Facilities consumed by enrollment The UA looks for ways to expand facilities, add classrooms By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UA facilities are nearing their occupancy limits as more and more students need to use them each year. Enrollment at the UA has increased about 6 percent since fall 2006, peaking at 39,086 in fall 2010, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning Support. The current infrastructure on the main campus can support about 40,000 students, said UA President Robert Shelton during his State of the University Address in December 2010.
The increase in enrollment has led the UA to reconfigure its buildings for multiple uses and consider options for expansion. The campus has a shortage of lab space, office space and some types of classrooms, according to Peter Dourlein, director of UA Planning, Design and Construction. “We’re using virtually every building we have,” he said. The UA campus is “land locked,” according to Dourlein, but does have space to expand. Planning, Design and Construction works within a boundary around the campus when planning new construction, which includes private property not cur-
rently owned by the university. The UA campus size can grow by onethird within this boundary, according to Dourlein. “Then we’re going to be tapped out for a while,” he said. Building taller buildings, replacing parking lots with new construction projects and removing older buildings are all strategies the organization is deploying to utilize the UA’s space on campus. Downtown can also provide space for the university to expand with student housing in the area already in progress. “That’s like a big relief valve for the
university,” Dourlein said. An increase in enrollment comes at the same time as cuts in state funding, which can challenge the university’s ability to fund new projects. The university approached the state Legislature for construction funding in the past, Dourlein said. “Now, no projects are funded like that,” he said. “That’s not even an option anymore.” Another result of funding cuts is the need for large classes, which allow the universiFACILITIES, page 3
New editor in chief eyes next fall
Passion for fashion
By John Kuells ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As the 2010-11 school year comes to a close, students are looking ahead to see what they can expect this coming fall. Among the many changes in campus life that will affect next year is the hiring of Nicole Dimtsios as editor in chief of the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Dimtsios will be a journalism senior this fall and has put in six semesters at the Wildcat. During her time, she has been a sports editor, assistant editor, sports reporter and copy editor. For Dimtsios, it was only natural she take it upon herself to apply for the next position up. “This was really the next step to kind of cement my time and influence here at the Wildcat,” Dimtsios said. “It’s always been EDITOR, page 3 Rebecca Rillos/Arizona Daily Wildcat

College of Engineering showcases senior talent By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT More than 50 design projects were displayed to showcase the talents of engineering seniors at the 2011 Engineering Design Day on Tuesday. The showcase was held in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Grand Ballroom, and larger projects were displayed at the outdoor amphitheater on the north side of the union. Ara Arabyan, the associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering who oversaw the event, said that the showcase aimed to familiarize the public with what engineering seniors can do. The objective of the event, sponsored the UA College of Engineering, was to train participants for real life experiences and prototypes, he said. The showcase displayed projects from engineering seniors who worked to design and execution their projects throughout the entire school year. The ideas for their projects, however, came from companies and manufacturers who managed and helped fund the projects.

David Montgomery, a senior studying optical sciences and engineering, was asked to develop a wireless link between a patient and monitor in the anesthesia room along with five of his fellow teammates. The objective of this, he said, was to increase efficiency. Instead of taking three to four minutes to hook up wires, the sensors pick up anywhere in the hospital in about 30 seconds to one minute, according to Montgomery. “Time is money,” he said. Other projects, like the one of Nathan Sandoval, a computer engineering senior, and Amber McManaman, an electrical engineering senior, aimed to integrate autopilot into a micro-air vehicle. They did so using various sensors, including an external GPS, wireless modem and an R/C receiver. Sandoval said the goal of their project was to create an autonomous air view. During the fall semester, he and his team planned the project and spent the spring semester designing. “We put the final work into the plane
EcoOps membership grows, projects to start EcoOps, a new group invested in UA sustainability opportunities, will be electing representatives soon and starting up projects during the summer. EcoOps kicked off this semester as one of the new initiatives of the Office of Sustainability, which began in October. With 49 members, the group has been focusing on faculty but reaches out to alumni, said Richard Mora, EcoOps program manager and graduate assistant in the Office of Sustainability. The group is also open to graduate and undergraduate students. The two elected representatives will sit on the UA President’s Advisory Council for Environmental Sustainability. Mora said he sees the group’s strength as “having all of these brilliant minds together and all these passionate people.” “This is a great opportunity for us to talk to each other,” Mora said. Members will be talking during the summer about ways to enhance UA sustainability through projects like creating green labs and green offices.

In the aftermath of bin Laden’s death, is it time to revisit scope and size of the war on terror? MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — From buying nuclear radiation detectors to putting droves of air marshals on passenger flights, the U.S. government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars since the Sept. 11 attacks to build defenses around every major target of terrorism. The death of Osama bin Laden doesn’t end those threats. But while the ability of the remaining al-Qaida network to punch back is unclear, some experts say that it’s time, particularly amid a severe U.S. budget crunch, to determine if any of those vast homeland security programs are bloated, redundant or unnecessary. “A thorough review is entirely appropriate,” said Brian Jenkins, a counterterrorism expert for the Rand Corp. “Not simply for the purposes of slashing budgets, but for saying, ‘OK, what are we doing here? And how well are we doing it?’” George Foresman, a former homeland security undersecretary from 2005 to 2007, agreed. “Maybe it’s time to take a hard look at what we’ve done to secure America — not just from terrorist threats, but also from natural disasters. We won’t find out where we’re not strong until
we have the next ‘Oh, crap’ moment, when we’ll say we should have looked at this and been better prepared.” The takedown of al-Qaida’s leader also offers an opportunity to reassess the U.S. involvement in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya, said Randall Larsen, a counterterrorism expert at the National Defense University in Washington. “The debt of this country is perhaps a greater threat to our long-term national security than terrorists,” Larsen said. “We are spending $2 billion a week in Afghanistan for what Gen. (David) Petraeus and the director of the CIA said were about 100 members of al-Qaida. How many troops do we have? How much money are we spending?” But is slashing such spending politically feasible when a president is seeking re-election in a highly partisan climate? Since his biggest national security triumph Sunday, President Barack Obama’s administration has given no hint of changing course on the fight against al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. “The fight is far from over,” Attorney General Eric Holder told the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. “Today, we must be united by a collective

resolve and a common purpose to protect our homeland.” One reason for caution is that the potency of al-Qaida and its fragmented allies is unknown. “We’ve still got enemies out there, both organized and unorganized. This doesn’t change anything,” said Michael Greenberger, a former Clinton administration counterterrorism adviser who heads the University of Maryland’s Center for Health and Homeland Security. “Some people would argue that with bin Laden’s death, the threat is even greater because there’s an incentive to retaliate.” However, at a time of multitrillion-dollar budget deficits, Congress and the president may have little choice but to cap the gusher of counterterrorism spending, including more than $80 billion in annual intelligence spending and tens of billions spent by other agencies. For example, Congress is requiring the Department of Homeland Security to screen 100
percent of the cargo arriving at U.S. seaports. Larsen said, however, that the radiation detectors used at the ports couldn’t detect a Hiroshima-sized bomb wrapped in aluminum foil, and that it would be easy to put a milk jug holding a dirty bomb in the trunk of one of 800,000 cars arriving, uninspected, at the same seaports. After the 9/11 hijackings and a series of other al-Qaida attempts to blow up passenger jets, U.S. officials added locked, armored cockpit doors and full-body passenger screening. Some question whether it was necessary to also dispatch unidentified, armed air marshals on selected flights. However, money for emergency response programs by state and local governments should be protected, said Frank Cilluffo, a former Bush administration counterterrorism adviser. If Congress trims homeland security, he said, “maybe it means less money on trinkets and more money on building out intelligence.”
Well before the bin Laden killing, Jenkins flew to Williamsburg, Va., in January to appear at a retreat for freshmen members of Congress, including newly elected tea party members bent on slashing federal spending. He suggested that the 10th year since Sept. 11 was a time to review all the counterterrorism measures put in place since the attacks. “Right after Sept. 11, we did a lot of things because there was a great deal of uncertainty,” Jenkins said. “We had no idea of how many more 9/11s might be in the pipeline — large-scale operations.” As a result, he said, U.S. officials became too caught up in identifying major vulnerabilities, instead of focusing on actual terrorist threats. In an “open industrialized, technology-dependent society,” he said, vulnerabilities are “virtually infinite.” The current climate, he said, offers a chance for America to revisit those decisions and “get smarter.”

U.S. questions threaten relations with Pakistan McClatchy Tribune ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Friend. Foe. Or both. Osama bin Laden’s use of the military city of Abbottabad as his final hideout aggravates a familiar suspicion among U.S. policymakers: that Pakistan paints itself as a reliable ally against militants even while officials help some of them behind the scenes when it suits their interest. Pakistan’s security establishment and government have always vehemently denied playing such a double game — particularly in the case of bin Laden and other al-Qaida figures. But analysts say Pakistan’s willingness to reach an accommodation with militants who further its national aims is a cornerstone of the country’s regional strategy, and is unlikely to change. Just as constant is its mutual dependence with the United States, despite a long history of anger and frustration. Pakistan needs U.S. aid; Washington needs Pakistan’s help winding down the war in Afghanistan. And U.S. officials do not want to see Pakistan turn into a failed
state that is home to both a broad array of extremist groups and an arsenal of nuclear weapons. “No one has any illusions about this alliance, especially now,” said a senior U.S. military officer. “But the reality remains: We are much more likely to achieve our aims by working with them where we can.” U.S. officials have refrained from directly accusing Pakistani security forces of harboring bin Laden, but they say he could not have remained hidden so long without a network of supporters, possibly within Pakistan’s largest intelligence agency, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI. Pakistan, in turn, lashed out at the U.S. on Tuesday for conducting the raid that killed bin Laden without first seeking permission. “Such actions undermine cooperation and may also constitute a threat to international peace and security,” the Foreign Ministry said. Some U.S. lawmakers have raised the prospect of trimming back billions of dollars in economic and military aid Washington has pledged to Pakistan.
EDITOR continued from page 1 something I’ve been extremely passionate about.” Dimtsios said the paper has been on an upward slant and she has a plan to keep the upward momentum going. This includes hiring an eclectic staff of veteran reporters interspersed with young and passionate newcomers. “I wanted … to get in a staff of veterans who know how to run desks and how to manage people and to make sure content gets in,” Dimtsios said. “And have them hire a lot of young, blossoming reporters that can really grow under their guidance and continue on the tradition of the Wildcat.” Dimtsios said that though she gets a fancy title, the real workhorses of the Wildcat are the editors and writers that are dedicated to making the Wildcat the number-one source

last night,” he said. “We would have probably appreciated even more time.” McManaman said the project included a lot of trial and error, and that making all of the components work together was the most difficult part. Engineering Design Day cost about $20,000 to put on, and sponsors of the projects paid the majority of the overhead with help from the College of Engineering. At the end of the event, about 15 cash awards were allotted to various individuals and teams. Arabyan invited about 60 different unpaid judges to help determine the winners. Some students, like biosystems engineering senior Kathryn Allen, said they had challenges working with the manufacturers because they misunderstood the students’ initial designs. Allen and her group, however, secured insurance on their initial prototype, which was an inflatable valve to block flow in gated irrigation pipes. Her client was originally using butterfly valves to block flow, however, debris would get in and the pipes couldn’t close. Allen’s inflatable valve successfully prevented bottom water leakage.
ty to serve more students with fewer faculty members, Dourlein said. The demand for larger classrooms has led to the repurposing of some campus buildings. Both Centennial Hall and Gallagher Theater have been used for large classes during the past few years. However, most buildings are too costly to convert into large classrooms because they are not equipped with the correct technology or seating, Dourlein said. The extra use of these buildings also affects their maintenance, according to Chris Kopach, director of Facilities Management. He said seats in Centennial Hall have been torn from the extra use. “Naturally, it’s not the same amount of volume,” Kopach said. The addition of large classrooms is going to be increasingly important in the coming five years, according to the business plan Shelton presented to the Arizona Board of Regents in April. The plan stated the UA’s goal of increasing the number of 100- to 300-seat classrooms by 2016 to improve graduation rates and accommodate continued enrollment growth. Planning, Design and Construction is looking for ways
for campus news. “If you have good content and good reporters who are willing to go out and get those stories, get those interviews, the last-minute things that show the extra effort, then that’s really what makes or breaks the paper,” she said. With so many other media outlets competing for students’ attention, Dimtsios said students choose the Wildcat because of the staff’s dedication to offering all of the important news on campus. “We are students, this is our paper, this is our livelihood,” she said. “Everyone really cares and everyone is really dedicated and that’s a huge strength of the Wildcat.” Dimtsios said this dedication has given the Wildcat an in-depth look into campus life that isn’t offered through other media outlets. This has helped the Wildcat cover what Dimtsios said are the biggest stories on campus this

to add large classroom space to new developments, according to Dourlein. The new tree ring lab was designed with a large meeting and classroom space. “We’re looking to amp that up,” he said. In addition to large classrooms, some UA colleges are looking for additional lab and work space. The lack of state funding requires the use of partnerships or gift funding to add the facilities in some cases. The College of Engineering is in the process of designing a 7,000 to 10,000-square foot student clubhouse near the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering building on Speedway Boulevard, according to Jeffrey Goldberg, dean of the College of Engineering. The building will house student club projects. “The space for those kinds of things is tough to come by,” Goldberg said. The building is estimated to cost between $5 million and $6 million, which is being raised through industry and private support. Alumni who remember their experiences building projects are often willing to donate, Goldberg said. “A lot of hands-on experiences are done through clubs,” he said. “People like to come and see our toys.”
year, including Rep. Gabrielle Gifford’s shooting, President Barack Obama’s visit to campus for the memorial service, the controversial Associated Students of the University of Arizona presidential elections and the men’s basketball team’s enthralling run to the Elite Eight. “The Wildcat remains relevant on campus because we are on campus,” Dimtsios said. “That’s one big thing that I kind of pushed for in my campaign was we’re on campus, we’re here, we’re students, we should be able to get that coverage of UA campus like no other paper can.” Dimtsios plans on becoming a “big-time” sports broadcaster after college. However, she said her work at the Wildcat is only just beginning. “I’m going to be here a lot. The newsroom is going to be my home,” Dimtsios said. “I jokingly tell people that I sold my soul to the Wildcat a long time ago.”

EDITORIAL End of the semester calls for reflection, a drink
B
efore the dead day parties, so conveniently timed to overlap with Cinco de Mayo, begin, give your liver a moment’s rest while you look back on the semester. Remember how, at the end of winter break, you told yourself you’d ace all your classes and get a 4.0 grade point average? You even braved the crowd at the bookstore and actually bought the required texts this semester. Then the books sat, unopened, without a crack in the spine. You shoved them under your bed to collect dust and occasionally crush spiders until you tried to sell them back for a fraction of their original price. Oh, well. It was the thought that counted. Like the conclusion of anything, the end of the semester demands some quiet reflection. There is no need for another rehashing of the semester’s most significant happenings, from things that everyone cared about (the Jan. 8 tragedy) to things that no one cared about (the ASUA presidential election debacle). But you should pause for a second. Re-evaluate what it took to get where you are now. Whether you just finished your last semester or you’re looking forward to at least another six of them, examine all the goals you set for yourself a few months ago. Did you accomplish any of them? Did you even bother to set any? In the Jan. 12 issue of the Daily Wildcat, during the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 8 shooting that wounded Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and many others, the Daily Wildcat editorial board wrote that: “The most important thing we can do is move forward from this moment by recognizing our duty to be kind, to be humble, to work together and to work toward something larger than our differences and ourselves.” Even now, when life has returned to normalcy and we’re back to just being snarky and fed up with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, we hope it’s still true. Did you spend your semester working toward something beyond Thirsty Thursday and the weekend? What did you have an impact on, and whom did you make an impression on? What did you do that mattered? Furthermore, did you at least try? Remember that honors aren’t necessarily easily recognized. You don’t get awards for everything, and not all achievements are tangible. You should be able to end every semester with pride. Even if you didn’t accomplish everything you meant to, you should have had good intentions to the very end. And that’s something to drink to.

Being Twitter-pated: In the aftermath of the shocking news that Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in Pakistan, the American people did exactly what you’d expect them to — they ran to Twitter to share their reactions. Of course, in their haste to alert all of their followers, as well as their desire to sound sage-like and wise, several quotes attributed to Mark Twain and Martin Luther King Jr. went viral. Both the quotes seem perfectly suited to describe what the pinko Commies feel about bin Laden’s death, but there’s just one problem: They’re not real. Those of you who retweeted them (or posted them yourself so you could look smart) should go sit duly chastised in a corner for a while. I’ll wait. Teenage trainwrecks: Fresh off a stirring (read: sickening) rendition of Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” a song that surprisingly has more to do with STDs than it does with roses, Miley Cyrus decided to descend to new levels of depravity and cover Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Forgiving for a moment the fact that Kurt Cobain could sneeze into a phonograph and create something better than “Party in the U.S.A.,” this cover just doesn’t make any sense. I may not be entirely clear on what teen spirit smells like, but I can sure tell you what this song sounds like. Here’s a hint, it begins with “sh” and is considerably more unpleasant than teen spirit.

Human decency: While no one aside from Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall is sad to hear the news of Osama bin Laden’s death, that doesn’t justify metaphorically or literally dancing on his grave. Throwing themed parties with G.I. Joes and terrorist hoes, “liking” the fact he is dead on Facebook, creating fake Twitter accounts or writing how “you don’t mess with the ole Red, White and Blue because these colors don’t run” … all it does is detract from what people should be doing: remembering his victims with the reverence and respect they deserve. Gunshots should not beget shots of gin. Show some class, people. The Donald: Speaking of class, you have to respect the way Donald Trump responded to his second roast in less than a month at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. When President Barack Obama made jokes about the laughable birther controversy, Trump looked like a 10-yearold who just had his bike stolen by the neighborhood bully. When comedian Seth Meyers said that rather than running as a Republican he thought Trump was running as a joke, the Donald looked like one of his casinos had just gone through Chapter 11 again. Look, regardless of whether or not you think President Trump has a nice ring to it, the question remains: With the future as grim as it looks, do we really want to elect a president without a sense of humor?

UA’s spring obsessions Caroline Nachazel
T
he library is poppin’, professors look miserable and those lucky enough not to have a final post-Cinco de Mayo have an exciting 48 hours ahead. It must be the last day of the semester. Spring 2011 came, saw and conquered. As UA students try to find themselves, pass exams and keep time in the back of Tucson Police Department cars to a minimum during the past five months of spring semester, each month introduced a new obsession.
Lights, camera, tragedy
The spring semester started off with the Jan. 8 shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others, and Tucson was thrust into the national spotlight. Regardless of being a liberal or a conservative, it was almost as if all conflict came to a halt when President Barack Obama’s voice filled McKale Center. For just one day, on Jan. 12, the people of Tucson were united by a tragedy. It was something

Dark and dirty
With the Feb. 3 release of the Rihanna’s “S&M” music video, the month of Valentine’s took a twisted turn. Flowers and chocolates turned into whips and ‘cuffs this year. Boyfriends and girlfriends across campus and America were deeply inspired by Rihanna’s dark and dirty anthem. Happy, fairy tale, boring relationships: Rest in peace. Experimentation with the dark side is the cure for a dull romance. February 2011 gave UA students the courage to get down and dirty with their romantic partner. New dance moves were demonstrated on dance floors across Tucson such as the Cat Daddy, the Bernie and the Creep as proof of this claim.
Bear down
March madness, everyone who waited
in the line that reached the UA Mall for the Elite 8 T-shirts: It is all your fault. The silence that lingered after the 65-63 loss was almost as painful as the looks on our favorite boys’ faces when the buzzer went off. Despite the intense grieving that followed, the 2011 NCAA basketball tournament was a memorable time. The morning of the Sweet 16 game felt like everyone was high on Wildcat pride. If someone on campus wasn’t wearing game day attire, they clearly had no UA affiliation. After the tournament, seeing basketball players around campus was similar to spotting a celebrity in Hollywood — people started tensing up, getting short of breath, losing the ability to speak. Wildcat ‘ballers were a huge obsession this semester and UA’s No. 1 heartthrob is leaving the courts of McKale for the NBA draft. D-Will, goodbye and farewell. I hate to see you go, but I love to watch you leave.
April’s final day
The majority of the attendees probably have a hard time remembering its chaos: Star Pass Pool Party. With more than 10,000 confirmed guests on Facebook, and 3,000 wristbands sold, I’d say Star Pass is an obsession. The residents of Campus Crossings at Star Pass have two options: 1.) Flee the property or 2.) Stock the fridges and have a playlist ready because UA is taking over.
Some compare the morning of Star Pass to Christmas. People go to sleep with visions of bikinis and booze dancing in their heads and wake up more excited than any other day of the year. When the pool party shuts down around 2 p.m., the party doesn’t stop. Star Passers are seen all over Tucson in their bikinis and board shorts. Regardless of rumors that The Standard out-partied Star Pass this year, Star Pass was the ultimate April 2011 obsession.
Summer … school
With only a few days of May under the belt of spring semester, all I hear about is school. There is the occasional Mexico/ California trip underway but May’s obsession is summer school. After a long, grueling year of exams, papers and labs, why not get ahead with credits? UA’s obsession with summer sessions is solid evidence that Wildcats play hard and work hard. Have a great summer and, if you find yourself having difficulty tolerating your friends from home who attend Arizona State University, remember that fall 2011 begins in a short 109 days. — Caroline Nachazel is a sophomore studying journalism and communication.

Bad times signal a light ahead Tanner Weigel ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
A
t some point in physics class you are taught that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now, with that principle in mind, I would propose that for every bad, evil or horrific occurrence in this world, something equally joyous, uplifting or just also comes about. Does this seem outlandish? Just hear me out. If ever you watch the network or cable news channels, or read any newspaper, then you likely have a fairly pessimistic view of your future. This is certainly understandable due to how many breaking news headlines have to do with some sort of war, natural disaster or geopolitical crisis. For instance, dur-
ing the past semester alone, we had to deal with the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, continuous forecasts on the financial woes of our nation, earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan, uncertainties about nuclear disaster, the continued belligerence of Iran, the crackdown on protestors by authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, massive tornados in the South, the Libyan crisis ‌ Unfortunately, the list goes on. But there is light on the horizon. There is always a bright spot, provided that one looks for it. The shootings in January of Giffords and others led to an unprecedented spurt of citywide and national unity. The devas-
tation wrought upon Japan by recent earthquakes and tsunamis revealed the strong character of the Japanese. A complete lack of looting, calm lines of people waiting for relief supplies, representatives of the nuclear plants that actually bow to those to whom they ask for forgiveness — Japan’s reaction to tragedy is truly inspiring. Even as scores of protesters lose their lives in the fight for democracy in the Middle East, results are actually coming in the form of nervous dictators, and the toppling of regimes. These people are looking for a better future for themselves and their children by demanding well past due freedom. And what about radicalism around the world? Well, Osama bin Laden is toast, so there’s another blow to terrorism. And the economy? It’s still shaky, but steadily strengthening. And by all accounts, charitable acts to those in need are on the rise. Now, if there is anything that really tends to lead to divi-
sion and low morale, it is politics. The back and forth between leaders on Capitol Hill and the White House seems to cause a lot of headache without leading to any results. But wait, isn’t that what a healthy democracy is all about? Debate, disagreement and, dare I say, gridlock? If we were North Korea or Zimbabwe or one of the countries in the Middle East, could you imagine the violence that would ensue if a ruling party was defeated in elections such as those last November in the U.S.? Sometimes we take the peaceful transfer of power for granted. And what about this whole business of the polarization of political parties? I don’t know about you, but I choose my friends pretty much regardless of political affiliation. Really, some of the problems in the world seem tame when you consider that 200 years ago, or even 50, depending on the region of the world, a lack of technology and preparedness allowed earthquakes and tornados and hurricanes to
take many more lives. And with a global network of media, at least the dictators think twice before they thoughtlessly massacre their own people. I don’t pretend to diminish the severity of many of the issues in the world today. But I really cannot think of a more hopeful and promising time to live in the greatest and most blessed country on earth. There is definite value in having a little pessimism, even some healthy skepticism now and again. But when the world seems like it is collapsing around you, optimism may be a little more comforting. ClichÊ, clichÊ, I know. So to all those who are graduating this semester and truly going off into the world, don’t stress out too much, really. The roughest patches are always followed by the best experiences life can offer. — Tanner Weigel is a sophomore studying history and Spanish. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

POLICEBEAT By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Enjoy the ‘high life’
A non-UA affiliated man was cited for consuming liquor in public outside of the Main Library on April 27. A University of Arizona Police Department officer on bike patrol noticed the man on the ground of the grassy area next to the library at 4:11 p.m. The officer approached the man to make sure he was alright and, upon approach, noticed him pick up a glass bottle and take a drink from it. The bottle contained a yellowish liquid and upon closer inspection, the officer recognized it as a 32-ounce bottle of Miller High Life beer. “I like my beer,” the man told the officer. “I think I should be able to drink where I want.” However, the man was still cited for drinking in public. The officer then told the man to leave UA property and not return without legitimate reason. “OK, I will go drink somewhere else,” the man said as he left.
Need to report to UAPD before you can replace
A female UA student’s green card was stolen from the Main Library at the beginning of the semester. She was using the bathroom in the library and somehow misplaced her wallet around 7 p.m. In the several months that followed, the student was able to cancel her credit cards and replace her identification. However, she was not able to replace her permanent resident card because she did not file a police report. The incident was finally recorded and victim’s rights forms were given to the student. There were no witnesses or suspects at the time.
Bro kicks dent in car in plain sight of owner
A male UA student was allegedly seen kicking a dent into the fender of a car on April 22. A UAPD officer was dispatched to the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage, at 2:15 a.m., about a car alarm when he noticed a truck in front of Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall with its alarm sounding and lights flashing. The officer was able to determine that this was the only vehicle with an active alarm in the area. He approached the vehicle and made contact with a female UA student who owned the car. She told the officer the alarm would not turn off and that she could not start the car while the alarm is active. The student contacted roadside service, but asked the officer for assistance in disconnecting the car alarm speaker. After disconnecting the alarm, she told the officer that another student had damaged her car. According to the student, the man kicked the front fender of the trunk and fell to the ground. After returning to his feet, he high-fived his friends and walked into the dorm, leaving a softball sized dent in the fender. A resident assistant of the hall knew the suspect and showed the officer to his room. The suspected male UA student was not in his room and could not be reached on his cell phone. The officer then returned to the female student and informed her that detectives may contact her about the damage. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

College students grew up in era of ‘evil’ McClatchy Tribune
SEATTLE — You could call them “Generation bin Laden.” Now college-age, most were not even teenage when the planes hit. Sleepy-eyed and uncomprehending, they listened as adults tried to explain what happened while protecting them from the horror of it. Now in their late teens to early 20s, they’re the generation whose lives have been dominated by a “War on Terror” that has colored political races, shaped budget discussions and spun policy decisions. Lurking at the center has been the terrorist known to all: Osama bin Laden. “Every kid has what they’re afraid of — monsters, boogeymen,” said Evan Smith, 19, a sophomore at the University of Washington. “It’s kind of an embarrassing admission, but the thing I was afraid of, and had nightmares about, were terrorists — men in ski masks, with AK-47s. That was the image I got that I should be afraid
of as an American citizen.” News that their monster was finally dead brought thousands of young people to the streets Sunday evening outside the White House and in Times Square, their images captured in news photos and footage as they cheered and waved U.S. flags. Closer to home, there were fireworks and celebrations, too. The attacks in New York and Washington on Sept. 11, 2001, and the decade-long aftermath have loomed large for everyone in his generation, said Chris Jordan, 22, a University of Washington graduate student. “It’s been such a dominant story line in our news over the last decade, I think it’s really shaped a lot of young people’s thoughts,” he said. Many college students say they believe bin Laden’s death has closed only a chapter — not the book: Political, religious and economic issues are still unfolding. “The death of Osama, it’s symbolic for all of us because we all grew up knowing
this was the ultimate evil,” Smith said. “But where do we go from here?” For many of this generation, the world changed while they were still in elementary or middle school. Like baby boomers whose young minds snapped mental Polaroids of their surroundings when President Kennedy was shot, many of these students can recall exactly where they were when the planes hit the World Trade Center. Kevin Eggers was in seventh-grade. “My sister and I were sitting on the stairway railing. My mom, who was not very emotional, had tears in her eyes,” recalls Eggars, now 22 and student-body president at Seattle University. “It was one of two times I remember seeing my mother cry. I remember thinking: ‘This is real serious.’” Little by little, they learned what it was all about. It was serious, enough to launch wars, deploy troops, spend the country into debt. Along the way, victories were declared, but bin Laden was still alive.
Over the years, some, like Smith, figured they’d never catch him. “It kind of became a non-issue for me. I figured this is just a symbolic enemy we’re using to justify our war.” Bin Laden’s death at the hands of U.S. agents Sunday came to most of these digitally connected students through Facebook and text messages. “I was glued to a Facebook feed to see what other people’s reaction was,” said Jordan. Like the 9/11 attacks, the death was a uniting force for those with differing politics, Jordan said. “He’s one of those huge figures. He was always kind of Public Enemy No. 1 in the mind of my generation. Even though people were really unsatisfied and unhappy about the Iraq war, people still hated him for what he did, and wanted to see him get what he deserved.” Some were uncomfortable with the celebrating: the crowd at the White House, the cheering and the firecrackers some heard near the UW campus.

However, after a few days of growth, Weddle made a vow not to shave until terrorist leader Osama bin Laden was captured or proven dead. He originally figured that would happen in a month or two, but as the months and years passed by, Weddle started looking more like a member of ZZ Top or one of the guys on the Smith Brothers Cough Drops box.

I was willing to look past the beard because I love him.” Luckily, she doesn’t have to look past it anymore. As of 7:48 p.m. PST Sunday night, Weddle’s whiskers are a memory. — AOL News

Bin Laden’s death means teacher can finally shave beard After 3,454 days, a middle school teacher in Ephrata, Wash., is finally free to shave a beard he has been growing since Sept. 11, 2001, in the name of freedom. Gary Weddle, 50, was so affected by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon that he stopped shaving. “When the twin towers came down, I was horrified and I was glued to that television,” Weddle told KOMO News during an interview in June 2003. “And (I) realized that not only was I not taking showers, I

This Student Success Story takes us from a decidedly musical bent to a research lab. UA Grad, Chelsea Joseph, was involved in both band and choir programs during her high school years in Tempe, Arizona. “I competed in numerous competitions throughout the years including All State Orchestra, Band and Choir, where I was the first chair piccolo player in the state as well as the eleventh chair soprano singer. When I came to the University of Arizona I majored in flute performance with the dream of becoming a member of a famous symphony orchestra.” Fast forward to graduation day, May 2009, and you’ll find Chelsea moving to a different tune, having just completed her degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology with minors in Music and Psychology.

Whether you realize it or not, you have a rich network of connections in the very family and friends you will be bar-b-queing hamburgers with poolside this summer. And your network of connections can ultimately lead to a promising employment opportunity. When you think about it, finding a job is all about making connections. How effectively you develop those connections can determine how successful you are at pursuing the career of your dreams and finding the job you really want.

Illinois governor vows to veto concealed-gun bill now in House McClatchy Tribune CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn sought to stall a push to allow â&#x20AC;&#x153;concealed carryâ&#x20AC;? in Illinois, saying Tuesday that he would veto any measure lawmakers sent him that would allow citizens to walk around with loaded guns in public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the business of trying to increase danger to the people of Illinois. We want to work with our law enforcement and prevent bad things from happening,â&#x20AC;? the governor said at a morning news conference. The threat of a veto from Quinn did little to deter supporters who have been emboldened by last summer â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that tossed out Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longstanding gun ban. Hours after Quinn announced his opposition in Chicago, a House committee recommended approval of the latest version of a concealed-carry measure. Illinois and Wisconsin are the only two states without some form of such a law. National Rifle Association lobbyist Todd Vandermyde said Quinn â&#x20AC;&#x153;seems
to have a tin ear on what the needs of this state are.â&#x20AC;? He said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s close to building enough support to pass legislation in the House and maintained that the Senate is an easier sell. But it could be difficult for the gun rights lobby to overturn a veto should the measure land on the governor â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk. Because the bill could overrule local gun ordinances, supporters would need a three-fifths vote â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not a simple majority â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in both the House and Senate to sidestep a veto. Under the proposal, a person first would apply to a local sheriff. The sheriff, who has the right to object, would have 30 days to send the application to the Illinois State Police for review. Without objections, the state police would have about 45 days to sign off. To be eligible, a person would need to be at least 21, hold a state firearms owner identification card, take an eight-hour class on the use of force, and possess shooting-range qualifications, Vandermyde said. Concealed weapons would not be allowed in schools, universities, prisons
and state buildings. A person would not be allowed to carry a concealed gun into a bar or restaurant that primarily serves alcoholic beverages. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a partial nod to concerns expressed by Cook County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Anita Alvarez and others who fear regular bar fights would turn into gun fights if concealed carry were allowed. The proposal has led to an emotional debate among crime victims and their families, who are torn between wanting to prevent more violence and the possibility that their loved ones could have defended themselves if armed. Jennifer Loudon, the wife of slain Chicago Police Officer Thor Soderberg, appeared with Quinn to plead with lawmakers to oppose conceal carry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cannot imagine a reason you need to carry a concealed, loaded weapon unless youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to use it on another human being,â&#x20AC;? Loudon said.â&#x20AC;?I do not want another family to ever have go through what our family has had to go through.â&#x20AC;? At the Capitol, Republican state Rep. John Cavaletto silenced a packed
committee room as he wondered if his daughter-in-law could have been saved from an attacker if she had a gun. A mother of two, Rita â&#x20AC;&#x153;Michelleâ&#x20AC;? Cavaletto was intentionally hit with a Jeep, dragged into some bushes and later repeatedly stabbed while on a morning walk in October 2007 in downstate Marion County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Michele had a gun in her fanny pack when she walked, she mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to save herself,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;if.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153; But former Carpentersville resident Mary Kay Mace, who lost her 19-yearold daughter Ryanne in the 2008 Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day shootings at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, said she does not buy arguments that having guns available in the classroom that day would have helped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To tell you the truth, I kind of find it insulting that anybody would suggest that my daughter would be alive if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just taught her how to use a gun and to take it to school,â&#x20AC;? Mace said. The committee sent the measure to the full House on a 12-1 vote.

SPORTS SOFTBALL continued from page A14 are currently on a five-game winning streak. The Golden Bears have only lost one game in their last 11 contests and have to travel to Oregon State this weekend to take on the last-place Beavers. Arizona’s bats have been struggling and that could continue when Cal rolls into town. The Golden Bears lead the conference in team ERA with a low 1.70. Cal’s pitching, rather than its offense, is a major reason it has hold of second place in the conference. Cal is currently seventh in the conference in runs scored, hits and runs batted in, all categories where Arizona ranks second. If Fowler has returned from her concussion in the next two weeks, the California series could be a huge momentum boost for the Wildcats going into the postseason. Fowler’s return could be the
arizona daily wildcat • wednesday, may 4,2011 • biggest influence on the rest of the season for the Wildcats. At this point in the season, it’s unlikely that Arizona would host the Regional play in the confines of Hillenbrand Stadium. For Candrea, however, his concerns lie with finishing conference play. “We’ve got Cal (at home),” he said, “so we’ve got to finish strong in the Pac-10 first of all and then worry about what happens after that.”

ROY continued from page A14 remember how popular Twitter was in 2011. And if we’re really in time capsule mode, let’s also remember that time Osama bin Laden died and nobody on campus rioted, our black president, Rebecca Black, the time BlackBerrys existed, how awful Cox Communications was and (back to death) Four Loko. • Thank you to the extended family of past and present Wildcatters — some of whom have become close friends — governed by our advisor Mark Woodhams, the crazy father who I respect so much now but know, years from now, the appreciation will continuously grow. • Finally, the biggest thanks to my parents in Massachusetts, who were crazy enough to let me come out here. Oh, and thank you to the kid in the Honda Center parking lot for giving me an anecdotal lede to this goodbye column to realize the power of the Daily Wildcat.
The part I’ll remember most from that Duke game happened way after it ended. Momo Jones had finally come back to the locker room after getting his urine sampled by the NCAA (yeah, he played that well). It was only me and him. Everybody else had boarded the team bus. The other reporters were gone and busy hacking away at their stories. Momo smirked, unwrapped the tape from his ankles and let it all out before I even had to ask a question. “You struggle, you struggle, you struggle. And all the struggles, this is what it amounts to,” Jones told me softly. “Forty minutes away from the Final Four. Don’t get no better than that.” Right there, the kid from Harlem, N.Y., came all this way to capture his college dreams and ambitions. Right there, the kid from the Daily Wildcat captured his too. — Bryan Roy is an interdisciplinary studies senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

BASEBALL continued from page A14 favorable for Arizona. After sweeping Southern California last weekend, the Wildcats won’t play a team in the top half of the conference standings, and the two Washington schools have a combined conference record of 9-24. Although Arizona’s bullpen struggled at the start of conference play, it has become a strength in the past two weeks — getting all three wins against Southern California. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Arizona offense leads the conference in nearly every statistical category. The Wildcats lay claim to a .325 batting average, a .456 slugging percentage, a .387 on-base percentage, 486 hits, 272 RBIs, 19 triples and 683 total bases — all leading the conference.

COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy sports writer
We were walking across the Honda Center parking lot. Two rows over, about 30 feet away, someone spotted me and got all excited. “Hey Bryan Roy!” I looked over as he shouted. “Nice job picking Duke!” Full sarcasm. The kid was in a small group of UA students tailgating before the Elite Eight in Anaheim, Calif. Two days earlier in these sports pages I had picked Duke to beat Arizona. “Hey, thanks!” I yelled back. I smirked and kept stride. “Do you know that kid?” fellow Daily Wildcat hoops writer Kevin Zimmerman asked. “Nope,” I said. We laughed until we realized, believe it or not, how often we underestimate the power of these sentences we write. Our conversation then shifted to how, just two days ago, nobody believed Arizona would beat — no, crush — Duke and play Connecticut for a trip to the Final Four. And just four years ago, I never believed I would be covering it. This is the part of goodbye columns that can go real cliché real quick: Boring reflections about how four years go by so quickly, how working at the Daily Wildcat was the experience of my life, how I got to travel all around the Pac-10 and take two Sweet 16 trips, yada yada yada. I could make this even worse by dropping inside jokes from Starr Pass pool parties, or self-promoting the bylines and awards I won during eight semesters here. Instead, I’ll offer a few thank-yous. • First, thank you Syracuse University for denying me. I’ll take 85 degrees and sunny every day of the week (as if we had a choice, HA!). • Thank you Jamelle Horne, the four-time pick of “Team X Factor” in our basketball guide. From the tragedies to the triumphs, who has left Arizona with a more unique and polarized experience? • Thank you Derrick Williams, for playing along with our April Fools joke that he would be announcing his decision to go pro on the Ellen Degeneres Show. All this was done through Twitter, so reading back on this column five years from now, let’s ROY, page A13

Once-promising season on the brink of disappointment By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For head coach Mike Candrea and the Arizona softball team, it starts and ends with UCLA. “Right now, the rest of our season is next week,” he said. “We’ve got UCLA at UCLA and that’s going to be important.” For being the top two teams at the end of the season last year, the Wildcats and the Bruins aren’t faring so well. The Wildcats (37-13, 8-7 Pacific 10 Conference) are trying to work their way out of a slump that has left them in fourth place in Pac-10 play. Arizona dropped two straight series to ASU and Oregon. No. 14 UCLA (31-13, 7-8) is riding a four-game losing streak, including three straight to California, the Wildcats’ final opponent of the year. Arizona fell three spots to No. 13 in the ESPN/USA Softball rankings, but the last two weeks of the season could be even more damaging to its record with the return of starting pitcher Kenzie Fowler still unknown. Both teams struggled to produce runs last weekend despite getting adequate performances from their pitching staffs. Center fielder Lauren Schutzler said that while the games played for the national title in June would serve as inspiration, this week’s preparation would be crucial to Arizona’s performance in the series in Los Angeles, Calif. “I’m ready (for UCLA). We have a couple days of practice,” Schutzler said. “We really need to ramp things up and go hard and practice with a lot of intensity. But I’m definitely going in there with a chip on my shoulder.” The classic softball rivalry will be renewed again on Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at noon. Friday’s game can be seen on FS-Arizona on tape delay. After UCLA, Arizona returns home to host the California Golden Bears (34-9, 10-5), who SOFTBALL, page A13

Baseball closes out regular season
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Starting pitcher Kurt Heyer and the rest of the Arizona pitching staff seem to have gotten it together recently. The Wildcats have four weekend series left before the NCAA’s begin.
The next four weeks will decide the postseason fate of the Arizona baseball team. The Wildcats, sitting at 27-16 overall and 9-9 in Pacific 10 Conference play, will host Alcorn State this weekend before continuing Pac-10 play next week by traveling to Washington State and Stanford, then returning home to host Washington. Arizona started off the season ranked No. 19 in the Baseball America Preseason Poll , but the Wildcats were dropped from the rankings after a series loss to UCLA in April, in the middle of a stretch in which Arizona dropped four of its first five Pac10 series. Arizona won four of five series openers during that streak behind ace Kurt Heyer (6-3, 2.56 ERA), but bullpen struggles on Saturdays and sporadic starting pitching from Tyler Hale (3-4, 5.26 ERA) on Sundays prevented the Wildcats from capturing a series victory.

Found-object fashion, shades of Kanye ignite chilly Main Event showcase
L
By Rudo Sibande Arizona Daily Wildcat
ast Saturday, under a host of stage lights and a starry sky, fashion fans and fanatics gathered to observe the stylistic merits of well-known Tucson designers. There may not have been an Anna Wintour gracing the front row’s center seat, nor a Garance Doré lingering backstage, but the final night and main event of Tucson Fashion Week was nothing short of spectacular. The show began fashionably late at 7:30 p.m., and the collections spanned everything from newspaper lingerie, comme Victoria Secret’s annual soiree, to chain mail face guards and gritty couture — a distant cousin to the younger Christopher Kane. A premiere showing of neon-colored, bright leather pieces alluded to Karl Lagerfeld’s game-changing body-con designs, and proved that for spring 2011, color is back and here to stay. Each new collection boasted unique technical qualities and models who weren’t afraid to dance to the music.
By 9:45, however, the wind picked up, and everyone felt the chill. The show was running behind schedule, and the models were exhausted. People were moving to the Surly Wench for drinks, and the crowd was beginning to wane. At 10:11, in a moment that resembled the unveiling of a young Naomi Campbell or Chanel Iman, dancer and fashion show veteran Charity Reid stunned the audience, dominating the runway to the heart-thumping bass beat of Kanye West’s “Power.” Power, indeed. The crowd began cheering the moment she hit the catwalk and didn’t stop applauding until she had disappeared. Perhaps it was the feather headdress and war paint, but it’s more likely that her appeal was in the unapologetic way she took on the stage, and everyone who was watching. After the show, Reid was literally glowing. “I’m going to be in the industry,” she said with a smile. “Whether I like it or not, there’s no question about it.”
Performers play with fire By Kim Kotel Arizona Daily Wildcat

Michelle Larson twirls fire fans during a fire-dance workshop. Elemental Artistry provides summer fire-dance workshops from June through August.
Did Tucson just get hotter? We’re not talking about the degrees steadily creeping up into the summer months. Elemental Artistry, a professional entertainment group, specializes in tossing, twirling, eating, breathing, and doing all kinds of things with fire — and they’re doing it all over Tucson. After moving here in 2000, Michelle Baas searched for organizations where she could continue to utilize her batontwirling talents. “I used to twirl baton for 12 years, and in 2000 I went to the world championship,” Baas said. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Tucson, where she stumbled upon the art of fire dancing. The choreography accompanied with the twisting and tossing of blazing props intrigued Baas, and the relation seemed close enough to her previous art form that she decided to try her hand at playing with fire — professionally, of course. Then in 2007, when Elemental Artistry’s founder was looking to step down, Baas was looking to step up. “I had already been doing (fire
dancing) for seven years,” said Baas, who took the chance to act as the group’s artistic director. In 2008, with Baas’ encouragement, Michelle Larson joined Elemental Artistry as a co-artistic director. “I had a lot of experience with belly dancing and other types of performance arts,“ Larson said. “So when Michelle asked me to join … it was a smooth transition into performing and learning how to work with fire as well.” Stage fright never presented itself as an obstacle to either Baas or Larson. “We only needed to build a relationship with the fire,” said Baas, whose relationship with flame flourished with ease. “I really like the element of danger when working with fire. And the heat that it produces is exhilarating to be around.” Larson concurred. “I just love to move and dance and be a part of something — to be able to create an experience of artistic expression,” she said. “So for me, it could be fire, it could be belly dancing, it could be synchronized swimming. … It’s fun and exciting … to create with your body and express yourself through movement.” Fire dancing has experienced
tremendous growth in popularity in the last few years thanks to the Internet and YouTube. Elemental Artistry welcomes the craze, and has spent its time creating new material and learning even more complicated tricks. Tucson provides the ideal environment for fire dancing to reach new heights. “You can be outside all year round,” Larson said. “Tucson draws an artistic-minded community. … There’s a lot of different types of movement and artistic expression going on, so we’re able to build a community and network with people (who) are interested in that and ready to push themselves to learn more.” Though most of the fire dancers performing with Elemental Artistry are professionals, “we have students who, once they’ve reached a certain level and … they’re ready to get out there (and start performing), we’re able to integrate them in too,” Larson said. Elemental Artistry holds regular classes for anyone in the community fascinated by flames. “It’s something they can do,” Larson said. “The risk of injury is very, very low as long as you’re practicing what you’ve learned, are safe with fuels (and are) paying attention.”

Performance artists take flight with acro-yoga By Heather Price-Wright Arizona Daily Wildcat On a breezy, sunny afternoon in Himmel Park, Aaron Farber, Emily Wilkinson and Kyra Weinberger are doing what they call “playing.” Farber, who is a “base,” lies on his back on a yoga mat, his legs extended, feet soles-up in the air. The two women take turns balancing on his feet, using every possible body part. They glide gracefully between positions, first extending their whole bodies flat in the air, like swimmers, then moving effortlessly into splits or beautifully arching backbends. Farber supports them, adjusting his feet or extending his arms and clasping their hands to aid their transitions. The result looks like a lovely cross between ballet, gymnastics and yoga. The pairs’ bodies seem completely in sync, the trust between partners complete. The three are members of Flight School Acrobatics, a troupe of acrobats and acro-yoga practitioners who perform in Tucson and throughout the state. “Next weekend, we’re going to Sedona for a prom,” laughed Farber, an aerospace engineering doctoral candidate at the UA. The troupe has 10 to 12 members, depending on “who’s in town,”
according to Farber. Their rehearsals depend on the troupe’s performance schedule, but most troupe members work with other members of the large Tucson acro-yoga community up to three times a week. According to Wilkinson, acroyoga in the United States is a fusion of Thai massage, acrobatics and yoga. Thai massage involves “using your own body to manipulate another person’s body to put them in a position where you can give them massage,” Wilkinson said. Farber added that elements of acro-yoga can be “geared toward therapeutics,” but that the practice also incorporates “partner work, communication and trust.” “Much more of it is geared toward having a good time,” Farber said. “When we practice, we call it ‘playing.’ There’s usually a lot of laughing.” Though some Tucson yoga studios offer acro-yoga workshops or “jams,” Flight School members can most often be seen practicing outdoors, in parks or, occasionally, on the UA Mall. The troupe found each other organically, said Wilkinson, a thirdyear UA medical student. “I actually went to the first acro-yoga class that was offered in Tucson, and immediately fell

Kyra Weinberger, a yoga instructor, and Emily Wilkinson, a medical student, are held aloft by Aaron Farber, an aerospace engineering doctoral candidate, while they practice acro-yoga on Saturday. All three are members of Flight School Acrobats, an acrobat and acro-yoga troupe that performs throughout Arizona.
in love with it,” she said. “As the community grew in Tucson, it became very apparent that there was a smaller group that was really dedicated to acro.” That small group began meeting outside of yoga classes, and eventually began discussing the possibility of forming a performance-oriented acrobatics group. “A number of those people that were drawn to it are also artists,” Wilkinson said. “If a performance artist is drawn to a new craft, I think they want to automatically put it on stage.” Wilkinson and Farber agree that, while they would not have considered themselves performance artists before finding acro-yoga, Flight School Acrobatics has helped them to define themselves as artists. On the other hand, Weinberger, a yoga instructor and fellow Flight School member, has explored many performance outlets. “I was a professional ballet dancer and an opera singer,” she said. But she no longer performs in either of those capacities. “Acro is exactly what I need to still keep my hamminess on stage,” she said. “Acro does something for me that no other type of performance has done for me. It makes me happier than almost anything else.” All three have been struck by how open the Tucson community is to performance art. “The yoga community, for one, is huge,” Weinberger gushed. “And I don’t think, even living in larger cities, I’ve ever seen such a pull for the carnival arts.” Farber thinks the Tucson weather and outdoorsy spirit may have something to do with the proliferation of performance artists. “A lot more people are interested in being outside and being active,” he said. “I’ve never been anywhere where I’ve met so many people who were into performance art. For a city this size, it’s really impressive.” So why Tucson? Weinberger speculates that Tucson’s relative dearth of professional performance organizations has caused artists to fill that gap in more creative ways. “There are so many people doing their own thing, and it works,” she said. “The lack of that organization brings this amazing un-organization. “And there’s so much talent,” she added. All three encourage anyone interested in acro-yoga to try it. “It’s really something you can just do,” Farber said. “You don’t have to have some background in gymnastics to just hang.”

Garrett MacDonald, left, Alex Ramirez, center, and Jennifer Myers, right, perform capoeira during Tucson Meet Yourself 2010.
Capoeira club all about the energy By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat When Garrett MacDonald was a sophomore in college, he missed how active he was in high school and decided to YouTube “something a little less competitive, but still physical.” What he found was capoeira. A mixture of martial arts, dance, song and music created by slaves searching for freedom in Brazil, capoeira fosters both a performance and a community aspect. MacDonald said this mixture of social and physical energies is what makes this particular performance style special. “It’s not just about the physical movement,” he said. “There’s a whole realm of community and awareness of what matters in life.“ MacDonald, a linguistics senior, first began attending classes at the Student Recreation Center soon after that first YouTube click, then later joined the Capoeira Club at the UA. But after his first year, when he became president, he realized there was a lot of work left to do to build the club. “When I became president, there was no members, no activities, nothing,” he said. Now, the club boasts a strong new incoming president, a treasurer and more than a dozen committed members to the club. “It was created for slaves fighting for freedom in Brazil,” he said. “And you can still feel that. Our community now is still very close, very strong.” MacDonald said spreading
that feeling of community to the greater Tucson area is a part of their mission, letting people know that art is a major part of life. “I’d tell people to try something new,” he said. “When you stay with what you know, life becomes stagnant. Then you never really experience the horizons of life. That’s what I got from capoeira but you can get that through any art form, through any perspective.” The theme of axe, a Brazilian word that refers to the shared energy between capoeira performers on the edges and center of the circle, is what unites a group and helps members to recognize cultural differences. “It’s when you understand culture is beautiful and culture is important that it comes together,” MacDonald said. “Although we do come together in the melting pot of America, recognizing that individual cultural identity — that’s important.” But the most important part to MacDonald? The connection with others. “What it boils down to there, we have a circle and everyone stands in it together,” MacDonald said. “You know, we’re not actually trying to kill each other, the performance is how we show what it (capoeira) is, but it’s the conversation that you have with the other person within the game that is what’s important. It’s the conversation of call and response. That conversation is the most important aspect of capoeira.”

Dear Beastie Boys,
Cancer can be a real downer, but you spun that potential tragedy into pure gold in Hot Sauce Committee Part Two. Especially after the Grammy award-winning, all instrumental The Mix-Up (2007), it is good to hear why, year after year, you are an act that keeps growing in popularity, talent and critical acclaim. This eighth album’s got callbacks to what made you always great, in the funky beats of the aptly named “Make Some Noise” or the even more aptly named “Crazy Ass Shit.” But it’s also got new tricks to keep the trio relevant — namely that revamped single from two years ago, “Too Many Rappers” featuring Nas, and a summer song waiting to happen called “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,” featuring Santigold. Hell yes. Who knows why random, no-name rappers were called out for blowing smoke at the microphone, but your words of wisdom still ring true: “Too many rappers, and there’s still not enough emcees.” Good then, good now, Jazmine Woodberry
Letters from Wildlife
Dear Fleet Foxes,
Thanks to your music, I know what it’s like to dance in a meadow full of baby deer and/or watch the sunrise while flying into a cloud. Yeah, that’s right. You guys take folk to a much … “higher” level. Your new album Helplessness Blues is no exception. True, the first track, “Montezuma,” is sure to be played on the radio of every Urban Outfitters for the next couple months, but it’s still a magical experience. “Bedouin Dress” combines a country-like twang with just a little bit of Celtic fiddling to create a trippy but beautiful melody. And I’m pretty sure that somewhere in Middle Earth, there are hobbits dancing on tables to “Sim Sala Bim.” “The Plains / Bitter Dancer” showcases your always-impressive vocal harmonies, and “The Shrine / An Argument” throws some blues into the mix. Of course, the lyrics of “The Shrine” are probably describing an acid trip — but hey, that’s what all your listeners will be feeling by the time the album ends. Keep it up, ’cause Ke$ha might be shooting unicorns, but you wrote your music while riding one. Seriously. Love, Miranda Butler
Dear Jennifer Lopez,
I was almost certain that after your marriage with Ben Affleck fell apart and those bad movies, you would just stop making music. Then you tricked me, using Pitbull and a spicy electro-inspired dance track in “On the Floor” to confuse me into listening again. Well played. The rest of your new album Love? evoked that question mark in my mind a lot. Why does “(What Is) Love” sound just like a Nelly Furtado song? Weird. How much did you pay Lil Wayne to be on this album? Young Money. Why would you sample the weird jungle ethnic orgy song from the second “Matrix” movie for this song called “Papi”? Yes, seriously. Stay away. Won’t be fooled again, Remy Albillar
CAT MIX Five songs for your finals study montage ‘Bulletproof’ La Roux
1
This lyrical dedication is for those graduating seniors out there: “Been there, done that messed around / I’m having fun, don’t put me down.” Sounds like the right attitude for finals to me! Senioritis is kicking in hard and fast, but stay diligent. As veterans, we can’t let the underclassmen see us sweat. Stay bullet proof. — Remy Albillar
‘Eye of the Tiger’ Survivor
2
This driving power ballad would make any montage 10 times more bad ass. So go ahead, crush a Styrofoam cup full of hot coffee on your forehead and shake off that scalding liquid like it’s sweat from your brow. The best thing about this song is that, as numerous ad campaigns have proven, you can substitute just about any combination of words for the real lyrics, so it can be tailor-made to your studying montage needs. — Heather Price-Wright
ANY Hans Zimmer soundtrack

“The Dark Knight,” “The Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Inception,” “Sherlock Holmes.” Nothing gets the brain juices a-flowing like the powerful melodies the Zimmer creates. Maybe some of his brilliance will rub off on you. — Dallas Williamson

‘I’ll Make a Man Out of You’ from ‘Mulan’ Donny Osmond
4
Don’t deny it. Every time you hear a sentence that begins “Let’s get down to business,” don’t you automatically fill in “to defeat the Huns?” True, you might not need to literally be a man to own a final, but something about this song is empowering to everyone. — Miranda Butler
‘Tom Sawyer’ Rush
5
From Neil Peart’s steady beat and Geddy Lee’s opening slide of slippery synth, Rush’s ubiquitous Twain-inspired hit is a song that screams getting stuff done — ’80s style! You got this. You know your “mind is not for rent / to any god or government.” Well, maybe it is for another week or so, but after that it’s smooth sailing down the Mississip’, baby. — Brandon Specktor

Local shows to sizzle through Tucson summer By Kellie Mejdrich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Chilling in Tucson this summer? Like music? There’s a little something for everyone this summer, with a smattering of talented national bands rolling through Tucson.
May 6
If you finish finals early, go celebrate with one of Tucson’s finest underground favorites: The Pork Torta. They are releasing a CD with Mr. Free and the Satellite Freakout and Monster Pussy. The $5 entrance fee is a bargain for what will be a raucous dance party. Show starts at 9 p.m. at Plush.
May 8
The beloved forest crooners, Fleet Foxes, will be playing at the Rialto Theatre, but they’re sold out — don’t get your hopes up.
May 9
Pinback is coming to Plush for $15 advance, $16 at the door. This band is hard to describe, but think of a metallic sound mixed with melodic vocals and punchy rhythms. Doors open at 8:30 p.m.
May 10
Eisley is visiting Club Congress (tickets are $18 advance, $20 at the door, and doors open at 6:30 p.m.). With heavily lyrical electric guitar, their music has a flavor
reminiscent of their Texas roots, but with a disarmingly sweet, indie sensibility aided by the DuPree sisters’ soft vocals. If you’re low on cash, or just sad that you missed Fleet Foxes, go to Solar Culture and see Lord Huron, an acoustic-based, multi-instrumental band on May 10.
May 13
Phoenix-local What Laura Says are releasing a CD at Plush. Tickets are only $5 to see these lyric-heavy folkies who blend a poppy upbeat sound with piano tunes. The show starts at 9:30 p.m., and also features Black Carl and Mik Garrison, two other local bands.
sometimes country-inspired vibe, Okkervil is one of those bands just sentimental enough to break your heart, but also able to bring you back to a rock-n-roll jam just as quickly. Tickets $18 advance, $20 day of.
July 25
If you’re still in Tucson, or you just want to come back to school early, singersongwriter Ben Folds is on tour again, coming to the Rialto Theatre. Tickets cost
a pretty penny, $40.50 advance, $41 day of, but then Mr. Folds has been around the block.
Remember, this is just a tiny fraction of what’s happening this summer, but it should get you inspired to get out there and hear what’s going on — you could probably see a show every night. Check local venues for new bookings. Party on, Tucson!
May 26
If you’ve got some cash lying around, treat yourself to Warren G at the Rialto Theatre for some old-school rap. Tickets are $25 general admission, $28 day of show. Doors open at 8 p.m.
July 9
The Generationals are coming to Club Congress at 7 p.m. With tickets priced at a measly $8, this show is a steal. Pop-esque and upbeat with driving rhythms and guitar-heavy melodies, they’ll probably fuel a dance party all night.

Ben Folds smiles at the thought of seeing you at his show on July 25 at the Rialto Theatre. Folds is one of many national acts stopping by Tucson this summer, including Fleet Foxes, Pinback and Okkervil River.
Where to rock outside AZ Coachella is so last month. It’s time for music fans to pick their summer music fest, and this year there are some tempting options. Here’s a breakdown:
Bonnaroo — $249.50 Perks:
• 4-day pass includes parking and camping. • 90 percent chance your campground neighbors will be totally awesome hippies, and offer you totally awesome hippie snacks • Best hip-hop lineup; Best 90s rock lineup (Primus!? Awesome.) • Comedy theatre featuring Lewis Black.
Bummers:
• Manchester, Tenn., is a long way to go by car, and camping equipment is tough to carry by plane. Take a train. • Unpredictable weather: sweltering heat turns quickly to chilling storms, and then to murky mud. Pack for all weather. • Once you’ve set up your campsite, you’re gridlocked in. Get ready to hunker down in your own grime for four days. Graphic by Stephanie Thayer/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Lollapalooza — $215 Perks:
• Held in the middle of downtown Chicago. • Most mainstream lineup. • Lenient security.
Bummers:
• Young crowd — Attended largely by Midwestern high school students. • No camping. Look for a hotel in Chi-town, now. • Shade is scarce and temperatures can reach the triple digits. Plus, wind.
Sasquatch Festival – $285 (SOLD OUT) Perks:
• Held in the beautiful Washington countryside. • Best indie lineup. • Inclusive camping, and close proximity to nature. Might as well pitch your tent in multiple campsites!
Bummers:
• Sold out - Gotta get your ticket on sketchy eBay or Craigslist. • Most pricey festival. • Contents may be unbearably hipster. — Brandon Specktor

Spoiler Alert!
Summer blockbusters have arrived Hollywood wants you to know exactly what you’re paying for this summer. Not only is 2011 a recordsetting year for sequels (there are 27 confirmed releases, according to Box Office Mojo), but the few original films coming out in the next four months don’t leave room for many questions. Don’t expect anyone to ask, for example, what “Hobo with a Shotgun” is about, or where the core conflict resides in “Cowboys & Aliens.” Wildlife has compiled the following list of summer film releases to help you beat the heat. Consider yourself forewarned.
Opens May 13 Based on the manhwa (that’s Korean for comic books) by MinWoo Hyung, “Priest” stars Paul Bettany as a Warrior Priest brooding about life after the end of the last Vampire War. He snaps out of it once he begins to hunt down the vampires that kidnapped his niece. Given the moderate success of Bettany’s role in his previous religious-themed movie, “Legion,” “Priest” looks as if it will offer a similar thrill. — Steven Kwan
Opens May 6 “Thor,” along with July’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” lays the groundwork for next year’s “The Avengers” movie. Of all the directors to take on “Thor,” Kenneth Branagh was perhaps the least likely choice. Then again, given the Shakespearean overtones in the “Thor” comics — royal family drama, romance, science as magic — Branagh might pull off an unexpected success at the box office. — Steven Kwan
Opens May 13 If your deepest desire is to watch a fart-joke-laden, girl-power version of “The Hangover,” this one’s for you. The previews hint at a pretty run-of-the-mill Judd Apatow flick — “Ew … ew … ew … awwwwww!” — but any film that’s chiefly a Kristen Wiig vehicle is all right by me. Plus, we need more films in which women are actually nice to one another, and the Wiig/ Maya Rudolph friendship looks like it might finally send a positive message about female friendship. Double-plus, Erin from “The Office”

‘Kung Fu Panda 2’
Opens May 26 Given that “Kung Fu Panda” was one of the major box office successes for DreamWorks — let’s not talk about “Shrek,” shall we? — it’s not surprising that there would be a sequel. What is surprising is the addition of two martial arts movie veterans, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Michelle Yeoh. Ska-doosh! — Steven Kwan

What we don’t know: what the hell happened to land the wolfpack in Bangkok. A lot of the elements are the same: instead of a baby, there’s a monkey, and instead of a lost groom, the bride’s brother is missing.

‘X-Men: First Class’
‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’
Opens June 3 Comic book fans are fervently hoping that “X-Men: First Class” will erase from memory the terrible treatment the X-Men movie franchise has suffered since “X-Men: The Last Stand.” With four writers credited for the screenplay — rarely a good sign — it’s a toss-up as to whether this prequel set in the 1960s will make the grade. — Steven Kwan
Opens July 1 Throwing money at a problem won’t make it go away. Case study — Michael Bay’s “Transformers” franchise, which has grossed more than $1.5 billion at the box office worldwide. Taking over Megan Fox’s role of requisite female eye candy for the third installment is Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, a Victoria’s Secret model making her acting debut. — Steven Kwan
‘Hobo With a Shotgun’
Opens June 10 at The Loft Cinema Use a deep voice to say the following aloud: In a lawless land, there is a hobo who carries out street justice with a 20-gauge shotgun. Upon learning that the hobo is played by Rutger Hauer (“Blade Runner,” “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Sin City,” “Batman Begins”), a jury of his moviegoing peers declares “Hobo With a Shotgun” guilty of a ridiculously awesome premise. — Steven Kwan
‘Winnie the Pooh’
‘Green Lantern’
Opens June 17 Ryan Reynolds as a cocky fighter jet pilot? Not a stretch to the imagination. Overcoming clunky moments from co-stars, if the current trailer is of any indication? That might take some effort from director Martin Campbell (“Edge of Darkness,” “Casino Royale”).
Opens July 22 In an interview last year, actor Chris Evans said he was initially afraid to take on the role of Captain America since he had already played another Marvel Comics character, Johnny Storm of “Fantastic Four.” Because that franchise ironically ran out of creative energy, Evans probably doesn’t have much to worry about with his new character. Like “Thor,” the success of “Captain America” will be a good barometer of next year’s “The Avengers” movie. — Steven Kwan
‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’
‘Cowboys & Aliens’
Opens July 15 The books are done, the amusement park is built, and come July 15th, the last Harry Potter
‘Conan the Barbarian’
Opens Aug. 19 This version of the Cimmerian barbarian supposedly hews more closely to creator Robert E. Howard’s pulp fantasy stories from the 1930s than to the 1982 movie starring former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. If the 21st century “Conan the Barbarian” can achieve a similar level of success, then it will provide a bloody, savage end to this year’s summer blockbusters. — Steven Kwan
Opens July 29 Having a Pip-Boy 3000 strapped on your wrist is a guarantee that you’re going to have a rough postapocalyptic life. Oh wait, this isn’t

Tired of being called a “scruffy nerf herder”or being frozen alive in carbonite? “Star Wars”fans can be pretty mean, especially with May 4th being Star Wars Day. (“May the 4th be with you.”Get it?) You’ll need to brush up on your Rodian and knowledge of lightsaber combat techniques if you want to bring your A-Wing game to Star Wars Day. Or you could follow these simple tips to throw a rad“Star Wars”party. Lightsaber-themed beverages: Whether you’re hosting sober Jedi or swigging Sith, making your punch/ jungle juice the right shades of green and red will add a nice touch to an already impressive “Star Wars”spread. Don’t betray your friends when they come over: If we learned anything from “Empire,”it’s that no one likes an awkward dinner with their future father-in-law
and/or space cops sprung on them by their best friend. The originals make great background noise: “Star Wars”marathons get boring, but“Star Wars”fans love to quote along. It should be easy enough to pop one of the good movies into a small TV in the kitchen; then people can quote and pour at the same time! Toy lightsabers are a mistake: Seems like a good idea, but the quickest way to make some people not friends anymore is to put too much sugar/alcohol and some toy lightsabers in an enclosed space. Beer leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate … leads to you having to explain a new hole in the wall to your landlord. Be flexible: Sooner or later your“Star Wars”party will devolve into a regular party; don’t fight it! You might have had a clear image of how your party was going to go, but you can guarantee that the dark side (so to speak) will cloud all things. Remember, only the Sith deal in absolutes.
“Fallout: The Movie.” Sorry. Based on the 1997 comic book by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, “Cowboys & Aliens” might be worth watching for the following reasons: 1) Seeing Olivia Wilde wear a cowboy hat. 2) Seeing Harrison Ford and Keith Carradine don their cowboy hats again. 3) The story takes place in Arizona Territory, although it was mainly filmed in New Mexico and California. 4) Cowboys versus aliens is much, much less depressing than cowboys versus Indians. — Steven Kwan
‘Captain America: The First Avenger’
Opens July 15 The last time Pooh Bear starred in a feature film was in 1977’s “The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.” In the 21st century, Disney has focused on other characters of Hundred Acre Wood for its feature films, namely Tigger, Piglet and Roo, to varying degrees of success. But Winnie the Pooh will finally take center stage again and receive Disney’s hand drawn animation treatment. — Steven Kwan
The fun side of the Force By Remy Albillar ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
movie will grace American screens. Can you hear that? It’s the sound of our generation weeping, still angry that we didn’t get our Hogwarts letter. For those of us who spent half an hour watching and rewatching the most recent trailer, we can vow that you won’t be disappointed. Harry, Ron and Hermione continue the hunt for Horcruxes as the battle against Voldemort turns into an ultimate showdown at Hogwarts. So start preparing your costumes now, because this is one midnight premiere you won’t want to miss. — Kathleen Roosa
