Shelton’s parting words Outgoing UA president reflects on his five-year tenure By Luke Money ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT For five years, President Robert Shelton led the UA during some of the most difficult economic times in its 125-year history. Two weeks ahead of his departure to become executive director of the Fiesta Bowl, he doesn’t deny the strain of the past few years. “The constant demands on my time just started taking their toll,” Shelton said. “The Fiesta Bowl came up on short notice and I just felt it was time for a change.” That change comes in the aftermath of some of the steepest budget cuts in school history, the latest in a slide that has seen the UA’s state funding drastically decrease since 2008. But Shelton said he does not believe his departure will set the university back. “I think for the next few years you’re going to see a lot of stability from a budget perspective,” he said. Shelton also praised institutional fundraising efforts, which have set records for donations even during the recession. As for the lasting impres-
sion he made on the UA, Shelton said he thought the university’s commitment to financial aid stands out, including programs like Arizona Assurance , which provides aid to low-income, in-state students. He also said steps taken to cultivate the UA’s research profile nationwide have kept the university’s name “in the spotlight.” “All of these advances and successes are a collaborative effort,” Shelton said. “They’re certainly not just mine.” Shelton characterized his biggest failure as an inability to communicate effectively with the state Legislature, particularly on matters of funding for the university. “I feel that I still haven’t gotten the message about how important we are to this state, having a research institution is important,” Shelton said. “And, as much as I’ve tried, I haven’t been able to communicate that to all parties.” Shelton said the next UA president needs to be SHELTON, page 3 Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Powerful storm uproots risk Recent Arizona dust clouds could lead to increase in valley fever infections By Amer Taleb ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT The colossal storm that recently swept across Maricopa County has passed, and though the dust has settled, the problems might just be starting. One such problem could be an increase in valley fever, a fungal infection that is caused when spores are released from the ground and inhaled, as they were during the dust storm. Symptoms typically include chest pain (similar to pneumonia), cough, fatigue and, naturally, fever. Valley fever cannot be prevented while living in areas where the fungus is endemic, or local, said John Galgiani, director of the Valley Fever Center for Excellence. “Don’t live in Arizona. Don’t breathe,” he said. “Those are two good ways (of prevention).” Galgiani said the illness would start showing in citizens who breathed it in very soon. It typically takes a person one to three weeks to develop symptoms after exposure. “It’s only now that some people will be feeling ill,” he said. “They’ll be seeing doctors this week and next week.” Only about a third of infected people

actually develop a case that requires medical attention. It may take weeks or months, but most people do eventually get past it, Galgiani said. He estimated there would be an increase of 3,600 infections, to around 5,000 in total, for Maricopa County in July and August due to the storm.
He formulated the number by examining another large dust storm that hit Kern County, Calif., and the increase in valley fever cases they saw because of it. Both Maricopa and Kern counties are filled with FEVER, page 2
Regents move toward funding change New model would be based on progress, not population By Eliza Molk ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT The state Legislature is requiring the Arizona Board of Regents to submit a new funding formula this year for the three universities that would link state funding with gains in certain performance areas. The formula is part of a national trend of performance-based funding. The performance metrics include things such as enrollment, graduation rates and research spending. On Thursday, the regents approved 33 metrics for growth and productivity as well as annual targets for each metric through 2020. Sarah Harper, the regents’ director of public affairs, said that, as it currently stands, the funding model would provide universities with a stable base of funding along with “new money” if the universities meet the performance metrics. She explained the model’s potential benefits are twofold because, with a stable funding base, the regents could keep rates from escalating to “unsustainable points.” In addition, she said, the model incentivizes the universities to operate more efficiently and become more productive. Performance-based funding is a growing trend stemming from the recent recession. Already, seven states use performance-based goals in their funding formulas for higher education, and five other states, along with Arizona, are considering adopting the model. In order for Arizona to move in this direction, however, the state’s universities and regents must focus on increasing the freshman retention rate. Daniel Fitzgibbon, a director of the Arizona Students’ Association, said this begins with the issues developing in Arizona’s K-12 system, as well as the UA offering courses like remedial math. “It’s an issue when freshmen are coming (to the UA) if they come unprepared or underprepared,” he said. The percentage of freshmen that return as sophomores has decreased from 79.9 percent in 2007 to 77.2 percent in 2010, but must reach 90 percent by 2020, according to the plan. Harper added that the universities continually explore and develop opportunities to enhance freshman retention rates, including mentoring, tutoring, advising, increasing the number of online courses and making more financial aid available. Associated Students of the University of Arizona President James Allen said this new model could benefit the UA because it moves away from per-student funding, a system that has been significantly cut the past few years despite increased enrollment. The only drawback, he said, is that certain metrics may not always illustrate the quality of an institution and that certain qualities may be overlooked or misunderstood, resulting in uncertain and unstable funding. “Generally, I think the model shows promise, and for our university specifically, it could be quite effective,” Allen said. The regents will review the recommendations for the new model at their board meeting in August. In September, the board is expected to approve a final recommendation to the state as part of its fiscal year 2013 budget request.

Lunar and Planetary Lab loses a star By Amer Taleb ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT With the death of Tom Gehrels on July 11, the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Lab lost a pioneer in planetary astronomy. Raised on a farm in the Netherlands, his aspirations were focused on a career path above and beyond the fields, said his son, Neil Gehrels. During World War II, Tom Gehrels joined the Dutch Resistance against the Nazis. He eventually escaped from the country and fought again alongside the British. As a paratrooper, he dropped behind enemy lines several times. Neil Gehrels said it was during the war years that his father became interested in science and astronomy. Initially, Gehrels’ astronomy career landed him at universities across the country. It was at his final stop at the UA where he would have his biggest impact and revolutionize the way people understand and view outer space. He arrived at the UA in 1961 as an associate professor. During nearly half a century of work with the Lunar and Planetary Lab, he made many notable contributions to the field of planetary sciences, including discovering the polarization of asteroids and using the technique to determine their properties. As the founder and lead scientist of the Spacewatch Project on Tucson’s Kitt Peak, he was one of the first to study the hazards of near-Earth asteroids. He developed the UA’s Space Science Series of conferences and books and wrote more than 10 other books on his own. Every year, Tom Gehrels taught a class on astronomy and humanity. Through teaching, he became interested in cosmology and spent his later years writing papers on his multiverse theory. He was involved in humanitarian efforts throughout his life and was a strong supporter of dissident scientists in the Soviet Union, Neil Gehrels said. Robert S. McMillan, an associate research scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory
FEVER continued from page 1 the fungus that causes valley fever. Galgiani said his number was susceptible to a significant margin of error. “It (the estimate) gives you a projection as to what to expect. It allows you to at least anticipate what you might see,” he said. Galgiani said he didn’t think the storm would affect Tucson, but that the disease has and will always be around the UA and students should be aware of its presence. He said that according to Campus Health Service, the UA sees roughly 50 cases a year and that student athletes are especially at risk. He also said someone who lives in Tucson has around a 1 percent chance of being infected. Animals catch the infection the same way as humans but the symptoms and the degree of severity varies between creatures, said Lisa Shubitz, a veterinarian and associate research professor of veterinary science and microbiology. “It depends on the animal. In general, it’s

and Steward Observatory, and the principal investigator of the Spacewatch Project, worked with Tom Gehrels for 27 years. He said he admired his friend’s fearlessness, optimism, and disdain for bureaucracy and excessive rules. McMillan said he would miss his friend’s candor when discussing anything from events across his life to his scientific work. McMillan added that combating the Nazis and calling the world’s attention to the dangers of asteroids were some of Tom Gehrels’ greatest contributions to mankind. Neil Gehrels said his father was also an exceptional parent who greatly influenced the lives and development of his children. “I consulted with him often on science and life and will dearly miss him,” Neil Gehrels said. primarily a respiratory infection first, as it is in humans,” she said. “They will develop coughing, fever and lack of appetite.” Generally, no records for valley fever-infected animals are kept and it’s impossible to gauge how much of an effect the storm will have on them, Shubitz said. For dogs, reducing their amount of time outdoors, walking them on sidewalks and avoiding dust as much as possible will reduce their risk of contracting valley fever, Shubitz said. Valley fever is a non-communicable disease and cannot be spread from one person to another or from an animal to a human. The only way to get infected is to come in direct contact with the disease-causing spores, Galgiani said. He said if a person suspects they’ve been infected, they should speak with their doctor about it. In most cases, patients are just treated with anti-fungal drugs. If his projection is accurate, Galgiani said there could be an increase between $20 million and $30 million in hospitalization costs. “That’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he said. “There’s a lot of outpatient medical care, days away from work and other economic impacts.”

continued from page 1 someone who is willing to embrace the UA’s practice of shared governance and accept input from all invested parties. “Somebody coming in has to have that mindset that says we are better because we work together, not try and be a topdown, dictatorial kind of leader,” Shelton said. But Shelton admitted that anyone taking the position will have to bear the burden of expectation. “I think for this situation everybody wants someone who can walk on water, probably while playing the violin,” he said. On the man replacing him on Aug. 1, former Dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Gene Sander, Shelton expressed nothing but confidence, calling him an “inspired choice” to lead the UA. “He (Sander) is a marvelous, stabilizing choice for this period,” Shelton said. Shelton said he understands if students resent him for leaving the UA, but was quick to point out the Fiesta Bowl’s recent struggles: a corruption controversy that forced the resignation of several of the bowl’s highest-ranking officials. He said he considered the scandal when debating whether to accept the position, but was satisfied by the clean-up efforts put forth by the bowl in recent months. He also said he views the situation as an opportunity. During his time at the UA, Shelton was a member of the presidential oversight committee for the Bowl Championship Series, the system responsible for determining college football’s national championship. The committee is charged with managing the BCS, including

matters of policy. Shelton said he thinks his academic background will help him bring a new perspective to the realm of collegiate athletics. He also said his prior experience in managing large operations, some bigger in scale than the Fiesta Bowl, should also serve him well. “I’ve never been afraid to delve into numbers. As a physicist, numbers don’t scare me,” Shelton said, laughing. Shelton also said he believes his experience with student athletes, including his daughter and wife, gives him the tools to succeed in his new position. “The challenge moving forward is emphasizing the academic part of student athletes, making sure we support those young men and women … but also give them the support they need in the classroom,” he said. “I’ve seen the amount of time that goes into this, and I really respect these young people.” Despite his excitement about his new position, Shelton said there are things about the UA he is going to miss, especially one thing: the students. “I think the students here are the best,” Shelton said. “They’re passionate about the institution, they’re passionate about society, they’re always open, engaged and interested. Whenever I have a bad day, and I have very few of those cranky days, I find that talking with a group of students can remind me that everything is right in the world.” Shelton will officially depart the presidency on Aug. 1 and Sander will replace him. The Arizona Board of Regents is currently conducting a search to find Shelton’s long-term replacement.

Immigration problem needs more than a wall
B
y 1901, Australia’s agricultural pest population had grown exponentially. The acres upon acres of pasture that were destroyed as a result had brought the country’s farming community to its knees. In response, the Australian government commissioned the construction of the State Vermin Fence, now called the State Barrier Fence of Western Australia. The 2,021 mile-long barrier prevented rabbits, dingoes, emus and other critters from entering Australia’s western pastoral areas. Today, a similar fence is being built along the U.S.Mexican border, but not for the purpose of protecting farmland from crop-destroying pests. Rather, this fence will serve to prevent the passage of people. Arizona officials ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT have begun soliciting online donations for the construction of more immigrantproof fencing along the state’s shared border with Mexico. Republican state Sen. Steve Smith, the sponsor of the fence legislation, and Senate President Russell Pearce will celebrate in Casa Grande after the donation website goes live. Those who donate will be awarded a certificate declaring that they “helped build the Arizona wall.” This latest immigration scheme offers a rudimentary solution to an infinitely complex problem. It perfectly demonstrates the utter incompetence of our politicians in Phoenix. Contrary to what Smith would have you believe, illegal immigrants are not animals that can be corralled and fenced off. He and others who insist on more border fence are overlooking, or simply ignoring, the fact that illegal immigration is a uniquely human problem, one that cannot be solved with steel and barbed wire. While it is true that the existing 646 miles of fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border have helped deter illegal crossings, the legislators who have commissioned the construction of these fences have failed to address the reasons why people risk their lives to cross the border illegally in the first place. Until the underlying causes of illegal immigration are identified, a heavily fortified fence isn’t going accomplish much of anything. Walls aren’t impenetrable. Of course, immigration hardliners who believe we need to “complete the dang fence” will argue that federal inaction is the reason why the state has taken such drastic measures to secure the border. They will also assert that those who are opposed to border fences are advocating an open border policy, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. Inaction on Capitol Hill, though unfortunate, shouldn’t be used as an excuse for ill-conceived immigration policy at the state level. Moreover, those who voice their opposition to border fences aren’t advocating an open border policy, but believe that our government should be channeling its efforts into crafting thoughtful and comprehensive immigration legislation, rather than soliciting online donations for a giant wall to keep the “vermin” out. Illegal immigration is a complicated problem that Arizona will have to grapple with for years to come. A simple border fence won’t be the solution. Perhaps state politicians should be examining a bevy of prevention tactics, instead of putting up a wall every time they have a problem.

Forecast Scattered rainstorms of rage
C
ecilia Maldonado of Chicanos Unidos Arizona, a Chicano civil rights group, thinks that the test scores and grades of Latino students are irrelevant when it comes to college admission. Partnering with Miguel Longoria, president of Nuestros Reconquistos, the two hope to propose an affirmative action policy to the UA in the coming weeks. Under the proposed plan, the UA must accept a minimum of one out of every four Latino applicants. Not only is it jaw-dropping to say that test scores and grades are irrelevant to college admission, it seems illegal to require a minimum number of applicants be accepted. I’m no attorney, but I distinctly recall a Supreme Court case titled Regents of the University of California v. Bakke that outlawed quotas. Call me crazy, but setting a specific number, or percentage, of persons who must be admitted sounds dangerously like a quota. Not only is this proposition skating along the lines of legality, it’s just plain wrong. This is not to cry foul on the notion of affirmative action, which is a necessary reaction to
the circle of poverty that viciously follows many minorities. Rather, this is to say that the problem here is trying to draw a distinct line on where diversity and equality exist. Unfortunately, diversity and equality are difficult to find. Perhaps that is what makes them so spectacular when they’re truly achieved. Trying to define them numerically becomes difficult, subjective, discriminatory and results in a watered-down reality. It’s all smoke and mirrors. The truth is that diversity and equality are so rare that when you see them, you just know it. Affirmative action is beneficial for evening the playing field, so to speak, but quotas are not. Grades most certainly matter, and are a scale by which all should be considered. Are they the only important factor? Of course not. However, ignoring them and trying to turn the UA into “Feel Good U” is inexcusable. Expect scattered rainstorms of rage. — Storm Byrd is the Summer Wildcat perspectives editor.

Misogyny for a tech generation
“I
want to eat your sandwich.” Replace “sandwich” with a cruder word, and you’d be the man who followed me through a Walmart parking lot last week. I wasn’t dressed provocatively. The area wasn’t dimly lit. People were nearby. But I was alone, carrying groceries and fumbling for my keys, when a stranger trailed me to my car and whispered what he wanted to do to me. I ignored him. It’s not like this was my first encounter with a dirty old man. They stare, and sometimes say creepy things. But they’ve always kept their hands to themselves. This makes me lucky. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, in a year, about 213,000 people will be victimized; 80 percent are less than than 30 years old. In an effort to combat the numbers, Vice President Joe Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius launched the “Apps Against Abuse” challenge on July 13. According to a press release, developers compete by creating a smartphone app that would allow users to designate and check in with emergency contacts in real time, particularly in “at-risk situations.” The winning app would also make resources for coping with dating violence and sexual assault readily accessible.
Kristina Bui ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT
The app’s likely users would be female college students. In a survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 10.6 percent of women reported forced sex at some time, and 20 to 25 percent of women reported an attempted or completed rape in college. For an age group that’s always chasing the newest toys, a smartphone app is a logical choice. “Apps Against Abuse” is a commendable effort by the Obama administration to reduce the incidence of sexual assault on college campuses. But it’s only a start. While a smartphone app is likely to be successful with a younger, tech-oriented generation, and we should take every opportunity to thwart sexual assault, “Apps Against Abuse” perpetuates an oldfashioned perspective on violence against women. The burden of prevention lies with the victim. It is always up to the victim to recognize
“high risk” situations and do something about it. This works in Walmart parking lots, but what about in situations when the attacker is someone familiar? The CDC’s survey found that in the first rape experience of female victims, 30.4 percent of perpetrators were partners, and 23.7 percent were family. Another 20 percent were acquaintances. These were people the victim knew. An “app against abuse” for checking in during at-risk situations addresses who is raped, but not who rapes. At its most intimate, it’s one person lording his power over someone perceived as weaker. Rape can be used as a weapon of war, and is recognized by the Geneva Convention as a crime against humanity. From international conflict zones to our own bedrooms, sexual assault is a struggle for power. But we continue to insist rape is a victim’s responsibility. And while an “app against abuse” can enable women to take preventative measures, it still has its shortcomings. The root of the matter is not that women on college campuses need to check in with an emergency tag-team, but that we have to change the misogyny that drives sex crimes in the first place. Is there an app for that? — Kristina Bui is the Summer Wildcat copy chief. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

POLICE BEAT By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT
Text-book case of mistaken identity
A University of Arizona Police Department officer spoke to a woman on July 15 about threatening text messages she had received on her cellphone in the past two months. The woman first received the texts, which she later erased, in May. The messages were from an unknown person who said her name was Cherise, then later used a man’s name. Cherise said she was going to rape the woman and that she knew where she lived, yet would not provide the address when the woman asked for it. The woman received texts a week later from the same person, who wrote the texter was female and a rapist. On July 15, the woman received a text from Cherise that said she was “back.” The woman called the number and spoke with a Cherise in New Jersey, who said she had not sent any texts that day and suggested one of her friends might have used her phone. The woman said she was unsure of how the person got her number and if she wants to press charges at this time. UAPD requested that the woman change her phone number and not post it on social media accounts.
Men turn tricks in the breezeway
A UAPD officer observed two men performing tricks on their skateboards in the breezeway of the Student Union Memorial Center and the UofA Bookstore on July 15. The officer later saw the same two men doing more tricks near Second Street and Highland Avenue. The officer stopped them and informed the men they were violating UA policy. The officer conducted a warrants check and found a warrant for one of the men for failure to appear in court on an original charge of possession of dangerous drugs from the Tucson Police Department. The man said he and his friend were on their way to a friend’s house and that he was unaware they were violating policy. The man was placed under arrest for the misdemeanor warrant and booked into Pima County Jail. The man’s skateboard was given to his friend for safekeeping.
Keys, Mace gone missing
A woman reported to UAPD on July 15 that she had lost a set of keys. The key ring she lost had two car keys, a house key, two bicycle lock keys and a canister of Mace. The woman told UAPD she left her home and biked to the Science and Engineering Library. She said she placed the keys on the handlebar of her bike and realized they were gone when she arrived at the library. After retracing her steps, the woman was unable to locate the keys. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. For a complete list of UAPD activity, the daily resumé can be found at http://uapd.arizona.edu.

Joe Hess’ self-owned tea business has roots that stretch back to his childhood. For a third-grade science project, he chose to make a tea from dandelions picked in his backyard. Today, Hess is working to expand his business, Ausperitea, by showcasing new products with biweekly tea tastings. Hess, a native of Flagstaff, first got the idea to pursue a loose-leaf tea business after sampling an oolong tea in Vancouver, Canada. “It was by far and large the best thing I had ever had in my life,” Hess said. “I already knew I was a tea fan, but at that moment there was finally some meat behind my fascination … I would have to be a fool not to see where it could go.” Hess attended a workshop in Las Vegas four years ago to jumpstart his business and Ausperitea was born. Now, Hess sells tea
and related products at shopping malls and weekly farmers markets in Tucson. Hess brewed more than a dozen teas for sampling at his most recent tasting on Friday, including several oolong, rooibos and chai varieties. To relieve some of the summer heat, he also debuted three iced teas at the tasting, as well as a “tea-monade,” a blend of both tea and lemonade. Hess explained that tea tastings are an opportunity to premiere his new products. During each tasting, he also offers instructions and advice, such as the best amount of time to steep a certain tea, and what foods and moods best accompany various tea blends. Terri Lawrence, a regular attendee of Hess’ events, had never been to a tea tasting until she encountered Ausperitea. But through the events, “I have learned more about teas and their regions and blends than I ever thought I wanted to know. And that’s not a bad thing,” Lawrence said.
And the tastings aren’t only beneficial to new customers. Tim Lawrence, Terri Lawrence’s brother, and another regular customer of Ausperitea, added that Hess’ tastings help to expand the horizons of people who already buy tea. As a treat to customers, Hess offers a 10 percent discount toward all products at the tastings and a 20 percent discount to customers who purchase both a pot and a tea. The tastings are also an easy way for buyers to place special orders before teas are made available to other customers, Hess said. “The tastings are a good way to build a customer base, promote product and expand our tea family,” Hess said. Ausperitea hosts tea tastings every other Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Acacia, 3001 E. Skyline Drive. Ausperitea can also be found at St. Phillip’s Plaza every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For more information, visit www.ausperitea.com.

Hey Ole Tom, what’s good? There’s really no polite way to say this, but what exactly do you do? From what I’m able to glean from my television screen, your daily duties consist of leering at patrons while making it rain $100 bills on a glass counter and bola-ing people over with your generosity. I suppose I can assume that makes you a pawn star of some sort, but it’s never clearly said one way or the other. For all I know, you’re a bola-tiewearing Brando who trades money for certain favors on this, the day of your daughter’s wedding. Maybe your store is a front for a dirty money laundering scheme. Or maybe you just take all the knickknacks, melt them down and cast new belt buckles, I’m really not sure. I know you’re renowned for your … er … goodness, but from where I’m standing you could be even better if you spent more time discussing your services and less time showing off your newest hat. But hey, at least your store is dog-friendly, Luke Money Dear Express Flooring and Carpets, You know that feeling you get when you’re witnessing someone else being awkward, and you feel awkward for him? Sort of a weird, sad, secondhand sense of embarrassment? You make me feel that. At first it was just that woman on your commercials, too forcefully exclaiming, “Express Flooring — the happy home people!” But then you dressed her gap-toothed kids, inexplicably, in formal wear and forced them to appear in a commercial with their mother. Way to redefine awkward family photos. I don’t need a new carpet, Kristina Bui
Dear Tucson Appliance Company, Phoenix may have IKEA, but we have you, Bill Edwards. Whether you’re a blues singer, a superhero, Indiana Jones or Uncle Sam, you never cease to provide our community with 30 seconds of slapstick entertainment and reassurance that our happiness is at the top of your list. Not only do you appear to carry any and every brand of luxury appliance, but you also make them available to us at wholesale prices. What more could we ask for? So keep ordering those ridiculous costumes from Party City. Keep dreaming of bigger, better ways to capture our attention as we channel surf. Because finding something interesting to pass the commercial break during “How I Met You Mother” is our priority. Finger guns out, man, Rebecca Rillos Oh, Golf ‘N’ Stuff, Contrary to what your theme song declares, I can get enough of Golf ‘N’ Stuff — and believe me, I have. And since you somehow convinced the cable company to play your ad five times louder than all the other commercials, I really don’t enjoy hearing you chant about “batting cages, video arcade games, bumper boats, go karts and …” (hold on a minute while I sing this part in a completely different key) “…laser tag!” True, the awful but catchy jingle does a good job listing all the stuff we supposedly can’t get enough of, but still. This commercial always comes on late at night, plays on multiple occasions within the same television slot, and the increased volume catches me off guard! Please try something simpler (and quieter) next time, Miranda Butler

‘Glee’ remains dedicated to realism COMMENTARY BY Miranda Butler
I
arts editor
first heard the shocking news about “Glee” a few days ago. Although the hit series has been commissioned for both a third and fourth season, co-creator Ryan Murphy has decided to ditch many fan-favorite characters in order to maintain the show’s completely realistic portrayal of American high schools. In a recent interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Murphy explained his reasoning: “You can keep them on the show for six years and people will criticize you for not being realistic, or you can be really true to life and say when they started the show they were very clearly sophomores and they should graduate at the end of their senior year,” Murphy said. At first, I thought that the show deserved some credit for making such a tough decision. But that was before I realized something: Has the show ever worried about being “realistic” before? Well, let’s see. “Glee” follows the story of a high school glee club, who (although the fact that they’re in a show choir gives them reason to sing) are just waiting to burst into perfectly harmonized song and prearranged
choreography at any given moment. They must compete with Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), a cheerleading coach who is probably insane and spends millions of dollars risking the lives of her precious cheerleaders, the “Cheerios.” And of course, for some reason, Coach Sylvester is the meanest person in the world. She spends most episodes yelling at everyone with a megaphone and plotting new ways to quite literally ruin the life of glee club coach Will Schuester (Matthew Morrison). Here’s the thing. I’m not hating on the show, per se. True, I can’t stand the overly poppy tunes, excessively bright colors and outrageously unrealistic dialogue. But all those things exist for a reason, and there’s a time, place and audience for them. That’s because by its very nature, “Glee” is a caricature of sorts. I’m pretty sure that every overblown stereotype and farfetched chain of events is supposed to be ridiculous, in order to satirize some of the many cultural misconceptions about being a teenager in America today. This rubs many people the wrong way, but at the same time, also keeps many other people tuning in week after week. So sure, Rachel (Lea Michele) is an annoying, bratty, hobbit-sized soprano. And Finn (Cory Monteith) is a shy and awkward quarterback who’s as dumb as a box of rocks. But still, no matter how unrealistic these characters and their show’s plot may be, it is the talent of these actors and the hilarity of their caricatures that keeps people interested in the show — which brings me back to where this began.
Why is Ryan Murphy so concerned about being realistic in a show that people have grown to love simply because it’s so ridiculous? What will happen when the show loses the insanely talented Broadway star Lea Michele? (If you’re thrown by the amount of auto-tuning that “Glee” does, search online for her performance as Wendla in “Spring Awakening.” She really is talented. It’ll blow your mind.) I really can’t say what this will mean to
the show in the future. Maybe “Glee” could benefit from some fresh cast members. Or maybe it won’t. Maybe reality is just too dark for the bright lights of pseudo-high-school Broadway, and this decision could kill all the pop and spunk that the show has worked so hard to achieve. — Miranda Butler is the arts editor of the Summer Wildcat.

Hoopsters Current, former players take part in community camp give back By Seth Stephens ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT
Former UA point guard Nic Wise was back in Tucson last week to run the third annual Tucson Summer Pro League basketball camp along with TSPL director and former Wildcat Corey Williams. The camp for children 8 to 14 years old ran from July 11 through 14 at Tucson Parks and Recreation’s Northwest Center. The four-day camp focused on skill development and the campers were taught basics of shooting and playing defense, but much of the camp was focused on team activities and competitions. “All of the kids are at that younger age where they don’t really know how to work on their skills,” Wise said. “So we incorporate
skills and drills that make them get better but at the same time they’re having fun.” Each day, current and former Wildcats came to help run the camp with Wise. They also met with the campers and gave them advice about life and the game of basketball. On Thursday, they were able to speak to Jamelle Horne and Derrick Williams about their experiences. The children held no punches. “How did you get over the missed threepointer against (Connecticut)?” one camper asked Horne. “We all thought it was going in,” Horne said. “But that’s basketball. It doesn’t always go your way. It was hard to swallow but we had to move on.” The campers were able to play with the Wildcats in games of celebrity knockout and
had the chance for some one-on-one time to shoot around with their favorite players. “A lot of the kids see us as a positive influence and they want to be like us,” said UA guard Brendon Lavender. “I’m all for it, I love to be involved with stuff like this. Everyone showed really good support for Wise, all of Tucson, and he just wants to show it right back.” The camp concluded with an awards ceremony highlighting offensive and defensive all-stars of the camp along with MVPs. After the camp came to a close, the Wildcats were swarmed by campers looking for a chance to meet their heroes and get autographs. “I think stuff like this shows that we actually are human, to see something on TV and then to actually play with the kids and to show them a good time,” Lavender said.
Legal issues take center stage as NFL, players near deal MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS The NFL and player representatives continued inching ever closer Monday on a new collective bargaining agreement and on resolving all remaining legal entanglements between the sides. Barring an unexpected snag in negotiations, a new deal could be approved Thursday, when owners meet in Atlanta. “It looks good,” a person with knowledge of the talks said late Monday. “Hopefully in a couple days, we’ll have all this behind us.” U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, the federally appointed mediator in the longstanding dispute, returned Monday from a trip to Ireland. He found that the sides had made remarkable progress in his absence by agreeing to all the major financial issues, as well as a rookie salary structure that proved to be the last major stumbling block in CBA negotiations. The legal issues Monday took center stage, as lawyers for the NFL and the players had settlement discussions on several fronts. Attorneys are seeking to settle an antitrust suit filed against the NFL by 10 players, including quarterbacks Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning. The Brady lawsuit was joined by several retired players, including former Vikings defensive end Carl Eller, so any settlement talks would include
WISE continued from page 12 Germany. Looking to play on an inter-country team where there are only two Americans. It’s more demanding, more pressure, but that’s what I’m looking for. In the next few years where do you see yourself? Eventually next summer get back into the NBA summer league, go to an NBA camp. With the lockout, I couldn’t this summer. Have another good season this year and hopefully make the playoffs. After that see if I can make it to the NBA. Considering the NBA could be losing the next season due to the lockout,
that segment of the lawsuit. The sides also are trying to settle a case in which the NFL was found to be in violation of the CBA by negotiating network television contracts. Damages from that case, which was decided in March by District Court Judge David S. Doty, could exceed $1 billion, but resolving the matter would eliminate any sanctions. Meetings will continue Wednesday in New York and also in Washington, where members of the NFL Players Association’s executive committee will meet. Player representatives from the 32 teams will join the meetings Wednesday, and players could vote on the proposed pact later that day. A simple majority is needed to approve the deal. Prior to voting, players would have to decide to recertify as a union; the NFLPA decertified March 11, the day the Brady lawsuit was filed. Owners are set to meet in Atlanta, where they, too, would vote on the new agreement. A minimum 24 owners are needed to agree on a new CBA. Teams are sending key front-office personnel to Atlanta to be briefed on the rules governing the new deal, and the league year is expected to begin Monday. Teams would have three days to sign their own free agents, draft picks and undrafted free agents. On July 28, a five-day signing period would take place for all unrestricted free agents. Training camps also could open around
do you expect a lot of NBA players to play overseas next year? Not a lot, but a few. Some of the guys who haven’t spent their money wisely will head over there but most, like myself, are smart with their money. Were you able to keep an eye on the Wildcats this last year? I did. A lot of the games came on late so I would have to stay up to 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning just to watch them but I’m still close with all the guys. They Skype me every road trip and stuff like that, and obviously my brother is still on the team so I still have a connection with them. During your senior
that time; it is uncertain when the Jets and Giants will open theirs. Both teams have decided to have training camp at their respective facilities in New Jersey, not in upstate New York. According to people involved in the talks, as well as others who have been briefed on the negotiations, there is general agreement that things are far enough along for there to be genuine optimism about a deal being done. Some of the key provisions of the 10year deal: Players will receive 46-48 percent of gross revenues, without the $1 billion credit the NFL originally requested. The salary cap will be reinstituted; it’s set at approximately $120 million for the 2011 season. Players will become free agents after a minimum of four years of service, once their contracts expire. Last year, without the salary cap, players needed at least six years’ experience to be eligible for free agency. A reconfigured rookie salary structure will dramatically lower salaries in the top half of the draft, and no rookie contract will exceed five years. The fifth will be an option year at the club’s discretion, but would offer a salary commensurate with the league’s best-paid players at their respective positions. Teams are still permitted to use the franchise tag for one player. Retired players will see close to $1 billion in additional pension and benefits.
year, the team was made up primarily with a large group of freshman that turned the corner last season, winning the Pacific 10 Conference and making it to the Elite Eight. How much of a connection do you feel this had to the success of the Wildcats this last year? I almost felt like I was still there. Guys even offered to give me their Pac-10 championship ring, that’s how close we still are. I did still feel like I was there, but they earned it, not me. Looking back on your career at the UA, what is your best moment as a Wildcat? Probably making it to the Sweet 16. Everyone, even ourselves, didn’t think we
wouldn’t even make the (NCAA) tournament. We made it and we made a great run with Jordan (Hill) and Chase (Budinger). Your senior day, hitting the game-winning layup in double overtime to beat USC, can you remember what your thoughts were during your final game at the UA? It’s tough playing on your senior night, especially with everything I had been through. I know I was nervous the whole game. It was a great experience to see all of the love after the game. All the fans stayed, I was the only senior. It was a really good feeling seeing all the love and affection I got for that. My family liked that a lot.
“We actually enjoy it as much as they do.” The camp had 66 participants, which Wise said was well above the anticipated number for his first year at the helm. With the success of this year’s camp, Wise said he is planning on coming back to Tucson in years to come. “We’re looking forward to doing this every year,” Wise said as the camp was winding down. “Once Jordan Hill came and saw how the camp was going he wants to get on board next year. Chase Budinger is having his camp in San Diego this same week so next year he wants to move it around and maybe join me as well.” Lavender and Horne, who both showed interest in helping Wise in years to come, hold a similar position to Budinger and Hill. “When you see that smile on some of these kids’ faces,” Horne said, “you know it’s genuine.”
SALAVE’A continued from page 12 understand the mistakes those players make, he said. “Whenever they mess up, I just try to correct them,” Washington said. “I’ll give them hints on their pass rush, just stuff that I know helped me during my first season is stuff I’ll try to help them with, too.” Washington said that he’s careful not to get too vocal or upset with younger players for making mistakes. “I don’t really get after them too much,” Washington said. “I’ll just be like, ‘Yeah, that was good,’ or ‘You’ve got to get your steps right,’ or just talking to them like a friend.” While fans may look at this year’s D-line as having to replace players like Elmore and Reed, Washington said that he is just concentrating on what this year’s unit can accomplish as a whole. “We don’t have to make any new names,” he said. “It’s just coming together as a unit, as a family and as a team.” But Salave’a said he makes sure that his players know that any success they’ve had in the past won’t automatically translate to the 2011 season. “What we did two hours ago isn’t going to guarantee us nothing right now,” Salave’a said. “I’m like their conscience right now. What they did last year, it don’t mean nothing to me, it don’t mean nothing to our team. But their leadership and the way they going about working right now … that’s how we’re going to get this thing done.”

Sports Words from the Wise Q& A Former UA guard adjusting to European life
By Seth Stephens ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT
After being unable to crack an NBA roster in his first season since graduating from Arizona, former UA guard Nic Wise took his game overseas to Germany. The Arizona Summer Wildcat sat down with Wise to discuss his UA connection, how his game has changed and what it’s like to look back on his senior day game-winner against USC. Summer Wildcat: How was your last season playing in Germany for the Telekom Baskets? Nic Wise: We were good up until the all-star break. We were fourth in the league but then we got some injuries in the second half of the season and we ended up dropping one game out of the playoffs. It happens but you never know if we would have been injury-free. How did you do individually? I was the only rookie starting point guard in the league. I led the team in scoring, assists and steals. What would you say is the biggest difference between the European game and basketball in the U.S.? I think the game is more slowed down. Guys are not as athletic over there so everyone plays smarter. You have to find ways to score rather than running and jumping over guys. It’s more of a mental game than a physical one. Did you learn anything about your game specifically playing
in Germany? It took me a while to adapting to the game over there but I had four coaches at Arizona, so having a new coach and a new system ... It takes time but I’m used to it. How would you describe your first season in Germany? It was good. I loved the organization, my coach and teammates. I obviously played well so I would say it was a good overall experience for me.
The roster for your team is made up primarily of German and American players. How helpful was it to have so many American players on your team? It did help. My first year could have been tough, (I could have gone) to another country where there is only one other American player on your team and your coach barely speaks English. I think that would have been tough. Going to Germany this year was a good adaptation for me.
Do you expect to play for the same team next year? No. I’m looking to get outside of

First-year defensive line coach making big impact Joe Salave’a is a well-traveled man. Having spent nine years in the NFL and named AllPacific-10 Conference two times, Salave’a commands the attention of a room when he talks. The first-year defensive line coach has used that to his advantage while changing the mindset of Arizona’s D-line, which must replace the production of ends Brooks Reed and Ricky Elmore, who were second and sixth-round picks, respectively, in April’s NFL draft. But Salave’a, who played at Arizona from 1994 to 1997, hasn’t taken any sort of groundbreaking or revolutionary approach when working with Arizona’s linemen. Instead, he focused on returning to fundamentals during Arizona’s spring practices. “The difference between the good teams and the great teams,” Salave’a said, “is the little things.” That message hasn’t been lost on redshirt sophomore Justin Washington. The lone returning starter on Arizona’s D-line, Washington said that Salave’a’s focus on fundamentals has helped the unit become stronger as a whole. “He’s been very helpful. He’s been helpful since the day he got here,” Washington said. “We’ve learned a lot of new stuff, new techniques, and it’s good for us.” After the final leg of a nine-year NFL career ended in 2006 with the Washington Redskins,
Salave’a spent the 2008 and 2009 seasons as an assistant coach at San Jose State under Dick Tomey, who served as Arizona’s head coach during Salave’a’s playing days as a Wildcat. Washington cited Salave’a’s NFL experience as a reason why the coach has been so helpful. “It’s definitely great having him around,” Washington said. “He’s been through it all already, through college and the NFL. He knows what it takes to get there, and he’s trying to give that to us.” In 2010, Salave’a, a native of Leone, American Samoa, spent a month at the Seattle Seahawks’ training camp as part of the NFL’s Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship before volunteering with the football team at Liberty High School, located just outside of Las Vegas. But Salave’a said he got the itch to return to college coaching last winter, and that he couldn’t have asked for a better group of players to work with. “You can always work with the kids that are willing to do the work that you ask of them,” he said. “They’ve done everything thus far … the maturity part will come.” Although it would seem that Washington, who earned first-team Freshman All-America honors from Sporting News and College Football News after his 46-tackle, six-sack freshman season, is a natural fit for a leadership role, Salave’a isn’t quite ready to anoint him leader of the unit. “I expect all of our guys to take that role, the beauty of this game is that it’s ‘what have you
SPORTS BRIEFS Football schedules South Carolina State
The Orangeburg Times and Democrat reported on July 11 that Arizona has added South Carolina State to its football schedule, with the teams tentatively scheduled to play on Sept. 15, 2012, in Tucson.

Antolin on Doak Walker Award watch list
How was it adapting to the lifestyle in Germany? It’s real different, an eye-opener. The cultures are different. You forget that people over there don’t speak your language. Germans tend to learn English but not in other places like France. They don’t try to learn your language so you have to adapt to them.

done for me lately?’” Salave’a said. “What he’s done last year isn’t going to buy him anything this year.” But while Salave’a is hesitant to appoint Washington as a leader, the sophomore said he feels the responsibility of being one of the more experienced players on the defensive side of the ball. “I got one season under my belt, it’s time for me to step up and lead these younger guys,” Washington said. “We’ve got a lot of young guys on the D-line, I just want to be a good example for them.” The fact that Washington has only a single season of game experience hasn’t slowed down his ability to help more inexperienced players. Things that helped him during that season are still fresh in his mind, which helps him better SALAVE’A, page 11
