Boca shelves lion tacos

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

UA-area eatery, Boca Tacos and Tequila, had a one-time lion taco special planned for around a week, drawing the ire of animal activists, spurring controversy, and to some, highlighting hypocrisy.

“Due to concern for safety of our families, customers, vendors, and friends we will not be selling African Lion Tacos on Feb. 16th, 2011. We will continue to bring unique and creative menu items, but not at the expense of safety,” said Brian Mazon, owner of the restaurant, via Facebook.

Mazon said to media sources

that around two dozen direct threats and hundreds more, delivered over telephone or online, drove the taco shop to cancel the Feb. 16 lion meat exotic taco day. With around 100 pre-orders for the tacos, Mazon has yet to announce what will replace lion meat tacos on the menu, but offered full refunds to all patrons.

Some students believe that the outrage might have the right spirit, but that the outrage should encompass more than just exotic fare.

“While public concern regarding the sale of lion meat is certainly an appropriate reaction, it is important to equate this issue with our meat consumption in general,” wrote

Molly Lansdowne, president of the UA’s Students Organized for Animal Rights, in an email.

Boca’s Facebook page offered several outcries against the restaurant: first for serving the tacos, then for using the animals to drum up publicity, and finally apologizing for threats against Mazon but expressing disappointment.

Lansdowne said people need to be more objective about what they protest.

“It can be easy to justify eating cow, chicken, or fish simply because they are ubiquitous components of the American diet, but people begin to feel uncomfortable consuming something as decidedly ‘exotic’ as lion.”

she wrote.

According to John Marchello, the director of the UA’s Meat Science Laboratory, which processes and sells domestically raised deer, elk and buffalo, the offering of game meat like lion is “something new” to him.

Marchello said the federal inspector who regulates their lab agreed the meat would have come from a farm in California, if it had been sold.

Funds like Dereck and Beverly Joubert’s Big Cat Initiative were created to highlight the plummeting number of lions in the wild, down to as few as 20,000 from nearly half a million 50 LION, page 3

Arizona severely scammed as a state State is target for various frauds, schemes from many sources

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The next time you find a job or receive an offer that seems too good to be true it most likely is, at least in Arizona.

Earlier this month, the Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona released its list of the top10 scams of 2010. Among those listed were employment scams, “work from home” jobs, overpayment ploys and identity theft.

Other schemes, such as debt relief services and timeshare resellers, reflected the struggling economy in the U.S. The report comes at a time when Arizona is considered the sixth most-scammed state in the U.S., according to the Federal Trade Commission’s latest report on consumer fraud, which includes data from 2009.

College students can be especially vulnerable to fraudulent schemes. Market research firm Javelin Strategy & Research found that people aged 18 to 24 years old were the slowest to detect identity fraud, taking twice as many days when compared to other age groups according to a study released last year.

Identity thieves and con artists often pose as legitimate employers online, over the phone or in person in order to get a student’s personal and financial information.

Bill Ruggirello, assistant director of employer relations at Career Services, recommended that students do research on potential employers before offering any personal information.

“Check them out thoroughly,” Ruggirello said. He suggested checking with the Better Business Bureau and the state attorney’s office to see if any complaints have been filed about the company.

Address crosses party line

By Eliza Molk and Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Bipartisanship, willingness to cross party lines and setting new goals encompassed the message of President Barack Obama’s third State of the Union address.

Obama said one of his major goals was to lower the current

budget deficit, an effort he said would require both parties to accomplish.

In order to do so, Obama plans to freeze annual domestic spending for the next five years. He said this would be the most “painful cut,” however it would reduce the deficit by more than $400 billion over the next decade.

Obama also said Americans

cannot afford to permanently extend tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans. Taking money away from schools and students instead of millionaires would not be a “matter of punishing their (millionaires’) success, but about promoting America’s success.”

The president also responded to Republican efforts to repeal

the Affordable Health Care Act for Americans. Doing so, Obama said, would add one-quarter of a trillion dollars to the federal budget deficit and could create more tension between the Democrats and Republicans in Congress.

Obama said he was willing to compromise with opponents of OBAMA, page 2

ASUA proposes changes to elections

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The ASUA Senate will propose changes to election dates and look to fund thousands in clubs at tonight’s meeting.

During the fall semester, the senate approved election dates entirely in March, but the election commission hopes to shift things up a week in the spring semester.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate, according to elections code, must approve all changes.

Proposed dates are Feb. 30 to March 2 for primary elections and March 7 to March 9 for general elections.

A “campus-wide” elections week, according to Michael Colletti’s proposal to the senate, is the reason for the change.

University Activities Board, in reorganization, is being added into ASUA and

INSIDE Opinions: Police Beat: Wildlife: Odds & Ends: Classifieds: Comics: Sports:

student events and programming board bylaws are being reviewed as well.

More than $7,000 in club funding is also up for approval.

Most clubs received at least partial funding from the ASUA Appropriations Board.

Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship, a spiritual growth club, received full funding for a UA seminar. Chabad Student Club, a Jewish cultural center, was awarded two-thirds of its funding for a March 6 leadership ceremony. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, an AfricanAmerican sorority, is hosting a fundraising event to send two members to the regional conference and received funding for everything but a disc jockey and security.

Camp Wildcat, a club which takes underprivileged children on camping trips to discuss college, had its item stricken because it couldn’t present mock receipts. It will resubmit at a later date.

the law, but would never deny someone health coverage because of a pre-existing condition. He is, however, willing to work with legislators who “have ideas about how to improve this law by making care better or more affordable.”

In order to do so, he plans on correcting a flaw in the bill that has placed an unnecessary bookkeeping burden on small businesses.

Education was another issue that Obama felt both Democrats and Republicans could work on to progress the American job market and the global competitiveness of American workers.

Nearly half of all new jobs will require education that goes beyond a high school degree over the next 10 years, according to Obama, yet as many as one-quarter of American students are not finishing high school.

He placed particular emphasis on math and science education and said up-and-coming countries such as China and India had surpassed the U.S. He expressed his strong support for education.

“We need to teach our kids that it’s not just the winner of the Super Bowl who deserves to be celebrated, but the winner of the science fair; that success is not a function of fame or PR, but of hard work and discipline,” Obama said.

Americans need to start viewing educators as “nation builders” instead of just teachers, he said.

Obama said his commitment to education also applies to the nation’s universities, specifically he said he asked Congress to permanently instate a tuition tax credit, which he estimated was worth $10,000 for four years of college.

He also challenged Congress to help him set a new goal for clean energy consumption in the U.S., asking that by 2035, 80 percent of America’s electricity come from clean energy sources. This includes wind, solar and nuclear in addition to clean coal or natural gas.

Obama closed by reemphasizing the importance of bipartisanship.

“We may have differences in policy, but we all believe in the rights enshrined in our Constitution,” he said.

“We may have different opinions, but we believe in the same promise that says this is a place where you can

Viewers gather at Democratic headquarters for State of the Union

More than 50 people gathered at the Pima County Democratic Headquarters to watch President Barack Obama give his third State of the Union address last night.

Bobby Fisher, an employee at a passport office, arrived a few minutes early. “It’s going to be a great speech,” he said. “Our country is really getting back together.

I think with the speech he gave here for the memorial, the hope of the country is getting back up.”

The event was hosted by the Pima County Democratic Party in collaboration with Organizing for America.

Executive Director of the Pima County Democratic Party Adam Kinsey had two goals in mind when planning the event. The first was to keep up their tradition of watching major speeches with like-minded people. The second took a more inclusive approach.

“It’s good and important for people of all political stripes to get together,” Kinsey said. “Especially after the events of the (Jan.) 8th. We’re happy to provide that to people, in order for everyone to come together,” he added, noting in reference to the shooting. “We’re looking forward to seeing what the president has to say to move this nation forward.”

At 7:10 p.m., as MSNBC news showed the president walking to the podium past members of the House and Senate, with people at the headquarters cheering loudly. Just minutes into Obama’s address, the camera panned over to the empty seat that was reserved for Giffords. “We pray for the health of our colleague and our friend, Gabby Giffords,” Obama said. Everyone in the Pima County Democratic Headquarters stood up from their seats and clapped.

When the camera panned to UA student Daniel Hernandez Jr., the Pima County Democratic Headquarters went wild.

Republicans watch the State of the Union address at Kiva Room in the Student Union Memorial Center on Tuesday. Many of the students in attendance were members of the College Republicans.

Caitlin Brady, an alumna of the UA with a degree in public administration and political science, was a volunteer at the event who signed in all guests. “(Obama) did a great job getting people to come together at the memorial and helping us to mourn as a community, so now it’s our turn to support him as he gives his State of the Union address,” she said.

Suzi Miller, a woman attending the watch party, thought the most reflective points of the address were that he “acknowledges education is the most important issue” and “the fact that he didn’t want education to be on the dropping list” when it came to budget cuts.

Her husband, Jeffrey Miller, a Vietnam veteran, said it was “a great speech,” yet is cautionary to believe that it will actually become a reality.

“Sure, he can say all these things.

But talk to me in six months ,and we’ll see what actually happens.

I’ve been through many presidents who can promise things,” he said, then naming every presidency since John F. Kennedy’s administration. Jeffrey Miller personally knew Gabe Zimmerman and had often volunteered in Giffords’ campaign.

In regards to the budget cuts, the Pima County Democrats were ecstatic when they heard Obama say that he was “willing to eliminate whatever we can honestly afford to do without.” The crowd stood and applauded, and one woman hugged the person seated next to her. “But let’s make sure that we’re not doing it on the backs

of our most vulnerable citizens.

And let’s make sure what we’re cutting is really excess weight,” Obama said. “Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine.”

The Pima County Democratic Headquarters filled with laughter as they clapped in support of Obama’s plan.

College Republicans react to speech

The College Republicans had their own State of the Union watch party at the Kiva Room in the Student Union Memorial Center.

Coty McKenzie, the state chair for the College Republicans and a political science senior, had mixed feelings about the speech.

“I was really impressed with the way he talked about the troops,” McKenzie said. “As an American, it is one of the most important things to talk about.”

As an Arizona native, he was unimpressed with how little border security was addressed.

“The fact that we don’t know who is coming over here is a huge issue for me. I fully understand most of them are hardworking individuals looking for a better life, however it should be legally.”

Lastly, McKenzie wants to see more jobs created in the private sector.

“Yeah, he (Obama) has created a lot of jobs, but how many in the IRS? The fact that a lot of people cannot get a job should be on the

Trevor Laky, the president of the College Republicans and a senior political science major, said the biggest issue for him was the government coming in every aspect of our lives.

“They (the government) take away a state right to secure our borders, trying to make us not enforce a law that they failed to do.”

Laky also expressed that his views on gun control were unaffected by the Giffords shooting.

“The problem is people make the argument because of the bad guy, never the good guy” Laky said. He said that Joe Zamudio, one of the people who helped tackle Jared Loughner directly after the shooting had a gun on him during the incident. “He is a law abiding civilian.”

1) Any fees to apply for a job Ruggirello said most legitimate employers shouldn’t require you to pay to apply for a position. Employers should be upfront with their information about a position, he said.

2) Cashing a check and being allowed to keep a percentage An employer will send you a seemingly legitimate check to be cashed. You are then asked to keep part of the money and send

the rest to the employer. Once the bank discovers the check is a forgery, it will then hold you responsible for repayment. “A legitimate employer will never ask you to cash a check on their behalf,” Ruggirello said.

3) High salary offered for work-at-home jobs “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is,” Ruggirello said.

4) Requests to “verify” your identity, especially over the phone “Never give an account number, never give a debit card num-

ber, never give a checking account number to verify anything” to a potential employer, Ruggirello said.

5) Spelling and grammatical errors or unusual phrasing Scams are not limited to the U.S., thanks to websites and online offers that can come from any part of the world. Even professionally designed websites can mask a scam. But what is often a telltale sign is how poorly a website is written. “It’s usually some guy in a back room there on the Internet trying to scam people to send money for something that doesn’t exist,” Ruggirello said.

“It can be easy to justify eating cow, chicken, or fish simply because they are ubiquitous components of the American diet, but people begin to feel uncomfortable consuming something as decidedly ‘exotic’ as lion.”

years ago. The Jouberts are Africa-based wildlife filmmakers and National Geographic Society explorers-in-residence.

Lion meat dishes fostered controversies in Arizona and around the nation long before this week.

A Mesa-area restaurant sold lion burgers in the spirit of last summer’s FIFA World Cup, but it turned out the Chicago, Ill., free-range farm from which the meat game came was actually Czimer’s Game & Sea Foods, a front for a skinning operation. A Philadelphia-based eatery, South Philadelphia Tap Room, also known for its exotic fare, such as ostrich, boar and bear, came under fire for Chef Michael Zulli’s lion fare, from a legal Illinois outfit called Fallows Farm.

Boca will no longer be dishing up the $8.75 lion tacos for its Feb. 16 Exotic Wednesday Taco night, but the restaurant, which has served python, rattlesnake, alligator, turtle, frog legs, elk, kangaroo, duck and oysters in the past, doesn’t plan to slow down its off-the-beaten-path offerings.

Concealed weapons on campus ensure safety Trey Terry Arizona Daily Wildcat

E

ver since Janet Napolitano left Arizona to declare the border secure from Washington, D.C., the state Legislature has made substantial changes to our firearm laws. In 2009, Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law a bill that allows those with a concealed-carry weapons permit to carry a firearm inside institutions that serve alcohol, provided that person does not drink. Last year, Arizona joined Alaska and Vermont in allowing non-felons over 21 years of age to legally carry a concealed firearm without obtaining a concealed weapons permit. This year, it appears that the firearm laws which govern the state’s colleges, including the UA, are — dare I say — in the crosshairs.

Republican Rep. Jack Harper has introduced two bills in the House to address these laws. Both of these bills were presented before the shooting on Jan. 8, though Harper said he remains “undeterred.”

The first bill would allow professors and faculty with a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm on campus “regardless of the failed anti-defense ideology of the Board of Regents.” The other bill would allow all persons with permits, including students, to carry on campus. To obtain a concealed-carry weapons permit in the state of Arizona, one must be over 21 years of age, pass a background check, demonstrate one’s ability to use a firearm properly and accurately, and complete an eight-hour class learning the applicable laws of the state.

Simply put, this new law would only allow trained, law-abiding students over the age of 21 to carry a concealed weapon.

The gun-control lobby opposes this proposed measure, of course. They make their predictable claims that rely on emotion rather than logic and facts.

For those who think mixing guns and a college atmosphere is a bad idea, remember only law-abiding permit holders will be allowed to carry. This means they will be 21 or older, sober and trained. Utah has long followed similar legislation that allows permit holders to carry on campuses, and there have been no major incidents.

Another common argument from the left is that once the police show up, they will not be able to identify the criminal if multiple people have guns. However, anyone who has ever been in a gun battle can tell you that they do not last very long. An extreme amount of carnage can happen in less than 30 seconds.

If anyone knows where the police response time is anything close to 30 seconds, please feel free to share. Nonetheless, the police are not legally responsible for students’ safety.

It only makes sense for trained, law-abiding students and faculty to be able to defend themselves and others.

In a telephone interview, Harper said: “When law-abiding, responsible adults are able to defend themselves, crime is deterred. H.B. 2001 is a bill that was requested by university professors. With four hours of range time on gun safety, four hours of classroom time on gun laws of Arizona and an FBI background check, I feel that faculty members with a (concealed weapons permit) should no longer be sitting ducks on Arizona's colleges and university campuses."

Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu also supports the proposed legislation. He said, “Campus and local police, regardless of their training and tactical ability, are always functioning from a delayed response.” He also said that criminals never follow any law and “pose a greater threat to unarmed citizens specifically in areas where weapons are prohibited, such as college campuses.”

At first glance, allowing permit holders to carry while on campus may seem unnecessary, but it is a very logical step and would only make our university a safer place for all. If some crazed person is intent on murder, he or she will disregard the fact that the UA is a “gun free zone.” Where guns are outlawed, the only people with guns will be outlaws. If that person knows that students and faculty are armed, they will be discouraged from attempting to cause terror. As the saying goes: An armed society is a polite society.

Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinions of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

MAILBAG Opinions should be informed, educated

Your Jan. 24 article re: Keith Olbermann’s departure proves one thing. You are ignorant of truth and like a young baby soaking up your liberal professor ’s rantings about conservatives and the Tea Party.

Although not a Tea Party member, I, at least, am informed about them before I speak about them. No doubt, this is something you should strive to learn as you complete the remainder of your college education.

You have no basis, whatsoever, to make a comment that “we’ll soon see that the Tea Party people are ineffective as hell too.” What is your basis for that comment? Did you research if their influence has diminished? If you had, you would have come to another conclusion. Were you sleeping during the recent elections? Oh, I am sorry, you are just a little man yet and haven’t learned to speak your own mind or the truth. You only know how to babble and parrot what your professors tell you. I can just picture you in class, eyes wide, large smile on your face as the ex-hippie professor drones on about his/her liberal views instead of giving you a balanced education. Well best wishes on that note, here is to hoping you mature over the next three years and are able to make a statement based on research and your own findings.

Please give me the courtesy of providing one sample of Fox News not reporting the facts. I would like one sample from you. Write me the statement made and by whom and tell me why you believe it is false. I am trying to keep in mind that you are just a little boy who appears to think that his professors are oh so smart.

Pity this country with students like you threatening to be potential graduates.

— Dave and Janice Fisher

Zamudio and see that as proof that in the right hands the freedom to carry a firearm is a good thing, but I think by focusing on him you are both setting up unrealistic expectations for the average gun-carrier and ignoring the other side of the issues behind gun control: keeping guns out of the hands of people who do not deserve them and can not be expected to use them in an appropriate way.

Zamudio’s behavior demonstrated extraordinary courage, running toward the sound of gun shoots, and presence of mind and control to observe the situation before acting. But that’s just it; his behavior was extraordinary.

Just because he was able to act with collectedness and reserve does not mean that any random individual who just happens to possess a gun would do the same. A different person in that same situation could very easily have made things worse by acting rashly and that is a scenario worth being mindful of.

I do not think it is reasonable to think that in a dangerous and uncertain situation the average person, armed or not, will be able to act the way Zamudio did. Holding up rather exceptional individuals like him as a possible standard is unrealistic and it draws attention away from the reality that there are people in our society who should not have firearms, such as the mentally unstable and those with violent criminal pasts.

I do not believe for a second that the Founders gave us the Second Amendment so every Tom, Dick and Harry could carry a gun with no restrictions. But rather those individuals who have proved themselves responsible and trustworthy should have that right. If something can be learned for the tragedy on Jan. 8 and the actions of those involved, it should be that the Second Amendment is a right that not everyone should, or is even capable of, exercising with maturity and foresight and is a fact that that needs to be considered.

Responsibility supports limited gun rights

In response to the editorial by Trevor Laky: I understand how you can look at an individual like Mr.

MallRANTS Mall Rants is a regular feature in the Daily Wildcat, in which students weigh in on current events and issues. This week, columnist Caroline Nachazel asked students how they would feel if their peers, professors or faculty members were allowed to carry concealed weapons on campus.

“I think there is a time and place for everything, campus might not be that place. Students and maybe some staff, I would feel opposed to, but security personnel and that type would be fine.”

— Christian Nieto, pre-business freshman “Not really, no. I feel that certain authority should be able to carry weapons, maybe teachers, should be able to. I don’t think students should because kids are growing. They are not mature yet and can get angry and lose their temper and it just gets bad. I wouldn’t feel threatened if faculty did.”

— Amanda Phelan, business marketing sophomore

“No, not at all. After recent events and everything, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I would feel safer if everybody didn’t have guns, and only if they did, they were trained in it — authorized people.”

— Brandon Best, communication junior

“I would feel less safe because I would not want the possibility, or just the idea of guns around campus. You don’t know if they are drunk or on drugs. Anyone that is relatively of a younger age and surrounded by so many people, no, just bad.”

— Corey Kingston, architecture senior

“I would feel safer. I don’t think they would do anything.”

— Ramiro Buscamente, undeclared freshman

POLICEBEAT

By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

An ounce of ‘dank weed’

A male UA student was cited for possession of “some dank weed” at La Paz Residence Hall at 12:45 a.m. on Friday.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from a resident assistant about the marijuana odor around 12:13 a.m.

The RA pointed out the room to the officer immediately smelled a strong marijuana odor.

The room’s door was open slightly and the officer knocked to enter. One of the room’s residents answered the door appearing to have just woken up.

The resident was asleep since 11:30 p.m. but said that if the door was open then his roommate was likely in the shower.

The resident’s belongings yielded no marijuana.

The officer then went to the bathroom and asked the other resident to come and talk with the officer in the room.

The officer asked the resident if he knew why the police was in his room.

“I’m pretty sure I know why,” said the student.

“Because of the marijuana in my desk.”

The student proceeded to his desk and pulled out a plastic bag, glass container with marijuana and a glass pipe.

The student said that he bought the marijuana from a girl south of campus.

He reportedly paid $240 for the ounce of marijuana. “(She) gave me a really good price on some dank weed,” the student said.

The student was cited and released for possession of marijuana.

The marijuana was weighed to be 29.4 grams at UAPD.

Mailboxes ‘stolen’ from Sky View Apartments

A UA Residence Life employee reported to UAPD at 1:13 p.m., on Friday that three separate mailbox units were missing from Sky View Apartments.

The units contained multiple mailboxes and were found to have been removed from a concrete area near the front door of the residence hall.

The employee was unsure if the boxes were stolen or removed by the postal service.

The responding UAPD officer attempted to contact a representative from the United States Postal Service.

The employee also did not know when the mailboxes disappeared. The employee said that it was discovered on Friday, but the boxes were last seen in December 2010.

The mailboxes are no longer used for mail service because deliveries are now made inside the Sky View building.

Skater tattletales, ditched by friends

A UAPD officer noticed a skateboard rolling through the Highland Avenue Parking Garage without a rider while on patrol at 5 p.m. on Friday.

The officer got out of his vehicle to investigate but did not find anyone in the immediate area.

As the officer stood around calling out for the board’s owner, a non UA-affiliated man came down the ramp on another skateboard.

The officer stopped the skater. The skater said that he was skating in the garage with some friends.

The officer then asked about the unknown skateboard and the skater said that it belonged to a friend and that the group of skateboarders was on the top floor of the garage.

The officer warned the skater not to skateboard in the garage and that if he was caught again, he would be charged.

He asked the skater to lead the way toward the group of skateboarders, but the skater’s friends were no longer on the top floor.

The skater left the area, and the officer placed the board into UAPD property for the owner to claim at a later date.

Mega-quencher battle royale: Starbucks vs convenience stores

When Starbucks introduced its trenta cup last week to 14 states, the company entered a new market and cup size to compete with convenience store drinks. The Arizona Daily Wildcat wondered how the trenta, which is only offered for Starbucks iced coffee and iced teas, compares to convenience store fountain drinks in terms of price and calories.

In terms of calories, Starbucks offers a similar number of calories per fluid ounce compared with Pepsi and Coca-Cola, its two main competitors at the convenience store. But getting an iced coffee or iced tea from Starbucks, unsurprisingly, can cost anywhere from three to seven times more than a fountain drink. Regardless of where you slake your thirst, however, you’ll have to decide if that enormous drink is really worth the cost.

campuscreatives: Morgan Anderson

Student explores meeting of art and biology

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Editors’ note: The UA is home to a multitude of creative people. Each week, the Daily Wildcat will seek them out and let them share their stories and talents.

Morgan Anderson is a senior majoring in studio art and wildlife conservation and management. The Phoenix native recently changed her art major concentration from painting and drawing to relief printmaking after being inspired by her classes with Shelia Pitt, an associate art professor at the UA. Since then, Anderson has had her work exhibited downtown and in gallery spaces on Fourth Avenue. She currently has prints and drawings on display at Zoe Boutique and Che’s Lounge.

When I interviewed Anderson in the printmaking room in the Art building, she was wearing a dress with a pink carnation print, an apron covered in green ivy that was smudged with ink, and a pair of clear plastic gloves. Anderson was testing a new print.

What are you working on right now?

Right now I’m working on printing this linocut. It’s a relief print. … Basically it’s just a flat

piece of linoleum and then you have little carving tools and you carve your image into it. Then you roll ink on it and press, and run it through a press with paper on it and then your image is on it.

What’s that an image of?

It’s a vulture baby. (Laughs.)

It’s a baby with a vulture head.

How did you arrive at this image?

Usually for my relief prints for the last year, I’ve been working with the same theme where I’ve been doing people with animal heads in different situations. I’m heavily influenced by biology.

I’m really, really interested in animals and people’s relationships with animals. So my theme is just saying that we’re all kind of like animals, no matter how hard we try not to be animals.

I was going to ask you how your other major fit into the work you’re doing here.

I’m really just interested in both subjects. Up until a year ago, I didn’t really know if I could ever combine them. But the more that I learn about relationships between different organisms, the more I’m interested in it. By combining the two subjects, it’s kind of like explaining it to myself.

Was there a lecture or something you read that made

Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Morgan Anderson, a senior majoring in studio art and wildlife conservation and management, works on a print in the School of Art on Jan. 22. Many of Anderson’s pieces feature animal heads on human bodies.

the connection for you?

I went to the L.A. County Museum of Art and I saw Damien Hirst’s earlier work, and he’s an artist that does a lot of work that’s heavily influenced by science. A lot of his works are large animals suspended in formaldehyde. I don’t know if

you’ve seen them — they’re kind of crazy.

Was there a specific work that had a great effect on you?

There were two. There was one that was a great white (shark) suspended in formaldehyde.

There was something that was sectioned, I don’t know if it was

cow or something else. Those few that are just animals, they look just like specimens. I thought it was really interesting that they’re considered a work of art.

And then I thought our body systems and interrelationships ANDERSON, page 7

Artist’s prints have been displayed in boutique, bar

are so complicated that they’re beautiful. ‌ I think that might have been an epiphany.

How long have you been making art?

I’ve been making art probably since I was 13. Then I had to take an art class in high school and I really, really didn’t want to. Then I realize I really liked it and that happened with printmaking, too.

I had to take a printmaking class and I did not want to take it at all. I was really mad. And then after that class, I was like, “OK, I’m going to change my major to printmaking.�

What’s a class like with Sheila Pitt?

It’s really great. They had a Wildcat article on her. She used to ride horses a lot and had an accident and broke her neck and became a quadriplegic. But she’s relearning how to move her arms, so it’s not permanent.

It’s really strange because when I first went to class I was like,

?

“How are you going to teach the class, because you can’t really move?� But she knows everything about printmaking.

She’s just really honest and knows exactly what you need to do. She’s the best teacher I’ve ever had.

What’s a recent print that you’re proud of?

I made three oval-shaped prints two semesters ago, and I’ve shown them at four or five shows in the past couple of months. I was getting really, really tired of art, honestly, and I wasn’t inspired by painting or drawing anymore. So once I found out that I like printmaking, it was really cool. Once I made those three prints, I realized I really loved it, and they turned out really good, I think, for my second semester of doing printmaking. I don’t have them here, but I really like them.

They’re like Victorian people with different animal heads.

Are they done like portraits or miniatures?

Yeah, they’re like portraits.

I don’t really know how to describe it. But I brought one of my new prints if you want to see it. I’m working on four that are just babies with animal heads.

Is there a title for this? (It is an image of two women with cuckoo heads, seated outdoors.

One woman is feeding an insect to the other.)

This is “Stranger in the Brood.�

This one is about how I was getting into the interrelationships and symbiosis between different organisms and how we study it a lot in science. This is a cuckoo bird. They actually lay their eggs in the nests of other birds, and when their eggs hatch, the hatchlings are a lot bigger than the hatchlings of the other birds.

So they push all those eggs out.

The other birds don’t realize that they’re not their babies, so they raise them and take care of

them, which is a really expensive process if you’re an animal.

Raising offspring is really hard.

So this is how people have those same relationships too, and I think it’s for almost the same reasons like survival mechanisms and stuff like that. But we don’t really talk about that.

How did you get your work displayed at Zoe and Che’s?

The first time I showed was in November. My friend found an empty space in a warehouse downtown, and it was really cheap because the owners, I don’t know why, they just let us rent it out for $400. Normally it would be $1,000. So we just found 10 artists who would each pay $40, including ourselves, to show whatever works we wanted to show.

Once I showed there, I was asked to show in another show. Then I started to apply to different shows because I realized I should .com

DW

do that kind of stuff if I want to do this as a job. And one of my friends has showed at Zoe’s before a few times and he was looking for someone to be in a group show with. So he asked me because he was in one of my classes. That’s pretty much it; it’s just word of mouth and applying to different things.

Does printmaking feel mentally different from painting and drawing?

It definitely does. There’s a lot of drawing influence in it. But you have to think in a different way to do this because in all printmaking, you’re removing the color from things, so you’re kind of going backwards from drawing. So it takes a while to get used to it.

Campus cooking classes emphasize health A Recipe for Cooking Confidence •Stuff one instructional kitchen with students •Toss in one nutrition expert •Chop into four separate cooking classes •Sprinkle a pinch of veggies throughout •Knead together •Allow new knowledge and confidence to stew for approximately one semester

By Johanna Willett Arizona Daily Wildcat Cooking on campus just got easier.

Last night marked the beginning of a series of monthly cooking classes held in the Student Recreation Center’s new instructional kitchen.

Each month, an hour-long class will teach students some basic ways to prepare healthy food. Taught by members of the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) and Hana Feeney, a Campus Health nutrition counselor, the first round of Cooking on Campus classes will focus primarily on students living

on campus.

The series is a result of a partnership between Campus Rec, Campus Health and SHAC. Ben Truong, a junior studying nutritional sciences and French, is the chair of SHAC’s Student Nutrition Coalition. Working closely with Feeney at Campus Health, Truong began developing the idea for campus cooking classes last semester.

“We want students to gain more confidence in the kitchen,” Truong said. “We want people to realize they can cook. There are a lot of things you can do with a microwave.”

Emile Gordon, a junior and codirector of SHAC, believes that students living on campus will find this series valuable.

“Dorm students eating unhealthily needs to be addressed,” Gordon said. “Students can learn to cook efficiently in the dorm, but it’s healthy.”

The first two classes focus on creative ways to use a microwave and what types of healthy ingredients can be found at Highland Market, U-Mart and the Park Student Union.

“It’s pretty much the way you cook things,” Truong said. “We’re working with a dietician, and we’ll be incorporating vegetables.”

The remaining two classes extend

the emphasis on basic cooking, but offer strategies that apply to students living off campus.

“Five Ingredient Meals” provides recipes that require only — you guessed it — five ingredients. “No Cook Cooking,” the final class, does away with the idea that you need a stove or oven to create a culinary masterpiece.

“Everything is going to be provided,” said Arianna Morales, the recreation services coordinator.

“People will actually be cooking and getting to try the food.”

SHAC hopes that these classes will show students that eating healthy is not only doable, but also tasty.

UA Press saw awards-rich 2010 In 1959, UA Press was established as a part of the University of Arizona anthropology department in order to publish scholarly works outside of the university. But more than 50 years later, the awardwinning press is churning out new works that show the strength of Arizona’s literary community.

In 2010, UA Press won about 20 local, state and national awards for published works from the PEN Center USA, the American Educational Studies Association and the Arab American National Museum, among other national organizations. Additionally, the UA Press work, “A Gift of Angels: The Art of Mission San Xavier del Bac” by Bernard L. Fontana, was selected among the “Top Picks” for Southwest Book of the Year.

According to Holly Schaffer, publicity manager for UA Press, the book was the only unanimous pick among stiff competition.

“The panelists and self-proclaimed voracious consumers of Southwest literature examined more than 200 titles over the course of a year to determine the books that intrigue, astonish and increase our appreciation for the literature of our region,” Schaffer said in a press release.

Already this year, six UA Press works earned “Outstanding Academic Titles” nods by Choice magazine, which analyzes hundreds of varied academic works and is geared toward American academic libraries.

The titles are less than 3 percent of the more than 25,000 titles submitted to Choice, Schaffer said in an interview with the Daily Wildcat. “It’s been a really spectacular year for us.”

The press focuses on works from the UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University, and works as a nonprofit publisher of regional texts, professors’ dissertations, scholarly works and “publishes the work of scholars wherever they may be, concentrating upon scholarship that reflects the special strengths”

of Arizona’s three public university institutions, according to its website.

UA press has more than 1,000 works in print today, printing around 55 annually, and boasts internships in editing, publishing and marketing, a step Schaffer utilized in school before eventually working for the press.

According to Schaffer, UA Press titles historically tend to receive one or two nods from Choice, but six is the largest number Schaffer has seen since she began working at the press.

The press differs from many other places in two major regards — it publishes works that not only turn profits, but also adds to the breadth of knowledge of an academic field, and every work published by the press must have two positive blind peer reviews before going to print.

“All of our books are vetted by scholars in the field,” Schaffer said. “You have a guarantee of quality.”

The press also boasts three series of texts: Sun Tracks, an indigenous voices novel series founded in 1971; Space Science Series, a solar and planetary system textbook manufacturing series founded in 1974; and Camino del Sol, a Latino literature series founded in 1994.

The future of UA Press lies in serving needs of the readers, according to Schaffer. Dozens of UA Press authors will be at the third annual Tucson Festival of Books to meet with readers and explain their methodologies. Authors are also talking about eventually offering each book from UA Press in a hard copy and digital form.

“We’re adapting as things change in the book market. Our authors are really tuned into that conversation,” Schaffer said of offering UA Press books on e-readers, “and going forward, we hope to unveil something really soon.”

Rap’s bad rap

By Remy Albillar Arizona Daily Wildcat For more than a decade, the lyrics and images produced by the hip-hop industry have come under fire for encouraging and perpetuating the objectification of women. In recent years, songs like Webbie’s 2007 “Independent” and Drake’s 2010 “Fancy” have challenged this assumption with songs that highlight “positive” female role models.

While the objectification still present in songs like these is up for debate, it is clear that on some level proponents of the hip-hop industry are interested in addressing this criticism. In some on-the-Mall interviews, a few of your fellow Wildcats weigh in on the debate.

Daily Wildcat: Do you find it unusual that as a victim of domestic abuse, Rihanna would release a song about domestic abuse, especially one that might be interpreted romanticizing a cycle of domestic abuse?

Larry Le (biochemistry sophomore): No. Singers sing about their lives. They can use that to become popular again.

Do you consider yourself a fan of hip-hop, dance, or top 40 music? What do you like about that kind of music?

Kayla John (pre-education freshman): I like the beat. It’s fun to dance to.

Do you think that kind of music contains themes or lyrics that are derogatory towards women?

Absolutely.

Do you find it unusual that as a victim of domestic abuse, Rihanna would release a song about domestic abuse, especially one that might be interpreted romanticizing a cycle of domestic abuse?

Yeah. She wanted to be all “secretive” about it, but then a song came out about it. I feel like it was a response.

Do you think that kind of music contains themes or lyrics that are derogatory towards women?

Nick Lenhart (marketing sophomore): Yes, but at the same time women in the hip-hop industry and in society are conforming to those negative descriptions that are going on in the song. Maybe at first it was offensive, to our parents, or to us … but you go out and you see it. It’s there. It’s not a made-up thing.

Do you find it unusual that as a victim of domestic abuse, Rihanna would release a song about domestic abuse, especially one that might be interpreted romanticizing a cycle of domestic abuse?

No, that’s not unusual. What else is funny is that the NFL’s MVP is a convict and our most recent Heisman winner was arrested for theft. You can get away with it if you have power and people will praise you for whatever you do. They can get away with it, and that’s the truth.

In ‘Tiny Furniture,’ grads’ fears realized Nominated by the Gotham Awards for Best Ensemble Cast and Breakthrough Director; by the Independent Spirit Awards for Best Cinematography, Best First Feature and Best First Screenplay; oh, and won the

Best Narrative Feature award at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival .

Brush that dirt off your shoulder, Lena Dunham .

Take the awards and nominations as a confirmation that a damn good film is out there in the universe, but what should really get you fired up is how appropriate

“Tiny Furniture” is for our generation. We are Aura ; we are (or soon will be) the 20-something young adult, posting up in our parents’ home, fuddling around pantsless, eating their food and wasting our time — a skinsack of organs with nothing to say for ourselves besides, “I

graduated college. I have a degree in something.” As though, if we keep saying the magic mantra, the hidden door leading to the rest of our lives will reveal itself to us and we can go on our merry way with a purpose, with a plan.

Dunham, a director, writer and actor at 24 , understands this post-grad ennui. She uses this to propel her art, and slaps our faces with the reality of how sweetly stupid we will look in her shoes. But that is life; that is the next, inevitable step; and that is what makes this movie remarkable.

“Tiny Furniture” is brutally authentic, detailing every banal second of Aura’s post-college days at home — an endeavor that, though well-done, can seem a little too drawn out for a film of 98 minutes. However, Dunham pairs this candor with fantastically witty dialogue that keeps the plot from giving out in its weaker moments.

By Kellie Mejdrich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Iron and Wine’s latest album Kiss Each Other Clean may surprise previous fans. The formerly, almost exclusively, acoustic band has taken musical leaps in this new album, ranging across pop, rock and funk genres to create a decidedly different Iron and Wine experience.

Sam Beam’s voice has always been a driving force in previous albums. But with an instrument palette much expanded from his older acoustic works, his voice takes on a completely different sound.

In albums like Around The Well or Our Endless Numbered Days, Beam weaves sentimental and nostalgic lyrics with fingerpicked, rhythmic acoustic melodies.

But in Kiss Each Other Clean, tracks like “Tree by the River” show that Beam’s voice isn’t limited to acoustic jams. In fact, listeners could suppose that in another life, Beam could be a successful pop singer. Whether that’s good or bad is up to the fans. But it’s arresting how versatile Beam’s voice proves to be in this new album.

Regardless, the experimentation on Kiss Each Other Clean is refreshing. And it’s also pretty impressive coming from a band who has arguably been a onetrick pony for quite a while. A successful, aesthetically enjoyable one, but one-dimensional nonetheless.

Tracks like “Me and Lazarus” are funky, catchy and surprising.

your wild mess of a childhood best friend (Charlotte, played

by Jemima Kirke, who is a deliciously addictive character), record yourself reading from your mother ’s old journals (later to be posted on YouTube), and dally with boys you should not try to date, but will anyway. Bring them home. Whatever prolongs the question: What next?

And as Aura slumps further into her former life, abandoning college ties and settling into a state of donothing placation dusted with not-so-smart decisions, the strings supporting her existence become tense, fraught and frayed — but only subtly so. This is supposed to mirror real life, after all.

The audience will wait for the snap, the collapse, and wonder what hope could possibly lurk under such lackluster aftermath.

Dunham uses her real sister (Nadine/Grace Dunham) and mother (Siri/photographer of miniatures, Laurie Simmons) as her on-screen familial unit — an unconventional, but clever choice, making for a quirky daughter-mother-daughter love triangle. That is “Tiny Furniture” — quirky, unconventional and very, very clever.

And the saxaphone solo at the beginning of “Big Burned Hand” is fantastic.

Funk is something that somehow works for Iron and Wine.

Of all the sounds, the funky, catchy bounce of Kiss Each Other Clean’s funk tracks arguably steal the show.

Other tracks like “Godless Brother in Love” revert to

the acoustic sound, with the addition of piano. But with such varied and wide-ranging sounds, this track seems almost out of place.

For current Iron and Wine fans, this album may seem a little bizarre. But it’s a fascinating, multidimensional work that shows the band is experimenting with sound.

MTV should have left Brits’ hit alone Jason Krell ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

I

f you miss your high school years of participating in illegal drug use, massive amounts of sex and learning valuable lessons about growing up, then you’d probably enjoy the show “Skins.” Even if your high school experiencewas nothing like that, it’s still a good watch.

But viewers beware: don’t get confused and accidentally watch MTV’s new massacre of the U.K. original. That would be an utter waste of time and an insult to a fantastic show.

Both versions follow a group of high school students and the trials they endure while growing up.

While the American take has just started, it looks like it’ll explore similar story lines, and the first episode was nearly a shot-for-shot remake of the U.K. pilot.

The baffling part about the remake is that, even though the scripts are almost identical, one is fantastic while the other is, well, embarrassing.

YogaOasis

The brilliantly designed characters from across the pond would ideally give their American counterparts all the material they needed to do as good of a job. Instead, every one falls flat in so many ways.

Take, for example, both versions of Tony, one of the main characters.

In both, Tony is — or is supposed to be — an attractive, charismatic and manipulative teen with a girlfriend that every other guy wants.

The U.K. Tony, played by Nicholas Hoult, achieved this spectacularly. Throughout the first season he pulled his friends’ strings like they were marionettes, felt no remorse and made audiences believe it. For a long time, he got away with it, and watching him play his games drove the show.

The American Tony, played

by James Newman, has a lot to measure up to. As far as his attractiveness, sure, he’s a handsome kid. But then there’s charisma — and boy, is Newman devoid of that. Actually, he’s

devoid of any worthwhile emotion, robbing the English Tony of everything that made him great.

The American version just doesn’t have the swagger necessary to get the job done, and because he’s the show’s ringleader, the rest of the cast suffers for it.

All the characters are either completely deadpan or, for some reason, act like someone told them they had an hour left to live and decided to cope with it by flailing about like an idiot. What’s worse is that each character can do both at any second. Apparently, in American television, there’s no such thing as building tension. Here in the states, we just like to go for it.

You’d think that would be enough problems to sink any show, but the actors aren’t the only issue.

While things like nudity and swearing aren’t integral to making a show about teenagers engaging, they certainly add a helpful flavor.

Real teenagers don’t position their naked bodies just right so that nothing too edgy is shown and a bleep certainly doesn’t cover up any curse words that slip out.

Because MTV wanted to make “Skins” authentic, the network decided to hire all minors for the cast without thinking about any legal implications. That has led

to a potential child pornography suit that has sent the big wigs into a tizzy. Anyone who didn’t even consider that showing minors naked — even from behind — might cause problems shouldn’t have any kind of executive power.

Frankly, this whole series was doomed from the start. Not only did the American adaptation shoot itself in the foot by airing on a channel that has to censor too much, but it was already dead right out of the gate thanks to terrible casting and a sub-par script.

The U.K. version really is worth the watch, because it does everything the American version is trying to do. It’s well written, well acted and edgy in all the right ways. For those with access to a Netflix account, I suggest watching it on instant watch.

That way, you can see what MTV has failed to do: accurately represent teenagers and the way some of them grew up.

Artists with hit albums to headline Coachella

By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Suburbs was No. 1 on Billboard’s album chart with 156,000 copies in the first week . And Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy sold a mindblowing 495,000 copies . The rapper ’s fourth album was his fourth release to skyrocket straight to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

The Black Keys also had an impressive year, as their album Brothers debuted at No. 2 on Billboard’s Current Album chart, selling about 73,000 copies in its first week. The single “Tighten Up” has been No. 1 on Billboard’s Rock Songs chart since mid December.

Bright Eyes and The Strokes did not release new albums in 2010, but have greatly anticipated albums scheduled for release in 2011.

Coachella organizers announced the music festival’s 2011 lineup last week.

Thousands will travel to Indio, Calif., to see headlining artists including Kings of Leon, Arcade Fire, Kanye West and The Strokes. The festival will also feature The Black Keys, Bright Eyes and hundreds more .

It’s no accident that the annual music festival selected such in-demand artists. Coachella’s headliners had some of the bestselling albums of the year — in fact, nearly all of the headlining bands had a No. 1 hit album in 2010.

According to the BBC, Kings of Leon’s album Come Around Sundown debuted at No. 1 in the UK, selling 183,000 copies in its first week. It also set an all-time record for the number of digital sales, with more than 40,000 . Arcade Fire’s The

Artist sets wax statues in weird spots

By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT We see images of celebrities nearly everywhere we go. Not only are they in movies, TV shows and commercials, but photos of their everyday lives are the pride and joy of tabloids and magazines. Snapping shots of famous people isn’t anything new; in fact, the paparazzi have made it into a profession.

But what about taking pictures of celebrities’ sculptures at a wax museum? It may seem strange, but it’s Judy Miller’s unique approach to the celebrity photo shoot. By combining images of wax sculptures with photographs of colorful landscapes, the Tucson artist has created a collection of artwork called “Imaginary Dioramas.”

These strange and fantastic images are currently featured at the Tucson Museum of Art. Meredith Hayes, the director of marketing at the museum, said that Miller

“worked for many years in the commercial realm, working in design and so forth. She branched out, taking her talents and creating these photo composites.”

The “Imaginary Dioramas” exhibition is original and thoughtprovoking. Miller’s work pokes fun at popular culture, and also playfully references techniques in photography and art itself. For example, the piece “Outtake #15: Dali,” is a quirky compilation in the style of surrealist Salvador Dali. Likewise, the photo called “Idols” comically places Paris Hilton, Ozzy Osbourne, Woody Allen and other disparate celebs together in a grand dining hall.

As a whole, works like these remind viewers of an irony in photography. Although the camera can capture detailed and realistic images, modern technology and editing can create vivid, lifelike pictures that aren’t real at all. This draws an interesting parallel to the wax sculptures themselves,

which are completely artificial, yet resemble real celebrities to an uncanny degree.

The way that Miller’s composites make a game out of posing celebrities suggests that popular culture itself portrays fame as a magical place all its own. Her pieces take that aspect of culture literally by transporting famous people into any place in the world. Similarly, works like “Outtake #28: Queen to Night’s Bishop 3” poses celebrities, including Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep, on a checkerboard floor like a game of chess. This composition can be seen as a reference to the game we’ve made out of watching and interpreting the actions of celebrities.

In this way, Judy Miller’s work is more than just entertaining — it comments on the world we live in. As Hayes explains, the museum really enjoys hosting this exhibition. “We love her work. We think it’s very unique and very

Boxing offers surprisingly sweaty workout

By Dallas Williamson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Boxing Inc. has been getting Tucsonans in shape for several years at its Broadway Boulevard and Ina Road locations. The Campbell Avenue location (just north of Grant Road), which opened in March of last year, is conveniently situated only a few blocks north of the UA campus.

With a variety of offerings, ranging from boxing and kickboxing to jiu jitsu and Mauy Thai, these structured classes get your heart pumping without the dullness of a lonely gym session.

I visited Boxing Inc. to see for myself if they could really provide “the best work out of my life,” as the company advertises.

Since I was a newcomer to the world of boxing, I took advantage of the $15 trial offering, which includes a half hour one-on-one instruction followed by the opportunity to participate in a group class.

The vibe

Beyond the building’s glass front doors, a thick, palpable film of sweat hung in the air, and the thumping bass booming from the surrounding stereo speakers filled the room with energetic, fast-paced tunes. A large, elevated boxing ring sat to the left of the entrance, and farther back in the left hand corner of the studio, several men were throwing punches and jabs in what looked like an enclosed sparring cage.

To the right, another boxing class was already well underway, with the participants whaling on a dozen or more hanging punching bags surrounding the floor space as an instructor yelled instructions over the music.

The workout: one-on-one

The instructors immediately set me to work. I was shown how to wrap my hands for optimum

protection and punching capability, and I was introduced to my personal instructor for the next half hour, Roman Gallegos.

As we walked into the ring, Gallegos explained that he had been boxing since the second grade. “I got into boxing because there was a bully down the street from my brother and me when we were younger,” he said. “My dad made me take karate, but I hated it. So I tried boxing instead, and it just kind of stuck.”

We jumped right into the fundamentals of the sport, breaking down the correct stance, punches and movements into understandable terms.

Five minutes into the session, I already had several glimmering beads of sweat trickling from my temples.

In trying to learn the specific footwork and punching patterns, it was clear that reaching the level of an experienced instructor would take years of practice and dedication. It was definitely not as simple as trying to get in the hardest hit. As I shuffled around the ring, gloves raised to my chin, I found boxing to be almost like an athletic art form, requiring balance, skill, precision, coordination and, of course, strength. And by the end of the half hour, those sweat beads had turned into streams.

The workout: group lesson

Never have I experienced such an intense and stimulating total body workout as I did in the onehour boxing class at Boxing Inc. The class was composed of men and women of all ages, shapes and sizes. The instructor barking at us like a drill sergeant to “keep it up” and “move faster” was Chris Gonzales, who has been teaching boxing for almost a year and a half. He fell in love with the sport when he was only 13.

Meredith Lisse, a pre-public health junior, and Thomas Ireson, a mechanical engineering junior, practice boxing to get a workout at Boxing Inc., 2524 N. Campbell Ave. Boxing Inc. offers classes, sparring and individual work out sessions with a trainer.

“Just about everything about the sport appeals to me,” Gonzales said. “You have to be coordinated with your hands, as well as your feet and eyes. It all works together. Overall, it is the most difficult sport I have done.

Out of football, track, soccer and basketball, boxing is definitely the hardest.”

After beginning our workout with five minutes of non-stop jump roping that left my heart thumping against my ribcage, Gonzales led us in a brief stretch routine before breaking the class into pairs for some warm-up boxing patterns.

My partner, high school sophomore Hailey Erickson, had started coming to Boxing Inc. six months ago after a knee injury prevented her from returning to the soccer field. “I’ve always been an active person,” she said.

“And I wanted to try something

different. So, I thought I would try (boxing) out. I’m glad I did, too, because it’s definitely a better workout than soccer.”

And what a workout it was.

Suicide runs and lunges, coupled with punching bag combinations, followed the warm-up patterns, leaving the muscles in my arms and legs burning. Next, Gonzales showed off his strength as he demonstrated how to accomplish one-handed push-ups while balancing on a medicine ball.

By the time we got to exercises that targeted our abdominals, my muscles felt like jelly — shaking with exhaustion as I lay there, holding a medicine ball above my head and struggling to keep my feet suspended just a few inches off the floor. However, as soon as the buzzer sounded, announcing the end of the session, I felt nothing but the satisfaction of pure accomplishment. And as Gonzales

Do you have a question for The Weekly Advisor?

Sponsored by the Advising Resource Cener

Even if you are familiar with the major requirements, as displayed on the Advisement Report in the Catalog, there are good reasons to officially declare a major now: •Some departments do not allow students to declare their major during Priority Registration (March 21 April 15). If you don’t declare before then, you may have to wait until the end of the semester.

•Many departments reserve priority registration only for officially declared majors and minors. If you are not declared, you may have trouble getting into classes for your major.

•Your major academic advisor is a valuable source of information. It is always in your best interest to meet with him/her to verify your understanding of the major and to ask any questions that you have.

•Developing a relationship with your major advisor and/or college advisor enables your advisor to be more effective. Advisors can help you pick classes that meet your interests, find internships or research assistantships, suggest different career or graduate school options, and address any academic difficulties.

Completing an on-line information session or attending a meeting with an academic advisor does not commit you to declaring a certain major. If you are still a little unsure, completing an information session or speaking with an academic advisor will reveal essential facts that you need to make your decision.

Teaching assistant and communication graduate student I heard you have a passion for Disney princess, what’s the deal?

It’s not so much as a passion as it is a driving force. I grew up as a Disney kid and once I got into college I was really interested in what Disney princesses were teaching myself and other young women and young girls, and what it means to be a woman. It was more of a dig deeper kind of thing.

Who do you most relate to, which princess?

Tinkerbell is my favorite.

So you consider yourself a cute little temptress?

No. She’s my favorite but I also find her very disconcerting because she is completely co-dependent.

Although, I really like Rapunzel.

Would you rather hook up with Harry Potter or Edward Cullen?

Neither, Ron Weasley! Or Oliver Wood, the Quidditch captain in the books, he was my favorite.

No … no.

Do you have any now?

Then there’s grilled Thai beef salad, a dark reddish, “mildly spicy but SUPER beefy” flavor that supposedly tastes like flank steak, red leaf lettuce, cucumber and garlic.

And, finally, there’s Krautkraemer’s favorite: Caribbean shrimp salad, a light-pink concoction designed to taste like grilled shrimp, mixed greens and raspberries.

On the Write Road

The military was responsible for Lora Rivera’s application to UA. When her husband’s job brought him to DavisMonthan, it consequently brought her to Tucson as well.

She wanted to write full-time and needed a Master’s to teach, which she hoped would be an interim job while she gained more inuence in the publishing world. Lora received her MFA in Creative Writing Fiction in May 2010. Lora’s plans were always exible based on the hope of a break in publishing her ďŹ ction. Once here, her career shifted from being set on a teaching career to considering the possibility of working for a literary agency or publishing house. “I have even toyed with the idea of eventually beginning my own agency,â€? she said.

A substantial number of employers coming to campus are looking for a wide range of students to fill a wide range of positions and this includes a wide range of majors. “Any major� doesn’t mean a diluted recruiting effort.

Lost rivalry

Wildcats, Bruins’ first meeting of the season not what it used to be

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When Arizona played UCLA during the Lute Olson era, it was usually a big game and usually for first place.

In year two of the Sean Miller era, the rivalry is dead. Arizona players see the game as a big game in terms of Pacific 10 Conference play, but not a rivalry.

When starting point guard Momo Jones was asked whether he had any particular feelings toward UCLA or USC this weekend, his answer wasn’t what many Arizona basketball followers would have expected.

“No, it’s just some more games,” he said, uninterested in calling the Bruins a rival. “It’s at home, one of them is on ESPN — it’s just another game.”

Who would have ever thought two of the most storied programs in college basketball history facing each other would be just another game?

It seems that Washington has overtaken UCLA as the Wildcats’ second biggest rival after ASU. Arizona players should see UCLA as a rival, considering the Bruins are the team that ended Arizona’s season last year in the Pac-10 tournament and basically put an end to its quarter-century-long NCAA

tournament streak.

Maybe Jones is just a youngster who hasn’t come to grips with whole UCLA-Arizona thing yet?

That’s not the case either. Even senior Jamelle Horne seconded Jones’ lack of enthusiasm toward the Bruins as a rival.

“No, I wouldn’t say a rival,” Horne added, “just a big game on our schedule. We’re going to need some big time efforts from a lot of guys.”

Jones talked about how the fans in Washington told him his tattoos don’t make him tough and Horne talked about Washington State fans filling up an entire side of their arena, but neither said too much when asked about the Bruins.

On the other hand, Sean Miller takes great pride in the history of the programs, but even he sounded as if the rivalry needed to be re-established.

“There aren’t too many games that will be played in the months of January and February, and you could look at two teams on the same court that have a history that we both have,” he said. “Moving forward, I know Arizona and UCLA have year in and year out have challenged for the conference championship, I know that’s one of the things we want to restore on our end.”

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Point guard Momo Jones and the Wildcats welcome UCLA to McKale Center this Thursday, marking the first meeting between Arizona and the Bruins this season. When asked if the game still marked one of the most heated rivalries in all of college basetball, Jones played it off as “just another game.”

Women’s tennis pleased with start

By Zack Rosenblatt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona women’s tennis team started their season off with a bang this past weekend with two commanding victories. The Wildcats defeated NAU 7-0 on Saturday and followed that with another sweep, beating University of Texas at El Paso 7-0 as well.

“The girls played fantastic on Friday, really solid on all fronts. On Sunday, we had a bit of a slow start in the doubles but, once we got past that, played beautifully in singles to close out the match,” said head coach Vicky Maes.

After handily defeating NAU in doubles, UTEP proved to be a little more difficult to defeat in that portion of the match. In position No. 1, Natasha Marks and Sarah Landsman staved off a comeback by the Miners’ Martina Trierweiler and Carolina DeLuca to win 8-6. In another back-and-forth battle in position No. 2, Wildcats Susan Mc Rann and Jane Huh also won 8-6. In the No. 3 position, Debora Castany and Lacey Smyth defeated the Miners duo of Dariya Abdrakhmanova and Marie LeBlond in a tiebreaker,

Junior Natasha Marks won her singles and doubles matches against the University of Texas at El Paso over the weekend. The Wildcats defeated UTEP 7-0 shortly after dispatching Northern Arizona 7-0.

winning (9-8) (7-5).

“We have come a long way in the doubles and that’s been a confidence booster for everyone. As far as singles, we also look good,” Maes said.

The Wildcats proved their singles talent after handily taking care of UTEP in all six singles matches.

The three Wildcat juniors handled their opponents nicely. In position No. 1, Marks took an early lead

and never looked back, defeating Trierweiler 6-4, 6-1. Landsman, who was matched up with UTEP’s Gabi Vazquez, won 6-1, 6-0. Castany was the last Wildcat to finish her match, defeating Ximena Fuentes 6-2, 6-3.

Two freshmen made stellar debuts for the Wildcats in Smyth and Mc Rann. Smyth was excellent as she took care of her opponent in an easy 6-0, 6-0 win.

Back on top Softball ranked preseason No. 1

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Though it fell short in last season’s run for the national title, the Arizona softball team is ranked the preseason No. 1 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball Collegiate poll.

The Wildcats were runners-up to UCLA in the 2010 Women’s College World Series in Oklahoma City, in June.

This marks the first time Arizona, who finished last season 52-13, has been in the No. 1 spot since the 2008 season. The Wildcats received 488 votes and nine first place votes while the Bruins received 462 votes, including 10 first place votes.

In the battle for conference supremacy, the Pacific 10 Conference still rules the poles. ASU and UCLA join Arizona in the top ten, while No. 11 Washington, No. 12 California, No. 14 Oregon and

No. 18 Stanford round out the Pac-10’s presence in the Top 25. Only five Southeastern Conference schools made the preseason pole.

The first regular-season poll will be released on Feb. 15, after the regular season starts.

The 2011 Wildcats are led by sophomore ace Kenzie Fowler and newcomer pitcher Shelby Babcock, who will reportedly split time with Fowler.

Arizona is returning 15 players to its bench, eight of which are returning starters.

The battle for shortstop is still up for grabs. Head coach Mike Candrea said the spot might be taken by one of the five incoming freshmen.

Arizona’s RPI also ranks high nationally, sliding in at No. 4 behind Alabama and fellow Pac-10 teams Washington and UCLA. Arizona’s season begins at the Kajikawa Classic in Tempe on Feb. 10.

Q& A Defensive end Ricky Elmore’s road to the NFL

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Former Wildcat Ricky Elmore has been training in California in preparation for this year’s NFL Draft. Elmore, who will play either defensive end or outside linebacker, has been told he will be selected between the third and fifth rounds.

To read the full interview head to dailywildcat.com

During his time at Arizona, defensive end Ricky Elmore displayed a never-ending motor and tireless work ethic that resulted in back-to-back Pac-10 sack titles.

It was only fitting that the first thing the 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end said to the Arizona Daily Wildcat on Monday night was, “I was going to take today off but decided not to.”

Although his Wildcat career is over, Elmore’s ramped up the pace even more as he prepares for the 2011 NFL Draft.

He’s currently training six to seven days a week in Westlake, Calif., at Proactive Sports and is inching up draft boards.

An ESPN analyst dubbed Elmore the “West Performer of the Day” at the East-West Shrine practices last week. The Simi Valley, Calif., native said his play in Orlando gave his draft stock a huge boost.

“That really helped me out

because these are really some of the best guys from around the country,” Elmore said. “Of the 100 guys there, I bet you 70 of them will be drafted.

It’s crazy, the talent that’s there. To go there and still stand out against talent like that, it’s very exciting.”

Elmore said he’s projected to be selected anywhere from the third to fifth round and has talked to “15 to 20” teams. He said the Tampa Bay Buccaneers seem most interested in him and are one of only three or four teams he talked to that want him to play defensive end.

Elmore spoke to the Wildcat at length about his experience in Orlando, his possible switch to outside linebacker and his friendly rivalry with Brooks Reed.

Daily Wildcat: How was Orlando (where Elmore played in the East-West Shrine Game in Orlando, Fla., on Saturday)?

Ricky Elmore: Oh, it was crazy, man. You’re going from Shrine events, to meetings, to practice, to interviews, to dinner, back to interviews. It was something you need

to experience to truly understand.

It was just insane. That was such a crazy eight days down in Orlando.

It was one of the best times of my life.

What was the best part of it?

The reason why we were down there was pretty cool. The Shriners Hospital, they were pretty much the reason why we were down there, besides for the NFL and stuff.

Shriners Hospital is a hospital for kids under 18 for families that can’t afford medical attention. It’s almost like, they deserve it, so they’ll give them free medical care. It’s all for a good cause.

Did you get to meet any of the kids?

Yeah, we went to the hospital, went to dinners, went to barbeques with them, just spent time with them. It was pretty cool. They don’t understand, they’re 5 years old, 4 years old, 8 years old, they don’t understand that they have a disability. It kind of opens your eyes.

It was just a really good experience for that aspect.
