iPad a big hit at Bookstore By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Apple’s iPad was released into the American market on Saturday, a little more than two months after its lateJanuary debut, and the UofA Bookstore expects big sales for the device. The iPad, the larger counterpart of the iPod Touch and iPhone, comes with applications for personal photos, videos, notes, calendars, contacts and e-mail hosting. It also comes with widgets for Safari, iTunes, Maps, Spotlight and other programs. According to Daniel McConnell, a senior information technology support analyst for the bookstore, demo models and bursar’s accounts make the iPad especially accessible for students. “People can come in, they can touch it, feel it, pick it up and see what the big hype is about,”McConnell said. Also, for this week only, bursar’s accounts will be

reopened for students who buy iPads. “If students have bought an Apple computer in the past, they have until this Sunday, even if there is no (available) stock. If they put in an order this week when it does come in, they can use their bursar’s account,” he said. Through the UofA Bookstore, 15 iPads have already been shipped and sold with more shipments coming in daily. “The response we have gotten has been really positive,”McConnell said.“We’ve had a huge response.” Some students aren’t as excited about the arrival of the latest wave of Apple technology. “The iPad’s are stupid. I’m not getting one yet,” said Joshua Lee, a pre-engineering and German studies freshman. The owner of an iPhone and MacBookPro, Lee cites the lack of basic technologies as his reason to wait it out. This model is not 3G compatible, though

a 3G version will ship in late April. “I never buy first-generation Apple products anyway,” Lee said.“So, I’ll probably wait it out and see.” Despite some negative reaction, the UA is offering the iPad in limited quantities. Around Tucson, the new iPad seems to be selling quickly as well. The Tucson Apple Store in the Foothills on Skyline Drive was the first to sell the device, moving nearly 500 units within four days of its official release, according to management. The Best Buy on 575 E. Wetmore Road, one of four in the area to sell the device, has also seen very high sales. “We are selling huge,” said the store’s manager. He joked that, around the store, they have noted the iPad is like “moving from a wallet to a suitcase”, and

This is the first part of an Arizona Daily Wildcat series examining students of different faiths at the University of Arizona. The Daily Wildcat spoke with Catholic Christian students who were baptised and confirmed recently. Students gathered at the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center at the UA on Saturday to complete the transition to new lives as members of the campus religious community. Derek Hartzel, a history sophomore, grew up in a half-Catholic, half-Mormon home. Hartzel was baptized and confirmed into the Catholic Church on Saturday. “Though I was interested in baptism long before my leaving, my parents recommended that I wait until I was mature enough to make that decision for myself, which I now have,” Hartzel said. Pre-physiology student, Kali Christine O’Connor, was confirmed in the center on Saturday. “It probably appears strange that someone at the age of 18 would decide to become a part of a community that has been so well known for its traditional rules and obligations,” O’Connor said. “Wouldn’t a teenager find a more contemporary religion more appealing?” O’Connor attended a Catholic high school and was driven away from the church despite her pious upbringing. It was only after frequenting the Newman Center on campus that she returned to her religious roots. “I think it is custom and maybe a societal standard for parents to introduce their children to one faith or another,” O’Connor said, “and expected for those children to live their life in accordance to their family’s upbringing. But for me, I would say that choosing to become Catholic right now is only one step in my ever-growing faith.” CHURCH, page A3

Greek Breaking into the music business Life’s last chance By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

By Laura E. Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will meet tonight to hear Spring Fling presentation and a senate fund request. The senate is still unsure if a Greek Life representative will speak about the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act Resolution. Someone from Greek Life was expected to talk about the resolution at last week’s meeting, but no representative attended, so the senate tabled the item. “If a representative doesn’t come, we will strike the item,” said Executive Vice President Emily Fritze. ASUA has the power to delay an ASUA, page A3

For a majority of the 400 students in the College of Fine Arts School of Music, singing and playing an instrument is a primary focus. However, for some, like sophomore Joshua Cawthorne, the business aspect of music is more captivating. “I’ve been singing since I was 4 and playing guitar and violin for a while. I have also played in three bands around Tucson. In those bands, I’ve learned it’s hard going the way of the artist, and I really became more interested in the business of the industry,” she said. What started out as a class project for their Careers in Music class has brought Cawthorne, along with junior Brett Lashley and two other core members, together to create the nonprofit business and club, Wildcat Student Records. “We thought why not make this project accessible to everyone on campus rather than keep it inside the classroom,” Cawthorne said. Supported by music and careers instructor, Kelland Thomas, associate

professor of music, the club hopes to be a resource for students and musicians on campus who want to learn how to be in the music business. “There are all sorts of talented musicians on campus, and this club could provide the potential for amateurs to build up their resumes and gain real word experience,”Cawthorne said. “I want this to be a step-up for those wanting to know more about the industry and for artists looking to make a name for themselves.” As of now, the club has five members and meets once a week in the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center. “We are trying to put together a music festival that will take place on the (UA) Mall that will be a three or four day event with just local Tucson or university bands. We are also trying to get a scholarship and teaching program going for students,” Cawthorne said. Brett Lashley, the current treasurer of the club is hopeful for the clubs future as well. “Educational programs are of interest, and we want to expose current and incoming students to the actual

Pre-engineering sophomore What kind of dog is this? He’s a Pembrook Welsh Corgi. How long have you two been together? (Laughs.) He’s almost 4. His name’s Thomas Jefferson. How did we meet? Well we both like long walks and we met on an online dating service… Did you adopt him or raise him as a puppy? I got him from a breeder. There are plenty of horse farms around this area, so they use these dogs mainly for herding. Traditionally they’re herding dogs from England. I think it’s a crossbreed between a dachshund and a German shepherd. So they use them for sheep herding. I just thought they were really cool looking, you know? He’s got a big attitude, but he’s small so I don’t have to have a lot of space. At the time I had a small yard and a big dog is a lot of work. I had a girlfriend at the time, I jokingly said I wanted a dog and finally got one. How did you decide on a Corgi? I wanted something I could play with more athletically. I thought initially he might be able to run with me. When he was younger he was better. Now he’s good with short sprints. I kind of figured. He’s a pretty good little runner. I don’t like little lap dogs necessarily. He tries to be a lap dog, but then he has a big dog attitude. I had to get a mailbox because of his bark. There’s a mail slot next to my door and the mailman wouldn’t come up to the door because of his bark. He hears this big violent dog — I haven’t introduced him — but the mailman was adamant, so I had to put the mailbox next by the road. I’ve never had a dog in my life. My mom was allergic to fur animals. So the opportunity came and I was in a position to take on the responsibility. My sister has a small dog herself, and she tells me they often have personality quirks. He used to have separation anxiety but he’s over that. Now when he’s around he likes to be near you. Sometimes he’ll be leaning on you just to know that you’re there. He’s kind of like a little kid. (Thomas barks.) Stop it. I live with my sister now and she babies the heck out of him. When I’m gone she’s the “fun one.” When you sneeze, he, I don’t know, let me see if I can replicate this. (James fakes a sneeze into the ground. Thomas runs right into his face.) What the … ? (Laughs.) I don’t know if it’s the breath or the sneeze itself that excites him. So if you sneeze, I don’t know, he just makes sure you’re OK? … Maybe he thinks it’s a weird human thing. —Steven Kwan

LOS ANGELES — A 13-year-old California boy plans to try to climb Mount Everest in a quest to reach the summits of the highest peaks on all seven continents. If Jordan Romero succeeds, he’ll become the youngest person to conquer the world’s highest mountain. Jordan will attempt the ascent to 29,035 feet with his father and his father’s girlfriend, both experienced outdoors people who have helped train the teenager for top-level mountaineering. When Jordan was only 9, a school mural of the seven summits inspired his ambitious goal.

“I told my dad about it and he didn’t say no. He just explained the difficulties and what I’d have to do. We started training right away,”said Jordan, who was scheduled to depart for Nepal Monday night. At age 10, he became the youngest American to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. He’s steadily checked off four of the tallest peaks since then, including Alaska’s Mount McKinley, which many climbers consider to be a more technical climb than Everest. Despite his penchant for tall mountains and thin air, friends and family describe Jordan as unusually grounded for a

13-year-old. He said he understands the risks of climbing Everest, which kills climbers almost every year. “Mountain climbing requires a lot of mental training and making smart decisions. It’s a metaphor for life,”he said, sounding wiser than his years. The teenager’s planned Everest ascent is making the mountaineering community think hard about how young is too young to climb such a dangerous mountain. Jordan’s father, Paul Romero, said he wants nothing more than to make his son’s dreams come true. —The Associated Press

AG says Haim obtained 553 pills before death LOS ANGELES — Actor Corey Haim employed“doctor shopping” to obtain 553 prescription pills in the two months before his death, California Attorney General Jerry Brown said Tuesday. Haim obtained the meds, which included Valium, Vicodin, Xanax and Soma, through seven Corey Haim different doctors and seven pharmacies, Brown said, and he used an alias on at least one occasion. Brown said it did not appear the doctors knew Haim was obtaining prescriptions through multiple sources. He called Haim — the star of 1980s films such as “The Lost Boys” and “License to Drive” — a “poster child”for prescription drug abuse. He said that it wasn’t just celebrities who were obtaining massive quantities of prescription drugs through doctor-shopping. “We think it illustrates a problem that is more widespread,” Brown said. His office has pursued more than 200 cases statewide involving prescription abuse by both doctors and patients. Haim’s activities described by Brown Tuesday are separate from a fraudulenty-obtained prescription Haim may have obtained. That prescription for Oxycontin was found during an investigation into a ring that illegally obtained prescription pads and used the stolen identities of doctors to fill them out. Haim, 38, died March 10 after collapsing in his mother’s apartment. Haim struggled with drugs throughout his life. He was also suffering from flulike symptoms before his death. Coroner’s officials have said they found four prescriptions in Haim’s name in the apartment where he collapsed, and all were prescribed by a doctor treating the actor. Brown said the doctors who prescribed medications to Haim told investigators they felt duped. He said Haim was able to get the medications by complaining of specific symptoms, such as shoulder pain and that the actor also used emergency rooms and urgent care facilities to obtain the drugs. —The Associated Press

Device sells out around Tucson, $850 on Craigslist

that “every store in town who generated the iPad for the weekend sold them out.” Prices are similar in stores around Tucson, but even higher on popular sites such as Craigslist, where 64GB versions of the device were being hocked for as much as $850. There’s a high demand for the latest technology — The New York Times even reported that it will begin publishing daily articles on the iPad. It seems that McConnell’s view of the technology is a widespread one. “It’s a really cool piece of technology that is going to pick up really well,” he said. “Just imagine carrying that to class with you instead of a 5- to 10-pound laptop.”

Musicians hope to gain exposure

looking to be in the business. We are looking for graphic artists to help design flyers and album covers and aspiring agents to plan gigs and distribute CDs and such,” Cawthorne said. Students, like Justin Fanus, a freshman in the vocal studies program, said the club is a great way for hopeful musicians to gain exposure. “The club is something that definitely interests me and would interest other students I know. Tucson has such great local music and to showcase; it would be great,” Fanus said. With local recording studios charging upwards of $50 an hour for recording time, Wildcat Student Records hopes to make the club free for students.

“Funding is definitely needed right now. I’ve found that of all the things artists want, as a startup is a place to record so they can get their music online and out there for people to listen to. We have been having (a) hard time finding a record deal because studios charge so much,” Cawthorne said. Fanus said he wouldn’t be turned off to the club even with the possibility of charging a student fee for membership in the club. “The music industry is something I want to be a part of, so if I had to pay a small amount to get something big — that is something I would do,” Fanus added. Initially, the club had plans to operate as a business. However, as a

club, Hawthorne realized that they can receive funding through the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and other school affiliates. “The students involved have been showing a lot of initiative and entrepreneurial spirit that should be encouraged across campus,” Thomas said. With student members working essentially as employees, those involved stand to benefit from the promotion of their music and other art. As a business, Cawthorne said, there is less red tape that the club would have to work through when promoting their industry. Thomas said he’s excited to see the club prosper and considers the venture,“an exciting opportunity.”

Students ‘believe in universality of faith’

continued from page A1

Sister Diane Bridenbecker, a pastoral associate at the Newman Center who worked with the students undergoing confirmation and baptism, offered her opinions why some students wait until college to make a commitment to their faith. “Most of the students (who are confirmed or baptized) are college sophomores to graduate students,” Bridenbecker said.“Motives vary from now being in college and able to make their own choices, to a desire for a community of faith as support and guidance, to a desire for deeper relationship with God.” Bridenbecker emphasized the role

community involvement plays in students’ spirituality. “They find strength in community and in the celebration of sacraments which support and nourish their faith,” Bridenbecker said. The Newman Center, at 615 E. Second St., has served the Catholic student community on campus since it was built in 1926. Daily masses are held at the center at 5:15 p.m. “I believe in the universality of faith and that, regardless of which faith tradition you are called to, if any, you are free to answer that call in your own unique way,” Hartzel said.

Arizona sexting law

The Arizona State Legislature has been considering a bill to deal with the growing problem of sexting. (For the older alums and various troglodytes out there, sexting is a combination of “sex” and “texting” that is defined as the act of sending sexually explicit messages or photos electronically, primarily between cell phones.) After incidents in other states involving harassment as a result of sexting, tricky distinctions involving minors and rising questions surrounding what makes a sexual predator, a bill in the Arizona House of Representatives was delayed Thursday because lawmakers don’t think the bill appropriately addresses how to punish teen “sexters.” Currently, a minor who sends a scandalous picture to another minor can face a felony charge for sexual exploitation of a minor, even if the picture is of the sender himself. The House is justified in reconsidering this overly harsh punishment: even though the rights of minors’ are implied at best, becoming a felon for a picture you chose to take of yourself is unduly harsh. The bill currently being considered would change this punishment from a felony to a misdemeanor, which is an improvement, with the maximum punishment being up to four months in jail. Legislators are right to keep looking for the correct solution. To theoretically sentence a 17-year-old senior in high school to four months in prison for a picture she took of herself and sent, of her own free will, to a significant other is an overly harsh punishment. The state does have some degree of obligation to protect younger children from harmful sexual exposure, but it hardly warrants jail time. Assigning such harsh punishment to this non-violent crime will only serve to make its reputation more dangerous and, therefore, the activity more prevalent. The other options of punishment considered in the bill, such as probation and counseling, are a much more desirable option.

Unpaid internships

If you’re graduating or looking for a summer job and have a hard time understanding how anyone can afford to do an unpaid internship in New York City, or how that’s even legal, you’re not alone. As reported in Friday’s New York Times, the U.S. Labor Department is investigating the legality of unpaid internship programs at many major companies. Both this federal agency and many state officials are investigating whether companies are illegally using unpaid internships to gain free labor. These agencies are right to investigate the legality of this all-too-common aspect of internships, as many companies have been found to be in violation of the six federal criteria that make it legal for an internship to be unpaid. As the New York Times article explained, “Among those criteria are that the internship should be similar to the training given in a vocational school or academic institution, that the intern does not displace regular paid workers and that the employer ‘derives no immediate advantage’ from the intern’s activities — in other words, it’s largely a benevolent contribution to the intern.” Somehow, making copies and “putting in your dues” doesn’t seem like a “benevolent contribution” to anyone. As the article said, “To be sure, many internships involve some unskilled work, but when the jobs are mostly drudgery, regulators say, it is clearly illegal not to pay interns.” Unpaid internships favor those who can afford to work for free, putting those with student loans and less financial freedom at a career disadvantage. As the Times said, “While many colleges are accepting more moderate- and low-income students to increase economic mobility, many students and administrators complain that the growth in unpaid internships undercuts that effort by favoring well-to-do and well-connected students, speeding their climb up the career ladder.” There are other problems surrounding the unpaid status of most interns, including that “they are often not considered employees and therefore are not protected by employment discrimination laws,” according to Kathryn Edwards, a researcher at the Economic Policy Institute and co-author of a new study on internships. An entry-level worker, such as a current or newlygraduated student, should expect to work hard and not get paid much. Sometimes you have to, as the students quoted in the Times article state, “suck it up.” The job connections and work experience one gains in an unpaid internship may be invaluable, as employers claim, but the government is right to make sure students’ work is being valued and that they are being compensated as the law dictates. Regardless of whether interns are (as some claim) young, entitled, overpaid brats, companies should not be allowed to exploit them for free labor with the amorphous claim that interns must “pay their dues.” The companies violating these labor guidelines should pay their dues — in the form of paychecks to the hardworking interns who deserve them.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

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

MAILBAG Letters to the editor

If you like it then you shoulda put your name on it

During the last year I’ve noticed use of comments from dailywildcat.com in the daily Mailbag section of the opinions page. A distressing trend is the choice to include anonymously signed comments. In my opinion this practice is both unwise for the Wildcat and unhelpful to your readers. Consider the letter printed in the April 6th edition of the Daily Wildcat which slandered a Michael Crow of ASU. I do not know the man, nor had I ever previously known of his existence, but my impression of Mr. Crow after reading the letter was certainly cynical. After a few minutes of contemplation I realized that some person who intentionally wants to keep their identify and agenda secret, attempted to poison my impression of Michael Crow. Perhaps legally this isn’t actionable libel, but it sure felt like slander to me. A footnote at the bottom of the page states that online comments are not the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat. In the case of anonymous comments I think it’s quite natural to at least assume they are condoned by the editorial staff if not endorsed. Comments cannot be printed in a vacuum of responsibility. I often have the perception that the anonymous comments are of a character that one wouldn’t say in person to a group of strangers. The mask of anonymity gives license to say things with more vitriol, less candor, and in a manner that tends to be demeaning to those involved. This does not increase the quality of public discourse. Choosing to print such material increases shock value, but cheapens the quality of the newspaper. Of course, the Daily Wildcat already knows this, that’s why at bottom of the opinions page the guidelines for submitting letters read as they do. For the same reasons, my hometown newspaper, the Toronto Star, required a written signature in order to print a letter I had written. Please stop the practice of including un-attributable comments in the print edition of the newspaper. — Daniel Cormode Physics graduate student

meet the prerequisites, but somehow it is reserved for students from different departments and I will only get a seat if no one else wants one. Of course, my concerns about not getting a spot might fizzle if, come May, there is an open seat — but what if there isn’t? The Biomedical Science, Biology major attracted me because of its wide diversity in courses available to students. The degree seems to boast a wider variety of courses than most other science degrees, including classes from MCB, MIC, animal science, plant science, veterinary science, physiology, and of course ecology (the department that offers the biology major). Had I known that the wide spectrum of classes on my SAPR was more of an illusory element than actual classes available for me to take, I probably would have chosen a different major. And now, if I want to graduate on time, it’s too late to switch. Why did I say illusory? Many of the classes on my SAPR that are offered by other departments are shrouded by prerequisites that, instead of being put in place to ensure the adequate preparedness of students, are actually artificial barriers to prevent students from other departments enrolling in those courses. Those prerequisites are no where on my SAPR — so why is the upper division courses that that need those prerequisites on my SAPR instead? For many of the classes that do not have department-specific prerequisites, the classes are nonetheless reserved for students in the department and I will only get a seat if there’s one left after everyone else registers. In this economy, where classes become more and more crowded and harder and harder to find a seat in, how likely is it that students who get last pick for classes actually get the classes they want? I understand the need to reserve classes for people who really need them to graduate; there is no need for a humanities major to take an upper-division science class that is not in their degree, which in turn prevents a science major from getting a class they do need for their degree. Among science majors, however, if a class is listed in their degree than they should have just as equal a chance to take it as science majors from other departments. You might think I am an overly-pain-in-the-rear-student with unrealistic expectations. The budget is short; yes, I know. Sorry, I just didn’t foresee the unwritten disclaimer that, no matter how good my grades are and no matter how many credits I have, registering for classes in my degree would always be picking up leftovers. I recommend all advisers mark a bold asterisk with this kind of warning on all classes like this on students’ SAPR (which, for my major, happens to be a lot of classes). Otherwise, take it out of the degree and off the SAPR. — Sam Rogers Biology junior

It seems that UA has placed itself out of serious consideration for a young writer to attend. I find it interesting that this school paper also has a perhaps worse threat to comment writers: that they should self-censor or be“banned.” The fact that UA, which, by the way, is not particularly known in this world for its literary excellence, has determined that it knows how to judge the difference difference between “what has no socially redeeming value” and the works of George Orwell, Marquis D’Sade, Thomas Paine or George Bush, just to name a few writers, reason being perhaps one can assume, because we have entered an age of “terrorism”, makes it a place where talented writers with much to say, will decide,“I just don’t want to even go there!” — Anonymous Contacting police about a work of fiction is not censorship, it’s oppression. — Anonymous It is unclear to me whether this is an and/or ban. Are they saying students cannot write sexually graphic or violent novels that simultaneously reference others in the class? I think that would be reasonable. That’s a case in which the right to free speech would infringe on the rights of other students to have a healthy learning environment. If the issue is writing anything violent or sexual, regardless of who it references, or referencing anyone in class, regardless of content — that would be overly restrictive. — Anonymous

Men found with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;medicinalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marijuana

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage on Friday at 11:34 p.m. after someone reported that the smell of marijuana was coming from the top level. The officer found five men standing near the southeast staircase on the top level of the garage and could smell burning marijuana. The officer had the men sit against a wall while he searched the area. He found three small cigars with burnt marijuana inside. The men admitted to the officer that had been smoking the cigars before the officer arrived and that the marijuana was owned by all five of them. The officer also found an empty prescription pill bottle near the men, in which the marijuana had been. The bottle had a label from California that read for medicinal use only. All five men were arrested for unlawful possession of marijuana and were cited and released. The officer also filled out Code of Conduct referrals for the Dean of Students for each of the students. The 2.5 grams of marijuana and pill bottle were placed into UAPD property as evidence.

Vigilante cab driver catches shoplifters

A UAPD officer was flagged down in the parking lot of the Circle K at 977 E. Speedway Blvd. on Friday at 4:38 a.m. after a man said he saw another man in the process of stealing items from the store. A Yellow Cab taxi driver told the officer that he was inside Circle K and saw a man stealing food and stuffing it into his pockets. As the officer was talking with the cab driver, a man wearing a red Chicago Bulls jersey left the store matching the description the driver gave the officer. The man got inside a white Pontiac Grand Am parked at one of the gas pumps. As the man started to drive from the parking lot, the officer stopped him and saw that there were three other people in the car. The officer placed the man under arrest for shoplifting as he searched him. In the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pockets the officer found a container of Stax chips worth $1.99, a bag of Cheetos worth $1.98, a ham and cheese Lunchable worth $2.59 and Kraft cheese sticks worth $7.92. The officer did a records on the man, and two warrants from the Flagstaff City Court for obstructing court order and failure to comply were found along with a warrant from the Tucson Police Department for a violation of a promise to appear. The store clerk told the officer that one of the passengers in the car had been with the shoplifter and also tried to stuff a cold sandwich down the front of his pants but put the sandwich back after the cab driver spoke to him. The driver told the officer that he saw the man with the sandwich and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that if I were you.â&#x20AC;? The passenger in the car was cited and released for shoplifting. After the warrants were confirmed, the man was transported to and booked into Pima County Jail. The car was also impounded because the driver did not have a valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. Receipts for the items were taken and placed into property as evidence. Video surveillance of the store was also placed into evidence.

Cellar Bistro, yo ho ho

A UAPD officer was called to the Cellar Bistro at the Student Union Memorial Center on Friday at 1:57 a.m. after a police aide reported a suspicious man holding an unknown object under his sweatshirt. The police aide told the officer that man was holding the object under his sweatshirt with both hands and would not let go of it. He also kept looking around the area nervously. The officer asked the aide if he could see a gun or weapon and the aide said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, it could be.â&#x20AC;? When the officer found the man, he asked him to show him his hands. The man took his left hand from his sweatshirt, but his right hand was still holding onto the object. The officer told the man to put both hands behind his head. The man hesitated and as he lifted his hands, the object began to fall and another officer grabbed the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands. A 1.75 liter bottle, about three quarters full with Captain Morgan spiced rum, was found under his sweatshirt. The man did not have any identification on him and told the officer that he was under 21. The officer asked him if had drunk any of the alcohol from the bottle and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, almost half of the bottle.â&#x20AC;? The officer could smell the alcohol on the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breath, and the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech was slurred. The officer started to arrest the man for minor in possession of spirituous liquor and minor in possession in body, but the man said that he would not sign his citation. The man was then placed in handcuffs and transported to Pima County Jail and booked on all charges. A Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students.

Men admit to vodka shots

A UAPD officer was called to the entrance of the Coronado Residence Hall on Friday at 1:29 a.m. after someone reported four disorderly men who appeared drunk. The officer spoke with each man individually. The first man told the officer that he not been drinking but then said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to lie to (an) officer; I had some vodka at a small party off campus.â&#x20AC;? Another man told the officer that he had also had a few beers and vodka at the same party. He said he and two other men were visiting from California, and he did not know where the party was. The third man was a UA student and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truthfully, officer, I had a few shots of vodka.â&#x20AC;? A Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students for the man. The fourth man also admitted to having shots of vodka at the off-campus party. All four men were arrested for minor in possession and were cited and released.

DWsports Wise Softball makes pit stop at home Nicole Dimtsios Sports Editor 520•626•2956 sports@wildcat.arizona.edu

Nonconference UTEP provides tuneup for Arizona during Pac-10 play By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat In the heat of Pacific 10 Conference play, No. 2 Arizona softball gets a chance to do something it hasn’t done in nearly a month — play a series at Hillenbrand Stadium. After being on the road through 11 games: Judi Garman Classic, a series at New Mexico and a series at ASU, the Wildcats have a non-conference break today when they take on the University of Texas at El Paso Miners (26-12, 8-4 Conference USA) in a doubleheader at 4 and 6 p.m. “It is kind of different. I kind of forgot about it until I realized, ‘Oh yeah, we’re playing’,” junior Brittany Lastrapes said. “I think we’re all really focused onWashington. It’s kind of a weird week. I’m glad to get some at bats before I face Danielle (Lawrie) instead of having a week off.” The brief trip outside the conference is a buffer between Arizona’s previous series and this weekend’s series against the defending national champions Washington Huskies and the dominating pitching of Danielle Lawrie. For head coach Mike Candrea and Arizona (30-4, 2-1 Pac-10), any game action is good game action. In a conference that offers little relief weekend to weekend, the Wildcats are happy to have a chance to regroup at home. “I’d rather play then practice,” Candrea said. “It will be good for us to get some at-bats. It’s on the schedule, and we’re going to play it.” UTEP is led by senior Stacie Townsend, the most recent C-USA hitter of the week, who leads the Miners in the circle. She batted .750 in UTEP’s doubleheader wins against Southern Mississippi, and has recorded 249 strikeouts in 169 innings pitched. The C-USA second-place Miners are riding a three-game winning streak. Townsend isn’t the only batter that can get it done at the plate for UTEP. Junior Camillia Carrera leads the Miners with 33 RBIs and a .388 batting average. In comparison, the Wildcats have five starting players batting over .300 and two batting over .425. Historically, Arizona has had success against the Miners. Last season, the Wildcats took all three of the games against UTEP. Although the home matchup will give Arizona some momentum going into the weekend, the Wildcats know that the true test will come once they land in Seattle.

With 21 games left in the regular season, Fowler has the opportunity to break the 30-game victory barrier. If she succeeds, Fowler will be the first pitcher to do so since Taryne Mowatt in 2007, when she recorded a 42-12 record.

• The Pacific 10 Conference now boasts seven of their eight teams in the ESPN.com/ USA Softball Division I poll. Washington, Arizona and UCLA are in the top 5. • Brittany Lastrapes has been a powerhouse in the lead-off spot for the Wildcats. Her team-leading .450 batting average has given Arizona the momentum

to jump on opponents early and often. • Head coach Mike Candrea said that he will sporadically use Fowler in certain situations. Fowler has a .389 batting average and gave the Arizona offense a boost this weekend with her first career grand slam, and in Game 3 with ASU, went 2-for-4 with four RBIs.

Former men’s basketball guard Nic Wise continues his campaign to raise his draft stock this week at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament for college seniors. Wise joins about 70 other seniors and Pacific 10 Conference standouts Jerome Randle and Patrick Christopher of California, Dwight Lewis of USC and Landry Fields of Stanford. The Portsmouth, Va., tournament features 12 games from April 7-11 and includes a consolation bracket for the losers. The tournament is the last chance for Wise to improve his draft stock. “I think there were times when he was projected on mock draft, but when it came down to it, he was never really a bona fide draft pick,” Aran Smith of NBADraft.net told the Daily Wildcat last week. “I think he’s the kind of guy that will probably end up on a summer league team … I don’t see him being drafted.” Also competing will be Houston’s Aubrey Coleman, better known as the player who stepped on Chase Budinger’s face last season and sparked a pivotal run through the Pac-10. Tennessee’s Bruce Pearl will speak at a luncheon at the invitational on Friday.

Mejias-Brean takes leadership role on the field continued from page A6 Mejias-Brean attributed his early success to his ability to focus on only one sport, but also made it clear how much his multi-sport background helped him endure the bumps and bruises that come along with the lengthy college baseball season. Lopez was also intrigued by the athleticism and leadership that comes along with playing three sports. “I love those guys,” Lopez said of multi-sport athletes. “They’re competitive and they’ve been in a lot of pressure situations. He’s been a quarterback, a point guard and a shortstop. All year long he’s in pressure situations.” It’s been an interesting road for Mejias-Brean, but as is the case for a lot of athletes, all he needed was a chance. He’s solidified himself as the starting third baseman and has exceeded all expectations. After being overlooked during recruiting, Mejias-Brean entered the season with a chip on his shoulder, and it’s certainly translated on the field. “People were like, ‘Oh, he’s not going to do well,’” he said. “But you’re not supposed to listen to them. You’ve just got to go out there and do your best.” Mejias-Brean has done exactly that, and Lopez and the Wildcats couldn’t be more pleased. “I’m very, very happy with him,”Lopez said. “He’s a great student. He’s got a good mind. He’s easy to work with and with that he’s easy to make adjustments with in terms of his baseball mechanics and things of that nature … He’s got a very bright future.”

William Wycoff graduated in May 2009 with a degree in Management Information Systems & Operations Management. William came to the UA with a definite goal and clear intentions and followed through on those intentions without wavering. Determined to “Get my business degree in MIS and become a consultant,” that’s exactly what he did. We are especially glad to report that William credits Career Services’ Campus Interviewing with helping him most in finding his first job out of college. “I could apply for a large number of jobs and get a chance to interview with many companies. This was convenient and a lot easier than applying on a company’s Web site.” Hey! That’s what we’re here for. For William’s complete success story, go to www.career.arizona.edu, click on “News” for the articles archives and then filter (at the bottom) for Success Stories.
