Undie Runners bare down for charity By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
The combination of college students and the opportunity to run around in their underwear made for the first Zona Zoo Bear Down Undie Run. On Saturday, UA students met in front of Old Main at 6:30 p.m. to strip to their underwear before running around campus in the name of charity. A DJ was on hand during the event to provide runners with entertainment while news cameras caught the dash on tape. Before the run began, students were encouraged to place the clothes they wore to the event in a large bin placed in front of Old Main, while participants prepped themselves for the idea of being partially nude on campus. The event benefited students of the Tucson Unified School District with donated clothes. “It’s a fun event, and it’s for a good cause,” said Megan West, a psychology senior. “People need the clothes more than I do, so I decided to donate some.” Aside from the philanthropic aspect of the event, many students participated in
the run simply to have fun and promote school spirit. “It’s humor, sexiness and fun all rolled into one,” said Tim Sullivan, a psychology senior. For some, the idea of baring it all was what attracted them to the event. Alex Baine, a freshman and psychology major said, “This is the closest to public nudity I can get.” While nudity wasn’t exactly allowed, underwear was available to runners in the UofA Bookstore for purchase three days prior to the event. Zona Zoo chose to sell underwear, boxers and sports bras to participants. Amber Helms, an elementary education sophomore, said she chose to purchase the underwear because she “wanted to support the Zona Zoo and promote spirit.” However, not all runners elected to buy the underwear, which ranged from $9 to $20. “I have my own underwear; it wasn’t necessary to buy more,” Baine said. The initial goal set forth by the Zona Zona and ASUA coordinators was for 1,000 students to participate in the run. UNDIES, page A10

Phoenix — The Arizona Board of Regents listened to each university present a proposal on how they would follow the directive, issued by the board in March, to cut 2.75 percent of statefunded salaries, among other things. The public session started about an hour behind schedule because the executive session went longer than anticipated. They did, however, finish the meeting about 20 minutes ahead of schedule. The regents met at Arizona State University’s College of Nursing and Health Innovation on Saturday. “The University of Arizona is approaching the savings requirements of $5.3 million with two components. The first component takes advantage of our longstanding strong hiring freeze. We anticipate that very conservatively covering $2.7 (million) of the $5.3 million. The other half roughly $2.6 million we will accumulate through a furlough plan. The furlough plan has four different tiers with individuals in the lower income brackets having no or one-day furloughs throughout the year and individuals in the higher brackets having two or three days,” said UA President Robert Shelton. There was not much discussion on the following several agenda items; all motions that went to vote were carried unanimously.

Adult death rates lowest in Iceland, Cyprus LONDON — Men in Iceland and women in Cyprus have the lowest risk of dying worldwide, a new study says. In a survey from 1970 to 2010, researchers found a widening gap between countries with the highest and lowest premature death rates in adults aged 15 to 60. The study was published Friday in the medical journal, Lancet. The findings are in contrast to the trends in child and maternal mortality, where rates are mostly dropping worldwide. Health officials have long thought if child deaths were decreasing
and health systems were improving, adult deaths would similarly decline. But that’s not what researchers found. “The new analysis challenges the common theories,” wrote Ai Koyanagi and Kenji Shibuya of the department of global health policy at the University of Tokyo, in an accompanying commentary. They were not linked to the study. Koyanagi and Shibuya said it wasn’t clear why there were such major differences among countries in adult deaths. Researchers in Australia and the U.S. calculated death rates in 187 countries

LOS ANGELES — Bret Michaels’ is expected to make a full recovery, according to his doctor. The 47-year-old former Poison frontman’s will to live is “undeniable,” said Dr. Joseph Zabramski, chief of cerebrovascular surgery at the Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, who has been leading the team treating “The Celebrity Apprentice” contestant since he suffered a brain hemorrhage last week. “Mr. Michaels will continue to undergo testing considering we have hit a few roadblocks, including hyponatremia, severe cranial and back pain suffered from Bret Michaels blood drainage, an emergency appendectomy performed a week earlier and a lifelong history of Type 1 diabetes,” Zabramski said in a statement released Friday by Michaels’ publicist, Joann Mignano. Michaels, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 6 and underwent an emergency appendectomy April 12, was rushed to St. Joseph’s Hospital last week with a severe headache. He was later diagnosed with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which causes bleeding in the fluid-filled spaces around the base of the brain. The cause of the hemorrhage is still unknown. “There is no doubt that Mr. Michaels’ condition is serious,” Zabramski added. He said Michaels, who has two daughters, 9-yearold Raine Elizabeth and 4-year-old Jorja Bleu, “did not want his family to wake up and see him lying unconscious in the middle of the floor.” He also said immediate medical attention and Michaels’ “fight to stay conscious during the hemorrhage” enabled doctors to stabilize his condition. Other doctors said it is possible that Michaels could be healthy enough to appear on “The Celebrity Apprentice” live finale May 23. He is currently one of seven contestants remaining on Donald Trump’s competitive reality series, including pop singer Cyndi Lauper, reality TV diva Sharon Osbourne, celebrity chef Curtis Stone and actress Holly Robinson Peete. — The Associated Press

Michelle Blumenberg, executive director of the UA Hillel Foundation, pulls out a calculator to compute the percentage of UA students and staff who signed a petition calling for the UA to canceling contracts with Motorola and Caterpillar because of alleged human rights violations. Blumenberg believes that canceling contracts is not the answer to the issues surrounding the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

Divestment gains momentum Groups call for UA, UAPD to end contracts with Motorola, Caterpillar By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT More than 50 members of the UA and Tucson medical community have signed a letter calling for the UA to end its contracts with the Motorola and Caterpillar corporations because of their alleged roles in health and human rights violations in Palestine and Israel. The open letter was publicly issued as part of the Global Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions National Committee Day of Action, which marks“Land Day”in Palestine. “Land Day” memorializes March 30, 1976 when Palestinians protested Israeli seizures of land, motivated by the contents of the Koenig Report.The report is an internal Israeli government document outlining tactical plans for reducing the number and influence of Arab citizens of Israel, particularly in the Galilee region of the country. The UA and Tucson medical community sent the letter to solicit aid to “expose the alarming business relationships between the University of Arizona and the Caterpillar and Motorola corporations for their roles in perpetuating, and profiting from, the global humanitarian and health crisis in Palestine/Israel.” The letter targets the $203,000 contract University of Arizona Police Department has with Motorola to provide radio and communications equipment since 1999 and the UA’s 2004 contract with Caterpillar to provide software for the College of Engineering. Caterpillar’s contract ends June 30, 2014. It is not clear when Motorola’s contract will expire. The letter cites Section II of the UA’s “Policy on Corporations,” which states in part that the “name of the university should never be used to endorse any products or corporations whose products are instruments of destruction or known to cause harm to humans.” “We do not believe that the UA can be true to its mission of promoting health with the knowledge that the very worst aspects of this global crisis continue through the UA’s business relationships with Caterpillar and Motorola,” the letter reads.
UA Vice President of Communications Johnny Cruz said the university has received the letter, along with other similar calls to end the contracts, though he could not comment on what steps the university is taking to address the issue. Some university affiliates question the motives and effectiveness of divestment campaigns. “Divestment is not the way you go about bringing change or peace to the Middle East,” said Michelle Blumenberg, executive director of the UA Hillel Foundation. “On a whole variety of fronts that doesn’t make any sense. If what you care about are human rights abuses and peace between people then there are ways you can do that, but what do you get by ostracizing Israel?” Blumenberg also questioned how much the UA community supports the letter, calculating that out of a campus community of 50,000 faculty, students and staff, the 54 signatures on the letter made up only 0.1 percent of the UA community. “If 0.1 percent of the campus signs something what does that tell you about the campus feeling about it?” she asked. Blumenberg also contrasted the 0.1 percent with the Jewish population on campus, which she estimated as about 10 percent. “You want to talk about human rights abuses and you want to talk about corporations, then make it a broader issue,” Blumenberg said. Hannah Hafter is a UA public health and Mexican American studies graduate student who signed the letter. Hafter expressed her belief that divestment is an effective means of protest. “The U.S. provides more military aid to Israel than any other country in the world, and anticipates strengthening it to $3 billion per year for this purpose through the next 10 years. This is our tax money and it represents us, so it is important that as a people we get the facts and decide for ourselves if we are in agreement with this use of tax money or not,” Hafter said. Hafter also stressed that this divestment campaign does not endorse any one side of
the larger Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “When it comes to divestment, though, we aren’t talking about or asking the university to talk a stand on the IsraeliPalestinian conflict overall,” Hafter said. “We are looking at two specific companies whose technology is used to commit war crimes against innocent civilians, and when they profit from it then it benefits us. Those of us supporting divestment here actually come from a whole range of views about Israel and Palestine but this is something we all agree on.” The UA is not the only university facing divestment rhetoric at the moment. On March 18, the Associated Students of the University of California, Berkeley, passed a resolution in support of their campus ending contracts with General Electric and United Technologies, two companies that produce aircrafts for the Israeli Army, according to the Berkeley Daily Planet. The resolution was vetoed by Berkeley Student Senate President Will Smelko on the grounds that it “singled out Israel,” though the senate is debating whether to override his veto. The student government of the University of Michigan, Dearborn, approved a similar, though non-binding, measure on Feb. 25 and last year Hampshire College became the first college to completely divest itself financially from companies with ties in Israel and Palestine. Critics of divestment, however, are quick to point out that the above examples are exceptions to the general failures of the movement. “The fact that proposals for companies, corporations, universities, cities, all these entities to divest from Israel that movement is out there and it’s always rejected must say something about the validity of the movement. So you have to wonder ‘is there anti-Semitism there?” Blumenberg asked. Group members deny any antiSemitism motivation. “If I felt there was anti-Semitism discrimination in any group I worked with, I would confront it or leave because that isn’t acceptable to the vast majority of us working on divestment — we want acceptance and fairness for all,” Hafter said.

Sober does not equal buzzkill W
hat three words can instantly stop a party? “I don’t drink.” (Saying “It’s the police!” would be a close second, though.) OK, that sounds somewhat extreme, but it’s not too far from the truth. Straight-edgers, teetotalers, killjoys — whatever you want to call them, the majority of college students can find it difficult to imagine people who abstain from drinking alcohol, even when they are of legal age. It’s easy to see why. Steven Kwan We are constantly Arts editor surrounded by the idea that you can’t have anything fun, funny and interesting happen without alcohol. How many movies and TV shows have you seen where everyone is heading to “the party” and the main characters are trying to get drunk, and they end up either walking the walk of shame or the walk to fame? When was the last time your friends talked about a great party and they didn’t mention drinking or someone being drunk? Even research reflects the scarcity of nondrinkers. Four out of five college age students drink, according to a 2008 study cited by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and about 60 percent of them are between the ages 18 and 20. (This raises two interesting questions: Do these underage students believe that, because of what they’ve seen and heard, they need to start drinking in order to be accepted as an adults? Or are movies, TV shows, books, etc., no more than a reflection of what is already happening — that is — they bear little responsibility for how acceptable and prevalent drinking is?) Now, I must confess that I consider myself a nondrinker. Of course, I’ve been offered beer, wine, rice wine, hard liquor and homemade moonshine by relatives, friends, acquaintances and strangers since I was 4 years old. I used to take a hard stance against all alcohol and drinking, thanks to my mom and to me being a studious graduate of the former D.A.R.E. program. For years, I condemned anyone and everyone for succumbing to such a vice and wasting their lives and money on it. I was not a popular kid. But I’ve since learned to relax and not make an enormous fuss about drinking and alcohol, and I believe many other nondrinkers take a similar perspective. To deny the impact and importance of alcohol in most histories, societies and cultures would be plain silly. We would be denying the countless ideas, inventions and works of art that have been inspired and created across the world while under the influence of a strong brew or a fine vintage. A few things irritate nondrinkers. First, anyone who becomes belligerent or violent when drunk is to be avoided. (Actually, most people wouldn’t want to be around any of them.) Same thing goes for anyone who binge drinks, or is an alcoholic or thinks it’s OK to drive home after more than a few drinks. (Mothers and Students Against Drunk Driving might want to share a few strong words with that person.) Self-pitying drunks are tolerable sometimes but fun, happy drunks are certainly welcome anytime. The second irritant is people who insist that we drink during a celebration or party, regardless of our beliefs and personal history with alcohol; otherwise, we’re disrespecting them and the event. They might as well demand a Hindu to eat a rack of beef ribs at a barbecue or an AA member to take a wine tour through Napa Valley. Finally, just because we don’t drink, please don’t assume we are judging you or that we don’t want to hang out with you when you want to grab a few drinks or go to a party after a stressful week. We’ll suggest doing something else to relax — watch a movie, take a scenic walk, enjoy a mug of hot chocolate at home — but at the end of the day, the most important thing to us is that we are there for you as your friend. Our only request is that whenever we do go out with you, please don’t give us strange looks as we order our Arnold Palmers, Shirley Temples, Cinderellas and other mocktails. We didn’t name them. — Steven Kwan is a nutritional sciences senior. He can be reached at arts@wildcat.arizona.edu.

MAILBAG A note from Mr. President
Today marks the last day of my presidency but, more importantly, the first for newlyinaugurated student body president Emily Fritze. This is a bittersweet moment in my life as I leave office, but I will carry with me fond memories of this year. It has been the highest honor and a profound privilege serving as your student leader, and I want to thank all of my peers for allowing me this opportunity. I have had an amazing time and am so grateful for all of the extraordinary experiences. ASUA had a successful year, and I am proud to say we have accomplished many things on behalf of students. While we have enjoyed a productive year, I will be the first to admit that ASUA and I are in no way perfect. We have our flaws and strengths like any other organization. However, it is my hope that the university community believes us to have dedicated ourselves to the work of improving both the student experience and student life on campus. Our passion is rewarded if even one student has been directly or indirectly benefited from our impact. I want to thank all students for their pursuits in higher education, commitment to their college careers and the overall advancement of our university. It is you we strive to represent and have the responsibility of doing so. Please continue to be engaged and keep your elected student leaders accountable to you. In closing, I’d like to express my appreciation for the students, the university and my colleagues for this year. Congratulations to President Emily Fritze. She will be a committed student advocate and true Wildcat for life. This university and its students will be in great hands under her leadership next year. — Christopher Nagata President, ASUA, 2009-10
Gunning for rights
Thirty-three students and teachers died at Virginia Tech in 2007 for no reason We all remember hearing the story of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the massacre that occurred there, all because an armed man decided to commit an act of violence and went unhindered. The same process happened here at the University of Arizona in 2002, when an angry student killed three professors before he could be stopped by police. These events occurred due to both schools’ policy of a “weapon-free campus.” Signs posted on every door here at the U of A remind students that our campus is a “weapon-free zone,” where weapons simply are not allowed. This is an extremely effective way of letting all know that every law-abiding citizen on our campus is walking around unarmed and defenseless. However, recently, a bill passed that would allow teachers to carry a concealed firearm on campus, provided that they had the proper certifications. When ASUA Senator Tyler Quillin threw a fit about this, many students who care about their safety on campus objected to Quillion’s idea that U of A should be excluded from this bill.
Now that the Arizona Legislature has said that Arizona citizens do not need a permit to carry their firearms concealed, the law changes for the U of A this coming September. Now, whether or not the ASUA Senate likes it, all students and teachers over the age of 21 will be able to carry firearms on campus concealed. This does not change much, however, because the weapons will be concealed, therefore out of sight. Nobody will be able to know my peers, my teacher or I are choosing to exercise our Second Amendment right. Many people are under the opinion that this will turn Arizona and its institutions into a free fire zone, much like the Wild West, but we forget that three states already have the same liberties, and they also have less crime than Arizona. I don’t think many people thinking of shooting up a classroom would enter it knowing that any and all of its occupants could be packing heat, and this is the way it should be. People should be given the right to exercise whatever self-preservation rights they so choose, and if I sound like a crazed redneck, clinging to my gun, I don’t much care. — Brandon Knox Political science undergraduate
Not on the dollar menu
In your piece, I totally agree on your stand, and teaching has become a significant problem in Arizona for whatever reason. I have lived with a teacher for my entire life, aka mom. This also happens to be the worst teacher, but, in any case, my mother has gone from country to country and has told me that the main problem in the scientific world is the ability to communicate with others and tell them how to do specific tasks. I once tried to apply to Embry-Riddle University, and one of the things that they told me was that they don’t even look at the reading and writing scores for the ACTs or SATs, which goes to show the level of importance of communication with others not only by spoken words but written as well. I, for one, would like a teacher to perform his or her job successfully — otherwise I have just paid for a class that didn’t teach me anything, and, with budget cuts and the prices rising for tuition, it isn’t fair to me to have to spend more and more money on an institution that doesn’t provide me with the specific training that I need as a student. It is no doubt significant that the University hires someone who knows what he or she is doing and knows that particular subject and has been trained in but also that they have the skills to pass on their knowledge effectively. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that I pay for this service and training, and I pay a lot of money because I’d like to live a better life and have a family and live comfortably, but I can’t have that if I dont have the training necessary. So in conclusion, I agree, I would rather not pay $100 for a Big Mac. — Caleb Eary Public policy and management undergraduate
Quite articulate
The story on Kevin Wos is very inspiring to me. My best friend’s younger sister is suspected of having Asperger’s Syndrome. Having spent much of last summer with that family, it was hard to see how difficult it is to interact with her. She has not quite developed social skills and acts a few years younger than she is. Her family worries about what her social life will be like when she gets to the age to go away from home. This article shows an example of a student who has thrived in his later teens and overcome many of the social obstacles he faced. I am glad that I read that article because, now, I can look forward to my friend’s sister’s growth as she gets older. — Elia Jones Undergraduate majoring in French
Brother judgemental
As a student at the University of Arizona, I live in a residence where there are two types of people: those who study and those who don’t. But there are hundreds of different types of religions, and every one of the 30,000 students at the University has a religion that is personal to that individual. Whether they are Jewish or Christian or Muslim it is their choice and their right as a citizen of the United States to be able to exercise these beliefs. Thanks to the Founding Fathers of our great country, we have a list of civil rights that are promised to us. These rights protect everyone from persecution. But still I suffer persecution. Verbal stones cast upon my name and my character. As a child, I experienced persecution in a private Christian school, and now I experience it on the campus of a public university. I was told that my soul would be eternally damned to hell for my beliefs, or lack thereof. At the University of Arizona, near the Student Union Memorial Center, I am told, along with my peers, that because of our differential belief system that contrasts to that of our “Brother” Jedd, we all are going to hell. These words, “You are going to hell!” can burn at you as if you were already there. No one can prove that you are actually going to a hell, so why are they allowed to say it? They’re not. In a case of slander that predates the American Revolution, a man by the name of John Peter Zenger proved that if a statement is not slanderous, it must be the absolute truth without any sign of falsehood. Telling someone that he or she is going to hell is not absolutely true, and to prove it as such would be impossible. The damage that slander causes is determined, not by the person who has made the comments, but by the person who feels victimized by the words. It is the fact that I am hurt by these words that makes it slander. No one should be allowed to have the power to judge those they do not know. Get these judgmental people off my campus and off my country’s promised freedom. — Thomas Randall Business undergraduate

ASA backs voting bill
A5
House Bill 2668 allows for excused absences from class to vote, easier voting on campus By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Students’ Association enlisted students across the state to push new legislation to a vote before the legislature went on break. Students were also responsible for drafting the legislation. Daniel Hernandez, senior ASA fellow, said the UA was one of the strongest groups in getting House Bill 2668, which calls for universities and students to increase voter registration and voting opportunities for students on Arizona campuses. “We actually contacted about 13,000 students for the call to action,” Hernandez said. “In one hour, we were able to get 100 students to successfully call in and leave messages.” The bill, called Voting Information in Post-secondary Institutions, has bipartisan support and sponsors. It passed in the House 42 to 15 and the Senate Education, Accountability and Reform Committee before going to the Senate Thursday night. Hernandez said the bill might have died without a final push, so

they called students into action. It was because of this, Hernandez said, the Senate voted and passed the bill before the end of legislative session. ASA spoke directly to students, saying “if passed, the bill could provide enormous resources for you as a student voter (i.e. opportunities to both register and vote easily on campus, policies that give you the same legal rights as employees to receive an excused absence from class to vote and university commitment to making you aware of the deadlines and requirements etc.)” Sent by Robyn Nebrich, an organizing director for ASA, the call to action was made to pass the bill, which “establishes a commitment to preparing our new voters which will increase vote turnout for young people and thus increase (student) voice in the state.” Elma Delic, UA board chair of ASA, was one of the students who called state senators on Thursday. “I think the call to action just shows the successes of ASA as a lobbying body for students,”Delic said.“We’re pretty confident that the governor is going to sign it.
So, the next steps are making sure that it’s implemented especially since 2010 is a big year for education in Arizona.” Delic said after the hopeful passage of the bill, ASA’s future lies in educating students about the November 2010 elections and getting students to vote in May’s special election. On the ballot will be Proposition 100, a temporary one-cent sales tax increase, that would last three years. Some of the money from Proposition 100 would fund education. As far as this bill is concerned, however, both Delic and Hernandez said students were an essential part of HB 2668 now being on its way to Gov. Jan Brewer’s office. “She hasn’t had any opposition to it so far and we are just going to keep our ear to the ground and see if there are any potential problems,” Hernandez said.“It got its final up or down vote and if that hadn’t happened the work that had been put into this bill by countless students would have been lost. There would have been no movement forward if it hadn’t been for students.”

UA celebrates Portugese By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Students gathered outside the Modern Languages building on Friday for the annual Evento Cultural, a festival put on by the Spanish and Portuguese department. The event included performances in Portuguese by students currently studying the language. “The Evento Cultural is the annual close-out event for the spring semester. It provides students with the opportunity to speak in Portuguese,”said Selene Moreno, a graduate teaching associate in the Spanish and Portuguese department. Teaching assistants and associate professors were encouraged to get students in their Portuguese classes involved in the event. “We wanted to gather students to experience the Portuguese language while they perform and preserve the Brazilian culture. Students put something together, whether it be a theater performance, song, poem, dance, play an instrument or capoeira,” said Ana Carvalho, an associate professor of Portuguese. Fatima Valdez, a civil engineering senior, participated in the performances to help broaden people’s perspective of the culture. “I am currently in a Portuguese class and my teacher told me about the celebration. I love doing artistic things so I decided to sing a song and dance. It’s important to do things like this to expand our horizons and get a taste of the culture,”Valdez said.

Students who attended were glad for the opportunity for cultural immersion. “In class we are not always exposed to people constantly speaking in Portuguese, so this celebration is a good way for students on campus to listen to a great language. I think Portuguese is often overlooked by Spanish, and is not necessarily a huge language on campus but this festival proves people care,” said Alana Sorge, pre-education . Festivities like the Evento Cultural help the Portuguese language gain more publicity, Carvalho said. “Evento Cultural is very important, especially nowadays, because it brings cultural diversity to campus and highlights the importance of humanities,” she said. “We do this in the last couple of weeks of the year to hopefully strengthen enrollment for the coming years.” Katia de Costa Bezerra, associate professor of Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literature and Linguistics, coordinated the event with help from the Dean of Students Office and the Spanish and Portuguese Department. “We wanted to create a different way to interact with students and get them in contact with the Brazilian culture. Students need to feel a part of the Portuguese community and hopefully more visibility will be given to the language and the number of students in the department will continue to increase,” de Costa Bezerra said.
Is it true that HIV can pass through the pores in a latex condom?
A. Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of HIV (U.S. Centers for Disease Control). Latex condoms have pores that are about 5 microns (0.00002 inches) in size. This size is 10 times smaller than sperm. Condoms are held to strict testing before being distributed to the population and manufacturers test each condom. If just 4 out of 1,000 condoms fail, the entire batch is rejected (the standard for latex gloves is 40 out of 1,000).
In a study of couples using condoms correctly and consistently where one partner had HIV and the other did not, there were zero cases of HIV transmission between partners. On the other hand, inconsistent users of condoms had a ten percent HIV infection rate. When condoms are correctly used for birth control, they have been shown to be 98 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. Even when condoms do break, one study showed that more than half of such breaks occurred prior to ejaculation.
Transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection, can be greatly reduced with proper and consistent use of latex condoms when engaging in sexual intercourse. There are many different types and brands of condoms available – however, only latex (rubber) or polyurethane (plastic) condoms provide a highly effective barrier to HIV. In laboratory testing, viruses occasionally have been shown to pass through natural membrane (“skin” or lambskin) condoms. These condoms, made from sheep’s intestines, contain natural pores and therefore are not recommended for disease prevention.
To reduce the risks of HIV transmission, it is important that both you and your partner(s) be tested annually, and use condoms each and every time you have sex. You can get tested confidentially at Campus Health; call 621-9202 for an appointment. You can also buy 100 Durex condoms for just $12.99 at the CHS Pharmacy on the first floor. If you have any other questions about HIV or STD testing, please call Campus Health at 621-4967. Guest columnist: Janelle Knowlton, Health Education Senior

policebeat By Bridgette Doran Arizona Daily Wildcat
Birthday marijuana found in dorm room A University of Arizona Police Department officer arrived at the Coronado Residence Hall on April 25 at 6:42 p.m. after an anonymous person reported marijuana in one of the rooms. When the officer arrived, he could smell a strong odor of marijuana in the hallway. He found a room with a door open, where the smell was the strongest. The officer knocked on the door and could see that there was only one woman inside. She identified herself with an Arizona drivers license. A window was also open, and there was a fan blowing toward it. The woman told the officer that her friend, who lived down the hall, had been in the room smoking with her and that she had some marijuana in the room but that her friend had the pipe out of which they were smoking. The officer noticed several empty bottles of alcohol in the room as well. The woman said she bought the marijuana for her birthday, which was the previous day, and that she normally does not smoke. She took a small baggie from the top drawer of her desk and handed it to the officer. Another UAPD officer found the friend in her dorm room. The friend said she smoked marijuana in the woman’s room with a glass pipe that she had in her purse. She also told the officer that they purchased the marijuana from an unknown person at a party for $20. The friend was arrested for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. The other woman was also arrested for possession of marijuana. Both woman were cited and released on scene. Code of Conduct referrals were sent to the Dean of Students for both women.
Men go swimming, get arrested Several UAPD officers were dispatched to the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center swimming pool on April 25 at 1:17 a.m. after an intrusion alarm was set off. One officer told another officer that there were two men on the west side of the building running north toward University Boulevard. One of the men was caught while the other continued running across University Boulevard. The officers searched the area where the man had run to and found the man sitting on the ground under a stairwell in the breezeway of the Kuiper Space Sciences building. The man identified himself verbally and told the officer that he had been celebrating his friend’s 21st birthday and that his friend wanted to go swimming in the Hillenbrand pool. The man said they had been at a party at the Sam Hughes Apartments, where he drank four beers. He also said that he did not get in the pool but admitted to being inside the gated area while his friend jumped in. While they were in there, the man said they noticed the cops, got scared and decided to run. He also said that he was with three other men. When the officer asked about the two men who had not been detained, the man invoked his rights and chose not to answer any more questions. While speaking with the man, the officer had noticed a strong smell of alcohol on his breath and watery, bloodshot eyes. After the officer was done speaking the man, another officer reported seeing two men coming over the walls of the Aquatic Center. The other officer stopped both of the men, and one of the men started running as the other yelled, “Don’t do it, man!” All the men who were caught coming from inside the pool area were arrested for second degree criminal trespassing. Two of the men were also cited for minor in possession.
Paraphernalia found after traffic stop
John’s Spring Break Trip to Mexico
A UAPD officer was watching traffic at the intersection of Sixth Street and National Championship Drive on April 26 at 4:49 p.m. when he saw a speeding silver car. The officer pulled the driver over, and, when he walked up to the driver’s side door, he could smell a strong oder of marijuana coming from inside. The officer identified four of the men inside the car with there Arizona drivers licenses, and the fifth man verbally identified himself. All five men were asked to step out of the car individually and sit on the curb. While searching the car, the officer found a large zip-top bag in which there was marijuana underneath the passenger seat. In the trunk, inside a blue duffle bag, the officer found a large glass bong, a blue metal smoking pipe and a metal grinder. The driver told the officer that the bag was his. All of the other men gave the officer their permission to search their bags. Inside a black Under Armor bag, the officer found a tin box with rolling papers, a baggie with marijuana buds, dryer sheets and a black scale. After interviewing each man, the driver was arrested for speeding and three counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. Another man was arrested for possession of marijuana and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia. The third man was arrested for possession of marijuana. The three men were cited and released on scene.

A UAPD officer was requested by Tucson Police Department to do a welfare check of a possibly missing UA student on April 27 at 8:37 a.m. The officer was also told that the woman’s apartment window was broken. The officer called the Dean of Students to request a copy of the woman’s class schedule, and the Dean told the officer that she had been in the office several times because of problems with her boyfriend. The woman’s schedule showed she had one class on Tuesday mornings. The officer went to the class in the Atmospheric Sciences building and told the professor that he need to interrupt the class because he was looking for a student. When the officer asked the class if the woman was present, two girls in the back of the room giggled and covered their mouths with their hands. The officer asked if either one of them was the woman he was looking for, and they said no and that she hardly ever went to class. The officer went to the woman’s boyfriend’s apartment, but there was no one there. He then went to the woman’s apartment, and it was empty as well. The officer notified TPD of his findings. A TPD officer later told the UAPD officer that the woman was found to be halfway to St. Louis, Mo., with her boyfriend because she was pregnant.

Regents end partnership of ASU, UA College of Medicine
plan if it fails. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The contingency plan, which weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Plan B,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; calls for $107.1 million in reductions of fiscal (year) 2011 general funds support for our system,â&#x20AC;? said Regent Anne Mariucci. If Proposition 100 does not pass, that would mean the UA would sustain another $41 million in cuts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The University of Arizona has already lost $100 million in state cuts to date. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coping with that,â&#x20AC;? Shelton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The non-success of Prop. 100 would mean an additional $41.65 million, which would have to be dealt with in a very short timeline.â&#x20AC;? What this means for the UA: possibly an additional reduction of up to 500 positions, changes in class sizes and financial aid awards and possibly a tuition surcharge.
End of UA, ASU partnership with College of Medicine - Phoenix The dissolution of the partnership between the University of Arizona and Arizona State University at the College of Medicine - Phoenix was made official at the meeting. It will now be called The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix to reflect the dissolution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased about the collegiality, maturity and sensitivity that our three presidents have displayed over the last two or three months on this matter,â&#x20AC;? said ABOR President, Ernest CalderĂłn. ASU President Michael Crow said his university will save about $3.5 million by no longer being a partner in the College of Medicine.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The savings) are being redirected into the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s broader financial stress and strains that we are moving through at the moment,â&#x20AC;? Crow said. Shelton said the UAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of developing the College of Medicine in Phoenix, as a second campus, remains a very high priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reviewed our finances, and we can continue with the development of the health sciences education building in its full size. We may need to sell out some of the space, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to make sure we have a full use of that footprint,â&#x20AC;? Shelton said.
Tom Anderes named as finalist for ABOR president position At its March meeting, ABOR approved the guidelines for the conduct of the presidential search, and, on Saturday,
they named a candidate. The search committee chose Tom Anderes, who has worked with the Oregon University System and the University and Community College System of Nevada. He currently works as the Senior Vice President for Administration and Fiscal Affairs at the University of Wisconsin System. On April 26, CalderĂłn expanded the membership of the search committee from four members to include all regents. The regents decided to approve contract negotiations at its June 10 meeting. The contract will be for multiple years, but cannot exceed three years. The board of regents, however, said pending the results of the Proposition 100 vote, it may meet sooner, possibly mid-May.

Facebook shares all
Personalized ads have positive, negative potential By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A $10,000 scholarship with a single click of the mouse may seem alluring to students, but it might have a dark side. Social networking sites like Facebook are thriving and updating their services to appeal to their users, but the marketing effects of spreading users’ information remain unclear. “I think the potential of your information being leaked is more harmful if someone doesn’t know what they’re doing,” said Alex Lopez, a chemistry sophomore.“There’s ways I’ve been able to block the pop-up ads.” There is a possibility the information a user shares on the Internet could be used for profit, and it is alarming to some users. “Advertisements themselves are fine — it’s whether or not people respond to them,” said Susan Brown, Management Information Systems associate professor. “I imagine that the likes and interests are used to
target ads, but they profit from that only if you follow the links from the ads they offer.” Most students feel that these companies could take advantage of the naïve users, especially when they see ads based on their activities, interests, relationship status, sex, college, favorite books, movies and more. “Every little change you make to your Facebook profile gets noticed,” said Taylor Wyman, a Facebook user and veterinary science sophomore. Since the addition of the “Like” button, Facebook users have the ability to display their interests in any person, place or thing. But the little blue thumbs up also gives support to marketing strategists. Companies that advertise on thriving websites like Facebook have generated new ways to target their market audience based on people’s likes and dislikes. “I changed my relationship status over winter break and immediately began seeing
‘wedding crash diets’ and honeymoon advertisements. It was really weird to me, that’s such a targeted audience,” Wyman said. When a Facebook user“Likes” something, it not only shares this information with their friends but also filters them into advertisement categories. On the other hand, Facebook ensures the ad placer they will be able to “track progress with real-time reporting, gain insight about who’s clicking on your ad and make modifications to maximize your results,” according to data on their website. “Now, I have my computer set up to block all the ads, so I actually don’t see them,” Wyman said. Some, like freshman Joe Allegranza, were unaware that Facebook has“such capabilities.” “Even though it’s a little invading, I like it because the ads suggest things that I like, and I won’t have to go search the Internet for it. It makes things easier to find,” Allegranza said.

UNDIES
Greek, Chain Gang events cited for fewer participants at run
continued from page A1
While that goal was not met, Dominick San Angelo said the event was still a success. “We fell rather short of the goal, but it was a successful night overall; people had a good time,” he said. San Angelo said the reason that participation fell short was because the date they chose for the run. “That Saturday was a really busy day; there were two fraternity parties, a sorority semi-formal, the Chain Gang orientation and other things, happening all at the same time. It was also right before finals,” San Angelo said. Most participants considered the run, which lasted a mere four minutes for the first finisher, a worthwhile cause. Jay Hall, a political science and Middle Eastern studies sophomore said, “It was a little cold but completely worth the experience. We are all sort of in this time where things are getting stressful
and something like an undie run eases some of the stress.” With a majority of colleges and universities on the West Coast adapting an annual undie run, San Angelo is confident that the Bear Down Undie Run event will continue to be a tradition at the UA. “It was a fun event that ran smoothly. There were no problems. The only thing that could have gone better was attendance, but that was a direct result of the day it happened,” Hall said. “ASU does an annual undie run and we always want to beat ASU, so I think a UA run should become a tradition.” As the event came to a close, many students changed into extra clothes they brought with them, while others walked off in the their underwear. Students wearing the Zona Zoo brand had the opportunity to go to the Chipotle on University Boulevard to get a free burrito.
