Menu changes include nutritional, environmentally friendly choices dining services for Arizona Student Unions. Among the new dishes are sustainably farmed or caught fish entrees at the Cellar Bistro and whole-grain salads at 3 Cheeses & a Noodle. The revised menus come as an update to the restaurants, many of which opened with the remodeled student union in 2003. “There were some menus that simply had not been changed for a long time,” Christie said. “So

The yogurt will be sold in all locations, including Cactus Grill and U-Mart. “That to me is exciting,” Christie said. “And that is a direction we’re trying to take.

By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Planting more trees could mean more green for Arizona cotton growers. The agriculture sector in the Southwest may make more money if tree planting becomes a profitable business in the South as a result of cap-and-trade, a researcher at the UA’s Institute of the Environment says. The impact of cap-and-trade could lead to new forms of business, one of which would be tree planting in places like Mississippi. The policy, which aims to mitigate industrial greenhouse gas emissions contributing to global climate change, is part of the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. After a certain period, restrictions on emissions would rise and costs would go up, but before that, there would be enough time for industries to adjust, according to George Frisvold, a professor and agricultural-resource economics specialist at the Institute of the Environment. By adjusting and taking advantage of government incentives to fight climate change, Mississippi farmers could start growing trees instead of cotton, indirectly helping competing Arizona cotton farmers. Frisvold conducted an analysis of how the bill would affect the agriculture sector in the Southwest, and found it would not have any significant agricultural impacts until 2030. The agriculture sector, within capand-trade, would not be directly regulated or limited. Rather, greater effects would be felt by energy industries, leading to higher energy costs for the agricultural industry. In the policy, industries would have to purchase or be given permits for carbon emissions, increasing their costs, according to Frisvold. With agriculture offsets becoming potential income sources, the government could start paying farmers to plant trees to reduce carbon emissions. In the South, people would take land out of production to do that, and “up to 30 million acres in the U.S.” could be used to plant trees, Frisvold said. The process would

EVERYONE HAS A STORY SexTalk, KFC and world travels Hamilton was inspired after working at a fast food restaurant during high school.
By Abigail Richardson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT “Everyone Has a Story” is a weekly segment in the Arizona Daily Wildcat that aims to tell the story of an interesting person on the UA campus. Lee Ann M. Hamilton, the assistant director of Campus Health Service, is known for promoting sexual health education and giving lectures where she has shown the durability of condoms by putting them over a football and using teddy bears to show how sexually transmitted diseases are passed, but her job encompasses much more than that. She also covers a wide variety of topics such as alcohol, general health and wellness, skin cancer, health and safety abroad, suicide prevention, first aid, and sleep education.

“Guys are more like microwaves and women are more like crock pots,” — Lee Ann Hamilton in an excerpt of SexTalk “I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was in high school, and they sent all of the cooks to a disease prevention conference on how to handle raw chicken safely,” Hamilton said. “It was done by a microbiologist from the county health department. We got paid to be there instead of working for minimum wage, cooking chicken and getting hot and
sweaty. I was just fascinated because this man talked about salmonella and how you have to be careful preparing, storing and serving the chicken.” After the conference, Hamilton approached the microbiologist and inquired about his job. “I thought it was really cool,” she said. “I changed my major to microbiology and then realized I didn’t really want to work in a lab. It occurred to me later, what I like about what that man did was he gave scientific information about preventing disease and about preserving health.” Hamilton is a Tucson native who graduated from the UA with a Bachelor of Science degree in health science and a master ’s degree in higher education. Before completing her degree, she took a year off of school to travel with a group called “Up with People” that
