UAccess rollout done, but changes coming

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UAccess’ initial rollout was slated to be finished at the end of last semester. Although the initial process is done, changes are still forthcoming.

Updates on the program for the new financial aid year include going live with Graduate College academic advising and working through post-go live issues, such as late fees and payment plans, which are all being altered to adapt students to the new system.

UAccess Student replaced

Matrix, the Degree Audit Reporting System, the Student Information System and both Student Link and Advisor Link as the new operating system for the UA. “There are committees looking at what needs to be changed,” said Kay Stevens Beasock, manager of organizational communications for the Mosaic Project, which oversees UAccess Student.

Reactions to campus concerns have yielded features like eligibility being visible to students when planning classes and a speedier enrollment time than with the older WebReg system.

At this point in the semester, there are no definite things being changed, Beasock said. But with the events of last week, things are falling behind.

Beasock, however, seemed upbeat about scheduling for students.

“Registration went very well,” she said.

Other movements for the Mosaic project rollout were continued status page development and scholarship interface and the December advisement report preparations for the colleges of Medicine, Law and Pharmacy.

The team also began work on

UA South tuition calculation for the 2011 fall semester.

Suellyn Hull, co-director of the Mosaic project, noted her excitement with how the overall project is working out, despite some glitches.

“For me, I am very proud of the Mosaic Student Team and all those in functional and academic areas, as well as University Information Technology Systems, who assisted in making the implementation a success,” Hull said.

Hull also expressed gratitude for the campus community for adapting to the new system and suggestions for creating a better interface

in which to work.

“We implemented the system in a ‘plain vanilla’ state and can now start to modify functionality to better meet the needs of our campus,” Hull said. “With the initial implementation period for the student project complete, Tom (Bourgeois) and I are rolling off the project back to our former departments. UAccess Student is now supported and maintained

by UITS (University Information Technology Systems).”

Marcia Chatalashas been made a director of the project moving forward, Hull said.

Arizona babies’ defects studied

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

More than 1,000 Arizona infants are born with birth defects every year.

An average of 1,018 infants per year were born with birth defects in the state of Arizona between 2003 and 2007, according to the Arizona Birth Defects Monitoring Program, a part of the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Common birth defects include cardiac defects, cleft lip palates and Down syndrome, said Dr. Timothy Flood, the medical director of the Bureau of Public Health Statistics at the Arizona Department of Health Services.

In general, the cause of most birth defects is unknown, he said.

“Some things are genetic, and then some things are related to our personal habits or environment,” he said.

Activities such as smoking and eating certain foods can contribute to whether or not a baby is born with a birth defect, Flood said. A good diet can lower the risk of certain birth defects, but some birth defects run in families.

In addition, obesity in pregnant mothers can sometimes increase the chances of having a baby with a birth defect. Obesity in the parent could increase the chances of the child being obese later in life, he said.

“We are concerned about that because the prevalence of obesity is increasing,” Flood said.

Age is also a contributor to babies born with birth defects. Teen mothers are at a higher risk for having babies with a condition called gastroschisis, Flood said.

“Gastroschisis is a defect where the intestines of the baby are born outside the baby’s body wall,” he said.

The consumption of alcohol is more common in pregnant mothers than one would ex-

Gun rights’ debate intensifies

By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

National and state lawmakers are rushing to pass gun-related legislation in the wake of Tucson’s Jan. 8 shooting , but differ on how they should respond.

U.S. Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., of New York’s 4th Congressional District , presented a new bill to Congress yesterday that, if enacted, would make the sale and transfer of high capacity magazines.

Shooting suspect Jared Loughner allegedly used a Glock 19 handgun with a similar extended magazine in the recent shooting.

High capacity magazines are ones that contain

more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

“I know what it’s like to have tragedy brought to your life in a split second by a madman with high capacity ammunition magazines,” McCarthy said in a press release. “I’m working to stop it from happening again.”

At least 22 members of the House have signed on to co-sponsor the bill.

The proposed legislation has brought some criticism from a campus political group.

“It’s bad legislation that goes against the Second Amendment,” said Trevor Laky, the president of the UA College Republicans and a philosophy and political science major. “You are going to prevent someone

from having an 18-round clip, so then they buy two guns, have 20 rounds now and can shoot the rounds faster.”

Tom Rompel of the local Black Weapons Armory gun store agreed that banning high capacity magazines does not solve the problems presented by the shooting.

“It’s a knee-jerk response,” Rompel said.

“It’s not going to deter crime but punish law abiding citizens.”

Meanwhile, Arizona state lawmakers are trying to advance efforts to pass a law making it legal for university faculty to carry concealed weapons on campus. This GUNS, page 2

Starbucks adds larger cup

By Mariah Davidson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Starbucks recently unveiled its newest creation, the “trenta,” meaning “30” in Italian. However Starbucks’ version of trenta is actually 31 fluid ounces of an iced beverage.

According to an employee at Paradise Café & Bakery, Megan Yeattes, Starbucks’ latest offering “is completely unnecessary.”

The 31-ounce concoction is reserved for iced teas and iced coffees and was released on Tuesday.

Megan Summers, a sophomore photography major, said she would consider drinking it, “depending on how much they charge for it.”

“It is a heart attack in a cup,” said Casey Willingham, a classics senior, who was sitting in Starbucks when she

was asked about the trenta. “I don’t think I can drink that much.”

A couple sitting outside of the Student Union Memorial Center, Rebecca Reed and Carl Miller, said that the new drink sounds like overkill.

“Starbucks is contributing to obesity in America,” said Miller, a history and psychology senior, Some students also expressed reservation about the potential caffeine content of such a beverage.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to get that wired,” said Greg Obregon, a math major.

Yeattes said that black coffee is good for you, however, with all the sugar they put in Starbucks drinks, the trenta will only make you “30 ounces fatter than you are now.”

The Starbucks in the student union declined to comment on the matter.

Students aiming to aid Haiti

Undergraduate engineers plan to study buildings after earthquake

By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat A group of graduate researchers went to Haiti right after last year’s earthquake to assess the damage, and a group of undergraduate students are hoping to revisit the island to assess how to stem repetitions of the aftermath.

“In the civilized world when there is an earthquake, a handful of people die,” said Robert B. Fleischman, associate professor in the UA Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. “But when a place like Haiti has an earthquake, hundreds of thousands of people die, and millions of people are affected for the next decade.”

Fleischman aided graduate students in applying for a National Science Foundation

Rapid Response Research grant right after the 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti in January of last year.

Rutherford & Chekene, a San Francisco earthquake-engineering firm, also aided UA students in the project.

More than a quarter of a million people died in the immediate aftermath, and another 300,000 sustained injury, many due to buildings constructed of poorly reinforced materials.

The first graduate researchers documented damaged but intact Port-Au-Prince buildings.

Creations of simulations of the buildings on computers are to be verified on their next visit, to create the freshest data set to aid Haitian rebuilding efforts.

“It’s all the students. The graduate students are doing all of the work, building computer models

of structures,” Fleischman said.

“What we are trying to do is see how well the computer simulations are doing in Haiti, and we can go and look at actual failures,” he said.

This kind of evaluation is critical to the construction of better buildings. But travel restrictions involving October’s cholera outbreak, beginning in the Artibonite Department of Haiti and claiming thousands of lives, as well as the return of Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier from French exile, have delayed a return visit.

“It’s unclear whether or not it’s going to be feasible,” Fleischman said of their six to eight month goal to return to the island.

Fleischman is working with the student group Engineers Without Borders, which has been to places like Mali building wells

and delivering water supplies and are now extending their efforts to Haiti.

“I’m personally interested in trying to get funded research in this area (earthquake engineering) for the future,” he said. The undergraduate project is in the developmental stages right now.

Their plans are to work with nongovernmental organizations and engineering firms in Haiti to build on the contacts forged in the UA’s first trip, such as mayors and community leaders. They are hoping to speak with communities and pick a place to work.

“These things don’t work without the community buyin,” he said. “You have to make sure you are meeting their needs and doing it in a culturally sensitive way.”

is the third time since 2008 that a law of this nature has been attempted.

Last year, a state law was passed allowing students and faculty with concealed carry permits to have a gun on campus in the trunks of their cars.

“The campus is a weapons-free zone,” said Sgt. Juan Alvarez of the University of Arizona Police Department.

“You need to have permission.”

Though Alvarez noted that guns are allowed in cars on campus, he declined to speculate on what impact the proposed legislation would have on the UA. Utah is the only state in the United States that expressly allows concealed weapons on college campuses.

“It wasn’t that big of a deal,” said Sam Hopkins, an employee at Black Weapons Armory and a former University of Utah student.

Hopkins said that he carried a gun to campus daily and knew some friends who did, too. It also wasn’t uncommon for professors to have guns as well.

“In practice, (nothing bad) ever happened, so it wasn’t a big deal,” Hopkins said.

Rompel described the UA as

a place that would need additional protection.

“If you wanted to commit a mass killing, where would you go? The place where guns aren’t allowed,” he said.

Arielle Ellis, UA pre-pharmacy senior, agreed with both Congress and state Legislature.

“It’s only fair for people to have the opportunity to defend themselves,” Ellis said.

But Ellis does view high capacity magazines as a little extreme.

“For civilians, it’s not necessarily a good idea,” she said.

Rompel also said, “When was the last time you heard of school shooting in Utah?”

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence ranks states based on their gun laws.

States were scored on five categories: the efforts they took to curb firearm trafficking, strengthening Brady background checks, protecting child safety, banning military style assault weapons and restricting guns in public places. Arizona scored two points in the last category and received a zero in all others.

Utah scored a zero on everything and was the only state to receive a zero. California ranked the highest with a 79 out of 100.

pect, he said. The ratio of pregnant mothers that drink heavily to the number of mothers that drink minimally has stayed constantly at a low level over the past few years. Drinking causes brain damage in newborn babies, but the effect of alcohol is not seen until a few years after birth, Flood said.

“Nonetheless, you know, it’s important that we pass the message that alcohol and preg-

nancy really don’t go together,” Flood said.

The Arizona Department of Health Services also partners with the UA to document how common the effects of alcohol are in babies, he said. The Arizona Pregnancy Riskline, a non-profit group based at the UA, aims to assist pregnant women with issues they may have, according to the College of Pharmacy website.

Flood supports folic awareness, as does Dee Quinn, who works with the Riskline and is a clinical lecturer at the UA. “For women who are planning a pregnancy, we suggest they supplement their diet with folic acid, found in over-thecounter vitamins. This reduces the chance the child will have a condition called spina bifida,” Quinn wrote in an email.

The riskline also provides

information to women on how the substances they use during pregnancy may affect their pregnancy.

The pregnancy riskline can be reached at 626-3410 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

College chases down criminal credit charges

An unknown person used a College of Architecture department credit card on two different websites on Dec. 16.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer reported to the College of Architecture to meet with a manager.

The manger wanted to report two fraudulent charges on the credit card. The manager was advised by Chase Bank, who placed a hold on two charges.

One was for “Vender US-WEB” and another for “Huddle-London.” The total charges attempted were around $330.

The charges were flagged by the bank as suspicious, so the charges did not go through and were cancelled.

The credit card was destroyed and the number deactivated.

Purse stolen from fraternity house

A student’s belongings went missing from Sigma Chi fraternity on Jan. 11 between 8 p.m. and 11:59 p.m.

On Jan. 13 a female UA student filed a police report stating that her purse was stolen.

The student said that she was at Sigma Chi on Jan. 11 and left her purse on the couch in the living room.

The student asked the residents of the house about the whereabouts of her belongings and no one knew what happened to her things.

The student’s Michael Kors purse, iPhone and digital camera were among the things stolen.

There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Woman’s wallet stolen during memorial service

A non UA-affiliated woman reported that her wallet was stolen from McKale Center after the “Together We Thrive” memorial service on Jan. 12.

The woman reported to police on Jan. 13 that she was missing her wallet after the service. She did not notice her missing wallet until leaving the event.

The woman was not allowed back into McKale Center to find her wallet for security reasons.

Since losing the wallet the night before, the woman’s bank reported that three fraudulent charges had been made.

There are no suspects in the theft.

“Do you want to tell me about the marijuana?”

A UAPD officer cited two male UA students and a San Francisco State University student at Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall at 7:55 p.m., for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

At 7:14 p.m., marijuana smoke was reportedly coming from one of the rooms in Kaibab.

The UAPD officer found the room where the smoke was coming from and asked the subjects if they had any idea why he was outside their room.

Both students denied any knowledge.

The officer asked, “Do you want to tell me about the marijuana?” One of the students told the officer that there was more marijuana in the room.

The officer asked one of the men to speak with him in the hall. He told the officer that he was visiting from out of town.

The man was a resident of California and told the officer that he knew it was illegal to smoke marijuana in Arizona.

The officer then interrogated the two UA students.

The officer found out that the marijuana was purchased from an unknown UA student and that the students were smoking with the vaporizer found in the room.

The officer confiscated the marijuana and vaporizer from the room.

The three were cited for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. All three were released upon their promise to appear in court.

10 mistakes not to make Caroline Nachazel ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

T

his year, 2011, may or may not be the last before the end of the world, so let’s make it a good one. Better yet, let’s not repeat embarrassing mistakes we made during the first semester of college (and, shamefully, all the semesters after that). Resolutions are just something to toast to, but there are some things in life that do not need to be repeated. The following 10 things are freshman mistakes. Avoid them, you’ll stay on top of that rock star lifestyle Lil Wayne continues to wheeze about: 10. Facebook updates: Let’s keep these to a daily maximum of one.

I know it’s tempting, but no one cares if you are “shopping with the besties!” One status should be enough to satisfy the need to update.

If you absolutely need to update on all aspects of your day, get a Twitter account.

9. Do not freak out. Whatever it is, your life is out of your control.

Ironic, yet true; how can you plan for forgetting to upload a ten-page paper on D2L worth 25 percent of your grade? Well, maybe you could plan for that one, but there is no point in wasting precious energy freaking out on the happenings of life. In the words of Tupac, “Everybody needs to chill.”

8. Do not eat at Panda Express more than once a day. Orange chicken, my mouth waters at the sound of it.

However, a couple hours after, the deep-fried deliciousness turns into regret. Enough said.

7. “How was your morning?:)”: do not text this to your one-night stand. This sounds thoughtful and slightly genuine, but no, it’s not cute.

It’s strange, considering you were just bedside with him or her. Onenight-stands are pretty basic, leave as covertly as possible to avoid the awkwardness and be friendly when run-ins occur.

6. Do not run from your cab driver.

All of us have been scammed by people who want to “share cabs” and end up not paying for their portion of the ride. This does not make it OK to tell the cab driver you are “getting cash” and then book it. They will chase you and you will end up over-drafting to pay for that running meter.

5. Do not share personal stories in large lectures. When the professor asks, “Who can give me an example?”

Do not tell all 200 people in your lecture class about how your exboyfriend is a heroin addict who stole your credit card to buy drugs while having another girlfriend at the same time. We all love awkward situations, but this is so personal it’s borderline psychotic.

4. Do not hook up with your teaching assistant. “Office hours” seems to be innuendo these days.

Do the papers, not the teaching assistants.

3. Do not miss an episode of “Jersey Shore.” Thursday nights, 10 p.m., clear your schedule. Go out or study afterward. Yes, this show is ridiculous and the people are heinous, but so entertaining. This hour of mindless television will do nothing but make you laugh and embrace your own Situation.

2. “Your body is a wonderland, can I be Alice?” No. If this line has worked for you, please contact me.

But for the most part, let’s leave the pick-up lines for the creepy men, older than 45 years of age, who hang out in bars nightly hoping to score with the drunk college girls.

1. Do not be afraid. This is not a quote from the Bible. Do not be afraid to have fun, cause a scene, go skydiving, play with a snake, use the Ouija board, dance on a table, whatever.

Life is too short, and our time here at UA is the best life has to offer. Corny?

Yes. But seriously, make spring 2011 memorable. If anything, you’ll have more stories to tell the grandkids.

Pediatricians: Deposed former Haitian dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier made his triumphant return from 25 years of French exile (the worst kind of exile) yesterday.

He was greeted by several thousand Haitians who remember his time as leader fondly. Today, he made his equally triumphant return (to some) to court, where a hearing will be held to decide whether to arrest him for allegedly siphoning money from the Haitian treasury and committing countless human rights violations.

I don’t think I’m alone in saying this man should have his medical license revoked immediately. Won’t somebody think of the children?!

p u g n i d Tren Pence for your thoughts?: A new political organization called the “America’s President Committee” has been formed to attempt to convince Indiana Republican Rep. Mike Pence to run for president in 2012 because “(g)rassroots conservatives, Republicans, the Tea Party and populists are looking for a man or woman of principle who can champion and unite the newly energized and engaged citizenry,” the group wrote in a statement. That’s all well and good, but there’s just one question. Who is Mike Pence?

Hipster apathy: Even the most non-poser of all the legions of skinny jean-clad, unkempt scruff-sporting, bad music-loving that populate the UA had to hold their breath when news broke that Apple CEO Steve Jobs is taken a temporary medical leave of absence from day-to-day operations of the company. Because without his black turtleneck and constant verbal abuse, there’s just no way they can justify paying exorbitant amounts of money so they can look smug using a laptop that is basically just a glorified coaster for their equally overpriced coffee beverages.

Men on the dead man’s chest: Beware ye landlubbers! 2010 was the worst year on record for acts of piracy committed on the high seas. According to a report from the International Chamber of Commerce’s International Maritime Bureau, pirates captured 1,181 sailors aboard 53 ships, and a total of 445 pirate attacks were reported last year. Either way ye slice it, that be a lot o’ doubloons for when they make port. Lashings of ginger beer for everyone! That’s what pirates drink, right? Ginger beer?

And You’ll Have Money Left Over To Buy These Essentials: Jacqueline Charles/MCT

Heavily armed Haitian police officers arrive at the Karibe hotel in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Tuesday, where former dictator Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier remained holed up.

‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier taken into custody in Haiti McClatchy Tribune MIAMI — Haitian police took ex-dictator Jean-Claude Duvalier out of a hotel and into custody Tuesday soon after noon.

The former despot known as “Baby Doc” was led through the posh Karibe Hotel in Petionville by a contingent of heavily armed police. He did not say anything as he was escorted through the back of the hotel, but his companion laughed when asked if Duvalier was being arrested.

A person familiar with the case said that Duvalier had been arrested, but what charges he would be facing remained unclear.

Haitian attorney Gervais Charles, who had represented Duvalier in the past, called the arrest “a scandal.”

Judge Gabriel Ambroise and Haitian attorney Reynold Georges arrived at the hotel about 10:30 a.m., as Haitian police officers were asked to secure the premises, and a helicopter could be heard buzzing overhead.

On Monday, Duvalier was receiving visits from the secret police that once terrorized the country and fueling fears that his return will deepen a political crisis from disputed presidential elections.

The visit caused foreign governments to scramble. Canada and the United States denounced his return, with Canada releasing a terse statement referring to Duvalier

as a “dictator.”

Meanwhile, the French denied suggestions that it was complicit in his arrival from France, where he has lived since he fled into exile amid a popular revolt 25 years ago.

“This was no plot. We did not know he was coming,” French Ambassador Didier LeBret said, adding that he only learned about Duvalier’s intended visit after he boarded an Air France flight from Guadeloupe.

He immediately notified Haiti’s foreign affairs minister and prime minister, he said. “He’s not a focal point of the French government,” Le-Bret said. “He’s a simple French citizen. He’s allowed to do what he wants to do.”

The Obama administration expressed concern and worry that Duvalier’s sudden appearance could have “an unpredictable impact” on Haiti’s delicate political state.

Haiti’s government, meanwhile, sought to downplay Duvalier ’s presence and its impact on the country as it wrestles with who will replace President Rene Preval as he nears the end of his five-year presidential term.

The government announced that a controversial report on the presidential elections will officially be handed over to the Provisional Electoral Council, which will determine which candidates among the three front-runners should advance to a runoff.

Take me to the candy shop

Orlen memorial to honor poetry, teaching

Shoppers peruse the wide assortment of candies on Monday in the new Campus Candy located on University Boulevard.

“Steve, you will be sorely missed. We will carry your words with us. Poet, Teacher, Friend, 1942-2010.”

These words, posted on the UA Poetry Center’s website, are a touching reminder of the life of the UA’s Steve Orlen. He is remembered not only for his work but for the many people he inspired as a professor and friend.

In honor of Orlen’s life and his poetry, the UA Poetry Center is hosting a memorial service, “A Tribute to Steve Orlen,” this Saturday, Jan. 22 from 3 – 5 p.m.

Cybele Knowles, the program coordinator for the UA Poetry Center, said that at the event, “Steve’s friends, colleagues and former students will share remembrances and read poems.”

While planning the tribute, the Poetry Center welcomed contributions from anyone who wanted to share their thoughts about Orlen to make the event personal and filled with loving memories. Submissions include anecdotes, letters and poems.

Since Orlen taught poetry at the UA for more than 30 years, the UA MFA program in creative writing is also involved in planning and hosting the memorial. “There will be a screening of a short video, filmed at the end of last semester, of additional remembrances by friends and students,” Knowles said.

This is sure to be an emotional event, but the tribute will bring Orlen’s students, colleagues and friends together to celebrate his life. In addition to offering reminiscences, they will raise a toast to his memory.

The tribute is free and open to the public. Free public parking will be available in the Zone 1 spaces and lots that surround the Poetry Center.

Marianne Dissard gears up to go global

Marianne Dissard was born in a small town in southwestern France but has come to call Tucson home. This weekend, the French crooner will regale her new home with a jampacked album release party for her newest work, L’Abandon.

“To me, it’s an ambitious album,” Dissard said. “The first one I’m producing; the first album where I feel in control of what I want to say, how I say it and the people I say it with.”

Dissard, who came to Tucson as a filmmaker in 1994, has been getting more and more involved in music ever since she arrived.

“I slowly turned into a singer through the influence of the Tucson music scene and the gentle prodding of some of the musicians here,” Dissard said.

Dissard’s music, especially in L’Abandon, an album sung almost completely in French, has an uncanny way of synthesizing a large number of aesthetic musical backgrounds.

“I see it as a gift to be able to talk about Tucson to the outside world and send CDs out into the world, saying this is how I’d like to imagine Tucson: as a place where cultural identities get churned into something that’s hopefully positive and beautiful. It’s like a great lab,” Dissard said.

But there’s something about her music that’s very French.

Dissard sees this as a blending of the two identities, French and Tucsonan.

“I sing in French. It’s very important to me,” Dissard said.

“And this album is very, very steeped in European culture. It was conceived in Europe. It has that perspective.”

But at the same time, Dissard said the album expresses ideas that are universal.

She described the first track, “La Peau Du Lait,” as a political conversation about France, though it is tied to themes that resonate in the U.S. “The first track talks about DISSARD, page 9

UA sophomore gets hands-on Cello prof shares skills with curatorial debut outside the classroom

By Miranda Butler Arizona Daily Wildcat It’s a pretty cool gig for your second year of college.

This month, UA sophomore Emma Kleiner is overseeing her first project as a curator of art. Her debut exhibit is a series of 10 surrealist prints by German artist Max Klinger, entitled “Max Klinger: The Glove.”

Kleiner, who studies English, history and art history, is a curatorial intern for the UA Museum of Art. She has been working under the supervision of Lauren Rabb, the museum’s head curator, since August. “It basically means that I help out with research, and Lauren let me design this exhibit,” Kleiner said. She has also helped set up other exhibits in the museum. “It’s a lot of fun,” Kleiner added.

Last semester, Kleiner and Rabb were interested in featuring an exhibition of prints. Kleiner found one of Max Klinger ’s pieces and then discovered that there was an entire series of the works. “Once we saw all of these prints together, we both thought that it would make a great exhibition. It’s a really wonderful story. It’s very bizarre and kind of eerie, but I think that it really connects to audiences,” Kleiner said.

The prints themselves work almost like a comic strip. Ten separate images follow a sequence of events, telling the story of a male protagonist who finds a mysterious white glove.

Although the images begin realistically, the glove takes on a life of its own and ultimately launches the man into the realm of fantasy. “It’s unusual,” Rabb said. “It’s kind of like taking a fairy tale and writing one for adults.”

Emma Kleiner, a sophomore majoring in Enlgish, history and art history, stands in front of the exhibit she helped to curate, “Max Klinger: The Glove.” The exhibit (below) is made of 10 surrealist prints and marks Kleiner’s curatorial debut at the UAMA.

Max Klinger might not be the most famous artist around, but this fantastical collection was influential in the progression of artistic movements all across the world. Klinger made these prints in the 1880s — nearly 40 years before the surrealist movement took off. His dreamlike images and explorations into the subconscious mind later influenced artists such as Salvador Dali and Edvard Munch.

“As a current student of art history, what I liked about (Klinger ’s work) is that it’s a story. You can really delve into learning about the artist in a unique way.”

Kleiner said. She encourages students to visit the exhibit and the museum in general.

“The UA Museum of Art is a spectacular place. We have about 6,000 pieces here.”

The exhibition only runs until Jan. 30, so consider stopping by in time to see “Max Klinger: The Glove.”

The museum is closed on Mondays but opens Tuesday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tickets are free to UA students, faculty and staff with ID. As for Kleiner, this is only

the beginning of her career in the artistic community.

“Right now, I’m really enjoying working at the museum and having a handson learning experience about art history. I’m not quite sure what the future holds for me, but I hope to keep studying art. The more I learn, the more I’ll discover the right path for me.”

Tucsonans have a rare opportunity to see classical music performed in a chamber setting this Saturday at 8 p.m. at Grace St. Paul Episcopal Church.

The Arizona Chamber Orchestra will have its Tucson debut performance following the group’s first-ever performance in Tempe on Friday.

Among the 12 performers is one of UA’s very own faculty members, a professor of cello at the UA School of Music, Mark Votapek.

Having played cello for 35 years, Votapek sees the instrument not as something he does, but who he is.

“It’s what I do. It’s been the main point of my life since I was 12. There’s a great quote from (famous music educator Shin’ichi Suzuki): ‘You can only play your instrument on the days that you eat,’” he said.

Votapek was an undergrad at Indiana University and got his masters at the New England Conservatory in Boston. He performed in orchestras for 15 years before he was appointed professor of cello at the UA. Votapek sees performing with the Arizona Chamber Orchestra as a unique opportunity to play in a less popular venue.

With chamber music, “it’s a wonderful combination of having your own artistic say but you also get to play in a group,” Votapek said.

“It’s just small enough.”

The program includes works by Mozart and Rossini. It also includes Dvořak’s “Serenade for Strings,” a famous late Romantic work.

When asked about his musical philosophy, Votapek said, “You don’t think of your philosophy of how to breathe, you just do it. If you don’t, you die.”

John Shaefer remembers Ansel Adams Photography center co-founder reflects on old friend, tenure as UA president

By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat John Schaefer, UA president emeritus and chairman of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, will come to the Center for Creative Photography on Thursday to discuss his special relationship with friend and famed photographer Ansel Adams, whose archives reside on the UA campus.

The center doubles as an library and a research center and boasts more than 50 photo archives, including the works of Edward Weston, Garry Winogrand and Harry Callahan.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat sat down with Schaefer in his office in Steward Observatory to discuss how a chemist became a university president, how his hobby of photography evolved into one of the only art centers of its kind and a close friendship with an acclaimed artist.

Daily Wildcat: How did you get started in photography?

John Schaefer: I’ve always liked photography. My parents are both immigrants — my father came from a family of 10 and my mother had two siblings, and they both came from Germany.

The only way I got to know my relatives there was through pictures they sent. That’s what

DISSARD continued from page 6

started me realizing the power of images.

When I graduated from college, my parents got me a camera — a nice camera — and that’s how I got started. I took a class at the Tucson Museum of Art and got caught up in photography as a fine art form.

DW: How did the Center for Creative Photography come about?

Schaefer: I’m a firm believer in libraries. One of the measures of a great university is the quality of its library.

Photography is really the literature of our times. In the 19th century, people kept diaries.

In the 20th century, people kept photo albums.

I begun thinking about the role of photography in our society. The war in Vietnam ended because of photography. The role of Mathew Brady in the Civil War. People like Lewis Hine, who took photos of 8-year-olds in factories working eight hours a day.

It turned out that no universities were collecting photos in a serious way, documenting what life was about, and although it was invented in England, Americans really became the great practitioners of photography as an art form.

I wrote to Ansel Adams to do a one-man show. and ultimately the Center for Creative Photography came out.

DW: So, how do you go up to someone like Ansel Adams and say, “Can I have your archives?”

Schaefer: I was 36 when I became president of the university, and 10 minutes in the show I asked him much like that, “Would you like to give your archives to the University of Arizona?” And he said, “Well, (the University of California) Berkeley thinks they are going to get my archives, but they are just going to bury them in the bottom of the Bancroft Library, so if you want to do something broader than that, then I’ll be willing to talk with you.”

I went up to his home, and about a month later, the idea for the Center for Creative Photography arose with him and four other photographers.

DW: Any photographs in the Center that struck you instantly?

Schaefer: “Moonrise,” one of Ansel’s photographs. But there are just a lot of great black and white images.

DW: How did the event on Jan. 20 come about?

Schaefer: Becky (Senf, Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography) said she’s got a

Band anticipates unusual tour

the current cultural climate in France. What I heard on French radio reminded me of the kind of propaganda you heard about on 9/11. So going back to France is not this nostalgic trip,” Dissard said.

“It’s like wow, the bullshit is international. It’s the same type of propaganda that you’re going to get there that I’ve grown to hate here,” Dissard said.

As Dissard croons soft French vocals to a background of piano, guitar, accordion and other vocalists, L’Abandon churns musical identities not only with its distinct mixing of instrumentation and lyrical choices, but also with a wide-ranging group of artists whom Dissard has met through her artistic journey throughout the world.

Gabriel Sullivan, a local Tucson musician who plays bass, upright bass and sings backups for Dissard’s band, has also been experimenting with global sounds such as Latin cumba and Eastern European gypsy music in his own musical career.

“Her album’s got a real Tucson vibe. Lots of people contributing, a lot of different styles. Somehow it all comes together,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan plays in other bands in Tucson, including his solo project-turned-nine-piece-band Taraf De Tucson, and Y La Orquesta, a band in which he plays with tour-mates Sergio Mendoza, who plays guitar and sings backup for the band, and Brian Lopez, who plays drums, keyboards, samples, and does some vocals.

Overall, L’Abandon seems to show what a musical melting pot Tucson is.

“Tucson’s really lucky right now. The music’s kind of

hidden from the rest of the world. There’s a new wave of musicians and artists. I think it’s only a matter of time before people pick up on it,” Sullivan said.

Sullivan said touring with Dissard is an exciting and unusual experience.

“I think this will be a real special tour. Me, Brian and Sergio all play together. This is the first time we get to be someone else’s band. It’s going to bring out so much in Marianne’s record and so much musically in all of us,” Sullivan said.

Even with her upcoming European tour, Dissard says that Tucson is her home, and from her music, it’s clear that the city has been influential to her.

“I have such an emotional investment with how the city’s doing, how the music scene is thriving, how I can help with what I know and my particular position in life and ability to connect with the outside world,” Dissard said. “Of course I’m from Tucson. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

Festivities begin at The Screening Room on Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. with the screening of a film that Dissard made in Tucson: “Drunken Bees,” a film about low-rider bike culture in Tucson.

On Jan. 22, “Lonesome Cowgirls,” a remake of Andy Warhol’s “Lonesome Cowboys,” which was released at The Loft earlier in 2010.

That night at Club Congress, Marianne will perform with tour-mates and local Tucson musicians Brian Lopez, Sergio Mendoza and Gabriel Sullivan along with special guests Silver Thread Trio, Salvador Duran, Jon Villa and Connor

Gallaher. Afterward, album coproducer and DJ BK-One will host an afterparty at Vaudeville Cabaret.

bunch of questions to ask. She doesn’t want me to know what they are because she wants it to be spontaneous. It’s going to just be a conversation.

DW: Do you have any special memories of Ansel Adams in particular?

Schaefer: More of an overall impression. He was just a wonderful, kind person who genuinely cared about a lot of people and a lot of things.

He became the voice of the wilderness for a lot of people.

He was one of the driving

forces behind the conservation movement.

DW: What do you feel the Center for Creative Photography brings to the UA? Schaefer: It is one of the great, internationally recognized photography museums in the world, and I consider it one of the four or five most important things I did as president.

I just hope that students take some time and go over there.

It’s a part of what the UA is all about — changing their lives and giving them a new dimension.

Hail to ‘The King’

By Brandon Specktor Arizona Daily Wildcat King George VI has two royal pains in his ass. One: Hitler’s army is on his doorstep and poised to decimate Great Britain.

Two: the King has a debilitating stutter that causes the syllables of b-b-blitzkrieg to rattle on his tongue like a jammed howitzer.

But when “The King’s Speech” begins in 1925, King George (Colin Firth) is still just Prince Albert, Duke of York — Bertie to his family — and his mind is far from the blitz.

In a tranquil London recording studio, a conical microphone hovers above a modest brown desk. From close up, lowangle shots, the instrument looks not unlike a bullet, or the sort of bomb that the Third Reich would pour over Great Britain 15 years later.

It is the microphone that demonizes him. It is the anxiety of making his voice vulnerable to a nation of thousands that terrorizes him. The problem becomes so severe that the Duchess of York (Helena Bonham Carter) seeks out professional assistance in the form of Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush), a failed Aussie actor turned speech coach with no credentials to his name.

As Logue helps Bertie find his voice, they also find something much more valuable and crowdpleasing: enduring friendship.

There is nothing about “The King’s Speech” that does not mesmerize. Firth’s stuttering Bertie is perfectly pathetic but not afraid to explode with repressed anger and British profanity.

Rush’s Logue is a shining light in dreary London — endlessly amiable and prone to channeling Shakespearean leads during daily interactions. Even Bonham Carter’s significant eyebrows impress with the subtlety of a rare serious role.

Behind the actors, the directing/ shooting team of Tom Hooper and Danny Cohen creates a regal landscape.

Empty space towers over snow-capped castles and foggy London parks. Tall, patterned walls engulf the men moving between them.

The space in every scene is so clearly defined that you can feel the acoustics. You can sense the overwhelming weight of Bertie’s anxiety in every shot.

But ultimately it is the triumph of friendship, not the weight of expectation, that rules the film.

In the final scene, an audience applauds. When the credits run, the theater audience follows suit. “The King’s Speech” is as uplifting as it is impressive and is a valid nominee for every Academy Award.

Long live the king.

Yoga Oasis offers accessible zen

By Christy Delehanty Arizona Daily Wildcat So often, yoga is put in a category with pedicures rather than workouts, spas rather than strength. But Yoga Oasis is dispelling these misconceptions by making yoga more accessible.

When Darren Rhodes, a lifelong yoga enthusiast, took over Yoga Oasis in February of 1999, it was a much smaller operation than it is now. Since then, Yoga Oasis has expanded its central studio to three times its original size and added two other locations — in downtown and on the east side — to better serve the Tucson community.

“The fact that we have three studios, that we have over 100 classes a week, allows us to serve a wide variety of people in different demographics,” Rhodes said. “We offer the full gamut, from inexpensive classes to yearlong workshops.”

The 38 teachers make these frequent and varied classes possible.

Jeniffer Zimmerman recently became certified and now teaches as a substitute.

“Yoga Oasis is a classes I’ve attended, gem,” Zimmerman the yogahour seemed a said. “It’s super cool perfect way to engage because you can come occasional yoga-doers and get a wide variety and keep the practice — like you can be exciting. someone who’s really Because of the into yoga and just structure of the come bask in it, or you uniquely abbreviated can be someone who class, Rhodes says the wants to just try it for fast pace is necessary. the first time.”

Resolutions mobilize students … for now

By Johanna Willett Arizona Daily Wildcat

Farren Halcovich/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Students at the Rec Center kick their bodies into gear with the coming of the new year. Exercising more can be a popular resolution for busy students.

Crowds in the Student Recreation Center, carefully organized planners and scribbles over the last zero in 2010 can only mean one thing: the new year is here.

Say hello to New Year’s resolutions. “(New Year’s resolutions) are a mainstream thing, and a lot of people feel like they have to do it,” said Laura Wagner, a geography senior. “People are very goal-oriented.”

Writing down goals doesn’t necessarily mean success, and many people drop their resolutions as the year progresses and life gets in the way.

“I usually make generic resolutions, like getting good grades,” said David Bradford, a pre-physiology freshman.

“I try through the year, and I’m usually pretty successful, but I do forget them.”

In lieu of making resolutions and then failing to keep them, some students just skipped the process altogether.

“I didn’t make any because I knew that I probably wouldn’t follow them, and with graduating, I don’t know what’s going to happen in my life,” Wagner said. “In the past, I’ve tried to improve my attitude and outlook on life.”

Anna Elizondo, an undeclared freshman, agreed that resolutions aren’t always worth it.

“I just want to go along with life,” Elizondo said. “I’ve tried to give up chocolate before, but I don’t want to

constrict myself from something I love.”

Others have decided that this is the year to change.

“I just decided that I was going to get my shit together,” said Jacob Moeller, a creative writing sophomore. “I’m going to go to the Rec Center more often and do my homework. Last semester, I got sloppy.”

The bustle at the Rec Center is evidence of the ever-popular resolution to exercise.

“I didn’t formally make any (resolutions), but there are some things I’d like to do,” said Beth Sanders, a plant sciences freshman. “I want to start running or biking. It takes a while to get in the habit, but I just need to be determined.”

Bradford has decided to focus on financial goals this year.

“I’m going to try and save money,” he said. “Last semester, I blew through a lot of money.”

When asked how he would accomplish this, Bradford thought for a moment before responding, “I’m not going to get drinks at restaurants anymore.”

This is a legitimate idea, but water can get old fast. Resolutions get harder to keep as the days go on.

“I’ve made it the last few days (keeping my resolutions),” Moeller said. “That’s more than I can say about the last few months. I’m still in the attitude that I’m going to do it.”

To those of you with New Year’s resolutions: good luck. We’ll be seeing you in the library and Rec Center.

Cooking for the kitchen-impaired

By Dallas Williamson Arizona Daily Wildcat By spring semester the monotony of food options on campus can get to students. When grocery store runs are at the mercy of busy friends with cars, and CatCard funds slowly dwindle into oblivion, what is the hungry dorm resident to do? Everyone gets sick of Top Ramen after a while.

Fear not! A few minutes of Internet scrounging can reveal a wealth of recipes for those late-night, penniless students out there. The following meals and snacks can all be made using simple ingredients that you already have on your shelf or that can be purchased at U-Mart or Highland Market. The best part: No stove required. All you need is your microwave. Bon appétit!

Breakfast in a mug

Ingredients: 1 tablespoon butter or margarine 1 tablespoon milk or water 1 egg 1 dash pepper 1 dash salt Shredded cheese (optional) Place butter in a large mug. Microwave on high for 30 seconds (or until melted). Add egg, milk, salt and pepper.

Stir with a fork. Microwave for 25 seconds. Quickly stir.

Microwave for another 30 seconds or until set. (Time may vary depending on microwave, but make sure to remove eggs when they are still soft and moist.) Let stand for about 2 minutes. (Eggs will firm while standing.) Sprinkle cheese over eggs if desired.

Courtesy of www.food.com Rating: 4/5 — Tastes like scrambled eggs. They can be a little bland as is, so try stuffing them into a flour tortilla with some hot sauce for a spicy breakfast.

Cook Ramen noodles and drain. Do not add flavoring packet. In another bowl, place peanut butter, water, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, cayenne pepper and garlic powder. Microwave for 3 minutes.

Add noodles to bowl of sauce and toss. Microwave for another 1-2 minutes. Let cool and enjoy.

College sandwich

Ingredients: 2 slices of bread 2 slices of American cheese 1-2 tablespoons of peanut butter 2-3 tablespoons of Lucky Charms cereal 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Top a slice of bread with one piece of cheese. Next, spread peanut butter over cheese. Sprinkle cereal and then chocolate chips over top. Follow with the other slice of cheese and then other piece of bread. Microwave for 30 seconds. Finally, sink your teeth into this melty — but slightly crunchy — edible experience.

Courtesy of www.food.com

Rating: 4/5 — This meal is definitely for the adventurous souls out there! The distinct flavor of peanut butter hits you first, closely followed by the sweet-

1 teaspoon sugar Pinch of cayenne pepper Pinch garlic powder

Rating: 2.5/5 — Rich, thick and very peanut-buttery. Eating an entire bowl can be a challenge. Try adding a little more cayenne pepper to balance out the overwhelming peanut butter flavor.

Cake in a mug

Rating: 3/5 — A little more spongy rather than gooey, but it would certainly do the trick for a late-night chocolate fix. Add chocolate chips into the mix or top with chocolate frosting for an added fudgy kick.

Pizza-dilla

Ingredients: 4 tablespoons flour 9 tablespoons hot cocoa mix 1 pinch salt 1 egg 3 tablespoons water 3 tablespoons oil

Ingredients: 1 large tortilla Pizza sauce Shredded mozzarella cheese Pepperoni (optional)

Spread desired amount of pizza sauce on tortilla, not quite to the edge. Sprinkle mozzarella to cover.

Cover only half of tortilla with pepperoni or other desired ingredients. Place pizza-dilla on a paper towel and heat in microwave for 1 minute. Fold the “cheese only” side over the pepperoni side. Cut into 4 wedges.

It’s a pizza and a quesadilla. Yum. Courtesy of www.food.com

Variation: Mini pizzas

ness of the chocolate and the slight crunch of the cereal.

You are left with the zing of the cheese tingling on your taste buds.

Peanut sauce Ramen Ingredients: Package of Ramen noodles 1/3 cup peanut butter 1/3 cup water 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Grease a large mug with butter or margarine.

Measure out the flour, hot cocoa mix and salt into the mug. Stir. Crack the egg into the mixture and stir some more. Add water and oil. Stir again. (Make sure to scrape the bottom of the mug Dallas Williamson/Arizona Daily Wildcat with your spoon to get all pockets of dry ingredients). Put mug in microwave on high for 3 minutes.

As it bakes, the cake will rise cylindrically out of the mug; however, when done it will settle back down into the mug.

Enjoy out of your mug or dump onto a plate with a scoop of ice cream.

Friends remember Orlen’s life, legacy poetry. He was known for being one of the most generous teachers around. He was always willing to meet students to discuss their poems outside of the classroom.

— Gail Browne

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Daily Wildcat contacted students, friends and colleagues who knew Professor Steve Orlen and asked them to share their thoughts and comments of how he will be remembered.

Here is what some had to say about the poet:

He was an exceptionally dedicated teacher. He helped students pay attention to the nuances of the line and language, as well as the spirit behind the work itself. He wasn’t exactly a cowboy, but he was frank and adventureminded and loved life (and could tell Aurelie Sheehan a great anecdote).

Most of all, he listened to others — he was one of the most curious of people, always seeking out stories and truths. His curiosity and questioning was a powerful form of generosity.

— Aurelie Sheehan

How did you know Steve Orlen?

I knew Steve as a professor of creative writing. Since we moved into the Helen S. Schaefer building in 2007, Steve held many of his graduate and Gail Browne undergraduate creative writing courses in our Alumni Meeting Room.

— Gail Browne, executive director, UA Poetry Center I knew Steve as a colleague and friend.

— Aurelie Sheehan, associate English professor

Steve was a generous, open, and honest person. What he said was what he thought, always. He seemed to be comfortable everywhere.

— Sarah Kortemeier

I was a student in one of Mr. Orlen’s graduate poetry workshops (we all called him Steve), and he was also my thesis advisor; we Sarah Kortemeier worked together for most of this past year.

— Sarah Kortemeier, graduate creative writing student

Jake Levine

Old school, in the best sense.

He cared about liberal education, the education of a “free” man, but more than that, he cared about poetry.

— Jake Levine

What was Orlen’s influence on the English and creative writing departments and on the Poetry Center?

Steve came to the University of Arizona in the 1960s, the same decade the Poetry Center was founded. So he had a very long and productive history with the Poetry Center. He’s been quoted as saying, the Poetry Center is the “best living room in America for reading poetry.” Steve was a frequent reader in the Poetry Center’s Reading Series. In fact, since 1967 he read 13 times, more than any other poet in the history of the Center. Steve was an extraordinary performer of his own work, so I’m very grateful that most of those readings were recorded. Many of them are available online through our web site

Steve was my mentor and friend.

— Jake Levine, alumnus As a graduate student in poetry, I studied with him for one year.

— Christopher Nelson, graduate creative writing student What was he like professionally and personally?

Steve was a kind and gracious man — very friendly and outgoing. He was curious about everyone he met, eager to learn about people’s backgrounds and to understand their motivations. As a teacher I understand he was a master of the “close reading” and of the music in

Obama pushes for unity in wake of shooting

By Bethany Barnes and Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

“Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was a good friend of mine, as she is to almost everyone in this community. This attack on her and her constituents, our neighbors and our friends has changed us all.”

Standing before an audience of more than 13,000 in McKale Center, with an almost equal number watching via video from the nearby Arizona Stadium, President Barack Obama took a thoughtful pause.

“On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside of a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech,” he said.

“They were fulfilling a central tenant of democracy and the vision by our founders … That is the quintessentially American scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets.”

Obama and several high-ranking members of his cabinet

were present in Tucson as part of the “Together We Thrive: Tucson and America” memorial event held to honor the 19 victims and six fatalities of last Saturday’s shooting spree, an attack that took the life of federal district Judge John Roll and left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition at University Medical Center.

“There is nothing I can say that will fill the sudden hole torn in your hearts,” Obama said. “But know this. The hopes of the nation are here tonight. We mourn with you for the fallen. We join you in your grief. We add our faith

— Gail Browne

He was, for decades, an integral part of the heart and soul of the creative writing program. I can’t even imagine the number of students he inspired. … He was a very giving teacher, making himself regularly available to talk poetry and read poems. So many of Christopher his students have fond memories Nelson of sitting in his book-filled office talking about, ostensibly, a line of poetry or an image, only to find that they were actually talking about something greater, like the reasons for writing poetry or why we orient ourselves to the world and to language in the ways we do.

— Christopher Nelson What was his influence on you?

Steve held me to a very high standard — he never let me get away with lazy writing. If a poem of mine didn’t communicate effectively, he’d let me know about it in no uncertain terms. My writing has achieved greater clarity and thematic cohesion because of him. I’m not fully developed as an artist yet, but Steve helped me to figure out what kind of poet I want to be.

— Sarah Kortemeier Steve taught me the power of plain and clear sense, that to do it well, to pull it off, takes a lifetime of practice.

— Jake Levine Do you have a favorite poem, verse, or line of his? What is it and why?

One of my favorite poems is “The Painter,” which relates a story about an excursion he and his wife, painter Gail Marcus-Orlen, take to a place where there are wildflowers. I love the way, as narrator, he observes Gail’s intensity of “seeing” the yellow poppies on the roadside, so much so that she forgets where she is and what she is doing. The scene and the poem itself are so beautifully painted.

— Gail Browne

experience and connecting them with the larger forces that shape our lives. I think the poem “Permission to Speak,” the title poem of his first collection, demonstrates this well — but it’s evident throughout his body of work.

— Sarah Kortemeier He liked this poem by Thomas Lux called “Bodo”. … It’s a great example of what Steve valued in poetry.

— Jake Levine It’s impossible for me to pick a single poem of his that is my favorite, but here’s one that I find exceptionally beautiful, and it captures a quality of his personality that everyone who knew him associates with him: sensuality. He loved physicality, the body; his writing is passionate. The poem is “Song: The Kiss” (http://www. versedaily.org/songthekiss.shtml).

— Christopher Nelson How will you remember Steve Orlen?

My favorite memory of Steve goes like this.

Early in the year we spent working together, I went to his office with a poem that I was terrified to show to anyone because of its content (I was writing about a family tragedy, and the material was very close to me). I handed him the poem, saying something like “I’m not sure what to do with this. This poem scares me.” Steve read it, made some intelligent comments about line-edits, put the poem on his desk, and looked straight at me. “This is a pretty good poem,” he said.

It was the first time he had ever said that to me; Steve was a hard taskmaster, and he usually requested several revisions before he considered any poem “finished.” That moment was one of the best memories I will take from the UA MFA program.

Career marked by award-winning work

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Steve Orlen, born in 1942, worked at the UA for close to four decades and was an internationally renowned poet before he died of cancer in November of last year.

“He was jovial and great to work with,” Jerrold E. Hogle told the Daily Wildcat in November 2010, just after Orlen’s passing. He first met Orlen when Hogle came to campus as a new assistant professor of English in 1974.

“We will all miss him — students, faculty and staff alike,” Hogle said in an email written to students last semester.

“But will also remain deeply grateful to him for all that he has given us, on so many fronts and for so many good years, at the University of Arizona.”

Orlen worked at the UA as well as Warren Wilson College in its masters of fine arts program for writers. He also

acted as visiting faculty at universities such as University of Houston, Goddard College and the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference.

Orlen penned two chapbooks and four books of poetry, including “The Elephant’s Child: New and Selected Poems 1978-2005,” “Kisses” and “This Particular Eternity.” Orlen’s honors included a Guggenheim Fellowship from the Guggenheim Foundation as well as three grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. He also won the George Dillon Memorial Award from Poetry magazine.

Of Orlen’s “This Particular Eternity,” author Tony Hoagland, another winner of the Guggenheim Fellowship, wrote, “Anyone who believes, in this era of the fragment, that the discursive narrative American poem is linear or simplistic or exhausted, should try these poems; at his best, Orlen is the equal of anyone writing.”

Candy man shares life advice

Please recycle your copy of the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

Mark Tarnofsky

Campus Candy owner You are basically the Willy Wonka of college students, how does that feel?

It makes me feel good when I see people smile every time they walk in to the store. That is the number one thing we look to do.

Whether you broke up with your boyfriend, everyone that leaves here has a smile on their face, best thing.

Which candy represents you? I’m thinking the big jawbreakers.

No, because you know what’s in the inside. With me, you just don’t know. I would say the “claw-hopper” because it looks completely different than it actually is; it’s just the mystery of it.

They are so good they will get you pregnant. It’s true, they are so damn good.

What was the craziest night of your life?

The problem is I just don’t remember it. That’s how crazy it probably was. I was a partier like everyone else was back in the day, had a great time; it was just a fun time. I don’t think this school could have handled me, or any university.

What is something you want to do in the next few years you have not already done?

Skydiving, definitely need to do that.

What is your advice to college students that you see every day?

Don’t get married. No, I’m joking, but have fun. These are the best four years of your life. You’ll never have this time again in your life. Not a worry in the world, not a care in the world. Have the time of your life, enjoy it.

Experts offer free translations Rap music raises plenty of questions, from “What’s my name?” to “When’s the last time you heard a funky diabetic?”

Thankfully, a number of analytic hip-hop experts are willing to share the answers. Online and in print, lyric lovers have crafted rap Rosetta stones that can help new listeners parse through some of the genre’s most difficult-tounderstand rhymes.

“Most rap listeners, like most rock listeners, are more interested

in a hot beat and a catchy hook than deep, meaningful lyrics,” said Tom Lehman, one of the founders of the Internet rap interpretation site Rap Genius.

“The difference between rock and rap though is that with rap there’s actually meaning to uncover.”

With their complicated flows and ever-changing slang, some rappers like Lil Wayne can confuse casual listeners and even their biggest fans.

Q& A Questions for Quirk

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Sophomore all-around gymnast Molly Quirk has been a consistent leader for t h e Gymcats as she burst on to

the scene during her freshman year.

Along with Aubree Cristello , Quirk has regularly been atop the leader boards for the team.

“Both of them are doing great,” said head coach Bill

Ryden. “Molly was all-around last week. They both do the majority of the scoring for the team. When they are healthy, they do great.”

The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with Quirk after practice

yesterday to talk about the season so far and what Gymcats fans can expect from the relatively young roster.

Daily Wildcat: What are your thoughts on the team so far?

Molly Quirk: I think we have a really good team. Every day in practice, we look awesome.

The first few meets are tough; the coaches are still trying to figure out lineups, and everyone is getting their nerves out.

With injuries piling up, does that add any pressure on you to step up?

It puts pressure on the entire team. Nobody wants to see the team do badly, so everyone is going to try that much harder to make sure they can fill in for someone or do what they need to do to help the team.

The team is a lot different from last year. How has it changed for you?

We have a lot more people in the gym. That’s probably the first thing. We do have a couple injuries right now, but for the most part everybody is healthy.

There is actually a lot of competition in the gym just to try and get a spot in the lineup, and I

Jets’ Sanchez has enjoyed postseason success at a young age

think that helps the team a lot.

How does the competition in practice help?

I think it helps a lot. I mean, everyone wants to be out there on the floor competing. That’s what we have been working on since fall is to try and get a spot in the lineup. Last year, there wasn’t any of that because so many people were hurt. This year, if you see one of your teammates do good, it just motivates you to do better so you can get a spot also.

What are your feelings on new assistant coach Randi Acosta?

I think Randi (Acosta) is awesome. She expects perfection, and I think that’s really going to help our team. I mean, as the season progresses and the beam team gets more comfortable, I think everyone is going to see that our beam team is really strong, and I think that is because of her.

You have ASU this week. Is it as big a deal for you guys as it is for the rest of the campus to beat ASU? Well, gymnastics is kind of weird because your ranking isn’t based on wins and losses, so we want to get a high score for ourselves, but it’s always fun to beat ASU because we know that they want to beat us.

HOOPS

UW’s big men pose challenge

continued from page 18

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The history of the New York Jets is not exactly replete with sterling quarterback play.

Yes, Joe Namath orchestrated one of the great upsets in history and is in the Hall of Fame based on Super Bowl III and his flamboyant play on and off the field. But he only won two postseason games and actually had a losing record (60-61-4) as a starter with the Jets.

Chad Pennington won two playoff games.

So did Richard Todd. Pat Ryan won one (against the 1986 Chiefs). As did Vinny Testaverde. And that’s it.

But Mark Sanchez is setting a whole new standard.

In leading the Jets to their second straight AFC championship game this week at Pittsburgh, Sanchez is 4-1 in his two-year postseason career, including Sunday night’s 28-21 win at New England. All four wins have come on the road.

“Well, he only had a 127 (passer) rating— excuse me, 127.3,” said Jets head coach Rex Ryan. “But I’ll take it. The thing with this young man is he is just getting better. He’s just now getting better and better. He’s only in year two, and he’s won a bunch of playoff games. That might be a record for most road wins, or close to it.

“Like I said last year, he’s not going to be looked at as the weakness of the team, but as the strength. And I think you are seeing that right now.”

Actually, Sanchez’ 127.3 passer rating against the Patriots was the second-best postseason rating of his career. His best mark was 139.4 against Cincinnati in the first round last year. But his three touchdown passes at New England were a postseason best for Sanchez.

“It’s another playoff win, and it feels so good,” said Sanchez, the Jets’ first-round draft pick in 2009. “These playoff wins, they’re not easy to come by. That’s what all the older guys have told me ... LaDainian (Tomlinson) and Jason Taylor ... you don’t get these playoff wins like this in your first two years. It’s pretty unorthodox.

“I’m proud of the fact that I got drafted to a great team, that I’ve had the opportunity to play in these big games, and I’m using this experience as we go into next week.

But we can’t let up right now. It’s not time to get nostalgic and sit back and start thinking about this game. We’ve got to move on.”

In two playoff games this season, Sanchez has outdueled Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, completing 34 of 56 passes for 383 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Up next comes Ben Roethlisberger.

Those three quarterbacks have a combined six Super Bowl rings.

Sanchez is trying to deliver the Jets their first Super bowl championship since Namath

team leads the Pac-10 in offensive rebounding.

“They’re the best offensive rebounding team in our conference, and there’s a big gap between second-best,” Miller said. “They do it with a number of guys. They play with a fast pace, but they’re reckless on the offensive glass.”

did it 42 years ago. He believes the Jets will benefit from going to the AFC championship game last year.

“We know what it was like to play in a tough environment in (Indianapolis),” Sanchez said. “We knew that all of our games were going to be on the road because of our seed. We know how to play on the road; I think we’re better on the road, so that’s a huge help for us. We have a lot of experience doing it. We remember that bad taste after losing to the Colts in the AFC championship game, so we wouldn’t want that to happen again.

“You get this far, they’re all good players.

They’re all good quarterbacks. They’ll all have a great game plan. Their defense is tough, so it’ll be a great matchup, and we’re excited.”

The Jets won at Pittsburgh during the regular season, beating the Steelers 2217 on Dec. 19. But Steelers star safety Troy Polamalu, who missed that game because of an injury, is back, so Sanchez knows it will

be more difficult this time around.

“That’s where my mind’s at already,” Sanchez said while still in the Patriots’ locker room on Sunday evening. “We saw them come back in the third and fourth quarter (against Baltimore) ... and that’s a team ... you can’t let up, like their coach, like their quarterback, like their defense.”

Sanchez, like Polamalu, played at the University of Southern California, so he is well-versed in Polamalu lore.

“He is the ultimate playmaker,” Sanchez said. “From what I hear from guys at (USC) and coach (Pete) Carroll used to talk about him all the time, and he’s the ultimate teammate. He’ll do anything; he’ll sacrifice his body. He’ll kind of freelance out there and read your eyes. Especially a young quarterback, he’ll try to get after you early and rattle you.

“So, I’m excited about the matchup against him, and he’s going to bring his best, and we’re going to need our best.”

Forwards Derrick Williams, Jamelle Horne and Jesse Perry will have the pleasure of doing the gruntwork against Washington’s big men.

“You’ve always got to go out there and just battle,” Perry said. “You can scout a team to a certain extent, but it always comes down to your toughness and how hard you’re willing to battle to get the win.”

Perry and Horne have seemingly played a back-and-forth on who will show up on a given evening, while Williams has led the team with 19.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.

His presence has kept his teammates’ attention in a number of ways, most notably in how their opportunities are opened up on the floor.

Perry, in his first year at Arizona, said the chemistry between himself and Williams has developed since the beginning of the season. He’s also taken note of Williams’ moves to the basket.

“Just going up against him and watching him play,” Perry said, “just picking up certain moves … the way he’ll draw contact, the way he’ll finish.”

Hill said it’s Williams’ use of angles that makes him so special on the offensive end.

“He’s facing up so close to the basket, and with his ability to explode, it’s different,” Hill said of Williams.

“If he fakes out the guy, if the guy doesn’t fake, he’ll go right past you,” he said. “But if you do take the fake, he’ll get the shoulder past you, and once you create contact, he’s already going up for the shot.

His game is all angles.’”

HE SAID IT “It’s all the process, just hard work paying off. We have a long way to go. This could’ve been happening if we had taken care of business earlier in the year.”

Litmus test

Wildcats will learn much about themselves in Washington

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When the No. 25 Arizona men’s basketball team enters the rowdy home of the No. 20 Washington Huskies on Thursday, expect a buzz. Fighting for first-place in the conference is a big deal, after all.

“I think this is the series that makes us or breaks us,” forward Solomon Hill said. “This shows us who we are and where we stand in the Pac-10.”

But with two-thirds of the Pacific 10 Conference schedule remaining, don’t expect the Wildcats’ trip to the Northwest to be anything more than a litmus test.

“I think there could be bigger (games) here in the next few weeks,” said UA head coach Sean Miller.

“Washington, to me, they’re the program that’s on top of the Pac-10 right now,” he added. “They play at a frenetic pace. Playing them on their home court really feeds to that pace.”

Led by fiery junior guard Isaiah Thomas, the Huskies also present a challenge for sizedeprived Arizona (15-3, 4-1 Pac-10). Sevenfoot center Aziz N’Diaye and forward Matt Bryan-Amaning give Washington (13-4, 5-1 Pac-10) offensive rebounding and length on the defensive end.

Those factors feed into the Huskies’ pace, leading to open shots, including 3-pointers.

Where the Huskies struggled to find their range last season, Miller says UW poses a big threat this year — seven players shoot 35 percent or better from 3-point distance.

“I don’t mind running with them,” Miller said. “I do worry about their pace. They can really break you down with their pace, creating

easy shots. It’s important that we get back. It’s important we don’t turn the ball over.

“A turnover against Washington is a disaster; they convert so quickly.”

Arizona’s offseason a success so far COMMENTARY BY Mike Schmitz sports writer

Arizona’s epic collapse to close out the 2010 season forced head coach Mike Stoops to take a long, hard look at every facet of Arizona football.

“We have to reevaluate all aspects of our program: coaching, philosophy, personnel,” he said after the Wildcats were dominated

by Oklahoma State to lose their fifth consecutive game.

Only 20 days have passed since Arizona embarrassed itself in its second straight bowl game, but Stoops is already well on his way to re-tooling the program in all three of those areas.

Stoops always says he replaces great coaches with great coaches, and he did exactly that after losing Greg Brown and Mike Tuiasosopo to Colorado and Bill Bedenbaugh to West Virginia.

He hit the coaching jackpot with his replacements.

Stoops most recently lured in Duane Akina — who coached at Arizona under Dick Tomey at from 1987-2000 — from the University of Texas.

Akina is a heralded defensive mastermind and will help improve an Arizona secondary that proved inconsistent over the course of last season. His resume speaks for itself.

His Longhorns defense ranked sixth in the country and first in the Big 12 in total defense last season. During the course of his 32 years as a collegiate coach, Akina’s churned out six Thorpe Award finalists (three of whom won), given to the nation’s top defensive back, while sending 23 defensive backs to the NFL. Akina seems to be the perfect coach to rejuvenate a fallen Trevin Wade and develop younger defensive backs like Adam Hall, Marquis Flowers, Shaquille Richardson and Jonathan McKnight.

Stoops brought in the right guy to maximize Arizona’s defensive talent and appeared to have done the same with the Wildcats’ offense. Robert Anae, who served as BYU’s offensive coordinator for the past five seasons, is Arizona’s new offensive line coach and “run game coordinator,” according to Stoops.

Anae coached under Mike Leach at Texas Tech and “couldn’t be a better fit,” Stoops

What’s Inside:

said. Stoops wants the Wildcats to move more toward a Texas Tech style of spread offense, and Anae is the perfect guy for the job.

The Wildcats also brought on former Arizona and NFL standout Joe Salave’a to coach the defensive tackles. That coaching trio has Arizona set up for success on and off of the field.

Both Anae and Akina were born in Hawaii, while Salave’a is from American Samoa, which gives Arizona a leg up in landing the heavily sought-after Polynesian recruits.

As Stoops promised, he replaced Brown, Tuiasosopo and Bedenbaugh with even better coaches heading into the 2011 season.

With those changes in coaching comes a much-needed change in philosophy. Stoops always wanted a run-heavy, smashmouth team that could control the clock and pound the football.

But he even admitted that the Wildcats forced the run at times last season, and he’s finally realizing that Arizona’s personnel is set up for a spread offense that moves the chains through the air.

Nick Foles and the Wildcats set a school record for passing yards in a season last year, and that should only improve with Anae’s knowledge and Arizona’s top-notch receivers.

Juron Criner, who opted to return for his senior season, and Texas transfer Dan Buckner lead the deepest and most talented receiving corps Arizona has ever seen.

So it appears that change in philosophy Stoops talked about is also underway.

As far as personnel, the Wildcats still need to rebuild almost their entire offensive line while replacing both of their defensive ends. That will be the biggest challenge heading into next season, but Stoops is an excellent recruiter, and the Wildcats have defensive linemen who could possibly start at defensive end.

So although the Wildcats’ falling out at the end of 2010 leaves a sour taste for Arizona football heading into 2011, the future isn’t as grim as it may seem.

“I disagree with a lot of what’s been said about where the direction of our football team is headed,” Stoops said.

It remains to be seen how these changes translate on the field, however. Arizona’s still proven that it can’t win big games.

The Wildcats so often flirt with greatness but fall back toward mediocrity. These changes, however, may be exactly what they need to finally take that leap of faith.
