SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899
Three students robbed on campus Mugging in parking garage is second such robbery this month By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT
A robbery occurred in a campus parking garage early Saturday morning. It was the second robbery to happen on campus this month. The robbery took place at about
3 a.m. in a parking garage near East Helen Street, according to a University of Arizona Police Department report. Three male students were walking through the garage when two Hispanic men who appeared to be in their 20s approached them. The suspects assaulted the victims and took their personal property. While no weapons were used or implied, one student sustained serious but not life threatening injuries, and was taken to a local hospital for
treatment. One assailant was described as having a muscular build with brown hair and tattoos on both arms. He wore a white tank top and jeans. The second man had brown hair, but the victims could not describe any other features. Both suspects fled on foot, and were last seen running north across Mabel Street. Although the robbery is the second one on campus in the last month, Sgt. Juan Alvarez, UAPD’s

public information officer, said there are no signs that it is connected to the one that happened at the beginning of March. “I do want to just remind the UA community … that the university is a safe place,” Alvarez said. “It’s just unfortunate that we’ve had two (robberies) this close together.” Alvarez advises students to exercise certain safety tips when walking at night, which include walking with others, walking in well-lit areas and
knowing where the blue light emergency phones are located. “It is sketch, but honestly I feel like I can handle myself, especially if I’m with one other friend,” said pre-business freshman Jamil Hijazi. “For a girl it’d be scary, I bet, but personally I’m kind of impartial to it.” Other students agreed, though they acknowledged that they take measures to reduce risks.

and his chest began to hurt, according to Ray. An Arizona spokesperson said the tightness may be stress-related. However, an electrocardiogram test given in the afternoon came back normal. “Apparently everything appears to be OK, but they’re just keeping him for a while,” Ray told the Daily Star. Whether or not Candrea will return right away is “undetermined right now,” the spokesperson said. The team will likely take the day off to regroup before it takes on San Diego State at home in a twogame series starting Tuesday. Even though the severity of Candrea’s condition is not yet known, the team has a tough week ahead with a three-game conference series at home against Stanford this coming weekend following the SDSU series.

Arizona head softball coach Mike Candrea left Sunday’s game against ASU in Tempe, Ariz., by ambulance after experiencing tightness in his chest during the third inning. Candrea, 56, was taken to the clubhouse before being taken off the premises to a hospital. Assistant coach Larry Ray stepped in and coached on the third base line for the remainder of the game. The Wildcats gave up their 6-0 lead over the Sun Devils shortly after Candrea’s departure from the game, and ultimately lost 7-6. “No one really talked about it,” junior first baseman Baillie Kirker told the Arizona Daily Star. “You’re worried about your coach. It’s a little bit mind-boggling.” Candrea began feeling weak
Birth control bill raises concerns By Stephanie Casanova
more “radical” since it was first proposed, he said. “I think it’s bad legislation,” Welsh said. “It’s very probably not constitutional.” State Rep. Debbie Lesko proposed HB 2625 in attempt to protect employers’ First Amendment right to freedom of religion. The bill states that employers who are religiously against contraceptives being used to prevent pregnancy can choose not to include contraceptives in the coverage they provide for their employees. Women who use contraceptives for reasons other than pregnancy prevention would have to sign a

A bill that would allow employers in Arizona to refuse to provide contraceptive coverage to their female employees may be unconstitutional, legal experts say. The bill, which could affect businesses that offer health insurance to employees, went under review last week in the state Senate because several legislators said the bill’s language was unclear. This is not the first time the language in House Bill 2625 has changed, according to William Welsh, retired UA professor from the School of Government and Public Policy. The wording has become

About 200 UA community members packaged meals at the third annual Bear Down Against Hunger event on Saturday. The event, sponsored by Stop Hunger Now, was created to help support school feeding programs in developing countries. Alex Nava, a religious studies professor, and Paul Wilson, an agriculture and resource economics professor, partnered to plan the event. The two professors have incorporated hunger studies into their curriculum in recent years.

argaret Wilch is no ordinary high school teacher. Twenty years ago, she decided to forego a typical lesson plan with her students at Tucson High Magnet School. Instead, she made them into researchers. Since then, her students have worked handin-hand with UA scientists and conducted research projects they created themselves. Her efforts paid off, as Wilch will receive an honorary doctorate from the UA’s College of Science this May. She cannot think of a higher honor for her work, she said. Wilch attended Cornell College in Iowa, where she received a bachelor’s degree in
