GPSC reveals election results ABOR By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After a week of elections, new members of the UA Graduate and Professional Student Council have been announced. Representative and administrative members of the council were announced at the GPSC office in the Student Union Memorial Center on Monday after a week of elections that saw 545 eligible voters participate. This is a decrease from the 609 voters who participated last year, but represents an increase from the 448 ballots cast in 2008. “I’m really glad this election actually was contested,”said current GPSC President David LopezNegrete . “That hasn’t happened for the past couple of years and is a welcome development. But
I hope that graduate students continue to turn out in larger numbers, because we’re facing some very important issues right now and we have some vacancies, which hopefully the next council will fill with special elections in the summer or fall.” Emily Connally, a graduate student in the College of Psychology, won a close presidential race over incumbent council member Mabel Crescioni 232 votes to 191. Connally sat on the council last year and was also a member of the UA Faculty Senate. “I feel excellent, really excited (that the) constituency voted for (the) best candidate,” Connally said . “I think they really want new ideas, and they’re tired of hearing Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat the old things they want change.” The winner of the at-large seat for Graduate and Professional Student Council, David Dunbar, left, a doctoral candidate of music arts, shakes hands with David Lopez-Negrete, president of GPSC and a third-year law student Monday in the GPSC offices in the Student Union Memorial Center.

Do you really want a killer tan? By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Skin cancer became a reality for Janet Cooley — at age 25. Cooley had been ignoring a mole on her leg for a while. She finally went to have it examined after finishing pharmacy school at the UA. The mole was removed, and the next night Cooley was informed she had melanoma. Cooley said she was kind of “freaked out” but thought because
it was skin cancer it wasn’t that serious, but then the doctors told her melanoma was dangerous. “That was all very, very scary,”Cooley said.“You just kind of don’t think when you’re young that it can happen to you. It just doesn’t seem real at all.” Cooley had no family history of skin cancer and said she and her family were very shocked to learn she had melanoma. “None of us had any clue anything like that was coming; it was a total surprise,” Cooley said.
Cooley is not an unusual case. For the staff at the Arizona Cancer Center, it is not uncommon to see patients in their 20s and 30s. “It’s a wake-up call,” said Clara Curiel, assistant professor of medicine at the Arizona Cancer Center. “People tend to think that skin cancer is a disease of the elderly and something that cannot happen to you.” Cooley said she would advise people to see a dermatologist once a year and to practice safe sun behavior. “It can happen to anybody,”
Cooley said. “I think it is important for people to realize how common it is in young people.” Heather Hiscox, program development coordinator for the Skin Cancer Institute at the Arizona Cancer Center, and Lisa Quale, the center’s health educator, stressed that it is important to check skin regularly because the fatality rate of melanoma is extremely high if not caught early. Quale said melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, largely affects
demands $5M cut from UA By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The UA’s proposed budget reduction of 2.75 percent might appear like a sliver cut by the finest scalpel, but when it means more than $5 million must be cut — and soon — it feels more like a swing from an axe. At the beginning of March, the Arizona Board of Regents told the UA to make a one-time cut from its budget by the beginning of the upcoming fiscal year. Although the general terms of the directive are still being worked out, it looks as if there will need to be about a $5.26 million reduction in general fund salaries. Jennifer Grentz, assistant executive director for public affairs for ABOR, noted that planning how the universities will proceed will start Tuesday and conclude at a special board meeting at the end of the month. Once the final wording of the directive is released, it will be clear whether ABOR wants Arizona schools to give the money from the 2.75 percent reduction in the general salary budget back to the state or just move it to a different section of school expenditures. As of yet, there are no definite plans of how to achieve this reduction. “We know the number, we just don’t know the specifics as of yet,” said Johnny Cruz, UA media relations director and assistant vice president of communications. “We don’t know how we are going to get there yet.” An official March 12 memorandum from President Robert Shelton’s office to faculty and staff stated, “Given the complex nature of UA’s salary sources, we will need some time to determine the full impact of this directive.” The road to a $5 million spending reduction is causing many people to worry. In the same March memo, Shelton noted he personally “did not want the campus community to misinterpret this directive and assume that there would be across-the-board salary reductions.” Cruz noted that the UA is already doing more with less, seeing increased enrollment coupled with staff cut-backs in the face of budget reductions.

To Catch a Cheater: Eller’s GoodCat Hotline utilized By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Despite precautions taken by professors, cheating happens. The Eller College of Management recently released the GoodCat Hotline, a Web site students can use to report academic dishonesty within the college. The Web site mimics ethics hotlines used in the business community, which allow people to report unethical behavior seen in their companies. GoodCat, however, is tailored to students. Eller students can go onto the Web site and fill out a form about the incident. Students enter
the type of cheating as well as who cheated and where the incident occurred. Those reporting can enter their names or choose to report the incident anonymously. The Web site was donated and developed specifically for Eller by EthicsPoint, a company that specializes in hotlines. “Nobody else has done this. It’s the first application at the collegiate level for students,” said Paul Melendez, director of the ethics program in the department of management and organizations. The site aims to deter cheating by making it clear that students’ behavior is being monitored. Students may weigh the
risk of cheating differently knowing that anyone can report them. “If nothing else, it will help to make students aware,” Melendez said. The college stresses ethics under the belief that habits formed during college follow students into their careers. While cheating in the classroom may go unnoticed, poor business ethics can lead to serious consequences. “What students demonstrate in the classroom they will demonstrate in the boardroom,” Melendez said. Suzanne Cummins, senior lecturer in the department of management and organizations, notes that the site allows professors to track how students
cheat. Professors can then decide how to administer tests and assignments based on GoodCat reports. “We’re not trying to get to the student. We’re trying to get to the problem,” Cummins said. “It’s kind of a wake-up call to the teacher.” The site also aims to give a voice to students angered by their cheating peers. “It’s a quiet anger that people have about cheating if they’re not involved in it,” Cummins said. The site was developed with input from the Eller Board of Honor and Integrity, a group of about 40 Eller students.

Gabrielle Johnston, a public management and policy senior, is the chair of the Eller Board and finds GoodCat to be an effective resource. “Eller has a strict code of academic conduct. I think it’s a great way for students to anonymously report what they may not feel comfortable going to a professor about,”Johnston said. The site, which was released just before spring break, has received one report so far. Cummins views the site as a “last resort” for students who have difficulty approaching their professors.

Do you have any rockin’ summer plans to look forward to? Yes, I have big plans for this summer. I’m going to go to Key West, Fla. for my 21st birthday at the end of May. Then, after a month of working in Seattle, (Wash.) I am going to fly to Australia to take a three week photography course. Then, I am going to spend another two weeks traveling with my friend up the west coast of Australia. We are basically renting this thing called a Chubby Van and living out of that for two weeks while we site see. Woah! That sounds like it will be quite an epic summer. And you can’t go wrong with something called a Chubby Van. (Laughs) Yeah. So, what is a mustsee for when you go to Australia? The Great Barrier Reef? The Sydney Opera House? We don’t have any big plans, but we definitely want to go snorkeling and surfing. Sydney and the Opera House are definitely up there, though. Besides that, we just want it to be an adventure and do as many Australian things as possible. Well I’m envious. But I have to ask, are you going to be brave and have a vegemite sandwich? A what? Vegemite? C’mon, it’s an Aussie tradition. Really? Oh, I’ve never even heard of it. I should probably look into that. (Laughs) I’ve heard it’s an acquired taste, but definitely keep your eyes out.

Powerful Baja quake less devastating than Haiti LOS ANGELES — Twenty million people in three U.S. states and Mexico felt Sunday’s Baja California earthquake — a more powerful temblor than the Haiti quake, yet with a lower death toll and far less devastation. Why? Scientists say part of the answer is location, location, location. Only about 500 people in the agricultural communities south of the growing city of Mexicali were exposed to the most violent shaking. “If you had to place a large earthquake, this was a good location,” said seismologist Susan Hough of the U.S. Geological Survey.
The magnitude-7.2 Baja quake is believed to have begun in the southeast section of the Laguna Salada fault and moved northwest, focusing much of its energy on a vast, largely vacant desert region. Scientists say the seismic punch would have been a lot worse had the quake ruptured north toward the Mexicali metropolitan region with about 900,000 people. “Call it a near-miss,” said geophysicist David Wald of the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado. A similar thing happened during the 1999 magnitude-7.1 Hector Mine quake.

Though buildings in downtown Los Angeles swayed, the quake hurled most of its energy toward the desert. Japan was not as lucky when, in 1995, a quake the same size as the Baja temblor hit the bustling port city of Kobe and killed 6,400 people. In January, a less powerful magnitude-7.0 quake struck Haiti, killing a governmentestimated 230,000 people and shattering Port-au-Prince. A month later, a magnitude-8.8 hit Chile and spawned a tsunami. Several hundred people died.

LOS ANGELES — Dennis Hopper’s estranged wife and daughter can live on his property while the couple resolve their bitter divorce case and the actor fights prostate cancer, a judge ruled Monday. Superior Court Judge Amy Pellman also ordered the actor to pay $12,000 a month in spousal and child support. Hopper, 73, did not attend the hearing but was repeatedly described by his attorney as “desperately ill.” Hopper’s adult children attended but did not speak. Pellman sternly told both sides they needed to come together during what appeared to be Hopper’s final days. “It’s never one-sided,” Pellman said of the family turmoil. “There needs to Dennis Hopper be street-cleaning on both sides of this street.” The judge noted the couple’s 7-year-old daughter is about to undergo the traumatic loss of her father and the rhetoric should be toned down. “Having her extended family in a war with her mother is not in her best interests,” Pellman said. The rulings came after two months of bickering in court filings, including allegations of abuse by both sides, and jockeying for financial position. The couple has been married for nearly 14 years. Hopper filed for divorce in January. “It’s heartbreaking and I hope it can be amicably resolved,” Victoria Duffy Hopper said after the hearing. She has been living in a house at her husband’s Venice compound, which is also home to one of his adult children. She has agreed to remain at least 10 feet away from the“Easy Rider”star and avoid the main home on the property. She said in court filings the divorce was an attempt to cut her out of her inheritance, an accusation that has been denied. Hopper’s attorney, Joseph Mannis, said after the hearing that he was happy with the outcome, aside from the judge awarding Victoria Hopper $200,000 in attorney and accountant fees. He said his side did not intend to further contest the spousal or child support orders but was preparing for a fight over the couple’s prenuptial agreement. The agreement calls for Victoria Hopper to lose her stake in her husband’s estate if they are divorced or not living together when he dies. Another hearing on how to divide Hopper’s life insurance policy will be held in May. —The Associated Press

New president calls for grad student center, more council visibility
Connally specifically mentioned the creation of a center for graduate students as one of her major goals for next year. “I think students need a place that takes advantage of the UA talent pool and provides jobs and a forum for students to hone their skills,” Connally said. The vice-presidential race also pitted a former council member against a current one, with opposite results. Alison Betts, an English graduate student , beat Farah Sutton 243 votes to 161. Betts was a member of the council for two years and also held the positions of policy director and GPSC chief of staff during her stint. “I’m excited to serve on the council again,” Betts said. “I think that Emily and I will make a good team. I’m also pleased that Farah and Mabel will still be involved

as representatives still, since they bring a lot of experience to the table. The council is looking good for next year.” In her official statement, Betts cited graduate student workloads and the UA’s lack of on-site childcare as major components of her platform. “In general, I think getting the council to become more visible is key to what we do,” Betts said. “We as a council do a lot of good work, but we need to make sure graduate students know we are a resource for them to utilize.” Lopez-Negrete also expressed his confidence in the new president and vice-president. “I think both Emily and Alison will do great,” Lopez-Negrete said. “They both have lots of experience and they both have served on the council before, so they definitely
know what they’re doing. I have full confidence they will do a great job leading the council.” Despite falling short in their bids for administrative positions, both Crescioni and Sutton were reelected to the council as representatives for additional terms. New GPSC members will be sworn in during the last council meeting of the semester on April 21.

Arizona Proposition 100 and NCAA student-athlete academics dominated discussion at the latest meeting of the UA Faculty Senate on Monday. The Faculty Senate discussed a motion to approve the “Academics First!” resolution, which was issued in November of last year by the Faculty Senate at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics. The resolution includes several stipulations regarding the academic performance of athletes, requiring all athletes to have a cumulative grade point average of 2.0, a recommendation that all athletics-related activities (practices, team meetings, etc.) be held outside the“prime times for academic classes” and a recommendation that the university establish policies that would minimize class time lost to athletic contests and travel. Jory Hancock, dean of the College of Fine Arts and member of the UA Intercollegiate Athletic Commission, estimated that the average cumulative grade point average of a student-athlete at the UA was around 2.7-2.8, but pointed out that at Mississippi State University those same figures were around 2.99 during the tenure of new UA athletic director Greg Byrne. The resolution was passed unanimously. Proposition 100, which is a proposed three-year one-cent increase to the state sales tax, has been fervently discussed by the UA administration and student government since it was placed on the state ballot Feb. 4. The tax increase, which would raise the sales tax amount from 5.6 to 6.6 cents for every dollar of purchased taxable items, would raise approximately $1 billion a year in new funds, according to Gov. Jan Brewer. Sixty-six percent of those funds would go to fund public and higher education, with the remainder going into health and human services and public safety initiatives. “This is a critical moment in Arizona history,” said Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Chris Nagata. “It is time to act. With so many things invested in the passage or failure of Proposition 100, we are doing everything we can to show the dire need for it.” The Arizona Students’ Association has been taking a leadership role in the campaign and is working toward several goals before the election. Those goals
include registering 1,000 new student voters by April 9, with 333 coming from the UA, and receiving 15,000 completed “I Support Prop. 100” cards, with 5,000 of those coming from the UA. “We’re really trying to engage and educate as many students as possible about the implications of Proposition 100, both positive and negative,” Nagata said.“We’re direly hoping this gets passed.” If approved by voters, Proposition 100 would halt further cuts to state universities for the next fiscal year. If it fails, an additional $120 million would be cut from the state’s higher education budget, with $41 million to $42 million being cut from the UA. President Robert Shelton stated that there are only two UA expenditure areas that, if cut, could equal that loss in state funding: university salaries and financial aid. “As a private citizen who believes in public education, K-12 and higher, I urge you to get the word out about Prop. 100,” Shelton said. Shelton also addressed the Arizona Board of Regents’recent demand to reduce general fund expenditures on university salaries by 2.75 percent for the next academic year. “We’ve already lowered our expenses by that amount for (fiscal year) 2010,”Shelton said. “We’ve reduced it by more than 2.75 percent. So the regents’ instruction is moot for this fiscal year, it’s done. What we’re doing now is looking forward to (fiscal year) 2011 and thinking about what that means for us.” Shelton said the 2.75 percent cut in salaries, which accounts for approximately $5.3 million at the UA, would not be given back to the state but rather be reapportioned into different areas of the budget. When asked about why ABOR would choose to implement this cut now, Shelton could only speculate. “I think the intent of the regents’ cut was not so much fiscal as it was to show solidarity with the legislature’s budget,” Shelton said. “Their budget instructed that all state agencies except universities eliminate performance pay and institute furloughs. I think this is an effort to demonstrate that we feel their pain on the part of the regents.” The Faculty Senate also discussed and approved a motion reaffirming its opposition to permitting weapons on the UA campus. This motion was also passed without dissent.
Vacant retiree positions will remain unfilled
“As far as (how the cut) relates to salary savings, there’s always vacancy savings, unfilled positions, retirements … all of those things we know achieve salary savings,” he said. “And we’ve done those already this year. What we’ll have to do over and above that is what we don’t know.” The UA will not fill vacant positions left by retirees and others who have left the university. According to Cruz, that will only cover about half of the $5 million that needs to be cut. The plan to cut the remainder is still undecided. All of this budget wrangling comes at the same time as the final push for Proposition 100, an Arizona ballot initiative to
add a one-cent sales tax in Arizona. Without its passage, the alternative budget will be put into place for the state, permanently cutting more than $107 million from Arizona higher education and $41 million from the UA specifically. Cruz noted that, although they both deal with budget, the UA is treating the ABOR directive and the proposition vote independently. “Those two things are separate,” he said. “They still result in cuts, but they are separate issues.” The UA presentation to ABOR about balancing the budget cut will, however, model a budget without the
passage of Proposition 100, according to Cruz. “The question is how much more do we have to do and how,” Cruz said about all the recent budget hits to the UA. “There will certainly be an impact, but the question is to what degree and how many people will be affected.”
Final notice of the directive will be announced at the ABOR special meeting on April 30 - May 1. Early voting for Proposition 100 will start April 22 with full elections on May 18.

EDITORIAL
SAFRA-ficed: Student aid act just the first step O
n March 30, The Student Aid and Financial Responsibility Act of 2009 was signed into law by President Barack Obama as part of HR 4872, also known as the Health Care and Reconciliation Act of 2010. Largely overshadowed by the more sweeping health care implications of the bill in the media, SAFRA will dramatically change the structure of the student loan industry and increase funding to the Pell Grant program by more than $36 billion. While any legislative action that makes higher education a greater priority in the United States should be lauded, this bill is much less than what it could have been. This is a positive step toward forwarding Obama’s campaign promise to make college more affordable and accessible, but it is just one step in a journey that will undoubtedly prove to be thousands of miles. As The Chronicle of Higher Education reported, “The drawn-out battle for … landmark student loan reform resulted in limited gains, providing only a portion of the money the president had sought for some of his key higher education goals.” In times when states are consistently cutting funding not only to institutions of higher education but also programs that help students pay for college, the federal government could have done much more for current and future college students. Though the rider will give $36 billion to the Pell program, more students are now qualifying for this need-based aid. As Terry W. Hartle, senior vice president for government and public affairs at the American Council on Education, explained, “The president’s initiative has moved from a vast expansion to an effort to maintain and sustain the Pell program.” According to The Chronicle, “More than a third of the Pell Grant money in the bill will be used to cover past shortfalls in appropriations rather than to pay for future increases.” Though the increase in funding to the Pell program affords for an annual inflation rate of about 1 percent, the Congressional Budget Office reports that the rate of inflation for general higher education costs is closer to 3 percent. Though the U.S. is currently in the no. 10 spot of 30 nations ranked, Obama has said his goal is for the U.S. to be number one in the world by 2020 in measures of college completion. He is not going to be able to meet that goal with such meager allocations to colleges and to programs that help students offset the ever-moreburdensome costs of attending college. While the Pell program should indeed be sustained, Obama and Congressional Democrats should not abandon their earlier goals. Though their efforts passing this legislation, which may have languished otherwise, are commendable, the sacrifices this bill experiences must be made up for with future legislation. Community colleges bear most of the disappointment with the version of this bill that finally passed: Obama had originally suggested allocating $12 billion over 10 years to restructure and rebuild two-year colleges. The original House bill had $10 billion for community colleges. The final amount included in SAFRA for community colleges was a comparatively paltry $2 billion. About 39 percent of Americans between 25 and 34 currently hold associate degrees or higher. In Canada, more than 55 percent of people in that same age group have completed the same degree of education. Increasing funding to community colleges should be a priority, as community colleges offer more affordable methods for students to achieve associate degrees and cost-saving options for students who later move on to get four-year degrees. Though the increase in funding may sound like a large and unnecessary figure to current legislators, higher education should remain a financial priority even and especially in times when money is less abundant. Higher education is a smart option for the U.S. government: as quoted in The Chronicle, FinAid publisher Mark Kantrowitz said a much larger increase in funding to the Pell program would be “a wise investment for the federal government.” Kantrowitz calculates that doubling the value of the Pell Grant would produce an average 14 percent return on investment in the form of future income tax revenue. Obama had big ideas for higher education, and this legislation marks forward motion in regards to reforming the student loan industry and continuing the muchneeded Pell program.

As a private educational/character education consultant and health educator here at Campus Health, I just wanted to commend you for bringing the serious problem and consequences of bullying to the forefront in your editorial (sic) on March 31 (“Too late to take action against bullies”). This is a national problem that affects so many with its serious, long-lasting emotional and physical consequences. The idea that bullying is just a routine rite of passage for all students is irresponsible. The problem of bullying has only gotten worse with the addition of cyber avenues by which to intimidate others. Kudos to you for bringing this important issue back into our consciousness as educators, peers and compassionate people. Mindfulness and kindness must trump cruelty.

ASU probably cannot afford it. Michael Crow has such a huge litigation budget because he fires anyone who stands in his way, including tenured professors. The news doesn’t surprise me.

CHATTER It’s Friday ni-i-ight
In an increasingly competitive job market, it seems that internships are becoming an essential facet of every qualified candidate’s résumé. As such, college students, as well as a number of recent college graduates, are jumping at the chance to take advantage of the ever−growing number of unpaid internships offered. Recently, however, there have been questions raised about the legality of certain unpaid internships, specifically whether interns are being treated more as free labor as opposed to being given the learning experience and training that internships are supposed to offer. For an internship to be unpaid, it must comply with the conditions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which includes the stipulations that the employer gains no immediate advantage from the work of the unpaid intern (or “trainee”), that the trainee does not “displace regular employees,” that “the training is for the benefit of the trainee” and that the aforementioned training is akin to the type of education one would receive in a vocational school or a formal academic setting. If the internship fails to meet these regulations, it is required that the business pay the intern at least minimum wage for his or her work. With these guidelines in mind, it is not hard to see how some internships, especially ones in which interns spend more time doing menial labor than learning the ropes of their chosen profession, are pushing the boundary between unpaid, résumé−building experience and exploitation. Especially in light of the country’s current economic state, it is tempting for companies to take advantage of unpaid interns, and young future professionals in today’s job market often feel that they have little choice but to accept these internships to bolster their work experience. Under the current system, some companies have increasingly begun to see interns not as future professionals in search of training but as a source of free labor to fill menial jobs that offer little insight into the professional world many interns are hoping to break into. This not only means that interns are not receiving any training
5
A view from other college editorials that would help them to gain valuable skills that would assist them in the working world, as is required by FLSA, but also that their work is of immediate advantage to their employer, often at the expense of any meaningful training. Indeed, in a recent New York Times article, some students reported having supposedly competitive internships end up looking more like janitorial work than hands−on learning. As long as companies continue to offer unpaid internships as a way of filling their lowest positions, students will continue to jump at the chance to bolster their résumés, despite the unfavorable work conditions and the questionable level of experience gained, because it has become assumed that the unpaid internship is an acceptable institution. While some states, like California and Oregon, have already begun to prosecute and fine employers who violate the laws surrounding unpaid internships, more needs to be done to ensure that students and recent graduates do not fall prey to companies in search of free labor. As companies cannot be expected to follow these guidelines if they are not properly enforced, it is necessary that a third party intervene. If the government required that companies submit some form of training plan or outline for their internship positions to either a state or federal agency, as well as enforced more strictly the FLSA regulations already in place, it would help to lessen the number of college students who spend their summers in unfair, unpaid internship programs. —“Internships not an excuse for unpaid labor,” The Tufts Daily editorial board, April 5
The check is in the mail
Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail may stop the Postal Service, but perhaps the economy? Mail may soon be a day — or two — slower. The U.S. Postal Service announced, paradoxically via e-mail, that it plans to cut Saturday mail delivery, a move that may further delay its delivery of snail mail. Yet as much as we have been accustomed to instant messengers that barely cost
us a second or two, the Postal Service would do wrong by further pulling out of a sector that, before e-mail, was long ruled by it and only it. In addition to the agony of waiting another two days to receive our mail, there is another detriment to the loss of Saturday mail. We, as college students, are certainly busy on weekdays — classes, sports or student-run newspapers. Therefore, if it were only possible to pick up mail on those days, our schedules would only be more packed. It seems then that Saturdays are our only partially free days. If to not selfishly focus on our petty student problems, there still are those who solely rely on the mail. While perhaps in another 50 years everyone in society may be completely able to use e-mail, there are still older generations now that cannot. Mail is therefore their only opportunity, and logically so, to keep up with everything from bills to postcards. Another day lost, then, would only put these people at a disadvantage. We must also disagree with the weak financial explanations behind USPS’s reasoning. The Postal Regulatory Commission has estimated that this move would save a measly $1.9 billion. According to Newsweek though, the agency is projected to lose nearly $23 billion a year for the next decade. The projected savings then are simply several grains of sand in a pit of ongoing losses. This move then is fundamentally and fiscally wrong, or unplanned to say the least. With the ever-proliferating e-mail system and instant electronic methods of communication, USPS should focus on improving its ways, rather than slowing them. And while perhaps we may be romanticizing of postcards from Paris or letters from our friends in the Far East reaching us sooner, the detriments of cutting Saturday mail delivery are more than obvious. When one of the oldest government agencies goes under, or at least cuts services in such a way, there is no hope for any strong government division. It may be a dreary picture for the Postal Service as of now, but if neither rain nor snow stops the mail on weekdays, why should it stop it on Saturdays? —“Snail mail slows down,” The Rutgers Daily Targum editorial board, April 4
alcohol make Q Does you lose brain cells? A. attention. What’s a brain got to do to get noticed?
Like your most annoying sibling, the liver seems to get all the
All kidding aside, research shows that significant brain development continues through adolescence and well into young adulthood. Heavy alcohol use can impair brain function in college aged students and adolescents need only drink half as much as adults to suffer the same negative effects. Many scientists are concerned that drinking during this critical developmental period could lead to lifelong impairments in brain function, especially regarding functions of memory, motor skills, impulse control, coordination, planning and decision making. As brain functions go, these are all pretty important, eh?! Trust me; no one wants to have the smallest hippocampus on campus. Size does matter. Those who abuse alcohol have significantly smaller hippocampi. This area of the brain suffers the worst alcohol brain damage in teenagers and young adults. Damage to the hippocampus makes it hard to learn and hold on to knowledge. Another major contributor to short and long-term brain function is binge drinking. College students who have a higher propensity for bingeing will often suffer repeated bouts of withdrawal from alcohol. Repeated withdrawal may be a significant reason for alcohol’s harmful effects on the brain. The National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, NIAAA, defines binge drinking as consuming about four drinks for men or three drinks for women in about 2 hours. Compared to students who drink moderately or not at all, frequent drinkers have greater difficulty catching up in brain function as they become adults. So, in the end, while alcohol may not cause you to lose brain cells, it can profoundly suppress brain cell activity and critical development as well as cause actual permanent changes in the hippocampus and frontal lobes. No brain, no gain. Just sayin.’ 95% of underage UA students have not received a Minor in Possession in the past year. (2009 Health & Wellness Survey, N=1,720)

POLICEBEAT By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Rowdy roommate row
A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived to the Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall on Thursday at 6 p.m. after a resident assistant reported two fighting students. When the officer arrived at the dorm room, the RA told the officer that he had heard loud banging noises coming from one of the rooms. When the men who shared the room answered the door they were short of breath, and one of them had blood on his shirt. One of the men told the officer that he and his roommate had shared the room since January and that his roommate was moving out because he had been evicted because of noise violations. The man told the officer that, after he had returned from spring break, he noticed that $130 was missing from his room and assumed that his roommate took the money. The man asked his roommate if he stole the money, and he said no. The man became angry and decided that he would take his roommate’s stereo as collateral for the money. He said that, because the roommate owed him the money, the stereo would be enough compensation. The roommate told the officer that he confronted the man about taking his stereo and told him that he never stole the money, so he could not take anything from him. The roommate said the man then called him a “sketchy motherfucker” and pushed him. After being pushed several times in the chest, the man then hit the roommate in the face with closed fists. The fight lasted between three and five minutes, and they started to calm down. Another fight began and lasted until the RA came to the room to stop them. The roommate had a cut on his lip, a bloody mouth and a bump on his forehead. The other resident had a scratch on his neck and a small cut on his finger. The resident who had tried to steal the stereo was arrested for disorderly conduct, domestic violence, assault-domestic violence and attempted theft. The man was transported to Pima County Jail. Photos of the room and the men were taken and placed into UAPD property as evidence. The roommate was issued a victim’s rights form and a Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students for the incident.
Dumpster fire at frat house
A UAPD officer responded to the Sigma Chi fraternity house at 1423 E. First St. on Thursday at 1:23 p.m. after someone called to report a dumpster fire. When the officer got to the house, the Tucson Fire Department was already putting the flames out with a fire hose. The officer secured the area. A man flagged down the officer and told him that he was the one who reported the fire. He said that he had parked his car and was walking through the parking lot when he noticed smoke coming from the dumpster area. After he called the fire department, he noticed flames start to emerge from the dumpster. The man told the officer that there was no one in the area when the fire started and that he did not notice anything suspicious that would indicate arson. Once the fire was out, the officer saw that damage was limited to a dumpster lid that was partially melted. Surveillance video from outside the house, but the video did not show the dumpster or anything related to the fire. TPD told the officer that some coals were found at the bottom of the dumpster, a member of the fraturnity said that the barbeque was used by the house to cook often and that some coal may have been thrown away. The cook told the officer that he thought the coals were cool enough to be thrown away and that he did not think they could have started the fire. The scene was cleared, and photos of the dumpster and coals were taken and put into property. Victim’s rights were issued to the City of Tucson Risk Management.

Students ‘charm’ fashion world By Maura Shea ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UA students Alyssa Wasko and Dana Constantino have more than an ordinary friendship; they are business partners. Not only are they best friends, sorority sisters and roommates, but they also share a special bond through the business they created: Donni Charm. Wasko, a pre-business and retailing and consumer science junior, explained that the company is an expansion of her fashion hobby. “Donni Charm was not planned,” Wasko said. “It is what I like to call a happy accident.” Wasko first realized how unique her fashion talent was when she gave a scarf that she had made to Constantito, a family studies and human development junior. From then on, the compliments and demand for these unique scarves didn’t stop coming, thus Donni Charm was created. However, what sets this clothing company apart is the inspiration behind the name. Donni Charm was named after Wakso’s father, Donald, who passed away two years ago.
“When my father passed away, Donni Charm was a really good way to channel my energy and a kind of coping mechanism for me,” Wasko said.“Naming the company after him seemed like the perfect thing to do.” Every piece of clothing has a charm on it that represents a positive aspect of life. Some of the charms are angel wings, hearts, fleur-de-lis and peace signs. These different charms give meaning to the company slogan, “a charming way to remember the people you love.” While Donni Charm’s merchandise started out as just scarves, it is expanding to tank tops and T-shirts, as well. “Scarves will always be the foundation of our company because of the significance behind them,” Wasko said. The clothing line is meant to fit almost anyone’s style. Buyers have been everyone from girls in elementary school to grandmothers. Wasko and Constantino have gotten a positive reaction to the meaning of their products and how they have been able to benefit the lives of others.

Constantino and Wasko are the founders and designers of the up-andcoming Donni Charm fashion line.
“People have really connected with our product and the meaning behind it. We had a friend come to us to design a line for lung cancer, and the proceeds were donated to lung cancer research,” Constantino said. Products from Donni Charm are sold in boutiques across the country. Patti Weinstein, an employee of the Colorado boutique Roxy, said the scarves have“wonderful sentimental value” and added that “sales are excellent.” The company’s scarves have been seen in magazines such as US Weekly and have been worn by actress Jessica Biel.

Census Bureau urges same-sex couples to be counted THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK — With strong backing from the Census Bureau, gay-rights activists are urging maximum participation by their community in the first U.S. census that will tally same-sex couples who say they’re married — even those without a marriage license. The move has drawn fire from conservatives, who complain that it’s another step toward redefining marriage. For the first time, the bureau has deployed a team of professional field workers — about two-dozen strong — to reach out to gays and lesbians. On Monday, the bureau unveiled its first public-service videos encouraging gay Americans to mail in their census forms. “What I tell folks in the bureau is that this is a powerful, important part of American society,”said Tim Olson, a Census Bureau assistant division chief helping to oversee
the campaign. “We have to reach out and engage this part of the population. Anything less than that is a failure,”he said. Only the District of Columbia and five states — Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Iowa — have legalized gay marriages, starting with Massachusetts in 2004. But the Census Bureau says same-sex couples in any state who consider themselves spouses should feel free to check the “husband” or “wife” boxes on the census form, rather than “unmarried partner.” The bureau’s willingness to count gay marriages — despite a federal law that denies legal recognition to any of them — has been hailed as a historic milestone by gay-rights leaders. “It’s humongous,” said Jaime Grant, director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force’s Policy Institute. “Our opponents are rightfully
concerned, because it does lend an air of legitimacy to our marriages,” Grant said. “It’s another way of weaving us into the fabric instead of continuing to see as outsiders.” Some conservatives have complained that the eventual count of samesex unions will be legally inaccurate while serving as ammunition for gaymarriage advocates. Gary Randall, president of the Bellevue, Wash.-based Faith and Freedom Network, complained in a blog posting last month that the census“is leaving it to responders to characterize their own relationships, regardless of legal status.” “Will homosexual numbers be inflated by this ‘you decide what you are’ policy? Probably,” Randall wrote. “This policy shift is another attempt to confuse the discussion about marriage by creating a problem of sorts, then providing a solution that advances the homosexual agenda of
redefining marriage.” Olson said he was aware of the criticisms, but defended the Census Bureau’s policy of counting people according to how they identify themselves. “We’re treating the gay community the same as other segments of the population,” he said. “There’s a respect factor there. … We’ve never asked people to show us their marriage licenses. We don’t do that for straight people.” Olson also stressed the confidentiality of the census — insisting, for example, that gay members of the military should have no fear about identifying themselves as part of a same-sex union, even though the“don’t ask, don’t tell”policy forbids gay service members from being open about their sexual orientation. The census forms do not inquire directly about sexual orientation, and some gayrights activists have complained that this means single gays — as opposed to
those with live-in spouses and partners — have no means of gaining collective representation through the census. Olson said an act of Congress would be needed to add a sexual orientation question to the form, and some activists are already planning a campaign to achieve that. In a first step, a campaign called“Queering the Census,”activists are distributing stickers for gays and lesbians to attach to this year’s forms on which they can identify themselves as gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual. In the previous census, in 2000, the Census Bureau tallied 600,000 same-sex couples who were cohabiting across the country. In initial planning for the 2010 census, federal officials indicated that same-sex married couples would be tallied as unmarried partners who lived together, not as wedded spouses. But those plans were changed in part because of intensive lobbying by gay-rights groups.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE AUGUSTA, Ga. — The most compelling and humanizing moment of Tiger Woods’ 35-minute mea culpa? It came when Woods acknowledged having missed the first birthday of his son, Charlie. That occurred on Feb. 8, toward the end of his 45-day stay in rehab. “That hurts a lot,” Woods said. “I vowed never to miss another one after that. It was something I probably will regret for the rest of my life.” Woods spoke of his many regrets Monday during his first session with a full media contingent, calling his behavior “pretty brutal.” He came across as sincere, accommodating and relaxed. He didn’t bristle at a single question and felt comfortable enough to respond to one long query with: “That was a long-winded one there, bro.” Woods opened by making two points: He said he was “blown away” by the encouragement of the Masters galleries during his practice round Monday morning. “It was just incredible, the encouragement I got,” he said. He also apologized to his fellow PGA Tour pros for their being “bombarded” by questions about the indiscretions in his
personal life. “Hopefully after today the players can be left alone to focus on the Masters,” he said. Woods strongly denied any wrongdoing regarding treatment he received from Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, who has been charged with supplying HGH to elite athletes. Woods said he chose Galea because Galea had worked with many athletes. And Woods needed treatment not just for the torn ACL in his left knee but also, he disclosed, a torn Achilles in his right leg. “He never gave me Gerry Melendez/The State/MCT HGH or any PEDs,” Tiger Woods hits a chip on No. 4 during a practice round for the Masters Woods said, referring to at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., on Monday. performance-enhancing But asked why he avoided an interview drugs. “I have never taken any illegal with police, he replied: “I did everything to drug, ever.” Woods shed a small bit of light on the the letter of the law. My lawyer gave me adSUV accident that came during the early- vice, and I followed that advice.” Woods again declined to specify what he morning hours after Thanksgiving. He said he got a “busted” lip that required was in rehab for. “It’s personal,” he replied.“Thank you.” five stitches and a “pretty sore neck.”

“We don’t expect a lot of hits because, if we’re doing our job and have an open door policy, students will come to us,”Cummins said. Some students think the site will be effective in decreasing incidents of cheating. Marketing junior Jasmin Quintana explains that students often notice cheating that their professors do not catch. “I think it’s good, because that way teachers know what to look for,” Quintana said. Other students question the concept behind GoodCat. “I would never use the Web site. If you’re cheating, you take that risk. If you get away with it, you get away with it,”said Mike Natale, a management junior. “I don’t think it’s another student’s responsibility to tell the teacher.” The college is still working on publicizing the hotline to students. Melendez hopes the site will eventually be used at the UA beyond Eller. “My hope is that the experience here will generate enough interest and support that this opportunity can go campus-wide,” Melendez said.

younger women. “Melanoma is the leading cause of cancer death in women ages 25-30,” according to the Aim at Melanoma Foundation’s Web site. One major problem affecting young people is the use of tanning beds. “Using tanning beds under the age of 30 increases your risk (by) 75 percent for melanoma,” Hiscox said. She said the reason tanning beds are so dangerous is because they use ultraviolet light, which penetrates deeper levels of the skin. “For anyone who is tanning, whether it is inside or outside in the sun, tanning is always bad. You are exposing your skin to UV radiation,” Quale said. “If you are going to get a tan, get it out of a bottle; there is no such thing as a safe tan.” Hiscox said she went through her dad having skin cancer, and, at that time, it was thought to be something that happened only to older people. It wasn’t until she began working at the
clinic that she saw the magnitude of skin cancer. “Once I got into the clinic and saw people a bit younger than myself, it was terrifying,” Hiscox said.

A Friend Dies. Who Cares? Toxic drinking is an epidemic on campuses all across America. It means consuming so much alcohol the drinker passes out. But while “sleeping it off,” the victim may be quietly dying. When you come right down to it, students themselves are the best ones to tackle this problem. So, in growing numbers, Stony Brook students have joined together in the Red Watch Band movement. Working with experts, they fine-tuned a course in techniques to handle these alcohol emergencies. Red Watch Band members can act fast, when every second counts.They know the quick steps they can take to rescue a passed-out student from a drinking death, and can immediately summon professional help. Everyone completing the course is given the distinctive red watch for identification. Since its inception at Stony Brook University in March 2009, approximately 40 schools across the country have signed on to implement this lifesaving program.

Krzyzewski gets fourth title Coming Baseball Notes

Mark Cornelison/Lexington Herald-Leader/MCT
Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski cuts down the net following a 61-59 victory over Butler in the NCAA Championship game at Lucas Oil Stadiuim in Indianapolis, Ind., on Monday night.
Duke pulls it off in 61-59 thriller over Butler in NCAA title game in Indianapolis THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — The too-perfect basketball story with the tooperfect ending is still available on DVD. The real celebration for the new national champion — that’s taking place on Tobacco Road. Kyle Singler scored 19 points and Brian Zoubek rebounded Gordon Hayward’s miss with 3.6 seconds left Monday night to help Duke beat Butler 61-59, ending the tiny underdog’s try for a “Hoosiers” sequel one win short of the Hollywood ending. The Bulldogs had a chance to win it at the end in an amazing sequence that defined this tournament.
PAC-10 SOFTBALL POWER RANKINGS No. 1 Washington (30-3, 2-1 Pac-10)
The Huskies took a loss to a tough UCLA squad over the weekend, giving teams like Arizona and Stanford reason to believe Washington isn’t invincible.
No. 2 Arizona (30-4, 2-1)
It’s safe to say Arizona has the talent to go far if it pulls everything together. The Wildcats showed off their bats twice versus ASU but sandwiched an 11-1 loss between two blowout wins.
No. 10 ASU (32-6, 1-2)
Showing a glimpse of their explosive offense and young pitcher Sam Parlich’s talent, the Sun Devils throttled Arizona in one win. Now it’s about being consistent.
No. 5 UCLA (27-6, 1-2)
Maybe the Bruins stole one in a 1-0, Game 1 victory against Washington. In the rest of the series, however, they gave reason to believe the conference could very well be a four-team race.
No. 11 Stanford (27-5, 2-1)
Stanford’s offense won’t be enough to keep up with the title chase, but it did enough to take two games from the Cal Bears.
No. 14 California (29-8, 1-2)
The Golden Bears are gritty but didn’t have the execution to win the series against the Cardinal.
No. 21 Oregon (26-6, 2-1)
Oregon likes close games and wins them regularly, but taking a loss to the rival Beavers won’t help its cause.
Oregon State (20-16, 1-2)
Hey, the Beavers weren’t as bad as originally thought, playing toughly against a ranked Oregon team in three games. — compiled by Kevin Zimmerman
Gordon Hayward’s half-court shot at the buzzer went flying, thudded off the backboard and rim, and out and most of the crowd of 70,390 gasped, “Ohhhh.” So close. The Blue Devils (35-5) snapped Butler’s 25-game winning streak and brought the long-awaited fourth national title back home to Carolina and the Cameron Crazies. The “Big Three” — Singler, Jon Scheyer and Nolan Smith — won the Big One for coach Mike Krzyzewski, his first championship since 2001 and the fourth overall, tying Coach K with Adolph Rupp for second place on the all-time list. “First of all, it was a great basketball game. I want to congratulate
an amazing Butler team and their fans,” Krzyzewski said. “Fabulous year. We played a great game, they played a great game. It’s hard for me to say it, to imagine that we’re the national champions.” Nobody figured this would be easy, and it wasn’t — no way that was going to happen against Butler, the 4,200-student private school that turned the tournament upside down and drove 5.6 miles from its historic home, Hinkle Fieldhouse, to the Final Four. Butler (33-5) shaved a five-point deficit to one and had a chance to win it, when its best player, Hayward, took the ball at the top of the key, spun and worked his
way to the baseline, but was forced to put up an off-balance fadeaway from 15 feet. He missed, Zoubek got the rebound and made the first of two free throws. He missed the second one intentionally, and Duke’s title wasn’t secure until Hayward’s desperation heave bounded out. What a game to end one of the most memorable tournaments in history, the kind that could be history if the NCAA goes ahead with what an expansion to 96 teams — something very much on the table for next year. “Both teams and all the kids on

he No. 20 Arizona baseball team featuring 17 freshmen and 23 underclassmen took the collegiate baseball world by storm when it started the season 20-4, rattling off a 15-game win streak along the way. The Wildcats (20-8, 2-4 Pacific 10 Conference) were putting up monstrous offensive numbers that even head coach Andy Lopez didn’t expect. “I’m not going to lie to you. Did I think (the freshmen) were all going to come in here and hit .350 like they’re doing? Come on,” Lopez said before the California series. Three of the team’s four freshmen who play every day were hitting over .390 through 25 games, and the Wildcats were leading the Pac-10 in virtually every offensive category. Although the team of youngsters showed no signs of slowing down when it took two of three from Oregon to begin Pac-10 play, it would have been ignorant to believe that the Wildcats could keep this up all season. Or even for a few more weeks, for that matter. Something had to give. That proved true when the Wildcats scored only five total runs during a three-game sweep at the hands of the

Throwing illegal pitches
Arizona pitcher searching for answers By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
With pitching coach Teresa Wilson by his side, Arizona softball head coach Mike Candrea eyed the feet of senior pitcher Sarah Akamine intently for a good 10 minutes as she worked in the bullpen Monday. Candrea even toed the rubber himself, trying to figure out why Akamine has compiled nine illegal pitches in her last two outings against New Mexico and ASU. “We’re working on it a little,” Candrea said of refining the senior’s pre-pitch movements. “I don’t know what the trick is. It’s just something (the umpires are) putting a lot of emphasis in this year. “I think it’s kind of stupid,”he added. At the request of coaches’ surveys, the NCAA made clear that umpires would be watching pitchers more carefully for illegal movements in 2010. At the Judi Garman Classic in mid-March, now-No. 3 Michigan and ace Jordan Taylor were called for 33 illegal pitches in a single game in their match-up with Texas. The magnified focus on pitching rules has been apparent at Arizona as well. Akamine has been accused of taking her right toe off the rubber before her wind-up, and most of the calls have come when she pitches a screwball. She has given up two runs via balks during the last two games as well. While she does keep her heel in contact with the rubber, Wilson said Akamine lifts her toe off of it, something that is legal so long as it doesn’t “break the front plane of the pitching rubber.” A possible fix would be for Akamine to start further back on the rubber to assure that her toe doesn’t break that plane. “I’m not completely sure,” Wilson, a PITCHING, page 11

Fencing Club takes a stab at UA By Jaime Valenzuela ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT There are few students on the UA campus who can say their extracurricular activities revolve around swordplay. “You get to play with swords,”said James Fowler, who started the Arizona Fencing Club.“What could be better than that? It’s great starting motivation.” The Arizona Fencing Club has been in existence for a little more than two months and has a current membership of 10 students, most of whom are beginners from various academic interests. Fowler, a pre-business freshman, has been fencing for four years and started the club in hopes of having other people with whom he can fence. He began fencing at the Arizona Fencing Center in Mesa under the tutelage of a fencing master. The thought of using a sword drew his interest. “When I started, I couldn’t stop,”he said.“I just went and tried it one day, and it was amazing. By the time I came to (the UA), I was fencing every day, except for Sundays when the (fencing center) was closed.” The formation of the club was fairly easy, but putting everything in place has been difficult. Only recently has the club been approved for funding to get equipment for its members. Practice space has also been hard to come by. The club currently holds practice twice a week in one of the racquetball courts in the Student Recreation Center. Kyle Penner, a second-year astronomy graduate assistant and treasurer of the club, believes anyone can fence. “It’s not as intimidating as you might think,”Penner said.“You can pick up things really quickly.” As an undergrad at the University of Texas, Penner was a member of the fencing club and fixed the equipment under the title of armorer. As a child, he tried many sports, but fencing was the first sport to stick. Both Penner and Fowler have more than four years of fencing experience and hope to pass along what they know to their fellow club members. There are three types of bladed weapons that a fencer can use, but the club uses the épée, a heavy thrusting weapon. The swordplay may pique initial

interest in fencing, but technique and footwork are important aspects. “It takes a long time to get good,” Fowler said,“but not long to reach a level of basic competitiveness. It’s not hard but does require finesse. People who are athletic will do well.” There are lots of strategies one can employ when fencing with an opponent. While using the épée, any area of the body is a target. With the foot often left exposed, Fowler said he is fond of toe touches, as a hit on the toe is as valuable as a hit to the chest.
Currently, the Fencing Club does not compete in any team events as it is still in development. In Arizona, such events are not common, and the opportunities to participate in competitions are limited. The club is aiming to compete in such events in the future. The best way to fence with other people is to teach them, Fowler said.
Dress for the occasion
Danielle Grijalva, an astronomy and physics double major, had a quirky beginning to her fencing experience.
“I made (the) mistake of showing up in jeans the first (practice),”she added laughing.“We started practicing footwork, and it was not good. It was strongly suggested I wear some tennis shoes.” While athletic attire will greatly enhance one’s footwork and performance in fencing, the club’s overall goal is trying something new, while having fun along the way. “(It’s) a lot of fun,”Grijalva said.“I thought it was something to do and would be a good opportunity to get a little exercise.
FENCING TERMS • Tutelage: protection of or authority over someone or something; guardianship • Épée: a sharp-pointed dueling sword, designed for thrusting and used, with the end blunted, in fencing. • Armorer: a maker, supplier or repairer of weapons or armor. — Oxford English Dictionary

Offense cools off as Pac-10 begins
California Golden Bears — they had only scored five or fewer runs in four of the first 25 games. The team that nobody could get out for the first 25 games of the season — during which it averaged 9.9 runs per game and collected 10 or more hits 23 times — finally became human. Even though the Wildcats were riding high into Pac-10 play, a hiccup had to be coming. Most high school teams play no more than 25 games in a season, so is it a coincidence that the freshmen hit a bit of a wall during games 26, 27 and 28? The Cal series was also the team’s

first road trip after spending the first month and a half at Sancet Stadium, so is it a coincidence that the Wildcats struggled in Berkely? The series sweep at Cal could be attributed to the comebacker that struck the head of Arizona’s ace Kurt Heyer at 110 miles per hour. Although that was the biggest reason for the Game 1 loss, it couldn’t have impacted the team so much that it scored only three runs on 12 hits during the next two contests. No, the 15-game winning streak wasn’t a mirage. This plethora of youngsters have proven over the course of almost two months that
they can play at the collegiate level. “It was very evident that (the freshmen) were very motivated,� Lopez said.“They had some maturity to them, and they had some discipline to them.� There is still no questioning this group’s talent, but the Cal series further proved that the domination at the plate wouldn’t last forever and that the freshman class that seemed flawless after 25 games was eventually due for a few mediocre games. The real Wildcats aren’t the team that mashed in March or the team that was beat down in Berkeley, but somewhere in between.
Softball tries to work around calls
former head coach at Texas Tech, said of a solution. “It seems like there’s always a rule that people pay particular attention each season.� In a March 29 memorandum to all of the Division I softball coaches, NCAA softball secretary rules editor Dee Abrahamson and Kathy Strahm, national coordinator of the Softball Umpire Improvement Program, hoped to clarify the emphasis on the pitching rules. The goal of the new officiating, according to the document, was to make the flow of the game better. Instead, the NCAA admitted that
the controversy has had “unintended consequences� since the flow of the game had been hurt by the increased number of calls. “Therefore, in an effort to maintain this point of emphasis and diminish the unintended consequences,� the memorandum read, “it has been determined that in applying the pitching rules (Rules 10.2-10.6), pitchers should be given the benefit of the doubt when executing a legal pitch.� The message appeared to backtrack on the original plan, giving pitchers more freedom and the flow of the game more fluidity
after an officiating frenzy at the Judi Garman tournament. But on Friday against ASU, the officiating hadn’t appeared to give Akamine the benefit of the doubt in the eyes of the Arizona coaching staff. Candrea and Wilson were still looking for answers Monday. “The problem we have is they don’t call it consistently, so you really don’t know (how to fix it),� Candrea said. But in the end, the rules won’t conform to Candrea — he knows it’s his job to figure it out. “The key is, if they do call it then you have to have a fix.�
Have you found a favorite place to eat in Tucson yet? That’s a tough question; there are so many great restaurants. I’m a big fan of Mexican food, so I’m in the right place.

Blue Devils defense stalls Butler late
both teams played their hearts out,” Krzyzewski said. “There was never more than a couple, a few points separating, so a lot of kids made big plays for both teams.” Nobody led by more than six. Playing against the Bulldogs and working against a crowd of 70,390 with very few pockets of Duke fans, the Blue Devils persevered — never leading by more than six but never falling behind after Singler hit a 3-pointer with 13:03 left for a 47-43 lead. The Blue Devils won with defense. Holding the Bulldogs to 34 percent shooting and contesting every possession as tenaciously as Butler, which allowed 60 points for the first time since February. Zoubek, the 7-foot-1 center, finished with two blocks, 10 rebounds and too many altered shots to count, but also came out to trap the Butler guards and disrupt an offense that was already struggling. They won with some clutch shooting, including Singler’s 3-for-6 effort from 3-point range and 6 of 6 from the free throw line in the second half until Zoubek’s intentional miss. They won with a mean streak, most pointed when Lance Thomas took down Hayward hard to prevent an easy layup with 5:07 left. The refs reviewed the play and decided not to call it flagrant — one of a hundred little moments that could have swung such a tight, taut game. In the true team fashion that has defined “The Butler Way,” the scoring was distributed almost perfectly even. Hayward and Shelvin Mack had 12 each. Matt Howard, coming off a concussion in the semifinal win over Michigan State, finished with 11, and 2-point-a-game scorer Avery Jukes kept Butler in it with all 10 of his points in the first half. But Butler’s 33-year-old coach Brad Stevens was correct when he said his team couldn’t endure another 15-for-49 shooting night— what Butler shot Saturday in the semifinals. The Bulldogs went 20 for 58 this time — 34.5 percent — almost every bit as bad. All the heart in the world can’t overcome that. “I said yesterday that when you coach these guys, you can be at peace with whatever result you achieve from a won-loss standpoint
MLB OPENING DAY RECAP
Arizona Diamondbacks 6, San Diego Padres 3
PHOENIX — Stephen Drew’s inside-the-park home run came on a bounce so bizarre it might never be duplicated. Dan Haren’s performance, on the other hand, was routinely excellent. The Arizona ace held San Diego to three hits in seven innings and the Diamondbacks took advantage of two Padres errors for a 6-3 victory on Monday. Drew hit the ball in just the right spot — off an outfield porch — for the second straight opening day inside-the-park homer for major league baseball, a year after Emilio Bonifacio hit one for the Florida Marlins. At the time, that one had been the first in 41 years. Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer, the only earned runs among the six given up by San Diego starter Jon Garland (0-1). Adrian Gonzalez and Kyle Blanks hit consecutive two-out homers off Bob Howry in the ninth for San Diego. Haren (1-0) allowed one run and struck out four without a walk in the second opening day start of his career, first in three seasons with Arizona. He threw 20 of 24 first-pitch strikes and had a three-ball count against only one batter. “I just really attacked the zone,” he said. “I was throwing firstpitch strikes, I was going right at guys.”

because of what they gave — they gave everything we had,” Stevens said. “We just came up a bounce short. There’s certainly nothing to
hang your head about. I told them in there, what they’ve done, what they did together, will last longer than one night, regardless of the outcome.”
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s first pitch was way high and wide. Pretty much all of Roy Halladay’s were spot-on as he struck out nine in his National League debut to help the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Washington Nationals 11-1 Monday. Placido Polanco hit a grand slam and drove in six runs, and Ryan Howard also homered for the Phillies, who got their push for a third straight World Series appearance off to a strong start.
t n u o c s i d a s r e f f GM o s t n e d u t s e g e l l o c to ? s d a r g t n e c e r d an No way. YOU CAN SAVE HSUANNDDRSE, DS,
“We definitely got started off on a good note today,” Jayson Werth said. “Roy was magnificent. He was exactly what we expected.” Halladay (1-0) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings and settled down to dominate after the Nationals scored in the first. Ivan Rodriguez doubled to lead off the second, but Halladay then faced the minimum number of batters — with help from a pair of double plays — until the seventh, when he worked out of a two-on, one-out jam. “It was a lot different,” said Halladay, whose seven previous opening day starts came with the Toronto Blue Jays before being traded to the Phillies. “It’s been fun for me. Nothing against Toronto, but it kind of gives you renewed energy coming over here. It’s a team that wants to win and can win.”
Texas Rangers 5, Toronto Blue Jays 4
ARLINGTON, Texas — There was all the pomp and pageantry, the energy of a sold-out crowd and the expectations fueled by team president Nolan Ryan’s repeated insistence that the Texas Rangers should win at least 92 games this year. Yet, the Rangers went into the seventh inning on opening day against Shaun Marcum and the Toronto Blue Jays still without a hit. Thanks to two big hits from Nelson Cruz and a two-run rally in the ninth, though, Texas has taken the first step toward Ryan’s goal after a 5-4 victory Monday. “We showed out character out there,” manager Ron Washington said. “We got no-hit for six, got our first hit in the seventh, but they played nine innings. … They never quit. I tell you what, that clubhouse is something special.” Texas, which won 87 games last season, scored twice in the ninth off Blue Jays closer Jason Frasor. “What a way to start the season,” Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said. “We start with almost a nohitter and it leads to a loss.”
