Even under the sun, work goes on By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT While it may be a dry heat, it still takes some adjustments to make sure work gets done around campus in the summer. For those at CORE Construction, who are working on Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall and Likins Hall, adjusting to the warm weather is old hat. “It’s hot but it’s not that big a deal,” said Tim Roley, project manager at CORE Construction. To cope with the weather, Roley said, workers scale back their hours, and a typical construction worker in the summer will kick off the day at 4 a.m. and wrap up at 1 p.m. The only thing they can’t do during the day, Roley said, is pour concrete. To adjust, they pour it at night. Facilities Management Director Chris Kopach said many of his employees have to deal with extreme heat, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning mechanics that work on the roofs. To stay functional and safe in the heat, Kopach said it’s important to make sure employees stay hydrated and informed about summer safety issues such as sun protection and hydration. Several capital improvement projects are

taking place at the UA while students are away. In addition to the ongoing construction of the two new residence halls, crews are performing maintenance on Coronado Residence Hall, repaving Tyndall Avenue and beginning construction on a new scoreboard for Arizona Stadium. Sixth Street will be closed to through traffic because of construction on the new scoreboard for two weekends that have yet to be determined, according to a press release from Planning, Design and Construction. The closure is due to the delivery and installation of 55-foot tall steel pipe columns that will support the scoreboard. It will require two large cranes to place the columns and the closure is due to the size of both the cranes and the columns. Motorists will be detoured to Speedway or Broadway boulevards while those wishing to visit the UA or Sixth Street businesses will be directed through campus around the construction, according to the press release. But employees aren’t the only living things fighting against the elements. The UA landscape can’t just grab a bottle of water to stay hydrated. Kopach said Facilities Management regularly checks to make sure the campus’ computerized irrigation system HEAT, page 2

The Autonomous Cooperative Underwater Robotic Vehicle, or A-CURV, takes a test dive in a swimming pool. Eduardo Moreno’s new brand of robot will be low-cost and could conceivably administer underwater services to the Navy, film crews, the Department of Homeland Security and rescue missions.

New A-CURV device can operate underwater and on land By Amer Taleb ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Last summer, Eduardo Moreno began restructuring the world of underwater robotics. Bolstered by the support of the Ronald E. McNair Summer Research Program and pushed by the abrupt departure of his assigned mentor, the senior studying mechanical and electrical engineering began the brainstorming process that eventually lead to the Autonomous Cooperative Underwater Robotic Vehicle, or A-CURV. Underwater robots are utilized for a variety of tasks, including environmental and scientific data gathering, inspection and assembly of submarine facilities and equipment, Moreno said.

Moreno’s new brand of robot will be lowcost and could conceivably administer underwater services to the Navy, film crews, the Department of Homeland Security and rescue missions. Moreno has already showcased his work at a number of venues, including stops in Anaheim, Calif., and New Orleans. The A-CURV could also come in handy when cleaning up catastrophes. “Recently, we witnessed the British Petroleum oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a large man-made disaster that has devastated the Gulf Coast,” Moreno said. “The severe lack of underwater technologies necessary to stop the disaster became apparent to the world.” Ninety percent of the parts and raw material were ordered online, some segments

being outsourced from Mexico, Moreno said. The first prototype cost roughly $8,000 and to follow through with the project (a stipend to work full time, pay for hardware and software costs, etc.) Moreno estimated he would need a minimum of $40,000. Although he’s received help from several donors and organizations, about 75 percent of the project has been paid out of pocket with Moreno’s scholarship money. “After the summer ended, I realized how large the scope was of this research project and knew that I was in need of a team,” Moreno said. He drafted a letter to the College of Engineering asking for sponsorship of a senior design capstone project. He’s now ROBOT, page 2

Those considering posting photos from a wild Vegas vacation may want to reconsider, now that an employment screening company will be archiving all Facebook information left public for its use. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission is allowing Social Intelligence Corp. to keep files of Facebook users’ posts as part of a background-checking service for screening job applicants . The corporation, a screening company that helps employers find viable employees by gathering their public information from the Internet, is archiving this information to provide a verifiable chain-of-custody in case it is ever needed for legal reasons. Susan Ferrell , an Associated Students of the University of Arizona legal services adviser and adjunct assistant law professor at the UA , said that if an individual posts something on the Internet in a public space accessible to anyone, they lose their right to privacy. While the company could not use a Facebook user ’s image to sell something without their consent, she explained, it can archive information a user shares publicly. FACEBOOK, page 3

NEWS BRIEFS New Miss Arizona advances to nationals

Jenny Sedler, a UA premed student from Tempe, was recently named Miss Arizona and now plans to take her sophomore year off of school in order to compete in the Miss America pageant on Jan. 14 . Only two women from Arizona have ever won the crown in the pageant’s 91year history.

CEO now MIA

Henry Wells, the interim CEO of UA Healthcare , has resigned his post due to health concerns . Wells, who announced his decision in a memo posted on the UA Healthcare website, had held his post for less than two months. His tenure was set to expire automatically on July 31. Wells took over for former CEO Kevin Burns , who resigned on April 13 , the same day the Arizona Legislature passed a bill that would take control of the University Medical Center away from the Arizona Board of Regents . Burns had served as CEO of UMC since February 2010. A search for a replacement is now ongoing.

UA study shows warming water a danger to ice caps

Warming ocean water is melting the Antarctic and Greenland polar ice caps faster than previously projected, according to new UA-led research. The projections, based on 19 different climate models, show that this warming could be far more devastating to the stability of the caps than atmospheric warming, which has been the focus of most global climate change research to this point. The higher melting rate would also raise sea levels faster and at a higher rate than previously projected, according to the research.

The rain in Arizona falls rarely

Thursday’s late-night spattering of rain marked the first time in 81 days that rain has fallen on the Tucson metro area, a streak matching the fourthlongest in state history. The longest such streak occurred in 2002, when 100 days passed without rain. Rain fell again on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and there is a chance for precipitation throughout the rest of the week. — Arizona Summer Wildcat

ROBOT continued from page 1 leading and sponsoring a five-man research team of multidisciplinary engineers. Two ranks of robots carry the monopoly on underwater robotics, the remotely operated vehicle and the autonomous underwater vehicle. The core difference is that the former is remotecontrolled and on-board computers handle the latter. The remote-operated vehicle is limited in areas of speed and area inspection while the autonomous underwater vehicle lacks the same precision and does not have the ability to provide live video feedback. Moreno said he believes his robot can accomplish all the tasks of both these types, and more. The A-CURV will be an underwater network consisting of several modules; each shaped in the form of an isosceles triangle, capable of coming together and morphing into an array of complex geometric shapes. Advantages of a large and connected structure are enhanced stability in the water, more thrusters that can retrieve and manipulate larger loads and optimizing energy usage. “The reconfigurable aspect of the design will provide unique capabilities and flexibility for underwater missions,” said Ricardo Sanfelice, an assistant professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering and one of Moreno’s mentors. Each module will be able to navigate independently as well, Moreno said. The structure could intentionally break up at any time, allowing individual pieces to take off and perform tasks on their own. Modules will pack an array of functions including gripping, navigation, temperature reading and specimen storage. The A-CURV’s design may have ripple effects outside of the water as well. Moreno said the modular and cooperative qualities of the A-CURV will be developed for other terrains and could be applied to land or aerial vehicle control systems. Moving forward, Moreno said he hopes to

Maria Teresa Velez, director of the McNair Achievement Program and associate dean of the Graduate College, said Moreno’s strong and positive impact on the McNair Achievement Program’s reputation would be felt for years to come. The McNair Achievement Program began in 2003 through a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. It prepares top undergraduates that are first generation and low-income for graduate school by way of academic resources and opportunities. “The project is a testimony that even as a student, one can pursue activities beyond the outlined academic program,” Moreno said.

prone to flooding so they have a monsoon flood response team on call. Right now Kopach said there are about 25 locations on campus where Facilities Management is checking to make sure the drainage areas are debris free in order to prevent those areas from getting clogged and then flooding. “Our facilities staff work really hard in these extreme temperatures,” Kopach said. “We’re trying to be real proactive to prevent any damage.”

Mexican consulate seeks to prevent migrant deaths MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS As temperatures soar into the triple digits, undocumented immigrants continue to risk their lives crossing the desert in hopes of reaching the United States. Some of them die in their desperate attempts. Seeking to prevent illegal immigrants from losing their lives or freedom, the Mexico Consulate in Yuma has started its Preventive Protection Campaign 2011. The annual campaign’s aim is to discourage “undocumented people from crossing the desert and to alert all migrants about the dangers they face in their attempt to enter into the United States through this border, especially with the climate,” said Larissa Jimenez-Reynoso of the consulate’s Department of Assistance and Protection for Mexicans. “If it’s difficult for us who live on the border to perform our daily activities and we are used to this weather, for the migrant population, who mainly come from the central and southern states of Mexico, it will be even more difficult,” Jimenez-Reynoso said. According to the consulate, the apprehension of illegal immigrants has declined while migrant deaths in the Arizona desert are increasing. “One reason is that the flow has shifted and migrants are walking through very dangerous areas to prevent being found by Border Patrol,” JimenezReynoso said. She noted that illegal immigrants are often abandoned by smugglers, known as “coyotes,” who never

explain the difficulties of the journey. She said it’s not unusual for them to walk up to 80 miles and take three to four days to arrive to their destinations, sometimes without food and water. The consulate is also using the campaign to let migrants know about the risks they face if they are detained by immigration authorities, such as separation from their families and imprisonment for several days, months and even years. “We consider it equally important to talk about the legal consequences that a person may face, whether or not they are a minor, for attempting to introduce illegal substances,” Jimenez-Reynoso said. She noted that it is becoming more common for traffickers to deceive and use children for smuggling drugs. “So far this year we have documented nine cases of children who face charges related to drug trafficking.” The consulate is reminding migrants that if they are detained, they could be imprisoned for up to six months due to a U.S. immigration program called Streamline. To meet the campaign objectives, the consulate has developed a series of printed materials, including brochures and posters, to be distributed along the border from San Luis Rio Colorado to Sonoyta, Mexico, and Los Algodones, Baja Calif. Materials will also be distributed in areas such as bus stations, shelters, public areas and at Mexican highway checkpoints.

continued from page 1 “If you make something public, you have legally lost control of it,” Ferrell said. A spokesperson for Social Intelligence said that the archived data is purely for compliance reasons and will never be used for new screens. The data collected is employer-defined criteria legally allowable in the hiring process, such as racist remarks, sexually explicit photos or evidence of drug use. While a UA student applying for jobs may want to edit inappropriate activity displayed on their Facebook, they may also want to utilize social media in order to market their strengths and accomplishments, according to Eileen McGarry, the director of Career Services . McGarry explained that employers could be more likely to hire an individual if they show good communication skills and creativity on their social media websites, and mediums like Facebook should be looked at as another venue to selfpromote. “It (Facebook) should complement your resume, it shouldn’t create a

negative image,” she said. “Look at it through an employer ’s eyes, or through the eyes of a professional group that you would want to be a part of.” Victoria Tsze , a UA psychology student who graduated in the spring , said that she has changed her Facebook privacy setting since graduating and landing a job at D&G Concepts , a marketing firm for Fortune 500 companies. She does not allow non-Facebook friends to see any photos on her profile and does not post about alcohol or partying. “I don’t want to make a bad impression with my future employers. You never know what they may think about you,” she said. Tsze added that because she was hired at a marketing firm, she must appear personable on the Internet by showing that she socializes and connects with a large number of friends. “I think Facebook can make both a very good and very bad impression,” she said. “If you seem sociable with a good personality, employers see it as a bonus. If you post negatively and seem to party every day, it will look bad upon you.”

Casey Anthony found not guilty in daughter’s death MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS ORLANDO, Fla. — After deliberating for less than 11 hours over two days, a jury decided Tuesday afternoon that prosecutors did not prove Casey Anthony was guilty of capital murder in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Marie. After the courtroom was cleared, a beaming Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s defense attorney, said, “While we are happy for Casey, there are no winners in this case.” He said Caylee died much too young, but added: “Casey did not murder Caylee; it’s just that simple.” As soon as the verdicts were read, Casey Anthony embraced Baez in the silent courtroom. The prosecutors in the case, Jeff Ashton and Linda Drane Burdick, looked somber. Her parents, George and Cindy Anthony, walked out of the courtroom while Casey Anthony was being fingerprinted. The verdict means 25-year-old Casey Anthony was found not guilty of all charges except for four counts of providing false information to law enforcement officer. As soon as the jury left the courtroom, Casey Anthony tightly hugged Baez,

and then the rest of her defense team. All of them appeared to be crying. In a news conference after the verdict, defense attorney Cheney Mason lashed out at the media and at the legal pundits who have been following the case for three years. “I hope that this is a lesson to those of you that have indulged in media assassination the last three years,” said Mason. He expressed anger at some of his fellow attorneys commenting on the case and criticizing the defense. He expressed appreciation for the jury. The jury’s verdicts represent a stunning victory for the defense and especially Baez, who came from relative obscurity to become perhaps the most recognized criminal defense attorney in the world. “You cannot convict someone until they’ve had their day in court,” Baez said. He credited the prosecution and said all three prosecutors “serve the state of Florida very well.” Casey Anthony will be sentenced Thursday at 9 a.m. She faces a maximum of four years in prison — one for each of the four counts of providing false information to law enforcement. But that means she could be released

from jail as soon as Thursday, if she is given less than the maximum charge and credit for time served. Casey Anthony’s case has captivated the nation since July 2008, when Caylee was reported missing. When Casey Anthony’s trial began May 24 in Orange County, the proceedings attracted court watchers from around the world. Caylee was reported missing July 15, 2008, by her grandmother, Cindy Anthony. It wasn’t long after Casey Anthony’s initial arrest on a child neglect charge that detectives publicly acknowledged Caylee may be dead and her mother may be involved. Evidence began to mount against Casey Anthony. Cadaver dogs hit on the trunk of her Pontiac Sunfire and the family’s backyard. The car reeked. Air samples taken from the trunk showed signs of decomposition and elevated levels of chloroform. A hair sample taken from inside the trunk of the car showed signs of post-mortem root banding — meaning the hair had come from the head of a dead person. In October 2008, a grand jury indicted Anthony on the seven charges, including murder.

PERSPECTIVES

Tucson suffers from lack of legislative W remedies

t has been almost six months since the Jan. 8 shooting. Since then, recovery stories and dedication ceremonies have rolled in. By now we have all felt touched and overjoyed to see the photographs of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ smiling face. Nonetheless, no official word has come regarding the completion of her recovery or her possible return to office. Of course, her family and office have been very mum on the subject, and honestly who can blame them? Despite Giffords’ incredible recovery, she still seems to have a long way to go, leaving a considerable part of Tucson hanging in the balance without representation. While Giffords breathtakingly battles to get back to a healthy state, there seems to be little that can help the ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT predicament many Tucson citizens are left with. Currently, the only document that holds any relevance to such a problem is the Constitution, and even that doesn’t solve the matter. Article I, Section 2 supplies a remedy should a vacancy be declared in a congressional seat. It reads, “When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.” However, vacancy can only be declared in the event of death, resignation or removal from office by way of impeachment. To clarify, I’m not suggesting a vacancy be declared on the Giffords’ seat. Thus, legislation can’t provide a therapy to the absence of representation. It becomes clear, though, that something must be done to fix this issue. The suggestion here is not that Giffords resign, or her seat be vacated, but rather that some sort of legislative addition, or amendment be made to either House or Senate rules. It is not as though assassination attempts on elected congressional officials have never occurred. There have been multiple documented attacks on the lives of congressional members. Of the assassination attempts that left members wounded, their seats remained vacant until they returned, as will likely be the case for Giffords. It still begs the question: If this has happened before, why has no safety net been established to prevent a lack of representation? While some may say that the empty seats left in the meantime serve as a reminder, or a symbol, it doesn’t change the fact that it is hindering the true functions of representative government. The right to representation is simply and unequivocally fundamental. It is not a coincidence that we have seen it mentioned in the Virginia Declaration of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. While Giffords is most certainly entitled to her time when she is ready to return, a point which nobody argues against, a resolution ought to be established until she is ready to resume. Essentially, there needs to be someone to serve in the interim. Unfortunately, there seems to be no plan to create any such legislation. Until the time that either Giffords is healthy enough to return or an acceptable solution is found, the citizens of Tucson will continue to be devoid of representation at the federal level. —Storm Byrd is the Summer Wildcat perspectives editor.

Takes

Take a course, save a penny

ith smaller class sizes and shorter sessions, summer school is an appealing option for many students. However, after experiencing a couple of summer classes myself, I realized there are a lot of drawbacks. While summer school may be enticing, you may be better off spending your summer working, tanning and slurping down watermelon Eegees. ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Most summer sessions are five weeks long and courses usually run three hours a day for four days a week. Even if you’re only taking one course at a time, no one can remain completely focused for such an extended period. Before you know it, you’ll be completely lost as you think about the people you are inviting for an upcoming road trip rather than your rapidly approaching weekend calculus test. Rotational volume, Taylor series, electrochemistry and stoichiometry are all complicated concepts that require lots of practice and application. It’s hard enough to squeeze all of those into a sentence, not to mention a five-week “semester.” Naturally, the pace for a summer course must be accelerated greatly. If you fall behind, there’s not a lot of time to catch up or even ask for help. The brain simply isn’t designed to absorb a semester’s worth of material in a mere five weeks … or at least my brain isn’t. While some students opt to take summer courses in order to get ahead on credits, others are in there to play catch up. That means your classmates may not be the sharpest pencils, so to speak. Interestingly enough, the same can be said about the quality of a summer professor. Faculty members yearn for a break from another long year just like students do. They may be at the beach enjoying the same rays as your friend, while you’re stuck in a stuffy summer school room with a sub for a professor. If you have a scholarship that includes funding for a summer session, you’re a pretty lucky person. But for the rest of us, we get to pay full price for tuition, fees and books. That hurts. Some students can afford the classes by working, but it’s very difficult to juggle both work and school. Eventually your grade will sink underwater … or below “C” level. I’ve always thought summer school was a cage you voluntarily lock yourself in when all you really want to do is break out. Just take my word, skip summer school and do something you couldn’t do because you were in class the other nine months out of the year.

ith summer in full swing, there is one thing that continues to permeate some students’ lives: summer school. Although a seemingly horrible pollutant to your carefree summer of beaches, internships and relaxation, summer school can be a worthy investment. Perhaps the most noticeable part of summer school is that it is significantly ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT shorter, ranging from five to eight weeks. Because of its short nature, professors cannot cover all the material, so, in a way, it becomes much easier. If you simply have to pass a difficult course, summer school is your best bet at getting that “D” for your degree. During summer school, you may experience a smaller class size in comparison to the standard semester. As a result, you can experience a wider range of friends and a more intimate student-teacher relationship. Take advantage and get to know someone new. As briefly mentioned before, summer school provides an opportunity to focus on some of the more challenging classes that you may have been struggling to complete during the year. As such, summer school can lighten your loads for the fall and spring semester. It may alternatively provide you with an opportunity to explore a subject that you may have been interested in but you could not pursue during the hub and bub of the fall or spring semesters. Whether it is sign language, ceramics, welding or calculus, summer school can provide you with that chance to find a hobby you enjoy in the form of a quirky elective. Bearing in mind its educational benefits, summer school is also a great financial investment. By taking a good amount of classes during the summer, students can graduate early. Clearly the benefit outweighs the burden. One thing that everyone can agree on about summer break is its abnormally long length. Over time, your brain becomes dull from all the video games, remedial jobs and internships, and your brain balloon can pop. The results of this are seen when fall comes around in your second semester organic chemistry class and you realize that you have forgotten all about the first semester. You’re then stuck trying to teach yourself the first semester while scrambling to keep up with the second. Summer school can definitely prevent those horrible moments of forgetfulness and can keep you thinking throughout the summer. It’s a considerable confidence booster. Summer school is a great investment, but if you still aren’t convinced go get a paid internship or go study abroad. Go out and discover.

AZ elections no longer free or fair Nyles Kendall

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

ast week in a narrow 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court upended Arizona’s Citizens Clean Elections Act, dealing yet another crippling blow to the democratic process. Under this law, candidates for state office who collect a sufficient number of $5 contributions from voters and agree to an overall expenditure cap are offered a lump sum of public funds to pay for their campaign expenses. The Supreme Court deleteriously struck down CCEA’s matching funds provision, which levels the playing field when the expenditures of privately-funded candidates exceed the amount of state funding granted to publicly-financed candidates. For every dollar that a privately financed candidate raises or spends, the candidate receiving

public funding receives a dollar. CCEA’s aim is quite simple: to preserve democracy by loosening the stranglehold that big money has on our political process. Any fair-minded believer in democracy would agree that the law’s intent is hardly objectionable. CCEA’s naysayers seem to believe that a person’s chances of winning an election depend solely upon how much money they have at their disposal. While funds are certainly important, a candidate’s message and platform are meaningful too. Should he or she be able to develop a strong and substantive ground to stand on, they should have no problem competing with publicly financed candidates with equal funding. The five conservative Supreme Court Justices who have deemed the matching funds provision “unconstitutional” claim that it flies in the face of the First Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts and his four partners-in-crime (Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito) have held that CCEA restricts political speech by forcing privately-funded candidates to curtail their fundraising efforts to avoid triggering the matching funds provision. But as proponents of

the law have pointed out, all candidates are free to spend and raise as much money as they please. Arizona’s clean election program is strictly voluntary. If a candidate chooses to fund his campaign through private and personal funds, the law does not limit the amount of campaign contributions he or she can accept, nor does it dictate how much money they can spend to convey their message. Any claim to the contrary is, quite frankly, baseless and absurd. A simple reading of CCEA’s text dispels the central premise of the Court’s decision. So what are the implications of the court’s flawed ruling? Well, if you had already lost faith in the democratic process, this decision isn’t likely to lift your spirits. The upending of CCEA has marked the end of free and fair elections in Arizona. Candidates more concerned with winning elections than serving the public’s interest will make corrupt bargains with big business and special interest to gain the funds needed to fuel their campaigns. Office seekers who are the least financially endowed will have their voices drowned out. — Nyles Kendall is a political science senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

POLICE BEAT By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Student with beer, pills disturbs La Paz

Around midnight on June 30, a University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call at La Paz Residence Hall about illegal alcohol and drug use by a student. The officer approached the student in question in the hall. The student said he was staying in the residence hall for orientation with his roommate. The officer noted he smelled strongly of alcohol and his eyes were watery and bloodshot. The student let the officer into his room, where the officer noted three bottles of Heineken beer in the trash. The officer also noticed white residue on the desk next to the student’s residence hall access card and a white pill. The student reached into his pockets and begin to stand up several times. The student ignored the officer’s command to stop and the officer handcuffed the student. The student admitted to drinking earlier and said one of his friends had sold him a pill and half of a Xanax for $7. The student was cited and released.

Two beers, two officers and one arrest

Two UAPD officers were talking in the Circle K parking lot at Sixth Street and Cherry Avenue around 1:30 a.m. on June 30 when a vehicle pulled up to their squad car and two men got out. The passenger went into the store while the driver made a comment to the officers and waited for a response. The officer said he did not understand the comment and noted the man appeared to be having trouble expressing his thoughts. The officer asked if he was talking about a movie and the man responded he didn’t think they had made a movie about it yet. The other officer asked the man how much he had to drink and he responded that he had been drinking. He walked unsteadily and tried multiple times to put his key in the lock of the car. He gave the officers his license, registration and insurance. The man said he had two beers earlier.

Tube-ular theft at Main Library

A UAPD officer responded to a call from outside of the Main Library at 9:30 a.m. on June 30. A man reported to the officer that someone had stolen the innertube from his bicycle’s front tire during the short time he was inside. He stated that his bike was secured on the rack, but that his cable was not long enough to secure the front wheel. He said it would be very easy for someone to take the front wheel off, pull the tube out and put the wheel and tire back on the bike. A victim’s rights form was mailed to the man’s P.O. box.

Man has drinking problem, cops have problem with his drinking

A UAPD officer went to Seventh Street and Warren Place to respond to a report of a man who had been drinking in public on June 30. The officer approached the man, who said he was waiting for his shift as a bartender to start. There was an open 18-pack of 12 oz. Budweiser beer in front of him. He said he had consumed three of the beers. The man admitted he had a problem with alcohol and wanted to get better. The officer took the beer for disposal and the man went on his way. Approximately 15 minutes later, the officer was advised via radio that the same man was in possession of another 18-pack of Budweiser. The officer went to the area and watched as the man placed the beer in the bushes near the stadium and walked away. The officer approached the man again, who said he was hiding the beer there and planned to retrieve it later. The officer arrested the man on suspicion of criminal littering.

Local comic book store celebrates superheroines with Noel Neill, TV’s first Lois Lane By Miranda Butler ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT It’s been more than 50 years since the original “Adventures of Superman” television show premiered. But even today, fans still celebrate the series and the characters that made it memorable. Noel Neill was the first actress to ever play Lois Lane in the black and white Superman serials of the late 1940s. She also joined the cast of the regular television series during its second season. And this week, after moving from California to Tucson, she visited fans at Heroes and Villains comic book store on Broadway Boulevard. “Noel Neill is a living legend and an American icon. We’re honored that the First Lady of Metropolis (chose) to pay a visit to our store,” said Mike Camp, the storeowner. The beloved actress, who is now 91 years old, met her fans and gracefully offered autographs during an hour-long visit on July 2. She even brought her own photographs from her days on the

show, which she personally signed for each of her fans in the crowd. Neill’s visit was just the beginning of an entire evening of female friendly superheroics at Heroes and Villians. The event also included an auction for a script of “Supergirl,” autographed by female DC Comics writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, and a visit by costumed superheroines from the Justice League Arizona. Eric Esquivel, the media representative for Heroes and Villains, explained: “It’s cool to have a female event in a very heavily maledominated industry … we’re celebrating the women, not only the fictional women but the real women, of comics. That’s something we’re really proud to be a part of.” Heroes and Villains has also been involved in numerous other events in the Tucson community, including fundraisers and charity work. In addition to selling comic books and hosting game nights, the store frequently raises money for homeless children and families and raises awareness for supporting literacy. “We believe in what comics say, we believe

in not just the fiction of it, but how we can use that fiction to impact our actual reality,” Esquivel said. “That’s the main point of the store … to have a positive impact on the world, using these guys as our role models.”

Justice League Arizona

Two members of the Justice League Arizona were also present at the superheroine event. In the same spirit as the Heroes and Villains store, the Justice League Arizona focuses on charity work, especially for children. Esquivel explained that the Justice League Arizona is a local cosplay group that dresses as heroes from the DC Comics pantheon. “They volunteer in costume to draw attention to whatever cause they’re going for. They did Relay for Life recently — it was pretty cool to see Superman racing,” Esquivel said. Dental assistant Nicky Dubbs was dressed as Supergirl in honor of the Lois Lane festivities, and preschool teacher Tammie Miles, who normally dresses

as Cyclone, came wearing Superman memorabilia to support the event. Both Miles and Dubbs said that they were honored to be involved in the femalefriendly superheroics. “As comic books have evolved with the times, so have all the characters — which is really important for the empowerment of women. Women can do anything a man can do,” Dubbs said. Dubbs and Miles also said that they were thrilled to meet Neill. “She was one of the very first strong women, ever. I’m very happy to support this today,” Dubbs said. This was a big event for the recentlyformed Justice League Arizona. The group is currently recruiting new members and plans to be in full swing by the end of the year. And in a short amount of time, they have already participated in hospital visits, fundraisers and food and blanket drives. “I think that children will always be drawn to a character that they know,” Miles said. “And we can use that to be a good influence on them.”

Exotic escape fires up Tucson Convention Center By Brandon Specktor ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

ireworks may be illegal in T-town this July, but that didn’t stop the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey from detonating their explosive circus monopoly in the Tucson Convention Center last weekend. If America is a melting pot of freaks and geeks, the three-ring, two-hour “Fully Charged” performance at the Greatest Show on Earth is pure patriotic fondue. On Sunday night I was “fully charged” $18 for a seat in the back of the stadium, but courtesy of the show’s 7:30 p.m. start time — the third show of a long day in an even longer weekend — I was able to move up to the third row with no resistance from the beleaguered squad of black-vested ushers. The awed audience members, no matter where they took their seats, were soon treated to a festival of popcorn-chomping escape. Ringmaster Brian Crawford Scott belted out stereotypically thematic lyrics (“Fire it up!” to introduce the Human Fuse, “Think big!” for the elephant regiment) and talked up his talented coworkers with smarmy bravado. The show’s top-billed clowning duo Vas and Stas (graduates of the Moscow School of Circus and Variety, which is a real thing) alternated between Laurel-andHardy -style buffoonery and jerky audience participation. Their most entertaining bit occurred at the beginning of the show when Vas strapped on an electric guitar and challenged the audience to a game of call and response with “Smoke on the Water.” When he changed the tune at the last second and tripped up the entire

The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey brought their “Fully Charged” performance to Tucson Convention Center on Sunday night.

crowd, all had to wonder who the real clowns were. Exotic animal trainer Tabayara Maluenda played up his Latino heritage, shouting “azuca!” while whipping a gauntlet of white and Bengal tigers onto their hind feet like broken ballerinas. A team of Asian elephants (followed closely by a team of shovel-wielding poo-wranglers) balanced gracefully on small podiums ringing the arena, and then balanced on each other ’s hindquarters. Brian Miser, the Human Fuse, was paraded into the ring on a giant crossbow, and then jettisoned across the stadium at 65 mph … on fire. The most daring performance occurred on the “wheel of steel,” a giant metal pendulum attached to a hamster-wheel-style cage swirling through the air. A lone, spandex-clad artist of near-death first ran in the cage, then on it, then jumped rope above it at the apex of the pendulum’s uncompromising arc. Despite a gasp-inducing stumble, he never fell from the deadly metal dynamo. From beginning to end, “Fully Charged” was a kinetic, curvy panorama in vibrant spandex, scented with strongman-thick nacho cheese and the subtlest whiff of violent death. As ringmaster Scott sang in the final parade of elephants, stiltwalkers and Chaplin-faced clowns, the glee in the performers’ faces rivaled that of the audience. Ultimately, the circus was exactly what it needed to be — spectacle for the sake of spectacle, distraction for the sake of distraction — and every child in the audience between the ages of eight months and 88 years left the TCC fully charged.

This week at the Rialto Theatre, ska-punk lives on. Two of the biggest names of the third-wave ska-punk revolution, Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto, are coming together for one night of big-band skanking. Now now, not like that. Skanking is the dance that rude boys and rude girls favor, a sort of running man, elbows-andknees amalgamation. You’ll see. Reel Big Fish has been on the scene since their self-released album

Everything Sucks in 1995. Since then, they’ve released more than a dozen albums and have gone through almost as many band members. But no matter who comes and goes, Reel Big Fish has always been a master of ska-punk, a genre that combines Jamaican roots with big-band sounds and American jazz. Streetlight Manifesto came onto the ska-punk scene in 2003. Hailing from New Brunswick, N.J., they won over crowds at Rutgers University with songs that would eventually become their first album, Everything

Goes Numb. Like Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto features a cast of band members that have frequently changed, but still retain their explosively energetic ska-punk sound. Both bands include a typical drums-guitarbass lineup combined with the big brass sounds of trombone, trumpet and the ever-so-ska saxophone.

This prevents your boss from accidentally stumbling upon your raging party photos, and more importantly, comes in handy for posting those statuses about you-know-who that you don’t want them to see. Finally, a more effective way of talking behind each other ’s backs in public. While these features are fairly promising, Google+ faces one big problem: Who wants to go through the process of tracking down all of your friends again? It will be hard to pull established Facebook users away from the pages that they’ve already put years (potentially) of effort into. In the end though, I know that I’ll be giving Google+ a shot once it goes public, and from the looks of things, I just might stay there. And regardless of whether it catches on or not, Google+ will definitely be good for one thing — competition. If Facebook wants to stay relevant in the face of this new site, Google+ may challenge them to be more innovative.

PAC-10 continued from page 12 4. 2001 men’s basketball The 2001 season was one with much higher expectations than Arizona dealt with during its 1997 run to a national championship. Arizona entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region, and dismissed Michigan State in the Final Four by 19 points. But No. 1 overall seed Duke proved to be too much for Arizona to handle in the championship game, handing Arizona an 82-72 loss. 5. 1998 football If not for a stumble against UCLA, the 1998 Arizona football team may have won the first football national championship in the school’s history. Arizona went 12-1 overall and 7-1 in conference, with the only loss coming at the hands of UCLA, 52-28. Arizona took down ASU in a 50-42 shootout, and beat Nebraska 23-20 in the Holiday Bowl. The defense featured cornerback Chris McAlister, who was taken in the first round by the Baltimore Ravens.

Top Pac-10 team

UCLA softball, 1988-1990 Overall, UCLA won 11 national titles during the Pac-10 era, and won three straight from 1988-1990. To go along with the 11 championships, UCLA finished second in the WCWS seven times. UCLA also produced a number of Olympian medalists during its time in the Pac-10, including Lisa Fernandez and Dot Richardson.

Top Arizona coaches

1. Mike Candrea Candrea has been the Arizona softball head coach since 1986. Since then, Candrea has coached eight national championship teams and earned four National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division I Coach of the Year awards. Candrea has won nine Pac-10 titles and 10 Pac-10 Coach of the Year awards, and the softball team has gone to the Women’s College World Series in 22 of the last 24 seasons, including eight straight championship game appearances from 1991 to 1998. 2. Frank Busch Busch was Arizona’s swimming and diving

head coach for 22 seasons and resigned in 2011 to become USA Swimming’s National Team director. Throughout his time at Arizona, the program flourished into a consistently successful entity, consistently producing the strongest teams and swimmers in the country. This year alone, the men’s team finished in fourth place and the women’s team finished in fifth place at the 2011 NCAA National Championships. Busch had a distinctive training program unlike any other Pac-10 school, not to mention his unbeatable relationship with his swimmers. 3. Lute Olson Olson led Arizona to its first Pac-10 title in 1986, just three years after his arrival in Tucson. In 1988, Arizona made the school’s first Final Four. Olson won four Pac-10 tournament championships and 11 regular-season Pac-10 championshps. His only national championship came in 1997, and his 2001 team lost in the championship game. Olson was a two-time national coach of the year, and seven-time Pac-10 coach of the year. 4. Rick LaRose In his 33rd year at Arizona, LaRose has turned the school into one of the nation’s top college golf programs. His teams have won 76 tournaments since 1978, and he has produced 11 Pac-10 players of the year, 66 All-Americans, and 103 All-Pac-10 performers. Coaching both the men’s and women’s teams, his teams have won two NCAA titles, seven NCAA regional championships and four Pac-10 titles. 5. Dave Rubio Rubio is approaching his 20th season as Arizona’s head volleyball coach. Throughout the last 10 seasons, Rubio has coached his teams to five Sweet 16s, four Elite Eights and to Arizona’s first-ever Final Four in 2001.

Top Pac-10 coach

Tara VanDerveer, Stanford, women’s basketball In her time at Stanford, VanDerveer has won 674 games, including 18 Pac-10 championships. She is a three-time national coach of the year, and 10-time Pac-10 coach of the year. VanDerveer holds a 22-2 all-time record in Pac-10 Tournament play, and served as the head coach of the U.S. Olympic Team in the 1996 games.

REMEMBERING THE PAC-10 A look back at the conference’s 34-year run

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

he Pacific 10 Conference officially became the Pacific 12 Conference on July 1, adding Utah and Colorado. Since ASU and Arizona joined the conference in 1978, the conference had played with 10 member schools. The Arizona Summer Wildcat takes a look at some of the top performers, memories and coaches during the Pac-10 era:

Top Arizona athletes

1. Jennie Finch, softball In her four years at Arizona and her time spent on the U.S. Olympic team, Finch became the face of softball. Finch was a three-time All-American at pitcher and first base, and set an NCAA record of 60 consecutive wins. In her junior season, Finch went 32-0. Finch led Arizona to a national championship in 2001, earning the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player honor. She led Team USA to a gold medal at the 2004 Olympics and a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic games. 2. Sean Elliott, basketball Elliott is the only player to have been named Pac-10 Player of the Year twice, and was a two-time consensus All-American selection. He also won the 1989 Wooden Award, given to the nation’s top player each season. When he left Arizona, he left as the conference’s all-time leading scorer, racking up 2,555 points during his career. Elliott also led Arizona to the school’s first Final Four in 1988. 3. Tedy Bruschi, football At Arizona, Bruschi was a two-time consensus All-American in 1994 and 1995. A defensive end, Bruschi was the winner of the 1995 Morris Trophy, given to the Pac10’s best defensive lineman, and tied the NCAA Division I-A sack record with 52 career sacks. In the NFL, Bruschi won three Super Bowls with the New England Patriots before his retirement prior to the 2009 season. Bruschi was named the 2005 Comeback Player of the Year after returning midseason following a mild stroke that occurred after the 2005 Pro Bowl. 4. Amanda Beard, swimming Beard won two silver medals and one gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games when she was 14 years old, making her the second-youngest Olympic medalist in American swimming history. Beard has won a total of seven medals in her Olympic career: two gold, four silver and one bronze medal. While swimming at Arizona, Beard captured an individual NCAA National Championship in 2001. Beard won gold at the 2004 Olympic games in the 200-meter breaststroke, and was named a co-captain of the US Olympic women’s swimming team for the 2008 games. Beard has earned the American Swimmer of the Year award twice. 5. Lorena Ochoa, women’s golf Ochoa was the NCAA Player of the Year in 2001 and 2002, finishing runner-up in the NCAA National Championships both years. Ochoa won the Pac-10 Women’s Golf Championships in 2001 on her way to being named Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, and first-team All-Pac-10 in 2001 and 2002. She set an NCAA record by winning the first seven events she entered her

sophomore season, and set the NCAA scoring record at 71.33 as a freshman, only to average 70.13 as a sophomore. Ochoa went on to win 27 times on the LPGA Tour.

Top Pac-10 athlete

Phil Mickelson, ASU, golf During his time at ASU, Mickelson won three Haskins Awards, given to most outstanding college golfer each season. In 1990, Mickelson won the U.S. Amateur title, making him the first left-hander to win the event. Mickelson was a three-time national champion and four-time All-American. He also won a PGA Tour event while still an amateur, the 1991 Northern Telecom Open held at Starr Pass Golf Club, and is still the last amateur to win a Tour event.

Top Arizona moments

1. Kerr goes off Four years after his father, Malcolm Kerr — president of American University of Beirut — was killed by Islamic terrorists in

early 1984, Steve Kerr and the Arizona basketball team headed to Tempe to battle ASU on Feb. 25, 1988. Kerr was met with chants of “Go back to Beirut,” and “Where’s your dad,” but the senior guard got the last laugh. Kerr scored 20 points in the first half en route to 22 points for the night, and Arizona took down ASU, 101-73. 2. Clean sweep In 2008, both the men’s and women’s swim teams brought a national championship back to Tucson. The women’s team won the school’s first swimming national championship on March 23, setting up the men for a chance at a dual national championship for the first time in the school’s history. The men also delivered on March 29, claiming the men’s national championship by 94 points over second-place Texas. The Arizona men dethroned Auburn, which had won five straight national championships at the time. 3. Lute shows the Devils the score In the 2004 version of the Duel in the Desert basketball game held in Tempe, Arizona held a huge late-game lead when a few Sun Devil students started taking jabs at Arizona coach Lute Olson and his late wife, Bobbi. Olson decided to take the heckling incident into his own hands, pointing at the scoreboard late in the game, reminding the ASU fans about the 93-74 beating that their team was taking. 4. It’s not over till it’s over On Nov. 21, 2009, Arizona got the closest that it’s been to the Rose Bowl since the school joined the Pac-10. Taking on Oregon, the Wildcats held a late game lead when some over-zealous students decided to start the partying a little early, and did it on the sidelines of Arizona Stadium. Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli led Oregon on a game-tying drive at the end of regulation, and the Ducks went on to win 44-41 in a double-overtime thriller. Oregon went on to lose to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, 26-17. 5. The collapse Taking on Illinois in the Elite Eight of the 2005 NCAA Tournament, Arizona seemed well on its way to the school’s third Final Four, leading the Fighting Illini by 15 with just four minutes to play. But the Illini went on a 20-5 run, sending the game to overtime, where they were able to outscore Arizona 10-9, sending Illinois to the Final Four with a one-point victory.

The band is on the field In November 1982, rivals Stanford and California were locking horns at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif. The Cardinal trailed 19-17 with eight seconds left in the fourth quarter, but was in field goal range thanks to a drive led by quarterback John Elway. Stanford connected on the field goal, taking a 20-19 lead with four seconds to play. But the Cardinal drew a celebration penalty after the kick, and was forced to kick off from the 25-yard-line instead of the 40-yard-line. After Cardinal kicker Mark Harmon squibbed the kickoff, the Golden Bears were able to connect on five laterals, but several Stanford players and the Stanford band had taken the field, thinking that the game was over. California’s Kevin Moen dodged and ran over several band members on his

way to a touchdown and a 25-20 California victory.

Top Arizona teams

1. 2001 softball The Mike Candrea-led 2001 Arizona softball team was a dominant one. The Wildcats won the Pac-10 championship for the first time since 1997, going 19-2 in conference, and advanced to the Women’s College World Series for the 14th straight year. But what they did in the WCWS is what puts this team on top of this list. Arizona won its first national championship since 1997, and its sixth overall. The roster featured Jennie Finch, who went 3-0 in the WCWS and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player.

2. 1997 men’s basketball Arizona’s improbable run in the 1997 basketball tournament ended in the school’s first, and only, basketball national championship. The Wildcats didn’t win a single game by double-digits in the tournament, and their biggest margin of victory was eight points against South Alabama in the opening round and North Carolina in the Final Four. Arizona won 84-79 in the championship game, and Miles Simon was named the tournament’s most outstanding player after scoring 22 points per game in the tournament. 3. 2008 swim and dive Both the men and women’s teams brought home the first-ever national title for each of their teams, and combined to win the first and only dual swimming national championship in school history. Annie Chandler, Ana Agy, Hailey Degolia and Lacey Nymeyer, comprising the women’s team, set an American and U.S. Open record in the 400-meter medley relay with a time of 3:29.06. On the men’s side, Cory Chitwood set a school record in the 200-meter backstroke with a time of 1:41.34. The men’s team won five events in the three-day competition, including the 400-meter medley relay and the 800-meter free relay. PAC-10, page 11
