The once and future budget UA president talks about the cuts of the present and how to move forward By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat

UA President Robert Shelton discusses the future of the budget and his vision for the university in his office on Monday.

To UA President Robert Shelton, the state’s $78 million cut to the UA means one thing. “It means people,” Shelton said. “It means jobs. That’s the sad part in all of this.” Since the state began cutting into the UA budget in 2008, the university has lost 600 employees, and Shelton said that number is likely to grow with the cuts proposed for next year. Under Gov. Jan Brewer’s original executive proposal, the UA would have lost $67 million in funding, though the state Senate wanted to eliminate $92 million.

million increase in operating expenses, which would all but eliminate the reserves. Shelton said that he “was hearing 2013 could be stable” from a budget perspective, and would present the UA with an opportunity to “catch its breath” after the cuts absorbed over the last few years, though he admitted that tuition would probably be raised next year as well. Shelton acknowledged the cuts were difficult but thought the proposal had been crafted taking into account all the different voices involved. “I look at the input I’ve had and

The two sides compromised at $78 million in the budget for fiscal year 2012 that was recently passed. Shelton said half of that amount will be covered through cuts to the university budget, and an additional $22 million in revenue will be generated through increases to tuition and fees. Proposed tuition increases are $600 for all out-ofstate students and $1,500 for all residents. The remainder of the budget shortfall, about $17 million, would have to come from the university’s reserve funds, which stand at approximately $28 million. Shelton also said the UA is conservatively anticipating a $10

Crash sends student to hospital Students urged to donate life

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A 22-year-old male UA student was struck by a car in the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Park Avenue and now is in serious condition at a local trauma center, according to police officials. A call came into the Tucson Police Department at about 9:30 a.m. citing an accident at the intersection, according to Sgt. Diana Lopez, TPD public information officer. Two vehicles and a bike were waiting in the left turn lane at a red light. A third vehicle was approaching westbound on Speedway Boulevard when the light changed. Lopez said the driver told police he was unable to stop his vehicle, swung too far to the right trying to avoid a collision and hit the cars and the cyclist and continued into the Circle K parking lot before coming to a stop at a gas pump. Initially, the cyclist’s injuries were life-threatening but his condition is now considered to

UA professor dies from heart attack By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Professor of animal sciences Roy Ax died unexpectedly of a heart attack on March 29 . Ax came to the UA as the chairman of the aepartment of animal sciences in 1990 and held that position until 2001 . He specialized in domestic animal reproduction and was also an adjunct professor of obstetrics and gynecology. Ax was an exceptional teacher with a good sense of humor, said Bob Collier, a professor in the department of animal sciences who knew him for

38 years. Ax received several teaching and research awards during his life. “He was very well recognized and won awards for his research in reproduction,” said Ron Allen, head of the department of animal sciences. Ax’s research had practical applications for livestock producers, bringing him national prominence in his field, according to Allen. “He was a really wonderful person, a really great teacher and made a lot of contributions to his field,” Collier said. “He had a fulfilling career and will be missed.”

Students could always find Ax’s door open, said Nancy Palm, an administrative assistant in the Department of Animal Sciences who knew Ax for five years. She said students often came to him with their academic and personal concerns. “He was just there for everyone,” Palm said. “That’s why he was so well-loved.” Ax showed commitment to the success of his undergraduate and graduate students. “He was very dedicated to education,” Palm said. “He was excellent at finding internships

‘Stuff the CatTran’ begins UA4Food ends its faculty food drive with community event By Samantha Munsey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As a way to close out the UA’s Faculty and Staff (food) Drive for the semester, UA4Food is encouraging members of the community to Stuff the CatTran. The third go-around of this annual event was put together in part by the UA Parking and Transportation Services, the Staff Advisory Council, UACommunity Relations and UA4Food as a way for people who are in the university area to donate canned or nonperishable food items. A CatTran bus will be stationed at the intersection of University Boulevard and Cherry Avenue, in front of the UAMall, from 5:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. People will have the option of walking to or parking beside the CatTran bus to donate items. Money donations for the Community Food Bank will also be accepted at the location. The Stuff the CatTran event marks the tail end of the faculty drive that began on March 14. Participants

were asked to take part in a food for service challenge where faculty members could donate a can of food or $1 for every year they had worked at the university. “I think this is a really successful event,” said Jacob Coldsmith, director of logistics for the Tucson Community Food Bank. “It’s a good way to end the faculty and staff drive, and I appreciate everyone’s work on it.” Some sought-after items for the drive include high-protein foods that are often pricey to purchase, such as peanut butter, canned meats and soups. “Nutritious foods that are nonperishable are always great to give,” said Holly Altman, director of the UA Outreach and Community Partnerships. Open or damaged items will not be accepted or placed in the CatTran. Beverages in glass bottles are not recommended for donation. “We will take glass, but if it breaks in transport, whatever was in there can leak on other foods and ruin donations,” Coldsmith said.

All items will be given to the Community Food Bank in Tucson for their emergency food box and childhood nutrition programs. Last year, the event was able to collect more than 2,800 pounds of food. This year, members of the Stuff the CatTran food drive have a goal of reaching 3,000 pounds by the end of the day. “We hope to improve in the results every year,” Altman said. “The nice thing about the Stuff the CatTran event is that people from the university, as well as the community, can help out. It’s very easy to drop food off.” Anyone wondering if the amount of food placed in the CatTran has the potential of breaking the bus, Parking and Transportation Services Director David Heineking assured that this would not be an issue. “You might think cans are pretty heavy, but they are not that much heavier than people on a bus,” Heineking said. “If we went over weight we would just bring another bus, and that certainly would be a good problem to have.”

AX continued from page 1 for students. He had connections not only in Arizona, but all over the country.” Palm said his sudden death has been difficult for colleagues to cope with. “We are all coming together to fill the huge void created by his death,” Palm said. “Some students have created a shrine on his office door. It’s very touching.” His memorial service will be held Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in Room 100 of the Social Sciences building. Organizers are asking contributions be made to his endowment fund in lieu of flowers.

ASUA to ratify election results By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

ASUA is expected to ratify the results of the general election at its Wednesday meeting. According to a memorandum by Associated Students of the University of Arizona Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti, “The results of any election will be certified on the final night of that election by the Elections

LIFE continued from page 1 Life Campus Challenge the past two years and is competing with Arizona’s other public universities to register the most students as organ donors for National Donate Life Month. Among all three universities, more than 700 people have registered in the last two years, said Nuvia Enriquez, the Donate Life Campus Challenge coordinator. On campus, Students for Organ Donation and AdCats are working together to urge other UA students to register before the final tally comes shortly after April. In August 2008, former UA student Ali Adelmann signed up to be a donor. She lived her life to give to others, Katie Adelmann said. Ali’s story is an example of how organ donation can save lives. On Sept. 18, 2009, Ali Adelmann was driving from Tucson to Phoenix for the evening to give a friend a ride and stop for a cheeseburger at the restaurant she worked at in high school, Katie Adelmann said. “She was just kind of like, ‘I don’t want you to drive alone. I’ll drive with you,’” Katie Adelmann said. Halfway through the drive, Ali Adelmann got into a one-car accident. After being taken to the hospital, Ali was placed on life-support and 17 days later, “that was when she opened her eyes for the first time,” she said. “I remember calling my friends and being like, ‘maybe she’s going to be OK, maybe one day we’ll hear her talk again,” Katie Adelmann said. Ali’s skull was removed to allow the brain to swell. When she was released from the hospital, she was moved to an acute care facility for brain injuries, she said. “She did say ‘mom’ on Mother’s Day, which was a really big deal,” Katie Adelmann said, but doctors at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix said Ali would never be able to fully vocalize, hear or even process words again, “which I had a really hard time believing and so did my family.” But when Ali was brought home, her family could tell that she was starting to decline. Soon after, Ali became sick with a respi-

ratory infection, Katie Adelmann said. We had to make difficult decisions in those weeks, she said. “When somebody has that quality of life and they tell you that they’re going to be vegetative for life, it’s hard to decide if that’s really fair.” On February 20, Ali Adelmann died, after her brain had swelled and punctured the hematoma, which bled into her brain, Katie Adelmann said. An average of 17 people die every day in the U.S. waiting for organs. Ali Adelmann’s choice to be an organ donor contributed to one of the 345 lives saved by organ transplants in the state last year, according to a press release from the Donor Network of Arizona. “Every person can save up to eight lives and heal up to 50 lives as a tissue donor,” Enriquez said. Charlotte Das, an intern at the Donor Network of Arizona, said she has spoken with families of donor recipients. She said that through organ donation, lives are altered in a positive way and the families are very grateful to their donors. The Donor Network of Arizona took a lot of tissue and the long bones in Ali’s legs and arms, Katie Adelmann said. “She was a really giving person,” she said, “that’s what she lived her life to do, was to give to others. She was just a gem.” In the United States, there are more than 110,000 people waiting for an organ transplant, 2,100 in Arizona, according to the press release. “When you pass away, you don’t need your organs,” said Lauren Beliveau, a senior studying molecular and cellular biology and president of Students for Organ Donation. “It’s just another way to give back to people and give other people a second chance at life or a better life.”

Japan’s ocean radiation hits 7.5 million times legal limit McClatchy Tribune TOKYO — The operator of Japan’s stricken Fukushima nuclear plant said Tuesday that it had found radioactive iodine at 7.5 million times the legal limit in a seawater sample taken near the facility, and government officials imposed a new health limit for radioactivity in fish. The reading of iodine-131 was recorded Saturday, Tokyo Electric Power Co. said. Another sample taken Monday found the level to be 5 million times the legal limit. The Monday samples also were found to contain radioactive cesium at 1.1 million times the legal limit. The exact source of the radiation was not immediately clear, though Tepco has said that highly contaminated water has been leaking from a pit near the No. 2 reactor. The utility initially believed that the leak was coming from a crack, but several attempts to seal the crack failed. On Tuesday the company said the leak instead might be coming from a faulty joint where the pit meets a duct, allowing radioactive water to seep into a layer of gravel underneath. The utility

said it would inject “liquid glass” into gravel in an effort to stop further leakage. Meanwhile, Tepco continued releasing what it described as water contaminated with low levels of radiation into the sea to make room in on-site storage tanks for more highly contaminated water. In all, the company said it planned to release 11,500 tons of the water, but by Tuesday morning it had released less than 25 percent of that amount. Although the government authorized the release of the 11,500 tons and has said that any radiation would be quickly diluted and dispersed in the ocean, fish with high readings of iodine are being found. On Monday, officials detected more than 4,000 bequerels of iodine-131 per kilogram in a type of fish called a sand lance caught less than three miles offshore of the town of Kita-Ibaraki. The young fish also contained 447 bequerels of cesium-137, which is considered more problematic than iodine-131 because it has a much longer half-life.

Italy recognizes rebel government of eastern Libya TRIPOLI, Libya — Italy formally recognized the rebel government of eastern Libya, dealing yet another blow to the beleaguered regime of Col. Moammar Gadhafi as it attempts to maneuver its way out of its worst crisis in four decades. A government spokesman declared late Monday that the Gadhafi regime would be willing to consider a referendum and other drastic reforms so long as Gadhafi retained a leadership role before the vote. The Libyan government has also reinvigorated diplomatic efforts, dispatching a diplomat to Greece, Turkey and Malta after failing to gain a decisive victory on the battlefield against rebels in the east or emerge from international isolation. “He led the revolution in Libya. He has symbolic significance for the people in Libya,” government spokesman Musa Ibrahim said. “How Libya is governed is a different matter. What kind of political system implemented in

the country is a different matter. This is negotiable. We can have anything — elections, referenda, anything. We could have any political changes, constitution, elections. But the leader has to lead this road.” Gadhafi’s violent suppression of protests spurred by recent revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt sparked a civil war that has divided Libya into a rebel-held east and a western region largely controlled by Gadhafi loyalists. The U.N. authorized a no-fly zone and airstrikes on Gadhafi’s forces as they were about to pounce on the de facto rebel capital of Benghazi last month. But after advancing against Gadhafi’s forces with the aid of airstrikes, the rebels were beaten back and are now locked in a stalemate at Port Brega. Rebel fighters continued to be kept at bay on the edge of the oil city that Gadhafi’s forces retook last week. Some rebel officials have acknowledged they are now trying to hold on to territory rather than mount another push on Gadhafi’s territory after being repelled last week.

Budget meeting at White House ends with no deal McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — An Oval Office meeting Tuesday morning yielded no deal on a final budget resolution, raising the specter of a government shutdown at week’s end. President Obama had called Tuesday’s meeting in an effort to finalize a deal that Democrats have said was within reach but Republicans had yet to coalesce around. Participants included Vice President Joe Biden; House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; and the chairmen of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, Rep. Hal Rogers, R-Ky., and Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii. In a statement released after leaving the White House, Boehner’s office said there was a “good discussion” but that Republicans would not accept a deal “that fails to make real spending cuts.” The most recent stopgap spending plan expires Friday night, and failure to pass a new bill by then would result in the first government shutdown since President Bill Clinton battled with congressional Republicans in the mid-1990s. House rules require any proposed legislation to be posted online 72 hours before a vote, which means a deal must come by day’s end. House Republicans say their preference is to move legislation funding the government for the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year, but they have offered yet another short-term extension — this time just one week — to avoid a shutdown. That plan would accelerate the rate of cuts for domestic programs that lawmakers have agreed to in past extensions — from $2 billion per week to $12 billion. Democrats are unlikely to support such a measure, however, and the White House was noncommittal Tuesday morning. “We believe that we can reach an agreement on funding for the full year if people sit around a table in a good-faith effort to approach this in a

SHELTON continued from page 1 I think our proposal is a good one,” Shelton said. “Maybe it’s more a balance of shared pain, making cuts like this, but we’re doing so and not harming our ability to support students.” Shelton said he relies predominantly on student government leaders to speak for the student body. Although he acknowledged that few students vote for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona or the Graduate and Professional Student Council, he said that every student president he had ever dealt with “worked hard to get input from all the students.” The UA could see admitting more out-of-state students in the future, Shelton said, particularly due to a recent decision by the regents to raise the cap on the number of non-resident students from 30 percent to 40 percent of total student population. Shelton said he would be “shocked” if the UA ever reached

reasonable way,” press secretary Jay Carney told reporters before the meeting. “Our position remains that it is not good for the economy” to pass temporary measures, he added. Democrats say there is agreement on the level of cuts a final deal would include — $33 billion — and that the sticking point was how to achieve that amount, from cuts to either discretionary or mandatory programs. Boehner disagreed. “Thirty-three billion in cuts is not enough, particularly when it is achieved in large part through budget gimmicks,” his office said in the statement.

that 40 percent threshold but that it was important to have a diversity of student experiences and backgrounds. One of the repeatedly stated goals of the regents this year has been to differentiate the missions of all three Arizona universities in order to make the system more efficient. In Shelton’s mind, this means limiting enrollment growth and continuing investments in research and development. “Growing the student base cuts both ways,” Shelton said. “I think the UA can have a reasonably sized enrollment and be fiscally stable. But equating growth with financial stability is outdated.” Under the UA’s current fiveyear strategic plan, undergraduate enrollment will increase to 35,840 by the 2016 fiscal year, 18 percent more than in 2009. Shelton also said he didn’t necessarily support legislative efforts to increase the number of Arizona institutions offering four-year degrees, such as a bill that would have set up the Arizona State University

Polytechnic campus as its own university, and asked where Arizona would find the resources to build or finance new institutions. “There’s no doubt that the higher education system is under-built in Arizona for the population we have,” Shelton said. Shelton said that Arizona’s community colleges can offer their own independent fouryear degrees, so long as the universities don’t offer the same path, but “so far none of them have elected to do that.” On privatization, Shelton said it was a “buzz word” that was being considered, but any program or college privatization would be years down the road. He did say that he was focused on maintaining the quality of a UA degree “above all else.” “I want it to be that when you go up and meet somebody new in your business or your neighborhood and say you got your degree from the UA, they say, ‘Oh wow, that’s a great school,’” Shelton said. “That’s what you want to hear.”

Budget needs decisive leadership, action Tanner Weigel

T

Arizona Daily Wildcat

here really can never be any peace up on Capitol Hill. Once again, a budget deadline looms in Congress. Because our government has been funded by temporarily continuing resolutions for some time, it can be quite frustrating, no matter which side of the budget debate you fall. Assuming that the government is still functioning by time this column runs, it will be due to one more stop-gap measure with minor cuts attached. Perhaps the Republicans are banking on receiving small cuts every so often as part of a compromise with the Democrats. Perhaps they think that $3 billion at a time will eventually add up to constitute much larger spending reduction. Perhaps they have some secret plan, but, really, they just seem to be lacking in vision and bold action. Here are some realities: Republicans gained a large mandate last November, and yet they cannot push for drastic cuts because Sen. Harry Reid still reigns as majority leader in the Senate. But the Democrats know that continued spending holds no appeal with the majority of the American public, and so they allow Republicans small cuts. Reid knows that his party still holds enough power that any government shutdown would, to some degree, be blamed on Democrats. Both parties appear to be holding out on one another, waiting for the other to blink. Political scheming and plotting leaps to the forefront, while substantive policy is pushed to the back. If the Republicans were truly serious about the issue, the continuing resolutions would stop. They would present their cuts and send the ball to the Senate’s court. When Democrats call foul, blame the extremists in the Tea Party and demand compromise, the Republicans would, politely but resolutely, refuse. Call it extremist. Call it irresponsible. Call it what you will. But this is really the type of firm dedication that is needed right now. When the United States has a $14 trillion debt, it is well past time to draw a line in the sand and stand up for fiscal responsibility. Now, Reid, I understand that you and many within your caucus love to spend money. Heck, many in the GOP love it, too (the last eight years are a testament to that). You say there is room for compromise, and yet you cry foul when the scalpel is applied to any, and I mean any, part of the budget. And then you make comments like this: “I will not support tinkering with Social Security. It is not an emergency.” Explaining the falsehoods in that last statement alone would take up a whole additional column. Needless to say, various entitlements at the state and national level, and the liabilities associated with them, have the potential to drown this country. So we are basically to the point where Democrats are sticking their heads in the sand and Republicans are balking at the idea of leading. This is why a government shutdown, while unlikely due to the aforementioned Congressional dynamic, is something that might actually be a blessing in disguise. An inconvenience? Most certainly. But then again, if and when this country collapses under the weight of its own fiscal negligence, it will be an even bigger inconvenience. With a temporary shutdown, politicians might then see the need to get the country’s fiscal house in order. It doesn’t much matter how the following days unfold, for the budget battles won’t end any time in the near future. But if Republicans were smart, they would call the Democratic bluff. They would present their $100 billion in cuts and go with it. And then, they would propose even larger cuts. So if you Republicans want to retain credibility with those who swept you into power (no, Reid, it was not just those radical Tea Partiers who made it to the ballot box), keep chopping away at fiscal insanity. Or you can continue to waver and go with the “safe” stop-gap measures. With that approach, it will only take about 4,600 more of those continuing resolutions (assuming cuts in the range of $3 billion a pop) in order to gain control of this country’s debt problem. Choose wisely. Otherwise you soon may be known as “the party that likes government slightly less than the Democrats.” — Tanner Weigel is a sophomore studying Spanish and history.

MAILBAG April Fools’ met with mixed reception

Let me first begin by saying I read your April 1 edition of the Wildcat and I found it very clever and humorous, with the exception of your “Prideful Alliance” segment. Today, I read your editorial note regarding the matter, and was really hoping you would have addressed that your story was rather uncouth. Instead, you indicated the ordeal was merely a misunderstanding, which does not sit right with me. Referring to the story’s reception as a misunderstanding blatantly mocks the intelligence of your readers, while adding unneeded sarcastic undertones. It saddens me that you, the editor, could not be professional by simply acknowledging it was written in poor taste. As a trusted source of news on campus, I feel it is your obligation to step up and do the right thing by actually addressing the issue instead of tiptoeing around it. Not only did you neglect to publish any of the letters you claimed to have received regarding this story, you went about your official response in the wrong manner. I feel personally insulted that you would think I misunderstood your tasteless article. I read the Wildcat daily as a Pima transfer student slated to attend the university in the fall. I have always had great respect for the Daily Wildcat; however, I can assure you I am less likely

to read your publication in the future. — Greg Daniels Pre-physiology sophomore

LGBTQ community deserves sensitivity, respect

My name is Christopher Uhrig and I wanted to bring up an issue about the recent publication on April Fools’ Day. I am Director of Social Justice for Hopi-Graham/Greenlee Hall council, a member of Advocates Coming Together and also a member of the LGBTQ community and Pride Alliance. I have met with LGBTQ Affairs Program Director Jennifer Hoefle and Social Justice Education Coordinator Hannah Lozon to talk about this and we agreed that I need to write to you directly. I have participated in many Pride Alliance activities and also identify as openly bisexual. I recently went through Safe Zone Training, an extensive session, so I am an ally and someone that creates a safe space for members of the LGBTQ community. I am specifically talking about the article titled “Fabulous Takeover. “ Especially with Safe Zone training that had just happened, I don’t feel as if that article was appropriate. It calls Pride Alliance the “Prideful Alliance,” a simple joke as a name has a great effect on people. Sometimes Pride Alliance is all that a student has to feel safe, and when it is attacked as it such was, it takes away

the promised security. The article also makes fun of the LGBTQ acronym and replaces it with LGTQAAA5Q(upside down question mark)TL. This acronym has gone through many changes and is still under revision but adding those nonsensical numbers and symbols to an extremely powerful symbol was simply unnecessary. Implements of many stereotypical remarks and ideas were placed on the entire LGBTQ community. Things such as rainbow colors and glitter remarks were made. As a social justice advocate and member of the LGBTQ community, I can vouch for one person only and that is myself; no one is allowed to speak for an entire group. It is unethical to place a stereotype on an entire population because, as we both know, that is not correct. Despite popular belief, a person does not have to be LGBTQ to like rainbows and glitter, have idols such as Cher, and say things like “gurl.” Again, this is extremely rude and a stab at the LGBTQ community. I don’t feel that the Daily Wildcat has the right to make fun of a group that the UA clearly supports. Articles such as this should not be able to go out the student body because this implies that, as students of this university, we are allowing others to put down a group of individuals. — Christopher Uhrig Pride Alliance member

Facebook users not as sexy and cool as you’d think Caroline Nachazel

ollege students have mastered the art of scrolling through their Facebook News Feed faster than Busta Rhymes can utter the word “status.” It is almost sick how anxious we feel at the sight of the little red box with a double-digit number or a particular name under the “Friends Online” list. In fact, it is becoming a huge problem. The anxious, butterflies-in-thestomach, blood rush-to-the-head feeling some people experience from Facebook has turned into an up-and-coming epidemic: Facebook depression. The desperate attempts of some FB users to make their lives seem marvelous are actually bringing people down. A Stanford University researcher examined people’s reactions after looking at other people’s attractive photos and cheerful status updates, and noticed that people felt unhappier after doing so. By overestimating how happy other people are, they felt

unhappier about their own lives. The study, which didn’t explicitly examine Facebook but would apply to social networking if its conclusions were accurate, found that the two groups most vulnerable to this are younger teen girls and housewives, but UA students need to be aware. Word of advice, if you are single, staring at your dream significant other’s “in a relationship” status will make you extremely prone to this diagnosis. There is another side to this problem though: the instigators. Yeah, people use their small ounce of publicity via statuses and photo albums to make their lives seem as crazy, sexy and cool as possible. Word of advice, if you are actually crazy, sexy or cool, people are not going to be waiting for your next post, they will actually be hanging out with you. Thankfully, the majority of the UA student body has the freedom to do as it pleases, seeing as (most of us)

live without curfews and rules. This eliminates the many Friday and Saturday nights we used to spend scrolling up and down through our News Feed while grounded in high school. Being the extremely mature adolescent I now am, I can admit to being grounded several weekends, including junior year prom, when I may have been depressed by Facebook. “Hummer limo to tha Ritz!” was undeniably awful reading material for a hormonal teen stuck at home during prom weekend. Facebook may be the only forum of expression some people have, but it should not be a place to deal with psychological tribulations. I know there’s nothing more satisfying than posting a status that you know will make your ex experience a hernia, but people should refrain from turning their frown upside down with a Prozac just because of dramatic posts. The next time you are about to update the 800-1000 people who have access to your personal life, consider the vulnerable lurkers you may be putting at risk for Facebook depression. For the sake of humanity, we should be modest in how amazing we portray our lives to be. — Caroline Nachazel is a sophomore studying journalism and communication.

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Six pack gets the boot from Zendejas

A non-UA affiliated man snuck five female UA students into Zendejas #13 restaurant. All six were later arrested for minor in possession and asked to leave the premises at 2 a.m., on April 1. A University of Arizona Police Department officer on patrol around 1:30 a.m. saw the large group of women exit a taxi near the restaurant. They walked down a dark alley and entered a side door of the building. At the time, it appeared that the restaurant was closed because there were no interior or exterior lights on. While checking the building, the officer did not observe anyone inside. The business door was locked, but the kitchen entry door was unlocked. The officer called out from the kitchen entry door and the man came out of the business entrance. He would not speak to his relationship with the business, if he had keys or how many people were inside. The officer then asked him to call everyone outside, and the five females came out of the back of the restaurant. The officer double checked the interior for anyone else and found no signs of criminal activity. Using the man’s phone, the officer spoke with the restaurant owner. The owner said that he knew the man but confirmed no one should be in the building, though the side door was left open. He then requested that all six leave the building. All six were found to have symptoms of intoxication and were cited and released for minor in possession.

Two fighting over girl wind up with MIP

Two men squabbling over a woman became physical and were cited for minor in possession on April 1 at 2:24 a.m. The men, arguing on the corner of First Street and Warren Avenue, were approached by a UAPD officer and told to sit on the curb. The two said that they had been at a party flirting with the same girl and got into an argument, but did not actually fight each other and were not injured. When questioned about what they had to drink that night, they both denied consuming any alcohol. They submitted to a portable Breathalyzer test but did not blow properly, causing the test to yield no result. During the tests, the officer could see symptoms of alcohol consumption and both smelled strongly of alcohol. After the test, one of the men, a UA student, became argumentative and insisted several times that officers should go inside the Delta Chi fraternity house and arrest the “thousands” of underage drinkers inside. The student said that he was a DJ at the house and said that he had drank alcohol before, but had none that night. When the officer asked why he smelled of alcohol, the student said that there were numerous kegs inside the house and that’s why he smelled. Both were arrested for minor in possession, and, because he would not sign the citation saying that he was only visiting so he could not attend court, the non-UA affiliated male was transported and booked into Pima County Jail.

Busted for boasting a BB

A UA Residence Life employee reported several shots from a BB gun to UAPD on April 1. At 5:33 p.m., a UAPD officer responded to the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage , where the employee heard the shots fired. The officer, walking up the southeast stairwell on the third level, heard several shots that were consistent with a BB gun but did not hear any impact noise. While on the fourth level, the gun was discharged several times again and the officer could discern several voices. On the fifth level, the officer saw two boys and a girl walking toward the northwest part of the structure. The officer was able to see that their hands were empty. With his hand on his handgun — in an unsnapped holster — the officer called for them to sit down, to which all three immediately complied. The officer then asked them where the BB gun was and the girl, looking at one of the boys, said, “Just tell him where it is.” He slowly withdrew a black gun from his backpack and threw it on the ground. “It’s just a BB gun,” he said. During interviews with police, the group said they were spending their free time on top of the garage. A boy said that he was attempting to replace a CO2 cartridge in his BB gun and discharged it once at the ground in order to ensure there were no more pellets in the gun. UAPD officers confiscated the gun, which was a gift from the boy’s father, because the campus weapons policy does not allow BB guns on campus. The juveniles’ parents were contacted and they were released into their guardian’s custody.

Writing in the ‘Dark’

Fiction Professor Manuel Muñoz explores his hometown, ‘Psycho’ in debut novel By Remy Albillar ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

I

Q

: You’ve published two collections of short stories. What different challenges do you face, in terms of character development and pacing, when writing in a longer format? : It’s a scary proposition, because you have to get to the end of a draft before you know if you’ve taken any good steps. With a story you’ve got 20 pages; you know the scope. With a novel you could be on page 200 and be like “I need to do this,” that could take another 150 pages. I went through 5 drafts of this novel. I think I’m a short story writer by nature. The idea of sticking with a set of characters and circumstances for 5 years? It’s kinda nutty.

n his debut novel, “What You See in the Dark,” assistant professor of creative writing Manuel Muñoz depicts the tragic death of a young woman against the backdrop of Alfred Hitchcock’s most iconic murder scene. The doomed last days of the young singer Teresa, the anguish of a small-town waitress named Arlene and the passion of “the Actress” collide with astounding narrative force. Powerful characterization propels the overlapping stories of three women across pages that fly by fast enough to leave you spellbound. Like Hitchcock before him, Muñoz knows a thing or two about gripping scenes.

A

Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat Manuel Muñoz, an assistant professor of creative writing, is on a leave of absence to concentrate on his writing. His debut novel, “What You See in the Dark,” aligns a small-town murder with location scouting for Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho.”

Q A

: In an interview about the novel, you mentioned “something special occurs when we can apply our experience to art in order to understand it.” How did you apply your experience living in the Central Valley to inform and understand the art you were setting there? : I want to get to a point where re-looking at a place eventually starts to show you facets you didn’t see before. I had to think a lot about what the Valley might have looked like in the ‘50s. What’s interesting about the place where I grew up, there are places from my childhood in the ‘70s and ‘80s that were clearly remnants from the ‘50s because things were developing so slowly. I didn’t have to use pictures or movies to find out what a Rexall drug store looked like. I had one in my town.

Q A

: Included in the title, the sublime of “darkness” is an element carried throughout the novel. What inspired you to craft a story around this theme? : If I stick to movies, the whole experience of stepping into a dark room in order to watch a movie is like going into your own mind to experience a book. It’s only you reading it, in silence. I don’t know why, but there’s something quite special like that and trying to link what that means. It sort of begs the question of whether or not a book fails you or you fail the book. Do you have the capacity to imagine what the book is suggesting? Versus a film where you have a static image; in a way, you can’t contest it. With a book, your comprehension comes into play.

Q

: What sort of research did you do when developing “the Actress” and “the Director”? Were any of those quotes actual quotes from Alfred Hitchcock? : That’s all imagined. In the original drafts he was doing things as opposed to what I think serves in this novel as “a way to think about film.” I feel like what he says could possibly be true, as evidenced by watching his films. As far as research goes, I rewatched a lot of his films and got his style. With Hitchcock I go back on my undergraduate days, I think my senior year in 1994, where I watched 34 of his films. We watched almost all of them.

New Buffalo Exchange opening downtown By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT By the end of the month, the Tucsonfounded Buffalo Exchange clothing/thrift store will open its third store in the city in the heart of downtown. East of Sixth Avenue, the new Buffalo Exchange at 250 E. Congress St. used to be a famed downtown café. Its hardwood floors were repurposed from McKale Center. The 100-year-old brick walls and high-tin ceilings were in mid-renovation by the space’s previous owner before Kerstin Block decided to get into the mix. It’s all a part of what Tucson is about. “Every Buffalo Exchange takes on a local feel, and the choice (was) to be a part of what is happening in downtown,” said Block, owner of the Buffalo Exchange chain. “Just to be in that environment is going to be great.” It took about eight months to remodel the space, leaving unpainted brick walls to accompany five dressing rooms and two of the Exchange’s famed buy counters, at which customers can come in and sell their old clothes for cash or trade. Block said this especially appeals to a student demographic. “Students like it because they can get

really nice clothes for really inexpensive money,” she said, “and they can sell their things back for trade. We see ourselves on every level as a fashion retailer.” A store focused on sold and traded local apparel, the new Exchange will feature recycled items from each of the 15 states in which the franchise operates. Block said that the downtown section of Tucson was ideal to meet the demographic of people who frequent her stores. “Our customers will come to us downtown,” she said. “We try to locate our stores where we think our customers are. … People probably wouldn’t come to visit us over on Oracle. The look in Saddlebrook (Ariz.) would be much different.” Hours for the new location have not yet been set, but will be announced soon. “We’re very excited to open,” Block said.

The 100-year-old brick walls that line the interior of the newest Buffalo Exchange location will soon be teeming with thrifty fashion. The store will open at 250 E. Congress St. later this month.

FAST FACTS ABOUT BUFFALO EXCHANGE

• The store makes $64.4 million in revenue yearly. • Buffalo Exchange owns 42 stores in 15 states, but the first opened in Tucson. • Buffalo Exchange was voted Best Resale/Vintage Clothing store in the Tucson Weekly’s Best of Tucson 2010. • With its Tokens for Bags program, the Exchange raised close to $380,000 for local nonprofits and saved 7.6 million bags.

Q& A

‘Peep Culture’

Tom Latchford as Shem in “Man Made Men”

Synthetic humans, rabbis face off in filmmaker’s vision By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Alex Fegan decided to tackle the big questions about religion and science in his first feature film, “Man Made Men.” “One day, I just said, ‘You know what, I’m going to make this film. If I don’t do it now, I’ll never do it,’” said Fegan, who worked as a corporate lawyer in Dublin, Ireland, for four years. In “Man Made Men,” Irish scientist Benjamin Ezekiel is attempting to create life from inorganic material in an effort to prove that God does not exist. I talked with Fegan over the phone after he returned from a tour of the UA’s Center for Creative Photography on Friday. He had just flown in from Ireland to appear at the screening of “Man Made Men,” which made its U.S. debut at The Screening Room, 127 E. Congress St., last Saturday as part of the 2011 Arizona International Film Festival.

Can you briefly describe the film?

It’s about an Irish scientist, Benjamin Ezekiel, who tries to make life forms from lifeless materials, and then watch them grow and evolve inside a sealed chamber in his lab. Meanwhile, an old reclusive man hears about the experiment and he believes it will cause the end of the world. So he sends three rabbis to Ireland to try and stop the experiment. Then the rabbis realize that Benjamin is being protected by powerful forces who want to see the experiment completed.

Where did the idea for this film come from?

It was inspired by two American scientists, one was called Stanley Miller, who in 1953 tried to make life from lifeless materials. He failed. But in May 2010, a scientist called Craig Venter (founder, chairman and president of the J. Craig Venter Institute), he actually claimed that he was the first scientist to make life from lifeless materials. So I

was looking at these guys and for some reason, I had this idea that the day that man makes life, shortly afterwards it would lead to the end of life for man. So there would be something cyclical about the idea that when man makes life, it would result in the end of life. It’s kind of like the final step in our evolution. It would be almost when we become God, that’s it. It would lead to the end.

Is the film comical or serious?

It’s serious. The film looks at the philosophical consequences of man playing God. The idea was that we’re moving forward technologically, but sometimes we don’t think about what it actually means when we achieve certain things, such as the creation of a synthetic genome or the creation of a synthetic organism. What does that actually mean for us? What does that say about us as humans? Who made us? Could they be a god or are they just a more advanced human doing something similar to what we’re doing? So it’s a serious film, I suppose. There are some funny bits though.

How long did it take to complete this?

It took about three years, from when I started writing the script to when we finished editing, mainly because we were working full-time and there’s also stopmotion animation in it as well, which takes a lot of time.

I saw that you had an incredibly low budget for “Man Made Men.”

Yeah. The entire budget that we spent on it was about 4,000 euro (about US $5,700).

What were some of the biggest hurdles in making this film?

I think the biggest challenge that we had was just deciding to start. Then once that happened, I think things started to fall into place. People started getting on board and wanting to help out. We managed to

Coming this week at the AIFF...

get a big choir to do the soundtrack with us, and they worked for nothing. All the cast helped us out and gave their time up for the cause. Probably the biggest hurdle other than just getting started was filming inside certain locations. We filmed inside Ireland’s main court building, the Four Courts in Dublin, and not even big films can film in there. But with my legal background, I was able to persuade them to let us film in there for a day. So we shot a court scene inside that building. (Laughs). It’s a bit of a challenge.

How have people reacted to the scientific and the religious elements in ‘Man Made Men’? The idea was to look at that conflict between science and religion, but then to see that actually the two of them are more intertwined and interrelated than most people realize. In Ireland, the general reaction, I would say, has been one of real interest. When we started, I was thinking that it would be quite controversial, because the scientist, in his aim to make life from lifeless materials, he’s trying also to prove that God doesn’t exist. But people just seem to go, “Oh, that’s interesting.” They look at us not necessarily as an argument that’s being put forward, but just as a narrative that is taken place in the story. So it’s more of interest than controversy or outrage.

Sally Blake, Canada, 59 min. Writer and social commentator Hal Niedzviecki agreed to participate in a documentary that examines the effects the Internet, technology and social media have had on our social lives and attitudes toward privacy. It wasn’t enough for Niedzviecki to just provide intelligent commentary, but he also had to “livecast” himself to the world in order to understand why anyone — and seemingly everyone — would want to subject his or her so-called life to the constant gaze of a camera. That’s not the most outrageous — and perhaps banal — part of “Peep Culture.” The documentary takes off when Niedzviecki interviews people who want to become a “brand,” if they haven’t already done so. He finds that this desire for fame or notoriety without high regard for personal privacy is not limited to those who grew up with the Internet. Niedzviecki even discovers a boot camp for reality television hopefuls — located near Los Angeles, of course — where participants are taught how to find “the character that they already are” and how to make it work for TV. At one point in “Peep Culture,” Niedzviecki asks, “How am I going to get you to buy more of me?” That is either one of the scariest, or most exciting, questions any of us will hear in our lifetime. Showing at The Screening Room, 127 E. Congress St., on April 13 at 8 p.m. with “Grandpa’s Wet Dream.” — Steven Kwan

‘Night of Fish’

Hiroshi Toda, Japan, 55 minutes. Director Hiroshi Toda returns to the festival this year with his latest feature film, “Night of Fish.” Mr. and Mrs. Sasaki are an elderly couple who get by with their work making leather coasters. While taking a night stroll, Mr. Sasaki comes across an old man who has been lying on the street, seemingly homeless and destitute. He brings the man home and offers him food and shelter, even though Mrs. Sasaki is suspicious of the man’s motives a nd circumstances. Like many other great Japanese directors, Toda creates “Night of Fish” with a cast of returning actors.

Do you have any advice for other aspiring filmmakers?

Yeah. Just do it, don’t think about it. Don’t listen to naysayers because all of the technology is available now. If you have a story that you want to tell, it’s very, very straightforward to get it done. The editing equipment is readily available. Everything’s so affordable, so there are no excuses anymore. It’s just about persevering and then getting it out and not to worry too much.

Broadway shows hit Tucson’s boards COMING THIS YEAR:

By Brandon Specktor Arizona Daily Wildcat

WEST SIDE STORY

Here’s a lesson in theater arithmetic: One spoonful of sugar + one alley full of sharks + one forest full of fairytale misfits = one enchanting year of programming (or one wild drug trip). Last week Broadway in Tucson announced its 2011-2012 lineup, and the program is bloated with big names that transcend generations. It’s also got a modest serving of hair metal, which transcends health codes about how many chemicals a man can pour on his head. Season ticket packages cost between $66 - $355 depending how many shows you want to see and whether or not you care about good seats. As a new policy this year, students will be able to buy discounted seats in the “C” and “D” section for all performances. Visit broadwayintucson.com for a seating chart of the theater, and to buy tickets.

September 20-25, 2011 Tucson Music Hall While reading “Romeo and Juliet” in sophomore English lectures, who among us didn’t think, “This is fine, but it would be a lot cooler if it was set in a 1950’s New York slum”? This tale of love, hate and ethnicallyopposed gangs with suspicious choreography skills has dazzled Broadway for more than 50 years, and now it’s coming to dazzle Tucson. The soundtrack by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim, including the oftreferenced “Maria,” “I Feel Pretty” and “America,” should speak (or sing) for itself.

SHREK THE MUSICAL

October 18-23, 2011 Tucson Music Hall Hey kids, if you haven’t had enough Shrek in the form of four feature films (the first one came out 10 years ago, btw), 20 video games (seriously, look it up), theme park rides and fast food tie-ins, you’re in luck! “Shrek the Musical” is on its way. Featuring 19 original songs, lush scenery and all your favorite characters from the original film, this production is an ogre-lover ’s dream.

ROCK OF AGES

March 13-18, 2012 Tucson Music Hall While the kids are Far, Far Away, the parents can “Cum on (and) Feel the Noize.”

Photo courtesty of gazette.com

Rock of Ages takes place in late-’80s L.A., and is loaded with enough hairspray and explosive power ballads to create a fire hazard. Enjoy hits from Poison, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Whitesnake and more. Definitely check it out if you find yourself with “Too Much Time on (your) Hands.”

IN THE HEIGHTS

April 24-29, 2012 Tucson Music Hall Like “West Side Story,” this Tony Award-winning musical examines immigrant culture in New York. Unlike “West Side Story,” gangs are replaced with coffee shops, and violent revenge replaced with family values.

This acclaimed crowd-pleaser that “carries the rhythm of three generations of music,” according to the official website, is sure to be breezy family fare.

MARY POPPINS

May 15-20, 2012 Tucson Music Hall Life sucks for the Banks children until a magical governess floats into their foggy London flat via stealth umbrella. We’ve all been there. Enjoy this new vision of the 1964 Disney classic, featuring all the songs you love (“Step in Time,” for the win) and original choreography. If the show isn’t practically perfect in every way, there’s always VHS.

‘Source Code’ needs decryption By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Inception” meets “Groundhog Day” in the new action thriller, “Source Code.” Except that it lacks the mind-blowing concepts of “Inception,” and it’s not nearly as funny as “Groundhog Day.” Instead, “Source Code” is lost somewhere in between the two, which gets weird and confusing. Fast. The film follows Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal), a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan who inexplicably wakes up in another man’s body. Oh, and he’s aboard a train that’s about to blow up. Turns out, he’s part of an experimental military computer program called the Source Code (hey, there’s the title!). There’s a bomb on the train, and the government has sent Stevens into the past to find out who planted it. Let the high

stakes game of “Clue” begin. As the film progresses, we uncover an underdeveloped plotline about Stevens’ personal life, and he enters into a halfhearted romance with predictable pretty-girl Christina (Michelle Monaghan). All the while, we learn more about the Source Code computer. Scientists tell Stevens that this isn’t time

fringe science that’s poorly explained. The writers toss around a couple of buzz words like “quantum physics” and “parabolic calculus,” and that’s supposed to be enough to make the Source Code computer seem plausible. By the time the movie ends, the mechanics of the whole thing leave more unaddressed questions than hastily-supplied answers. Photo courtesy of filmdrift.com But the film’s writing travel, so he can’t save the people is lacking even beyond on board the train. Instead, they’ve the cryptic pseudo science. Sexy created a parallel universe which as he is, not even Jake Gyllenhaal enables Stevens to relive the last can make the line, “maybe I’ll eight minutes of someone else’s order you a pizza next time” life using some strange “shadow” sound like the most vindictive effect of their memories. comeback ever. And when he Through this breed of technoheroically claims that he’s about magic, “Source Code” is more to “save the world,” it’s hard not sci-fi than anything else. to cringe at the corniness. Unfortunately, it depends on Still, “Source Code” has some

redeeming qualities. The film inevitably repeats the same eight minutes over and over again, but it manages to vary these scenes and intersperse them with other plotlines to maintain viewer interest. “Source Code” doesn’t fail as an action movie either. The special effects are impressive, the action is exciting and Gyllenhaal’s acting is good, as usual. So, “Source Code” doesn’t suck. But if you’re looking for the next brain-bender, this isn’t it. “Source Code” is an interesting movie that had a lot of potential, but falls short. You better hope you never find yourself doomed to watch eight minutes of this film over and over for eternity.

‘Don Giovanni’ brings sexy back (to the opera) By Kellie Mejdrich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Who said opera wasn’t sexy? Legendary lover Don Juan gets an Italian makeover in Mozart’s classic opera “Don Giovanni ,” the UA school of music’s latest opera production , which is set to play this weekend. The opera follows the last moments of the life of Don Giovanni, commonly known as Don Juan, whose sexual conquests rank in the thousands. But after a life of decadence, he finally can’t get his way — and falls into the pits of hell. Sound dramatic? That’s the operatic style, and this one is “one of the most famous operas of all time,” said professor Charles Roe, director of the production and the University of Arizona Opera . “It’s some beautiful music.

Find the interview ensemble that suits you best

We’re nearing the end of spring, which means we’re quickly approaching summer, which means it’s time to figure out what to do once we survive finals week. Some students will return to their aprons at a restaurant in their hometown, while others will prepare for hours and hours of summer school. For some students, April means interviews — real ones in a conference room for an internship or (heaven forbid!) a real job. Imagine it: A brigade of human resources personnel grills you about how you’ve proven yourself as a

leader just weeks after you danced on a bar in Mexico during spring break. Not exactly the easiest task in the world. Now, more than ever, how you present yourself is just as important as your resume. From the moment you check in, you’ll be watched and judged on how you act and what you’re wearing. Unless you’ve been told or forced through the business college, sometimes it’s hard to know what constitutes as “heck yes” or “hell no” when it comes to what to wear for an interview. Feeling confident in an outfit means you can worry about your intellectual assets rather than your physical ones.

BOYS

Men are a lot luckier in this respect. From cocktail parties to professional interviews, what you gentlemen have to wear is essentially the same. Generally suits are a staple for more formal interviews. While fitted suits from Express and J. Crew are much more youthful and fashionable than those from Men’s Wearhouse or Dillard’s, they tend to be pricier. Either way, a nice outfit is an investment you’ll wear for years.

DO:

Pay attention to your dress shoes. It’s easy to get shoes dusty in Tucson, so spend some quality time with the shoeshine. Have a belt color that matches your shoes. Black shoes and a brown belt are a no-go. Wear white or light colored button ups. Visit a tailor. Even with a relatively cheap suit, a nice fit looks like a million bucks. Otherwise, you’ll look like a little boy wearing your dad’s clothes.

DON’T:

Don white socks. Period. Never, ever, ever. Just no. Same for ankle socks. Buy obnoxious suit colors. While black, navy and even dark gray are popular, brown and white suits are not. Also, no obvious pinstripes. You’re a student, not a gangsta. Go crazy on the tie front — no greens or purples. Save the Miller Lite, light-up or crazy colored ties for costume parties. Forget the iron. It’s not the plague. YouTube it.

GIRLS

When it comes to what to wear for interviews, picking out an outfit as a woman is a much more daunting prospect. Should you wear a silky blouse or a button-up? What about wearing a jacket as opposed to a long-sleeve shirt? And then there’s always the pantsuit vs. skirt suit debate. From Marie Claire to doctorate theses, the issue has been highly debated in terms of how it affects your interviewer. Even now, it’s hard to prove that sexism is not still an issue when it comes to white-collar jobs and interviews. Skirt suits are

more traditional and undoubtedly more feminine than their legged counterpart. Most experts suggest wearing a skirt suit to stay on the safe side for the first interview, though that call is really up to you. Thankfully, with so many different options, it’s hard to really go wrong as long as you avoid the big no-nos. There’s a lot more that you can do right than wrong for that first meeting. More choices mean more places to buy different pieces — New York & Company, Express, Banana Republic … the list goes on and on. Again, look at where you’re interviewing or people currently working there to figure out what outfit combination will work the best for you.

how you present yourself. You’d be amazed how many people come in for interviews with poor posture and limp handshakes. Or just plain late. All the better for you. Every interview is different, as is the company and student interviewing for the position. In the end, what you wear is only a small part of how much you’ll rock the meeting. If you look good, you’ll feel good, and your interview will be great. Happy hunting!

DO:

Wear a solid button-up blouse. No plaid, no polka dots, no horizontal stripes. Pick a color that’s not too flashy, but complements your skin and hair color. Style your hair out of your face. So trim up those fringe bangs and bust out the bobby pins. Wear makeup. Just not too much. You want to look like neither a painted clown nor a cavewoman.

DON’T:

Be too sexy. While it’s fine in this day and age to accentuate your curves, you want interviewers to be engrossed by your intelligence and wit, not your cleavage. Similar to the advice above, avoid towering, platformed, eff-me heels at all cost. You have your dancing shoes. Great. Just don’t wear them to an interview. Wear perfume. When you sweat (which you will), it’ll smell as overwhelming as a bathroom during high school prom. Throw on jewelry that clinks and clanks. Noise = distraction.

EVERYONE

For both men and women, you have to dress for the industry that you’re interviewing for. Clearly, a law office means a professional suit. However, you might just get away with a doublebreasted jacket or a floral pencil skirt if your dream job is in fashion or advertising. Location also means a lot. Tucson is not nearly as formal as New York City. Do the research or just ask what to wear when scheduling the interview. What you wear should reflect and respect the occasion. Always dress just a bit more formal than that company’s dress code. For example, if T-shirts and jeans are the norm, slacks or a skirt and a long-sleeved button-down shirt. If they’re in slacks and button-down shirts, wear a suit. If you walk into a room full of fellow interviewees decked out in Armani, don’t give up. In the end, it’s all about

UA outreach participant What attracts you to the UA? Why are you going to be a student here? It’s the best. Where else am I going to go? ASU? (laughs) That is a joke. Haven’t you heard, UA is combining with ASU? No. You are lying. If that happened I would move out of this country, not even out of the state, just out of the country. I couldn’t deal. OK, and what is with the hat? Big birthday? Sort of … Is it your birthday or not? It’s a one-sided question … No. To be honest, I just love attention and this hat gets a lot of it. Fair enough. What is the furthest you’ve gone for a bit of attention? I was one of the kids in the lunchroom that started food fights. So you were the one that made me cut the gum out of my hair? I never put gum in girls’ hair. Peanut butter works way better. Have you ever been bullied? I don’t think people would even think of messing with me. I wear weird things all the time and people do not want to go there.

The Daily Wildcat and UA Career Services are teaming up to provide Career assistance to our Andrew dynamic UA readership Friedman was

undaunted when he did not get the Microsoft internship his first go round. “After I quickly decided it was something I wanted to go after, I was able to use the Career Services website to submit a resume and cover letter to apply for an interview. As it turns out, I did this two different times. At the end of my freshman year I had one interview and that was all she wrote…at the time. I had another opportunity in the fall of the following year, and with more experience, both interviewing and academic, I applied online for another interview, was accepted and later successfully advanced to the final on-campus interview, after which I was offered a summer internship.” For Andrew’s complete success story please go to www.career. arizona.edu, click on “News” for the articles archives and then filter (at the bottom of the page) for Success Stories.

Consistently inconsistent

Junior Katie Matusik was one of Arizona’s strongest performers this season. She is one of the many Wildcats returning next season, in which Matusik said they “are going to make Nationals.�

Head coach Bill Ryden gives season a ‘B’

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat This season was full of ups and downs for the Arizona gymnastics team, as they struggled to find consistency each meet. The Wildcats’ season came to an end last weekend as they placed fifth in the NCAA Regional Championships. They finished the season ranked No. 20 in the country. “This was a rough year for me,� head coach Bill Ryden said. “We introduced a new coach, we had two gymnasts not on the team that we anticipated would be on the team, we had two gymnasts coming back from major surgeries.� Talyn Curry and Colleen Fisher chose to retire in the offseason due to injuries suffered throughout their career, leaving Ryden with holes in the roster. The Wildcats struggled to put together complete meets through-

BASEBALL continued from page 18 on Earth,� Lopez said. “He was passing out and coming through then passing out again. I thought he blew his knee up the way he was coming off the field.� Vincent Littleman got the start on the mound for Arizona, going 3.1 innings and allowing four earned runs. Bandilla gave up four more runs in twothirds of an inning before Nick Cunningham was able to stop the bleeding, throwing four innings and allowing one unearned run on two hits. Arizona mounted a small rally in the ninth before Garcia’s replacement Brandon Dixon struck out with the bases loaded and the tying run in the ondeck circle.

out the season. For the most part, they would have three solid events but struggle in the fourth. The beam was the Achilles heel of Arizona all season, especially during regionals. “We know that we caused our own (problems),� Ryden said. “The fact that we counted so many problems, the fact that some of our veterans had consistency issues, that’s what we learned.� Ryden said that he has spoken to the team about remembering the sting of the season and the bittersweet meets. Even through the trials and tribulations, Ryden said he would give the team a ‘B’ for their performance this year. “We showed that we have top 12 or top 15 talent but the fact that you didn’t get a few of those answers right, well then you don’t get the A,� Ryden said. Junior Katie Matusik was one

of the standouts for the Wildcats and she proved this with a strong showing at regionals. Ryden called her performance one of the highlights of the meet and praised her for the heart that she showed. Matusik will be part of a strong senior class for Arizona next year. She will be joined next year by fellow seniors Rebecca Cardenas, Britnie Jones and Deanna Graham. The team will lose Miranda Russell, who the team looked at as their ‘mother hen,’ but is bringing in four freshmen who could potentially compete all-around. “We have a really young team. I think next year we’re going to be a lot stronger,� Matusik said. “All the upperclassmen are experienced, having four seniors that can lead the team will be amazing. “Next year we are going to Nationals, I don’t care. It’s not a ‘well we can make it.’ We are going to make it.�

Texas A&M defeats Notre Dame to win women’s national championship McClatchy Tribune INDIANAPOLIS — The way people were talking about the matchup in Tuesday night’s NCAA women’s basketball final, it was as if Notre Dame and Texas A&M never had made any kind of mark in the sport. “New faces,� Aggies coach Gary Blair called the teams. In a scintillating game, which finished with Texas A&M winning its first national title, 76-70, both teams gave basketball a much more attractive face than the mess UConn and Butler smeared on the men’s final Monday night. Big Danielle Adams, the Aggies’ 6-1 forward, scored 22 points after intermission and 30 for the game to rally her team from a seven-point deficit early in the second half. Skylar Diggins had 23 and Devereaux Peters 21 for Notre Dame (31-8). The clinching basket turned out to be a three-pointer by Tyra White as the shot clock showed 0.0 with

1 minute, 7 seconds to play. White sealed it with two free throws 40 seconds later. Truth be told, both the Aggies (335) and the Irish need little introduction to fans of the women’s game. Notre Dame won the championship 10 years ago, has made the Final Four three times and the tournament 16 straight years. Texas A&M has made six straight tourneys, reaching the Elite Eight and Sweet 16 in 2009, earning a No. 2 seed four straight seasons. After sloppy ballhandling early — seven mainly unforced turnovers in the first seven minutes — eventually put Notre Dame down by 13, the Irish rallied as they committed only two more errors the rest of the half. When the Aggies’ top guard, Sydney Colson, was forced to the bench with her second and then third fouls, Irish whippet Diggins took full advantage to bring her team back. Devereaux Peters was a force at both ends for Notre Dame, with

10 points and a rebound in the opening half. The Irish shot 59 percent from the floor in the first half, the Aggies 45 percent. With Peters leading the way, Notre Dame pulled out to a 44-37 lead early in the second half, but the Aggies big forward, Danielle Adams, began to have her way in the paint. With 10 points in the first 6:30 of the second half, Adams put A&M back ahead 50-48. This is the first time since 1994 — and just the second in 30 NCAA women’s tournaments — that there was not a No. 1 seed playing for the title. But some would go so far as to see the absence of Tennessee (8 titles), UConn (7) and Stanford (2) from the title game as the start of a new era in a sport dominated by a handful of teams for three decades. “Usually, people coming out of high school, the All-Americas, they want to go to the names familiar to them, the UConns, the Tennessees, schools known for winning national

championships,� Texas A&M senior guard Sydney Colson said. “There’s a higher chance they’ll win in their four years at the school. Maybe it’s a good thing people introduced to Notre Dame and A&M.� And both should be major factors next year and for years to come. The Irish lose just one player, starting forward Becca Bruszewski. While the Aggies lose three of their top six, Blair adds one of the nation’s top high school players from two years ago, South Carolina transfer Kelsey Bone, and he has signed 6-foot, 7-inch Rachel Mitchell, whom one rating service says is the No. 4 high school center in the country. UConn, Tennessee and Stanford, which made two of the last four title games, rarely have much of a dropoff, even when a superstar like UConn’s Maya Moore moves on. “We would love to see some new teams come up and be the ones everybody is talking about every year,� Irish coach Muffet McGraw said.

Owned by the Devils By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat After rallying in the fourth inning after a bench-clearing scuffle, the Arizona baseball team lost its third straight game, falling to ASU 10-5. It was also the third straight loss to the Sun Devils. Arizona (20-10, 2-4 Pacific 10 Conference) third baseman Cole Frenzel was hit in the back in the fourth inning — his second time being hit in the game and fifth time being plunked in Arizona’s last four games — and had words with pitcher Kyle Ottoson on his way to first base. Sun Devil second baseman Zack MacPhee then exchanged words with Frenzel, which brought both dugouts onto the field. Frenzel got the start at third because normal third baseman Seth Mejias-Brean had a wrist injury flare up, which he is getting X-rayed today. No punches were thrown and bullpen catcher TC Mark was the only ejection, but the fracas sparked Arizona to three runs in the inning, cutting the

ASU (22-6, 5-1 Pac-10) lead to 6-4. Unfortunately for Arizona, the Wildcats would plate only one more run, coming in the bottom of the ninth. “Cole (Frenzel) was fired up, next thing you know I have Hulk Hogan coming out of the bullpen,” said head coach Andy Lopez. “I take full responsibility for (the loss). I’ve got to do a good job making better decisions. Arizona State played well, but I cost us this ball game.” Arizona designated hitter Robert Refsnyder left the bases loaded in the fourth inning after lining a ball into the leftcenter gap that ASU centerfielder Andy Workman made a diving play on. ASU responded with two more runs in the next half-inning, both off of Bryce Bandilla. After starting at first base, Josh Garcia had to leave the game due to leg cramps while leaving the field after a strikeout ended ASU’s half of the fifth. “That was the worst leg cramp I’ve seen in all my life

Alex Mejia turns a double play in Arizona’s 10-5 loss to ASU on Tuesday at Frank Sancet Stadium. The loss was the Sun Devils’ third straight win over the Wildcats this season. Arizona will return to the diamond this weekend when it hosts California for a three-game series.

Andres Carrasco making a name for himself on the court, YouTube By Zack Rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat Andres Carrasco, captain of the Arizona men’s tennis team, has amassed almost 70 wins as a Wildcat. His talents extend beyond the tennis courts, however, as the man they call “Nacho,” accumulated more than two hundred thousand view on YouTube. Thanks to his spot-on impersonations of numerous professional tennis players, such as Andy Roddick, Carrasco has become a YouTube sensation of sorts. According to Carrasco, he started doing these impersonations before he enrolled at Arizona, as an up-and-coming tennis player back in Spain. “When I was practicing everyday with my coach, who was my brother, and two teammates, we would practice 4-6 hours a day and we spent a lot of time together. You have a lot of time to joke around, and you need it too,” he said. Essentially, the impersonations were a result of boredom and need for entertainment. “Sometimes we were on the court, in free time or in changeovers or something, and I would just start making fun of some players and my teammates would be laughing. I realized I had a little gift to offer people and I started doing impersonations more and more.” The whole YouTube gig came about when one of his teammates proposed putting the imitations online. Once the first video went up, it received much more

19

positions, as a freshman. A highly-touted international recruit, Carrasco chose Arizona over Texas, Auburn, Hawaii, South Florida and a few other schools. “It’s an amazing life here,” Carrasco said. “The nice weather, nice people — it’s the best experience of my life.” After he graduates, Carrasco doesn’t plan on pursuing a professional career because, as he described, he tried that before he came to college and it’s a tough thing to do because of the risk involved. “(Playing professionally) was an amazing life, but it’s too much for me,” the senior said. “Too much money to invest and to travel the world again.” Carrasco said he’s interested in coaching, and this summer he plans on going to New York for three months to teach tennis to kids with college aspirations and counsel them on college life. “Its been an amazing ride for Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat four years and (I) can’t believe Senior Andres Carrasco has had a successful four-year career as a Wildcat, but the Spain native has also gained notoriety for his impersonations of professional stars on YouTube. Carrasco has won 66 matches in his career and also been praised by professionals that time goes by that fast,” he Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray for his videos. said. “Seems like yesterday when I came here to Arizona as a freshattention than he had expected. this past weekend, spoke with u can guess the players” back in man and I looked up to all the seHe names his impersonations Andres when he attended last September 2009. niors and the captains.

Fowler garners national, conference POW award By Nicole Dimtisos Arizona Daily Wildcat Sophomore pitcher Kenzie Fowler was named USA Softball Player of the Week and the Pacific 10 Conference Pitcher of the Week on Tuesday. Fowler threw two complete-game shutouts over the weekend against Stanford. She didn’t give up a single run in 15.1 innings and held the Cardinal to a combined .085 batting average. “I’m honored to be named the USA Softball Player of the Week,” Fowler said in a press release. “Our team had a great weekend and I was happy to be part of that success.” Fowler, who registered her 20th win over the weekend, is finally finding consistent success after adjusting her pitching motion for the second time this season. She is currently second in the Pac-10 with 161 strikeouts. This is the second time Fowler has been given the national player of the week award in her career, and the first time an Arizona Wildcat player has received the award this season. Fowler’s Pac-10 pitching award is the third of her career, and the 134th time Arizona has won

the award. That figure leads the Pac-10. “That’s very nice. That’s a great accomplishment and a great honor,” said head coach Mike Candrea. “She had a good weekend and looked like her old self.”

A Pac-10 first

For freshman short stop Alex Lavine, there were no nerves going into her first Pac-10 game. It was all about anticipation. “It was really exciting,” Lavine said. “That’s the best we’ve played all season and it was really great.” The freshman had a home run in the Wildcat’s 6-1 win over the Cardinal on Saturday. It was her third of the year. Lavine, along with freshman pitcher Shelby Babcock, is making an impact on Candrea’s starting line up. Babcock started the second game of the series with the Cardinal, threw 3.1 innings and gave up the only run charged to Arizona over the weekend. “I felt like everyone was in the game and doing the things that we needed to,” Candrea said. “It was probably the best series that we’ve played to date.”
