Giffords to resign from Congress

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

A little more than a year after being critically wounded from a gunshot, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords announced that she will resign from Congress this week.

“I have more work to do on my recovery, so to do what is best for Arizona, I will step down this week,” Giffords said in a video posted on her Facebook page.

Giffords has been an Arizona representative since the 2006 election,

and was a member of the Arizona Legislature for five years prior to her time in Congress.

“This was a complete surprise, I was not expecting it at all,” said Jason Brown, a political science senior who has interned for Giffords since the fall of 2009. “She is doing what’s best for her and her district, and I hope that after she spends a lot of time recovering and focusing on herself, she will run again in the near future.”

Brown said after Giffords’ resignation on Sunday, he is unsure if

his internship will carry on in some other facet. If his internship is terminated, Brown said he will have the time to volunteer on a campaign for a candidate who shares similar viewpoints with the congresswoman.

Giffords was re-elected in 2010 to a two-year term set to expire at the end of this year, and Gov. Jan Brewer will schedule special primary and general elections to find someone to fill the remainder of her term. Partisan and nonpartisan student groups on campus said they will work to

ensure student voter turnout in these elections.

Lauren Bouton, president of the UA College Republicans and a political sci- Gabrielle ence senior, said Giffords that her club Congresswoman will be tabling on the UA Mall and phone banking for Republican candidates vying for the open seat. Bouton said Giffords is a “nice, nice lady” and made

an “excellent choice” by stepping down.

“People in her district haven’t had proper legislation since the shooting,” she said. “She needs time to rest and recover.”

The University of Arizona Young Democrats will also support their candidates who run in the special and general elections, according to Erik J. Lundstrom, a political science junior and president of the club.

“They (the candidates) have

Around 120 high school and transfer students audition for dance faculty to be a dance major at the UA School of Dance. The tryout took a total of three hours.

School of Dance holds auditions First 120 applicants come for Bachelor of Fine Arts program

By Kevin Reagan DAILY WILDCAT

Around 120 students from around the country attended the School of Dance’s national auditions for their Bachelor of Fine Arts program on Saturday.

The audition, held in the Stevie Eller Dance Theater, was broken up into the three disciplines that make up the school’s triple track program — ballet, jazz and modern. If accepted, students will be trained in

each of the three areas, with the option of picking a specialty their junior year.

For each section of the audition, a faculty member led the dancers in a routine that tested their basic skills as well as how receptive they are to learning choreography.

“You need to put your stamp on it,” said Liz George, an assistant dance professor and undergraduate adviser at the school.

After 10 minutes of learning, groups of five performed. The dancers’ biggest challenge was exposing enough of their personality to make them more than just a number, said Douglas Nielsen, professor of modern dance.

“Don’t be shy,” Nielsen said.

“You can be shy in your life, but not in your art form.”

Judges rated each dancer on a scale from one to five in each of the three disciplines. If accepted, dancers will be expected to master all three of the school’s disciplines.

“You have to be good in two out of three to get in, and three out of three to get out (to graduate),” Nielsen said.

The entire faculty at the School of Dance is committed to creating an openness that allows all types of dancers from different backgrounds to develop a versatile range that is required in the professional world,

he said.

“They (faculty members) actually care, and they give really good corrections,” said Hope Endrenyi, a high school senior from Georgia. Endrenyi had already been through many other college dance auditions, she said, and she holds the UA in a high regard over other schools when it comes to the audition process.

“The vibe is more welcoming,” Endrenyi said. “They just want you to be yourself.”

Auditioning candidates will receive their letters of acceptance or rejection from the School of Dance after all auditions are complete at the end of the academic year.

In an attempt to recruit new Wildcats, the Office of Admissions has alumni and parents sharing their stories with potential students.

Parents and Alumni Working with Students started about three years ago, but has recently undergone changes to help increase volunteer involvement.

“We didn’t have a lot of efforts going into it, so we were trying to figure out how we could get more people involved,” said Marc Acuña, assistant director for non-resident recruitment. “I like to say it’s the parent experience or the alumni experience.”

Acuña has been involved with the program for about a year, and refers to it as “Parents and Alumni Working with Students 2.0,” after the program’s recent revamp. The changes aim to get parents and alumni excited about the recruitment process.

Parents and alumni are now free to create and express their own experiences at the UA, rather than being given specific assignments and demands.

“My involvement with (Parents and Alumni Working with Students) is to help promote the University of Arizona in an outlying city and to show people that University of Arizona, from a parent’s perspective, truly cares about your son or daughter,” said Joel Lewis, a parent of a UA student and a Parents and Alumni Working with Students volunteer.

Student mother earns fellowship Parent of four recieves funding to teach at public school

By Stephanie Casanova DAILY WILDCAT

Lisa Montez Sullivan, a UA senior and single mother of four, has been awarded the Woodrow WilsonRockefeller Brothers Fund Fellowships for Aspiring Teachers of Color.

The fellowship, which aims to recruit and support individuals of color as K-12 public school teachers, is offered to students majoring in subjects like English, history, math and various sciences that could be applied toward a master’s degree in education.

Sullivan, who is studying English with a minor in psychology, was one of 25 students nationwide who earned the award. The UA nominated Sullivan for the award. She said she was both nervous and afraid when she found out she was one of the 39 finalists.

“She was almost surprised by

her success,” said Karna Walter, director of nationally competitive scholarships for the Honors College. “I think those of us who worked with her along the way had

great confidence in her ability to be successful.”

Walter helped Sullivan through the application process by looking at her essays, providing feedback and making sure her application was competitive.

Laura Lunsford, assistant professor of psychology at UA South and Sullivan’s mentor, worked with Sullivan on research projects and also worked with her through the process.

“Lisa is why I love my job,” Lunsford said. “In addition to being such a good thinker, she has an amazing personality. … She’s unconventional in a great way that I think is going to reach students.”

Sullivan said she aspires to teach on a reservation or in an inner-city school. Her passion for teaching comes from her anger about “opportunities that are taken away” from students because of their life situations, she said.

“There’s so many situations that … keep people who are truly intelligent from joining in this particular party,” Sullivan said. “I feel like every kid

you see on the corner selling dope, he should have a business degree.”

Language barriers and poverty are among other circumstances that keep people from the opportunity of becoming educated, according to Sullivan.

“I want to be in the trenches,” Sullivan said. “I want to be where I’m needed most, where I can do the most good.”

As a mother of four, Sullivan decided to wait until her children were older before she continued her education. When her youngest was a freshman in high school in 2005, she decided to go back to college and started at Wayne State University in Detroit. She transferred to Pima Community College and the UA as a dual enrolled student in 2007.

Sullivan is the second UA student to be awarded the fellowship. Jessica Mejia was a recipient in 2011 when the UA became a nominating university.

“She (Sullivan) is a great representative of the University of Arizona,” Walter said.

UA astronomers discover hottest planets Steward Observatory researchers monitor planet pulsations

By Stephanie Zawada DAILY WILDCAT Before stars burn out, they inflate to become red giants. The outer hydrogen envelope of these massive stars expand and can swallow almost anything that stands in its path, including smaller planets.

Elizabeth Green, an associate astronomer at the Steward Observatory, was part of the research team that recently discovered two planets, roughly the size of Earth, that remained intact after being swallowed.

“They are the hottest planets ever found,” Green said, adding that the temperature of the planets’ host star is measured to be 28,000 degrees Kelvin, while the sun is only 5,770 degrees K. “We don’t know how many are like this.”

During the study of the pulsations of subdwarf B star KOI 55 of the Cygnus constellation, researchers discovered that the star is, in fact, a host star that is orbited by planets KOI 55.01 and KOI 55.02.

The star’s pulsations were being monitored via NASA’s Kepler telescope. French astronomer

Stephane Charpinet of the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie, who led the research team that discovered these planets, predicted stars would pulsate years ago.

Observing a star’s pulsations can aid researchers in their quest to understand what goes on inside a star.

Pressure-mode pulsations are easy to study from the ground, Green said, but it is gravity-mode pulsations that extend into the core of the star and help us to study the interior.

“Asteroseismology uses these pulsation frequencies to figure out what’s going on in a star. The holy grail will be to find a star that has both pressure and gravity modes,” Green said.

The radii of the two planets are in the same ballpark, being 0.76 and 0.87 times the size of Earth’s radius.

“What they really want to find is earth-sized planets,” Green said.

This discovery points to the theory that orbiting planets help to produce a subdwarf B star, the original star’s helium core, by pulling mass away from the star in its red giant phase.

“We don’t know if it takes two planets,” Green said. “It’s going to be very tricky to sort out what’s what.

When we thought they were all due to stars, it was easier.”

Green said that her colleagues made small-scale models for their research while she provided the initial data — in this case, the spectra.

Campus Health, UAPD work to punish bullying

By Yara Askar DAILY WILDCAT

Campus Health Service and UAPD are working together to reduce the number of bullying and harassment incidents on campus.

The Step Up! program through the Campus Health Service helps reduce occurrences of interpersonal violence on campus through bystander intervention trainings, according to Melanie Fleck, the outreach specialist at Campus Health Service in the Health Promotion and Preventive Services office. The program focuses on teaching people to take action against bullying by “stepping up” and speaking out when they see someone is being harassed or bullied, Fleck said.

“We offer ways on how to report, advise and to step up and report incidents,” she said. “It is about taking an approach of, if you see someone bullied and you want to stop it, then step up and stop it.”

Students are encouraged to report any bullying incident — whether physical, verbal, emotional or online — to the Dean of Students Office where it can be documented. Even if the case is anonymous, students are still encouraged to report the incident and how it happened. In the case of physical injuries, according to Fleck, students are to immediately report to

Campus Health Service where they can seek medical assistance.

“We are concerned with the safety of that particular person and that it is addressed in a timely matter,” said Sgt. Juan Alvarez, the University of Arizona Police Department public information officer.

Before the UAPD can get involved, there must be a violation of the law, like a verbal threat, assault, or other means of harassment. All assaults are documented, but UAPD does not classify particular cases as bullying.

There are not necessarily consequences for every bullying incident where police must intervene; the bullying must relate to an offense such as a misdemeanor or a felony, Alvarez said.

“We recommend that if anyone feels uncomfortable with the contact of another person and they have an issue with that person, they can come to us, we can talk to them and find exactly what the issues are and then if it is necessary we can do a referral to the dean of students,” Alvarez said.

The Division of Student Affairs partnered with Sheri Bauman, a professor of disability and psychoeducational studies and director of the school’s counseling program, conducted a study on cyberbullying at the UA. The study was conducted through a focus group at the UA,

which examined whether or not students think cyberbullying is a problem on campus, what cyberbullying means to students and what can be done about it.

“Cyberbullying involves a broad range of behaviors or actions in which a person uses technology in a way that is perceived as aggressive or threatening to another person,” said Angela Baldasare, divisional manager of assessment and data analysis in the division of Student Affairs and co-author of the study.

“Cyberbullying, the non-face-toface form of bullying … is sometimes more common then the physical face-to-face form of bullying,” Baldasare said.

Cyberbullying can happen through the use of Internet or electronic communications to harass or make other students feel bad, Baldasare said. From the study, Baldasare and her colleagues were able to learn what students expected from their administration regarding cyberbullying.

Students have suggested that the university establish a clear policy about cyberbullying with consequences — faculties should incorporate the proposed policy in their syllabus, and provide educational programs on cyberbullying in residence halls and during freshman orientation.

“Just getting the data is a work of art,” Green said.

Most ideas about how things in the solar system work are based solely upon observations made with telescopes and scientific laws that have

been previously proven upon Earth.

The inside of the star, Green said, is so hot that one would never experience such heat on Earth, unless “you explode an atomic bomb.”

while parents can talk to students and their parents about what it’s like to go through the process, Acuña said.

Lewis, whose daughter currently attends the UA, can relate to other parents who are sending their children off to college, he said. He reassures them about the safety of the UA and the open communication students experience with the university.

“As a parent, you want to make sure your child is having the best experience that they can have,” Lewis said. “PAWS is a link between the child and their parent.”

Although Lewis and his wife are both new to the program, he said he feels as if they have been on board forever. He constantly represents the UA wherever he goes, he said, which allows him to strike up conversations with those who seem interested in attending.

“Our goal is to build lifetime Wildcats. Once you graduate here you’re still a part of this family and you can always help us with recruitment and admissions and still be involved with the university,” Acuña said. “I love the ‘alumni for life’ motto. I am alumni, so you’re here forever.”

first join, they are given a handbook that covers the do’s and don’ts, basic admission information and cost of attendance as well as other information about the university, Acuña said.

Once they sign an official letter, they become active members of the program and meet one-on-one with a UA recruiter in their area.

From there, parents and alumni are free to determine how to promote the UA, either by adopting a high school to continuously recruit students from or simply reaching out to students at college fairs.

“There’s only so much you can learn from reading a brochure or perusing a website,” said Stefany Blinn, an alumna and volunteer with Parents and Alumni Working with Students. “I think sharing that actual alumni experience really resonates with some of the high school seniors that we talk to.”

Parents and alumni share their experiences with both other parents and potential students. Alumni can spend one-on-one time with students and share their UA stories,

some big shoes to fill,” Lundstrom said. “We (the club) were hoping she would be able to stay, she represents so well. We hope to see her back.”

Nonpartisan campus group leaders from the Arizona Students’ Association and the Associated Students of the University of Arizona said they will try to get students to participate in the elections and support candidates who prioritize higher education.

“We (ASA) don’t care if you’re Democrat, Republican, Green or Libertarian, we just do our best to try and convince our elected

officials that our university needs their support,” said Dan Fitzgibbon, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association.

Fitzgibbon said the association hopes to kindle a relationship with whomever takes Giffords’ seat, and that they plan on educating students on where each candidate stands regarding issues of higher education.

ASUA President James Allen said Giffords has been an “absolute inspiration” for Tucsonans, the UA community and the nation.

Although her resignation is “truly regrettable,” Allen said, ASUA will continue to promote student turnout in upcoming elections.

“I don’t think her impact will ever diminish in politics,” Allen said.

Iraqi government falling Arizona Daily Wildcat apart after US departure Monday Mega MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

BAGHDAD — Faster than anyone expected, barely a month after the last U.S. troops left, Iraq’s government appears to be coming apart.

Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, a Shiite Muslim, is driving to consolidate control and sideline more secular politicians in a battle that increasingly appears to be a fight in which there can be no compromise.

Barham Salih, the widely admired prime minister of the autonomous Kurdish region in the north, said the infighting is “tearing the country apart.”

Responding to a boycott by his Sunni partners in the power-sharing government, Maliki last week locked them out of their jobs, ordering ministries to bar their doors to Cabinet officers, even though they still have a mandate from the Iraqi parliament.

A day later, the Iraqiya bloc headed by secular Shiite Ayad Allawi, which has 94 seats in the 325-seat parliament, said that if Maliki did not agree to curbs on his power, he should be replaced, either in new elections or by a vote of Maliki’s Shiite backers in parliament.

The country’s vice-president, a Sunni, fled last month to Kurdistan, where he’s safe from Iraqi justice authorities seeking his arrest on allegations that he directed hit squads against prominent Shiites.

Maliki has attempted to oust the deputy prime minister, also a Sunni, but Sunni and Kurdish legislators refuse to hold a vote, paralyzing the Parliament.

Maliki has sent troops into the streets of the Green Zone, where most prominent politicians live, and warned top leaders that he is keeping “files” on them.

Allawi, who has been a no-show at Parliament and seems to be abroad more often than in Iraq, says that Maliki has arrested more than 1,000 political opponents on the pretext of preventing a coup by members and supporters of the Baath party of ousted dictator Saddam Hussein.

All is not well within Maliki’s bloc, either, which is able to control the Parliament with 159 votes.

Supporters of radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al Sadr, who hold 40 of those seats, abstained in protest when they were asked to remove Sunni ministers from their jobs, and they’re outraged by Maliki’s courting of Shiite extremists who are rivals to the Sadrists.

President Barack Obama may have made things worse last month when he hosted Maliki in Washington and hailed him as the leader of “Iraq’s most inclusive government yet.”

The speech enraged Saleh Mutlak, a Sunni who is a deputy prime minister.

“What I heard from Obama was

deceiving both for Americans and Iraqis,” Mutlak said. “Obama is telling Americans that they were victorious in Iraq, they liberated the country and Iraqis are now very well situated, and the hero of Iraq, the prime minister, has made an inclusive government in Iraq. But it is the opposite.”

So he gave an interview to CNN in which he denounced Maliki as a “dictator.”

Mutlak’s comments angered Maliki, who announced that he would depose Mutlak and sent a request to Parliament to oust him. But Kurds refused to take part in the vote and together with Sunni delegates deprived the Parliament of a quorum.

Mutlak said an all-party study commission had concluded that under Maliki, 86 percent of the military’s top command posts were filled by Shiites and 14 percent by members of all other sects and nationalities, well more than the 60 to 65 percent that Shiites represent in the population.

Mutlak said Maliki’s response was “I don’t believe in that,” meaning striving for ethnic and sectarian balance. And then Maliki issued a veiled threat. “We are coming after you, sooner or later,” Mutlak quoted him as saying.

“Just imagine when a prime minister talks to me and says ‘we are coming after you.’”

Coach Joe Paterno dies at 85 MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Joe Paterno, the former Penn State football coach whose Hall of Fame career ended amid scandal, died Sunday after a bout with lung cancer. He was 85.

Paterno’s family released a statement Sunday morning announcing his death.

Paterno died at 9:25 a.m. EST of “metastatic small cell carcinoma of the lung” at Mount Nittany Medical Center in State College, Pa., a hospital statement said.

Paterno, who served as Penn State’s head coach for nearly 46 seasons, was diagnosed in November with what family members described then as a treatable form of lung cancer. The diagnosis came only days after Penn State’s board of trustees fired Paterno after former assistant Jerry Sandusky was charged with child sex abuse.

Sandusky, Penn State’s former defensive coordinator, was charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse on Nov. 5, and two university administrators were charged with perjury and failure to report following a lengthy grand jury investigation. Four days after that, Penn State’s board announced Paterno’s firing as a decision made “in the best interests of the university.”

Paterno stayed at Penn State for more than 60 years, building a life and a football program around what then was a small agricultural school. Paterno spent 16 years as an assistant coach to Engle before taking over as head coach in 1966.

He had no official contract, and his initial salary was $20,000.

Former Penn State head coach Joe Paterno, seen in this 2007 file photo, died Sunday after a battle with lung cancer. He was 85.

winning the first of his two national championships, Paterno told the board of trustees that Penn State was “looking for the soul of this university.” He challenged administrators and the board to begin a fundraising campaign to take advantage of what he called a “magic time.”

But following Sandusky’s arrest in November, Paterno and the football program became the focus of national attention. At a Nov. 7 news conference announcing the charges against Sandusky, state police Commissioner Frank Noonan questioned whether Penn State officials, including Paterno, had met their “moral responsibility” in reporting what

facebook.com/pages/Mad-Marios-Italian-Deli

they allegedly knew.

Later that week, Paterno issued a series of statements. In one statement, Paterno said that, if the allegations about Sandusky proved true, “we were all fooled, along with scores of professionals trained in such things.

“It is one of the great sorrows of my life,” Paterno said in his statement of retirement. “With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more. My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination. And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this university.”

editorial Giffords’ decision respectable

A

bout a year after a bullet to the brain critically wounded her, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords decided to step down from office.

The announcement came on Sunday, through a two-minute video posted to her Facebook page.

The decision to leave office was necessary and appropriate, but Tucson’s support of Giffords would have continued even if she hadn’t stepped down.

Some will say this decision should have come much earlier.

People were clamoring for her removal from office while she was still in a hospital bed.

But so much was unknown a year ago.

No one knew on Jan. 8, 2011, if she would ever speak again, walk again or understand what happened. No one knew if in a year she’d be able to continue representing District 8.

In her announcement, Giffords was able to communicate clearly with her constituents and understand the depth of her decision — a remarkable feat after just a year of recovery from brain trauma.

But even the steadfast congresswoman isn’t Superwoman.

If she needs time to recover, then that is what she should focus on.

Giffords’ decision was not wholly unexpected. While her recovery has been remarkable, she still has a long way to go. As Arizonans, we should applaud Giffords for trying to do the impossible and support her now that she has stepped down.

Furthermore, we should remember her for more than being just the representative who was shot in the head. She was consistently ranked as one of the most centrist legislators in Congress.

Border families and friends of Robert Krentz, who was shot while working on his ranch on the border, will remember how after his death, she was the primary sponsor of legislation resulting in $600 million emergency funds that for more technology and Border Patrol agents to monitor illegal activity on the border.

Veterans will remember her as a champion for their causes, as a representative whose office helped a Vietnam veteran recover more than $314,000 in compensation for medical problems caused by exposure to Agent Orange. Even before being wounded, Giffords was an advocate for veterans’ benefits and active-duty servicemen.

“I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice,” Giffords said in her video announcement. “Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover.”

It’s more important for her to be healthy than it is for her to continue representing Southern Arizona. A special election will be held and someone will represent Giffords’ district for the final eight months of her term. Although she’ll never be truly replaced in our hearts, we hope the election will present Tucson with a new face for the same goals.

hildren should not see breastfeeding on television programming, especially from the likes of “Sesame Street.” Since the 1970s, the program presented breastfeeding mothers in multiple episodes.

However, in the 1990s, the show switched from breast to bottle.

Now, parents are urging for breastfeeding to be brought back on air alongside the bottle.

According to 2008 data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 44 percent of mothers breastfeed through six months. While many see the statistic as a prevailing reason to incorporate breastfeeding into a children’s educational program, it seems only fair to note that 56 percent of mothers do not breastfeed during that crucial period.

The local debate over

public breastfeeding recently intensified after moms around the country ordered a nationwide “nurse-in” at Target stores. The “nurse-in” was a reaction to a Texas woman who said she was breastfeeding her son when Target employees surrounded her and asked her to finish breastfeeding in a changing room. Other employees, she said, gave her dirty looks and rolled their eyes, even after she explained that the store’s corporate policy allowed her to breastfeed anywhere in the store.

Mothers breastfed at a Target here in town, and the protest is legal as an act of assembly.

However, children who watch “Sesame Street” do not know what is going on in gender politics. These toddlers cannot remember back when they were

hose who grew up watching Disney movies are programmed to believe there is a prince for every princess.

That once we find that one person who sweeps us off our feet, we live happily ever after. Even though these princesses are teenagers, we look past that because our society idolizes true love. But do they live happily every after? According to a study, most marriages of younger people fail.

The divorce rate is about 41 percent, based on 2001 Census Bureau data.

Those who marry between the ages of 20 and 24 have the highest divorce rate

in America at a whopping 36 percent for women and 38 percent for men, according to Census data.

But recent studies show that marriage is actually good for us because it helps people be happier physically and mentally. A 2002 survey by the National Survey of Family Growth show those who are married tend to show greater physical, emotional and economic well-being.

On the flip side, a study titled “Divorce and Death” found that the risk of dying is 23 percent higher after a marriage ends, making the life expectancy of divorcees comparable to that of smokers and heavy drinkers.

The number of marriages over the years has slowly been declining.

However, studies show that 80 percent of the population will eventually marry by age 40. The younger a person is when he or she marries, the higher his or her chance is of getting divorce. “It’s too young,” said Kirsten Nelson, a preeducation sophomore. “It’s important for young adults to explore the world before getting married.”

Some adults agree that waiting is the best choice.

“It does depend on the maturity,” said Debra Wood, a UA math lecturer.

“It’s better to wait until they’re both out of college. I told both of my kids to wait, they got married around that age, but they are still happily married to this day.”

Maybe this age is so hard to get married at because after college, we’re trying to get our lives started. Landing a career should be the top priority, and then once we have an income and know we are on our feet, marriage can happen. If college graduates try to get

married at the same time as starting a career, it will make the wedding extremely stressful, which probably wouldn’t be a good start to a marriage.

If two people truly love each other, they will be able to wait for marriage.

It’s common for us college kids to want to only enjoy the single life, and not have to commit, because commitment leads to getting hurt as a lot of us know from prior experience. Usually, if we’re lucky, someone even better will come along and change that whole perspective. In the future, we will be braver and more open to letting someone in and eventually getting married. So when parents ask about when you’re going to tie the knot and have children, at least you know the facts support waiting.

Police Beat

By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Counterfeit cash

University of Arizona Police Department officers received a call from the UofA Bookstore on Tuesday at 2 p.m. about a suspicious $20 bill, which had been found on the floor in the law section of the bookstore. The officer inspected the $20 bill and noticed that the ink was fading where the bill had become wet on its corner. UAPD officers and bookstore employees checked the store’s security camera to find out who had dropped the bill, but did not determine who it was. There are no suspects at this time. The bill was photographed and taken into Property and Evidence. Copies of the bill were sent to the U.S. Secret Service.

Bicyclist in the blind spot

UAPD officers arrived at the scene of a car accident involving two students on Tuesday at 5:12 p.m. A woman with a black Ford Mustang hit a male student who was riding a bike on Park Avenue. The Mustang made direct impact with the bicyclist, which caused the man to bounce on top of the car’s front window. When the Mustang stopped, the man was thrown from the windshield.

The Mustang was making a left turn, and officers speculated that the car was not traveling more than 15 mph. The bicyclist was evaluated by officials from the Tucson Fire Department and the Tucson Medical Center. The bicyclist was not taken to the hospital.

Officers asked the driver if she had been drinking. She said she hadn’t been, but that she did not see the bicyclist in her blind spot. Both students were in shock, and eventually exchanged personal information with one another. The two students agreed to handle the incident civilly. UAPD officers took photographs of the Ford Mustang, the bicyclist, the bicycle, surrounding street lights and the skid marks on the road. All photographs were logged into Property and Evidence.

DUI proven with blood test

A male student was pulled over on Wednesday at 2:56 a.m. for drunk driving. The UAPD officer on duty followed the student for a few minutes before deciding to pull him over for driving on curbs and swaying from side to side on the road. The officer asked the student for his driver’s license and registration, and asked if he had anything to drink that night. The student answered, “No, I have not been drinking tonight.” His speech was slurred, his breath smelled like alcohol and his eyes were watery and red. The officer asked the student to step out of the car so he could conduct a field sobriety test.

The officer evaluated the student, and decided that the student had consumed too much alcohol to drive. The student was arrested for driving under the influence, then transported to the UAPD. Officers asked him to conduct a breath test but the student refused to take it, saying, “I’m innocent but I don’t want to risk it.” The officers told the student he was required to give blood after obtaining a warrant to search the student. The student was fingerprinted and transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center for a blood draw, where it was determined that the student was over the legal limit to drive. The blood sample and audio recordings of his slurred speech were taken into Property and Evidence. The case will be forwarded to Tucson Police Department detectives.

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.

FOLK’S

PRETTY FACES

Jo Tomaszkowicz / Special to the daily wildcat

The girl group Silver Thread Trio performs in Tucson on Friday. The band’s debut album, Trigger & Scythe, will premiere later this week.

Tucson’s Silver Thread Trio talks writing, recording, Kickstarter and the new album Trigger & Scythe

By K.C. Libman Daily Wildcat

As the darling of the Tucson music scene, Silver Thread Trio lines its otherworldly vocal harmonies with the dark elements of American roots.

The band brings Americana, tunes reminiscent of the soundtrack to dusty traveling and the most soulful blues, together in a blend that is unmistakably a modern take on folk in its finest form.

From the stage to one-on-one banter, the band’s members make it known that while each girl is an essential part to the sound, they’re each very much their own person.

Laura Kepner-Adney is bitingly witty with smoky vocals on stage, channeling bluesy spirits in both her singing and guitar playing. Gabrielle Pietrangelo’s angelic, glassy highs are the top end of the group — she’s able to both hit falsettos and pluck the banjo simultaneously. Caroline Isaacs is the perfect complement to Pietrangelo and Kepner-Adney’s highs and lows, able to belt it hard and give the audience goosebumps while playing the washboard in mind-boggling ways.

Onstage, Silver Thread Trio is engaging, unnerving and mesmerizing. The band’s play is an exercise in minimalist artistry that produces a sound three times its size. Make no mistake: Despite the dark mood of its latest release, Trigger & Scythe, this is not a soundtrack for traveling on foot across the Appalachians. This is a mature, gorgeous release by a band of musicians who know exactly what they want and how they want it done.

Daily Wildcat: How do you three write typically?

Kepner-Adney: We each write our own songs, bring them to the group and put them together. That’s why there’s so much diversity on the album.

Given the variability of the songs, was there any theme for the album chosen beforehand?

Kepner-Adney: Drawing from the American folk tradition inevitably

leads to singing songs of death and misery, so that’s where most of songs on the album are coming from — the sadness and melancholy of folk tradition.

Pietrangelo: There’s a few happy, lighter songs — wait, just one, actually (laughs).

How they met:

in Barrio Viejo. We were nervous, singing with them for the first time.

They asked us to do some harmonies, and then it just spiraled from there.

Isaacs: They’re truly just incredibly generous people, really about spreading the love, bringing back some of their fortune to Tucson, nurturing local musicians. It’s really an honor to be taken under their wings, so to speak — playing on the album, having us at shows, they really don’t have to do that kind of thing.

Outside of the band: Kepner-Adney, from Madison, Wis., makes her own jewelry under her own brand, Wingflash.

Pietrangelo is a yoga instructor from Tucson and teaches elementary school music classes.

Isaacs is from Kingston, Pa., and does volunteer social work class instruction for Arizona State University’s Tucson branch.

talking to John Convertino (of Calexico) about how it’s so cool that he doesn’t need anything to play, and that going to music school has become that — a crutch — where before I was a little more in touch with my intuitive side.

Isaacs: For harmonies like ours though, you really have to construct properly, because there’s big accidents to be made.

Are you planning a tour? I know you’ve done some Arizona circuits, playing the festivals and what not.

Tucson’s sneak peek at Coachella artists

By Kate Newton Daily Wildcat

Every April, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., attracts thousands of music lovers bent on seeing their favorite acts up close and personal.

Whether interested in indie groups like Bon Iver, hip-hop performers like Snoop Dogg, or genre-defying favorites like Radiohead, Coachella’s expansive lineup offers something for everyone.

The offer, however, has a hasty expiration date. Despite expanding the festival to take place over two weekends for the first time, Coachella sold out in record time, according to Gigwise. Just three hours after general admission passes went on sale Jan. 13, they were gone, causing those who

missed out to desperately scour sites like Craigslist and StubHub as prices skyrocket.

Slackers, rejoice, for your presummer plans are not lost. Tucson has four upcoming shows featuring several of the same acts performing at Coachella, meaning their talent can be enjoyed for a fraction of the price tag, all while supporting local venues. Here’s a breakdown of shows worth marking on the calendar … and hey, better luck next year.

Childish Gambino

Actor, television writer, and comedian-turned-rapper Donald Glover is a true Renaissance man.

His explosive flows are tinged with his famous sense of humor (check the reference to “The Human

Centipede” in “Bonfire”), and declarations of being a role model for all the nerdy kids out there, black or white. After releasing both an EP and his first studio-backed LP in 2011, Glover has shown he has the drive to make a big impression in hip-hop.

If you go: April 10 at the Rialto Theatre. Doors open at 7 p.m.

If you go: April 17 at the Rialto Theatre. $19 for an advance ticket.

Andrew Bird

His musical takes on St. Vincent science and nature are versatile, The singer-songwriter’s 2011 complex and always artfully crafted. album Strange Mercy landed on Bird’s new album, Break It Yourself, countless “best of 2011” lists for its intricate instrumentals and ethereal will be released March 6, meaning fans can enjoy plenty of new, and vocals filled with references only intellectuals can catch.

Drake (with Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky)

Maybe one of the most anticipated shows of the year, plan on fighting with every high school girl in the greater Tucson area (and probably dip into one or several savings accounts) if you want to snag a ticket. Despite Drake’s meteoric rise to fame, it’s his tour guests that are attracting attention. Compton-born Lamar and A$AP Rocky of New York City contributed to the underground scene (and “Purple Swag” …) of hip-hop in 2011, and have worked with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Wiz Khalifa, to name a few. With spots at Coachella and well-received debut albums, expect these two to keep climbing the industry ladder.

If you go: March 4 at the Tucson Arena. Ticket price and show time TBA.

Perry’s right.

The Pac-12 is an absolute mess.

Just when a hierarchy appeared to be taking shape, Stanford found a way to lose back-to-back games to the Washington schools while Cal fell to Wazzou.

With 11 games remaining, the Wildcats have more than enough time to string together a few wins and steal the wide-open conference.

Miller said that the Arizona isn’t “the team to think about a conference race,” but as the postseason inches closer, the Wildcats have to have it on

Daily Wildcat BOULDER, Colo. — Take a look around the Coors Events Center and it won’t take long to realize Colorado’s place in NCAA basketball history.

While McKale Center houses the 1997 NCAA National Championship Trophy and displays the jerseys of Steve Kerr, Sean Elliott and Damon Stoudamire in its rafters, Colorado’s arena features no such accomplishments.

The Buffs’ poster boy is Los Angeles Clippers guard Chauncey Billups. An enormous shot of Billups in his No. 4 Buffs jersey is pasted underneath the northeast scoreboard and his jersey hangs in the rafters.

But the names next to Billups tell the story of where Colorado places on the NCAA totem pole.

To the left of Billups hang the jerseys of Jim Davis, Ken Charlton, Burdie Haldorson, Charles Gardner, Cliff Meely, Robert Jeangerard and Scott Wedman. Those aren’t exactly household names.

Colorado’s captured only five conference titles in program history.

The Buffs have only made the big dance 10 times and the NIT eight times.

But that’s changed under secondyear coach Tad Boyle. Colorado has morphed into a program on the rise.

“They’re very well-coached,” UA head coach Sean Miller said after Arizona’s 64-63 loss on Saturday.

“They have a blend of some of the oldest, most experienced players in our league, they have very good young players. They’re a good team.”

It wasn’t always that way. One local reporter said when the Buffs were part of the Big 12 Conference, the arena rarely filled up, and when it did, more than half of the crowd was Kansas or Texas fans.

But on Saturday, that wasn’t the case.

“They have an incredible home court here,” Miller said. “I give a lot of credit to Colorado.”

The Buffs faithful waved their golden towels proudly in the air. Cheerleaders shot T-shirts into the stands and gave away free Chipotle burritos. The student section read newspapers during the UA’s starting lineups, and even hoisted an oversized Billups head a la ZonaZoo.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller yells at junior forward Solomon Hill toward the end of Saturday’s 64-63 loss to Colorado. For the second time in three games, the Wildcats couldn’t convert on their last possession with a chance to tie or win the game. Arizona will likely need to win the Pac-12 tournament to reach the NCAA Tournament.

Add in that Pac-12 leaders Stanford and Cal both fell on Saturday as well and the UA’s loss becomes that much tougher to stomach. A road sweep would have catapulted Mike Schmitz Arizona into a tie with Washington Daily Wildcat for second place in the conference, which is almost unthinkable given what’s disappointing about tonight’s the Wildcats’ number of tough losses game.

After Thursday’s game against Utah, women’s basketball coach Niya Butts described the loss as “the most disappointing outcome in (her) entire coaching career.”

Butts cited the problems as a “lack of aggression” and “not having enough punch.”

Sunday’s 56-54 loss to Colorado ended with the same result but was a completely different story.

Playing before a crowd of 1,861 and in front of a national TV audience, the Wildcats showed some pizzazz and hustle against the Buffaloes, outrebounding CU 51-30 and scoring 32 points in the paint. But Arizona was unable to overcome its own turnover problem, giving the ball away 20 times. Guard Reiko Thomas said that although there was improvement, there is always more room to grow.

“We did rebound well tonight, but our turnovers cost us,” Thomas said. “We haven’t really reached our peak yet.”

Coming into the game, Arizona was ranked ninth in the Pac-12 with 13.4 offensive rebounds Jim O’Rourke / Daily Wildcat per game. It was also ninth in defensive rebounding, grabbing 27 Arizona freshman center Aley Rohde defends against Colorado on Sunday in

W-hoops, 10

McKale Center. The Wildcats lost 56-54 and fell to 2-5 in Pac-12 Conference play.

Once the Davenport Panthers’ shot hit the back of the net in the waning seconds of overtime on Saturday, the Arizona hockey team was left needing nothing short of a miracle to receive an invitation to the national tournament. But the team’s “Mighty Ducks” moment never came.

“It’s tough when you battle that hard, and you’re doing all the right things and it’s just not bouncing your way,” defender Nick Stolz said. “It’s tough out there. You feel like you put it all out there, you put everything on this line and it just didn’t go your way.”

The Wildcats outshot the defending national champion Panthers 3320 Friday and sent the game to overtime Saturday, but never led during any time over the weekend and failed to convert on every one of their power play opportunities, dropping both games 2-1.

The results showed signs of improvement; the last time Arizona played the defending national champions — in 2010 against Lindenwood — it lost 13-4 and 10-2.

“We’ve taken a team an incredibly long way in a short period time to where we lost to the defending national champions by a goal each game … and we’re upset about it,” head coach Sean Hogan said.

But at this point in the season, the Wildcats need more than moral

victories if they want to play in Strongsville, Ohio, for the national tournament.

Thanks to forward Andrew Murmes’ game-tying goal in the third period Saturday night, the Wildcats did come away with a point from the overtime loss. But in a weekend where they had multiple opportunities to either tie the game Friday or win Saturday, the results won’t sit well with the Wildcats.

“I thought we dominated both games, we outshot them,” defender Zack Waxenberg said. “We just came up a little short putting it in.”

Murmes was Arizona’s only form of offense Friday, scoring just 11 seconds into the third period after skating past the Panthers’ defense and placing the puck in the upper corner of the net. But the goal came with the Wildcats already down by two and they were unable to ever grab the equalizer.

Sophomore Steven Sisler started his fourth straight game in net and again played well, but his offense was unable to give him enough protection either night to come away with a victory.

“We still have the outlook that we want to make it to nationals, that we want to make it further,” Stolz said. “We are still going to keep battling, but obviously we’re building the team essentially from scratch. So it’s going to be tough, but we’re looking to turn things around this season.”

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

FOR KEEPS

The Campus Health Service now accepts Blue Cross/ Blue Shield. For insurance questions, call 621-5002.

Q How does plan B work? I’ve heard

about it but I don’t know the details.

A. Plan B, also known as the “morning after pill,” is taken after unprotected intercourse to prevent pregnancy. It is not the abortion pill, nor will it damage or stop an implanted pregnancy. Plan B One Step® is now the most common over-the-counter (OTC) emergency contraception (EC) on the market, containing just one pill. Plan B One Step® can reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75-89% if taken within 3 days (72 hours) of unprotected intercourse; if taken within 24 hours it’s about 94% effective. Here’s what you need to know: the sooner the pill is taken, the more effective it is.

Plan B One Step® contains the progestin hormone levonorgestrel – which is found in lower doses in some birth control pills.

Depending on a women’s menstrual cycle, it can work by: • Delaying or preventing ovulation (the release of an egg) • Altering the cervical mucus – thicker mucus makes it more difficult for sperm to move up into the uterus • Altering the lining of the uterus – makes it more difficult for an egg to attach

There may be some temporary side effects including: headache, nausea, stomach pains, breast tenderness, and menstrual cycle changes.

For heterosexual partners, it’s a good idea to have it on hand in case of unprotected intercourse, a broken condom, or if a backup method of birth control failed. Emergency contraception does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and should not be used as a regular birth control method. It’s called “Plan B” for a reason.

Plan B One Step® can be purchased OTC by males and females age 17 and older. The Campus Health Pharmacy sells it for $35.

Ella® is another EC pill that is new on the market. It can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse. Ella® requires a prescription and costs $41.90 at Campus Health. Have questions or want more information? Call 621-6516 to speak with our knowledgeable and friendly pharmacists.

GROWING

W-HOOPS

After years and years of mediocrity, basketball is finally fun again in Boulder.

“It’s a great place. That crowd is great,” said UA guard Kyle Fogg, who finished the game with 16 points on 3-of-12 shooting. “The student section was really into it. I think that definitely had a factor in the game.”

With a revitalized arena and senior Carlon Brown, sophomore Andre Roberson and freshman Spencer Dinwiddie as its three-headed monster, CU basketball is finally on the map.

Boyle, who played under legendary coach Larry Brown at Kansas, used a 24-14 2010-11 season, an NCAA Tournament snub and a conference change to push this team toward March Madness.

Although it seems odd to see Colorado at third place in the Pac-12 and 13-6 overall, the Buffs are the real deal and they proved that on Saturday.

UA forward Jesse Perry, who finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds, called CU a “great defensive team” and, like Fogg and Miller, applauded the Buffs’ hostile environment.

If Colorado continues trending up, it’s only a matter of time before Billups isn’t the only recognizable face or name in the Coors Events Center.

boards per game.

Arizona has only three players averaging more than four rebounds per game, but against the Buffaloes, the entire starting lineup had five or more, with guard Davellyn Whyte grabbing 11.

The Wildcats had 25 offensive rebounds against Colorado but were unable to capitalize, only scoring 12 secondchance points.

Two of the Wildcats’ (13-6, 2-5 Pac12) most important players, Whyte and guard Shanita Arnold, struggled mightily from the field. The duo averages 28.5 points per game and only 6.7 turnovers, but against Colorado the powerful backcourt made only four of the 28 shots they took, scoring just 12 points and turning the ball over 11 times.

“I think some of those were not bad shots, we just didn’t hit them,” Butts said.

“Some of them we could have slowed down a bit. Overall, we just didn’t knock

throughout the game for Arizona. In the first half, the Wildcats were only able to connect on 1-of-8 shots from behind the 1. Stanford (17-1, 8-0) arc before missing all five second-half attempts. The season average for Arizona 2. California (15-5, 6-2) has been 37.6 percent, good enough for 3. USC (10-7, 5-2) second in the Pac-12.

“We just didn’t knock the ball down,” 4. ASU (13-5, 4-3) Butts said. “I don’t want to shoot 5. Colorado (14-4, 3-4) anymore. … We took enough.”

The 3-pointer that would have changed 6. Washington State (9-10, 3-4) the outcome of the game was taken with 7. UCLA (8-10, 3-4) 1.7 seconds after Colorado’s Chucky Jeffery, who is third in the Pac-12, scoring 8. Oregon State (12-7, 3-5) 15.8 points per game, made a crucial shot 9. Oregon (11-9, 3-5) in the lane to give the Buffs the lead.

The Wildcats struggled to inbound the 10. Arizona (13-6, 2-5) ball, calling a timeout three times before 11. Washington (10-7, 2-5) Candice Warthen finally missed the shot short of the basket, ending the game.

12. Utah (9-9, 2-5) “We couldn’t get the ball inbounds,” Butts said. “I’ll take a lot of the blame for that. We were trying to get something down shots, and it was more than jump where you can really just catch and shoot shots. We didn’t make enough plays to the ball. Colorado was being aggressive on the ball and we didn’t want to make a win the game.”

Three-point shooting was a problem turnover, we’d rather call a timeout.”

their minds.

The question then becomes: Is Arizona good enough to go on a run and steal the conference and earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament?

As Miller said, the Wildcats showed strides against the Buffs, which suggests it’s a possibility. Perry’s play is one of those strides as he went for 20 and 10 against Colorado and averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds on the road trip.

“Jesse was really ready,” Miller said. “He played two great games on this trip. It’s great to see him playing as well as he is. It’s always difficult to lose but I thought we did some really good things on this trip.”

The Wildcats also only averaged only 10 turnovers against the Buffs and Utes, making Miller’s sarcastic talk of catching the ball somewhat of a distant memory.

Josiah Turner continues to progress as well, evident by his nine points, three assists and a steal — all in the first half — against Colorado.

Kevin Parrom is also coming along as he averaged 9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2 assists on the road trip.

Sean Miller said at the beginning of the season that it’s not going to be how this team starts or plays in the middle of the season that matters, but rather how the young Wildcats finish.

Despite the heartbreaking loss at Colorado, the Pac-12’s constant parity coupled with Arizona’s strides give the Wildcats a puncher’s chance at making a run at the conference title and sneaking into the NCAA Tournament.

Free throws Key moment: Fogg’s missed FT With the UA trailing 64-63, Kyle Fogg stepped to the line with 1:01 left on the clock and a chance to give the Wildcats the lead. Fogg missed the front end of the 1-and-1, however, leaving two points on the board that theoretically would have won the Wildcats the game. “That’s the position I’ve been working for to get into all my life and tonight I let me team down and missed a free throw,” Fogg said after the game.

Key player: Carlon Brown The senior guard and Utah transfer scored 19 points – 12 in the second half – and drilled what proved to be the game winner as he knocked down a triple with 1:19 remaining. Brown was the key to Colorado’s 14-6 early second-half run that allowed the Buffs to erase a four-point halftime deficit and lead 49-44.

Key stat: 3-for-20 The Wildcats live and die by the 3-pointer, so it’s no coincidence that a 3-for-20 clip from distance resulted in a loss. Kyle Fogg and Solomon Hill hit UA’s only 3-pointers as Nick Johnson, Jordin Mayes, Brendon Lavender and Kevin Parrom shot a combined 0-for-11 from three.
