To cool the school

Thermal storage project puts university heating problems on ice By Remy Abillar ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Tucson residents are familiar with the battle to bear the burdens of summer living, in particular the costs of peak electrical hours during triple-digit summers, and the UA is no exception. Likewise, no desert is without an oasis. A recent tour of the UA’s Central Refrigeration Plant , located on Helen Street and Mountain Avenue , highlighted the technology and methodology the

university uses to balance out summer cooling costs. Leading the tour were Central Plant mechanic lead Bruce Haldeman and plant administrator Joe Thomas. Within the control center of the plant, Haldeman and Thomas explained the basics of thermal storage. Peak summer hours are from noon to 8 p.m., Thomas said. To offset cooling costs, the plant freezes water at night to chill the school during the day. The university thermal storage project includes three plants. Together, these

plants loop 16 million gallons of chilled water across campus and the University Medical Center every hour, helping to cool 176 buildings across campus, Haldeman said. Out back, a barrack of large silver cylinders glint in the sun whose light they were designed to counteract. The Central Refrigeration Plant makes ice in 165 of these thermal storage tanks, “the second largest after the JC Penney home office,” Thomas said. The tanks are filled with tubes of glycol, which is used to freeze the water in

the tanks overnight. During peak electrical hours, water is cooled over this ice before being distributed across campus. Thermal ice tanks aren’t the only key component of this energy-saving system. As the cool water from the plant absorbs heat from classrooms and offices, it makes its way back to the plant to be cooled and rerouted across campus. Above the tanks on the roof, 125-horsepower, 22-foot fans are used to disperse much of this heat “like a giant

To better understand the future, NASA and the UA are teaming up to extract and study a chunk of the solar system’s past. The UA will receive roughly onequarter of NASA’s $800 million contract to develop and operate the mission, known as the OriginsSpectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer, or OSIRIS-REx. OSIRIS-REx is an asteroid sample return mission that, if successful, will extract and bring back at least 60 grams of pristine, uncontaminated material to Earth for study in terrestrial laboratories, said Paul Hertz, chief scientist in the Science Mission Directorate at NASA. The final mission criteria, which are yet to be “signed and approved,” will most likely determine whether or not the OSIRIS-REx mission is a success by NASA’s standards, Hertz said. Michael Drake, director of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory and the mission’s principal investigator, will lead OSIRIS-REx and act as its “quarterback.” Drake said that achieving and surpassing all of the goals NASA entrusted to him is more a matter of pride than pressure. And although it won’t be an easy task, he said he

has an enormous amount of confidence in his team and their ability to get the job done. OSIRIS-REx is also the name of the box-shaped spacecraft that will launch in 2016. The spacecraft

Arizona Mobile, the first ever mobile phone application developed by the UA, fits the latest news, events and other UArelated information into the palm of your hand. The application, currently compatible with the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, has already claimed its place among other applications in the App Store and is available for

free download. Features include easy access to campus maps, emergency contacts, meal plans, athletic scores, course listings, UA phonebook and campus directory, among many others. Universities developing and offering mobile applications such as this is not a new concept. According to the Google Enterprise Blog, Columbus State University has been using Google Apps Education Edition since early 2009.

Nicholas Adamakis, director of marketing for Student Affairs and Arizona Student Unions, said the UA had considered creating the application as a way to more directly benefit the campus community, but did not rush the process to ensure it served the largest amount of people possible. “There is no benefit to creating an app just to have one,” Adamakis said. “It was better to wait until we could create an app MOBILE, page 2

NEWS BRIEFS Economic relief still a ways off

Tucson economic recovery remains stymied by a variety of national and local factors. About 350 members of the Tucson business community gathered at the Doubletree Hotel Tucson at Reid Park on June 2 to discuss the state of the challenges facing the local economy, namely continued slow growth in wages, stagnant housing market and continuing high unemployment. Accelerated economic growth is still believed to be a few years off, according to UA economists.

UA reins in money from monsoons

The National Science Foundation awarded UA researchers $2.95 million to study how the desert’s annual monsoon rains drive forward ecological processes in the region. Namely, the study will gear advanced computer weathermodeling and forecasting and use those to examine how desert vegetation is able to survive given the sparse and variable precipitation in the region. The grant will fund various experiments, including examining the spread of invasive grasses, such as buffelgrass, in the Southwest, and how they can negatively impact the indigenous biology of the area. Pima County and the City of Tucson have taken to spraying weed killer in areas overrun with the invasive grass in recent years. Other research will include tree-ring analysis to see historical weather patterns, and the differences in low and high altitude regions with regards to wildfires.

Partners in lifeline

The UA College of Medicine in Phoenix entered into an agreement with the Maricopa Integrated Health System, which officials hope will help end the physician attrition in Arizona. The deal makes the Maricopa Integrated Health System the primary research, teaching and training hospital for the school. The agreement is expected to be approved by the Arizona Board of Regents during its meeting on June 16. — Arizona Summer Wildcat

ICE PLANT continued from page 1 swamp cooler,” Thomas said. The UA considered plans to build the plant as far back as 1996, though funding was not approved until 2004. Both Haldeman and Thomas pointed toward growing needs for innovative energy alternatives as a motivating factor for the plant’s approval. “It was like solar heating in the ‘70s,” Haldeman said, noting the contribution of raising energy rates to interest in thermal storage. Likewise, Thomas cited the “big brownout in California and Enron” as events that helped push more funding toward sustainable energy strategies. The development of the thermal storage project was a joint effort between Sun Mechanical, APS Energy Services and the UA, Haldeman said. Financially speaking, the plant saved enough to have paid back the cost of its construction in its first 25 months, said Thomas. The thermal storage project is one of many sustainable practices used by the university to offset power costs. Nanofiltration techniques are used to eliminate a myriad of minerals from Tucson groundwater, allowing a greater volume of groundwater to be recycled for future campus cooling. The campus is also home to two natural gas-powered gas turbines. The power

MOBILE continued from page 1 that would offer practical benefit for the UA community.” Prior to the application’s launch, the UA surveyed students to gauge their interest in the product and to address their concerns. Students also participated in initial product testing and provided feedback. Though much of the information provided by Arizona Mobile can already be accessed for free via other online platforms, Adamakis said he believes that the application will be widely utilized because it compiles all of the information already available into one easily accessible mobile platform. Arizona Mobile cost roughly $50,000 to develop and users should expect frequent updates to the application as developers implement new ideas to improve the product or to address user concerns, Adamakis said. Lisa Stage, a marketing specialist for UITS Communications and Marketing, said she expected nearly 7,000 incoming freshmen to attend this year’s new student orientation sessions, where an Arizona Mobile booth advertises the application. Adamakis added that feedback from orientation has been overwhelmingly positive thus far. He said he thought more people will continue to ask about and use the application, especially when they launch Android, Blackberry and mobile web versions in the near future. After seeing the application up close, students and parents seemed to agree. “It seems pretty convenient,” said Daniel Villate, a freshman from Glendale, Ariz. “There’s a map on it, so I can locate myself just in case I do get lost.” Villate and his father, Fernando Villate, said they were both slightly disappointed

that the application was not compatible with their Android phones, but that it seemed like a great product and they looked forward to downloading it. “The sooner the better,” said Daniel Villate. Mark Langerman, from Scottsdale, Ariz., said that, even as a parent, he finds the application relevant and useful. “It helps me stay in the know,” Langerman said. “I’m hoping to get a feel for the campus for when we come down and visit … I’d download the app even if they did charge, but with what we’re paying for tuition, they ought to have it for free.” Arizona Mobile may be a sign of a larger push to make the UA more technology-driven, Stage said. “It definitely fits within the bigger picture,” she said. “(The UA is always looking for) new ways to increase the availability of bringing education to where people are. We have a YouTube and iTunes channel … we recognize people are moving away from their desktop computers with this (app) move.” Adamakis agreed that the UA needs to continue to take advantage of new technologies in order to best serve its students. “Mobile technology and app development is an emerging priority throughout the UA,” he said. “Departments across the university … are involved in efforts to expand the UA’s presence in the mobile space. We will serve our growing student population through integrated state-ofthe-art technological support and an upgraded communications infrastructure.” The application is also drawing praise from UA administrators. “I have it on my iPad. I love it,” UA President Robert Shelton said. “I think it’s very helpful and I think it’s going to continue to grow and be refined. So, I guess I would say it’s about time.“

OSIRIS-REx continued from page 1 is solar-powered and contains various antennae for communication and cameras that will assist in navigation and mapping. The sampling head, attached at the end of the robotic arm’s 6-foot body, will collect soil from the asteroid, known as regolith. “We’re gonna try and get at least 60 grams,” Drake said. “We’ve never failed to get vastly more than that. We’re capable of getting a maximum of five kilograms … enough for literally generations of Americans and others around the world to study.” The mission has two core goals, Drake said. First, to understand the origin of the organic material that led to self-replicating life. Drake said he believes that asteroid 1999 RQ36, the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission, contains the building blocks of biologic life. The 4.5 billion-year-old time capsule left over from the formation of the solar system is far and away the most hazardous object known to humanity, Drake said. The roughly spherical pitch-black-colored gob of rock and dust extends about a one-third of a mile across and rotates roughly six times faster than the Earth. With a 1-in-1800 chance to hit the planet in 2182, it may not seem like much to worry about, but Drake would beg to differ. He gave an example of the asteroid’s power by saying that if it were to land in Tucson, small chunks “big enough to hurt you” would reach the East Coast. It would not destroy the Earth, but if it happened to land in a heavily populated area, the initial amount of destruction it could cause would be astronomical, not to mention the titanic dent it would leave in the global economy. The second goal of the mission is not to destroy asteroid 1999 RQ36, but to understand its properties in order to move it if necessary. “I’m really confident that we have the

right team in place and the right resources to get this job done and do it well,” said Dante Lauretta, the mission’s deputy principal investigator. “We’ve assembled a world class science team. We have international partners in Canada, UK (United Kingdom), Germany, France, Italy and more showing interest everyday. We got the full support of NASA and President (Barack) Obama. We’ve set a new standard for NASA in terms of early mission development and we intend to carry that through.” Other major partners in the project include the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, which will be leading flight dynamics and ground system development. Lockheed Martin, the largest financial beneficiary of the contract, will build the majority of the spacecraft. Lauretta added that an important distinction to make is that Lockheed Martin will control the actual spacecraft while the UA will control the instruments on it. The UA’s role in the mission also includes building the camera systems, generating the data products, archiving data with NASA and running the education and outreach program, Lauretta said. The UA will begin receiving its share of the contract on July 15 and the mission will take off in 2016 . Images of the Earth and moon will start being sent back in 2017 and characterization and mapping of the asteroid will start three years later. The regolith example should be acquired in 2020 and OSIRIS-REx will begin to return to Earth in March 2021, The samples will be returned in 2023 and the mission will continue to be funded through 2025 for sample analysis and final science product. Lauretta said that the toughest part of the mission will be maintaining team chemistry and communication as the mission’s team continues to grow. He added that as long as they can maintain the

positive culture they’ve established, he is confident that they can overcome any technical challenge they may encounter. From a fiscal perspective, UA President Robert Shelton said the positive impact of the mission on the UA will be felt for years to come and that many departments and organizations will benefit tremendously. Significant and long-lasting awards and contracts for people to continue to study the asteroid material will translate into more jobs for the community, he said. “We’ve reaffirmed that we know how to be number one,” Shelton said. “It’s impossible to be number one in everything.

But it’s important that, as an institution, we know how to be the very best at some things and this reaffirms that in space exploration for the UA.” Shelton added that he would measure short-term success by bringing material back from the asteroid. Long-term, however, remains uncertain. “I don’t know. But that is the nature of science,” he said. “If you know the answer, you don’t have to do it. If you look at the advances that have come to humankind, it’s through people who pursued ideas not knowing if they would have relevance but knowing that it’ll advance the human condition in the long run.”

PERSPECTIVES Getting through a 520 summer I

f you have suffered/ survived one summer in Tucson already, you ought to consider yourself an activityplanning veteran, ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT because there is truly nothing to do here. If you lived long enough to tell everyone what the end of May until mid-August is like, it means you resisted the temptation to drop out. If you are nestling into triple-digit weather and holding this very newspaper, it means you must have mastered a way to keep yourself occupied. For those of you Tucson summer rookies, get out a pen and a pad to jot down some advice. Perhaps the most unique aspect of a Tucson summer is the limited amount of people you come across. Yes, odds are you know nearly none of them but nonetheless, if you wish to thrive, you had better get to introducing yourself. Whatever your interests may be, you will soon find that whoever was present the first time you did a specific activity will be present the next time. For example, if you are a movie junkie looking to pop your head into the weekend showing of the newest summer blockbuster, the next time you go, you will be certain to find the same group of frequenters standing beside you in line again. Or should you be a party animal, that same guy wearing the flat-billed baseball cap will be there at the next party at a completely different house. No, really, it’s the same guy, although we all know that choice of accessory is a frequent pick among college males. The fact of the matter is there are only so many people in town, and sadly there is only so much to do. If you want to make some quick summer buddies, introduce yourself immediately and trust me when you say “see you later,” you will really mean it. It will also pay dividends come the next boring summer night that you are left sitting alone in your pad. The truth is that the Tucson summer seemingly has a limited amount of interesting things to do. Now this has been a drawback of nearly every summer since you started school, but once you have had a taste of the regular college activities a full-fledged semester holds, summer really can’t compare. Therefore, use the summer of Tucson to find something new. If you are an out-of-state student, chances are you don’t know much to do or anyone to do anything with. Thus, the best solution is to just track something new and exciting down. Of course this is a little cliché, but oh so true. As is the case with most things in life, they are what you make of them. Take a chance on a Tucson summer and you may even end up with a story worth telling.

Stuck in no-man’s land

hen I was 10 years old, I thought summer was the best time of year. I loved going to the zoo and spending time watching the animals sleep. On a particularly hot summer day, I could run through the sprinklers like a hooligan or lay out a dilapidated Slip-N-Slide. If my brother and I were really lucky, we would get to spend a day at a magical castle called Golf ‘N’ Stuff. But I am no longer 10, and visiting ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT the zoo is not one of my top priorities. I don’t get the same thrill from the sprinklers or the rush from tripping on the Slip-N-Slide. To be honest, I think I would feel like a creeper if I went to Golf ‘N’ Stuff for a round of putt-putt. It’s hard to find things to do for college students. I love Eegees and Bookmans just as much as the next Tucsonan, but it doesn’t change the fact that the city is dull in the summer. Hiking can be fun as long as you plan on avoiding the glaring sun. Swimming in a pool is OK, but it does not really compare to a lake. If it weren’t for summer school and summer employment, I would feel like I was completely wasting a good two and a half months of my life. Spending a few days on a beach would be quite enjoyable; unfortunately, the closest beaches to Tucson are in San Diego or Mexico. Spending a day at an amusement park would be awesome; sadly, the closest legitimate parks are in California or Texas. While I’m happy that all of these places are within a day’s driving distance, it would be nice if there was something here, besides Breakers Water Park.

Fewer people, greater fun

ell, it’s summertime in Tucson again and no one is here. With school no longer in session, my fellow students are missing in action. Triple-digit temperatures will do that. You gotta love it. With no one at the UA, going to the Student Recreation Center is great. No awkward glances from testosteronedriven dudes as I lift weights, no waiting by the pool like a creep until ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT someone gives up a lane. I have the whole place to myself. Yes, the weights are open, the pool is free and I can rock climb to my heart’s content. You can’t beat it. Summer is practically perfect in Tucson. This city provides the ideal summer conditions: hot temperatures, cool swimming pools and the best skin cancer center in the world (in the event that you develop melanoma). Despite the high temperatures during the day, most people don’t realize that the weather is great in the evening. Whether playing soccer, swimming or even just looking at the stars, it is truly great in the middle of the night. Something I like about Tucson is that it is within driving distance of many popular destinations. Rocky Point, the White Mountains and California are within a day’s drive. Now, I love Mexico just as much as the next guy, but my favorite destination is California. With a six-hour drive and a few cans of Red Bull, I can enjoy some of the happiest places on earth for a simple modest fee. And so what if it’s hot? I don’t even wake up until it’s 10 a.m. and the college scene doesn’t even start until at least 7 at night. Summer school, work and air conditioning keep me cool and busy. Oh, and never underestimate the Tucson treasure of Eegees. A watermelon Eegee always hits the spot. Always.

Federal inaction leads to disastrous AZ immigration law Nyles Kendall

ucson’s sweltering 100 degree temperatures can definitely put a damper on outdoor activities. So while you’re sitting in your bedroom trying to escape the mid-afternoon heat, don’t let the hum of the air conditioning lull you to sleep. Brush up on current events instead. Take illegal immigration for instance. Although it is often an issue reserved for the federal government, states have begun to tackle the issue on their own.

“LAWA may seem reasonable on its face, but is actually far more sinister than its proponents will lead you to believe.” In a not-so-stunning 5-3 decision, split along ideological lines, the Supreme Court upheld the Legal Arizona Worker’s Act. LAWA empowers Arizona’s courts to suspend or revoke the business licenses of employers who knowingly or intentionally hire undocumented immigrants. With the state’s unemployment rate hovering at about 9 percent, this decision has been lauded as a victory for the jobless. The law tackles the issue of illegal immigration at its heart:

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT employment. Supporters of the measure argue that the threat of penalization will dissuade businesses from employing undocumented workers. Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce, who sponsored the LAWA legislation in 2007, spared no time in attempting to politically capitalize off the Supreme Court’s decision. In a statement published by the Sonoran Alliance, a conservative blog, Pearce paints himself as the knight in shining armor here to save American workers from the “profits-over-patriotism crowd.” Unsurprisingly, the law has become overwhelmingly popular in Arizona. After all, who in their right mind can object to preserving jobs for Americans amid a recession? Not even those good-for-nothing, bleeding-heart liberals could balk at such a sensible proposition, right? LAWA may seem reasonable on its face, but is actually far more sinister than its proponents will lead you to believe. Now that it has been given a stamp of approval by the highest court in the land, the floodgates have opened up to allow state copycat laws. Revoking the licenses of businesses that employ undocumented immigrants not only saddles employers with the responsibility of immigration enforcement, it will cause employment discrimination against Hispanic Americans and other minority groups. With the threat of a“business death penalty”hanging over their heads, employers will be reluctant to employ applicants who look and sound foreign.

LAWA would also require businesses to use the national E-Verify system to check the citizenship status of prospective employees. However, under federal law, E-Verify is strictly voluntary as it is prone to error. According to the Office of the Inspector General and the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the system is riddled with name-inconsistencies and out-of-date citizen status codes. With participation in E-Verify made compulsory in Arizona, the likelihood of legal immigrants being denied employment could increase tenfold. The Obama administration contends that the law undermines the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which preserves the federal government’s exclusive ability to impose civil or criminal sanctions on businesses that employ unauthorized aliens. But border states like Arizona can attest to the fact that IRCA, enacted more than 20 years ago, has done little to stymie the growth of the illegal immigrant population, which swelled to an all-time high of 12.5 million people in 2007. Given this brute fact, is it surprising that states like Arizona, Colorado, Mississippi and Pennsylvania are attempting to regulate illegal immigration by introducing similar legislation? The federal government has completely dropped the ball on this issue. For the past decade, gridlock and political jockeying in Washington, D.C., pushed the issue of immigration and border security to the far reaches of the government’s agenda. In the absence of decisive action at the federal level, disastrous state laws like LAWA will continue to gain popularity. Let’s hope Washington politicians offer more than lip service to the need for comprehensive immigration reform. — Nyles Kendall is a political science senior.

High speeds not permit-ed

A University of Arizona Police Department officer observed a red car driving at 75 mph on May 23 in a posted 35 mph zone on Euclid Avenue. The officer stopped the vehicle and made contact with the driver, who identified herself with her Arizona driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permit. The driver was required by law to have a licensed driver in the vehicle with her as she only had a permit. The driver was cited and released at the scene under the condition she not drive unless a licensed driver accompanied her.

Thief removes locks, then leaves

A UA Facilities Management storage shed was broken into between the dates of May 23 and June 2. There are currently no suspects or witnesses and nothing appeared to be missing. An employee stated he found the doors to the storage shed open and later realized the door had been broken. The two locks that secured the door were hanging in a nearby tree, intact, he said. The UAPD officer that responded determined that the door was old and that it could have easily been removed without tools.

He added that he was on the phone with his daughter while in the store and forgot he was holding the notebook. Video footage showed the man placing the notebook between a stack of papers he was carrying and later put it under his arm as he was paying for other items. The man said he had money to pay for it and he did not come into the store with the intent of shoplifting.

A UAPD officer pulled over a vehicle for excessive speed on May 27 at approximately 2 a.m. The officer noticed the car drifting into the right lane on two occasions after passing through the intersection of Campbell Avenue and Speedway Boulevard. When the officer made contact with the driver, he could smell alcohol coming from the vehicle. The driver admitted to having one beer earlier and spoke with slurred speech. The driver agreed to field sobriety tests and a portable breath test. He was arrested for driving under the influence and for driving with a suspended license. The vehicle was towed and the driver was released to Discount Cab. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

By Kellie Mejdrich ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Summer is here, and so is delicious produce. This recipe for squash and corn caramelos integrates summer squash, zucchini and corn into a cheesy, gooey treat that’s perfect for lunch.

Cheesy squash caramelos

A caramelo is just a quesadilla with two tortillas — it takes a little more balancing to flip, but can hold more cheese and filling (always a plus). Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Dice the zucchini and yellow

squash into small cubes. Peel the corn and, using a sharp knife, cut away the kernels from the cob. Chop the jalepeño finely. Grate the cheese. Set aside. In a pan, heat about 1/2 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add jalepeño and cook for about a minute, just to release the jalepeño flavor into the oil. Then add the corn and squash. Stir. Add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper for a little added spice. Cook 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are tender. When vegetable mix is cooked, scoop into a bowl. Now coat the pan with a thin layer of butter and heat over medium-high heat. Add one tortilla, a scoop of vegetable filling and a generous amount of cheese. Cover with another tortilla. Cook for 1-2 minutes until tortilla is browned and cheese is melted. Flip. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Plate and serve with salsa. Ingredients: 1 yellow squash 1 zucchini squash 1 ear sweet corn 1/2 jalepeño pepper cheddar cheese, shredded cayenne pepper olive oil butter 6-8 flour tortillas, small (fajita) size

Chili-spiced mango

To top off your caramelo, enjoy some chili-spiced mango. Mangoes are fresh and in season right now, so slice one up. Cut the mango into two halves, avoiding the center seed. Cut the halves and any remaining fruit off the seed and cut into cubes. Sprinkle chili powder on the mango and enjoy. It’s simple, but delicious. Adrienne Lobl/Arizona Daily Wildcat

How to beat the heat in style By Rudo Sibande ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Summertime has arrived, and so has the heat. Soon, temperatures won’t just reach the triple digits — they’ll stay there. Thankfully, designers tweaked their minimalistic trends for 2011, and we’ve got a plethora of options to combat looking gross and sweaty as the season drags on.

Bare Wires at Club Congress Don’t think that just because it’s summer that good bands will abandon Tucson. Bare Wires is playing a free show at Club Congress, and their genre-less sound, called a fusion between “glam glitter pop and garage punk grime,” is fun for the summertime. The show starts at 9 p.m. — Compiled by Maitri Mehta

GIRLS

Now more than ever, fabric is king. Trust cotton, linen and silk to be your three best friends during hot summer months. But this season, your favorite lightweight tees and semi-sheer tanks don’t have to be proper, and your prints don’t have to be polite. Simply elegant: Monochromatic color palettes are here in a big way, so when you’re not too sure what to wear for a late brunch or a day on the lake, just grab two of the same color and get outside already. Voila! Fashion made easy. The bold and the fearless: For those with more adventurous tastes, players like Stella McCartney, Prada, and others have gone completely wild. It’s now totally acceptable to pick the largest and loudest prints and patterns you can find and wear them all at once. Except for mixed and matched plaids, which is never, ever OK. The cheap trick: No money? No problem. Pick up a neon bracelet or a bright orange nail polish. Throwing on a boldly colored accessory or wearing a bold nail is a simple nod to the

season’s color-blocked regime, and it won’t require too much money or extra thought.

GUYS

We didn’t forget about you, guys. The summer heat may be on, but designers know all about a dude’s desire to stay extra cool. Duly noted: The khaki suit is back. Scratch that, make that the khaki anything. Toss the deep blacks and forest browns of the fall into the closet, and go for a lighter look and feel. Get ballsy: When it comes to this season’s color scheme, go big or go home. Get ballsy this year with bright colors and slim fits. The women may be peacocking like nobody’s business this summer, but you don’t have to be outdone. Keep it fresh: Linen will keep the sweat to a minimum and chinos are here to stay. Pull out those soft stretch tees, and show up to that late-night house party looking like the freshest breeze anyone’s felt all day.

Hardcore musicians host benefit concert By Kelly Kleber ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT When you think of the hardcore music scene, a thoughtful and tight-knit community of artists might not be the first image that comes to mind. But on Sunday, Tucson’s hardcore musicians will show their softer side in support of one of their own. Local bands Days of Struggle, Dead Hours, Injury and Step Aside will play a benefit show for Sam Abate, 23, the drummer of the band Condemned. Abate, who is well known for his passion and involvement in Tucson’s hardcore music community, was seriously injured in a hit-and-run accident on May 20. He was riding his bike on North Swan Road when he was struck by a car. The driver pulled over momentarily, but then sped off. The driver, Abigail A. Allin, was later arrested on several charges, including suspicion of leaving the scene, causing serious injury with a vehicle, driving under a suspended license and tampering with physical evidence. She was uninsured. Michael Gonzales, a close friend of Abate, described the way that the accident has brought local musicians together. He explained Abate’s impact on Tucson music, and why so many artists want to raise money for his recovery. “(Abate) is completely devoted to performing the music that

he loves, and bringing bands to the area so that we might have the opportunity to fall in love with a band we’ve never heard,” Gonzales said.“He has, for years, been devoted to the do-it-yourself philosophy of music through handing out flyers by hand, calling venues directly and sticking with the bands without representation.” There have already been other benefit shows in Abate’s honor, including one in California and two in Phoenix. Abate’s friends also put together a 27-song collection of local music called “The Good Sam Compilation” to raise additional funds. This weekend’s benefit show will be held at Jacob’s YMCA on Sunday at 7 p.m. Tickets are a $10 donation. There will also be a raffle with prizes provided by many local businesses. “There will be things in (the raffle) ranging from band merch, to an exclusive print by local tattoo artist Marc Nava (from the Staring Without Caring Tattoo Shop) and even two guitars donated by Fender,” said Ryan Bram, Abate’s friend. The Abate family will use donation money in order to help pay for medical expenses, said Graham Abate, Sam Abate’s brother. For more information, visit www.projectnoiseaz.com or www.helpingsam.net.

Down south, but not out — LOOKING FOR A NEW ROOMMATE? Tucson’s perks By Maitri Mehta ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Quirky shopping and entertainment

Although out-of-state transplants have already left Tucson, many UA students stick around for summer school or just general debauchery. Tucson summer is definitely a thing of its own, and having just returned to T-town from a semester abroad, I find that I missed a lot of what our little Southwestern gem has to offer:

Tucson is full of antique shops like 22nd Street Antique Mall, and you can find beautiful hand-made jewelry at dirt-cheap prices, like Mac’s Indian Jewelry on Grant Road. Plus, don’t forget that you can find any obscure film you’ll ever want to rent at Casa Video.

Delicious food

It’s easy to take our variety here for granted. But let’s be honest — everyone knows eating Mexican food in Tucson is practically a religion. El Guero Canelo is fantastic for quick and cheap burritos, but if you want something a little more suave, try El Charro Café downtown — they invented the chimichanga (or so they say) and have more than 100 types of tequila.

Coffee

For procrastinating collegiates, caffeine is currency. Tucson doesn’t skimp on coffee shops; in fact, there might just be a dozen on Fourth Avenue alone. Epic Café is a local favorite, or Café Passé, which has great brews plus an outdoor patio for when it cools down in the evenings.

Yoga

A beautiful desert

College towns are a goldmine for deals at yoga studios, and Tucson is no exception. Most studios offer two-week trials, student discounts, or both. Yoga Oasis is well known for Yogahour sessions, which are only $4 per class. Check out www.yogaoasis.com, for details.

Tucson is surrounded by striking mountain ranges and miles of untouched saguaro forest. Hiking in Tucson is choice, with great trails like Romero Canyon and Seven Falls , which range in difficulty.

Track ready for the elements Forecasted rain won’t dampen Wildcats’ spirits By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona’s No. 9 women’s and No. 12 men’s track and field teams begin competition today in the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Championships, held in Des Moines, Iowa. While the teams can control aspects of the meet like being mentally and physically prepared, they can’t control Mother Nature, who is forecasted to grace Des Moines with rainstorms throughout the four-day competition. Considering the teams are accustomed to Tucson’s desert climate, the diverse weather could put a damper on their results. Head coach Fred Harvey said the differing weather conditions do not give them the lower hand. “It’s not going to affect us any differently than any of the other athletes there,” Harvey said. “Keep in mind, we just came back from Eugene, Oregon, where it rained every day of the first round. It’s not going to be any different from what we just encountered, with the exception of it being a much more pleasant type of rain, because the temperatures are warmer. We’re not going to be cold, just wet.” Rain certainly didn’t slow down either team in Eugene, where Arizona garnered 19 qualifications for this week’s finals. The qualifications were attained by 16 athletes, and consist of 18 events and one relay — one of the largest championship rosters Harvey has had since he started in 2002.

BASEBALL continued from page 12 that was just out of Heyer ’s reach, scoring the first run of the game and ending Heyer ’s day. “I was getting a little tired, but I still wanted to make good pitches,” Heyer said. “I wanted to get my team to the last inning, but (Bratsen) had a good at-bat and was put a good swing on a curveball. They just executed better than us.” Arizona (39-21) left-hander Bryce Bandilla then took over on the mound, and after Bratsen stole second, intentionally walked infielder Matt Juengel to set up a matchup with left-handed hitter Jacob House. But the tactical move proved unsuccessful as House smacked a high changeup off the right field wall for a double, scoring both runners and extending the Aggie lead to three. “Our reports were that (House) was bad against left-handers, so we went with

Will FergusonArizona Daily Wildcat

Sophomore jumper Brigetta Barrett said she doesn’t worry about expectations from the outside world. In 2010, she cleared the 6 foot, 3 and 1/4 inch high jump, good for fifth on the UA’s all-time list.

Among the 16 athletes is sophomore Jennifer Bergman, a first-time qualifier. Bergman qualified for both the 5,000 and 10,000-meter races. “I’ve never finished a track season this well, it’s always a challenge for me. So this

is the first year things are going right,” Bergman said. To put her race lengths into perspective, 10,000 meters is 25 laps around a quartermile track. “Every time I think about having 25 laps to

Bandilla,” Lopez said. “If I knew it was going to work out that way, I’d have put (Kyle) Simon in there. I’ll ask myself that question all the way home.” Arizona was unable to mount anything offensively against Aggie starter Michael Wacha , who threw seven innings, scattering five hits and striking out four. “I knew if I just went out there and threw strikes, the defense could play behind me,” Wacha said. “It ended up working out.” The Wildcats threatened only once with Wacha on the mound, putting runners on first and third with one out in the fifth. Senior outfielder Bobby Rinard then lifted a bloop single to center field, but catcher Jett Bandy — the runner on third — had to hesitate to make sure the ball wasn’t caught, and was called out at the plate after he appeared to slide in safely under Aggie catcher Kevin Gonzalez’s tag. “I saw the flare and went halfway, and as soon as I saw it drop I started running

home,” Bandy said. “I never felt a tag, to be honest with you.” Seth Mejias-Brean then grounded out with runners on first and second, sending Arizona back to the dugout scoreless. The Wildcats were able to mount a minirally in the top half of the eighth after Mejias-Brean and Joey Rickard picked up back-to-back singles with two outs. But Arizona second baseman Bryce Ortega grounded into a fielder ’s choice, ending the scoring threat. Arizona went down in order in the top of the ninth, ending its chances of advancing to a Super Regional for the third time in school history. Arizona’s run to the championship game was an improbable one. The Wildcats lost the opening game of the College Station Regional to Seton Hall, 4-0 , before winning three straight games, including a 7-4 victory over A&M on Sunday to advance to the championship game.

SOFTBALL continued from page 12 Ricketts’ mistakes. “This game, we knew we were close every inning, and every inning we thought we were going to get through,” said senior center fielder Lauren Schutzler. “In the Super Regionals, it’s very hard to score runs when you’re down five. It’s a really tough place for a team to come back from.” Sophomore pitcher Kenzie Fowler was unable to avoid big innings in both games, giving up four runs in the fourth inning of game one and three runs in the fourth inning of game two. In both of those innings, fielding errors, which allowed the innings to continue, compounded Fowler’s struggles. Ricketts was one out away from pitching two consecutive complete game shutouts before giving up a two-run home run to Wildcat first baseman Lini Koria in the bottom of the seventh. The late-game rally ended there for the Wildcats, as right fielder Karissa Buchanan grounded out to end Arizona’s season. After the game, Candrea had some harsh words for his team. “The weekend found our holes,” he said. “We definitely had some weaknesses in our lineup. And I think to be a College World Series team you have to have production one through nine. We may have 20 players, but we don’t have a lot of depth. We’ve

Arizona’s offense was almost nonexistent in the Super Regional against Oklahoma. Second baseman Lini Koria (right) drove in both of Arizona’s runs in the Wildcats’ final inning of 2011.

got way too much dead weight on the team and that’s going to change.” In the past 25 years, the UA softball team has been a model of consistency under Candrea. The Wildcats have won nine national championships since 1991, and

have made 22 appearances in the Women’s College World Series. This is Arizona’s first missed Women’s College World Series since 2004, when Candrea was away coaching the Team USA Olympic squad.

run, I think ‘oh goodness, that’s a lot of laps,’ but it’s very different from any of the other races,” Bergman said. “It feels like more of a workout for the first half, rather than starting a race. There’s never a point where I don’t know if I can keep running, but the last mile definitely hurts.” Another qualifier is one of the nation’s leading high jumpers, sophomore Brigetta Barrett. But even though she has had success this year, Barrett said rankings can be irrelevant. “I feel really calm right now, because I usually don’t get too excited until the day before I jump,” Barrett said. “Right now I’m just trying to stay focused and humble, and know that rankings don’t mean anything, all that matters is what happens the day of the meet, so I’m just trying to stay on my game.” With her continued success this season, people have high expectations of Barrett. Still, she only places importance on the expectations she makes for herself. “I’ve just been focusing on what I expect from myself,” Barrett said. “I want to prove to myself that I’ve been working all year for something.” And as for the weather, Barrett said she remains confident. “I looked at the forecast and it said it might rain on the day that I jump. One thing I know is that I can’t control the weather, the only thing I can control is myself and the attitude I bring into it. So rain, sunshine or wind, I just have to be ready to compete.”

Softball comes up short

Roundup of UA sports wrapping up their seasons By Alex Williams ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT The academic year may have wrapped up in early May, but NCAA championships are in full swing through June. Here’s a look at how Arizona’s sports teams have fared since the end of the semester.

Men’s golf

After finishing eighth at the Pacific 10 Conference championships in Palo Alto, Calif., the Wildcats hosted an NCAA Regional at Omni Tucson National Golf Resort . Needing to finish in the top five spots out of 14 teams, Arizona was two strokes behind fifth-place Washington through 14 holes. But Wildcat senior Tarquin MacManus birdied holes 15, 16 and 17 and sophomore Juan Pablo Hernandez birdied 18, leading Arizona to a fourthplace finish. Up next for Arizona was a trip to Stillwater, Okla., and the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championships. The top eight teams after three days of stroke-play advance to the match-play portion of the championship, which determines the national champion. But Arizona struggled in stroke-play, shooting 69-overpar and finishing 29th out of 30 teams. MacManus was Arizona’s highest individual finisher, shooting an 11-over-par 227 to land him in 74th place.

Women’s tennis

Arizona freshmen Susan McRann and Kim Stubbe squared off against one another in the Pac-10 Championship semifinals, with McRann advancing to the final against California’s Alice Duranteau , where she fell 2-0. In NCAA Championship play, Arizona fell in the first round to South Carolina, 4-2. The Wildcats were 1-4 in singles matches and took two of three doubles matches from the Gamecocks .

Men and women’s track & field

In the Pac-10 Conference meet, which was held in Tucson, both the men and women’s teams finished second behind only Oregon — the first time both squads have finished second in the same year, and matched all-time high finishes for both teams. Senior runner Christina Rodgers was a part of two school record-setting events: the 4x400 relay — which UA finished in 3:31.67, almost two seconds behind Oregon — and the 800-meter run. Though Rodgers’ 2:03.52 finish in the 800-meter broke a 17-year-old school mark, she was runner-up to Washington State’s Anna Layman . Arizona then advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships preliminary round, where 16 Wildcats qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships, which begin today in Des Moines, Iowa.

Men’s tennis

At the Pac-10 Championships held in Ojai, Calif., each of Arizona’s four individual competitors failed to advance past the first round of play — each falling in straight sets. In doubles competition, the Wildcats didn’t fare much better, losing both of their matches — one to Washington and the other to Stanford, the conference’s No. 1 ranked team. Arizona failed to advance to NCAA Championship play.

Cats miss first WCWS since 2004 By Seth Stephens ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT For the first time since 1988, a Mike Candrea-coached Wildcats team is missing out on a trip to Oklahoma City and the Women’s College World Series. In a two-game Super Regional series held May 27 and 28, Arizona was shocked by No. 13 Oklahoma, which routed the

Wildcats in two games by a combined score of 11-2. “We got beat by a better team,” Candrea said after the series. “(Oklahoma) came in here and played well. They played with calm confidence and they executed the game when they needed to.” Not receiving timely hits and allowing the Sooners to put together big innings doomed

Arizona during the Super Regional. Over the two games, the Wildcats went 0-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 22 runners stranded. The Wildcats only had one less hit (15) than the Sooners (16), but could not take advantage of Oklahoma pitcher Keilani SOFTBALL, page 11

Baseball season ends after loss to Texas A&M By Alex Williams ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Women’s golf

Arizona women’s golf finished second in the Pac-10 Championships , held at ASU’s Karsten Golf Course — finishing five strokes behind conference champion Southern California. The Wildcats then traveled to Seattle to take part in the NCAA West Regional Championships , where they finished fifth out of 24 teams. The top eight finishers advanced to the NCAA Championships in College Station , Texas. In College Station, the Wildcats placed 15th out of 24 teams after shooting a combined 53-over-par 1,205 – 32 strokes behind eventual national champion UCLA. Senior Alejandra Llaneza was Arizona’s top finisher, finishing in a tie for 37th after shooting a 13-over-par 299.

After finishing fourth in the Pac-10 during regular-season play, Arizona cruised through the Tucson NCAA Regional, outscoring its opponents 28-2 – setting up a Super Regional showdown with Oklahoma and standout pitcher Keilani Ricketts. But the Wildcats weren’t able to mount an offensive threat against the Sooners, being swept in two games and being outscored 11-2 — both runs coming in the final inning of the series. The Super Regional loss snapped a streak of 21-straight Mike Candrea -led teams that had advanced to the Women’s College World Series.

For seven and two-thirds innings on Tuesday afternoon, Arizona right-hander Kurt Heyer pitched the game of his life. But his performance wasn’t enough, as the Arizona baseball team fell in the championship game of the NCAA Regional in College Station, Texas, to Texas A&M, 3-0. “(I’m) real proud of Heyer, and real proud of this group,” Arizona coach Andy Lopez said. “We have a lot of guys coming back … hopefully it’ll be a step in the growth process.” In the winner-take-all NCAA Regional championship game, Heyer, who threw 98 pitches in Friday’s loss to Seton Hall, dominated for seven innings — allowing just three hits in the first 23 outs of the game — before Texas A&M (45-19) mounted a two-out rally in the eighth. Heyer recorded the first two outs of the inning almost effortlessly, striking out the leadoff batter and forcing the second hitter of the inning to pop-out in foul territory. But then Texas A&M sophomore outfielder Tyler Naquin laced a double and freshman outfielder Krey Bratsen hit a bouncing ball up the middle BASEBALL, page 11

Sophomore pitcher Kurt Heyer was Arizona’s go-to-guy on the mound in 2011. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, his effort on Tuesday wasn’t enough to reach their third Super Regional in school history.
