STEM program diversifies field

BY TERRIE BRIANNA The Daily Wildcat

Teachers in Industry is a UApartnered program that aims to educate teachers and increase their retention rates in science, technology, engineering and math classrooms. The program recently received recognition from Change the Equation for its uniqueness and efforts to diversify the field.

Change the Equation is an organization that partners with communities, schools and states to

ensure that students receive STEM programs.

Julia Olsen, the director of Teachers in Industry, said the purpose of the program is for teachers to “experience working in a business because most teachers have not done that. … They can learn first-hand about the kind of skills and knowledge that their students need to get interested in careers in STEM … and to understand why STEM is important.”

According to Bruce Johnson, a co-director at the STEM Learning

Center, the Teachers in Industry program is the only program in the country that arranges for STEM classroom teachers to work in STEM industries during the summer and earn a master’s degree simultaneously.

“One reason Teachers in Industry was recognized by Change the Equation is its combination of STEM work experience and a graduate program,” Johnson said. “… [We] have data to show how the program helps to teach excellent STEM teachers in the profession while

also assisting them to bring their business [and] industry experiences to their classrooms to help their students.”

From 2001 to 2014, there was a one percentage point decrease in the number of women in the engineering and advanced manufacturing fields, exemplifying the underrepresentation issue that groups such as these, along with President Barack Obama’s administration, are trying to eradicate.

The reopening of Mount Lemmon’s most popular campground on Friday marked the beginning of the summer camping season for Tucsonans.

“In the summer, when it warms up, people like to recreate in the higher elevations where it’s cooler, to get out of the desert heat,” said Heidi Schewel,

public affairs specialist for the Coronado National Forest.

Rose Canyon Campground, which opened Friday, has 72 campsites with drinking water available and is at an elevation of 7,200 feet.

Schewel said Rose Canyon Campground is the most popular of the summer campsites, which is why it is the first to be reopened.

Whitetail Campground

and Showers Point Group Campground are both camping sites that can accommodate groups of campers and will reopen for the summer on Friday.

Schewel said Spencer Canyon Campground is also popular during the summer camping season. She added that Spencer Canyon Campground is at an elevation of 7,800 feet and is the highest developed campground

on Mount Lemmon. Due to its higher elevation, Schewel said the weather is still pretty cold up there, and as a result, the campground will reopen on or around April 17.

Schewel said it is important to prepare for mountain weather when camping on Mount Lemmon.

Several changes around the UA campus are being implemented in preparation for Spring Fling, which takes place on the UA Mall Friday to Sunday.

Campus visitors can expect traffic restrictions and general changes around campus as crews configure the event area for the largest student-run carnival in the nation beginning today at 6 a.m. until April 15 at 8 a.m.

Road closures for the 41st annual Spring Fling include University Boulevard between Cherry Avenue and Campbell Avenue. There will also be temporary fencing closing off portions of the Mall to cyclists, motorists and pedestrians.

SPRING FLING, 3

Fast-paced finish to Legislature session

Arizona Sonora News Service

PHOENIX — The hours dragged on Thursday into the evening and then into the early morning Friday as lawmakers moved bill after bill to reach a historic — and chaotic — early finish to the legislative session.

Sine die, Latin for “without day,” marks the end of the session for the Arizona Legislature, which is supposed to finish its work in 100 days. This year, it finished in just 81 days — the shortest in decades.

Following the early passage of the budget last month, major bills remained on the calendar for the final week.

Arizonans creating, testing health apps

BY REBECCA MARIE SASNETT

Arizona Sonora News Service

Want to quit smoking? There is an app for that — made in Arizona.

Researchers and entrepreneurs are developing apps to make Arizonans healthier, and they also are testing existing mobile health devices to see if they actually work.

“We can now empower people to take their health into their own hands,” said Dr. David G. Armstrong, UA professor of surgery and director of Southern Arizona Limb Salvage Alliance. “That’s the future of care. What’s pretty cool is that future is now.”

The UA is releasing its first free health app, See Me Smoke-Free, the first week of April for trial testing.

Created by Judith Gordon, an associate professor in the UA Department of Family and Community Medicine, the app is designed to help women quit smoking, eat better and exercise more.

“It’s primarily aimed at getting women to feel good about themselves and to live a healthier lifestyle,” Gordon said.

Women, for the first time, are more likely than men to die from diseases caused by smoking, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. When women gain weight, some tend to relapse and go back to smoking, Gordon said.

With the use of images and audio files, the app focuses on helping women quit smoking as well as helping with body image and nutrition. Users can view pink flowers on their mobile devices while listening to soothing audio files and “imagine themselves smoke-free,” Gordon said. Athletes use a similar process before they prepare for a game, according to Gordon.

The app provides links to websites and shows how much money users save every day they do not smoke.

The app also is “gameified,” which means the users receive awards for every goal they meet, Gordon said.

Gordon collaborated with UA nutritional sciences professor Melanie Hingle, UA computer engineering professor Thienne Johnson, and Peter Giacobbi, associate professor from West Virginia University.

“Partnering was really important,

because this is a multi-behavioral intervention,” Gordon said.

See Me Smoke-Free is the second health app Gordon created. She also designed RxCoach to help men and women take their medication to quit smoking.

RxCoach includes a daily reminder to take medication, and asks the user why they are not taking their medication.

Some people forget, while others do not know how to take the medication, fail to talk with pharmacists or are unaware of the side effects.

Twenty-nine people were included in a trial program to see how the app worked. During the first phase, between 80 and 100 percent of people took their medication while using RxCoach, according to Gordon.

RxCoach will cost $2.99, but a free version also will be available for

download on the iTunes App Store.

Banner — University Medical Center Tucson is using mobile apps attached to wearables to help patients in the Intensive Care Unit, according to Armstrong.

Andreas Proroczok, a patient in Armstrong’s research study, used SurroSense Rx, which is a watch that is connected to shoe insoles to help with balance.

The insoles monitor four pressure points to help track balance. When a patient stands on one pressure point too long, the watch notifies the patient.

Due to Proroczok’s severe neuropathy, he lost half his foot and cannot feel certain pressure points.

The watch notifies him when he has abnormal pressure on his feet, Proroczok said.

“Because I have no sensation in my feet, it actually helped me balance out better in my feet,” Proroczok said.

In an article on Tuesday titled “Women honored for their research,” Mary Voyatzis made a reference to her education which appeared misleading. Voyatzis went to the College for Women at the University of Pennsylvania, not a college for specifically for women, as the quote implied.

In another article on Wednesday titled “Sexual assault on campus,” information regarding medical exams for sexual assault survivors was unclear. While Campus Health Service does offer emergency contraceptives, exams specifically for sexual assault are not provided. Individuals should go to a hospital for exams in this case, as the Campus Health website recommends.

actually do what they say they do, because they have never been tested,” Gordon said.

Self-monitoring can help raise awareness, but it is not enough to result in change, said Melanie Hingle, assistant professor of nutritional sciences and public health at the UA and partner on the See Me SmokeFree app.

“We are kind of at the beginning,” Hingle said.

Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute has launched a project called HoneyBee to test the accuracy of data collected from mobile health devices.

“Do these things actually work to improve patient outcome?” asked Joe Caspermeyer, Biodesign Institute spokesman.

HoneyBee is employing seven clinical trials to test apps, including those intended to prevent heart failure, track exercise for diabetes patients and monitor arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeats. The project data will be available this summer or fall.

The Food and Drug Administration is focusing its attention on apps that could affect a person’s health negatively.

“The agency is focusing its oversight on a subset of mobile medical apps that pose a greater risk to patients,” said FDA spokeswoman Andrea Fischer.

The FDA does not regulate apps that are not posing health risks, such as medical flash cards, a library of clinical descriptions, paying medical claims online, or trackers, including See Me Smoke-Free. The FDA does regulate mobile medical apps that serve as an accessory to a medical device that could affect an individual’s health.

For users, if the app seems to work, then it works.

Danny Plewa, a UA junior studying chemistry and biochemistry, uses Argus, a tracking app that tracks steps and water usage. Using Argus has also become a game among his friends. They try to beat each other to see who gets the most steps.

Becky Lehman, a sign language interpreter from Tucson, said she lost 35 pounds using Fitbit, an app connected to a wristband that tracks a user’s movement.

“I don’t think it has to be 100 percent accurate to be helpful,” Lehman said.

at night than it is down here,” Schewel said, “so take warm bedding and clothing.”

Schewel added that it is also important to take precautions in order to prevent interactions with black bears.

“There are bear-proof food and trash receptacles at most of the developed campsites,” Schewel said. “It’s really important to lock up food and trash in those receptacles, and if those receptacles are not available if you are camping in areas with no facilities, then [campers] would want to cover those [items] and lock them in their car. Keep a clean campsite, and don’t take scented materials into tents at night — that includes toothpastes, lotions and clothing that was used to cook in.”

Kyle Fisher, a sophomore studying psychology and criminal justice studies, said he is excited for the campgrounds to reopen this year.

“I try to go up Mount Lemmon every chance I get to admire the beauty of Tucson,” Fisher said. “My absolute favorite part is looking up at the sky to see how clear all the stars are. It’s mind-boggling.”

Fisher said the last time he went camping on Mount Lemmon, he was with SOPHOS Sophomore Honorary, an Associated Students of the University of Arizona club.

“I think my favorite memory from that trip was doing an activity called ‘star tipping,’” Fisher said. “You focus on one star, spin around for 30 seconds really fast; while still looking at it, someone shines a light in your eyes, and you fall down laughing. It’s the funniest thing in existence and because it’s so clear up there, Mount Lemmon is a great place to do it.”

Alex Schwartz, assistant director for Outdoor Adventures, said Outdoor Adventures hosts rock climbing, wilderness yoga and hiking trips on Mount Lemmon.

He said there will be a yoga trip on April 26, and a rock climbing trip on May 3, as well as other trips over the summer.

Ducey broke out his veto pen for the first time on Monday to strike down a bill that would have sealed the names of law enforcement officers involved in shootings for 60 days.

Supporters said it would provide for a “cooling off” period to protect officers and their families, while critics said it would only deepen community distrust of police. S.B. 1445 received bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate with nearly all Republicans and 11 House Democrats and five Senate Democrats voting in favor.

speaking on bills.

The Senate adjourned sine die Friday morning around 1 a.m. while their colleagues in the House still debated bills needing the other chamber’s approval.

The controversial Senate Bill 1339, aimed at stopping “ballot harvesting,” died on the House floor because it could not go back to the Senate for a final read. Attempts by House Democrats to adjourn sine die after debating S.B. 1339 were rebuffed by Republicans, and the chamber continued passing bills until 3:30 a.m. when the Legislature officially finished.

Lawmakers still passed a bill dissolving the Department of Weights and Measures backed by Gov. Doug Ducey. House Bill 2480, introduced late in the session, spreads the responsibilities of the department around to other state agencies.

Democrats questioned why the process was being rushed, since the proposed dissolution of the department would not go into effect until next year. The Senate approved the bill 17-8, and the House sent it to the governor on a 36-22 vote.

Several other major pieces of legislation passed, or failed, on the final day of the session: — The Legislature voted to ban municipalities from banning plastic bags, as well as Styrofoam boxes. The House and Senate approved S.B. 1241 mostly down party lines as the cities of Flagstaff and Tempe consider bans on plastic bags.

— Lawmakers also passed H.B. 2135, which provides regulations for ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft. A previous attempt to regulate the transportation networks last year was vetoed by then-Gov. Jan Brewer.

— The House and Senate approved legislation to bring Arizona IDs into compliance with federal Real ID standards. The standards will go into effect next year, and concerns were raised that Arizonans would not be able to use their IDs at airports and to get into federal buildings.

— Ducey’s proposal to create a badge-carrying inspector general failed. Changes were promised to address concerns regarding accountability and transparency in the initial legislation for the proposed office.

In a lengthy veto letter, Ducey said S.B. 1445 didn’t achieve the objectives it sought in officer safety and instead could create even more problems. Ducey cited concerns from the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police, which called on him to veto the legislation.

“Under current law and in practice, chiefs have the authority to make decisions in the best interests of their officers and departments,” Ducey wrote. “Their concern, and mine, is that setting an arbitrary 60-day benchmark for release of names would limit their ability to best manage these often tenuous situations and result in unintended consequences.”

Ducey vetoed other bills this week including: H.B. 2150, which would have changed animal cruelty law related to livestock and poultry, and H.B. 2410, which would have prohibited law enforcement departments from maintaining quotas for traffic citations.

On Monday, Ducey also signed into law the abortion regulation bill S.B. 1318, which includes a controversial provision requiring doctors to inform women seeking medication abortions that the process can be “reversed.”

Senate kills bills

The Senate kept some of the more controversial bills this week off the governor’s desk when some moderate Republicans joined Democrats in voting them down.

The Senate killed H.B. 2190, which would have repealed Common Core standards, known as Arizona’s College and Career Ready Standards by the Arizona Department of Education, when Democratic and Republican Sens. Jeff Dial of

Chandler, Adam Driggs of Phoenix, Steve Pierce of Prescott and Bob Worsley of Mesa voted against the bill that cleared the House and the Senate Education Committee earlier.

Another bipartisan coalition of senators voted down a bill that would have allowed parents to opt their children out of statewide standardized tests.

Driggs, Pierce and Worsley also voted against H.B. 2320, which would have allowed concealed carry permit-holders to bring guns into public buildings and events. The bill previously cleared the House and the Senate Government Committee.’

Compromise bill dies

The faction that voted down H.B. 2184 didn’t have to hide in the shadows. The bill, designed to settle a constitutional dispute between Ducey and Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas, died in the House when the bill did not come back up for reconsideration.

House members voted down the measure last week on a 38-17 vote to clarify that the governor has authority over the state Board of Education after Douglas tried to fire two top board officials in February. Ducey responded that she did not have the power to do so, at which point Douglas shot off a fiery statement saying the governor was being influenced by a “shadow faction” of Common Core supporters, among other claims.

Terrorism not based on race, religion

BY ASHWIN MEHRA The Daily Wildcat

W

hen Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed on March 24, everyone wanted to know why. Was there a problem with the plane? Was it a hijacking? Something more mysterious, perhaps?

It turned out the crash was caused by copilot Andreas Lubitz. Lubitz suffered from depression and decided to crash the plane in order to kill himself — and all the other 149 innocent passengers on board.

This information was available quite early, and German and French authorities quickly announced that Lubitz did not have a terrorist background or ties to terrorist groups. This didn’t stop one intrepid journalist, though, who decided to ask what seems to be the most irrelevant question ever: Was Lubitz a Muslim?

Because if he wasn’t, then it can’t be terrorism, right? A Christian terrorist? Or a Jewish, Hindu or Buddhist terrorist? Those don’t exist.

But if he’s Muslim and killed people, clearly he must be a terrorist.

Why does it matter if Lubitz was a Muslim or not, after all? Does being Muslim make it a terrorist attack, even if he has no ties to terrorist groups?

And let’s say he wasn’t Muslim. Does that automatically mean it was just an isolated incident, the act of a sad, disturbed individual who was otherwise a great person?

Of course, that’s how the media generally treats non-Muslim murderers. It’s a fair criticism that’s been heard after every mass shooting that has hit the news for the last few years: White killers are more likely to be described as disturbed. Non-white killers are more likely to be described using a set group of stereotypical words based on their race, regardless of who they really were.

Just look at the fact that the question was even posed, because if he had been Christian, there would have been no reason for the media to explore any terrorist connections, unlike if he had been Muslim.

Because only Muslims are terrorists.

(This, by the way, isn’t true).

University of Michigan professor Juan Cole wrote on his blog, “The subtext is that white Christians don’t go off the deep end, even though obviously they do, in large numbers.”

He said that while the crash was probably not an act of political terrorism, it was a terroristic act regardless.

Some journalists voiced their opinions online as well, such as Chris Hayes of MSNBC, who commented on how the coverage of the crash would be very different “if this co-pilot were named Mohammed Al-Masaood, son of Egyptian immigrants.”

Most likely, the media, especially right-wing media, would have looked into every nook and cranny of Lubitz’s background to find terrorist ties. Some might even have said the authorities are lying; he was Muslim, after all.

Whether Lubitz should indeed be called a terrorist is perhaps a matter of question. Did he mean to incite fear or simply to kill innocent people for no good reason? It doesn’t really matter, though. It was a horrible act, and Cole is right to have said that it is terroristic. Terrorism, after all, isn’t confined to being of political or religious nature.

The fact is, however, that Lubitz had depression and was suicidal. A doctor declared him unfit to be working.

Lubitz decided to kill himself instead of seeking further help.

If he was Muslim, none of that would matter. It wouldn’t matter that he was depressed or suicidal or shouldn’t have been working or that he dreamed of becoming a pilot. If he was Muslim, then he’d have been a terrorist; he’d have had some ties, fictional or not, to terrorist groups.

Even if none of that was true, the media focus would still be on examining if it was possible — because how could it not be, after all, if he was a Muslim?

Regardless of whomever Lubitz worshipped, if he even did at all, the nature of his attack doesn’t change. It doesn’t become worse, and it doesn’t become better. And the criteria for deciding if it was a terrorist attack is not Lubitz’s religion — unless you’ve already decided that only Muslims can be terrorists. In that case, you’re a bigot, and you’re wrong.

Don’t pass over stories of women, LGBT folks at Seder Jewish community, which was viewed as a bad idea, as it no longer made the Seder plate kosher. Many people were outraged, since Passover is the celebration of unleavened bread. Instead, she substituted an orange to represent women and the LGBTQ community and their roles in Judaism.

More people should add an orange to their Seder plate. Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and Nobel Prize-winning author, writes that Passover is the practice of teaching and questioning, adding another layer to the tradition of a holiday celebrating freedom from oppression in Egypt.

Placing an orange on the Seder plate is questioning. It’s questioning the role of minorities in the Jewish community. It’s questioning the idea that there’s no way to carry on a 3,000-year-old tradition while also adapting for the present.

More than that, women played a direct role in the story of Passover. Jochebed, Moses’ mother, placed him in a basket and sent him down the Nile. Miriam, his sister, played a critical role in leading the people to Mount Sinai and throughout the 40 years of wandering in the desert that followed.

Alyssa Silva, a senior studying religious studies and Judaic studies and teacher at Anshei Israel Preschool, used an orange on her Seder plate at Hillel Center on Friday night.

“In the story of Passover, women are just as important as Moses himself,” Silva said.

O

n Friday, Jewish people around the world turned to the age-old tradition of Passover Seder. The tradition of Passover dates back to biblical times and tells the story of Exodus.

Not much has changed in the past 3,000 years about the Seder. The Seder plate has largely remained the same, as many traditions for Passover are outlined in Deuteronomy. But in recent years, many reform Jews have been adding an orange to the Seder plate. The orange is said to represent women and those in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community.

There are different origin stories for the orange on the Seder, but it is largely accepted that the tradition originated in the 1980s. The old myth goes that the orange was added as a response to one man who said, “A woman belongs on the Bima the way the orange belongs on the Seder plate.”

But in reality, most believe the tradition began with Susannah Heschel, who is a Jewish feminist writer. She proposed an alternative to putting a piece of bread crust on the Seder plate to represent the lesbian

“If it wasn’t for his mother, Jochebed, and sister, Miriam, he would have been slain with the others.”

Women play an integral role in the Bible in more than just the story of Moses. The orange also represents the midwives and their roles during biblical times.

According to Silva, there have been reforms of the Passover tradition over the past 40 to 50 years. Olives have also shown up on the Seder plate, according to the Jerusalem Post, which represents the solidarity of some Jewish people with the Palestinian people and a protest against their treatment by the state of Israel.

Passover is about questioning what we know to be true. Questions are built into the Passover tradition, in which the youngest child at the table asks: “Why is this night different from all other nights?”

Silva said “[adding an orange] is up to the individual” and that she “[hopes] people try it out, but it’s an individual decision.”

The tradition of Passover is sacred, and we should celebrate the full story. Adding an orange to the Seder plate only enriches that story, celebrating the women who helped bring the Jewish people to the land of Israel.

Dumb abortion laws carry lessons

BY ELIZABETH HANNAH

The Daily Wildcat

S

o, here’s the thing about abortion: It’s not proven to be reversible. Anyone who claims otherwise is either misinformed, lying or legally obligated to tell you so.

When Gov. Doug Ducey signed Senate Bill 1318 into law on March 30, Arizona became the only state in the nation to require that doctors tell their patients, “It may be possible to reverse the effects of a medication abortion.”

The Arizona Legislature passed S.B. 1318 over the objections of medical professionals who argued that the statute lacks scientific evidence to back it up.

In a series of recent press releases and interviews, the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists blasted the new law as dangerous and medically unsound. Women’s health

organizations such as Planned Parenthood also oppose S.B. 1318 on the grounds that it forces physicians to practice bad medicine.

I could delve into the “junk science” behind S.B. 1318 and explain why it is ridiculous to suggest a drug-induced abortion is reversible, but I have nothing new to add to the conversation.

Google “reversible abortions,” and you will find that the study used to support the claims in S.B. 1318 has already been thoroughly discredited.

So, why continue to beat a dead horse?

First, because the idea that the Legislature can control how a doctor advises a patient is scary enough to merit a feature-length film and 12 encyclopedias.

When we visit the doctor, we expect that they will treat us with professional expertise. We expect we will receive care from a person who has spent years accumulating credible knowledge about health and medicine, not from a person who was elected

to office.

Last time I checked, Ducey still hasn’t earned his M.D. degree.

If we wouldn’t trust the Arizona Legislature to advise us about heart disease or lung cancer, we shouldn’t trust it as an authority on women’s health.

Secondly, it is important to hold the supposed “moderates” in the Arizona Legislature responsible for their actions.

Though bills like S.B. 1318 are proposed by extremists such as Cathi Herrod and sponsored by staunchly conservative legislators, they are made possible by the so-called moderate Republicans who vote against the most egregious bills and quietly support the crazybut-less-crazy ones.

It’s time to stop patting Adam Driggs on the back when he votes to expand Medicaid or ban guns in public buildings. As long as voters continue to elect hard-line ideologues under the pretense that they will act sensibly, Arizona will remain the favorite punch line of “The Daily Show.”

Finally, S.B. 1318 reflects what the controversy over abortion really boils down to: power, authority and control over women. It is easy to forget that women have had the right to vote for less than 100 years. Equal pay for equal work did not become law until 1963, and Title IX was not passed until 1972.

True, we live in 2015. But we live in a country that has a welldocumented history of exerting its power over women, and to suggest that this history is not the root cause of abortion law is to ignore reality entirely.

S.B. 1318, a bill that lacks empirical justification and tarnishes the sacred doctorpatient relationship, serves no purpose other than to strengthen the Legislature’s control over women and their bodies. It needs to be repealed.

POLICE BEAT

BY AMBER WHITE

The Daily Wildcat

Serial caller

A UA student continued to receive numerous harassing phone calls for two to three months while working at the Student Recreation Center’s Wildcat Threads store; she reported this to a University of Arizona Police Department officer on March 18 at 2:22 p.m.

She told the officer an unknown man repeatedly called the store asking questions about items the store didn’t carry on-site or online. The store caller ID showed “private” whenever the man called, and he would ask about items even after being told they didn’t carry them.

The questions he asked were not threatening or personal in nature, but the employee grew annoyed with them, especially when the store was busy. In the past two to three months, she had taken about 15 calls from the man.

She described the man as having a deep, almost raspy voice, no accent and sounding to be in his 30s.

Another UA student and store manager reported receiving several calls from a man asking identical questions. She received the calls while at separate stores and estimated the total amount to be 15.

She sent an email to other stores and found out the man had called the stores in McKale Center, Park Place Mall, Roy Place, Main Gate Square and the UA Bookstore. All the questions he asked during the calls were consistent.

The store manager said the man appeared to recognize when a manager answered the phone and would hang up. No staff members asked the man to stop calling. The store’s Management Information Specialist was working with University Information Technology Services to identify the caller’s number.

The officer advised the two students to ask the man to stop calling and document when they did this. If they were unable to do this, the officer said they should document each time he calls and contact UAPD.

Runaway

A Silver Mine Subs employee reported his tip jar being stolen on March 19 at 11:43 p.m. in Coronado Residence Hall.

The employee described the supposed thief as a young black male with camo pants and a dark sweater that was pulled over his head. The UAPD officer drove around the area looking for the described individual. When driving on Fourth Street and Third Avenue, he noticed three non-UA-affiliated youths walk westbound on the sidewalk. All the individuals went over to the officer’s vehicle to speak with him.

After speaking with them, the officer concluded they were not involved with the theft. One of the youths was shown as a missing child from the Marana Police Department. He said he left home last Friday and has not returned. The officer called the child’s mother and informed her he was with her son. She agreed to pick him up but said her son would probably get out of the car before getting home or leave once they arrived. The other two left the scene.

Once the child’s mother arrived, she spoke with her son for a while, and then the police spoke to him, because he said he did not want to leave with his mother and go back home. The child eventually agreed to go home with his mother and got in the back passenger seat of the vehicle.

While the vehicle was stopped at Fourth Street and Euclid Avenue, the child fled about four minutes after leaving. The officer drove around the area but could not locate the child; he still remains missing with the Marana police system.

Arizona baseball was swept by USC over a three-game series in which the Wildcats had their six-game win streak snapped

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Arizona baseball suffered its first series sweep of the season after giving up seven runs in one inning in back-to-back games.

The No. 22 Wildcats (22-9 7-5 Pac12 Conference) also saw their sixgame win streak end at the hands of No. 9 USC. The Trojans (25-6, 7-2)

won 10-9 on Saturday after winning 13-6 on Friday and 4-1 on Thursday.

“We’re scoring runs; that’s not the issue,” Arizona coach Andy Lopez said. “You can’t give up seven runs in an inning. My God, you can’t do that in a church picnic and feel good.

You do that at a church picnic, you go home and you don’t want to pray. I mean, give me a break.”

The Trojans opened the third

game with a single and a walk but only scored once in the first inning, on a sacrifice fly. USC scored seven runs in the opening inning of the second game of the series, knocking out UA starter Robby Medel (1-3) after seven batters.

On Saturday, Arizona starter Tyger Talley (3-0) lasted 3.2 innings, gave up eight hits, seven earned runs, walked two and struck out none.

Arizona’s No. 1 pair of Madi Kingdon and Kaitlyn Leary had a close match but finally pulled out a victory after going to three sets against New Mexico’s No. 1 team of Ashley Kelsey and Hannah Johnson (21-14, 1421, 15-12).

Day two of the Arizona versus New Mexico match ended in yet another Arizona victory, improving the Wildcats’ record to 10-1 this season.

Arizona softball won both games of a Saturday doubleheader to earn a road sweep over Oregon State. The No. 18 Wildcats defeated the Beavers 7-2 in the first game on Saturday and 22-3 in game two, after defeating OSU 9-3 on Friday.

With the three victories, Arizona moved to 31-9 overall and 6-3 in Pac-12 Conference play.

A rain storm pushed back the second game of the series from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning, but Arizona had no trouble adjusting to the new start time.

After Oregon State took the lead on a second inning solo home run, the Wildcats responded in the third when UA shortstop Kellie Fox drove an RBI single up the middle to tie the game.

Two batters later, Chelsea Goodacre hit a three-run homer to right field, putting Arizona up 4-1. It was Goodacre’s 14th home run of the season.

The UA loaded the bases in the fourth inning off an Oregon State error, a walk to Fox and a single from Goodacre. Arizona utility player Mandie Perez delivered a two-run, two-out single that pushed the lead to 6-1.

The Beavers cut into the deficit with another solo shot in the sixth inning off Wildcats pitcher Michelle Floyd.

The two homers were the only damage Floyd allowed in a complete game performance. The sophomore gave up five hits, struck out five and walked four.

Arizona added an insurance run in the seventh inning when Perez scored on a passed ball.

Oregon State pitcher Beverly Miller (15-9) allowed all seven runs, four of them earned, over seven innings of work. Miller took a line-drive to the face two days earlier, left the game and later received 10 stitches.

Arizona gymnastics saw its postseason venture come up short on Saturday in the Columbus Regional after finishing in fourth place.

The GymCats tallied a score of 195.800, finishing behind UCLA (197.500), Michigan (197.000) and

Central Michigan (195.925).

The Wildcats finished in front of Kentucky and Ohio State, but the Bruins and Wolverines will advance to the next round, qualifying for the NCAA Championships by finishing in first and second place.

“We fought really hard,” Arizona coach Bill Ryden said in a press release. “Beam

is one of our highest scoring events, and scoring was tight on there tonight, but that just shows it’s the postseason.

We were 23 for 24 routines, and I am proud of how they fought tonight and the entire season.”

Arizona began the meet on beam and finished with a total team score of 48.825.

Junior Lexi Mills led the way

for the Wildcats with a 9.800, and freshman Madison Cindric followed with a 9.775. Shelby Edwards, Krysten Howard and Jessie Sisler added 9.750 scores.

Sisler headlined the next event on floor for the Wildcats with a 9.875. Mills added a 9.850, and freshman Kennady Schneider scored a 9.825. The GymCats tallied a

total floor score of 49.075.

“Landing definitely determined the scores tonight,” Ryden said in a press release. “And unfortunately, we had some extra steps in a few of our landings. We nickeled-anddimed ourselves on floor, but we were still able to come out

Men and women both struggle

BY Stevie Katz

The Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s tennis is ranked No. 41 but has not started out the Pac-12 Conference matches in a positive way.

The Wildcats could not get it together and dropped to 3-4 in Pac-12 play, after being defeated by California and Stanford last weekend, as they lost, 5-2, to No. 1 ranked USC on Friday.

The Wildcats were not able to win the doubles point even though senior Laura Oldham and her freshman partner Devin Chypyha beat opponents Zoe Katz and Meredith Xepoleas on court three.

“Obviously, our doubles have improved a lot in the last couple weeks,” Arizona women’s tennis coach Vicky Maes said.

“For that, I’m happy, but I do think that we need to show up on the big points, which I don’t think we are always ready to do.”

Briar Preston, Shayne Austin, Lauren Marker and Inge Hendrikx competed on courts one and two for the Wildcats but failed to win match points.

“Good job on three winning that and two being up 6-4,” Maes said. “They, too, kind of crumbled a little bit, and you go down that doubles point against the best team in the country, you’re not going to get a whole lot more opportunities after that.”

Although doubles, or the match in general, did not go the Wildcats’ way, sophomore Marker, who is ranked No. 80, took down No. 11 ranked Giuliana Olmos and senior Preston, ranked No. 114, took down No. 49 Zoe Scandalis.

“It feels amazing; I wish we could have won as a team, but obviously getting that high ranked win boosted my confidence,

and it just shows that anyone can beat anyone,” Marker said. “I was down 7-4 in the 10-point tiebreaker, and I was just like, ‘OK, it’s only six more points; you can do this. Just stay in the moment, one point at a time,’ and I finally pulled it out, and it was pretty cool.”

The Wildcats played UCLA on Saturday and lost 7-0. Preston and Austin won on court one, 8-5. Marker, Hendrikx, Oldham

and Chypyha could not get it done on courts two and three.

Marker was defeated by No. 1-ranked Robin Anderson on court one, 6-3 and 6-2, and Preston was defeated on court two by No. 46-ranked Jennifer Brady 6-3, 6-2.

It was a special match for Preston and Oldham, despite Arizona not coming out on top, as it was their last time playing on the Arizona courts.

Wildcats compete in California

Arizona track and field traveled to Palo Alto, Calif., to compete in the Stanford Invitational on Friday, which consisted of schools ranging from Wisconsin to Boise State, all the way to Concordia.

At the same time, some of Arizona’s long distance runners ran at the San Francisco Distance Carnival. Senior Kristina Aubert competed in the 10K invitational section that consisted of many top collegiate and professional runners.

Aubert got a personal best time of 33:47.66 minutes during her 10K race.

That time is the sixth best in program history and placed her No. 16 against other college runners.

Aubert said she enjoys running the 10K as well as the 5K and does not have a race preference. She also said she was impressed with how she did Friday night.

Aubert did add that she wishes she finished her race stronger at the end, with the intensity she had during the race.

The GymCats tallied 48.875 on vault, a share lower than their seasonal average of 48.925.

Edwards and Cindric led the way with scores of 9.850 and 9.800, respectively. Senior Amber Wobma competed in the event with a 9.550 after being injured for most of the season.

The Wildcats had a bye for the fifth rotation and finished the meet on the uneven bars, totaling a team score of 49.025. The event also consisted of their only fall in the entire meet by Gabby Laub.

Freshman Victoria Ortiz led the way with a 9.825 and four of her teammates added scores of 9.800.

“It was really weird,” Preston said. “It kind of hasn’t set in that this is the last college match that I will ever play at my home school. It was nice to have a solid doubles win.”

The Arizona women head to Seattle for a matchup with Washington on Friday and Eugene, Ore., to take on the Ducks on Sunday.

The Arizona men’s tennis team traveled to Los Angeles this weekend where it took on UCLA and USC. The conference matches have not been going its way either, as it lost to UCLA 4-0 and to USC 6-1 to drop to 0-4 in conference play.

Senior Sumeet Shinde, sophomore Will Kneale and junior Trevor James all had unfinished singles matches on Friday, as the rest of the Wildcats players were taken down in just two sets.

Jose Zamorano got the only point for the Wildcats on Saturday and received his first career win, 6-3, 2-6 and 6-4. Junior Naoki Takeda, one of Arizona’s top players, has been injured for the past three matches.

“Naoki being out has created an opportunity for some of the other guys to take on different rolls,” Arizona assistant coach Arron Spencer said. “As a group, they have done a great job making up for the passion and fight that he brings to the match.”

The Wildcats head home for a Friday matchup against Oregon and their final home match of the season Sunday against Washington.

Senior Elvin Kibet also ran the women’s 10K and did a phenomenal job with keeping her time in a consistent career-high range. She had a time of 32:57.0, which is the third-best time of her career, and ended up finishing in 10th place overall and in fourth place against other college competitors.

Both Aubert and Kibet guaranteed themselves a spot in the 10K run at the NCAA West Preliminary round.

To train for running for the 10K, athletes are required to run long distances and complete lengthy practice sessions, Aubert explained.

Sophomore Collins Kibet also achieved his best time of 3:43.86 in the 1,500-meter race, which placed him in third place. Senior Sam Macaluso competed in the 5K and won his section with a time of 14:06.51, which is about a second away from his personal best time of 14:05.38.

In the women’s 5K, junior Hanna Peterson got her personal-best time of 16:59.60. Freshman Addi Zerrenner finished in 19th place with a time of 17:09.63. Senior Molly Callahan also ran

the 5K and had a personal-best time of 16:34.05.

For her next races, Aubert said she hopes to improve on her 5K time.

“I hope to run a 16:30 in the 5K,” Aubert said.

At the San Francisco Distance Carnival, freshman Michael Godbout competed in the 1,500-meter race and had a time of 3:53.65, which allowed him to be 24th overall.

Senior Kenji Bierig ran the 3K steeplechase and completed it in a time of 9:19.85. Junior Jonas Legernes ran in the same race and had a time of 9:25.94.

The track and field team still has a long season ahead of it, but with the way each athlete is running — with intensity, motivation and determination — the sky is the limit for the Wildcats.

Arizona’s next stop is in Tucson at the Jim Click Shootout Multis at 11 a.m. on Thursday.

Leary took on New Mexico’s Kelsey and Johnson again on Easter Sunday. The Wildcats quickly won the two sets (21-9, 2110).

The Witt sisters, Arizona’s No. 2 pair, defeated New Mexico in an equally dominating fashion with a straight set victory over the Lobos (21-10, 21-11).

Arizona’s Polan and Rhoades picked up another win against the Lobos with their 2111, 21-18 victories.

Rounding out the Wildcats’ four wins on Sunday was the No. 5 team of Seiber and Devlin, who defeated New Mexico’s Jackie Baro and Taylor Cross (21-19, 21-8).

Newman and Rugland, New Mexico’s No. 4 pair, took home the only win of the weekend for the Lobos after taking down Arizobal and Cook in two close sets (23-21, 21-18).

There is only one more opportunity to see the Wildcats on their home courts, as they take on ASU on April 22 at 4:30 p.m.

Until then, the Wildcats will head to the Sun Devils’ turf in Tempe next weekend to take on CSUB, New Mexico and the Sun Devils in the ASU Sand Volleyball Challenge, followed by a trip to Santa Monica, Calif., for two days in the Pac-12 Invitational Tournament from April 18-19.

Many of the GymCats took to social media to praise the team and how far they have come.

“I’m going to miss this specific team so much,” Mills said on Twitter. “I’ve never loved one team so much.”

Ryden could not agree more.

“I can’t say it enough: I’m just so proud of this team,” Ryden said in a press release. “They refused to give up, and they fought the entire season. They’ve earned everyone’s respect, and it’s been such a great year coaching them because of their attitude of never giving up. They’re a great group, and we’re so proud as coaches.”

they couldn’t score.

In the seventh, Ramer drove in a run and another scored on a throwing error. In the eighth, Arizona tied it when pinch hitter Tyler Krause hit a sacrifice groundout. USC took back the lead in the ninth on a two-out single.

Ramer made his second start of the season on Saturday and went 3-for-5 with two RBIs. He had one hit in six at-bats coming into the game.

“I thought I was seeing the ball well for not getting many at-bats,” Ramer said.

Kingery was 3-for-5 with two runs and a triple on Saturday. On Friday, he was 5-for-5 with a pair of doubles, two runs and two RBIs. Arizona changed the lineup for Saturday’s game. Kingery, the leading batter in the country going into the series, moved from lead off to the second spot.

Lopez said the lineup change

was because catcher Riley Moore was hitting about .220 in conference play. He said he just put the top five hitters in the Pac12 in the first five slots.

“Damn good coaching,” Lopez said, laughing. “I asked Kingery in about the fifth inning, ‘Do you pitch? Because the way you hit, I’m starting to think about putting you on the mound.’”

Kingery said he liked the lineup change.

“We’re switching it around, getting some people some different roles and getting Ramer out in left field,” Kingery said. “He had a couple knocks today, so that was good — anything we can do to change it up and score some runs.”

Up next for the Wildcats is a trip to No. 10 ASU this weekend.

innings in the second game of the day, setting a school record for most runs scored on the road. The UA hit five home runs, including a pair of grand slams.

Arizona got things started early when Fox hit a first-inning, two-run shot to center field.

The Wildcats then loaded the bases off a walk, single and hit batsman.

Oregon State pitcher Taylor Cotton lacked control on the mound, as she gave up four-consecutive free-passes, all resulting in runs.

Goodacre hit a solo homer an inning later to make it 7-0.

The Beavers put two runs on the board in the bottom of the frame to make it 7-2, after the Wildcats were held scoreless in the top half of the third.

Arizona’s Trish Parks allowed three

runs on five hits over five innings.

Parks earned her 11th victory of the season.

The UA broke things open in the fourth and fifth innings when the Wildcats busted out for eight and seven runs, respectively.

Arizona relied on four walks and three hits to catapult its fourth inning rally. Katiyana Mauga’s grand slam to left commenced the scoring.

The Wildcats put together a similar rally in the fifth, highlighted by a grand slam from Goodacre.

The offensive output equaled the most runs the Wildcats had scored in a conference game since defeating Stanford 25-0 in 1995.

Arizona now returns home to Hillenbrand Stadium, where it will host Washington for a three-game series beginning Friday.

Q

I heard I don’t need a Pap test every year. Really?

A. It’s true. Pap tests are no longer recommended as part of every woman’s annual visit, based on recommendations by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, the American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists, and the American Cancer Society.

Cervical cancer screening should begin at age 21. Women ages 21-29 should have a Pap test every 3 years. After age 30, women should have a Pap test and a DNA test for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) every 5 years.

Depending on their medical history, some women may need to have a different (or more frequent) screening schedule.

Women who have been vaccinated against HPV should still follow the screening recommendations for her age group.

Why the change? The 2012 recommendations are based on studies that showed yearly Pap testing is not necessary to prevent a significant number of cancers. In the past, many women with abnormal pap tests

incurred the expense (and anxiety) of unnecessary advanced testing.

HPV infection is very common, found in up to 80% of people. Most infections will clear up, without treatment, in 1-2 years.

Young, healthy, non-smoking women’s immune systems are particularly good at clearing HPV – similar to the way viral cold symptoms resolve.

But couldn’t waiting be dangerous and lead to cervical cancer? Not for the vast majority of young women. HPV takes years to develop into cancer. Most cases occur in women who didn’t follow up after an abnormal Pap test, never had a test, or who have gone long periods between tests.

What if you do have an “abnormal” Pap test? Best advice: stay calm. “Abnormal” doesn’t mean cancer. It indicates a need for further testing to find out what is happening on the cervix. Mild cervical dysplasia is almost always caused by HPV and will often get better without any treatment at all. Of course, medical follow-up is important for any abnormal Pap.

Loss of Lynyrd Skynyrd original The music industry and fans said goodbye to another rock ’n’ roll great this weekend after the death of Bob Burns, one of the founding members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Burns, 64, died in a car crash in Georgia on Friday.

The drummer was a part of the band for 10 years throughout the ’60s and ’70s and was a member when Lynyrd Skynyrd recorded hits such as “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird.”

Guitarist Gary Rossington — who still tours under the name Lynyrd Skynyrd — responded to his friend’s death, writing on Facebook: “I just remember Bob being a funny guy. … He was a great great drummer.”

Don Draper’s last drink After eight years, the hit series “Mad Men” aired the premiere of its final season, or rather, the episode that marked the second half of the split installment of the seventh season.

Set in the 1960s, the show follows the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency, specifically business exec Don Draper (Jon Hamm), his family and coworkers, as well as his personal and professional life. The show also explores the culture of 1960s America and the changing moral attitudes in the time period.

Throughout its run, the show has won 15 Emmys and four Golden Globes.

The series finale is slated to air on May 17.

“Stay off the deep-dish pizza” Though Fox News is no stranger to controversy, the latest anchor under fire for a comment made on air is Chris Wallace.

On the radio show “The Mike Gallagher Show” on Friday, the anchor responded to host Mike Gallagher’s comment that Kelly Clarkson “[blew] up,” saying, “She could stay off the deep-dish pizza for a little while.” The 32-yearold singer and songwriter recently had her first child in June 2014 and recently released her seventh album, Piece by Piece.

While Wallace and Gallagher have since apologized for the comments, Clarkson commented on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” on Friday, “We are who we are. Whatever size, and it doesn’t mean that we’re gonna be that forever.”

Still fast and furious “Furious 7,” the most recent movie in the “Fast and the Furious” series was released Friday, before the box offices even closed Sunday and the movie had an unprecedented $143-million opening.

The amount easily surpassed last year’s record-holder for highestgrossing April opening, beating “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”’s $95 million. It has also made the highest opening this year, passing the $85 million made by “Fifty Shades of Grey” in February.

The 14-year-old franchise has had a rocky history at the box office, but with original cast members such as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin Diesel at the helm, the movies have seen a surge in popularity. The hype around the most recent film is also due in part to actor Paul Walker’s death in 2013, when the actor died in a car accident during the filming of the movie.

One Wildcat abroad

BY MADISON SCAVARDA The Daily Wildcat

A

nyone who looks at Melissa Conrad’s passport would classify her as a young world traveler. Indeed, Conrad, a public health junior, is becoming more and more familiar with life outside of the U.S. as she checks off different countries on the world map. From visiting Machu Picchu in Peru to climbing volcanoes in Chile, Conrad’s adventures abroad have taken her out of her comfort zone and into deeper, richer experiences with new cultures and people.

“Going into college, I already knew I wanted to do something internationally [and] health-related,” Conrad said. “I was so intrigued by other cultures, specifically Latin America. I knew that after I graduated from college, I wanted to be abroad — working internationally.”

Conrad said that between the summer of her freshman and sophomore years, she traveled to Trujillo, Peru, for two months with the nonprofit organization Vive Perú.

According to Vive Perú’s official website, the organization is dedicated to facilitating a culturally enriching experience that simultaneously benefits Peruvian communities in need through volunteer work in the areas of health, education, social work and engineering.

Although this was not a study abroad trip through the UA, Conrad said this first journey to another country fueled her passion and paved the way for her to go on future study abroad trips. “[Working internationally]

MELISSA CONRAD, a public health junior, on the Villarrica Volcano, in Pucón, Chile, on Nov. 14. Conrad has been on two study abroad trips to South America and will take her third trip this summer.

has always been a passion of mine, and so that’s what first led me to go to Perú,” Conrad said. “And after I did that for two months, I wanted to learn more. I wanted to see more of the world. Any opportunity I got where I could be abroad, I wanted to take.”

After a summer of being immersed in the culturally and naturally rich land of Peru, Conrad decided to pack her bags for an even longer trip. During the fall semester of her junior year, Conrad called the country of Chile her home. She found that many of her initial struggles abroad

led to some of her most cherished memories.

“As a foreign student and not knowing the people, not knowing the culture [and] only knowing the language very little, my favorite moment was meeting a church in Chile where I could connect with people, and I could learn about their lives,” Conrad said.

“I could genuinely build relationships with people through that church. … I was by myself most of the time, so meeting Chileans and just them welcoming me into their community, into their culture, into their lives — that was the best

moment of Chile.”

In addition to overcoming feelings of being an outsider, Conrad also tackled some physical challenges while in Chile.

“I hiked this active volcano,” Conrad said. “It took like six hours — all uphill on snow. When I looked at the mountain, and I looked at the volcano, I thought to myself, ‘There is no way I will be able to do that.’ I’ve never done anything like that before. But it was part of the program, and it really challenged me. … Doing that really pushed my limits and when I got to the top, I

[felt] like I [could] conquer the world, like … I could do anything. My personal growth through that whole [study] abroad [experience] was invaluable — more than the classes, more than school.”

Many students share Conrad’s desire to travel and see the world, but what really sets Conrad apart from her peers is her international attitude.

Conrad’s close friend and roommate, Brittany Trang, a public health junior, commented on Conrad’s kindness toward study abroad students in America.

“One [growth] I got to see carried out was her heart for Chileans and their culture,” Trang said.

“Melissa met a group of Chileans on campus who were at the end of their study abroad program over the winter. … She spent every day with them, fostering friendships. They still keep in touch.”

Conrad will get to add another stamp in her passport book this summer when she travels to Antigua, Guatemala, for seven weeks on another study abroad trip.

“Instead of taking classes, I’ll be completing my public health internship there,” Conrad said. “That’s the cool thing about study abroad opportunities, is you can really shape it into something that you want. I’ll be working in a public health setting.

Mostly, it’s going to be an observational learning experience where I can see how the public health system works in that country and learn as much as I can.”

Christian Laettner, the culture of hate in sports

BY ALEX FURRIER

The Daily Wildcat

I

don’t know about you, but I hate Frank Kaminsky. Due to his performance against the UA the last two years in the Elite Eight, I will be incapable of rooting for Kaminsky for the remainder of my life. Anything but an outpouring of contempt is unlikely. The “Frank Kaminsky” for all of college basketball, regardless of school allegiances, is Christian Laettner.

“I Hate Christian Laettner,” the latest in ESPN’s acclaimed “30 for 30” documentary series, attempts to answer the question: Why is this guy still vehemently hated over 20 years after his playing career ended?

Laettner polarizes fans into two groups: the Laettner apologists and those who hate him with the fury of a thousand suns. There simply isn’t any middle ground.

The most obvious reason for the backlash against Laettner lies in his Duke legacy. Laettner is Duke basketball distilled in human form. If Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski became a deity and breathed life into a basketball player made in his own image, that player’s name would be Christian Laettner. And who hates Duke basketball? Well, a lot of people. As a result, the Laettner Hater Club looms large.

The reasons to hate Duke basketball abound. Duke supporters preach about what they see as gritty, disciplined, team players. Others see white, privileged players who are not only boring and soft but also endlessly whiny.

“I Hate Christian Laettner” spends much of its runtime exploring the dichotomy of this phenomenon. Why do fans see players they assume are part of the “1 percent” when, in fact,

most players come from bluecollar backgrounds? Laettner himself came from Buffalo, N.Y., as the son of Polish immigrants.

This privileged reputation proved to be the least of Laettner’s problems.

Players such as Jay Bilas and Danny Ferry preceded Laettner as the prototypical Duke frontcourt player: a big white guy with a reputation for playing dirty.

Laettner arrived at Duke in the early ’90s. This was the heyday of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Runnin’ Rebels, an all-time great team whose players were mostly black. UNLV paved the way for the Michigan Fab Five, baggy shorts and the idea that basketball players could be a standard for cool.

Laettner and “cool” are not similar concepts. He did, however, upset the fan-favorite Runnin’ Rebels in the 1991 NCAA championship. With that championship, Duke had become The Institution. No one wants to root for the favorites, especially if they have the reputation of a dirty bully.

Laettner does not deny his reputation for playing a borderline dirty game and instead opts for the descriptor of “competitiveness.” Elbows played a key role in Laettner’s physical play, as evidenced by a gash to the eye of rival University of North Carolina center Eric Montross and an infamous physical retaliation by an aggravated University of Connecticut center Rod Sellers.

The incident most remembered involved Laetnner stomping on Aminu Timberlake in the 1992 Elite Eight matchup against the University of Kentucky.
