SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899
Regents name pick for president Temple University president is the only candidate nominated By Eliza Molk and Luke Money DAILY WILDCAT
The Arizona Board of Regents has named Temple University President Ann Weaver Hart, as the candidate to assume the UA presidency. Hart announced last September that she planned to leave Temple
effective June 30, according to a release from the university. Hart was also the president of the University of New Hampshire before becoming Temple University’s first female president in 2006. She would also be the first female president in the UA’s 126-year history. “She (Hart) brings a lot to this campus and to this great university we have,” said Dennis DeConcini, a regent and co-chair of the presidential search committee. The presidential candidate will
bring her “vast experiences” from Temple University to the UA, he said, which includes overseeing a Ann Weaver medical school, raising the uniHart versity’s endowUA presidental ment as well as candidate its graduation and student retention rates, developing $1.2 billion of new construction
and marketing intellectual property. As a former teacher and professor, Hart can also establish a credible relationship with the UA’s faculty, DeConcini said. “Personally, I am pleased that Dr. Hart has agreed to be the next leader of this great university,” wrote UA interim President Eugene Sander in a message to the campus community. “Academic leaders of her caliber make my term as your president a well-spent period of my career.” James Allen, president of the
Associated Students of the University of Arizona and a member of the search committee, said Hart was his first choice for the position. “Ann is an incredible student advocate because she was one of the few prospects that brought up students herself,” Allen said. “She made a point that the university system is for and by the students, and her commitment to diversity and access were huge for me.”

Charity helps patients tell stories Organization uses art to honor milestones for children with diseases By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT
The Diamond Children’s Medical Center has joined Beads of Courage to support patients diagnosed with cancer or other serious illnesses by providing them with colorful beads representing a milestone in their treatment. Each bead represents a difficult time in the patient’s illness, but also signifies an important step in the
treatment process. The beads are meaningful symbols of courage, honor, recognition, and accomplishment in the treatment process, said Jean Baruch, a UA nursing alumna and Beads of Courage founder. It is a way for the patients to show and tell their stories to others in the community, Baruch added. Lizzy Bell, a 17-year-old, was diagnosed with Diamond Blackfan anemia, a disease in which bone marrow does not make red blood
cells, when she was 6 weeks old. Bell lives off donated blood transfusions. “The hospital has always been a second home for me, but not the greatest home,” Bell said. “I am not a fan of it, but I have made it part of my life.” Bell has different beads, each telling a different story. This illness has become second nature, she said, and is a big aspect in her life, but has never allowed her life to revolve around it. Bell said she
plans to attend college and study photography. “Beads of Courage is a special program for me,” she added. “Without the program, it would be hard to live with my illness. The beads help me tell my story to others and provide a visual understanding to people to show how much I have been through.” The program’s misssion is to

Get out the condoms — 1 million packets of birth control pills were recalled last week due to a packaging error by the manufacturer that may render the medication useless. Pfizer, the pharmaceutical giant behind products like Viagra, Chapstick and Zoloft, announced on Jan. 31 that some Lo/Ovral-28 and Norgestrel and Ethinyl Estradiol tablets “could leave women without adequate contraception, and at risk for unintended pregnancy.” About 30 birth control packets contain the wrong number of either inactive or active pills, and the pills may be out of sequence, according to a public statement released by Pfizer. “This is like Willy Wonka, but in a bad way. Like, you don’t want to get the golden ticket,” said Ryan Arredondo, a business economics sophomore who said his older sister takes birth control pills. After a customer complained about a packaging issue late last year, Pfizer discovered that, due to a mechanical error, some birth control packs may have been assembled incorrectly, according to Grace Ann Arnold, director of global media relations at Pfizer Global Supply Communications. The cause of the error has been identified and corrected, but the company recommends that those taking the affected pills start using non-hormonal birth control and contact their doctors immediately, Arnold said in an emailed response. Most birth control packets include 21 tablets that contain active ingredients, as well as seven inactive tablets, or placebo pills. Using the pills incorrectly can diminish their

Chomsky backs No More Deaths By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT
Noam Chomsky, renowned intellectual and political activist, declared his support for the UA chapter of No Más Muertes/No More Deaths and its campaign against the UA’s business contracts with the Caterpillar (CAT) and Motorola corporations at a press conference on Tuesday. The organization has been pressuring the university for the past three years to terminate its relationship with the two companies on account of their involvement in military activities
in Palestine and Israel, according to the student organization. In March 2009, Human Rights Watch publicized that, by providing military technology like drones and bulldozers, Motorola and CAT assisted Israeli forces during the country’s Gaza invasion in 2008 and 2009, which resulted in 1,400 Palestinian deaths. UA No Más Muertes/No More Deaths claims that the companies’ products have also been used to commit human rights violations along the U.S./Mexico border. “There’s no question that all of this is illegal,” Chomsky
said. “It is the right, in fact the responsibility, of the students to publicize any possible violations committed by the UA in its corporate partnership with CAT and Motorola in order to expose U.S. crimes taking place in Israelioccupied Palestine and along the U.S./Mexico border,” Chomsky said in an advance statement. Motorola has been providing communication technology to the University of Arizona Police Department since 1999, and CAT took out a contract with the university concerning software in the

Allen also praised Hart’s understanding of the nature of the UA. “I thought she had all of the tangible paper accomplishments, but she also understood the UA’s culture in an incredible fashion, in a way we haven’t seen in the recent past,” he said. Wanda Howell, the chair of the UA Faculty Senate, said that, if she had her way, the faculty would have had the chance to speak with the top three or four candidates for the position. “It would have been nice for them (the top candidates) to visit campus and talk to us (the faculty) about what they see as important for the future of the UA,” she said. But, she said, this particular search committee did not intend to be transparent with the public. “It wasn’t my choice of process, but it is what it is,” she said. More than 100 individuals were considered as presidential “possibilities,” and more than
80 individuals were considered presidential “candidates,” with 36 percent of the candidates being minorities, including women, according to DeConcini. Once the regents narrowed down their decision to less than 12 candidates, he said, many of them did not want to be interviewed out of fear of losing their current jobs. Many individuals that were in the final candidate pool are sitting university presidents and would have been subject to public discourse if interviewed, DeConcini added. Dan Fitzgibbon, the board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association and member of the presidential search advisory committee, said ASA wants to ensure that it has a relationship with whoever steps into the role as UA president, as it did with both Sander and former President Robert Shelton. Fitzgibbon said he went out to different constituencies throughout campus to learn what UA stakeholders were looking for in the next president. “I want to share with her (Hart) the victories we’ve won,
“
She (Hart) brings a lot to this campus and to this great university we have.

the ones we’re planning to win and show her we’re interested in working together to better the circumstances for students at the UA,” he said. Hart will be in Tucson to meet with various campus groups on Feb. 13 and 14. This will be her first on-site campus visit. After that, the board will make its final decision on whether Hart will assume the UA presidency. The regents will vote on her candidacy and contract details during their meeting on Feb. 17, and if they vote in favor of her, she will officially become the UA president on July 1.

Check Your Boobies, a Seattlebased nonprofit organization that aims to educate women about breast cancer, visited campus early this week to educate sororities and health advocates. The UA is the first campus outside of Washington that Check Your Boobies has visited. “Our hope is that the women who attend our programs take this information and they bring it back to their aunts and their moms and their grandmas because those are the women who are at the highest risk,” said Kayla Driscoll, Check Your Boobies’ college outreach coordinator. The members of Gamma Phi Beta learned how to “check their boobies” at one of the organization’s six “parties” this week. But before learning about breast cancer risk factors and how to do self-breast exams, the girls heard Debra Minkove’s story. Minkove was one of nine survivors to share their stories. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in her early 30s, after finding a “grape-sized lump” on her left breast while on
DAILY WILDCAT With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, Campus Health Service is educating UA students about sexual health by bringing back SexTalk Week. Since the 1970s, under the name National Condom Week, SexTalk Week has been held annually by Campus Health with a list of events presented on campus to promote sexual responsibility. This year’s events began Monday and will continue until Friday. “We hope students will gain information and knowledge about safer sex, risk reduction, birth control options, condoms and the importance of getting tested and getting consent from their partner,” said Carrie Hardesty, health educator for the service. “Our goals of the week are to promote sexual responsibility and healthy relationships, reduce negative outcomes of sexual behavior and increase sexual health knowledge among the UA community.” Some of the events held so far include Sex at the Rec, where more than 300 students visited a Campus Health booth at the Student Recreation Center to get a free sex grab bag.

phrases that participants had to guess pertained to breast cancer risk factors such as environment, age and gender as well as smoking and drinking habits. Schaaf explained each factor after the members guessed correctly. Driscoll, Minkove and Schaaf intend to create a laid-back and informal environment for their audience to engage and have fun in, they said. “They had a very lively way of teaching us about the topic,” said Carly Halverson, a sophomore studying family studies and human development. “I’m someone who kind of has a short attention span, and I found myself listening and intrigued the entire time.” Check Your Boobies representatives also tabled on the UA Mall on Tuesday and met with the head of the Women’s Resource Center to learn about breast health education available on campus, and to possibly collaborate in educating young adults about breast cancer awareness. “We don’t really know what causes it (breast cancer), and we don’t know how to prevent it,” Schaaf said. But although it is impossible to prevent breast cancer, Check Your Boobies aims to educate people on how to reduce the risk of getting cancer and to detect lumps in breasts at an early stage.

a date. Minkove said her life seemed to flash before her, and that she was afraid to lose her life, her hair and her breasts. “Chemo lasted … like, eight months and I lost all of my hair everywhere, which was kind of nice not to shave, but then I was also like, ‘I’m bald!’” Minkove said. “But I invested in some really awesome wigs and, you know, rocked it.” Minkove’s role on the tour was to explain that breast cancer isn’t a “death sentence,” and to prove that being proactive will allow an individual with breast cancer to overcome their condition, according to Driscoll. Though the risk for breast cancer increases with age, Check Your Boobies targets college students in the hopes that they will share their knowledge and that they will get to know their body at an earlier age, making it easier to detect abnormalities later on. “We also find with college students you guys are so knowledgehungry and so interested and just want to learn it all, and so it’s kind of like you just soak it up like a sponge and … we’ve felt that it’s been a success,” Driscoll said. Kim Schaaf, breast health educator for Check Your Boobies, had the sorority members actively engage in learning with a game of charades. The words and

‘Made’ sees low turnout By Brittny Mejia Daily Wildcat
MTV’s “Made” held open auditions in the Cholla Room in Cactus Grill on Tuesday, but received a small turnout, most likely due to a lack of publicity, according to a show spokesman. “I think if we would have had some better promotion, we would have had, like, 50 kids,” said Jay Lyons, “Made” casting producer. Promoting the “Made” auditions is something he said that the show could work on. Lyons has visited about 15 colleges in the past two to three weeks, where the turnout averaged about 30 to 80 students, depending on the school, he said. At the UA, only a couple of students showed up to audition. In an attempt to promote the auditions, Lyons put up flyers around campus, but was then informed by university officials that there was a policy against taping them up. He removed them, but not before two students saw them and came to audition. “I saw a flyer before they took it down and I thought, ‘Oh crap, I need to go do that,’” said Amanda Thoss, a linguistics junior. Thoss said she has tried open auditions before, and keeps her eyes open for new opportunities. MTV’s “Made” focuses on helping teens, and now college students, pursue their goals and dreams, Lyons said. The show can help line them up with a coach, train and challenge them to
make them into their dream person. “I am a multi-instrumentalist musician and a rapper,” said Moss Worthington, a music junior, who also auditioned for “Made.” “I feel like I have something to say and something to offer to the music world.” Anyone can audition for the show, but producers said they are looking for those who are especially passionate about their dreams. “Some people come in and they’re like, ‘I want to be famous,’” Lyons said. “That’s not so great. It doesn’t really matter so much, the goal, but more what they are passionate about.” At each audition, Lyons asks students basic questions about their lives, their dreams and why they want to accomplish their goals. If students seem right for the show, Lyons pitches these students to “Made” representatives in New York. The most memorable experiences Lyons has with students, like Thoss and Worthington, are when they share their stories, he said. “I’m genuinely interested in what a person is saying,” Lyons said. “I’m not just going through the motions. I mean, everybody’s story matters, even if they are not going to be cast on the show.” Although the turnout was not high at the UA, Lyons said he hopes to hold auditions on campus again sometime in the future. However, next time, organizers will try and focus on a more targeted promotion, Lyons added.

editorial Presidential search lacked transparency
T
he Arizona Board of Regents announced its candidate to become the next UA president on Tuesday. Candidate, singular. Does this mean that there was only one applicant? That Ann Weaver Hart was so suited for the UA presidency that she rendered the entire process unnecessary? Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t know the answers to these questions. No one does, save the 23 members of the presidential search committee. Wanda Howell, the chair of the UA Faculty Senate, said this blatant lack of transparency wasn’t an unfortunate oversight, but a conscious choice by the search committee. “It would have been nice for them (the top candidates) to visit campus and talk to us (the faculty) about what they see as important for the future of the UA,” she said. “It wasn’t my choice of process, but it is what it is.” It would have been nice. But unfortunately, in today’s fast-paced rat-race world, it’s unreasonable to expect a lengthy, drawn-out process of selecting multiple candidates and having them visit the place where they might work and live. If only the search had been conducted during a time when such niceties were feasible — a time like 2006. During the UA’s last presidential search in 2006, the final four candidates visited campus for a weeklong series of public forums, a chance for each candidate to visit the university they might lead. The UA even took out a half-page ad in the Daily Wildcat advertising the time and place for each forum. This time around? Nothing. On Monday, UA Vice President for Research Leslie Tolbert and J.C. Mutchler, two members of the search committee, told the UA Faculty Senate that a candidate could be named within a week or two. It was the first meaningful, or at least public, news about the search since September. But a day later, congratulations were in order. Then again, this is all par for the course for the regents these days. Former UA President Robert Shelton departed suddenly in June to join the Fiesta Bowl, after, in the words of one regent, the board made it clear that it was not inclined to renew his expiring presidential contract. A month later? Pop goes the provost as Meredith Hay announced she was leaving to take an advisory position with the regents. And now? The UA has a new president. Hart has served as the president of two other universities thus far and, if selected, she will be the UA’s long overdue first female president. Perhaps she was the most qualified candidate, and perhaps she did blow the search committee away. James Allen, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said she was his “clear No. 1” choice to assume the presidency. But here’s the rub: The UA deserves to know who choice No. 2 was, and every choice after that. The UA deserves to know what each candidate’s vision for the UA was, and why Hart rose to the top. More than anything, the UA deserved transparency and openness throughout the selection process. And now the UA deserves to know why the search committee made a calculated effort to deny that. But if there’s one thing the UA is teaching its students (and its faculty members), it’s how little their input actually matters. At the end of the day, Hart will visit the UA, get her contract approved during the regents’ meeting on Feb. 17, and the members of the search committee will congratulate themselves on a job well done. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat editorial board and written by one of its members.

Pornography addiction can be prevented by more regulation Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat
A
merica’s favorite “X-Files” star, David Duchovny, checked himself into rehab for sex addiction in 2008. Duchovny’s breaking point came after wrapping the second season of “Californication,” his series on Showtime, in which he plays a sex-addicted writer. Many assume his fictional role began to pervade his reality. Perhaps his addiction was festering long before the show, and playing his character was a trigger. Regardless of why or how it happened, it’s hard to deny the power of sex and online pornography addiction. Internet porn dependency is an overlooked problem affecting millions of people, from children to adults.

In a 2008 study published in the American Behavioral Scientist, researchers indentified online pornography as a major sign for both sex addiction and Internet sex addiction. Other symptoms of online sex addiction include spending multiple hours in sex chat rooms, hiding online interactions from significant others and decreased satisfaction from real-life sexual partners, preferring online pornography over the hands-on experience. The study also points out that the Internet is accessible to almost anyone at any age, meaning it doesn’t discriminate when it sends racy spam emails — minors receive them too. Free pornography websites enable this disturbing reality, which should be a primary motive to get these sites regulated or shut down. Last week, the Daily Wildcat published an article on porn
addiction at the UA. The article took readers through a student’s battle with porn addiction and how he overcame it. He was 10 years old when he first viewed explicit photos through an email. Porn was once limited to magazines and videos, stored behind curtains in tiny, dark adult shops. This setup made it easier to monitor the purchase and viewing of porn, decreasing the likelihood of porn ending up in the hands or under the mattresses of minors. But with the rise of the Internet, porn became free and widely accessible. The Daily Wildcat article also noted a 2008 study conducted by a research group at Brigham Young University. The study stated that out of college-aged adults, 87 percent of men and 31 percent of women watch pornography. If the study holds true, along with the statistics from the UA Fact Book, then out of the 14,641 undergraduate men at the UA, approximately 12,738 watch porn. And out of the 15,951 undergraduate women, roughly 4,945 also view porn. Potentially more than 17,000 UA undergraduates might argue that watching porn isn’t going to harm anything. They’ll say it’s natural, stress-relieving or a common practice among their peers.
However, when casually viewing porn turns into continuously viewing porn, then you’re looking at the onset of a major problem. When porn begins to negatively impact your mental, physical and social health, then you have a major problem. This is all common sense. But the existence of free pornography websites is senseless. It’s naive to think pornography can be eradicated, especially on the Internet. The industry is too popular and too profitable. The government can, however, crack down on sites without filters or financial barriers that allow minors to access them instantaneously. As for the UA, porn isn’t illegal in Arizona, but viewing it in public is. The UA Main Library should call the police immediately if someone is viewing porn in the library, instead of only administering a warning. Precautions can be taken and limits can be set, but only if the authorities are willing to take the time to do so. — Kelly Hultgren is a junior studying journalism and communication.

POLICE BEAT By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT
Knock knock, who’s there?
Four male students were making noise outside of Likins Hall while dorm staff members were trying to have a meeting in one of the hall’s rooms on Wednesday night. One of the students was heavily intoxicated. He started banging on the door of the meeting room saying, “I want to come in, let me in!” The other students tried to pull him away, but he refused and started banging on the door again. A resident assistant called the police, and University of Arizona Police Department officers were able to locate the men. The three other students were told to leave and go back to their rooms. The man who had been banging on the door was pulled aside by the officers and asked if he had been drinking. The officers could smell alcohol on his breath. His eyes were bloodshot and he tilted when he walked. The man told officers, “I don’t want to talk to you, I want to talk with my lawyer. I am not answering any questions,” while slurring his speech. One of the officers asked for the man’s name, but he could not remember his name or his birthday. He was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail for minor in possession of alcohol in body and public disturbance.

UAPD officers went to the Student Recreation Center, where a student reported that her jewelry and a $20 bill had been stolen from her bag on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. The officers viewed the center’s security tapes, and saw that a nonUA student had sneaked into the center, stolen items from the woman’s locker room and sneaked out the back door by the pool. On the same day, another student called UAPD about a missing $20 bill from her purse at the Bear Down Gymnasium at 2:30. One witness said he or she saw the suspect enter the Hopi Lodge Residence Hall. Officers went to the dorm and located the suspect in the hallway. The non-student saw the officers and started walking in the opposite direction. Officers were able to stop her. The woman had the jewelry and money in her pockets. She also had a pink camera, which she had just stolen from the dorm. The woman said the items were hers, and that the footage was of her friends and not of her. She then told the officers that a door to one of the dorm rooms was open, and she had walked in and started grabbing items. She said she was unaware that this constituted theft. Officers asked RAs to look at the pictures on the camera to identify its owner. The camera, money and jewelry were successfully returned to their owners. The suspect was arrested for second-degree burglary and criminal trespassing. All of the victims said they wanted to press charges against her.

An Evening with Noam Chomsky: “Education for Whom and For What?” Noam Chomsky, a world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist, will be speaking at the UA. “An Evening with Noam Chomsky” will feature a talk on the state of higher education, followed by a question and answer session. Chomsky, who according to “The New York Times” is “arguably the most important intellectual alive” is credited with revolutionizing the field of linguistics by introducing the Chomsky hierarchy, generative grammar and the concept of a universal grammar, which underlies all human speech and is based in the innate structure of the mind/brain. Over the years, Chomsky has been a profoundly influential voice, lecturing widely and publishing numerous books on U.S. foreign policy, Mideast politics and related subjects. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the 7 p.m. lecture at Centennial Hall on Wednesday, February 8th.

Ansel Adams: The View from Here Perhaps no photographer’s work has enjoyed such popularity as Ansel Adams’s awe-inspiring views of the natural world. His early trips to the Yosemite wilderness in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s informed the stylistic approach that made him famous. These treks included not only the physical activities of hiking, camping, and mountain climbing, but also social, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual elements. With forty photographs and supporting documents from the Ansel Adams Archive, Ansel Adams: The View from Here explores the relationship between Adams’s magical photographs of the American landscape - both its panoramic vistas and its intimate details - and how he came to understand the importance of his natural environment. Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, Saturday & Sunday, 1pm – 4pm through March 4th at The Center for Creative Photography: 1030 North Olive Road.

58th Annual Tucson Gem and Mineral Shows For two weeks every winter, the world meets in Tucson as it becomes a bustling, international marketplace of buyers and sellers at the Tucson Gem, Mineral & Fossil Showcase. The “Gem Show” is much more than a single event at one location. Rather, there are thousands of participants and attendees at more than 40 sites around town. Dozens of shows take place at the same time - in giant white tents, at hotels and resorts and at exhibit halls. There’s something for everyone at the many open-tothe-public shows - from gold and diamonds to granite bookends and glass beads, and from fine specimens of dinosaur fossils to opals dug from the Australian Outback. View the following web page for specific dates, times, and locations of the Tucson gem and mineral shows:http://tucsongemandmineralshows. net/2012-tucson-gem-show.htm.

Orange trees can be found at various locations around the UA but the fruit from them isn’t ripe for the picking.
Campus oranges unappealing UA’s inedible orange trees add aesthetic, not nutritional, value By Cecelia Marshall Daily Wildcat
N
umerous orange trees add color and fragrance to campus. But before plucking a plump fruit from a low-hanging branch on the way to class, be warned that the fruit may upset your stomach. “Oh, dang! That is really sour,” said Jeremy Poedel, an art education junior, after he sampled an orange from one of the trees on campus. Poedel said he had wanted to try the oranges he saw on campus since his freshman year. When he finally did, the grayish color inside looked more like that of a lemon than any orange from a grocery store. Even though the orange trees are visually appealing, Poedel said it was
“the worst orange I’ve ever eaten in my life.” There are nine different species of citrus on campus, including key limes from East Asia, grapefruit from the Caribbean and kumquats. But Glenn Wright, cooperative extension specialist in citrus and date palms, said to be cautious if you eat one of the UA’s oranges. Though some of the species such as the eating orange and dwarf orange are edible, most are highly acidic. Wright said he certainly “wouldn’t pick one off the ground.” Wright said Tucson’s climate is generally too cold to grow citrus trees because some can’t survive the crisp early mornings and nights. The trees planted around campus are protected by extra heat given off by surrounding buildings, but the climate still affects their taste. Wright explained that warmer climates
&
make oranges sweeter. For this reason, students at Arizona State University’s Tempe campus are able to eat the oranges grown on their campus. In fact, ASU also practices sustainability by harvesting its citrus for marmalades and juice for restaurants on campus. Officials at the UA practice sustainability by grinding fallen pods from mesquite trees on campus into flour, which is used by Arizona Student Unions’ restaurants. But when it comes to citrus, it seems that our oranges are more decorative than practical. The orange trees help make the UA one of the most beautiful campuses in the country — but that’s pretty much their only purpose. So before biting into the fruit, you may want to remember Poedel’s experience and spare yourself from a sour stomach.
Q A Chomsky SeanShan peps up dance pop talks tuition, US education By K.C. Libman Daily Wildcat

Los Angeles is blowing up. Chalk it up to youthful unrest but it’s undeniable that there’s a sense of creativity in the area’s musicians that is more prevalent than ever. Acting as the geographic and musical foil to the Sunset Strip, East Hollywood’s Echo Park and Silver Lake neighborhoods are the host to this foray of fresh-faced musicians. With a musical movement comes variety, and there are few bands in the scene that embody this notion like dance quartet SeanShan. SeanShan’s sound is the derivation of an eclectic group of influences including Parliament, Of Montreal, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor. This list makes perfect sense once you’ve heard the band’s singles. Shaneira Jackson, SeanShan’s primary vocalist, provides the cornerstone of the group’s sound, channeling Tina Turner over skittering beats and funk-based bass lines. Songs like “It’s Time” and “We Got Soul” come across as smart interpretations of modern disco with full-bore dance appeal. This kind of sound rarely pigeonholes the band, as they’ve been well-received thus far. “The East side of L.A. is drenched with many different styles, so the chances of being the odd man out are not too likely,” said Sean Guerin, guitarist and vocalist for SeanShan. Guerin moonlights as a sound technician, which exposes him to the many facets of the Los Angeles scene, and also helps to find SeanShan kinship in other groups. “We are definitely more

‘dance-esque’ than most, but we love playing with bands who have their own style,” Guerin said. He’s not shy in giving credit to other forerunners of the East Los Angeles movement, either: “Yellow Alex and the Feelings, AV Club, Danger Friends USA!, and Janworm have really impressed me over this past year.” As fruitful as the Echo Park and Silver Lake regions are right now, Guerin has also seen a spread northward toward Burbank and southward toward Orange County. He said he’s heard rumors of venues opening up in Burbank, and Backside Records seems to have quite a few shows going on right now. “The Galaxy Theatre, in the OC, is the venue they added on to The Constellation Room, making it similar to the Echo/Echoplex. They seem to be grabbing a lot of LA bands down there,” Guerin said.
These expansions will likely open up opportunities around Southern California, allowing bands with sounds like SeanShan’s to showcase their talents to a wider spectrum of listeners. SeanShan’s audience appeal lies in the uniqueness of their sound. “It’s definitely more difficult for us to figure out our audience with our sound being so diverse, but our diverse sound also allows us to appeal to anyone looking for something different,” Guerin said. That ideal is also what allows SeanShan’s catalog to be so infectious. You can’t help but move when listening to them, which evokes a new hope for pop music. Whereas some Los Angeles bands try to inflect a sense of thoughtfulness or operate on an artistic agenda, SeanShan really just wants you to dance, and that’s a welcome change.

the rub here is that not everyone will need that turn’s benefit and some people will be especially hurt by the penalty. This adds a touch of chaos to an otherwise orderly game and has the potential to bring a player up from last place to first or knock leaders down a few pegs. Eventually players will clash with their armies, and combat is much simpler than in the game’s closest cousin, “Risk.” Players merely add up the value of their units and then pick a house card that both adds to that combat value and includes characters from the books. Some rules allow for chance, but normally the player with the higher value wins. The loser leaves the area, perhaps taking some casualties, and the winner stays. The whole thing sounds more complex than it really is, and its simplicity shines through in the end. The real pull of this game lies in how true it is to the series, namely in the fact that those who play it will plot and
scheme against each other as much as the characters in the book. It can turn the best of friends into temporary enemies and induce fits of rage. It’s also amazingly rewarding for those with a mind for strategy. It’s about as close as a player can get to leading actual medieval armies these days. It can take 10 minutes just to plan a turn, but watching plans succeed or fail can be extremely emotional, and that’s rare in a board game. Plus there’s unlimited bragging rights. The game is a little pricey, and comes with more than 100 individual pieces, but it’s still a worthwhile purchase if there’s a willing group of players. Unlike a video game, the replay value is infinite and each experience is different — no two games will ever be the same. — Jason Krell is the assistant copy chief.

Mayes’ injury opens up room at point guard By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat
The Arizona men’s basketball team was down to just seven players in the rotation after sophomore Jordin Mayes injured his left foot midway through the second half against California on Thursday. Head coach Sean Miller said on Tuesday he wasn’t sure when Mayes would return to the court for Arizona, although he is optimistic it will happen this season. “It could be as soon as two weeks and it could be as far as the Pac-12 Tournament,” Miller said. “We anticipate his not playing this weekend. It’s probably improbable. He’s in a boot right now.” Miller confirmed the guard did not break his foot, which some feared as the worstcase scenario last week, but said that the injury was caused due to the surgery Mayes had to repair his broken foot last summer.

Parrom had last week to repair his broken foot. Miller compared Mayes’ injury and return to dealing with a sprained ankle. “Jordin is relieved that his foot wasn’t broken,” Miller said. “He will not be at further risk, it’s just a matter of when his pain subsides.” In the meantime, Arizona will have to continue to rely on several key players throughout the games, including freshman Nick Johnson. “We’ve always played Nick, from the very first day of practice, as our third point guard,” Miller said. “He knows our system. It’s because of situations like this that it’s so pivotal.” The last time Johnson was put in this situation was Dec. 7, 2011, against Florida when fellow freshman Josiah Turner did not make the trip due to a one-game suspension. Against the Gators, Johnson went just 2-of-8 from the field, including 0-of-4 from beyond the arc, and had five turnovers. But Johnson said that he’s learned much more and has developed more confidence since the Florida game. “I’ve got 10 more college games under my belt and playing in those have helped me out a little bit,” Johnson said. The Wildcats have played 15 games since losing at Florida and although Johnson has struggled to maintain a double-figure performance, he has contributed quality minutes down the stretch for Arizona.

N
o coach in the Pac-12 Conference has had to deal with more this season than Sean Miller. And if Arizona’s third-year head honcho can sneak the men’s basketball team into the NCAA Tournament, he’ll deserve to take home Pac-12 Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season — the fact that Miller even has Arizona on the NCAA Tournament bubble and in a position to make a run at the conference title is flat-out remarkable. Before the season even began, Miller lost one of the country’s top players in Derrick Williams. Then point guard and fiery leader Momo Jones jettisoned to Iona. Without his two best players from the past season to lean on, Miller was forced to retool a team full of role players and freshmen in hopes that they could make it out of a conference ridden with parity — the fancy word for bad basketball. Then the pre-season challenges arose. Kevin Parrom, who was expected to be UA’s second- or third-best player, went through a trio of tragedies, leading Miller to put on his father hat and help the forward through struggles of epic proportions. While playing the role of mentor, Miller also had to play disciplinarian. Sidiki Johnson, who figured to be a big part of Arizona’s current and future plans, proved ill-equipped to meet the demands of UA basketball, leaving Miller no choice but to give Johnson the boot. After Miller dismissed Johnson, his highly touted freshman point guard needed a wake-up call. Josiah Turner couldn’t adjust to college life along with the demands of athletics, leading to two suspensions. Then there are the injuries. On top of coaching a 22-year-old kid through life-changing events, dismissing a player and molding a young point guard into a student-athlete, Miller had to change up his rotations due to injuries.

Former Arizona quarterback Nick Foles will likely be the first player from the UA selected in the NFL Draft.
Three former Arizona football players were invited to the NFL Scouting Combine Tuesday — quarterback Nick Foles, wide receiver Juron Criner and cornerback Trevin Wade, according to a list released by the NFL. The combine, which will take place from Feb. 22 through Feb. 28 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, brings top executives, coaches and player personnel departments from all 32 NFL teams together to evaluate the top college football players in the nation eligible for the upcoming draft, which will take place from April 26 to April 28. Of the three former Wildcats invited to the combine, Foles is widely considered the best NFL prospect. ESPN’s Scouts Inc. has him ranked as the No. 22 overall player available in the draft and the No. 4 quarterback behind Stanford’s Andrew Luck, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III and Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill. In his senior season at the UA, Foles threw for 4,334 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions with a 69.1 completion percentage. The 6-foot-5 quarterback finished with 10,068 career passing yards and 67 touchdowns after transferring to Arizona from Michigan State.
Criner, Arizona’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions, is ranked by CBS Sports as the No. 74 overall prospect and No. 9 wide receiver. Last season, Criner hauled in 75 catches, 956 yards and 11 touchdowns. In the Senior Bowl on Jan. 28, Criner and Foles played together on the South squad. In the game, the two continued their chemistry from their time at the UA with a 20-yard touchdown connection. Foles went 11-of-15 with 136 yards and a touchdown while Criner contributed 77 yards and a touchdown on eight catches. Wade, a 5-foot-11 defensive back, is considered a likely late-round draft pick, but his stock has risen over the last year thanks to his senior season. The Round Rock, Texas, native was selected to the All-Pac-12 Second Team after he recorded 50 tackles and two interceptions and deflected 13 passes. Wade is ranked the No. 30 cornerback in the draft by CBS Sports. Other former Wildcats who were not invited to the combine but have chances at getting picked up by a NFL team — either in the draft or as a free agent — include defensive back Rob Golden, running back Keola Antolin and outside linebacker Paul Vassallo. According to CBS Sports, Golden is the No. 35 ranked cornerback, Antolin the No. 30 running back and Vassallo the No. 43 ranked outside linebacker.
Maturity key to baseball’s success By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat
Two years ago, the Arizona baseball team started the season with a bevy of wide-eyed freshman starters who had never faced collegiate opposition. The Wildcats were one of the youngest squads that head coach Andy Lopez had used in his 10 years at Arizona, but his decision paid off, and the Wildcats clinched a postseason berth. Flash-forward to today, and seven of those starters will take the field on opening day Feb. 17, as juniors — poised, mature and ready to take on another campaign. “There are a lot of expectations this season,” preseason All-American pitcher Kurt Heyer said. “We’re one of the very few programs that have had a lot of freshmen come in and make an impact, there’s just a lot of things that we still need to work on.” Heyer inherited the coveted Friday starting pitcher spot his freshman year, and credits the amount of playing time he received for his quick development into one of the most dominant pitchers in the Pac-12 and the nation. “We didn’t really expect to, as freshmen, come out and start on a daily basis,” Heyer said. “But it was very fortunate to get that chance. Now we’re just keeping it going with the same mentality and the same goals as the last two years.” With consecutive postseason appearances, Lopez has heavily credited this core group of

players for Arizona’s success throughout the past two years. “It’s amazing when I look back to just three years ago when all those guys were coming in,” Lopez said. “Now here they’re all juniors and they’re all draft-eligible and I probably won’t see them after this year. I’ll probably lose them all as juniors. It’s been a good group. They’ve been
marvelous on and off the field.” The Wildcats will only have to replace starters at second base and catcher when the season begins, and Lopez has been trying to use the veteran experience of his team to develop the incoming freshman starters.

and Jordin Mayes out for one to three more weeks, Miller’s been forced into a seven-man rotation. He said on Tuesday that he might even have to play walk-ons Dondre Wise and Max Wiepking out of necessity against Colorado and Utah, which would have been unthinkable a year ago. Miller hasn’t exactly been flying first class since the season began. For the last six months he’s been stuck in the last row of coach next to the plus-sized woman and her three screaming babies all while the turbulence refused to let up. But take a look at the Pac-12 standings or Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology picks and you’ll see Arizona right in the thick of things. With two starting freshman guards, a 6-foot-7 center, a small forward playing power forward, a former role player as the so-called go-to guy and only two bench players, this team has no business winning the Pac-12 or making the tournament. But Miller is squeezing every ounce of potential out of this team. He’s molded the Wildcats into one of the better defensive
maturity from page 7
“I never have a captain designated because I tell them all that I want them to act like captains and walk like captains and be captains,” Lopez said. “But I told the junior core, before the season started, to grab some of the young guys and show them how it’s done here.”
Connecting with the Community
Despite the Wildcats’ solid season last year, it was hard for the club to draw a crowd, especially one with a student core.
teams in the country, which is always a direct reflection of the man in charge. Sure, Lorenzo Romar’s done a nice job with Washington, which sits in first place. But he has the luxury of five-star guard Tony Wroten, proven guards Terrence Ross and C.J. Wilcox and defensive anchor Aziz N’Diaye. Cal’s Mike Montgomery and his team are winning, but Miller bested the Golden Bears on Thursday with a team that has less than half the experience Cal does. Colorado’s Tad Boyle has to be in the discussion, but Boyle and the Buffaloes haven’t faced anywhere near the number of obstacles Miller’s Arizona team has this season. This isn’t a pity party for Arizona’s head coach — he makes a seven-figure salary for a reason. But to have a pieced-together Arizona squad in the conference race with a chance of playing in March shouldn’t go without notice. If Miller can keep control of the plane and land in an NCAA Tournament destination in March, a Pac-12 Coach of the Year trophy should be waiting for him at baggage claim. — Mike Schmitz is a marketing senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @WildcatHoops.
In an effort to bring the raucous ZonaZoo to Arizona baseball, the Wildcats will host an event this afternoon exclusively for UA students to get to know the program. A bus will pick up students from Old Main at 4:30 p.m. and take them to Hi Corbett Field, the new home of the program. The event is being called “Somewhere in America: Lopez Show,” and will involve players and coaches teaching chants and cheers to the students to perform throughout the season. Along with this, the Wildcats are also hosting a “Meet the Team Night” on Friday that will invite students and the Tucson community to Hi Corbett, where the team will sign autographs and give tours of the new facilities, including the redesigned clubhouse.

said. “People have got to step up.”
third point guard in practice is something the team has always prepared for, but never hoped they had to use. “It’s difficult for a freshman to learn two positions and we’ve asked him to do that from day one,” Miller said. Until Mayes can be cleared for practice, and eventually games, Johnson’s role will be critical for the Wildcats as they close in on the second half of Pac-12 Conference season. But it’s a challenge that Johnson said he’s ready for. “I always like to be out on the floor more and that means more time for me,” Johnson
Miller said that with limited players available for this weekend’s game against Colorado and Utah, walk-ons Dondre Wise and Max Wiepking could see playing time. Wise and Wiepking could be used to give regular players a break or to help out if players get in foul trouble. “It’s not like they’re going to play 40 minutes, but it wouldn’t surprise me if we would have to bring one of them in for a brief period of time,” Miller said.

BIRTH CONTROL
College of Engineering in 2004, according to UA No Más Muertes/ No More Deaths. The UA’s partnerships with the corporations were first publicized in a Daily Wildcat article in April of 2009. Since then, UA No Más Muertes/No More Deaths has begun a UA Company Boycott/ Divestment Campaign, which demands that the UA end its contracts with the companies. “We’re not sitting around and thinking about this life and death matter. We’re acting,” said Gabriel M. Schivone, a former Daily Wildcat writer who reported on the relationship. The UA maintains its ties to the corporations today, and President Eugene Sander did not respond to the organization’s invitation to Tuesday’s conference.
efficacy, according to Kim Birmingham, chief pharmacist at Campus Health Service. While it is impossible to know how many people on the UA campus have been impacted by the mistake, the Campus Health Service pharmacy does distribute, and is recalling, Lo/ Ovral-28, Birmingham said. The pharmacy received news of the recall earlier last month, before the public was aware of the issue. “At first I thought it was rather odd that it wasn’t out to the consumer level because of the way that the tablets supposedly were possibly out of line,” Birmingham said. Soon after the company issued the initial recall to its retailers, the FDA’s assessment of the situation required that the information be distributed to its consumers as well, according to Arnold.

something there to tell students it’s OK to talk about sex.” In the 2011 Health and Wellness Survey conducted by Campus Health, 79 percent of UA students are reported to have had one or no sexual partners in the last year, and when a person is sexually active, 77 percent of students used a condom. “Not everyone is having sex, but for those who choose to be sexually active, it is critical to know how to reduce your risks,” said Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventative Services. “We want to educate students on how to make sex safer.” Hardesty said these types of numbers provide more insight into the kind of sexual health and responsibilities practiced on campus and what Campus Health can

do to be a resource for safe sexual practices. “UA students, sexually active or not, need to have and should have accurate and comprehensive sex education information,” Hardesty said. “They can use this knowledge to protect themselves and their partners if and when they do decide to participate in any kind of sexual activity.” In addition to SexTalk Week, Campus Health provides yearlong services pertaining to sexual health and responsibility. This includes Health Promotion and Preventive Services, which offers sexual awareness programs yearround, and the Oasis Program, which provides counseling services to people who have been sexually assaulted and violenceprevention programs. “We are here as a resource for students,” Hamilton said. “People can always call the friendly health educator at Campus Health.”

“I think they (Pfizer) felt they had it (the situation) under control, but once it got out to the public, the media took control of it and just went crazy,” Birmingham said. “I don’t know if it’s as severe as the media is making it out to be.” Pfizer’s announcement follows an even larger birth control recall by Qualitest Products, Inc., which took eight brands, 1.4 million packages, of its oral contraceptives off the market in September of last year. About 11.2 million U.S. women aged 15 to 44 use birth control and 86 percent of them rely upon the medication to prevent pregnancy, according to a study conducted by the Guttmacher Institute in 2011. “It just shows how seriously we need to take women’s health as a country and make sure that the science is being accurate, because it’s putting people’s lives at risk,” said Olukemi Oso, a chemistry sophomore and chair of the media and marketing committee at F.O.R.C.E., an

provide supportive care for courageous children coping with serious illnesses. Each bead reflects a meaningful acknowledgment of a child’s treatment, Baruch said. The program supports those with chronic illnesses, cancer, hematological disorder, cystic fibrosis and kidney diseases. Upon enrollment, each child is given the Beads of Courage bead color guide. Their Beads of Courage process begins with each child spelling out their first name with beads. As they go through their treatment, each child is given a colorful bead representing a treatment milestone to add to their collection. Baruch said the program was designed to support and strengthen children and families coping with a serious illness. Each bead has its own unique

internship program at the Women’s Resource Center. “This just reminds us that they (drug manufacturers) are not necessarily looking out for women’s best interests. It is still a big pharmaceutical company,” she said. Despite the recall, Birmingham said she would continue to recommend birth control pills to patients. “I don’t think you can take an instance where they recall it and then turn that into where birth control pills don’t work properly,” she said. Still, others believe the
story. The black beads signify getting a needle shot, red beads represent transfusion, yellow beads are for overnight stay in a hospital and blue beads represent clinical visits. There are more than 24 different colored beads, each telling a different story in a patient’s life. Arianna West, 5, was diagnosed with a lifetime chronic condition, DiGeorge Syndrome. The disease is caused by a defect in the patient’s chromosomes, which results in poor body development. The program has been a tremendous help to Arianna, and has made it easier for her to go through with the illness, said her mother, Vanessa West. It’s a whole family experience and the program provides a way for each family member to deal with such situations, Vanessa West added. Sabina Sendek, 14, was diagnosed with a cardiac condition, which has resulted in three heart surgeries.

recall emphasizes the need for comprehensive sex education and serves as a warning to women who rely on oral contraceptives as their sole method of birth control. “Women put a lot of trust in terms of their physical health in the hands of pharmaceutical companies,” said Stephanie Smith, a VISTA leader at the UA Cooperative Extension. “I feel like women’s bodies have been a testing ground for hormone replacement therapy for about 40 years.”
For more info Birth control packets affected by the recall can be found on Pfizer’s website at www.pfizer.com. The company suggests that patients who have the recalled medication return it to their pharmacist or health care provider.
Sabina has collected more than 516 beads, each representing a milestone in her treatment. Sabina will compete in the second annual dance marathon in the Student Recreation Center to honor members in the community with such conditions, and will help raise awareness for those diagnosed with illnesses. Sabina also plans to inform other patients who don’t know about the program, Baruch said. Robert King, 14, was diagnosed with biliary atresia, which blocks tubes carrying liquid from the liver to the gallbladder. King had a liver transplant at the age of 7 months, and has collected more than 8,000 beads. The program has been a tremendous help, said Kristen Kidder, Robert’s mother. She added that the program has brought joy to the patients despite the painful treatment that they go through and has provided them with courage.
