Professor salaries below average Compensation below market level in 11 out of 14 UA colleges

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Many UA faculty members have lower salaries than those at peer institutions — a fact that may not readily change due to budget constraints.

The average UA professor’s salary was $118,000 in 2009, which was 9 percent below the market average of $129,000, according to data from the UA Office of Institutional Research and Planning Support. UA salaries were compared to those at similar public research universities, such as the University of California, Los Angeles, and Stephanie Thayer/Arizona Daily Wildcat

More students seek public sector work

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

College graduates are increasingly looking for degree paths to prepare them for public sector work, but the end of federal stimulus funds is putting those positions in jeopardy.

The number of college graduates working for the federal government increased 16 percent from 2008 to 2009, according to an analysis of the American Community Survey from the U.S. Census Bureau. Employment in nonprofit organizations also increased by 11 percent during the same time period.

Brint Milward, director of the School of Government and Public Policy, said the number of students interested in majors that prepare them for positions in the public sector has risen since the school’s split from the Eller College of Management in April 2009.

Milward said that the number of public administration undergraduates has increased by more than 200 in the last two years, from 305 to more than 500 today, and the number of political science majors has also increased from 900 to 1,200. The number of graduate students working toward a master’s in public administration almost doubled over the same time period, from close to 50 two years ago to 96 today.

“There’s no doubt that more people are asking for the major,” Milward said. “Whether there are more opportunities, I don’t know.”

since he arrived 22 years ago.

A lack of funding has nearly frozen faculty salaries, according to Miller. The university continues to face budget shortfalls with a proposed $78 million cut from the state for next year.

“We have had intensifying problems with what we call salary compression,” he said. “The ceiling is rising sometimes. The lack of regular salary raises encourages people to look for jobs elsewhere under the assumption they may be able to get a counter-offer.”

Shelton: Shortfall means cuts

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UA President Robert Shelton explained during the Faculty Senate meeting on Monday that cutting operating expenses and taking funds from university reserves would be the main options to survive budget cuts.

Shelton said that he and his colleagues have been actively planning for the 2012 fiscal year since the state was looking to reduce investment in higher education. He explained that for the past couple of years, the university has limited hiring, lost more than 600 staff members, appointed more outside personnel and looked at ways to reduce overhead while increasing consolidations and efficiency.

“As we reduce our expenditures, we’re eliminating people,” he said.

Shelton explained that in order to survive the proposed $78 million budget cut from the state Legislature, $39 million must be permanently cut from the university’s operating budget, which he said meant eliminating university employees.

In addition, Shelton said that

$17 million out of the $28 million in reserves would be used to close the remainder of the budget gap.

“This still doesn’t solve the problem,” he said, because “cer-

Provost Meredith Hay said that

all colleges and units within the university would be affected by budget cuts.

Love hurts

It’s true what they say, love hurts. But does it burn?

According to a study done at the University of Michigan, researchers have found the brain networks that are fired when you suddenly get burned are the same brain networks that are activated when you think of someone who has dumped you.

“These findings are interesting because the emotional pain of social rejection was represented in an area of the brain that detects the physical sensation,” said David Sbarra, an assistant profes-

Eleven of the 14 UA colleges, excluding the College of Medicine, paid professors below the market averages. Salaries at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Optical Sciences and Mel and Enid Zuckerman Arizona College of Public Health were above those at peer institutions.

Low compensation negatively affects faculty attraction and retention, according to Thomas Miller, associate provost for Faculty Affairs. He said the issue has been present at the UA

The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and conducted by having individuals who had recently been dumped by a significant other in the last six months undergo two MRI scans.

In the first scan, participants were asked to hold a cup of hot coffee in their hands with no sleeve on the container. In the second scan, participants were asked to look at photos of an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend and recall memories of them. Both

tests measured blood flow and showed similar brain activity occurring in the same areas.

“I guess this puts a whole new perspective on getting burned,” said Robert Pitroff , a freshman anthropology major. Though Pitroff has never been dumped himself, he understands that breakups can be hurtful. “I never thought physical and emotional pain could be considered one in the same.”

This type of finding doesn’t surprise Philip Gibeau, a counselor for the Counseling and Psychological Services

SALARIES continued from page 1 common in Arizona universities.

Fourteen out of 15 peer institutions pay higher faculty salaries than the UA, according to an Arizona Board of Regents personnel report.

Thirteen of 15 peer universities pay faculty higher salaries than ASU, and all 15 peer institutions pay higher salaries than NAU. “If you’re not being competitive, you’ll start to recognize it’s not the same level of quality of people coming in,” said Regent Rick Myers.

“It’s one of those things that creeps up on you over time.”

Arizona’s troubled economy is a main contributor to the problem,

JOBS continued from page 1 companies tend to try and reach out to students via career fairs.

“We have a couple of government types that come (to career fairs), but it in no way compares to the private groups,” he said.

Ruggirello does not know yet if this trend continued this year. The annual career services survey to determine where students received employment will occur two weeks before graduation for students and about a month or two after graduation for employers.

He said that the job market has tightened in both the public and private sectors during the last couple of years, a factor Milward also addressed.

“The numbers sound right,” he said in reference to the survey. “But it is important to note that, that is looking backward, not forward.”

Out of the top five employers in Southern Arizona, four either are public sector companies or private companies that derive revenue from public funds. Raytheon is Southern Arizona’s largest em-

according to Myers.

“We may have some attitude problems, but we have some real economic problems,” Myers said.

“We don’t have enough money to do the things we need to.”

Universities are consumed with handling budget shortfalls, Myers said. He said he hopes the Legislature will eventually reinstate funding so compensation can improve.

“None of us are happy with the situations we’re in,” he said. “We have to figure out a way to reward the people who are our best faculty.”

Professors may leave the university if they find they can make more money somewhere else.

Forty tenured and tenure-track faculty left the UA last year, according to Miller. He said low salaries will ployer, followed by three public sector companies: the University of Arizona, the state of Arizona and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

The college class of 2011 is going into a job market with a starting salary higher than its recent predecessors, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit that connects career service departments to employers,.

“The Southern Arizona economy is dominated by the public sector,” Milward said. “Would I rather work for the parks departments or work at Dillard’s? I don’t know. I’ve worked in universities and government and I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I think it depends on that individual.”

Milward said federal stimulus funds, which allowed local governments to retain workers in the last two years, will soon end and that will affect whether or not those same public sector opportunities will still be available.

“It’s really striking to see how the public sector employs Arizonans,” he said, “but demand in the market going forward, that’s a little hard to predict.”

have an increasingly negative effect on the UA as the economy improves around the nation.

“A lot of other institutions will be hiring, and you can expect that faculty will look for jobs elsewhere,” Miller said. “There aren’t a lot of jobs out there at many institutions right now, so we’re not losing the number of faculty we’re going to lose.”

College deans targeted faculty at risk of leaving and raised their salaries last fall, according to Miller. He said the raises people receive after looking for jobs elsewhere can be problematic.

“Other people equally successful in their departments don’t get raises,” Miller said. “You get a doublewhammy, a double-impact on the morale of faculty. They see the only

Hay added that the university must “rethink” the environment that it is living in, and that it should focus on increasing endowments.

Shelton also addressed financial aid, saying that the UA will pledge

Gibeau, known better by students as “Dr. Phil,” sees a number of patients around this time of year who are experiencing emotional distress due to breakups.

“At this time of year, we are seeing an awful lot of people breaking up with each other,” Gibeau said. “Some face to face, some via Facebook, some texting. It’s all about how

way to get a raise is to go out and apply for a job elsewhere.”

Linda Powers, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering, came to the UA in 2007 as the Thomas R. Brown Chair in Bioengineering.

Professor salaries at the College of Engineering were 12 percent below those at peer institutions in 2009.

“Yes, I was aware the salary was low,” Powers said. “It wasn’t all that different from where I was before, which was in Utah. It had a number of other perks because of the endowed chair.”

Powers said she benefits from the extra research money provided by her endowed chair, but other faculty in the College of Engineering leave due to low salaries.

“We lose them,” Powers said.

“Other universities hire them away from us, especially our younger ones.”

Salary is only one factor among many that faculty consider when leaving the university, said Faculty Senate Chairwoman Wanda Howell.

“Faculty generally move from one university to another because they see greater opportunity to do the work they do with collaboration and resources,” she said.

The university environment and culture are important, but salary is a large consideration for professors accepting and keeping positions, Powers said.

He explained that $160 million of awarded financial aid was the UA’s “own money” from grants, gifts and tuition, not federal dollars. The two “large pots” of money left are employee salaries and financial aid, he said, and reducing either would not be a “good choice.”

Shelton added that fiscal year

2013 “should be a relatively stable year for the state of Arizona” with income coming from places like Proposition 100, a temporary Arizona sales-tax increase that was approved by voters last May. However, he did say that there would be another tuition increase for fiscal year 2013.

“Sorry, but we’re going to keep it as low as we can,” he said.

Shelton reiterated that financial planning for next year is a “balancing act.”

comfortable they feel with the breakup process.”

The first way to address a person’s emotional state after a breakup is to identify the cause of the split, taking into consideration the person’s needs or feelings and construct a tentative solution to stabilize the problem, according to Gibeau.

Betheny King, a psychology senior, has been both a dumper and a dumpee.

“Like touching a hot stove, you know not to touch it anymore cause that hurts,” King

said. “The same kind of thing happens when you get dumped.

You see that person’s face and you get that horrible feeling, so you think you shouldn’t talk to them any more.”

Because the same parts of the brain that detect physical pain also detect emotional pain, people who are experiencing emotional distress are also in physical pain, according to this study.

“To say that the emotional experience hurts is not just metaphorical anymore.”

Radioactivi-sea

FAA requires airlines to check 737s McClatchy Newspapers

Yomiuri Shumbun/MCT

A farmer in Fukushima ponders what to do with his spinach on March 26, in an area affected by radioactive substances released from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

Radioactive water from Japanese nuclear plant dumped into sea McClatchy Newspapers TOKYO — The operator of Japan’s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant began releasing about 11,500 tons of radioactive water into the sea on Monday evening to make room in storage tanks for even more severely contaminated water.

Some 10,000 tons of the water being released into the ocean was being taken from a communal storage facility near the No. 4 reactor.

Another 1,500 tons was being released from the vicinity of the No. 5 and 6 reactors — which have been less troubled than reactors Nos. 1 through 4. The amount of water being released is equivalent to more than four Olympic-size swimming pools.

Although the water being released had levels of radioactive iodine 131 more than 100 times the legal limit allowed for sea discharge, the government approved the release as an “emergency” measure so that water with 100,000 times more radiation than the water found in

a normally functioning reactor can be removed from the basement of the turbine building at reactor No. 2 and stored somewhere on the site.

Even as the government asserted that the release of the radioactive water into the sea would not pose an immediate threat to humans, health ministry official Taku Ohara said the ministry was considering drawing up radioactivity foodsafety standards for fish after high radiation levels were detected in a sand lance, a bottom-feeding fish, caught off the coast of Ibaraki prefecture.

Nuclear experts have assumed that radioactive iodine, which has a brief half-life, would become diluted in the ocean and decay too quickly to be detected in fish, but Monday’s finding has raised doubts about that, said Ohara.

According to the health ministry, the sand lance had 4,080 bequerels per kilogram of radioactive iodine.

“We think the level found poses no immediate risk to people’s health, but the point is moot anyway because all sand lance caught

in Ibaraki were disposed of,” said Ohara. By comparison, the level of radioactive iodine in the fish was twice as high as the limit for vegetables. There are no standards for radioactivity in meat, eggs, fish and grains.

After more than three weeks of cooling the disabled Fukushima reactors by spraying them with thousands of tons of water using fire trucks, concrete pumpers and helicopters, Tokyo Electric Power Co. faces a growing problem of what to do with the vast amounts of contaminated water.

Removing the water from turbine buildings and other structures is vital to allow workers to restore cooling functions to the facilities.

But with limited facilities for storing the water, the utility and the government are now considering options including putting it into a “floating island” offshore. Also being discussed is the installation of an undersea barrier, usually used to contain old spills, that might slow the radioactive water’s move offshore.

FORT WORTH, Texas — Federal authorities are requiring airlines to check more Boeing 737 airplanes for metal fatigue in the wake of Friday’s incident, in which a 5-foot hole opened in a fuselage of a Southwest Airlines jet in midair.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it will issue an emergency directive on Tuesday, requiring checks of older Boeing 737-300, 737-400 and 737-500 models that have more than 30,000 flight cycles.

The directive will initially apply to about 175 aircraft worldwide, including 80 in the U.S. The agency said most of the aircraft in the U.S. are operated by Southwest Airlines.

“This action is designed to detect cracking in a specific part of the aircraft that cannot be spotted with visual inspection,” said Randy Babbitt, FAA administrator.

Southwest said it believes it has already complied with the directive, since it grounded 79 aircraft over the weekend for

inspections following the emergency landing of Southwest Flight 812 in Yuma, Ariz.

The Dallas-based carrier added that the 737-500s mentioned in the directive do not include the 25 Boeing 737-500s in Southwest’s fleet.

As of Monday, Southwest said it had found cracks on three other aircraft following inspections of its older Boeing 737-300s.

Southwest had returned 64 inspected aircraft into service

by Monday, said Ashley Dillon, spokeswoman. The carrier had cancelled about 70 flights on Monday out of its schedule of 3,400 daily flights.

“We are hoping to have all of the inspections completed by Tuesday,” Dillon said with the carrier able to run a full schedule on Tuesday.

Three aircraft remain out of service as the carrier said there were “small, subsurface cracks,” found in those three aircraft. The three planes will be evaluated and potential repairs will be made before the aircraft is returned to service.

Tax cuts hurt poor, ignore rich Andrew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat

L

ast week it was announced that General Electric, a company that made $14.2 billion in profit last year, was able to take advantage of tax loopholes so that it paid no taxes this year. In fact, it received $3.2 billion in tax returns. So this begs the question, why is our economic recovery being done on the backs of the poor, while wealthy individuals and corporations seem to be getting all the breaks? Why are tax increases for the wealthy and closing tax loopholes not on the table?

In its budget, the Republicancontrolled House of Representatives voted to cut $61 billion of federal spending. Among the things being cut are funding for Planned Parenthood, NPR, Head Start, educational programs, health care programs for seniors and environmental regulation of greenhouse gasses.

In the end, these cuts only make a tiny dent in the overall budget deficit but have a profound impact on the people that benefit from these programs. For example, Head Start, a program started by the Johnson administration to provide early childhood education for low-income children, will see a 22.4 percent reduction in funding. According to Kathleen McCartney of CNN, this will cause 218,000 children to be dropped from the program and 55,000 workers to lose their jobs. In addition, Planned Parenthood, which would see all its federal funding eliminated, which helps to provide vital family-planning services and care for women. If these programs were to be cut, many people on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder would be hurt.

However, at the same time, Republicans are refusing to eliminate billions of dollars worth of subsidies for oil companies. It’s safe to say that oil companies would do just fine without federal money. After all, Americans will still be driving their cars.

Most importantly, Republicans are refusing to address the loopholes in the tax code that allow for a company like GE to get away with paying no corporate taxes. Conservatives love to mention that the corporate tax rate (35 percent) stifles growth, but there are very few companies, if any, that pay anywhere near the full rate. How about lowering the tax rate and eliminating loopholes?

This isn’t just about the corporate tax rate; Congress should look to eliminate loopholes for individuals as well.

Due to the progressive tax system, the wealthy pay more in taxes than the middle and lower classes, but, with loopholes, some of the wealthy pay very little taxes at all. The amount of money a person pays in taxes should not be decided by how knowledgeable they are of the tax code or how skilled their accountant is.

Leaders in the government are calling for all Americans to make sacrifices, but it seems as if they only mean the middle and lower classes. The fact is that the richest 1 percent of Americans make nearly 24 percent of all income in this country. With that figure, it’s clearly not too much to ask for the super-rich to pay a little bit more on taxes.

Of course, Republicans would never go along with that, claiming that such a plan would be class warfare. However, this couldn’t be more incorrect, as it’s simply asking them to pay their fair share.

If the Republicans get their way and programs like Planned Parenthood and Head Start are cut, it is the poor that will be hurt the most. Instead of balancing the budget on the backs of the financially insecure, Republican leaders should instead look to the wealthy first, not out of punishment, but because they would be least affected.

MAILBAG ASUA’s mistakes overshadow its merit

Daily Wildcat Editorial Board, I have read the Daily Wildcat’s tirade on the Associated Students of the University of Arizona the past few weeks in response to the elections debacle.

I understand and relate to students’ frustration with the messiness of elections this year. This was nothing that could have been predicted and there was no precedent for such an occurrence. The elections commissioner has reacted in what he considers to be the best manner possible under the circumstances.

Changes will need to be made in the future to ensure a stable elections process, and I commit to encouraging these changes to the next administration.

One such change, the implementation of Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act release forms, will be included in candidate packets if a special election occurs.

However, I respectfully disagree with some of the commentary that has

been made.

Elections are not representative of ASUA. Despite the elections, this has been a positive year for ASUA. We have made progress in many areas. We have been a voice for students on issues affecting the university. We have shown financial responsibility. We positively represented the university on the national scene. We have adjusted and improved upon past mistakes, showing commitment to correcting blunders that are inevitable when running any government institution.

Most of this has not been acknowledged. Instead, students are encouraged to blow off ASUA in response to a dramatic election year, in which for the first time in many years, we actually had a competitive and contentious election.

ASUA certainly makes mistakes, but to tell ASUA “it’s over,” and to blow off the institution that makes decisions on students’ behalf, is a disservice to the entire student body.

Right now, tuition and fees, arguably the most important issues

for students, are being discussed.

ASUA approved a tuition and fee stance to be submitted to the regents.

We were the only student government in the state to defend student voice and encourage minimizing the full tuition and fee increase Unfortunately, the Daily Wildcat chose not to cover the proposal that was discussed at last week’s meeting.

I use this example to show that there is more to us than the actions of several individuals that have been highlighted the past few weeks to the student body, and students should be reminded of that.

As president, I commit to accepting responsibility and being accountable to students, but I encourage the Wildcat’s balance of recognition and condemnation when commenting on ASUA’s actions.

Thank you always for expressing your opinions. I really do respect and appreciate the work of student media in keeping student government accountable. In writing this, I only hope to give another perspective.

ello there, people of Earth.

I feel that I need no introduction, but since I have the power of omnipotence, it’s really no galaxy off my back to mind-meld the entire secular population and properly present myself. I am called among you by many names — God, Allah, Buddha, the Cosmic Singularity and my personal favorite, the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Funny stuff, atheists. Usually I like to stay out of things and let mankind work its own problems out through free will and all, but I thought I’d pop in and direct an omnipresent and all-powerful “WTF?” your way.

What are all of you doing? I have created an idyllic location for you to inhabit, spoken with a few key members of the race to give out instructions, and even got rid of that pesky dinosaur problem. You’re all cut from the same basic “in-my-image” cloth (a handsome cloth, if you ask me), and knowing your penchant for aggression, I gave you weird furry things called animals to take your problems out on. Don’t ask me how you did it, I only put baseline inherent flaws into your souls, but you’ve really managed to muck up the entire process.

There are many misguided humans out there, but I’ll start with the Christian campus questioners first, because honest to Me, you are by far the most annoying.

What are you doing with your life?

College kids are apathetic and stubborn; do you really think that getting in their face about what they believe is going to change anything? Perhaps you should show the Christian values through community service and helping, I don’t know, (I always know) the poor and the sick? Frankly, I’m a little embarrassed that you’re trying to get people to subscribe about me in such an abrasive manner; it’s like having your blacked-out friend wingman you at a party. You’re not helping, bro, you’re hurting.

Let’s actually get a few big things out of the way now. Gays are fine, I really could care less about what you eat or don’t eat and I hate sports. Really hate sports. Please stop thanking me. I was watching AMC. Another baffling trend, for many of you followers: I gave you fun toys like marijuana, alcohol and orgasms. If you get a present for Christmas (it’s actually on March 24, close though) don’t you want to celebrate it?

I personally feel a little offended — I put millennia of brainstorming into those particular three “vices.” The first draft of alcohol was a molecule that turned you inside out and made nearby animals explode. I saved that one for my other planet — Nerfth.

I suppose in the spirit of full disclosure: I

actually have 25 other planets I’m managing right now. Don’t feel played; you’re my favorite one. Well, top 5. Easily.

Another “WTF” toward the rioters in Afghanistan: You are all acting extremely immature. So an American idiot burned the Quran to get you riled up. Well, guess what. You just played into the hands of a man rocking a moustache that would embarrass the Unibomber. There are more Qurans out there — that’s why I invented trees. Well, that and the secret reason.

You’ll find out about that in a year.

All of you are wrong anyway, except for the Scientologists. They’re pretty spot on. (Just kidding, I couldn’t help myself.)

My request should seem pretty clear.

The 5 pillars of Islam include the pillar of Zakat, which is the obligatory giving of alms for the poor. Christians, this might sound familiar, especially if you were one of the kids who loved putting a dollar in the offering bowl. My Jewish followers?

Rock that Tzedakah.

I have explicitly stated that I want all of you to help each other out, how on Nerfth did you get to the point where you’re hating on gay people and committing crimes in my various names?

All of your arbitrary nonsense and numerical rituals are full of it — I’m not an OCD-afflicted super being who needs 300 somersaults performed on March 5 to make me content. I just ask that you all keep to yourself, help out each other and really … just calm down. Don’t make me come down there again.

POLICEBEAT

He ain’t ‘signing shit’

A male UA student was booked into Pima County Jail after refusing to sign a citation for minor in possession on March 30 at 12:40 a.m.

Earlier, a UA police aide reported a man staggering down the sidewalk and almost falling into traffic numerous times on Park Avenue.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was dispatched to the area of Park Avenue and Lowell Street.

Upon arrival, the aide pointed out the man to the officer, who noticed that he was having difficulty standing on his own.

The officer then parked his patrol vehicle and approached the student.

When speaking with him, the officer noticed a very strong odor of alcohol.

The student said that he was walking from his friend’s house back to his residence hall.

The officer informed the student that he was contacted because a police aide had seen him stagger and almost fall into traffic.

“You’re talking to me because I was staggering?” the student said.

After identifying himself as being under 21 years old, the officer asked him if he had been drinking.

“That doesn’t matter,” he said.

The student became argumentative and repeatedly asked the officer why he was being stopped, to which the officer replied with the same aforementioned explanation.

The officer arrested the student and filled out a citation for him to sign; however, the student refused, saying, “I’m not signing shit.”

The officer placed him in handcuffs and transported the student to Pima County Jail.

Additionally, a code of conduct referral was forwarded to the Dean of Students Office.

One motorcycle, two attorneys, three charges

A male UA student was cited for driving a motorcycle without eye protection, registration or insurance on March 31.

An officer pulled over the motorcyclist, driving on Eighth Street, at 1:20 p.m., after observing him swerving all over his lane.

After making contact with the rider, the officer noticed that he was nervous and shaky and although the officer could not smell intoxicants on his breath, the student had red watery eyes, stumbled over his words and seemed disorientated.

The driver admitted to smoking marijuana two days prior; however, the officer determined that he was not currently impaired.

During the officer’s contact with the rider, his friend came to the traffic stop.

According to the officer, he became an annoyance and was told several times to stay away.

The friend said several times that he wanted to provide the rider with legal advice; however, he was not an attorney.

During the same traffic stop, the rider’s actual attorney showed up to aid with the citation process.

A records check on the motorcycle and the rider’s driver’s license found that the bike was not registered to the student.

He said that he just bought the bike three days prior but the ownership papers of the bike had not been transferred or notarized.

The officer then cited the student for riding without eye protection, registration or insurance.

Colleges that profit, students who don’t McClatchy Newspapers

PHILADELPHIA — To paraphrase Steely Dan, the five years at the college didn’t turn out like she planned.

In 2002, Marianne Hicks — bored with her accounts-receivable job and part-time work as a cook, and eager to reinvent herself as an industrial designer — was wooed by a recruiter for the Art Institute of Philadelphia with assurances of job help once she got a degree.

Today, Hicks says, her diploma is about the only thing that she can cling to. Often unemployed since graduating from the for-profit career college in 2007, she’s under the gun from collection agencies for more than $90,000 in student loans that she can’t repay. She’s staying with a brother because she can’t afford her own place, and a sister is mad at her because she co-signed one of the delinquent loans.

“I was just excited I was going back to school — of course they painted a pretty picture,” said the now 44-year-old Hicks, who admits she didn’t know that her loan balance would grow so high and didn’t grasp the problem that her Art Institute credits mostly can’t be transferred to other schools.

But she faults the Philadelphia college for teaching outdated skills, and she said that job-placement help amounted largely to forwarding some ads from Craigslist.

And she’s not alone: Her classmate Taryn Zychal, with similar complaints, says she owes close to

$150,000 and is working in a convenience store when not selling her artwork.

Advocates say that the remarkable thing is that horror stories like those aren’t that unusual.

Thousands of middle-income students who’ve rushed to for-profit

career colleges in recent years have been overwhelmed by aggressive recruitment, loose admission policies, overhyped academic programs, a crippled U.S. economy with few jobs — and, finally, their massive taxpayer-funded student debt, with little hope of repayment.

DURHAM ­— Crystal Mangum, the woman who was at the center of the Duke University lacrosse scandal, was charged with stabbing a man early Sunday at a South Durham apartment.

Police charged Mangum, 32, with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, according to a statement by the Durham Police Department.

Police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said officers were dispatched to a stabbing call at 3507 Century Oaks Drive at 3:15 a.m. Sunday.

When the officers arrived, they found a 46-year-old man who had been stabbed in the torso.

By late Sunday, police had not released the name of the male victim, who was described as Mangum’s boyfriend.

The stabbing apparently occurred during an argument between the couple, police reported.

The victim was taken to Duke Hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

Officers found Mangum in a nearby apartment. She was arrested and taken to the Durham

County jail. She is being held in custody without benefit of bail, authorities said.

Five years ago, Mangum accused members of the Duke lacrosse team of sexually assaulting her while she was working as a stripper for an escort service.

The accusations were eventually labeled as false and the case was dismissed by state Attorney General Roy Cooper, but not before the case garnered nationwide attention.

Charged last year

Mangum made the headlines again last year when Durham police charged her with felony arson, child abuse, vandalism and resisting a law enforcement officer.

In February 2010, police accused Mangum of slashing the vehicle tires of her boyfriend, Milton Walker, smashing the windshield with a vacuum cleaner and setting fire to a pile of his clothes in a bathtub while the police and her three children were in her apartment.

Mangum was convicted of child abuse, vandalism and resisting an officer.

The felony arson charge against Mangum was dismissed earlier this year.

Always. I did on Saturday night at Dirtbag’s.

Who is more your style Lady Gaga or Madonna?

Rihanna.

Not an option. Gaga or Madonna? If you don’t pick one then you will die the most painful death. Which one would you rather make babies with?

Neither. You are basically asking me if I’d like to screw Lady Gaga or Guy Ritchie.

So you would choose Guy Ritchie?

Yes! Are you more obsessed with Facebook or video games?

The home brew is now breakfast, lunch and dinner for Wilson, who, aside from the occasional inadvertent buzz, is managing the experiment just fine.

“From time to time, if I have an appointment, I have to move my beers around,” Wilson told the Chicago Tribune. “If I have to have two beers in quicker succession than I would like, sure, you might get a little tipsy.

But I haven’t been sloshed the last three weeks.”

Q

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. What does that have to do with alcohol?

A. Revised Statutes clearly define sexual assault as “intentionally Plenty. The answer can be found in the definition: Arizona

or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse, masturbatory behaviors, or oral sexual contact with anyone who does not consent” and further states, “Sexual assault occurs if the victim is unable to give consent to the sexual act because of drugs or alcohol or any other similar impaired state.”

What this definition means is that if someone has been drinking or using drugs, a high level of caution needs to be observed. Someone who is incapacitated cannot consent to sexual activity. Being “passed out” is clearly incapacitation and engaging in sexual activity with a person who is incapacitated is sexual assault. If someone has been sick due to alcohol or drug use, one can conclude that they are incapacitated.

This year’s awareness campaign, “It’s time... to get involved,” incorporates a bystander approach to sexual violence prevention.

A bystander, or witness, is anyone who sees a situation but may or may not know what to do, may think others will act, or may be afraid to do something.

Ways you can be a positive bystander: • Recognize when a situation looks to be dangerous for someone • Decide what you can do • Take action – don’t assume others will – even if it’s calling for help The 2011 Sexual Assault Awareness campaign focuses on everyone speaking up to prevent sexual violence in our neighborhood, community, workplace, and school.

If you’ve ever wanted to help but didn’t know what to do, schedule a Step UP! Bystander presentation for your group or department for action tips. Other April events include taking a RAD Self Defense course for women or participating in Take Back the Night with other campus organizations on April 26th at 5:30pm.

Contact Campus Health at 520-621-5700 for more information regarding these and other activities.

Let’s come together and create positive social change.

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

In less than one season, Arizona cornerback Trevin Wade transformed from an underrated overachiever to the biggest disappointment of the 2010 campaign.

The unheralded high school recruit burst onto the scene his freshman year and became the Wildcats’ top cornerback by the end of his sophomore season.

He led the team in interceptions (5) and pass break-ups (14) in 2009, while landing on the cover of the 2010 Sports Illustrated Pac10 Preview edition to boot.

But the 5-foot-11 Austin, Texas, native fell well short of the preseason hype, eventually losing his starting job to freshman Shaquille Richardson and ending last season as the Wildcats’ third or fourth most productive cornerback.

Wade quickly became a liability on the field fell from stardom to backup duty after starting 13 games the year before.

Neither Wade nor first-year secondary coach Ryan Walters could pinpoint the reasons for the cornerback’s struggles.

“I think just um, I would say just … shoot, I don’t know, I couldn’t tell you what happened,” Wade said as he searched for the right answer.

Walters, who was a graduate assistant last season, also struggled to diagnose the problem as he said, “I don’t know, it could be a number of things.”

But with one more year at Arizona ahead of him, Wade is determined to return to the form that landed him on the Jim Thorpe Award watch list — given to the nation’s top defensive back — leading up to last season.

He’s aiming re-establish himself by realizing his struggles last season and using them as motivation moving forward.

“I’m glad it happened, though, because it gets my head on

Pay for play?

NCAA money should go to athletes without them losing amateur status

COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer

There are two sides of the fence in terms of dealing with NCAA student-athletes and the money that — depending on your point of view — they do or don’t see.

Either you want to call college athletes exploited or you want to dismiss them as semiprofessional.

As much as you worry about losing the sanctity of collegiate competition if the NCAA begins increasing student-athletes’ benefits or about players not being compensated for what is undeniably a business, there remains a solid compromise.

Currently, NCAA athletes are still amateurs, and they could use a little more money. That extra cash wouldn’t make them play less hard when they hit the field.

It wouldn’t make them into professional players, either.

To give you a feel for the huge sums the NCAA brings in, $771 million a year goes into the bank from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament’s television contracts alone, according ZIMMERMAN, page 13

FOOTBALL NOTES

What we learned from spring scrimmage

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona football team took the field at Arizona Stadium this weekend for its first open scrimmage of spring practice. Here’s a look at five things that stood out during the brief Saturday-morning session:

1. The defense is way ahead of the offense

Wide receiver Austin Hill blamed the offense’s struggles on a lack of intensity, but that wasn’t the only issue. The defense played sound football, without missing tackles or making mental mistakes. The offense, on the other hand, was missing reads and assignments after what Hill called a dominant practice on Friday.

It’s normal for the defense to be ahead of the offense early on, but Arizona has veterans at every position on offense except for on the line. Because of the inexperience up front, Arizona can’t afford for its veteran skill players to not be on the same page in 2011.

2. Arizona will move the ball, red zone scoring still an issue

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Cornerback Trevin Wade, No. 24, was a surprise star in Arizona’s secondary during his freshman and sophomore seasons, but a rough junior year landed him on the bench. Wade is now working to correct his mistakes and return to his All Pacific 10 Conference form.

straight and just let myself know there’s no games,” Wade said.

For a player who finished with only one interception and three

pass break-ups last season, Wade oozed confidence in his game regardless of his 2010 downfall. He envisions regaining his starting

role and flourishing after an underwhelming junior season.

“I expect to be bigger in that role,” WADE, page 13

Wildcats host ASU

Baseball looking to bounce back from rough stretch

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After losing two of three games in Tempe one week ago, the Arizona baseball team will host rival ASU for one game today.

Though midweek games don’t count toward Pacific 10 Conference standings, the Wildcats are still looking forward to taking the field in the next chapter of the State Farm Territorial Cup Series.

“We’re real excited,” said outfielder Robert Refsnyder. “We’re going to have a team meeting (on Monday), and it’s going to be a tough one. We’re going to grind it out, and you’ll see a different team from here.”

No. 22 Arizona (20-9, 2-4 Pac10) won the Friday opener in its series against No. 5 ASU (216, 5-1), but fell in the next two games thanks to late-inning struggles and a lack of consistent scoring.

“That’s baseball. It’s weird,” Refsnyder said. “Baseball’s a funny game. We’ll put up big numbers then sort of struggle.”

Head coach Andy Lopez said that he didn’t know who was going to get the start today, but Arizona has gone with young arms from the bullpen in the season’s earlier midweek series.

After dropping two of three to Oregon State during the weekend, Lopez said that fixing the offensive inconsistency is important.

“We kind of disappeared a little bit, so we’ll work on that,” Lopez said. “We’ll get back on track, hopefully on Tuesday.”

Heyer named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week

After throwing the first complete-game shutout of his career on Friday, Arizona pitcher Kurt Heyer has been named Pacific 10 Conference Pitcher of the Week for the first time this season.

Arizona’s lack of a powerrun game was evident again on Saturday. The offense racked up nearly 400 yards from scrimmage but managed only one score on 15 drives — thanks in large part to the offense’s inability to run the ball once it got inside the 20. The line was able to open holes for Arizona’s draw sets, but struggled in power run-blocking situations.

Fullback Taimi Tutogi is as physical as any runner in the conference, but he won’t go anywhere unless the line can move the line of scrimmage, or at least hold its ground. If the line can start generating a push, the Arizona offense could be deadly in the red zone with two big-bodied receivers in Dan Buckner and Juron Criner.

3. Trevin Wade won’t have a repeat of 2010

Wade was arguably the best player on the best unit on Saturday, recording two interceptions to go along with a pass broken up. After having an admittedly poor season in 2010, Wade was playing with confidence and again looked like the cornerback that earned second team All Pac-10 honors as a sophomore in 2009.

4. Arizona’s secondary is for real

Annie Marum/Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona baseball team will try to correct its recent Pacific 10 Conference struggles when it hosts ASU tonight at Frank Sancet Stadium. Despite losing this weekend’s series, pitcher Kurt Heyer, above, was named Pac-10 Pitcher of the Week.

Heyer’s shutout was the first thrown against Oregon State since 2008, a span of 139 games.

The sophomore allowed only five hits and walked two batters while striking out nine Beavers.

The right-hander became the fifth pitcher in the conference to reach the five-win mark, and has won four straight weekend starts since getting a no-decision in a 6-5 win against Utah Valley.

Heyer has held opposing hitters to a .219 batting average in 2011 to go along with a 0.98 WHIP and 11

strikeouts per nine innings.

This is Heyer’s third career Pitcher of the Week honor after earning the award twice during his freshman season en route to being named to the All Pac-10 Team.

IF YOU GO What: Arizona vs. ASU Where: Frank Sancet Field When: Today, 6 p.m.

Even though it will be playing without junior safety Adam Hall for the foreseeable future, the Arizona secondary will be one of the best in the Pac-12. It racked up five interceptions on Saturday, and sophomore corner Jonathan McKnight held his own against Buckner. Shaq Richardson was held out of the scrimmage because of a banged-up shoulder, but he and Wade will form one of the best cornerback duos in recent memory for the Wildcats.

Add in third-year starter Rob Golden making the move back to safety from cornerback, and the defensive backfield has plenty of experience to go along with Marquis Flowers, McKnight and Richardson — who are all expected to contribute as true sophomores.

5. The lines are key in 2011

This is something we knew coming into spring, but it was painfully clear on Saturday.

Men’s tennis struggling

The men’s tennis team is battling a six-match losing streak, also falling in eight of its last 11 matches. But, at least in the eyes of these Wildcats, wins and losses simply do not tell the whole story.

“Our results don’t really show the potential that this team has,” said senior Andres Carrasco.

During the recent skid, the Wildcats have fallen to Oklahoma, Indiana, Washington, Oregon, California and Stanford. At the time of the losses, Oklahoma was ranked 29th, Washington 20th, Stanford 12th and Cal sixth. The truth about Arizona’s talent lies in the numbers.

Against a supremely talented California team on Friday, the Wildcats brought nearly every singles and doubles match down to the wire. Carrasco, ranked individually at No. 111 in the country, upset the Golden Bears’ No. 65-ranked Carlos Cueto in singles.

In addition, Carrasco teamed with Kieran Thompson to garner the Wildcats’ lone doubles win.

Senior Jay Goldman, playing in the No. 1 spot in singles, had the daunting task of facing the No. 17 ranked Pedro Zerbini, yet managed to keep the match close when he lost 6-2 and 6-3.

Freshmen Giacomo Miccini and Andre Vidaller both defeated their opponents in their singles matches as well.

This game against Cal exemplifies what has been going on with the team almost the entire season.

The Wildcats have faced an ex-

tremely tough schedule, yet gamein and game-out they continue to give their opponents everything they have. During the course of this three-match losing streak, Arizona has only lost each match by an average of 2.5 points. Take away the 6-1 loss to Washington and that number drops to just a two-point difference.

“We’re hanging tough with some of the best teams in the country,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz.

“It’s going to take a little bit more, and we can get over the hump.”

Against Stanford on Sunday, the Wildcats lost with a score of 5-2, but looking deeper into the individual matchups reveals that the match was actually a lot closer and hard fought than that

score might indicate.

Andre Vidaller and Jason Zafiros garnered the team’s lone doubles victory, winning 8-5 over Stanford’s No. 67 ranked duo of Alex Clayton and Ted Kelly. They were not able to defeat that duo in the singles portion, but every single match was kept remarkably close. Seniors Carrasco, Goldman and Geoff Embry all participated in what would be the final home match of their careers. Goldman lost to the No. 11 Bradley Klahn 6-2, 6-2.

Embry pulled out the final home victory of his career, defeating Jamin Ball 6-3, 5-7, 7-5. Carrasco, who was matched up with Stanford’s No. 32-ranked Ryan Thatcher, started off impressively winning the first set 6-3. Unfortunately, he

Arizona’s defensive line was putting pressure on quarterback Nick Foles and plugging the run in the red zone against an offensive line with one combined start — which comes from redshirt junior-to-be Kyle Quinn in last year’s Valero Alamo Bowl.

Wade said confidently. “I’m going to take over and take half the field out of the equation, so I’m going to be ready for this season.”

Walters praised Wade’s work ethic so far this spring, which was, at times, in question last season. He finished Saturday’s scrimmage with two interceptions and a pass break-up, while impressing his new secondary coach.

“He’s out here busting his tail, and I think he’s back to the Trevin Wade of old. So, I’m looking forward to seeing him improve this spring and move on to the fall,” Walters said. “He

couldn’t keep that momentum going forward when he fell 6-3 in the second set and 6-1 in the third.

“Before we started the season I really, really thought, and still think, that this is the best team I have (been on) in my four years here,” Carrasco said.

“Unfortunately, we’re at a position right now (ranked No. 56) in the country where we don’t want to be.

“Our goal was clearly to make it to the NCAAs and then make a good run out of it. We still can, it’s still possible. We’re going on the road to play USC and UCLA next week. That’s the good thing about being in the Pac-10 — you have a lot of chances.”

understands what he has to do to get better, and he’s doing it.

So, that’s very encouraging.”

It’s easier said than done, but Wade is on the right track. He’s added 12 pounds of muscle in the offseason and is aiming to become more of a physical threat, rather than just a prototypical cover corner.

“I feel more comfortable coming down and being more physical out here,” he said. “I’ve been showing it the last five practices and, hopefully, it continues.”

The inner demons of last year’s struggles are behind the bigger, more industrious Wade and he may finally live up to the pre-season hype that surrounded him over a year ago.

to USA Today’s Steve Wieberg.

What are they doing with all that money?

Wieberg wrote last week that NCAA President Mark Emmert is considering bumping up the value of athletic scholarships.

That will surely help solve the problem of kids just taking “extra benefits” in the form of a few bucks for living expenses.

It’s not like the NCAA is hurting financially and can’t afford to make a change either.

At the same time, critics argue that puts the athlete before the student in the oft-used term “student-athlete.”

But semantics shouldn’t ignore reality.

USA Today found that a men’s basketball scholarship could be worth as much as $120,000, but that doesn’t come in the form of covering living expenses, instead mostly taking care of tuition, coaching and the like. The median for actual athletic scholarships at the 120 schools in Football Bowl Subdivision was $27,923.

Many players, especially in high-revenue sports like football and basketball, come from backgrounds of financial difficulty. So when a strict scholarship covers just their schooling, they don’t have ample cash to feed or clothe themselves.

North Carolina head coach Roy Williams told Wieberg: “Those kids are saying, ‘Look at all this money we’re bringing in.

And I have to beg, borrow and steal to get an extra meal?’“ In the end, players should at least be covered by the NCAA for their academic endeavors and, of course, enough spending cash to live comfortably.

When Arizona forward Derrick Williams hit the go-ahead free throw to send the Wildcats to the Sweet 16, it gave Arizona and the Pacific 10 Conference $1.4 million in incentives. Because of the NCAA revenue-sharing agreement, that’s the same amount of money the conference will earn for each game UA plays in the tournament for the ensuing six seasons, according to Wieberg.

So at the very least, that foul shot’s revenue should find its way, equally of course, to Williams and every other athlete at Arizona.

It’s only fair.
