OSAMA DEAD

Bin Laden, mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, was killed

by U.S. forces on Sunday after a fire fight in Pakistan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Four months before the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks that killed more than 3,000 Americans, President Barack Obama confirmed that the United States killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al-Qaida and mastermind behind the attacks.

Al-Qaida has also been blamed for attacks on U.S. embassies in Africa that killed 231

and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole that killed 17 American soldiers while the ship was stationed in Yemen.

Obama said he had been briefed last August on a possible lead to bin Laden’s location. Bin Laden had been in hiding since the attacks, resurfacing only via occasional videotaped messages.

After determining the lead was solid enough to move on, Obama approved an order for a

U.S. strike team to enter a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

Bin Laden was killed after a brief firefight. The team then took possession of his body and confirmed his identity via DNA testing.

No Americans were harmed during the operation.

“Today’s achievement is a testament to the greatness of our country and the spirit of the American people,” Obama said.

Thomas Bever Q&A

Gold stars for UA teachers

Linguistics professor honored by board of regents

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Thomas Bever, research professor of linguistics, was one of two UA professors confirmed as regents’ professors by the Arizona Board of Regents this semester. The position is awarded to professors who are recognized nationally or internationally in their field. Bever served as head of the UA Department of Linguistics from 1998 to 2002 and is known for his contributions to the field of psycholinguistics.

Bever will be inducted in the fall.

Daily Wildcat: When did you come to the UA, and what has your path been like since you arrived?

Bever: I came on sabbatical on 1994 to 1995, and I did something you’re not supposed to do.

I stayed. You’re supposed to go back to your home institution, but I negotiated that. I stayed because there are two very strong research groups here relevant to my research. One is a group that studies spatial navigation. Mostly at that time they were studying it in rats. I did some work on that before, but the university I was at did not have this kind of strength in the area … I completed a study (that showed) rats have differences in what the left and the right LINGUISTICS, page 7

By John Kuells ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Even after graduation, UAeducated teachers are receiving high marks.

Teachers graduating from the UA regularly meet or exceed expectations by the end of their first year of teaching, according to a survey of Arizona principals conducted earlier this year by the Arizona Department of Education.

Renée Clift, associate dean for professional preparation in the College of Education, said the data helps to reaffirm that universitybased teacher preparation is “valid, useful, and important.”

“We were just ecstatic to see the results,” Clift said. “I just think it speaks very highly of our teacher preparation programs on campus.”

Clift said the exceptional faculty and a system that puts students out of their desks and into real-world teaching environments strengthens career preparation in the UA College of Education.

“We put our students out in schools for two or three semesters prior to student teaching,” Clift

From cancer patient to nurse One student’s journey to the UA College of Nursing

By Michelle A. Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Rebecca Rillos/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Michelle Thomas, a first-year nursing student, practices taking blood pressure on a dummy patient at the College of Nursing in University Medical Center. Thomas decided to become a nurse because of the nurse who cared for her when Thomas was a cancer patient at UMC 10 years ago.

INSIDE Opinions: Police Beat: Odds & Ends: Classifieds: Comics: Sports:

Michelle Thomas pores over medical notes, her eyes intently switching from book to book as she types. As she shifts on the couch, part of a 5-inch scar peaks out of the back of her camisole just below her left shoulder blade. She grabs a book from her room, walking past the laundry basket where her scrubs are hanging on the side, rumpled after a day in clinical class.

Ten years ago, Michelle was in the University Medical Center as a patient in the pediatric cancer ward. She wanted to be a doctor before she got sick, but on those nights where the chemotherapy treatments made her vomit violently,

it was her nurse’s soothing hands on her neck, not the doctor’s.

Elizabeth Kamp, or “E.B.,” started working at UMC in 1990, just months after Michelle was born and 10 years before the two would meet.

“I was her nurse when she was a patient there, and right away I knew she was just this remarkable kid,” E.B. said.

Many hospitals discourage nurses from getting personally involved with their patients, but E.B. believes, in the cancer pediatrics ward, that’s impossible.

“E.B. was my favorite nurse,” Michelle said smiling at the memory. “At that point I wanted to be a doctor. I went from saying I want to be a doctor to being like, ‘No I want to be like her.’”

COMING TOMORROW

Michelle went through two rounds of chemotherapy treatment, lost her hair and 50 pounds. She was already skinny for her age, but now she looked like a skeleton. When her doctors believed she was healed enough, she went through more tests, one of which found a spot on her lung. Doctors performed a thoracotomy, an incision in the side of her chest, to biopsy the lung. What they found was cancer. Michelle had two more rounds of chemotherapy and one round of radiation.

E.B. stayed with her and her family through it all.

NURSE continued from page 1 but the nurses heal the patients,” Michelle said. “A doctor might come in and say ‘OK sir, this is what’s wrong with you and this is what we’re going to do because this is the best line of treatment for you.’ But the nurse is the one that when the doctor walks out of the room that everyone looks to her, or him, to explain what the doctor just said and to say it’s going to be OK.” E.B. was part of Michelle’s support group in Tucson but back in Winslow, Ariz., Michelle’s hometown, the entire town rallied around her family during her treatments.

They held benefits to raise money to help her family and some donated personal leave days to her father so he could stay with her and make the five-hour drive to UMC every time she became ill.

“I was that kid with cancer,” Michelle said about the years after she went into remission. “But they only remember because everyone in Winslow made such a big deal about helping my family out, so whatever.

I can take it.”

The people of Winslow had no doubt that Michelle would get better. People would walk up to her parents, hand them a check and tell them to put it away for college. That fund allowed Michelle to go to the UA for pre-nursing, and even all the way to

Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Michelle spent half of her junior year in South Africa. While studying just outside of Cape Town in a small college town, much like Tucson, Michelle was also preparing for her UA College of Nursing interview.

It’s 5 p.m., in four hours the interview will happen. Sitting at her desk, alone, Michelle recorded her practice questions and responses. Stop.

Rewind. Play. She listened intently to her responses, analyzing and adding.

New question. Record. Stop. Rewind.

Play. It’s 8:48 p.m., Michelle is pacing around her room, watching the clock.

She’s nervous. What if the Internet cuts out? Turn. What if the number I have isn’t the right one? Turn.

8:59 p.m., Michelle sits down and Skypes into the interview. She’s the first one to call — always the overachiever. As she sits in baggy sweat pants and a sweatshirt, a knot forms in her stomach. One of the interviewers remembers her from before Michelle left, and made plans for the call. Michelle begins to relax. She has an advantage.

Another girl calls in. She’s in California for her sister’s wedding.

Well, South Africa beats that.

Five minutes go by, the third girl hasn’t called in from Tennessee. Bad first impression.

First question: “How do you plan to handle the rigorous workload of the College of Nursing?”

Um, what? That wasn’t in the practice questions.

“I bombed that first question,” Michelle said, laughing. The rest was smooth sailing.

At the end of the interview, Michelle logged off the computer and lay on her bed, drained. “Oh my God. It’s over. It’s out of my hands.

If they accept me, they accept me.

If they don’t …” Michelle thought, staring at the whitewashed ceiling in her South African apartment.

Two weeks later rumors went around that acceptance letters were out. Michelle saw the email from the College of Nursing just as her Internet cut out. Not now! She opened the email. Please see .pdf for admittance information. Loading.

Loading.

A grainy image appears. Loading.

“Oh my God I got in!” Michelle screamed the phrase over and over as she jumped on her bed in those same sweat pants. Her South African boyfriend, Gaston, hopped on the bed and started jumping with her, both yelling and smiling.

The UA College of Nursing accepts 53 students in the spring, and 53 in the fall each year. Out of more than 300 applicants, Michelle was one of 53 who received that .pdf.

“People wait on waiting lists forever, but there are so many other programs where you can get your nursing degree and come out being a great nurse as well,” said E.B., who graduated from Pima Community College’s nursing program in 1994.

In Arizona, overall enrollment in nursing colleges has increased each year, with a 137 percent increase since 2001, according to data from the Arizona State Board of Nursing.

Nationally, nursing is the largest health-care profession, with more than four times as many registered nurses as physicians. For future employment, nursing has the largest job growth in the United States.

Now Michelle is studying at the UA College of Nursing. She hopes to work with pediatric cancer patients in UMC, and be the nurse comforting the child who’s throwing up and miserable like she once was.

“What I’ve noticed so far in my clinical experience, is the nurse is the one who makes the difference in the patient’s life,” Michelle said.

“I think she will do well in the profession,” E.B. said of Michelle’s future in nursing. “Her history will help, and going through, she’ll have a lot of empathy for patients.”

Every semester, the clinical professor asks her students why they chose nursing. Many in classes were influ-

enced by a particular nurse or had become ill at a young age and spent time in hospitals.

“It’s hard work. It takes a certain personality to do the job because it is, like I said, physically and emotionally demanding,” E.B. said. “But I think the reward of just getting to care for people, making them better, establishing these great friendships that you have, it’s worth it.”

Water runs down and Michelle is washing and cleaning every bit of a patient who has lost the ability to do so herself. Most patients are bathed every other day. There’s a certain smell to them. Not a bad one, just dull sweat. You get used to it. The woman’s red hair glistens. She’s feisty and Latina. Michelle likes her.

The water stops and Michelle and another student help the woman stand so they can dress her. She’s extremely unstable and it takes both of them to keep her upright. This is the first time Michelle has moved a patient.

“Am I ready to do this? What if she falls? What if?”

She’s back in her wheelchair.

Whew.

“There are moments when you are like — this person is depending on me so if they fall or hurt themselves, it’s my fault,” Michelle said. “What ifs are freaky.”

Nurses work in 12-hour shifts, three days a week, and their days are never the same. Oncology nurses, like E.B., begin at 7 a.m. with reports and doling out medicine, and

then begin the constant flow of doctors writing new orders, getting lab reports, blood transfusion, chemotherapy and running up and down halls to take care of patients.

As a first-year nursing student, Michelle and her classmates have clinical days where they get to interact with hospital patients.

“It’s so exciting, because we actually get to do what our profession is,” Michelle said, describing her favorite part of nursing classes.

“Even the gross stuff, you’re like, ‘Hey do you want to go change a catheter bag?’ and of course no nurse wants to, but as students we’re all excited so we grab a friend and head over.”

As Michelle closes her notes and listens to the sound of the printer print page after page of her 10-page study guide, she checks Facebook and chats with Gaston who’s still studying in Africa. The two have started discussions on where to live after Michelle graduates.

One of the biggest struggles that the state of Arizona faces is that the students who study and graduate from Arizona face very few job prospects within the state. But nurses who choose to practice in Arizona have ample opportunity to work and make more money hourly and annually than the national average.

For now, Michelle is focusing on passing her next test.

Disabled people struggle to find accessible housing College of Medicine will offer advice for those in search of adaptive housing

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT One of the unique challenges of having a physical disability is finding suitable housing. It is a challenge that Helen Wheels knows all too well.

Wheels, 48, has a rare disease called hereditary spastic paraplegia and uses a wheelchair to get around.

A significant issue facing many disabled people her age is that they do not have family to rely on for housing and do not have anywhere to live, Wheels said. For the past year, she has been searching for a wheelchair-adaptive home, apartment or assisted living. There are many disabled people on waiting lists, including Wheels.

“I am severely disabled and I don’t have family, so I need to set up financial things to protect myself as I get worse and die,” she said.

To help combat this challenge, the UA College of Medicine’s Sonoran University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities, has held a series of six workshops, which will end with the final workshop today from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The workshop will be in the Herbert K. Abrams Public Health Center in room 2102.

The workshop, “Creating Real Homes for People with Disabilities,” will also have a video conference that airs in Phoenix, Flagstaff, Yuma and Sierra Vista.

“It will be a lot of information and strategies, particularly for fam-

TEACHERS continued from page 1 said. “Our faculty are bringing in teachers and residents to support our program, and I think the fact that our folks are engaged in practice in schools many times prior to student teaching is just an incredible strength.”

Ron Marx, dean of the UA College of Education, said he thought that the amount of time students spend in a real-world teaching environment has contributed greatly to career preparation and success.

“Our students spend a lot more time actually in schools preparing to be teachers. … A minimum of a half of all of our teacher education in our various programs in the College of Education are in actual schools.”

ilies who have family members with developmental disabilities, to look at how they can create housing that responds to their needs,” said Leslie Cohen, the director of the UA center.

Wheels said she wants a home that is approximately 900 square feet because she has found that she needs more space than she has now.

“When your bottom is stuck in a wheelchair you actually need a little bit more room, not less,” Wheels said. “So they try to put us in 500 square feet and wonder why we can’t have a life.”

There is not always room to have furniture or even get around the bed, she said. She wants to have a place for a washer and dryer rather than having to go “clear across the compound.” It is impossible to go through doors and carry a basket

without spilling the clean clothes, Wheels said.

The informational workshop discusses finances, housing location and accessibility. Families will also be talking about options they have explored for their disabled family members.

Wheels said it is the simple things, such as extra space to move and turn around, having counters that are low enough to access and bathrooms that are adapted, that so often get forgotten.

“The realtors here in Tucson are so ignorant,” Wheels said. “I talked to the president twice and they got angry with me for pointing out the lack of literally adaptive housing.”

She said she tried explaining to them that disabled people just want to be able to do their own laundry, cook their own meals and have more room to move around.

“All these people are making apartments, but nobody is looking into making them wheelchair adaptive,” Wheels said. “Not accessible, adaptive is the proper term.”

In Helen’s situation, it is hard to find an adaptive apartment, said Lynne Tomasa, the research coordinator for the UA Sonoran center and an assistant professor of family and community medicine.

Tomasa said housing is an important issue and it keeps people integrated in the community.

“The whole goal is to allow individuals to have some quality of life,” she said.

Marx also said that the crucial components on which the UA focuses in preparing successful teachers are the thorough comprehension of content and learning how to successfully educate students.

“There are two coequal pieces. …

That’s one thing we do in our program is try to make them really balanced in terms of content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge,” Marx said.

This was the first year the Arizona Department of Education conducted this survey.

The UA College of Education conducts its own survey with students each fall and spring, in which the most recent results indicated that more than 90 percent of students would grade their program courses with an “A” or “B.” Marx said he believes that the survey was done as a response to criticism of

university-based teacher preparation.

“I think we in the education field are reacting to public criticism and they wanted to see if that criticism was defensible or not,” Marx said. “This data seems to indicate that principals believe by and large teachers, and certainly our teachers, are well prepared to do their work. I think their motivation was to get data to answer that question.”

Clift said that the exceptional results are helping to invalidate a national argument as to the validity of university-based teacher preparation.

“I think this is one first step at not griping about the critics but getting data to answer the critics,” Clift said.

“I know I’m going to take the information and send it to people I know in Washington to say … here’s the facts.”

Demonstrating some semblance of good sense, Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed another firearms bill on Friday. Senate Bill 1201 would have allowed guns in public buildings or required those buildings to be secured with metal detectors and armed guards. These buildings included places like libraries, community centers and government-owned pools.

In an explanation of the veto, Brewer said the bill had “too many loopholes and flaws” to sign into law. Brewer “has a long and very strong pro-Second Amendment record,” said her spokesman, Matthew Benson. “But these bills, in her view, just took the state down the wrong path.”

Charles Heller, a spokesman for the Arizona Citizens Defense League, which supported S.B. 1201, told the Arizona Republic, “I don’t know what’s gotten into her.” It’s far too optimistic to say logic has gotten into Brewer, but the veto was commendable all the same. For that, Brewer gets a solid pass.

After a prolonged debate about his origins, President Barack Obama released his birth certificate for the crazies.

Obama also unveiled his “birth video” at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday night. “As some of you heard, the state of Hawaii released my official, longform birth certificate,” the president joked.

“Hopefully this puts all doubts to rest, but just in case there are any lingering questions tonight, I’m prepared to go a step further.”

Obama then played a clip from the opening scene of Disney’s “The Lion King.” He then clarified to the Fox News table “that was a joke, that was not my birth video, that was a children’s cartoon.” For cleverly poking fun at his most irrational critics, and for making light of one of the most ridiculous rumors to come out of a presidency, a pass goes to the president.

The third annual Tucson Tea Party pulled in 2,300 people on Saturday, according to Tucson Tea Party co-founder Trent Humphries. Humphries told the Arizona Daily Star that he expected the event to lose money because it was intended to raise awareness.

Speakers included radio hosts Jon Justice and Garret Lewis and author Andrew Breitbart. Also in attendance were former and current Republican candidates, including mayoral candidate Ron Asta and former U.S. representative candidate Ruth McClung.

Kevin Herring, an attendee, also told the Star “(the Tea Party is) always very spirited, very warm and very friendly,” he said. “It’s just people helping each other.

It’s a very positive atmosphere.”

That’s why Breitbart’s 25-minute speech was punctuated by roars from the crowd in between his telling sheriff whatever-his-name-is (Clarence Dupnik) and “channels 2, 4 and 7” (news media) to go to hell. Breitbart also referred to the mainstream media as “evil” and “at war with us.”

Sounds neither helpful nor healthy, but certainly “very spirited.” Still, a fail goes to the Tucson Tea Party for throwing an event to “raise awareness” of a mass temper tantrum.

At last week’s forum on mental health, called “A Delicate Balance: Creating a Better Post-Jan. 8 System to Protect the Public and Help the Seriously Mentally Ill,” U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ district director, Ron Barber, spoke.

Barber’s remarks emphasized the importance of funding for mental health care and awareness of mental illness.

Barber, who was shot in the Jan. 8 shooting that also injured Giffords and several others, warned listeners that violence and mental illness should not automatically be associated with each other. “Going forward from Jan. 8, we must shed light on these erroneous beliefs that violence and mental illness go hand in hand,” Barber said. Barber also said that “there is no shame and no stigma attached” to mental illness, which was why, he said, it was important for him to share that he had been diagnosed and treated for post-traumatic stress disorder.

For sharing his own personal struggle in an effort to reach out to others, a pass goes to Ron Barber.

Failure of campus gun bill based on flawed logic Rising tuition out of step with family income The guns on campus law that recently failed may have raised the crime rate, but that’s only because it would only have allowed guns near campus, not in the hands of their owners, meaning that they could easily be stolen by irresponsible criminals. Allowing guns on campus would not raise campus crime. Having researched this topic thoroughly for an English paper, I’d like to address some erroneous assumptions made about guns on campus.

Assumption #1: College students are too irresponsible to carry weapons on campuses. Some students drink, or smoke, or speed or engage in a dangerous combination of all three. My notebook is green, my roommate’s notebook is green. Does that mean all notebooks are green? This argument is an insult to those who already passed background checks, and weapons testing, which allowed them to carry their weapon in the first place. College campuses are not bubbles which immediately make responsible people who step inside irresponsible.

Assumption #2: Allowing guns on campus would increase campus crime rate. Campus crime rate is already rising. Banning guns on campus has failed to decrease campus crime rates. As I said, college campuses are not “bubbles of irresponsibility,” so just because a student has a gun, it doesn’t mean they’ll use it.

Assumption #3: Guns detract from a safe learning environment.

The law would allow concealed carry on campus. If a student isn’t intending upon using his gun, then it will most likely remain hidden, and no one need be afraid of it. If someone is intent upon using his gun, then it will not remain concealed long, and it would be a good idea for that person to be gunned down before he shoots thirty people, because campus police cannot be everywhere at once.

I do not believe that we should abandon allowing guns on campus based on false assumptions. Before writing off the idea, let’s take a quick breath and think about the concept’s more realistic aims. Think about it: 100 million handguns are owned in the US. The Supreme Court has repeatedly said that citizens are responsible enough to carry guns. Why are we continuing this rampage against the legal right to bear arms?

Colleges are raising tuition and fees much higher than the inflation rate and qualified students are losing out on higher education. According to the biennial report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, college tuition and fees have increased 439 percent from 1982 to 2007, while median family income only rose 147 percent.

So, the government needs to appropriate funds correctly in order to slow the rising of costs. In addition, the colleges and universities could help this cause by distributing their money better, and not spending on ‘resort style’ dorms, luxurious gyms and gourmet dining halls. Adorning their campuses with not-so-glorious monuments symbolizing the change towards their uni-economic, uni-ethnic student body.

But everyone is entitled to learn and get an education, though with the rising of costs it is becoming an impossible task. Those new gyms won’t increase efficiency in the classroom, but they will bring in the “cash cows” from across the country that can help them lower costs. But still, tuition continues to rise, so instead, this proposal of the government appropriating more funds would immensely help the controversy of higher tuition and costs of higher education institutions. But the same problem remains.

Tuition and costs of higher education institutions are rising exponentially, while families are going into debt in order to provide their children with a better future. But if the government appropriated more money to higher education institutions, they wouldn’t have to keep raising their tuition and costs by so much.

Overall, this frightening issue is feeding into our culture of consumerism, and is slowly validating that it’s OK to pay ridiculous amounts of money for education.

T

he royal wedding this last week was the perfect display of what goes wrong when popular culture overlaps with news. It’s bad enough that we call that horrid network Fox “news,” but now an incredibly wealthy guy marries a woman and it’s news? For about a week the only thing news shows seemed to cover was what Kate would be wearing. Would it be Alexander McQueen or someone else?

Naturally, the suspense was killing us all.

Meanwhile, arguably the deadliest natural disaster in the U.S., since Hurricane Katrina, was thrashing its way across Alabama and enjoying back seat coverage.

Never mind the numerous Americans displaced by the horrible tragedy in the south, a rich, royal British guy found himself a wife. Not only was the coverage sickening and downright annoying, it was utterly confusing.

Why in the world does anyone outside

of Britain care? This sort of thing belongs on Entertainment Tonight, not any legitimate news channel. One shouldn’t wake up wondering what in the world is going on in Alabama, and hear a reporter breaking down the newlyweds’ first kiss. There are Americans hurting here, that’s a story we should care about. Moreover, have we completely lost sight of the devastation in Japan?

People are still trying to pick up the pieces over there too. So where is that story?

It was made abundantly clear back in the late 1700s that the United States does not, and ought not, care about the British royal family.

We told King George to shove it back then.

Why do we care about their wedding now?

I could understand it being a big deal in Britain, at least from a cultural standpoint, but why do glitz, glam and extreme showings of extravagance, like a multi-million dollar wedding, get priority coverage over the real life suffering of fellow citizens?

Pop culture has always enjoyed the

spotlight, because for some it is an escape from the overwhelming reality. Nonetheless, this has gone on for too long and has traveled too far. When Britain’s pop culture is spilling over into the United States, we’re really grasping at straws for entertainment.

It is actually quite shocking that this is entertainment to begin with, but, nonetheless, it’s entertainment. While it’s incredibly painful to call this news, as it is in the form of human interest, it is certainly not headline, takeprecedence-over-American-causality news.

Entertainment and pop culture spillovers have distracted us, rather than soothed, from the truths and pressing matters of reality. At least there are some who can hold their heads high in regards to the natural disaster. The state, local and federal governments have made sure to address this matter promptly, unlike our past fumblings with Hurricane Katrina. At least the citizens of Alabama feel as if they are being paid attention they deserve from the government.

If only the rest of their fellow citizens would get on board. However, if the news media continue to bow down to drivel like this and parade it on the front pages, you can bet we’ll continue to forget those in agony.

Abaca Press/MCT

Prince William and Kate Middleton share a kiss on a balcony at Buckingham Palace after their wedding in London, England, on Friday.

McClatchy Tribune The bride didn’t show up for the royal wedding in a meat dress (she wore Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen) or a levitating egg (she went with the Rolls). A halfdozen channels provided coverage, but Ricky Gervais did not host on any of them (although David Beckham appeared to have borrowed his haircut.) Elton John did not sing, save the requisite hymns, and no one thought to demand Prince William’s longform birth certificate. The music was amazing, the little bridesmaids and footman were adorable and well-behaved, no vows or names were mangled, nothing fell or ripped or burst inexplicably into tears or flame.

In other words, the marriage ceremony of Britain’s Prince William and Catherine Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, occurred precisely as planned, defying leaden London skies and a cynical modern age to provide a glimpse of the solemn and brilliant pageantry now mostly consigned to myth, and the inexplicable faith we apparently still have in love and marriage.

And for the 15 minutes it took for the bride to enter the church and the two attractive young people to exchange their vows, it was lovely and touching, and when they departed in their open carriage with all the queen’s horses and all the queen’s men in attendance, it was spectacular. But mostly the hoopla was a lesson in just how many hours some of the highest-paid television journalists in the world can spend discussing a bridal dress they have not seen while watching people they do not know mill about in Westminster Abbey wearing in large hats.

Far too many.

TV coverage of the royal wedding started at 2 a.m. EDT on Fox, which carried Sky News for two hours before going live; the other networks, including CNN and MSNBC, joined in around 3. This meant that the three hours before the ceremony actually started had to be filled with something, and that something turned out to be, not surprisingly, a mash-up of Oscar coverage, the Tournament of Roses Parade and sheer desperation.

Matt Lauer offered up fast facts about Westminster Abbey like Bob Eubanks rattling off the rose-petal and celery seed count of this next float, while BBC America, as if trying to prove it is not stuffy no matter what you’ve heard, read from tweets and Facebook postings before introducing irrepressible historian Simon Schama. On ABC, Barbara Walters wondered whether or not “we” could call William’s bride a princess even though she is technically a duchess, with Diane Sawyer agreeing that yes, of course “we” could.

Even CNN’s Anderson Cooper conceded to monarchy lover Piers Morgan that it was “cool” to see the queen in person. “I’ve spent most of my life trying to escape this sort of thing,” he added, which raises the question: What sort of thing? Parades? Queens?

Weddings?

Occasionally, someone attempted to inject some non-dress-related tension to the proceedings — Katie Couric (who brought the collective salaries of American anchors speculating about the nature of Middleton’s dress to more than the cost of the wedding, and possibly the GNP of Britain) opened the CBS coverage with a long clip of Prince Charles’ and Diana Spencer’s wedding day, which may not have been the right note, considering the outcome. Noise was made about the fact that John Major was the only former prime minister at the ceremony — Margaret Thatcher was too ill, and neither Tony Blair nor Gordon Brown are knights of

the realm — and that Sarah Ferguson had not been invited when the rest of her family had, but no one really cared about the politicos or expected Fergie to be anywhere near the wedding.

Even Al Roker’s reminder that “our thoughts and prayers are with our friends in the South” fell flat; back on the parade route, Lauer and Meredith Vieira made sympathetic noises and then Lauer quickly pointed out where the volleyball competition would be held during the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Amid the endless dress speculation, everyone involved in the ceremony — the dean of Westminster Abbey the head of the horse guard, Kate Middleton’s longtime hairstylists — was interviewed, as were representatives of the teeming thousands who had camped out, some for days, in the hopes of glimpsing the couple and/or the royal family. On Thursday night, Princes William and Harry did come out and walk among the crowds to chat and make sure everyone was warm and had enough snacks.

On Friday, the princes were the first to move, making their way to the Abbey, slowly followed by the rest of the wedding party, culminating with the queen, resplendent in marigold and then, at long last but dead on time, the dress, inhabited by a young woman who appeared not just surprisingly calm but actually happy.

Indeed, the best part of the whole thing may have been the quick and easy smiles the about-to-be Duchess of Cambridge exchanged with her groom and his brother as she took her place at the altar. William and Kate certainly seem to like each other, so maybe this one will stick. And neither the dress, nor the pomp and circumstance, will have anything to do with it.

policebeat

By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat

Caught her ridin’ dirty

A UA employee witnessed a woman attempting to steal a bicycle on April 26.

At 5:32 a.m., a UA custodial services supervisor called in the theft to the University of Arizona Police Department.

According to the employee, she saw a woman hitting a bike lock with a hammer outside of the Shantz building.

The employee yelled at the woman to stop and warned her that she was calling the police.

Immediately, the woman stopped hitting the lock, got on a white road bike and left the area.

The woman was last seen riding south on Santa Rita Avenue.

Several UAPD units checked the surrounding area but could not find the suspect.

A UAPD officer arrived at the Shantz building and found the bicycle the woman had tried to steal on the rack.

The lock, while still locked and intact, had visible damage that seemed consistent with being struck by a hammer.

The officer left a note with the case number and his phone number on the bicycle in case the owner wanted to file a report with UAPD.

Fight club failure

An argument over marijuana possession resulted in a fight between two Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall roommates on April 25.

At 8:17 p.m., a UAPD officer, upon arrival, met with one of the students and the resident assistant.

According to the student, a previous incident with police had occurred in the room concerning marijuana.

The student’s roommate blamed him for the original incident and because of this, the student packed his belongings to move to another room.

Around 10 minutes prior to police showing up at the hall, the roommate returned to the room from a boxing class at the Student Recreation Center.

When he arrived, he acted “hyped up,” causing the student to feel as though the roommate was looking for a fight.

He tried to provoke the student several times, saying, “So, you want to call me a bitch? Say it to my face.”

Instead of confronting his roommate, the student continued packing his belongings.

While packing, the roommate cornered and struck him in the face, with a closed fist, above his left eye.

He fell backwards, and the roommate continued to hit him in the head and body.

The student tried to fight back but was struck 15 times on the ground.

A non-UA affiliated friend witnessed the entire incident but did not intervene.

After the assualt, the roommate immediately left the room.

After talking to the office, the student’s injuries were photographed and the roommate was contacted.

He said that he started the fight with the student because he got into trouble because of the marijuana the student had in their room.

The roommate claimed that he had only told him to fess up and was attacked by the student; but when he showed the officers the wounds, the officer noted them as faded and old.

The roommate was arrested for assault resulting in minor injury and was transported to Pima County Jail.

Swimfan finds student’s car

A threatening message was left on a female UA student’s windshield on April 25.

At 10:51 p.m., the student met with an officer in the UAPD lobby about the suspicious activity.

She parked her vehicle in the parking lot south of the Science-Engineering Library at approximately 3:45 p.m.

About four hours later, she returned to her car to find a letter, written in blue ink on white college-ruled notebook paper, tucked under her windshield wiper.

“Bitch, you need to stop talking to my man,” the letter said. “I know where you stay … Don’t try me bitch you African slut, get a life and your own dude bitch!!!”

When the student first read the note, she did not think much of it and thought a friend might be playing a prank.

She ripped the letter into several pieces and told her sister about the note.

However, her sister insisted that she report the incident to UAPD. She kept all the pieces and the ripped letter was placed into UAPD property as evidence.

The student had no idea who would have left the letter because she is not currently involved with anyone. She told police that her last romantic interest was a year prior in Phoenix.

Though she said she did not have any known enemies, she felt concerned because the writer of the letter referenced exactly where she lives and knew her car.

The officer advised the student to check Facebook for any unusual activity or other forms of electronic communication.

Studying the night away New survey says students believe energy drinks will boost their GPAs

By Samantha Munsey ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Thirty percent of students believe using energy drinks and supplements when studying improved their test scores and GPA , according to a survey done at Boise State University.

Research paid for by these products has also shown to extend studying time for students a least an extra hour.

“I need it for the caffeine,” said Robert James Dillon, an undeclared freshman. “If it’s late at night, it helps me stay awake when I study.” An energy drink contains 80 to 141 milligrams of caffeine per 8 ounces, this is equivalent to a 12 ounce can of soda or a 5 ounce cup of coffee,

according to the survey.

For an added energy kick, energy drinks contain “boost” ingredients including taurine, guarana, ginseng, ginkgo biloba and B vitamins. The combination of theses ingredients blocks the effects of adenosine, the brain chemicals involved in making you sleepy. This tricks your body into believing you are in an emergency state and causes the release of adrenaline, making your eyes dilate and heart beat faster.

“Having a rapid heart rate for any reason is not a good idea,” said Debra Cox-Howard, a clinician for wellness at Campus Health Service.

Cox-Howard explained that some of the most common

LINGUISTICS continued from page 1 hemisphere of the brain does that are, of course, not identical to human differences but have some formal similarities, so that was of interest. …

Now, the main focus of my research is the differences in language processing in people who do and do not have familial left handedness. You might say that’s a silly thing to be interested in, but the reason is we’re just beginning to being able to understand something about the genetics of left handedness, and this might give us some of the details of how the brain organizes itself as a function of the genetic structure an individual has during maturation.

What sparked your interest in language?

I had very supportive parents with respect to intellectual curiosity. I read in a Boy Scout book about various projects you could engage in, and one of things you could do was go out and dig in the yard. And if you’re quick about it, you can dig up an anthill.

So I did that literally in our backyard in Cambridge, Massachusetts. And you put it into a big jar … and you cover it so that the ants think they’re underground. They don’t know what happened — to them, this is like a cyclone. Fortunately, I managed to get the queen — that’s the most important thing.

These are carpenter ants, and from their

symptoms of consuming energy dinks for a long period of time includes trembling, cramps and headaches. Energy supplements that only contain “boost” ingredients can also produce the same results.

“This can have an adverse effect where you go in to take a test,” Cox-Howard said. “Your body is so wired up that you are not able to think properly.”

Other stimulants students may consume to help study for longer periods of time include taking prescription medication like Adderall.

When used properly, Adderall can suppress symptoms for patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Students take the drug as a

way to concentrate for longer periods of time.

“The real basic answer is that it is a stimulant,” Cox-Howard said. “A lot of students feel like if they take that medication when they are getting ready to study for finals that they will have the ability to concentrate and focus more.”

According to Cox-Howard, people who abuse this medication or take Adderall without a prescription can feel side effects including insomnia, increased blood pressure and heart rate, shortness of breath and significant weight loss.

“You really don’t know how that stuff is going to affect you,” said Sayra Arias, a public health sophomore. “If it is not

prescribed to you or you’re taking it the wrong way you can harm yourself.”

Cox-Howard says that one of the best ways to study without the use of energy drinks or pills is to learn for shorter periods of time and to take breaks.

“When you get up and give yourself a break and walk away from what it is you are studying, your brain is still processing that information so you are not losing anything,” Cox-Howard said.

She also suggest getting a good amount of sleep and planning study time in advance can also help improve your test results.

“Not waiting till the last minute is the best way to study for a final,” Cox-Howard said.

standpoint, the universe is bounded by this hard substance, so they build their tunnels right up against the glass. You take the cover off and watch them run around. … Then I watched them.

I got interested in their behavior. When they would meet, there’s this magic moment when the two antennae wiggle at each other and then they go on and do whatever they’re going to do. And it seemed pretty clear to me, it’s seems less clear now, but it seemed clear that they were communicating. And I got very interested in that. And that stuck with me. I was 11 years old at the time.

What’s the most exciting thing you’ve been a part of since coming to the UA? My intellectual perspective starts with the concentrated, structural study of language.

Language is a mishmash of individual facts like the meanings of particular words but also systematic study of syntactic structures.

There seem to be some universals of syntactic structures. … One of the things we’ve been working on is learning models of language acquisition as problem solving. We think of the language a child hears as a problem, a puzzle. It’s probably one of the hardest puzzles that’s universally learned. … It’s one of the hardest puzzles that kids have.

One of the things we’ve been doing is looking at language learning and language acquisition from that perspective, that to some extent language is an instance of the general excitement that people have when they solve a problem.

Donation creates new letterpress studio

By Brenna Goth Arizona Daily Wildcat

The legacy of late letterpress artist Jack Sinclair survives in the new School of Art studio that formally opened on Saturday.

Students, faculty and community members celebrated the grand opening of the Jack Sinclair Letterpress Studio with an open house featuring food, music and equipment demonstrations. The studio was created after the school received Jack Sinclair’s three letterpresses and 10 cabinets of materials, filled with materials such as type and ink from his wife, Nancy Sinclair, who attended the opening with her son.

The school previously owned two letterpresses, which were housed in a small room, according to Karen Zimmermann, associate professor in the School of Art. Around the time the equipment was donated, the building on 1035 E. Mabel St. became available and was converted into a studio.

The School of Art and the Book Art Collective club offer letterpress-printing courses. Students have access to the studio to incorporate letter pressing into their projects.

“It’s a really old technique of printing that’s laid by hand,” said Jena Ochoa, a visual communications senior, who passed out letter press printed bookmarks during the event. “It’s time consuming but really nice.”

Zimmermann contacted Jack Sinclair several years ago about donating his letterpress equipment but later lost contact, she said. She met with Nancy Sinclair last year after learning he had passed away.

Nancy Sinclair decided the UA was the right fit for his equipment.

Rebecca Rillos/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Robert Wilson, right, a graphic design sophomore, talks about the new letterpress to Tom and Marilyn Lindell on Friday. Fifteen tons of letterpress equipment were donated by Nancy Sinclair to open the studio.

Students helped transfer the equipment from her home in Albuquerque, N.M., last semester.

“I think this is exactly what he wanted,” said Nancy Sinclair after touring the studio. “This is his dream of where he would have wanted his equipment to go. This is contributing to teaching young people and to people making art.”

The additional equipment will allow the School of Art to expand

its course offerings in the subject, Zimmermann said. She said the facility also provides a space for students to collaborate.

“It’s very empowering because they can make their own things,” Zimmermann said. “They have a community here.”

Alice Vinson, who graduated from the UA in December and will return in September as a studio art graduate student, uses let-

ter pressing in her book art. She said she likes the physical aspect of the art as opposed to working on the computer.

“With these, there’s body movement,” said Vinson, who demonstrated how to use a centuryold press. “It’s a whole different world.”

The new studio and equipment are marked improvements from the previous studio, Vinson said.

“It was like a closet,” she said about the old studio. “This is huge. I love it. We all love it. We get to share the experience.”

Nancy Sinclair said she was happy to give her husband’s equipment a second life at the university. It was sitting in her backyard after his death, she said.

“Both of our needs were very complementary,” Nancy Sinclair said. “It found a home.”

John Paul II beatified in Vatican City ceremony MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS VATICAN CITY — Before hundreds of thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square, the late Pope John Paul II was beatified Sunday in a ceremony that declared him “blessed” and put him one step closer to sainthood.

The audience erupted in applause when the Pope Benedict XVI recited the words that elevated his predecessor, whose huge portrait was then unveiled over the doorway of the basilica.

A choir broke into a chorus of “Amens” as some in the crowd wept. The French nun whose healing from Parkinson’s disease was called a miracle performed by John Paul presented Benedict with a reliquary containing a vial of the late pope’s blood, which will become an object of veneration.

The beatification, just six years after John Paul’s death on April 2, 2005, was the fastest in modern times. Benedict waived the usual five-year waiting period before the lengthy canonization process is supposed to begin, a decision that some have criticized as hasty and political.

But the devotees who thronged the square and the streets leading into it dismissed such criticism, focusing instead on the positive legacy of a man who stood up to communism, traveled the world to renew the faith and survived a 1981 assassination attempt.

“He was admired as a saint when he was alive,” said Beata Klepacka, 31, a doctor who came to Rome from London with her family to attend the ceremony.

Rain and gray skies from the previous day gave way to sunshine Sunday morning as pilgrims from around the world streamed into St. Peter’s Square. Flags and banners marked out groups from as far away as South Africa and Brazil, the world’s most

populous Roman Catholic country.

Huge crowds built up in the streets around Vatican City as police closed off the square, which was already fully packed hours before the ceremonial Mass began at 10 a.m. Ambulances and rescue officials carried away those overcome by the heat or by the crush of people.

Benedict wore in the vestments of his popular and charismatic predecessor, whose papacy lasted 27 years. Flanking the pope on the basilica’s portico were cardinals and other high-ranking members of the Vatican hierarchy. Several foreign heads of state also attended, including Robert Mugabe, the controversial president of Zimbabwe.

The ceremony is likely to provide a morale boost for the Catholic Church, which has been rocked in recent years by allegations of sexual abuse by priests. Various investigations have uncovered systematic abuse in Catholic institutions around the world, as well as efforts by some church officials to cover up what happened and shield perpetrators from criminal punishment.

One victims’ rights group said it would spend Sunday distributing leaflets outside churches in seven countries asking congregants to pledge to report suspicions of abuse to civil authorities. Many abuse victims say John Paul did little to deal with the problem and that his beatification adds insult to their injury.

Critics also condemn his close ties to Marcial Maciel Degollado, the Mexican founder of the powerful order Legion of Christ, who was found to have abused seminarians and fathered children.

Beatification is the last step before full sainthood. To achieve that status, John Paul must be determined by the Vatican to have performed another miracle besides the curing of the nun with Parkinson’s disease.

Disaster, loss at every turn in wake of tornadoes MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The scope of devastation left by the second-deadliest tornado blast in U.S. history continued to emerge Saturday as stunned survivors combed the wreckage of homes churned into matchsticks and aid workers and volunteers struggled to get food, water and generators to thousands displaced across seven Southern states.

Hundreds who spent the night in emergency shelters hastily erected in hardest-hit Tuscaloosa, Ala., scoured the remnants of their homes and businesses for photos and keepsakes, mostly in vain. Many returned dispiritedly to the shelters, where the first federal relief teams were handing out application forms for temporary housing and reconstruction aid.

The death toll across the South climbed to 345, according to state emergency services, exceeded only by a 1925 storm sweep that killed 747, the National Weather Service reported.

Some of the displaced in towns throughout the region couldn’t make it back to their property to assess their losses because of security roadblocks and downed power lines. Kendra Coleman, her husband and three sons, were turned away as they tried to return to their three-bedroom apartment in Pratt City from the downtown Birmingham shelter where they had been sleeping since Wednesday.

At the shelter, Coleman said they were not permitted to shower and her boys were beginning to tire out.

“They tell me ‘Momma, I wanna go home,’ and I just want to cry,” she said. “Because I have no idea where home is anymore.”

The American Red Cross has opened 16 shelters across Alabama, taking in about 900 of the newly homeless, said spokesman Chris Osborne.

Eqecat, a disaster risk assessment operation, estimated the region sustained as much as $5 billion in insured losses alone from the tornadoes.

On Saturday, Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox said 39 people were confirmed dead in the area. Although 454 people were reported as missing to authorities, officials cautioned that many have likely been reunited with family or friends. About 30,000 people

remained without power, but dozens of generators were being moved to the area to provide electricity to the shelters and makeshift dwellings cropping up to house those made homeless by the disaster.

About 1,000 National Guard troops and a mobile relief operations center were on their way from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Maddox said.

The Obama administration continued its aggressive response to the disaster as five Cabinet officials prepared to tour the damage and recovery efforts Sunday in the hardesthit states of Alabama and Mississippi.

“Our top priority is to support the states and communities affected by this as recovery efforts are underway,” said Craig Fugate, administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, who was already in the region.

FEMA said it has deployed incident management teams in five states struck by the deadly storms — Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky and Tennessee. The agency also has set up a support base in Maxwell, Ala., to help move water and other supplies to the affected areas.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has sent survey teams to the region to assess and analyze the damage. And the Nuclear Regulatory Commission continues to monitor the situation at the Browns Ferry nuclear power facility near Athens, Ala., which lost off-site power Wednesday night because of the storms. The plant’s reactors were safely shut down using backup power.

The first memorials for some of the dead were planned Sunday for four University of Alabama students killed by Wednesday’s tornadoes, the university’s student newspaper, the Crimson White, reported. It also reported two other student deaths at Stillman College and Shelton State.

The wreckage inflicted by the storms prompted the university to end the spring semester early and send students home, said university spokeswoman Cathy Andreen.

Students will have the option of forgoing final exams and keeping their current grades, and commencement has been postponed to August, she said.

“Lately, I’ve been working on my curveball and I threw it for the first time in a couple weeks (Saturday),” Littleman said. “Now I’m just trying to pound the zone. With that big lead, it got me more comfortable and relaxed me.”

Every player in the Arizona starting lineup had a hit and scored a run in the blowout of the Trojans (18-25, 8-10) Pac-10, and Rob Refsnyder drove in five runs. The Wildcats also scored more runs Saturday (20) than in their previous two Pac-10 series combined (16).

“It’s nice to have a game like this,” Refsnyder said. “It’s nice to go on a roll.

Konner (Wade) did a good job establishing everything.”

After clinching the series win on Saturday, the Wildcats entered Sunday with a chance at their first weekend sweep since March 1921 against San Francisco.

Arizona ace Kurt Heyer started Sunday’s game after throwing more than 100 pitches against ASU on Tuesday, and was visibly tired — allowing five runs on nine hits in just 5.1 innings pitched, but Arizona was able to chip away at an early USC lead to take the series finale, 8-5. “(Starting Heyer) was a roll of the dice,” Lopez said. “I woke up this morning and said, ‘It’s not going to be that easy today.’

We were bringing him back twice in 11 days, and that’s not going to be normal for any of these guys.”

Though Lopez gave Heyer credit for taking the ball on Tuesday and bouncing back to throw again on Sunday, Heyer wasn’t looking for any moral victories. “(Lopez) said I battled out there, and as much as I like to think that, it just wasn’t my day today,” Heyer said. “At this point in the season, I need to be a lot more focused.”

to prove people wrong. One more example of it.”

Elmore will take that chip on his shoulder into what Brooks Reed called “a perfect situation for him.” He’ll be able to learn the outside linebacker position — where he’ll be switching from defensive end — from two-time Pro Bowler and friend Clay Matthews, as well as heralded outside linebackers coach Kevin Greene.

“I’m just happy I ended up on such a good team with such a great coach and it’s going to be a great opportunity to start my career,” Elmore said.

Elmore isn’t sure what number he’ll wear or the type of opportunity he’ll be given with the Packers, but his goals are set high and he knows what he can offer the defending Super Bowl champs.

“Somebody who has a lot of heart,” Elmore said as he described himself. “A blue collar type of guy. Somebody that won’t be outworked.

“Realistically I want to get in there and help the team out any way I can off the bat. I want to eventually win another Super Bowl and get to the pro bowl and I think that’s a possibility because of how hard I work.”

Elmore is ready for the workload the NFL commands, but he may not be quite ready for the Green Bay weather.

The Southern California product said he’s never been in the snow or seen snow, which will change drastically soon enough.

Reed joked that Elmore, “Can’t wear his board shorts and sandals anymore.”

But Elmore replied, “I’m still going to be rocking it.”

just gonna get it done.’”

Head coach Mike Candrea was encouraged by the effort that his pitcher gave on Sunday and hopes it is a sign of things to come.

“I’m just proud of her. She was put in a tough situation, but that’s why I gave her a scholarship. I’m not gonna sit here and protect her. There’s some growth that needs to happen, and it’s happening maybe a little slower than I wished. But I thought today she deserved that victory.”

At this point, Fowler’s status is still unknown and Babcock says she expects to be the only pitcher in the Wildcats’ visit to UCLA. For Candrea, the problem with the team is still in its attitude.

“We’re missing someone that if I was taking about a football team, someone who I’d grab the mask and say ‘We need you right now.’ And we just don’t have that. We have a lot of nice kids.

But you know what nice is. When you’re competing, sometimes you have to have a little fight and a little fire.”

After slipping past the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots — who both were reportedly interested — Reed received a call from Texans head coach Gary Kubiak.

“He said ‘Are you having a good day?

It’s about to be better,’” said the 6-foot-3, 263-pound Reed.

Although it’s been a few days, Reed said it still hasn’t sunk in that he’s an actual NFL player.

“I really won’t get that feeling until I put that uniform on and I’m playing,” Reed said. “Playing against (Peyton) Manning and company, that is one of those moments where you’re like ‘Yeah, I’ve really made it.’”

So now that Reed’s made it, what will be his first big purchase? Reed called himself “cheap” and low maintenance, so all he wants is a truck that actually works well.

“Maybe a car but not even a really nice car,” Reed said with a laugh. “My truck now doesn’t even shift into fourth gear. It’s a liability.”

Chambers watch

more classes to complete before graduation, but school is on the backburner as D’Aundre Reed finally achieved his dream despite his limited opportunities as a Wildcat.

“He’s a guy that is going to work his butt off every day,” said former teammate and new member of the Houston Texans, Brooks Reed . “He never complained about not starting. I’m really happy that a team picked him up and recognized his skills.”

Stacie Chambers hit a three-run home run in the first inning. She is now one shy of tying Arizona’s career home run record set by Laura Espinoza in 1995.

Candrea shuffled the lineup once again, returning to his old batting order on Saturday and playing Matte Haack at designated player and Ashlee Brawley at shortstop on Sunday.

Brawley was 3-3 in the game with three singles and one run.

D’AUNDRE REED continued from page 16

“Weird” Al Yankovic received a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture. He also served as valedictorian of his high school at age 16.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

69% of UA students have had oral sex.

(2010 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,391)

Q Can you get an STD from oral sex?

A. Yes, you can. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can be contracted through oral sex – whether it’s a “blow job” on a guy or “going down” on a woman. Herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea are just a few of the infections spread by oral sex, and you can’t tell if someone has an infection or not. The Herpes Simplex virus can be readily transmitted in skin-to-skin contact even when sores are not visible.

Of recent interest is the growing body of research, indicating that Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), particularly Type 16, is now the main cause of most oral cancers (not tobacco and alcohol as in the past). HPV is spread through direct contact with the skin, genitals, mouth, and anus.

Does this mean you shouldn’t have any sex (oral or otherwise)? No. But the research indicates that both women AND men (ages 11-26) should get vaccinated against HPV. Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines are extremely effective in preventing the strains of HPV (types 16 and 18) that are strongly linked with cancers of the cervix, penis, anus, and now, mouth.

Other STIs may be spread during oral sex

but are more commonly passed via vaginal or anal intercourse. These infections include hepatitis B, syphilis, HIV, and HPV (genital warts and cervical dysplasia).

Exposure to semen, “pre-cum,” blood, or vaginal fluid increases the chance of getting an STI. Both the giver and the receiver can be at risk. Reduce your STI risk by using a flavored condom when performing oral sex on a man or using a latex dam (a very thin 5" x 5" square that lays over the vulva) when going down on a woman. Dams can be used for oral-anal sex, too. Buy them at Campus Health or online.

If reading this gets you worried about what you’ve done in the past, take action. Find out your STI status. You can get confidential, convenient tests at Campus Health, Planned Parenthood, or Pima County Health Department. For more info on STIs go to www.ashastd.org or www.health.arizona.edu.

ON THE SPOT Ben’s Belles

RECYCLE

WORTH NOTING

Antoinette Leah Are you depressed that the royal wedding is over?

I actually am. I wish that there was one every week. I have been non-stop watching E! Which celebrity wedding are you looking forward to most?

I would say Reese and her new guy, but I heard they eloped.

How do you feel about eloping?

Everyone dreams of their perfect wedding, especially little girls, but I would elope somewhere exotic like in Africa or Thailand, like on an elephant or something. I would do that for sure.

How do you feel about Criss Angel, the magician?

I am kind of indifferent.

He seems weird. I would not want to be caught in a room alone with him. I don’t know how I feel about disappearing.

Do you believe in at love at first sight?

Um, I don’t believe in love at all.

Why not?

I have been in love too many times to believe in that. I believe in magic and Criss Angel more than love at first sight. Let me know one person who you know is happily married to the person they saw on the street.

Match.com is the most pathetic invention ever.

Where did you get your *NYSNC T-shirt?

The concert, girl! Actually I might have gotten this at Hot Topic, (laughs) I was scared to go in the store at first.

Female boxers train at Ghazi National Olympic Stadium in Kabul, Afghanistan, on April 15. Coach Mohammad Sabir Sharifi hopes his team of female boxers will show the world the new face of Afghanistan at the 2012 Olympics.

Naked golfers want a course of their own

France is known for fine food, high fashion and great wines, but, now, an 18-hole clothing-is-notan-option golf course is giving America’s naked golfers a real reason to be envious.

La Jenny Naturist Course, on France’s west coastline, is the only golf course in the world where nudity is not only allowed but a must.

The 22-acre course has only six holes, but they include four par 3 holes and two par 4 holes and a water hazard. There’s also a large putting green and a golf pro ready to show guests how to swing that club.

FAST FACTS • Researchers have developed

odorless socks. The sock fabric is made by attaching molecules that contain chlorine, called halamines, to textile fibers.

• Each year, more than $1 billion is spent on neck ties in the U.S. • Many early sewing machines were destroyed by mobs or workers who felt their jobs were threatened by automation.

• The first fashion house was established in 1858 by Charles Worth. He opened this store in Paris with the idea of having pre-made gowns pre-

There are a few rules that aren’t found at other courses.

According to Oddity Central, golfers must remove all clothes before walking on the course and they are only allowed to take photos of their family and friends. Oh, and any kind of sexual activity on the course is a “non non.”

La Jenny is the only course of its kind in Europe, which makes it popular on the continent.

It also makes golfers like Susan Weaver jealous.

Weaver is the president of the American Association of Nude

Opinions Editor Kristina Bui Design Chief Olen Lenets

Recreation and she wishes there were more nude golf courses in the U.S. “I don’t know of any full 18-hole golf courses in the U.S.,” Weaver told AOL Weird News. “There are two nude courses that I know of — one in Willamette, Ore., and one in Kissimmee, Fla. — but they’re both chip-and-putt.”

Weaver says there are a lot of nudists who like to golf and is hoping to convince a real course to at least hold a clothing optional tournament.

Koby Gray Upchurch/Arizona Daily Wildcat Outfielder Karissa Buchanan connects with a pitch in Arizona’s 12-6 loss to Oregon on Saturday night at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Wildcats won Sunday’s game to avoid the sweep, but Arizona is currently just 8-7 in the Pacific 10 Conference and 1-5 since pitcher Kenzie Fowler went down with a concussion.

By Tyler Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat What once looked like a promising season for the Wildcat softball team has rapidly gone downhill.

Arizona is now 1-5 since Kenzie Fowler went down with a concussion against Washington, leaving the team with only Shelby Babcock and a group of emergency fill-ins in the circle.

Until Sunday, the Wildcats were unable to put together a complete game against Oregon.

When Babcock held the Ducks to two runs on three hits on Friday, the Wildcats were unable to muster a single run in support. When the team managed six runs on Saturday, Babcock surrendered six of her own before being replaced in the sixth inning.

Sunday was a different story, as the Wildcats jumped out to an early 5-0 lead, which they never relinquished in a 7-6 victory.

With the loss on Saturday, the Wildcats had their first five-game losing streak since April of 1991, before any of their eight national championships. In fact, that 1991 campaign would end up in Arizona’s first National Champions banner.

Babcock started every game of the series, throwing an even 400 pitches on the weekend in 19 innings of work. She recorded 14 earned runs in the series.

Despite her six earned runs on Sunday, Babcock showed signs of improvement. In the top of the seventh she recorded three straight outs getting Oregon’s Monique Fuiava to ground into a double play and striking out

Kailee Cuico to end the game.

Babcock had previously struggled in the seventh inning, allowing three lastinning victories in her last five games.

Taking the mound with a one-run lead and 385 pitches on her arm was certainly not an ideal situation for the freshman pitcher, but she was able to earn the win.

For Babcock, it was simply a matter of buckling down and deciding to end the game.

“Of course it’s in the back of my head that seventh innings have not been my greatest in the past,” she said. “And I just got on the mound and was like, ‘I’m sick of this. And I’m sick of giving up runs. And I’m sick of walking people. And I’m just gonna do it. I’m

The theme for Arizona’s weekend series with Southern California was change.

The pitching rotation was overhauled, the lineup was shuffled and the entire team wore its pant legs up — leading to Arizona’s first series sweep in Pacific 10 Conference play.

“That was obviously a very good weekend,” head coach Andy Lopez said. “I don’t think we’re a bad club. We struggled a little bit out of the chute, but no one’s going to ask what your record was in April and March if you finish strong in May.” Arizona (27-16, 9-9 Pac-10) kicked off the weekend in walk-off fashion, topping USC 4-3 in 10 innings. Kyle Simon, who started the first series-opening game of his career, threw 6.1 innings while scattering nine hits and allowing three runs.

The Wildcats tied the game on a Cole Frenzel RBI single in the 8th inning, and Matt Chaffee threw three scoreless innings leading to the bottom of the 10th.

Bryce Ortega led off the extra frame by being hit by a pitch, and then advanced to second on a Frenzel sacrifice bunt. Johnny Field blooped a single to right off of former high school teammate Brandon Garcia, giving Arizona its third walk-off win of the season.

“He just threw me a two-seamer that ran in on my hands,” Field said. “I didn’t hit it good at all, but I’ll take it.”

Although Field ended the game against his ex-teammate, he isn’t going to rub it in — at least not yet.

“I won’t call him right away,” Field said.

“That was my first walk-off hit in college, and it’s pretty fun that it came against Brandon (Garcia).”

Saturday’s game was a different story.

Arizona reached a new season-high for runs scored, winning 20-4. Freshman Konner Wade got his first start in Pac-10 play and allowed 4 runs over 4.1 innings before giving way to sophomore left-hander Vincent Littleman, who allowed just three hits over 4.2 scoreless innings.

Three Wildcat defensive ends selected during the weekend in the 2011 NFL Draft Stories by Mike Schmitz and photos by Mike Christy Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior Ricky Elmore was selected in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. Elmore led the Pacific 10 Conference in sacks in 2009 and 2010.

Elmore selected by Super Bowl champs

Senior D’Aundre Reed was selected in the seventh round of the NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings.

Reed, who rotated with starters Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed during his career, will compete for playing time at defensive end and contribute on special teams for the Vikings.

For a player who’s been overlooked his entire football career, it was only fitting that Ricky Elmore had to wait through 196 picks before learning his NFL fate.

“I was waiting all day,” Elmore said.

“I thought I was going to go a little earlier than I did so it was getting a little stressful.”

But when the Green Bay Packers finally selected the former Wildcat in the sixth round, all of the weight was lifted from his shoulders as Elmore landed with the defending Super Bowl champions.

“They said you want to be a Green Bay Packer and I was like, ‘Hell yeah I can’t wait,’” Elmore said of his phone conversation when he was drafted. “They were like, ‘We like what you do. We’re going to take you next.’ It was crazy. I can’t explain it. It was a surreal moment.”

Elmore admitted he and some of his 50 friends and family members watching from his Simi Valley, Calif., home broke into tears.

“It’s really emotional when you sit there with all your family and friends there,” Elmore said. “It’s something you’ve been waiting for your whole life.”

While Elmore said he was grateful to be drafted at all, he did admit that falling to the sixth round is just another source of motivation to continuously prove people wrong for overlooking him. Despite leading the Pacific 10 Conference in sacks in 2009 and 2010, every team passed on Elmore more than once, which only adds more fuel to a fire that’s been burning since he was underappreciated at Arizona.

“It’s not what happens or where you get drafted, it’s where you end up 10 years from now,” Elmore said. “Another reason

D’Aundre Reed lands with the Vikings D’Aundre Reed spent his entire Arizona football career playing in the shadow of fellow defensive ends Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore.

Despite his sculpted frame and starter-quality skills, D’Aundre Reed never had the chance to lead the Pacific 10 Conference in sacks like Ricky Elmore or earn first-team AllPac-10 honors like Brooks Reed.

But in the end, D’Aundre Reed’s film and combine numbers spoke for themselves as the Minnesota Vikings selected the 6-foot-4, 261-pound defensive end with the 12th pick in the seventh and final round of this year ’s NFL draft.

The former Wildcat pass rusher sat through three days, six rounds and 214 picks before hearing his name called, but it was well worth the wait as D’Aundre Reed and 20 of his friends and family members rejoiced in his sister ’s Temecula, Calif., home to celebrate a life-long dream coming full circle.

“When I got the phone call, I was relieved and excited at the same time.

My heart dropped, I was so excited,” D’Aundre Reed said. “It’s indescribable. An amazing feeling and another step closer to my dream.”

He wasn’t planning on his dream starting in Minnesota, however.

The St. Louis Rams, Washington Redskins and Miami Dolphins were all in contact with D’Aundre Reed throughout the final round and assured him that they would select

him if he was available.

But with the Vikings on the clock, D’Aundre Reed’s phone rang and Minnesota — the last team that worked him out — became the first destination in what he hopes to be a long and successful NFL career full of, “great pass rush, great run defense and hard-nosed football.”

While Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore will switch to outside linebacker at the next level, D’Aundre Reed said he will wear No. 92 and remain at defensive end in the Vikings’ 4-3 defense.

“I’m excited because I’m already used to playing defensive end and I get the opportunity to do whatever I do best,” he said.

D’Aundre Reed said he expects to fight for playing time and contribute on special teams right away.

What’s he looking forward to most?

“To try to tackle Adrian Peterson,” he said.

Elmore and D’Aundre Reed will also transform from teammates to divisional rivals as both the Vikings and Green Bay Packers, who drafted Elmore in the sixth round, play in the NFC North.

“That should be interesting,” D’Aundre Reed said with a laugh.

For now, the once-third wheel defensive end will return to Tucson on Wednesday to work out with UA strength coach Corey Edmond until the lockout is lifted. He still has two

Senior Brooks Reed was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Reed will play outside linebacker for the Texans.

Brooks Reed lands ‘perfect’ situation

From the opportunity, to the Arizona ties, to the team colors, Brooks Reed couldn’t have landed in a better situation when the Houston Texans selected him with the 42nd overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Not only will Reed have a chance to start as a rookie outside linebacker, he’ll also have a mentor in former UA teammate and secondyear Texan Earl Mitchell, while continuing to sport the Arizona red and blue.

“It’s perfect, man,” Reed said. “I have an opportunity to start right away, and (Mitchell) will show me the ropes and how to act around all the vets and practice and whatnot. We’re friends and we’ll be lifting buddies again.”

Although he’ll be playing a new position and wearing a new number (58), Reed is expected to be a key cog in Houston’s new look 3-4 defense that features former Southern California standout Brian Cushing and electric defensive end Mario Williams.

Reed said that because of Houston’s “hybrid” 3-4, he’ll play both standing up and with his hand on the ground at times for a Texans team that’s “on the rise,” according to Reed.

“They need someone besides Mario Williams who can rush the quarterback and I think schematically I fit perfectly there,” Reed said. “They liked my playing style and how relentless I am.”

Reed ultimately landed in a great situation, but it didn’t come without stress and uncertainty. He and his family sat on pins and needles for hours on Thursday night at local restaurant Frog & Firkin as he watched the first round pass without being selected.

“It didn’t show it on the film but it was really hard waiting to hear your name called,” he explained. “You have people telling you you’re going to go here or there. Teams pass and you’d look your phone to see if you were going to get a call.”
