The UA Community for Human Rights group is advocating for the UA breaking its contract with Motorola because the group believes the company is violating United Nations human rights laws.

Human rights violations

UA group calls for President Shelton to sever UAPD-Motorola contract

By Jennifer Koehmstedt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT UA administrators are resisting a recommendation by UA students to terminate the university’s contract with the Motorola Corporation.

Students say the company is complicit in human rights violations because of contracts they have with the Israeli government, which is militarily occupying Palestinian lands.

In 1999, the University of Arizona Police Department entered into a $203,000 contract with the Motorola Corporation for radio and communication equipment. The contract is still active today.

Students from the UA Community for Human Rights, a student-led group working on issues related to university contractors and human rights, are asking UAPD to end their contract with Motorola. Students say the contract violates the UA Code of Conduct because of Motorola’s

alleged human rights violations.

“Motorola is very heavily invested in the Israeli occupation of Palestine,” said Hali Nurnberg, a member of the Community for Human Rights and sociology senior.

“They have all sorts of technologies being used with large civilian deaths.”

An article published in March 2009 by Human Rights Watch, an independent human rights monitoring group, said that the Motorola Corporation was involved in Israel’s drone production, which helps produce remote control aircrafts that can discern people from the ground. The drones used by the Israeli army can have a lethal blast radius of 33 to 66 feet.

According to the Human Rights Watch, Motorola’s connection was made public when pieces of metal shrapnel and circuit boards with Motorola serial numbers were found at the site of an attack on the Gaza City Police headquarters. The attack killed at least 40 cadets during a police academy graduation ceremony.

Student organizers say Motorola’s ties with civilian death are grounds for terminating the contract. They cite the UA’s policy on corporate relations, which states: “The name of the university should never be used to endorse any products or corporations whose products are instruments of destruction or known to cause harm to humans.”

After meeting with student organizers, the University Committee for Monitoring Labor and Human Rights Issues, a committee of faculty members which informs UA President Robert Shelton of human rights issues concerning the university, wrote a memorandum to UAPD Commander Robert Sommerfeld in December 2009.

“Based on compelling international evidence of Motorola’s wrong-doing, particularly in the Israel/Palestine arena, we are going to discuss our grave concerns over this contract and indicate to President Shelton that we are attempting to assess all relevant positions on this issue,” the

memorandum said.

Sommerfeld was contacted on Feb. 5, but refused an interview with the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

Sommerfeld contacted Andrew Silverman, a clinical professor in the College of Law and a faculty chair of the University Committee for Monitoring Labor and Human Rights Issues, about what UAPD should do about the Motorola situation. “(Sommerfeld) indicated that (cutting the contract) couldn’t be a unilateral decision on the part of UAPD because they were a part of a communication consortium, called the Pima County Radio Initiative, which is comprised of all public safety entities within Pima County,” said Silverman. “He said if he was presented with a vendor that would be compatible with Motorola’s service then maybe the consortium might allow UAPD to use them.”

New CEO looks to UMC’s future

By Rodney Haas ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT University Medical Center is facing tough economic challenges, but the new CEO, Kevin Burns, said layoffs are not an option.

“You don’t do this without good people, we have to support our staff,” Burns said. “To me, layoffs are not an option, we have to invest our way though this difficult economic climate.”

Burns took over for former UMC CEO Greg Pivirotto on Feb. 1, after Pivirotto retired.

“Greg was well-loved by all the staff. One of the things that I’m going to continue that Greg (Pivirotto) started is that he made rounds on the units several days a week, besides just walking around saying, ‘Hi, how are you doing?’” Burns said. “It’s a

formalized process started many years ago, and I think that’s one reason why the staff respected him is because he took a direct interest in what they do.”

Prior to becoming CEO, Burns spent the last eight years as UMC’s chief financial officer. Before that, he spent 17 years with the accounting firm Arthur Andersen, which specializes in health care.

“One reason why I came here was my respect for (Pivirotto), I know he runs an organization that is culture driven and quality driven,” said Burns, who earned an accounting degree from Arizona State University in 1981. “I would hold our culture up to anyone.”

In the last 10 years, UMC has become the only Level-I Trauma center for southern Arizona. UMC has also added the Diamond Children’s Medical Center and the

Higher education has to do “more with less,” according to Arizona Board of Regents President Ernest Calderón.

Calderón spoke at the Higher Education Colloquium on Thursday to discuss how higher education in Arizona will need to increase the number of graduates with less money.

“You generations who are here are the first generations in America whose children will earn less than you are. You are the first generations in American history whose children will be less educated than you are,” Calderón said.“We are at a crossroads in education.”

One strategy Calderón suggested was differentiated funding, which would mean campuses with high access, as in more accessible to more people, would have the lowest tuition, research campuses would have slightly higher tuition and the campuses that receive the most money for research would have the highest tuition.

By 2020, Calderón would like to have at least one regional university in every Arizona county.

Calderón said he has recommended a three-plus-one program.

This program would mean that a student’s first two years would be at a community college. The third year would still be at a community college, but it would be UA’s curriculum. The UA would determine if an instructor at the community college was qualified to teach UA curriculum. If the community college did not have an instructor that met UA’s qualifications, the community college would have to hire a UA instructor.

“We say congratulations, you’re admitted as a student of University of Arizona, but your first three years at the University of Arizona will be at Pima Community College or Mesa Community College, or wherever the need was to fill those places,” Calderón said.

The UA views the program as offering a degree program that is more adaptable to students’ needs.

“The increased flexibility for timebound and place-bound students arises from the fact that students can complete a larger percentage of their degree at the community college,” said Michael Proctor, the UA vice provost for Outreach and Global Initiatives.

“And perhaps save additional money by paying lower tuition for a larger number of credits and not having to move to the university (or to Tucson) until later in their academic career.”

Some thought the proposed strategies were flawed.

“Your plans suggest a lot of increased differentiation and expansion of access without a lot of new investment. To me that suggests that quality is going to drop, perhaps, and retention may suffer as a result,” said Brendan Cantwell, a UA postdoctoral research associate.

“So how do you intend to increase degree completion rates along with expanding access?”

“Let me ask you this question in response: How are we going to get that investment?” Calderón said.

According to Calderón, it is likely that some of the three-plus-one program will be in effect by this fall,

Do you prefer men with our without facial hair?

Without, for sure.

Why? Facial hair is weird.

What would you say if I had facial hair? Female facial hair.

I’d call you weird as well.

I think that having facial hair would show that I was dedicated to something.

And, it’s unique.

Well, I probably wouldn’t actually say it to you. I’d probably just think it. So, to your face, I’d say, “That shows that you’re unique and hard-working.”

But, underneath, you’d be thinking, “I’m going to buy this girl a razor and sneak up on her in her sleep and shave her face.”

No. I’d buy it for you and let you do it.

What would you do if I was really insulted when you gave me the razor?

I would pretend that I was giving it to you for your legs. I would hand it to you, not explain why I’m giving it to you and, if you showed offense, I’d say, “No, it’s for your legs!”

You’d have to brainwash me to make me shave my own face.

Maybe an intervention.

Maybe not brainwashing.

I’d get all your closest friends together to try to tell you that facial hair is the wrong way to go.

You’re so dedicated to fighting female facial hair. Would you go to these great lengths to make sure a guy that you were dating didn’t have facial hair?

Hmm. I don’t know.

Would you just tell him?

Yeah, but (I’d) try to be nice about it. I don’t want to be “that” girlfriend. I’d say, “Whoa. Your facial hair is freaky. Do something about it.”

But, what if he could hide things in it?

In that case, it might be kind of cool. It might be kind of useful.

You wouldn’t even have to carry a purse.

Or chapstick. I’d just be like, “Honey, I need to put my chapstick away.” Stick it in his beard. Then, it would be worth it. ­—Katie Gault

Activists: Whalers hurt by their own pepper spray

ADELAIDE, Australia — Japanese whalers who complained of injuries from rancid butter thrown at them by an antiwhaling group, were actually suffering from their own pepper spray attack, the protesters said Saturday.

Paul Watson, captain of the Sea Shepherd protest vessel Steve Irwin, said in a statement that video of Thursday’s incident showed wind blowing the spray into the faces of the Japanese crew who were aiming it at the activists.

The Japanese said Friday three crew members had eye and face injuries from butyric acid, produced from bottles of stinking rancid butter that the activists

sometimes aim at the ships. The activists maintain that butyric acid is nontoxic.

Watson said the Sea Shepherd video showed two of the Japanese crew on the deck of the Shonan Maru 2 wearing metal tanks on their backs. He said they aimed their nozzles and sprayed at the Sea Shepherd crew in an inflatable boat.

“However, the wind was not in favor of this Japanese tactic and the pepper spray is blown back into the faces of the three crew, who can be clearly seen rubbing their eyes. They appear to be suffering irritation to their eyes,” the statement said. “I think this video absolves Sea Shepherd of any

The injuries were the first to Japanese whalers this year during confrontations with Sea Shepherd, although there have been two ship collisions that each side blamed on the other.

GENEVA — Roman Polanski’s new film recently premiered in Berlin, and Swiss authorities have pledged not to extradite him to the U.S. as long as his appeal on the sex case was still being considered in Los Angeles, Calif.

Friday was a banner day for the director.

Compared to the last four months Polanski spent under arrest in Switzerland, it was a win-win for him.

Polanski could not walk the red carpet at the Berlin Film Festival Friday night for the debut of his movie “The Ghost Writer,” starring Ewan McGregor and Pierce Brosnan, because he is under house Roman Polarski arrest. But he was still the star of the party, feted by the movie’s actors, producer and screenplay writer.

And in a new twist to his long legal saga, the Swiss Justice Ministry declared it would make“no sense”to shift Polanski from house arrest at his Alpine chalet until U.S. courts ruled definitively that he must be sentenced in person to further jail time for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.

“When the question is still open, why should he be extradited?”

Rudolf Wyss, the ministry’s deputy director, told The Associated Press.“As long as the question is still open, our decision depends on that (outcome).”

“Even if we decide on extradition, he can still appeal.This would take many months,”Wyss added.

Polanski’s extradition is a complicated and diplomatically sensitive decision, as it deals with a three-decade-old case full of alleged wrongdoings by a Los Angeles judge, a confused sentencing procedure and the director’s own flight from justice.

There is also Polanski’s status as a cultural icon in France and Poland, where he holds dual citizenship, and his history as a Holocaust survivor whose first wife was brutally murdered by crazed followers of cult leader Charles Manson in California.

Loyola University law Professor Laurie Levenson, who has followed the case closely, said the next move appears to be up to Polanski, who has the option to waive extradition.

“The Swiss authorities want to know what Polanski’s sentence will be and the Los Angeles courts won’t tell them until he comes back. It’s a bit of a standoff.”

She said that Polanski can keep fighting extradition, but will remain under house arrest indefinitely.

“Mr. Polanski may be able to sit in his Swiss chalet forever,”she said.“But if he wants to get out he may have to come back and be sentenced by the California court even though he might get a sentence that would not have required him to come back in the first place. This is a chicken and egg problem.”

On the party circuit, it’s common to spot someone with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other, but many of these people don’t smoke unless they’re drinking.

UA anthropologists have started to peel back the layers behind this anomaly.

Their work has named a new phenomenon, called “party smoking,” which links alcohol and casual cigarette smoking among college students.

Mimi Nichter, associate anthropology professor, and Mark Nichter, a regents’ professor of anthropology, conducted a small study at the UA and a larger study at a Midwestern University. They found that while drinking, smoking became “cooler, acceptable and a valuable social tool.”

According to the study, party smoking is utilized as a tool for flirting and to provide alone time, for sober drivers to still feel social within a drinking environment, as a stimulant to counteract the depressant nature of alcohol and for both men and women to create an impression of mystery and to project a less uptight image of themselves to their peers.

Many party smokers do not consider themselves to be smokers, viewing it as “trashy” behavior. Usually they are shocked when confronted about the amount they smoke.

“People told me, ‘Look Mark, this isn’t who I am, this is just what I do at parties,’” Mark Nichter said.

This is a trend he finds very

Dial ‘D’ for Death: The UA and Motorola

S

ince the prestigious world monitoring group Human Rights Watch blew the whistle on the Motorola Corporation’s despicable role in Israel’s U.S.-backed assault on Gaza roughly a year ago, international opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been changing.

Sympathetic whirlwinds of international public opinion have been stirring to support the human rights of Palestinian civilians that were massacred — as well as the Israeli civilians endangered by their government’s cruel actions — in the military Gabriel Schivone operations deemed illegal by a United Nations factColumnist finding mission headed

by Jewish South African justice Richard Goldstone in September 2009.

The noble work of Human Rights Watch and other courageous groups around the world shows how institutions that profit from human suffering in Palestine are complicit in the crimes themselves. Such concern with human rights is brought home to the UA, considering the deadly, long-distance relationship we choose to have with companies which are illegally involved in the occupation of Palestine.

Transnational companies such as Motorola, and Caterpillar, for that matter, have no business contributing to violence. They must not interfere in the important work of the numerous health, human rights and humanitarian groups whose brave work on the ground is meant to ensure the health and safety of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.

But as long as companies like Motorola remain knowingly complicit in savage human rights crimes, we have no business dealing with them. Yet, shamefully, at the moment we are and have been dealing with them for ten years. The difference is that we, as a university, and as individuals that comprise it, cannot control what Motorola does. We can, however, control our relationship with them.

The right thing to do is clear and very simple. The UA must restore its former human rights principles. We must use the word “former” here because the principles embodied in our UA mission statement, “Policy on Corporate Relations,” and other various internal UA laws represent a promise that is not being fulfilled. There is a substantial gap between the promise that our university shouldn’t do business with corporations that profit from “products (that) are instruments of destruction or are known to cause harm to humans,” and the dreadful reality that we are doing just that.

The American poet and philosopher Henry David Thoreau wrote in 1849 to “cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight … If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would not be a violent and bloody measure, as it would be to pay them, and enable the State to commit violence and shed innocent blood."

In other words, to sever our financial or other ties with these companies is not such a“violent and bloody measure” as it is to retain them, and have the UA, and each of us, contribute to degradation of the human spirit and failure of our own humanity.

A view from other college editorials

Students’ Guide to the Loan Galaxy a good idea

Between budget cuts, tuition hikes and a crumbling economy, going to college is simply not as affordable as it used to be.

There are fewer venues for students to receive aid from, a fact which leads people to believe college is less accessible. But on Feb. 2, Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., aimed to help the situation by releasing The Resource Guide to Financial Aid — an online booklet that lists various types of financial aid available to students. It includes listings for grants, loans and

scholarships that college students may be unaware of. It also notes the importance of students paying attention to interest rates as well as other significant factors pertaining to their loans because, in the end, they will be the ones paying back the money. A lot of things at college may seem free since students don’t usually have to start paying back loans until years later. But high interest rates can seriously impact a student’s lifestyle after college.

It is important now more than ever to be aware of all the options for aid. Students should keep their futures in mind when

choosing to take out a loan. Contrary to how it may seem now, college is far from free, and it only gets more expensive as interest accrues. The more effort students and their parents put into choosing a loan and being conscientious about paying it back in a timely manner, the better off they will be in the future.

Forget guns — take away the ammo

n response to the Wildcat’s Feb. 3 story As the State Legislature considers a bill that “Campus gun laws concern ASUA,” a would allow UA teachers with concealed-carry reader named “FirearmsCoalition.org” permits to engage a shooter anywhere on claimed that individuals with concealed-carry campus, the enthusiasm to posit a workable permits “have a lower crime rate and a lower solution aims only to increase. incident of firearm accidents What the above comments than do the police. They also suggest is to counter fire with fire have a lower incidence of — to use both a bad pun and trite shooting the wrong person or metaphor. This solution does have hitting innocent bystanders.” one advantage: It demands rather The comment concludes, few resources. In Arizona, the “‘Guns don’t belong in Legislature need only to pass this Tom Knauer an academic setting’ is a bill, and those gun-possessing Columnist nonsensical … statement with teachers who don’t already have no basis in any sort of reality. Just because concealed-carry permits must obtain them. some people are ignorant and irrationally Fast and easy. fearful is no reason to force responsible Unfortunately, while appealing in theory, adults into a situation of helplessness.” this option will probably fail in practice.

At best, maybe, and only prevention of school violence.

of on-campus gun violence, not provide a questionable means of addressing them once begun. One could infer from the above scenario that publicizing teachers as a line of defense will scare straight any potential miscreant with access to an assault rifle.

Again, maybe. Research isn’t clear about whether the threat of retaliation from any source discourages shooters from action.

Studies have shown, however, that shooters typically have suffered from bullying and the inability to cope with major loss.

Crucially, “most attackers engaged in some behavior prior to the incident that caused others concern or indicated a need for help,” this according to a 2002 report from the Safe School Initiative, a project by the U.S. Secret Service and the U.S. Department of Education that analyzed 37 incidents of school violence in the United States from 1974-2000.

While the report covered attackers whose ages ranged from 11 to 21, most of whom used guns, the findings should be considered a useful starting ground for creating more thoughtful preventative measures.

For starters, Arizona legislators should bolster the state’s anti-bullying legislation.

Former Gov. Janet Napolitano signed a bill in 2005 requiring school districts to “create and enforce policies that prohibit bullying,” according to The Arizona Republic. On Feb. 1, Sen. Leah Landrum Taylor, D-Phoenix, introduced Arizona State Senate Bill 1374, which would expel K-12 students who committed three documented acts of bullying.

An intriguing alternative comes from Virginia, where 23-year-old Seung-Hui Cho killed 33 professors and students at Virginia Tech in 2007. The bill would make anyone who “engages in the bullying, harassment and intimidation of a student on school property, on a school bus or at a schoolsponsored activity … subject to punishment for assault and battery,” according to The Franklin News Post.

A second approach — detailed in the Hamilton Fish Institute’s 2007 report “Proceedings of Persistently Safe Schools” — is to ramp up mentoring and mental health resources. The former is especially worth noting, as it requires neither a wait on politicians nor the latter’s financial investment. Volunteering one’s time with a troubled youth can instill confidence and self-worth, and perhaps help to undo any psychological damage done by peers or tragic events.

Finally, ASUA Sen. Tyler Quillin and his colleagues should form a student-led antiviolence group. The Hamilton Fish report discussed the formation of such a group, nicknamed STOP, to train students from across the nation to take an active role in keeping their campuses safe.

It comes down to this: Those most worried about what may harm them the next time they come to campus should consider what more they can do to help.

Like his predecessor, Burns also has high hopes for the Arizona Cancer Center.

“That gives us enough area to have a very strong clinical campus that focuses on cancer care,” he said.

“We will certainly build that out. It’s possible in 10 to 20 years from now that you could have an even more expanded (facility).”

While the job of managing a major hospital in a growing metropolitan area can be a daunting challenge, it is one that Burns is ready to tackle.

“There are plenty of challenges, and I’m appreciative of my predecessor Greg (Pivirotto) asking me to accept this position, and I look forward to working with everyone here at UMC.”

The bottom line is that while condoms are not designed for sex in the shower, they can offer some measure of safety. Just how much depends on the conditions – but careful use can certainly offer more protection than none at all. If that doesn’t sound like good enough odds for you, opt instead for a drier environment and leave the shower to foreplay or postplay.

positive impact. There have been several UA athletic teams that have participated and are interested in participating in the near future.

“We generally get about 100 student athletes to volunteer. Some coaches have mandated it for their players, and some coaches have said they want their team as a whole to do it,” Goldman said.

Step Up! addresses issues like alcohol abuse, hazing, depression, sexual assault, relationship violence, eating disorders, discrimination and gambling.

The program has shown extremely positive results and has been well received by students.

“The idea is that we are hopefully teaching our students a foundation by which if they are going to intervene in any of those situations, they have a template to follow. On the Web site and in the training, there are very specific steps that they can take for each situation. There is also a general framework to approach each situation,” Bell said.

This program has been used frequently by Greek life, student affairs, athletics, campus health and violence prevention centers. It uses a unique, interactive style.

“It is not a lecture format,” Bell said.

First, because water can rinse away lubrication on the condom, make sure you have plenty of extra lube available. Silicone-based lubricants, in particular, are best suited for wet sex since they won’t be easily washed away. This can help keep things sufficiently slippery amidst an environment that can paradoxically dry things out fast. Next, try your best to keep water from getting underneath the condom at its base, since moisture there can increase the chances that it could fall off during sex, leaving you and your partner high and dry (figuratively speaking). Soap, shampoo and conditioner are all things that you will want to avoid as well, since they can break down and compromise the

“We used to think you had to smoke a certain number of cigarettes or be dependent on high levels, but we understand now that there’s new expressions of dependency … like intermittent smoking, and that’s a new pattern,” said Mimi Nichter.

“There’s this easy slippage from being a party smoker to being a more regular smoker,” she said. “That’s a message we want college students to get, that it’s not harm-free to be smoking a little bit.”

UA students have noticed similar patterns.

“People that don’t smoke do when they start drinking,”said Kelcy Bronson, an education freshman.

“When they’re drunk they don’t care about the effects anymore … I think if you asked them, they’d be like, ‘No, I’m not a smoker,’ but they

dangerous:“It’s not like alcohol really … cigarettes harm you every single time,” he said.

Mimi Nichter, who has studied adolescent and young adult smoking for years, also noticed there has been a rise in college-age students who started smoking. She noted that big changes and high stress times are often factors. These stressful situations include the first few weeks of freshman year, sophomore year when several students move out of the dorms and senior year before graduation.

“When organizations are looking to move to another state, they look to see if (the state) has a vibrant economy here, but they also look to see if they have a good education system here, do they have a strong infrastructure for health care,”Burns said.

While the state budget is a concern, the main worry Burns has is how to provide adequate health care for the growing population.

“We’ve actually talked about it in our strategic planning, that someday there will have to be another facility for patient care,” Burns said. “Will there be a new state-of-the-art UMC facility that either replaces this one or complements this facility? That is something that we’ve already started thinking about roughly, but

Despite the recognition, Burns will be facing some major challenges thanks to an executive order issued by Gov. Jan Brewer that cuts funding to graduate medical education for 2010.

The UMC will lose $8 to $9 million, according to Burns.

“Clearly the budget problems of the state of Arizona are an area of concern,” Burns said. “Not just what it does to UMC, but what it does to our colleges in academia at the UA. There are two large areas of infrastructure that the state must support, (one) is education and the other is heath care. We must have a good infrastructure if we want to train the next generation of doctors, nurses, engineers and mathematicians.”

“I certainly haven’t made up my mind,” said Shelton. “I’m gathering information … In terms of divesting, I also need to get some advice from council, and that’s always dangerous, about what you can do as a state entity or not. The Israeli lobby has been very powerful in this country for many years.”

Despite the administration’s response, student organizers remain hopeful.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Sky View Apartments at 1050 E. Eighth St. on Feb. 7 at 1:28 p.m. in reference to a room smelling of marijuana.

When the officer arrived to the apartment complex, he spoke with the community director, who said she was going over check out procedures with one of the residents when she noticed an odor of marijuana in the student’s room. She stated she also saw a bong in the room.

The three residents of the apartment were identified with Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut driver’s licenses. They each were asked if they knew why the officer was there, and they said they did.

When asked why they thought the officer was there, they all sat down, shrugged their shoulders and looked at one another.

One of the men looked at another and said that “it” was in his room.

After the officer asked what“it”was, the man claimed he did not know.

Another man told the officers that he thought they were there because the apartment “smelled like pot.”The three men said they did not know why the room smelled like pot though.

Two of the men allowed the officer to search their rooms, but the man who claimed“it”was in his room did not consent.

The community director told the officer that while she was in the man’s room, she saw what looked like a bong in a box on a shelf above his bed. It was a white box with two glass pipes coming out from the top.

Record checks were performed on all three men, and a warrant came back for the man who would not consent to the room search. He was placed under arrest and transported to the Pima County Jail.

All three men had a Code of Conduct referral sent to the Dean of Students.

Ex-roommate goes on theivery excursion

A theft was reported to UAPD at the Cochise Residence Hall on Feb. 8 at 8:46 p.m.

An officer responded to the dorm and met with two students who said video games and money were taken from their room.

“Madden 2010”and“Grand Theft Auto IV”were taken from one student and the other resident had $200 taken from a wallet kept in a lock box under his bed.

Both of the men thought that a former resident, who had moved out of the room two weeks prior, might have stolen the items because he still had a key to the room.

The officer called the former resident, who at first told the officer he had not stolen anything.

After the officer told the man that the residents only wanted their belongings back, he admitted to taking the video games, but not the money.

The man and the officer met at Ninth Street and Highland Avenue so he could return the games, and they spoke about the incident.

After some convincing, the man said that a non-UA friend had been with him in the room and taken the money from the lock-box after prying it open with a knife. He said there was only $60 in the wallet, not $200.

The man told the officer that the man who took the money would not meet with the officer, so he said he would withdraw the $60 from his checking account to pay back the stolen cash.

The officer and the former resident also agreed that $150 dollars would be paid by Mar. 25 for the cost of the damage on the wallet that the money had been in.

The Cochise residents were given Victim’s Rights forms and a Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students for the student responsible for the theft.

Lights out at Delta Tau

Let me go ahead and not answer your question. Instead, I’ll pose some more. Do you like hamburgers? (Vegetarians who are still with me, Redington Restaurant does offer an awesome portobello burger as well. All hope is not lost.) Do you like delicious burger toppings? How about endless burgers AND toppings? Ok, people reading this in class, wake up the sleeping guy next to you, and read this to him:

A member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity reported to UAPD that outside lamps had been broken on Feb. 8 at 12:18 a.m.

A man told police that lights on the south side of the fraternity house were cracked, and that glass panels had been broken.

He also told police that a similar incident happened last semester and that about two weeks prior to the most recent occurrence, light bulbs had been stolen from other lamp pillars.

The cost of the damage was unknown, and there are no suspects or witnesses. The vice president said the fraternity would like to press charges if the person(s) responsible were found.

Redington Restaurant is having endless burgers for a limited time. That’s right.

Pay $10, eat endless burgers with endless (and many many many) toppings.

The officer met with a UA custodian, who took the officer to where a resident was lying on her side near the entry. The custodian said that Tucson Fire Department paramedics were on their way.

The woman told the officer that she had been sick with strep throat since December and had spent the entire weekend in bed.

She had been leaving the dorm to go to an appointment at the Student Health Center when she became light-headed and decided to lie down because she thought she might faint.

TPD arrived to the scene and took her vitals. When she stood up her pulse dropped, and she got very light headed.The paramedics said that she would need to be taken to the University Medical Center emergency room for further evaluation.

‘We got what we deserved’ COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona freshman forward Derrick Williams looks on in shock after the team lost to Oregon State in McKale Center for the first time in 27 years on Saturday. Coming off of an impressive win against Oregon, the Wildcats lost momentum against the Beavers.

Oregon State ends Wildcats’ dominance in McKale Center

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For the first time in 27 years, the Oregon State Beavers walked out of McKale Center as victors, leaving the Arizona men’s basketball team’s 25-game NCAA tournament streak in limbo.

The Beavers, with their slow-itdown, grind-it-out style of play, controlled the game with a suffocating zone defense while completing their first season sweep of the Wildcats since 1983 in a 63-55 victory on Saturday night.

It would seem that Arizona (13-12, 7-6 Pacific 10 Conference) would have come out with an extra incentive after losing to the Beavers (11-13, 5-7) on a heartbreaking last-second shot in Corvallis, Ore., on Jan. 13, but the Wildcats for the most part showed no sense of urgency.

guard Momo Jones. “In a good game like this where he couldn’t find his stroke and didn’t necessarily play a good game, we all didn’t play a good game.”

The Wildcats struggled to shoot the ball, going 4-of-23 from the threepoint line, and were unable to get the ball to the inside. Freshman Derrick Williams had 13 points on 4-of-6 shooting, while his teammates weren’t able to get enough looks against the stringent Beavers’ zone defense.

Arizona’s inability to knock down the long ball allowed the Beavers to flourish in their style of play.

“We lost to a team that did a great job, full credit to them,” Miller said. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed at being a part of a team as I am right now.”

ock bottom.

That’s how Sean Miller described Saturday’s loss to Oregon State in a press conference more entertaining than the game itself.

For once, Miller strayed away from the program-oriented, forwardthinking approach and discussed his dissatisfaction, his feelings and his emotions.

“Twenty-three years of college basketball, and this is the rock bottom for me,” Miller said.“I’ve never felt this way after a loss.

“We got what we deserved.”

Wow. It’s hard to correlate Arizona’s pathetic effort on Saturday to the embarrassing losses against BYU at home (the worst defeat in McKale Center history) and at San Diego State earlier in the season. The Wildcats have already overcome growing pains by developing an identity, defining roles and relying upon more than just Nic Wise.

From a performance standpoint, the team on Saturday looked like it were playing in mid-November.

But effort-wise — giving up those backdoor passes and blowing defensive assignments — this was more than just a step backward.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been more disappointed,” Miller said.

Never?

“Never like this.”

The frustration was evident on the court, with emotions pouring out from the most unlikely of players.

’Cats rewrite story Six straight to on road with win start seasaon

Dail

Arizona softball’s 6-0 start to the season was a weight off the team’s shoulders after struggling in the Kajikawa Classics of years past. Despite room for improvement, it was a positive beginning for a team riding strong chemistry and fresh faces.

“Last few years we haven’t done well at that event,”said junior outfielder Brittany Lastrapes.

“It feels really good to get off to a good start.

I think our defense can tighten up a little bit, but our pitching did really well. We hit really well, especially when we needed to.”

The Wildcats dropped Western Michigan University 13-0 and Purdue 10-0 in their two Friday, run-rule shortened games in Tempe. They also defeated North Dakota State University 6-0, Nevada 10-5 and Cal State Fullerton 8-1 on Saturday and Sunday.

But the most interesting game came in a 4-3 victory against No. 17 Northwestern on Saturday.

With freshman ace Kenzie Fowler in the circle, the Wildcats needed a seventh-inning rally to overcome the other Wildcats out of Evanston, Ill. “Anytime you’re down, it’s great to see a team come back,” said assistant head coach Larry Ray. “The key is that we just didn’t give up, and that’s a good trait. We can build on that.”

Fowler gave up three earned runs against Northwestern, the only mars on her overall performance in a weekend where she went 4-0 with a 1.25 ERA, while recording 41 strikeouts.

To her rescue came the Arizona batters behind Lastrapes, who hit a walk-off single to bring two runners in and allow the Wildcats to walk-off with a win.

“I was a little bit nervous because I felt sort of responsible if we were going to lose,” Lastrapes said, acknowledging she had played poorly up to that point in the game.

“As soon as we got a couple people on base, I knew we were going to come back.”

While it was veterans Lini Koria and Lastrapes that led the Wildcats with a team-high eight RBIs through the first weekend of play, Ray was pleased with the performance of the freshmen thrown into starting positions.

Freshman Baillie Kirker took the reps at first base and hit a team-high two home runs while fellow freshmen Matte Haack and Brigette Del Ponte split time at third base. Haack tallied a grand slam in the first inning against Nevada Sunday while Del Ponte hit in four RBIs against NDSU on Saturday.

“They stepped up,” Koria, a sophomore, said of her young teammates. “That’s a good sign for all of us. They showed a lot of maturity out there.”

Also showing promise was senior pitcher Sarah Akamine, who saw her first serious action since recovering from off-season back surgery.

“Sarah’s a battler,” said Ray. “The last day was a struggle for her but she gave us enough innings to try and get through. We just need to keep her healthy and throwing the ball well enough to win games.”

Akamine earned a 2-0 start to her season, but found trouble against Nevada, where she went 3.2 innings before she was pulled for Fowler to finish off the Wolfpack. She gave up five runs in that contest, but two Arizona defensive errors didn’t help her cause.

Five total errors on the weekend were troubling outcomes for the Wildcats, but overall, the short road trip was a success.

“It’s kind of a typical first weekend,” Ray said.

“There were a lot of bright spots, but also a lot of things that we need to shore up. I just think as long as they continue to try and get better, we’re going to be OK.” ona

Ariz

Saturday’s game was a familiar situation with a not-so-familiar outcome.

In danger of falling into the bottom tier of the Pacific 10 Conference, the Arizona women’s basketball team salvaged its road trip by taking down Oregon State 60-55 on Saturday night.

The Wildcats (12-11, 6-7 Pac-10) bounced back after a loss to Oregon with a resilient win against the Beavers (9-14, 1-11) and put an end to their troubles on the road after losing their last four contests away from Tucson, dating back to Jan. 7.

Although a familiar headache returned for Arizona in getting out-rebounded 37-23 by Oregon State, head coach Niya Butts was just happy to escape Corvallis, Ore., with the win.

“To win on the road any place is tough,” Butts said. “So we’re going to take this one, and we will worry about everything we did wrong a little later on and enjoy this win.”

Arizona had difficulty igniting its offense early in the game as 12 firsthalf turnovers kept the Wildcats from finding a rhythm.

Junior Ify Ibekwe was held scoreless in the first 20 minutes, but sophomore Reiko Thomas picked up the slack for the Wildcats by netting nine first-half points to keep the deficit at 28-24 entering halftime.

It looked like Arizona’s offensive lulls would continue in the second half as they were unable to get anything started in the first eight minutes.

Trailing 43-34 with 11:46 remaining in the game, it seemed as if the Wildcats might concede and accept the loss on the road, but a 3-pointer by sophomore Brooke Jackson sent a pulse through the Arizona offense.

The trey began a 16-2 scoring run for the Wildcats, capped off with a jumper by junior Soana Lucet that gave Arizona a 50-45 lead with 4:54 left in the game.

“I thought we settled down a little bit offensively, and we started to execute a little bit better,” Butts said of the difference of play in the second half.“We were down a lot of the game, and our kids battled back, and we very easily could have folded.”

The last minutes of the game displayed marked improvement for this Wildcat team. There have been games this season where Arizona has held a comfortable lead over their opponent in the second half only to give it right back and lose the game.

Saturday was a different story, however. The Wildcats proved their mettle in the final minutes by taking care of one of the most fundamental aspects of the game — hitting free throws.

“To go 14 of 18 (from the free throw line) and make them down the stretch was huge tonight,” Butts said.

When the final whistle blew on Saturday night, instead of kicking themselves for coughing up a late lead, the Wildcats were able to celebrate and take a big step forward after hanging on to a hard-fought win on the road.

“It’s a huge win for us,”Butts said.“To start the second half of the conference 3-1 is a tremendous job for this team.”

By Derek Lawrence ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The latest chapter of the UA-ASU rivalry was a one-sided affair, with the Arizona swim and dive team leaving Tempe resoundingly victorious.

The No. 3 men and No. 2 women both finished their dual meet season with easy wins. The men prevailed 212-87, while the women won 196-102 at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center.

On the men’s side, many of the UA swimmers put on dominating performances. Senior co-captain Jordan Smith individually won both the 100-yard backstroke and 100y freestyle.

Smith also was part of the winning 400y free relay team.

“My swims were great for this time of the year,” Smith said. “I’ve been consistent with my times all season long, which is a good sign for the championship season.”

Sophomore Adam Small, a Tempe native, was part of the winning 400y free relay team earlier in the day and recorded a victory in the 50y freestyle with an impressive time of 20.66.

Former Sun Devil and now UA junior Marcus Titus returned to his old stomping grounds and finished in first place in the 100y breaststroke. The UA men had the top four finishers in the event.

The UA men also dominated the 500y freestyle as they finished with the top four finishers

in the event, led by sophomore A.J. Tipton.

Fresh off winning Pacific 10 Conference diver of the month for January, junior Ben Grado carried his success over into this month. He won the 3-meter event with a season-best score of 414.60.

Grado also finished second in the 1-meter event.

The women’s team also featured many great performances including those of sophomore Alyssa Anderson and senior Annie Chandler.

Anderson was victorious in the 200y freestyle, while Chandler won the 100y breaststroke.

The women are now 8-2 on the season in dual meet action, while the men finished with a perfect 7-0 record.

“It feels great knowing we’re undefeated going into conference and then onto the NCAA championships,” Smith said.

Both teams will prepare for the Pac-10 championships in Long Beach, Calif., but the real goal is down the road.

“Going to Pac-10s, I think we are going to see some really fast swimming from the team, but our focus is on the national championship,” Smith said. “And that’s where you’ll see everyone competing at their best.”

Smith and the rest of the UA men will be looking to capture their second national championship in three years.

“The team definitely has the same feeling we had in ’08 when we won a national championship,” he said.

For Gymcats, the devil’s in the details

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Tonight at The Hut $6 8:30pm 21+

The glass is still half full for the Gymcats.

Trying to improve after a disappointing performance against UCLA in their last competition, the No. 21 Gymcats (2-4) traveled to Oregon State and fell to the No.7 Beavers (5-0), 196.725-194.675.

“We definitely improved on the things we wanted to work on, the whole mental approach, and focusing and being competitive,” said head coach Bill Ryden.“I definitely feel like we regained a lot of what we lost in the previous meet.”

The improvement in the Gymcats overall performance, however, was not enough to prevent their second stright loss.

“We keep nickel and diming ourselves,” Ryden said. “That is going to come once we get some more experience. We’re on that cusp of going from good to great and trying to finish the little things.”

The rest of the team was on the same page as Ryden. Team leader and lone senior Sarah Tomczyk finally competed up to her standards after subpar performances in the last two meets. Tomczyk

HOOPS continued from page 7

received a 39.175 in the all-around.

“From here on out, we are just going to be working on the small details and hopefully we will get back to the 195-196 range that we should be at,” Tomczyk said. ”At this point, it’s not so much hitting the routine as much as it is taking care of the details.”

The bright spot of the meet was undeniably the return of Katie Matusik, who has been unable to compete this season because of a broken ankle.

Her arrival back on the competition field signaled another improvement for the Gymcats’ future.

Matusik exhibitioned in bars and beam at OSU, earning individual scores that did not count toward the final team score. The gradual transition helped her get back into the rhythm of competition and gain confidence coming off of her injury.

“I was a little bit nervous just because it has been awhile since I have competed,” Matusik said.“I just kept telling myself that once I get up there, it’s just going to be like I was competing yesterday. As soon as I got up there, it was just like I know what I’m doing, and my confidence came back.”

Second half run can’t continue 27 year run

Oregon State had dictated how the game was played. OSU senior guard Josh Tarver laid the ball in at the buzzer to give the Beavers a 26-20 lead at halftime.

In the second half, the Beavers came out right where they left off and extended their lead to a game-high 10 points with 16:42 remaining on a 3-pointer by junior guard Lathen Wallace.

The Wildcats eventually stormed back with a 3-pointer from the right wing from sophomore Kyle Fogg and a lay-up from freshman Kevin Parrom to make it 37-37 with 10:07 remaining.

At that point in the game, Arizona looked like a different team than it had been the entire game.

With the home crowd behind them, the momentum seemed to have shifted.

“When we made our run in the second half, it seemed like we had really turned it up,” Miller said.“To me, we were playing like you should play the whole game.”

Shortly after tying the game, the Wildcats’ defense allowed OSU to convert back door cut after back door cut and, at one point, gave the Beavers

three-and-ones twice in a row. Though the Wildcats had gotten back in the game, the defensive lapses prevented a late-game comeback.

“It was tough because we couldn’t put it together when we needed to on the defensive end,” Parrom said.“We got back-doored a couple times; they just wanted it more than us.”

One positive aspect of the game was forward Jamelle Horne, who finally played the way Miller hoped he would all season. The junior had 15 points and 14 rebounds to lead the way for the Wildcats.

“He had one of the best games he’s had since I’ve been here,” Miller said. “It was great to see him breakout, like I told (him) after the game, I hope this is sign of things to come.”

Arizona is now tied for fourth in the Pac-10 and has a week to prepare for ASU, which comes to McKale Center on Sunday.

“We have a full week to get back on the saddle,” Miller said.“We didn’t get the job done (Saturday) so hopefully eight days from now we can do a better job.”

Kearney strikes gold for US in women’s moguls

continued from page 7

WEST VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Four years ago, U.S. moguls skier Hannah Kearney sat in the stands in Turin after collapsing and placing a dismal 22nd in the qualifying round as Canadian Jenn Heil proudly climbed atop the podium for gold.

It was a moment Kearney never wanted to repeat.

She proved it Saturday, when she exorcised that nightmarish performance and spoiled the party for Heil with a dominating victory on slushy Cypress Mountain. Kearney turned her showdown with the defending Olympic champion into a blowout, posting a score of 26.63 to claim the first U.S. gold medal in Vancouver. She also postponed Canada’s long-awaited gold medal celebration for at least one more day.

Ohno ties Blair for most American Winter Games medals

VANCOUVER — Short-track speed skater Apolo Anton Ohno pulled out a silver in the 1,500-meter final to tie Bonnie Blair for most medals won by a U.S. Winter Olympian.

Boxed out by the South Koreans, with all hope of a medal appearing lost, Ohno could only count on the freakishness of short track to pull it out.

When two skaters ahead of him went

sliding into the padding, Ohno stuck his skate across the line and Olympic medal No. 6 was his.

Korea still got the gold, which went to Lee Jung-su, out front and out of the trouble that gobbled up his teammates.

But Ohno had no complaints about being the runner-up, especially when he was fourth with just a few meters to go. It didn’t hurt to see 19-year-old American teammate J.R. Celski right behind, taking bronze in his first major event since a gruesome crash at the U.S. trials.

U.S. women open hockey play with 12-1 rout of China

VANCOUVER — If you were hoping for a tight, tense, well-played hockey game, you left UBC Thunderbird Arena disappointed Sunday.

If you were hoping for a good, oldfashioned beat-down by the United States over an inferior opponent and a chance to wave the flag and chant “USA!” after a dozen goals, you got your money’s worth.

The Americans flexed their muscles before 5,278 spectators, including Vice President Joe Biden. Four-time Olympian Angela Ruggiero pounced on a loose puck and scored 2 minutes 50 seconds into the game, and the rout was on.

Frustrations, tempers run high

Wise’s didn’t.

Horne’s vocal presence was an attempt to get his teammates through a 20-point first-half performance.

With SportsCenter put-back dunks of his own, Horne let out screams and jawed out teammates in search of support.

He even punched the padding after a foul.

The frustration couldn’t be more obvious.

“Tough. It hurt us. I think everyone could tell,” said freshman Momo Jones.“If you’re a basketball fan or basketball journalist, whether the looks on our face or the no-looks on our face, beat down inside, it hurts.”

It’s easy to diagnose a performance from an offensive standpoint.

Arizona’s starting backcourt — Wise and Kyle Fogg — shot a combined 2-of-16 from the floor against Oregon State to finish the weekend 6-of-37.

But it’s not about the shots. Those will eventually fall in.

It’s the big-picture issue Miller hinted toward in a quote in which it was hard not to read between the lines.

“I’m not for everybody,” Miller said.

“As a coach, you … gotta’ have some guys playing your way going good or bad. I don’t want a guy playing our way just when we’re winning.”

On Valentine’s Day Eve, the third straight over-capacity crowd wanted to love the Wildcats. Fans have rooted all season for this team’s grassroots

upbringing and their nothing-everhanded-to-them swagger.

Not Saturday.

You could almost feel animosity between the coaches and the disconnected players.

Miller calling out his team for not completely buying into the system might just be a tactic he’s using to discipline his players.

“You only have so many bullets in your gun,” said Miller, coincidentally the current head coach of Gilbert Arenas’ college team.“I’ve used a few.”

And it won’t be the last if Sunday’s rivalry game against ASU doesn’t get the team to play with effort.

By Nathan Comerford ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The display of emotion from Arizona men’s tennis player Andres Carrasco was as if he had just won a major tournament, maybe even a tightly contested match against a top-ranked Pacific 10 Conference team.

Neither was the case on Friday, as the junior was merely celebrating a 9-7 doubles victory against New Mexico State with his partner, senior Andres Arango. As they finished their last point to take the second doubles court, Carrasco let loose a yell toward the sky.

That emotion was the x-factor this weekend.

“I never doubt their heart and emotion,” said head coach Tad Berkowitz. “That’s what got us through these: Heart and effort.”

Especially against a feisty No. 73 New Mexico State team, which gave the ITA’s No. 23-ranked Arizona (4-1) Wildcats their closest win of the season, 4-3.

On Friday, after winning two of the three doubles matches, the Wildcats inserted some drama in the day by not clinching the match until a win in the second-to-last singles match. In a match that could have gone either way, UA earned wins in the first three singles courts.

Arango upset ITA’s No. 56-ranked singles player Jim Brouleau 6-4, 6-4 on the first court. Rarely was there a point in which Arango looked like he was in trouble.

Sophomore Jason Zafiros, who is the ITA’s No. 113 ranked player in singles, moved down to the

SRC open to UA community Special membership pricing

No. 2 singles position for the team. There, he defeated Gustave Diep 6-4, 6-2. Carrasco also won on the third singles court over Matej Stakne, 6-4, 6-4.

On Sunday, UA showed those same qualities against a Cal Poly team that wouldn’t go down without a fight. UA again came out with the 4-3 victory.

The Wildcats started in a difficult hole against Cal Poly after losing the doubles point. The first court of senior Pat Metham and junior Borja Malo was the only court to earn a victory, 8-5.

“The main thing is that doubles and singles are two separate things,” Berkowitz said.“We just had to calm down, get our bearings and focus.”

And they need all of their focus, heart and effort. The only place where the majority of things seemed to go in Arizona’s favor was on court two, with Zafiros winning 6-4, 6-4.

In the end, though, Arango won 6-4, 7-5 on court one, Carrasco won on court three 6-4, 6-2 and junior Geoff Embry pulled out a close first set to win his match on court five, 7-6, 6-1.

With the numerous points, arguable calls and tough games that the men had to deal with on Sunday, they still showed why they’re a ranked team. Still, it wasn’t the easiest two wins the team has had.

“We didn’t dodge one, but two bullets this weekend,” Berkowitz said.

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona men’s tennis player Pat Methan returns the volley in Sunday’s match against California Polytechnic Institute. The Wildcats walked away with a 4-3 victory at LaNelle Robson Tennis Center on Sunday.

TENNIS continued from page 10

Women split matches in Texas, men coast at home

team quickly found that momentum can only go so far. But soon thereafter, they discovered the ability to forget is equally as important.

The Wildcats (6-1) began the weekend on Friday against Rice University with a 5-2 loss, giving the women their first loss of the season.

“They just played a better match,”said head coach Vicky Maes. “We fought hard, but they dominated in the doubles and relied on their consistency in the singles. I feel we could have played a little better, but playing indoors added an extra challenge that might have worked against us a little this time.”

Against Rice, UA lost four of the six singles matches with the only wins coming from freshman Alexandrina Naydenova over Ana Guzman 7-6, 1-6, 6-4 and sophomore Sarah Landsman coming from behind to defeat Julie Chao 1-6, 6-4, 6-2.

After the overall performance though, the team was determined to go out and get the win against Texas Tech on Saturday.

With the doubles point going to Arizona, the Wildcats proceeded to start singles somewhat slowly.

“Initially, almost everyone was 3-0 or 4-1 down in the first set of the singles,” Maes said.

At that point, things didn’t look good. But the women slowly battled back and ended up only dropping two of the singles matches.

UA sophomore Natasha Marks, ITA’s No. 46-ranked singles player, came back from dropping her first set to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-2. On court two, Landsman also posted a win with scores of 6-4, 6-2 and Naydenova earned her second win of the weekend on court three with set scores of 1-6, 6-4, 7-6.

Senior Claire Rietsch, in the fifth spot, also contributed to the five points for the Wildcats with a close 7-5, 7-6 victory.

“As a team, this was by far the closest battle we’ve had this year,”Maes said.“It turned out to be a great showing both mentally and physically for us and it proved that we can be resilient in tough situations.”

Pulling all nighters and eating mac and cheese is about to pay off.

If you’re graduating from college in the next 6 months, or graduated less than 24 months ago, VW will offer you up to $800 towards your first month’s payment* and other great benefits when you finance through Volkswagen credit. No credit history required. That makes getting behind the wheel of a Volkswagen a smart move.

But you already knew that Mr. College graduate.
