn’t that simple. “I was really upset, traumatized, embarrassed, humiliated,”he said. Green has since filed an official report with the UAPD department and is seeking recourse from the university, though he does not know what form that recourse will take. “It’s been very difficult for me to be on campus in general,” Green said. “I’ve missed several classes since then, and I don’t know if I can catch up or not. My main concern now is that the university addresses this in a way so that it never happens again.” Marcus declined to comment on the incident. Fellow UA student Todd DeFrank, in his mid-50s, alleges that he was stopped no less than six times by UAPD between June 2008 and April 2009 due to his appearance and age. DeFrank, who sports a large gray beard and walks with a crutch, says that his first encounter with UAPD occurred two weeks after he began school in June 2008. After losing his CatCard along with other forms of identification DeFrank went to the MISJUDGE, page A6

Members of the College of Optical Sciences’ Remote Sensing Group Nate Leisso, back, a postdoctoral student, and Charles Burkhart, an instrument maker and designer, calibrate a Short-wave Infrared Radiometer on the UA Mall on Tuesday. Leisso and Burkhart said that the clear, sunny weather was perfect to calibrate the radiometer for better use in their indoor lab.

About 200 people attended Diamonds in the Sky, a fashion show fundraiser intended to raise money for the Diamond Children’s Medical Center. The fundraiser, which took place on April 30, was pioneered by Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. Stephen Wallace. “Nearly all of the chairs were filled,” he said. The total profit was not available as of press time. The ASUA senate approved $5,000 for the event. Wallace initially requested $7,000 but lowered the amount upon receiving $4,000 from special events and $502 from the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership. The fashion show ticket prices were originally set for $20 a person, but, just days before the show,Wallace lowered the cost to $5 to get more people to attend. “We really wanted to fill it up, so we asked for a lower price,”Wallace said. He added that there were a lot of UA students at the event. “It was a great mixture of both Diamond Medical Center employees and supporters, as well as students, but the majority of attendees were students, which is great,”Wallace said. The event had four fashion designers, three of whom were Scottsdale Fashion Designers of the Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Several fashion designers made new lines of clothing for the show. “(ASUA) did a great time getting everyone together. It was chaotic at first when the models were running around, but it was incredible, I didn’t really have to do anything,” said designer Yu Yu Shiratori. Shiratori made mostly dresses and FASHION, page A6

Editors in chief ready for future By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The University of Arizona Media Board has chosen editors in chief for the upcoming summer and fall editions of the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Kevin Zimmerman, currently an assistant sports editor, was chosen to head the Arizona Summer Wildcat. Zimmerman has served on staff since 2008 as a sports reporter, assistant sports editor and sports editor. “At the time (2008), I was working as a stringer covering high school football for the (Arizona) Daily Star, but I e-mailed (current Editor in Chief) Lance Madden for an interview back when he was the sports editor, and he brought me on,” Zimmerman said. “This is a great opportunity first of all to lead, and I like to watch people develop which is the most rewarding part. There’s never a day working here that’s the same as the day before or the day after.” Zimmerman will focus on expanding the Summer Wildcat’s use of multimedia and Internet media to

the web director for the Daily Wildcat this semester. Darland has been with the paper since the 2008 fall semester. According to Mark Woodhams, the director of student media and faculty adviser for the Daily Wildcat, Darland is only the second non-journalism major to be named editor in chief of the daily edition of the Daily Wildcat in the past 16 years. He is currently an economics major. “In this day and age with so many competing sources of news, it’s really important for the Wildcat to offer up a product that no one else does in a way that continues to resonate with the readers,”Woodhams said. Darland, though, is not letting his lack of journalism experience hold him back. “I think to a degree it will help because I can give a fresh viewpoint to the paper,” Darland said.“Having come from a outside the circle, I can give an outside perspective. I can also surround myself with the right people so that any deficiencies there are in myself, my

New question: Do you plan on attending a summer music festival? Claire Engelken

Journalism senior OK, first we’re going to play marry, bang, kill. Yes! I love this game. OK, marry, bang, kill: Jan Brewer, Joe Arpaio, John McCain. OK. I would marry McCain because he’s loaded. He has a few houses, and all his kids are grown so I wouldn’t be forced to reproduce miniMcCains. I don’t even think that’s biologically possible anymore. And he’s going to die. Hello, Cindy and I can go get facelifts and shop at Nordstrom’s. I would bang Jan Brewer, because I feel like if anyone needs a good bang right now, it’s Jan Brewer. She’s obviously stressed, making bad decisions. I feel like maybe Jan just needs a weekend bang sesh and then she could try again at this whole governor thing. And then, I’d take one for the team and kill Joe Arpaio. Even if I had to wear a pink jumpsuit in Tent City. Same question. Regina George, Lady Gaga, and Britney circa “Hit Me Baby One More Time.” Oh my God! No! OK, I would marry Lady Gaga, because she’s my absolute hero and I gotta tie that shit down. And think of the joint closet. Think of the wedding dress! I would hook up with Britney because that’s when she was hot and pre C-sections and all that. And she just looks like a freak. Now she’s someone’s mom and that just freaks me out. And I guess I have to kill Regina George, but only because you made me. How do you feel about clothes on dogs? Hilarious. But also I just don’t feel like anyone should get to dictate anyone else’s fashion. So I just feel like unless your dog’s picking it out himself, you’re just projecting onto your dog.You’re like,“My dog is so preppy, it’s so weird that he’s just like me!”But really, you’re just projecting. I don’t recall your dog going into the store and being like,“Do you have this in a medium?” I enjoyed that. So you’re graduating. How are you feeling about that? Um. I feel like I need a drink. Best and worst choice in four years. Tie for best choice: Going abroad was fabulous. Everyone tells you. I have all those cliché it-changed-my-life stories, because it totally did. And tie for living alone senior year. It was great. I’ve had the most fun senior year possible. I don’t know, not too many worst choices. What are your plans next? My plans in the immediate future are to quietly steal money from my parents in Kansas, and then, after a brief stopover, I’m going to South Korea to teach English. Very cool. Do you think you have to carry your papers there, or is that just in Arizona? I don’t know, because I just feel like I couldn’t look more like I’m not from there, so I’m thinking I’ll get an American flag patch, very circa Nazis (gestures to arm), like loud and proud. But also, let’s be honest, if they ask me for my papers I’m not going to know what they’re saying. So I think if anyone talks to me I’ll just offer my papers. Or point to my blonde hair repeatedly. — Heather Price-Wright

Study: Stomach cancer up in young, white adults CHICAGO — Scientists are puzzling over a surprising increase in stomach cancer in young white adults, while rates in all other American adults have declined. Chances for developing stomach cancer are still very low in young adults but the incidence among 25- to 39-year-old whites nonetheless climbed by almost 70 percent in the past three decades, a study found. National Cancer Institute researchers and colleagues examined new cases from 1977 to 2006 of cancer in the lower stomach, which can be caused by chronic infection with a common bacteria called H. pylori. It also

causes stomach ulcers. Overall, there were 39,003 cases detected in a surveillance program that covers about onefourth of the U.S. population. These included only 734 white young adults, but their incidence rate climbed from .54 per 200,000 to about 1 per 200,000. Among white adults aged 25 to age 84, the rate declined from almost 12 per 200,000 to 8 per 200,000; among black adults it declined from about 27 per 200,000 to 19 per 200,000. Rates also declined for other races, which weren’t specified. Dr. Jaffer Ajani, a digestive cancer specialist

at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, said the increase in young white adults is surprising but not alarming. Ajani, who was not involved in the research, said it could be a statistical blip but that it needs to be investigated. The study appears in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association. It focused on lower stomach cancer, not cancer of the upper stomach, which has been linked with gastric reflux. Together, these cancers are the fourth most common type of cancer worldwide. — The Associated Press

‘Fela!’ and ‘La Cage’ dominate Tony nods

NEW YORK — Two strikingly different musicals, “Fela!” and “La Cage aux Folles,” dominated the star-laden 2010 Tony Awards nominations. “Fela!” — the innovative Afro-beat biography of Nigerian superstar Fela Anikulapo-Kuti — and “La Cage aux Folles” — a revival of the classic Jerry Herman-Harvey Fierstein musical celebrating family — each received 11 nods on Tuesday as Jeff Daniels and Lea Michele announced the nominees for the 64th annual awards during a news conference. They were followed by the revival of August Wilson’s “Fences,” with 10 nominations and the musical“Memphis,” La Cage aux Folles with eight. “I actually got to call Jerry Herman, ‘cause he’s on the West Coast, and break the news to him,” said Fierstein, whose“La Cage”won a best-musical Tony in 1984 and then a best musical-revival Tony in 2005.“We have had this child together since we began writing it in‘81 or‘82, so it’s always good when you get to call the other parent and tell them that the child is doing well.” The critically maligned “Addams Family,” based on the New Yorker cartoons, was one of the most anticipated musicals of the season. It managed only two nominations, for Andrew Lippa’s music and lyrics, and for featured actor Kevin Chamberlin, who plays Uncle Fester in the show. “Addams”stars Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth were among the notable omissions for nominations. Also missing in action were Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman, stars of Keith Huff’s police melodrama “A Steady Rain,” the big box-office sensation of last fall. And so were the star, John Gallagher Jr., and director, Michael Mayer, of“American Idiot.” Best play nominations went to “Red,” John Logan’s incisive look at an artist — Mark Rothko — at work;“Time Stands Still,” Donald Margulies’ examination of a photojournalist’s intense commitment to her craft; Geoffrey Nauffts’“Next Fall,”a story of belief and non-belief; and Sarah Ruhl’s “In the Next Room (or the vibrator play),” a comedy about female liberation of a very specific kind. “Red” received seven nominations. Among its nominees was Alfred Molina, who portrays Rothko. He will compete in what is perhaps the starriest Tony category - actor-play. His challengers: Denzel Washington, who plays an embittered sanitation worker with dashed dreams of baseball glory in“Fences”; Liev Schreiber, an obsessive Brooklyn longshoreman in “A View From the Bridge”; Christopher Walken, a peculiar fellow seeking revenge in “A Behanding in Spokane”; and Jude Law as the melancholy Danish prince in“Hamlet.” “What a great honor,” Law said. “Bringing our production of Hamlet to New York will always be one of the highlights of my career and to receive this recognition amongst these other brilliant actors only makes this experience sweeter.” — The Associated Press

New ASUA senate to host SB1070 forum By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The 2010-11 Associated Students of the University of Arizona will meet for the first time Wednesday and will hold an open forum on Senate Bill 1070, which deals with Arizona’s immigration policies. SB1070 has been a subject of controversy since Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill on April 23. There will be no consent agenda at this forum because ASUA is done allocating funds this semester. The forum will have no formal outline, according to ExecutiveVice President Katherine Weingartner, but there will be a speakers list, which attendees can sign if they wish to make a speech. Speakers must put their names and e-mail addresses on ASUA’s sign-in sheet, so ASUA members can contact them if necessary. “Whoever shows up first can speak,”Weingartner said.“They’ll be given a minute or two to talk, they don’t need to RSVP to the meeting beforehand, attendees can just come in and say whatever they’d like.” Weingartner expects different groups and organizations to come and present speeches about their thoughts on SB1070. “Unfortunately, this happened during transition period,” Weingartner said in response to the forum taking place at the end of the

school year. “But we thought this was an important forum to address, even now, because it affects lots of students on the campus.” Weingartner said the forum is also in response to UA President Robert Shelton’s recent e-mail, which stated that some potential UA students will no longer be attending the university next fall as a result of SB1070. “We want to make sure we have an outlet for the people affected by this,” Weingartner said. “We have summer governance coming up, and the senate will have to decide how they will handle that.” Garrett Voge, a newly inaugurated senator, expressed excitement for the forum. “I think that allowing the students to voice their opinions on important issues such as this one is vital with such a large and diverse student body,”Voge said.“I encourage students to speak at the event or to simply go feel for what how UA students are reacting to the new state legislation.” Voge hopes the forum will be the first of many forums regarding university, state and national issues. “I am interested to hear how Arizona students feel about the bill and the possible consequences of it, rather than hearing it from the commonly referenced and often biased media sources,”Voge said. Tyler Quillin, a junior majoring in English and 2009-10 ASUA senator, said it’s the job of student

government to hold forums for discussion, but he is unsure that the forum will persuade people who have already developed their opinions on the subject of discussion. “Forums are places for people who are already invested in the issue, and they go and speak,” Quillin said. “There won’t be people at this forum simply looking to educate themselves on the issue, I don’t think. There will be people who are really for SB1070 and really against it. It’s difficult to find someone who is just going to the forum simply wanting to learn about an issue.” He was opposed to the February gun forum held by ASUA because he was concerned that attendees would have made up their minds before the forum took place. “It’s funny that the new senate hasn’t had a meeting yet, but they’re having a forum tomorrow,” Quillin said. “But it’s the role of student government to provide constructive situations where people can voice and discuss heated issues, and they’re doing that, I’m proud of the new senate for doing that.”

IF YOU GO The forum is today at 3:30 p.m. in the Ventana room of the Student Union Memorial Center.

UAgainst calling for the impossible

tudents, faculty and community members from a group known as UAgainst SB1070 will be holding a protest at noon today on the UA Mall. Members of the group are calling for immediate action, including denouncement of the bill by President Robert Shelton and refusal to implement the law by the University of Arizona Police Department. While political awareness that does not involve an MTV ad campaign is always a welcome change, the members of this group are setting their goals higher than the International Space Station . For those who have been under a rock on the moon for the past few months, Arizona Senate Bill 1070 makes it a state misdemeanor crime for a person who is not a U.S. citizen to be in Arizona without carrying registration documents required by federal law. It also obligates police Anna Swenson to make an attempt to Opinions editor determine a person’s immigration status if there is reasonable suspicion that the person is not a U.S. citizen. Its supporters say the law reinforces federal immigration law and critics say it legalizes racial profiling. Under the law, police may arrest a person if there is probable cause that the person is in the U.S. unlawfully. Changes made after the law was originally passed state that race may not be used as a factor, but critics remain skeptical. Your author does not mean to discourage the protestors braving the sun to make their opinions heard; this is a defensible and even admirable pursuit. But this group is not striving for awareness: they are calling for such illegal and impossible actions as a state-funded police department refusing to enforce a state law. Though the comparison is glib, it’s just as likely that a tank-topped demonstration by the Lambda Alpha Mu Epsilon bro-geois would persuade UAPD to overlook underage drinkers. The sentiments of the group start out well enough, according to a press release on the protest. “We commit to working to make UA campus a safe space for everyone. We call on our fellow Wildcats to monitor, speak against and report any abuses against community members.” But instead of focusing on educating voters and encouraging engagement in the civic process, the protest organizers set their sights elsewhere. Their press release is entitled “Students Demand UA President to Refuse Implementation of SB1070,” and the listed objectives of the protest are include an intention to persuade “President Shelton to denounce SB 1070,” for “UAPD to publicly refuse to enforce SB 1070,” and to “demand the repeal of SB 1070.” Starting with the most obvious, a state-funded police department cannot, will not and should not publicly neglect to enforce a state law. Likewise, the president of a state university is not going to (and, notably, should not) refuse to implement a state law. Anarchy may seem preferable to what some view as racial profiling, but this is the system of government in the United States, for better or for worse. Shelton won’t refuse to enforce a genuinely-passed state law. He can’t even talk about it, much less denounce the law. According to the UA Department of External Relations, UA employees are prohibited from “stating or implying, orally or in writing, that the employee is speaking on behalf of the University on a political … issue.” While the group could appeal to Robert Shelton, private citizen, given their language the group is far more interested in his position as UA president. For Shelton to comment on the issue is not only against UA policy, it’s against state law: As the External Relations website explains, “Arizona Revised Statutes § 15-1633 prohibits the use of University personnel, equipment, materials, building or other resources for the purpose of influencing the outcomes of election. This section encompasses elections for public office, bond issues, and initiative and referendum propositions.” As UAgainst SB1070 is calling for a vote in the legislature that would repeal the law, this provision precludes Shelton from even commenting on this issue. Political awareness, civic engagement, and (p)reservation of one’s rights are all admirable components of the democratic process. Advocating that government organizations ignore the law is not. Though some may argue the constitutionality of the law, its passage was through legitimate legal channels. If today’s protestors would really like to promote political change, they must operate within the system, too. If one disagrees with the actions of an elected official, all one can do is raise awareness so a different official with different politics will take office in the future. Rather than making rash, impossible and anarchic demands, the most meaningful action critics of the law can take is also one of the least glamorous: voting. — Anna Swenson is a sophomore majoring in English.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings. Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinions of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

MAILBAG It’s not my job

— implication of burning books (didn’t Nazis used to do that?) — implied violence (bombs are a bit politically incorrect at present) — anthropomorphizing a stack of bills to a violent visage: note the ‘corporate’-like hands, though at least it was smart enough to wear ear protection (!?!) But no. There were two more insidious factors at play here. First, there seems to be an implication that textbooks (and potentially their associated courses) are throw-away items. That shedding such burdens (“Send ‘em back from where they came”) will make your life better. On one hand, this is condescending with regard to what the university experience provides, but on the other hand, it is merely a cartoon-ized cash grab where you the students are being taken for the rubes! Second, I wouldn’t have minded so much if this advertisement were merely from some random business trying to make a buck (we do live in a free country). But no, to my horror, it was from the Arizona Bookstore, a business that has served“the students, faculty and staff of University of Arizona with pride since 1953.” This type of advertising has no place on this campus, nor should the UA condone such methods. It is not only an affront to the school itself, but to the UA community (students/staff/faculty/alumni) as well. Besides, you might actually want to hang on to those books. Never know if they might come in handy one day (at the very least to keep the door propped open, as summer is coming and all)!

The other night, my friend, who lives off campus, was at the Union with me studying for our chemistry test. It was a Saturday night, and we finished studying around 10:30 p.m. Little did we know, SafeRide is not open on Saturday nights. My friend lives on Drachman (Street) and did not want to walk home alone late at night, so I called the UAPD for her to ask if someone could come pick her up. The dispatcher told us that the UAPD does not drive off campus and told us to call SafeRide. After explaining to them that SafeRide was not open and being on hold for five minutes, someone was finally sent to come get my friend. I was in disbelief that I had to convince the UAPD to come drive my friend home late at night, even after I explained that she did not feel safe walking. It does not seem right to me that SafeRide is not open on Saturdays and that the UAPD was not willing to come pick up a 20-year-old girl and drive her five minutes down the road. — Marissa Murphy Nursing undergraduate

Sober pals

Thanks to Steven Kwan for his excellent article “Sober does not equal buzzkill” in the May 3 Daily Wildcat. In it, he articulately describes life as a student who enjoys relaxing after a stressful week as much as anyone, but who happens to abstain from alcohol. Wildcat readers may be surprised to learn just how many students don’t drink here at the UA. According to the 2009 Health & Wellness Survey (N=1,720), administered every spring semester to a random selection of undergraduate classes, 30 percent of UA students did not use alcohol in the past 30 days. While it can be easy to notice and overestimate the numbers of students who drink heavily, most students who drink at the UA drink moderately, if they drink at all. In fact, of all the alcohol consumed by UA students, 75 percent of students drink only 25 percent of the alcohol consumed. While there are still those who drink heavily, there are about the same number of students who don’t drink. If you are a graduating senior this semester, it may not be the late night study sessions, campus events or even the parties that you remember best from your years at the UA. Chances are, it will be the friends you share those experiences with. Whether you drink or not, there are plenty of social pursuits to foster those connections while you are here. Steven, you said it best: at the end of the day, the most important thing is to be there for our friends when they need us — with or without alcohol. — David Salafsky Campus Health Service

Call for consistency

As finals are coming up, I am finding myself comparing what I have to do for my classes with my friends. My friend and I were talking about what we have to turn in for our final English papers in our 102 classes. Her teacher is having their class write a 1300-1500 word rhetoric(al) analysis or revision of another student’s paper; my teacher’s final consists of a cover letter for our portfolio, a revision of one of our essays into a short memo, another revision of one of our essays into a speech, and a three-page reflective essay. When we compared the work we had to do throughout the year, the classes seemed about even, but still not exact. I think that the English department needs to standardize their curriculum so every 102 class, or any level English class, has the same required papers throughout the year and the same final assignment. I realize every teacher has their own way of grading which might be different from another teacher, but it does not seem fair that some classes write upwards of seven papers throughout the year while others only write five. — Marissa Murphy Nursing undergraduate

Higher bridges

I am writing to respond to Sean Robert Pinkerton’s letter entitled “Better borders,” published in today’s Wildcat. The letter is factually correct in its assertion that many countries, notably including Mexico, have much more harsh anti-illegal-immigration laws than does the United States. However,“they’re even worse than we are”is not, and has never been, a valid argument for or against legislation. I doubt that Mr. Pinkerton would favor rolling back civil rights legislation, simply because racism is more pronounced in France, Japan and South Africa than it is in the United States. I doubt that Mr. Pinkerton would support an end to workplace safety laws, simply because such laws are almost nonexistent (or not enforced) in China, Vietnam and El Salvador. And I doubt that Mr. Pinkerton would favor cutting back on the government subsidies that help pay for his education, simply because Berkeley, Michigan, and Illinois are even more expensive than the University of Arizona. The fact is, Mr. Pinkerton’s argument is a red herring. For over 200 years, the United States has stood as an example among nations, often venturing where no other country has gone. Let’s keep this spirit of boldness alive by debating the merits and morality of immigration legislation, not by looking to other countries for justification.

Other concerns

Proponents of Israeli divestment should look back approximately 70 years ago when a portion of the public chose to boycott Jewish businesses instead of protesting an emerging tyrannical leader that called for anti-Semitic genocide. It is quite obvious the IsraeliPalestinian conflict is very complex and heart breaking for those on both sides. However, divesting from Israel is not a great answer for the conflict when a Holocaust-denying president of Iran expresses great interest in annihilating both worldwide Jewry and this country as well. — Eitan Cramer

Boom goes the dynamite

After picking up the May 4 issue of the Daily Wildcat, I felt compelled to write a letter. Not so much because of the paper, but because of what fell out of it. There was an insert headlined “Money Beats Textbooks!” with a cartoon showing a stack of bills carrying a handful of dynamite apparently blowing up a book sporting a nice pair of brown pants. My jaw literally dropped. Could have been for a number of reasons, such as:

POLICEBEAT By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Fake gun, fake ‘gangbanger’

University of Arizona Police Department officers received reports on Friday at 9:56 p.m. about a suspicious man by the basketball courts behind the Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall. The students making the report said the man had a pistol tucked into the waistband of his pants. Four officers arrived to the courts, but the man with the gun was not in the area. The student had reported the man’s name and said he lived in Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall. The officers went to the man’s dorm room, but there was no answer. They explained the situation to the man’s resident assistant and advised him to call UAPD if he returned to the room. Before the officers left the building, the RA called and told them that the man was back in his room. The officers went back to the room and knocked on the door.They could hear movement inside the room and continued knocking until he finally opened the door. One of the officers told the man to put his hands in the air and get down on his knees. At the same time, another man in the room also was ordered to get on the ground. The man was handcuffed and asked if he had a gun on him. The man said he didn’t, and the officer noticed a toy pistol sitting on the man’s desk. The man told the officers that he was going to a party and had been dressed up like a“gangbanger.”The man had also drawn several tattoos on his skin including a large“13”on his neck. The other man in the room was released because he had just gone to the room to watch movies. The officers explained UA policies regarding weapons and fake weapons and explained the reasons they reacted the way they did. The community director arrived to the room and explained to the man that a group of girls reported him because they thought he had a gun and that he was entering the building to potentially shoot someone. The toy gun was confiscated and submitted to UAPD property to be destroyed. A Code of Conduct referral was completed and submitted to the Dean of Students.

Feces trail leads to drunk woman

A UAPD officer arrived at the Coronado Residence Hall on Friday at 2:36 a.m. in reference to someone having defecated on herself. The officer met with an on-duty RA, who said that someone reported an intoxicated woman. The officer found the woman sitting outside her dorm room in the hallway and identified her by her CatCard. The woman appeared sick. Her face was flushed, she had bloodshot eyes and her arms were folded over her stomach. She was also complaining of nausea and light-headedness. Tucson Fire Department paramedics were called to the scene. The woman said she had four shots of vodka in a friend’s dorm room in the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. After leaving the room, she said she went to a party off-campus but would not say where. The woman told the officer that she did not remember leaving the party and only remembers being woken up by her friend, who also lives in Coronado. The officer spoke with the friend, and she said she arrived back to her room at 2 a.m. and noticed a strong odor of feces coming from the bathroom. She went into the bathroom and saw feces all over the toilet, trashcan and floor. She said there was also a trail of feces leading to the woman’s room. When the friend got to the woman’s room, she found her passed out on her bed. She woke her up and called the on-duty RA. The woman told the officer that she knows she is not supposed to drink alcohol because she has a history of indigestion problems and this was the first time she had drunk in a long time. Paramedics advised that she be transported to University Medical Center, but the woman refused and said she had a doctor’s appointment that week. The officer cited and released the woman for minor in possession.

Vodka and vomit

A UAPD officer was on patrol in the area of Park Avenue and Lowell Street on Saturday at 11:20 p.m. when he saw two women on the south side of the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. He stopped to perform a welfare check. One of the women was lying on the ground with her head against a chain link fence. The other woman was trying to help her up. The officer asked the woman if she knew the person lying on the ground. She said,“No. I was just trying to help her get up.” The officer spoke with the woman on the ground and could smell a strong amount of alcohol on her breath. He asked her if she had been drinking and she said,“Yes, vodka.” When the officer asked her if she needed medical attention she said, “I’m OK, I don’t need help.” The officer asked the woman to sit up, and, when she did, she immediately started throwing up. Tucson Fire Department paramedics were called to the scene to evaluate the woman. They advised the officer that she be transported to UMC. At 4:25 a.m., the officer arrived to UMC to check on the status of the woman. She was alert and apologetic for her behavior. The officer cited the woman for minor in possession, and a Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students. 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.

According to DeFrank, the officers told him that an employee in the CatCard office, who said that he had been acting oddly, had called them. “It was very embarassing,” DeFrank said.“Everyone looks at me and they are

suspicious right off the bat. They only do it because of how I look, not how I act.” DeFrank also recounted being stopped twice in one week by who he claimed was the same UAPD bike officer, though he could not recall the officer’s name. UAPD public information officer Sgt. Juan Alvarez did not wish to comment since he was not familiar with either case and did not want to look them up. After being stopped several times by officers, DeFrank lodged an official complaint with the Dean of Students office and attended several meetings with Sarah Casares, the senior coordinator for student behavioral education. Casares was reached by phone but could not comment on DeFrank’s case due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.

EVERYONE HAS A STORY From ‘Harriet the Spy’ to UA grad By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Everyone Has a Story” is a weekly segment in the Arizona Daily Wildcat that aims to tell the story of an interesting person on the UA campus. This week, the Daily Wildcat interviewed its own Laura E. Donovan, a graduating senior who has been a reporter, columnist and editor with the paper. She is also the regular writer of this segment. At 4 years old, with an upside-down book and a sense of adventure, Donovan knew her passion was in writing. “I’ve known since I’ve had a personality that that’s what I wanted to do,” Donovan said. “Even before I could read, I had an interest in reading, writing and telling stories. I would run around with books, trying to decipher what was inside the pages.” “The runt of the pack” according to her brother, Donovan was born in Los Angeles, Calif., before moving to northern California at age 9. Carrying her “Harriet the Spy” composition notebooks, a young Donovan wrote constantly, but about“nothing high brow,”throughout her childhood.

Writing has always carried her through. “I’ve always been positive. I know how to get through certain situations,”she said. Her high school experience defined her. Her friends pushed her to get involved in track and field and student government. She also experienced tragedy — her father’s death on the morning of her senior prom. However, it was her arrival at the UA that determined her current life path. “I would read the Wildcat every day,” Donovan said. “I thought those columnists were so talented, they were so funny and so witty. So sophomore year, I decided to apply. That’s when I knew I was ready.” Donovan began weekly column writing and was excited to see her work in print. The summer after her sophomore year, spent in Washington, D.C., would be yet another defining experience. “My dad lived in New York City until he was 30. He was a taxi driver during college, and I just remember when I was little going with my dad and seeing his city,” she said, “but then I went to D.C. and thought ‘This is my city.’ New York is his place and now, this is my place.” Donovan pursued an internship for two

months, living at American University and working 40 hours a week. She was initially apprehensive, but, after settling into the city, learned a lot about herself and about where she needed to go. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh my God, I can’t do this,’ as soon as I moved to American University,” she said. “I couldn’t sleep the first two nights I was there.” Her experience there shaped her future — Donovan said after college she wants to move to D.C., to be the next David Sedaris and live in “her city.” “Even if now I’m a little bit scared in going to D.C., but I’ll be fine once I’m there,” she said. A winner of the Clyde Lowery award for contributions to the Arizona Daily Wildcat, Donovan is thankful for the experiences and excited about the future. “I have known to do all the things that I wanted to do since I was young, but (the Wildcat) was my canvas to write whatever I wanted. I don’t think I could have done this at any other university or college paper.” Donovan will graduate with a bachelor of arts in non-fiction creative writing this month.

quickly,” Madden said. “Even as a sports reporter, he’s learned a lot just by being in the newsroom as often as he is, so he’s been able to see how the different desks work.” Madden also voiced his support for Darland, who faces the task of running the daily paper in the fall, as opposed to the weekly edition published in the summer. “The great thing about being editor in chief of the Wildcat is that being a business-minded people person is just as, if not more, important than being a journalism major,” Madden said. “(Darland) has an interest and a willingness to learn everything about what journalism encompasses, which I think speaks volumes to him as an editor.”

formal wear for her fashion line, but she also included tank tops and shorts and “clothes that everyone can wear out.” Though she did not make a new line for the event, Shiratori said she made a lot of new clothing. “It was for a good cause, and I was motivated to make more stuff for the show,” Shiratori said.“It doesn’t hurt to have more made for the show.”

Wallace hopes that Diamonds in the Sky will become an annual event. “I am ecstatic with how it turned out, especially for a first year event,”Wallace said. “Obviously, it could have been better, but for a first year event, it was very successful, and I’m excited about the turnout. I was very happy about the feedback I got from the Diamond Center as well.”

SOFTBALL REVIEW

Pitching, chemistry fuels 2010 season By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat

Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona freshman second baseman Robert Refsnyder hangs his head after striking out against ASU during a 13-1 loss in Tempe on Tuesday night. The Wildcats have now dropped five of their last seven games since they defeated then-No. 1 ASU on April 20.

Sun Devils get revenge; Rodgers two-hits Wildcats By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat The last time the Arizona baseball team marched into Tempe, everything was going right for the Wildcats. They were fresh off of a sweep of Washington State and not even a freak pre-game injury to their starting pitcher would stop them from outplaying the then-No. 1 Sun Devils to a 4-2 victory. But almost a month and a half has gone by, and after dropping four of their last six games, the No. 22 Wildcats (29-14, 9-9 Pacific 10 Conference) were thoroughly embarrassed by the Sun Devils, 13-1, in Tempe Tuesday night. “They played well, we played poorly,” head coach Andy Lopez said after the game. “It’s a bad combination for a good baseball

game to happen.” Arizona was forced to burn through six different pitchers in the bloodbath while No. 2 ASU (395, 14-4) only needed starter Brady Rodgers and one Sun Devil reliever to three-hit the Wildcats and hand them their fifth loss in the last seven games. “A rough couple of innings. Obviously we played pretty poorly,” Lopez said. “Nine walks and a couple of errors and a couple of mental mistakes that kind of complicated things. They took tremendous advantage of it.” In his first career start, Arizona freshman pitcher and usual closer Nick Cunningham made it through 3 1/3 innings unscathed, but when he was lifted from the game with two runners on in the fourth inning, ASU blew things open.

After relieving Cunningham, freshman Vince Littleman was blasted for four runs in the inning, but the onslaught didn’t stop there. The Wildcats were able to keep ASU off of the scoreboard in the fifth, but the Sun Devils tore apart three different Arizona pitchers on their way to seven sixth-inning runs. While ASU thoroughly exposed Arizona’s weak bullpen, Rodgers blanked the Wildcats through eight innings, allowing only two hits while striking out seven. “He was outstanding tonight,” Lopez said of Rodgers. “He has a bright future. He does a good job, throws a lot of strikes, a lot of presence and shows a lot of command.” But if Rodgers was storyline No. 1, the Arizona pen was a unanimous No. 2.

Arizona has struggled with its bullpen all season long, and in a mid-week game like this, in which at least three or four relievers are usually used, it doesn’t come as a surprise that the Wildcats’ midinning arms were blasted by one of the nation’s top offenses. “We threw a lot of young guys out there,” Lopez said.“I think everyone but one was a freshman, and they looked like it, and they pitched like it, and you can’t do that. You can’t do that against anybody, especially against a good team, and they are a good team.” — Rodney Haas contributed reporting.

What the future brings

There is no doubt that the Wildcats need an answer in the bullpen, but what is also alarming BASEBALL , page A11

Talent goes a long way. So does having a selfless team. When the Arizona softball team entered the 2010 season, the Wildcats knew they would be infusing some raw talent into the roster. However, they didn’t quite know how that talent would develop, nor how well the veterans would mesh with the new players. With six games remaining in the regular season — three at No. 19 Oregon and three at home versus No. 6 UCLA — the No. 4 Wildcats (40-8, 10-5 Pacific 10 Conference) have developed into a dangerous unit, never sliding past the No. 3 ranking in the weekly ESPN.com softball poll until this week. “This is the team I’ve gotten along with most in my four years,” said senior K’Lee Arredondo.“It’s like one big family. I think that just makes us closer and makes us a better team. “It’s really exciting to see how far that takes us this year.” The Wildcats have had admirable and somewhat successful appearances against top-ranked teams, both inside and outside the conference. Splitting with a talented Missouri team and winning series against ranked teams like ASU, California and Stanford have given head coach Mike Candrea’s team reason to believe the postseason could have similar results. Their success leans greatly on team chemistry. After being swept by No. 1 Washington near the beginning of the Pac-10 schedule, Candrea made his team iron out their differences in a sitdown talk in the outfield of Hillenbrand Stadium. In the fall semester, he held a session with a sports psychologist. His tactics have appeared to work, and it’s shown on the diamond. “We’re hitting strides at the right time,”said freshman ace Kenzie Fowler. “We’ve won three series in a row so that’s real huge. We’re definitely kind of getting there. We’re not there yet, but we’re making strides in getting there.” Now, Arizona has the opportunity to SOFTBALL , page A11

M-tennis NCAA Arizona’s graduation rates tourney schedule still at bottom of Pac-10 released By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat

Minnesota awaits UA in first round By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat On the rebound from its tumultuous showing at the Pacific 10 tournament, the No. 30 Arizona men’s tennis team is gearing up for their first-round match of the NCAA Championships against the No. 35 University of Minnesota Golden Gophers on May 14 in Austin, Texas. In their last meeting in September, the Wildcats (13-10, 2-4 Pacific 10 tournament) fell hard to the Gophers (13-10, 6-4 Big Ten Conference) with Arizona’s Ravid Hazi picking up the only win of the day for the Wildcats. “Our guys are stronger and fitter than they were in September,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz. “I think if we can play well and put some things together that day then I like our chances. Minnesota’s a very good team, they’re definitely one of the top teams in the Big Ten, we did see some of their guys in the fall so we know what to expected and we know its going to be a really tough match.” After singles and doubles dynamos Andres Carrasco and Andres Arango picked up All-Conference honors over the weekend, the Wildcats will look to them to lead the team to victory in the most coveted tournament of the season.

Along with Los Dos Andres, Arizona as a whole had some solid team wins that proved that they belong in contention with the nation’s elite teams. “We know what level we can play at, and we know that we belong in the tournament,” Berkowitz said. “Our ultimate goal is to try to advance and do as best we can.” Minnesota boasts a pair of singles players ranked in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Top 125, the No. 64 Sebastian Gallego and the No. 106 Tobias Wernet, that will be focused on breaking Arizona’s confidence. If the Wildcats can get past the Gophers in the first round, they will take on the No. 3 Texas Longhorns and the University of Texas, San Antonio, Roadrunners, two match ups that are expected to be even more difficult for the Wildcats than their bout against the Gophers. “Seeing our name called (in the tournament draw) gave the guys a little spark of energy and refocused them,” Berkowitz said. “So we’re excited and we’re looking forward to a good couple of practices in the coming weeks. The guys are excited about it and it’s definitely their goal to rise above. We know we will do our best and this is what we’ve worked for all year.”

The University of Arizona has been at the bottom of the Pacific 10 Conference’s Student Athlete Graduation Success Rate since 2005. Why? “Let’s be honest, there are some places that are just eligibility factories,” said Brent Blanton, associate director of University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill’s Academic Support Program for student-athletes. “That’s all they’re concerned about — are you eligible to play?” In 2009, Arizona continued on its trend of being at the bottom compared the other institutions in the conference. In the Report National Averages, released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Arizona was listed dead last with a 61 percent GSR. The last place sitting isn’t by a small margin. Arizona is 11 percentage points behind ninth place ASU and 18 percentage points behind the Division I average. The UA is facing a pivotal question: When does graduation become more important than eligibility? In the past five years, Arizona’s average GSR for the men’s basketball program has fallen from 42 percent in 2005 to just 11 percent in the most recent 2009 data. The men’s baseball team has also taken a dive from 62 percent in 2006 to nearly half that at 32 percent in 2009. Although the Arizona football program has consistently hovered around 41 percent in the past five years, Arizona is still in the bottom tier when compared around the Pac-10 conference.

And the comparisons get worse when Arizona is compared nationally to the rest of the Division I. According to the 2009-10 College Football Bowl Study, released on December 22, 2009, by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida, the Arizona football team was second to last among 68 Division I teams in terms of overall student athlete graduation rate. The study is conducted with data from the 2007-08 school years, as well as the previous four years. Arizona offers academic support programs outside of the athletic program, but there are no additional requirements other than the NCAA standards. Students might go the extra mile on the field or court, but they are not required to do so in the classroom. Greg Byrne, Arizona’s current athletic

director, said he planned to implement changes in the athletic department, like making Arizona’s APR the standard for comparison, that he had seen improve success rates at Mississippi State University, where he served as athletic director for two years. “It’s critical,” Byrne said. “The first thing I said we have to keep in mind is graduating our student athletes, and, if we don’t’ have that at the forefront, we’re doing a disservice to the young men and the young women’s families who trust this athletic department and this university to allow them to come here.” Byrne, who has not yet been hired by the Arizona Board of Regents, but officially took over the reins at the helm of Arizona Athletics from interim athletic GRADUATION, page A8

Club baseball hopes third time’s the charm By Jaime Valenzuela Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona club baseball team won the Southern Pacific East Conference championship for the third straight year over the weekend by sweeping ASU in Tempe in a three-game series. The team will play University of California, Santa Barbara, on Friday at 4:00 p.m. with the team’s ace Brandon Thielk taking the mound in the first round of the Southern Pacific regional tournament. “We’re pretty excited,” said club president and pitcher Chris Tonner of advancing to the regional tournament. “All year we knew (the season) was going to come down to (ASU).” Going into the ASU series, Arizona needed two wins in order to win the conference. Catcher Rittner Hufford was confident that if the team played to its ability“with some intensity”, then it would get the two games it needed. Instead, Arizona got three. In the first game, the team scored seven runs in the second inning after leaving three runners stranded in the first. Thielk pitched the whole game to get an 11-4 win. “We came out swinging,”Tonner said. “We wanted to get ahead of them because we knew we had the pitching.” After Game 1, the team’s confidence

GRADUATION continued from page A7

was high, and it showed in the first inning of the second game as Arizona jumped to a quick 3-0 lead off a triple by designated hitter Brock Scigliano. Arizona would tally three more runs and snare a 6-0 victory and ultimately went on to secure a 12-5 win in Game 3. Arizona has advanced to nationals the past two years by winning the SP regional tournament. This year, it will be playing as the No. 3 seed, a seeding that Tonner described as a“slap to the face.” “We should be the No. 1 seed,” said Tonner of his team, which is currently ranked No. 2 nationally in the latest National Club Baseball Association top-20 poll. “A lot of (players) aren’t happy right now.” Tonner cited Arizona’s No. 3 seed as a failure by the NCBA to judge conferences based on records and not competition. “(The NCBA is) saying all conferences are equal when they’re really not,”he said. “We have the best conference, and they need to change (the way they seed).” Regardless of seeding, the team and outfielder Ryan Soderquist are confident that it will advance and compete for a national championship. “We’re a lot younger team this year, but I think we’ve got more talent,” Soderquist said. “We know we have a team that can win it all,” Tonner added. “We come to play in big games.”

Byrne faces challenge of raising student-athlete grad rates

director Kathleen “Rocky” LaRose on May 3, has a special emphasis on raising student athlete graduation rates, something in which NCAA rates have show Arizona has fallen behind. “(Byrne) has done a great job both on the athletic side and on the academic side,” said Arizona President Robert Shelton. “He is someone that I think fits in with the model of a student athlete, the way indeed that all of our coaches and our athletic staff celebrate both the academic and athletic side of what it means to be a student athlete here at the University of Arizona.” Byrne will have to use a new approach to turn the athletic program’s academic success around and avoid the trend of being just an“eligibility factory.”

Mike Meade, director of Commitment to an Athlete’s Total Success Academic Services for Student Athletes at Arizona, said that by evaluating the most recent data, he is able to reflect immediate changes in the structure of athletic support programs available to student athletes. “APR is the new measurement that is utilized to give a real-time assessment on what sport programs are doing now,” Meade said. Meade also said that the 2009 Federal Graduation Rate (Fed. Rate) and the 2009 GSR were based on data from student athletes that began at Arizona between the years of 1999 and 2002. “What was in effect here at that point and time is dramatically different from the support model that we have

in place at this point,” Meade said. “You could basically argue that there is a 10- or 11-year lag between what is considered our current graduation rate versus what group of people that actually references.” Meade said that Arizona has had a program in place for three years that has dramatically changed the way the C.A.T.S. program offers academic support, but time will be the judge. Those numbers won’t be reflected until the NCAA data for the 2014 school years are released. For now Byrne and his new staff will have to change the culture surrounding Arizona graduation rates one year at a time. “We’re going to tell people what the

vision is, where we’re going with it and what their role is to making that happen,” Byrne said.“We’re going to make sure we spend lots of time on teaching them life skills and the development of them both on the fields and courts and pools and everywhere and off the field as well.”

Definitions: • Federal Graduate Rate: Six-year proportion calculated by the government of those student-athletes (on athletically-related aid during their first year of enrollment) who graduated as compared to all students who entered the institution. This is a freshman-cohort as it only includes first-time students who enter an institution in the fall semester so the data is somewhat incomplete.

•Graduation Success Rate (GSR): New graduation rate that is primarily based on the rate defined above, but the GSR accounts for student-athletes who are mid-year admits and who transfer into the institution. The GSR also discounts student-athletes who separate from the institution and would have been academically eligible to compete had they returned •Academic Progress Rate (APR): measure the success or failure of collegiate athletic teams in moving student athletes towards graduation based on data from one year prior through up to four years in the past. — Definitions adapted from giantmultimedia.com/graham/ academics/graduation.html

Arizona hopes to host postseason

play itself into hosting NCAA Regional or Super Regional play at Hillenbrand. “We want to be here,” Fowler said. “We don’t want to look too far ahead, but we do want to host.” And it’s hard not to look too far down the road, especially with Candrea’s positive outlook at this point. He says the team has more pieces of the puzzle together than not. “I think we’re about as ready as we can be right now,” said outfielder Brittany Lastrapes.

a rundown of season awards through this point in the season, as chosen by the Daily Wildcat softball beat writers:

Del Ponte is now hitting .359 and to this point leads Division I with 1.41 RBIs per game. She has 65 total RBIs on the year.

MVP: Kenzie Fowler

X-Factor: K’Lee Arredondo

With six games remaining, the freshman has thrown for a 29-5 record and a 1.24 ERA. Opponents have only hit .147 off her pitches and Fowler has even given the Wildcats an offensive punch in spot at-bats, hitting .381 — that could come in handy during the postseason.

The senior leader made it a point that chemistry was the biggest fix coming into the season. Often referred to the Wildcats’ leader by her teammates, Arredondo is currently hitting .369 and is a close third on the team in hits.

End of the season awards

Newcomer of the Year: Brigette Del Ponte

With their much-improved chemistry,the team has put together several newcomers who’ve made immediate impacts. Here’s

Wildcats’ lack of production lowers team’s conference reputation

is that the Wildcats could only muster up three hits Tuesday night in Tempe. At one point in the season it seemed that no one could keep the Wildcats off the base path. They scored double-digit runs seemingly every game and led the Pac-10 in almost every offensive category. When they were riding high, the Wildcats

were mentioned in the same breath as the ASUs and UCLAs, but with so many youngsters on the squad, there was fear that the “rookie wall” was on the horizon. In the last seven games since defeating ASU on April 20 the Wildcats have averaged a subpar 3.7 runs per game. Could it be the rookie wall coming to fruition?

The good thing for the Wildcats is that four of those games came against top-5 teams in the nation, and today’s was of the mid-week variety, with the usual closer throwing the first pitch. But in between the series loss to UCLA and Tuesday’s thrashing atASU was an ugly series loss to Pac-10 bottom-feeder USC. A sweep of the Trojans seemed imminent, but instead the

Wildcats had to claw from a 6-0 deficit to come away with only one win. The collegiate baseball world will have a better idea of where this team stands when it hosts the Sun Devils for a three-game series on May 15-18, but as of now, it’s not quite as easy to label the Wildcats as one of the Pac-10’s top teams.
