SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899
Hart, UA community exchange insights By Brittny Mejia DAILY WILDCAT
Although the Arizona Board of Regents has yet to officially vote in UA presidential candidate Ann Weaver Hart, UA community members seemed optimistic about her chances during meetings held on Tuesday. Hart, accompanied by her husband, spoke with UA faculty, students and staff members for 30 minutes each, answering questions on a variety of topics, from guns
on campus to boosting student retention. She began the meetings by discussing her personal background and how she could apply it to solve problems at the UA. “Each experience I had gave me an understanding and a skill set that I believe, when I got to the know the regents and the search committee, really were issues facing the University of Arizona now,” Hart said. Following her speech, she opened the floor for questions, which she tried to answer with personal experiences. Once she gave her response,
she made sure the question was fully answered before moving on. “She’s very impressive and I think she’s got the requisite experience to help lead us during these difficult times,” said Alex Chiu, chief of otolaryngology in the department of surgery. “I think the fact that she’s been in the dance for a while and has had experience with a large institution is a great thing for us.” When asked about what kinds of challenges she will face by coming to a new university, Hart said she would have to develop a trusting
relationship with students and members of the faculty and staff. “To do the job I want to do, I need to feel your support,” Hart told faculty members. “Not that you agree with me, but that as we work together, there’s a sense that you’re comfortable communicating with me and charging me to act on your behalf for the good of the university.” Following her meeting with the faculty, James Allen, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, praised the
philosophy she could bring to the UA, as well as her understanding of student priorities, when he introduced her to student attendees. “I’ve looked at her resume and it’s quite impressive what she’s done medical school-wise at Temple,” said Leo Yamaguchi, a senior studying physiology and nutritional sciences. “She did an awesome job and hopefully she’ll do that here as well, and help out everyone across the board.”

Safe Ride driver Julia Black, a religious studies sophomore, delivers students to destinations within a 1.5-mile radius of the UA campus. Black has been working for Safe Ride for about a year. On April 7, 2011, during last year’s Spring Fling, Safe Ride picked up a record number of 1,019 passengers.
Safe Ride drives down the risk ASUA service employs 45 undergraduates to shuttle students to, from campus By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT
S
afe Ride driver Julia Black, a religious studies sophomore, knows the streets around campus like the back of her hand. “My friends call me a GPS,” Black said while driving to pick up a passenger during a double shift on the job. “I usually get calls from them all the time asking where certain apartment complexes are because they know that I will know.” It’s Sunday night and, in the last 45 minutes, Black has picked up and dropped off five students
traveling to and from campus. For the past year, Black has been a driver for Safe Ride, a car service provided by Associated Students of the University of Arizona that offers students an alternative to walking alone at night. In her time working there, Black said she has met an array of people and has had a handful of strange experiences. “I’ve gotten proposed to a few times, which has been really interesting,” Black said. “There is no one type of person who uses Safe Ride, everyone does. I think that is what makes this job fun — because you get to see such a slice of life from everyone.” Safe Ride has been a part of the UA since 1982 when it began taking passengers with one loaned vehicle and a small volunteer staff. Today, the service operates on grants and student fees from
the UA and employs a staff of 45 undergraduates. It owns six sedans, four minivans and two compact cars. “I think Safe Ride is great for students to have as a campus job,” Black said. “You learn a lot, you get to hear a lot of on-campus gossip, which is funny and you leave with some really good stories.” For Black, a typical shift begins when a student calls to request a ride and is connected to an operator in the Safe Ride office, located in the Student Union Memorial Center. Those who work in the office take down the caller’s location and the number of people they are traveling with. Safe Ride regulations dictate that vehicles carry up to three passengers; any more, and another car has to be requested.

Pinkberry’s two-day opening celebration was met by students, faculty and staff lining up and out the restaurant’s doors on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, a few hundred people were invited to try Pinkberry for free at a “Friends and Family and VIP event.” There were balloons, music and booths set up outside of the Student Union Memorial Center to prepare students for its opening. Rachel Pergamit, a junior studying environmental and water resource economics, and Leslie Wilt, a Near Eastern studies senior, both work at Core and were invited to the VIP event. “They catered training day and that was the first time I had ever tried it. But I definitely had to come to try it again. I wouldn’t turn down free ice
cream,” Wilt said. On Tuesday, Pinkberry officially opened to the public and students lined up to taste it. Ken Kastenhuber, senior dining services supervisor, predicted thousands of people would try the frozen yogurt by the end of the day. Signs were put up in the union last semester announcing Pinkberry’s arrival at the UA. Jianne Johnson, retailing dining service manager, said that the yogurt shop took about a year to plan and build. Johnson said the university was completely responsible for bringing Pinkberry to the UA. She declined to comment on how much money it cost to bring Pinkberry to the university, but said it was “a great investment.” Five hundred students applied to work at Pinkberry. These students

Pinkberry opens first Arizona location at UA, sees long lines By Rachel Gottfried
Fewer than 24 hours after competing in the 5K at the Millrose Games in New York City, UA distance runner Stephen Sambu received a phone call from his father in Kaptagat, Kenya. The call came for good reason — Sambu and fellow Arizona distance runner Lawi Lalang had record-setting performances that were broadcast on airwaves around the world. “My father said, ‘We heard about you and Lawi all over the radio, they said you broke records,’” Sambu said. Lalang, a sophomore, and Sambu, a senior, were invited to race individually in the 5K at the Millrose Games in New York City last weekend, which is one of the most prestigious track and field events in the country and had the largest audience and best competition that either athlete has faced in college. The competition was blown away. Lalang and Sambu broke the 3-year-old NCAA record of 13:18.02 with times of 13:07.15 and 13:13.74. According to Lalang and Sambu, a chain reaction led to achieving such a quick pace. “It’s really nice having Lawi there, we push each other to go faster,” Sambu said. “We motivate each other. I am happy for him and he is happy for me.” UA volunteer assistant coach Bernard Lagat eventually won the race, setting a U.S. record with a time of 13:07.15, and both Lalang and Sambu took turns running in the lead for stretches of the race.

Regardless of Tuesday’s rainy weather, more than 100 guests joined hands to form a human chain meant to symbolize standing in solidarity for compassionate patient care. The human chain was formed at the second annual Solidarity Day for Compassionate Patient Care in the Arizona Health Sciences Plaza. “Where there is love for medicine there has to be love for humanism,” said Alok Patel, president of Gold Humanism Honor Society and fourth-year medicine student. Volunteers held up banners with the seven attributes of humanism in medicine — integrity, excellence, compassion, altruism, respect, empathy and service. The seven pillars represent the main assets that govern the humanism society and interacting with patients, according to Patel. The Gold Humanism Honor Society is a national organization that celebrates these pillars of humanistic patient care
in medicine. It has organized an annual day to commemorate the humanistic spirit of patient care. “We can’t control change and we can’t control complex systems, but today we signify the one thing we can control, the sanity of the patient and practitioner relationship,” Patel said in his opening speech. The event started with staff, faculty and students filling out a card with the names of colleagues who demonstrate humanism in medicine and descriptions of humanistic acts. “Humanism is just as important as knowing what medicine to describe or how to perform a surgery, because the definition of a good practitioner or a doctor includes being caring, compassionate, and putting the patient in the center of everything we do,” said Andreas Theodorou, Critical Care section chief and professor of pediatrics. Upon entering, purple ribbons were handed out to guests by Sigrid Gardner, a fourth-year medicine student, as a symbol of humanism recognition. Solidarity for Compassionate
Patient Care was held by the Gold Humanism Honor Society to recognize those with humanism as well as pay tribute to all compassionate caregivers. The organization recognizes individuals who exemplify humanistic patient care and inspire humanism in others. “You can be the smartest person in the world, but if you don’t have the elements for humanism such as being compassionate, you are not going to be a good physician,” said Kevin Moynahan, deputy dean for education. “Because so much of what we do is based on our relationship with our patients in trusting us. If we don’t have that trust, there is no way we can bond with them and give them the proper care they deserve.” After speeches by Theodorou and Moynahan, the event featured a choral performance by Doc-Apella, a musical group of UA medical students. The event ended with readings of poetry by Jason Patel, a second-year medicine student, and cards from the display boards that tell stories of patients.

“I deal with the people on the phone and try to get them on a route that is most convenient,” said Safe Ride operator Lo Bannerman, a junior studying nutritional sciences and psychology. “I like working here, we’re kind of like a family.” After the call has been received and logged, a radio dispatcher informs a Safe Ride driver. Eight to 11 cars are typically used during regular operating hours, and each vehicle is given a nickname to help differentiate which ones are on route. “We have two cars called Luke and Leia and minivans named Ashley and Mary-Kate,” Black said. “We also have a car named Van Gogh that we think would be fitting if it lost a side mirror.” Black said all cars used by Safe Ride drivers are on a first come, first serve basis, so she tries to arrive at work early enough to get some of the newer cars with a working stereo and CD player. During busy nights like Thursdays, all vehicles are in use by Safe Ride drivers. Safe Ride picked up a record number of 1,019 passengers on April 7, 2011, the Thursday of Spring Fling. “Thursdays are definitely hands down, without a doubt the busiest out of the whole week,” Bannerman said. “It’s crazy, but I can imagine Fridays would be busy too but we close early at 9:30.” Economics freshman Alan Jaske said he uses Safe Ride frequently to get to his apartment located on Oracle Road, and that he has noticed Thursdays are a busy night as well. “I know that if I call on a Thursday for

Vol. 105, Issue 99 The Daily Wildcat is an independent student newspaper published Monday through Friday during the fall and spring semesters at the University of Arizona. It is distrubted on campus and throughout Tucson with a circulation of 10,000. The function of the Daily Wildcat is to disseminate news to the community and to encourage an exchange of ideas.

a ride it might take me longer than usual to connect with the operator,” Jaske said. “I also know that because I live on the edge of the boundary, I’m usually the last to be picked up and dropped off.” Safe Ride provides its services within a 1.5-mile radius of the campus. The zone shrinks to about a mile away from campus 20 minutes before Safe Ride closes. Because it is a service used to promote a safe commute to and from campus during school days, Safe Ride is not open on Saturdays. Drivers also have the right to deny a passenger service if they do not follow the Safe Ride rules or appear intoxicated. Black said she has never denied a person a ride since working for Safe Ride and that, for the most part, these occurrences rarely happen. “I heard of other drivers getting to that point or almost getting to that point when they could not take a student,” Black said. “But it’s usually because they are not respecting the rules more than anything else.” Whenever a passenger leaves Black’s car, she makes a point of wishing him or her a good night before driving off to pick up another, she said. “I love getting to talk to people and learned so much about our campus and the makeup of our students,” Black said. “I have a great job.”

In a world where splitting monthly bills is commonplace, a business management senior is crafting a tool to make asking for money a little easier. Z-Split, a website that could be used to send users a notification when it’s time to pay the bills, aims to avoid awkwardness and tension between roommates when it comes time to collect money for shared expenses. The site would automatically transfer funds between roommates, and entire households could view bills and receipts, keep track of individual expenses and pay their share. “When you go up to your roommates and you ask them for that $50 electricity bill, they’ll be like, ‘OK, I’ll give it to you later,’ and then you have to ask again and again and they never do,” said Matthew Garten, creator of the site. “Now you are creating a bad relationship with friends because of money.” Z-Split would give users a way to ask for money that gets the point across without requiring any direct contact with roommates, Garten said. No longer will users have to worry about the monthly burden of money collection, he added. Casey Kell, an architecture student, lives in a house with five other people.

utilities bill. Kell rarely sees his roommates because of their different schedules, which creates a hassle for many students going through the trouble of dividing the bill, he said. “If there was one centralized location where everything was organized and totaled for us to let us know how much we each owe, it would make things simple,” Kell said. “Now it’s just in one place where you can find it and if someone feels uncomfortable asking for money, it would definitely work and take that awkwardness away.” Through a little marketing on Facebook and Twitter, Garten has met more than 300 users interested in using the site and received more than 1,000 views on the site page. This clearly shows an interest in the idea, he said. “I want it (the site) to be used in the whole country, not just within UA students, and it can even be used in a home where parents might want to teach their kids how to pay bills,” Garten said. Whether with roommates or friends, money is always a sensitive subject, said Jared Gross, a sociology senior. The site will definitely make it easier and faster for students to pay their bills, and at the same time take away the awkward encounters between friends, he added.

were invited to a three-day audition process where they were split up in groups of 10 to 12. The students had to introduce each other, participate in a marketing strategy exercise and create a 30-second commercial. Pinkberry hired 40 of these students. “We have a bunch of excited team members that are ready to bring swirly goodness to the university,” Kastenhuber said. This is the first Pinkberry to open in Arizona, but many students are already familiar with the yogurt shop. “There are a lot of students that come from California, and Pinkberry is very popular there. We hope that by bringing Pinkberry to the university, we are able to bring a piece of home for West Coasters,” Johnson said. Cameron Wiggins, a microbiology junior from Southern California, said he was excited to have Pinkberry at the UA. “I’ve been to Pinkberry a bunch of times back home,” he said. “It is most definitely exciting.

Pakistan still holds bin Laden family months after US raid Mcclatchy tribune
ISLAMABAD — The family of Osama bin Laden’s youngest wife has asked the chief justice of Pakistan to order authorities to release her children and her and allow them to return to Yemen, nine months after the U.S. special forces raid that killed the al-Qaida founder. Zakaria Ahmad al-Sadah, brother of Amal alSadah, bin Laden’s Yemeni wife, said in an interview that he’d appealed directly to the activist chief justice, Iftikhar Chaudhry, as a “last resort” after spending three fruitless months in Pakistan seeking her release. Al-Sadah said his sister’s five children were in poor mental health and had received no schooling since they were taken into custody after the raid May 2. He also said that a gunshot wound his sister had suffered in her knee during the raid hadn’t been treated properly and that she still couldn’t walk. A Navy SEAL shot her as she apparently tried to shield bin Laden. The U.S. raiding party took bin Laden’s body from the hideout in Abbottabad but left behind Amal al-Sadah and her children, as well as two other wives and four other children, who Zakaria
Ahmad al-Sadah said were bin Laden’s grandchildren. The petition comes as Pakistan’s Supreme Court and its chief justice have inserted themselves into several controversial cases, including successfully ordering the military’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, the nation’s premier spy agency, to produce seven prisoners this week whom the agency had been holding secretly. “I put between your hand the issue of Osama bin Laden’s family (children and women) who passed upon their illegal disappearance in Pakistan more than eight months with Pakistani authorities despite they are innocent, and which consider against all the human rights and justice laws in the world,” al-Sadah’s written appeal reads in broken English. “This enforced disappearance deteriorated the children health and their psychological trauma due to their Abbottabad event,” the petition says. Al-Sadah lodged the two-page petition with the Supreme Court last Thursday. A 24-year-old student at the University of Sanaa in Yemen’s capital, he said he’d been allowed to meet with his sister and the children about 10 times since he’d arrived

UA presidential candidate Ann Weaver Hart speaks during a public session. Hart met with students, faculty and staff members on Tuesday in an effort to acquaint herself with the UA community.
There was not enough time to answer every question, but Hart attempted to answer as many as possible. She also offered advice to students and leaders. Students should join in on the commitment to community, the opportunity to use what they are learning to be an integral part of the community, and to seek ways to advocate for the community as well, Hart said. In her last meeting of the day, Hart spoke with appointed personnel and classified staff. “I’m excited that we might have a woman as president,” said Melody Buckner, instructional design specialist. “I think women bring a different perspective and I’m really excited to see what she’s going to do at the University of Arizona.” Hart said she found the meetings to be informative and insightful. “People … have been extremely warm and welcoming,” Hart said. “I feel very, very honored and excited to be a part of the Arizona team.”
in Pakistan on Nov. 1. Al-Sadah said that his sister, her children and the other wives and children were being kept under de facto house arrest in a small Islamabad apartment that was sparsely furnished and had little or no natural light. He said Pakistani security personnel guarded the apartment. He declined to disclose its precise location. He said the children were so traumatized that “I had to teach them how to smile.” His sister, who’s now 31, married bin Laden in or around the year 2000. Their oldest child, Safiya, aged around 12, reportedly was cradling her wounded mother when Pakistani officials reached the compound in Abbottabad just after U.S. forces had left. Al-Sadah identified his sister’s other children as Ibrahim, about 8; Asia, around 7; Zainab, around 5; and Hussain, around 3. Throughout his jihadist career, bin Laden kept his family with him. The two youngest are thought to have been born in the Abbottabad house. Safiya was conceived when they lived in Afghanistan before the 9/11 attacks. It’s unclear where Ibrahim and Asia would have been conceived.

Censoring professors coddles students Rebecca Miller
Daily Wildcat
T
he Arizona Legislature is weighing a proposal, dubbed the “G-rated” bill, that threatens to censor Arizona’s college campuses in an attempt to clear out pottymouthed professors. Most students in college are 18 or older, legally able to vote or buy cigarettes, lottery tickets, porn and alcohol. In other words, college students are adults. So why is the Legislature so concerned with adult content and language in college classrooms? Republican state Sen. Lori Klein introduced Senate Bill 1467, which will affect “any person who provides classroom instruction in a public school.” If it passes, schools will be required to suspend or fire any instructor who “engages in speech or conduct that would violate the standards adopted by the Federal Communications Commission concerning obscenity, indecency and profanity if that speech were broadcast on television or radio.” On the first offense, schools would be required to suspend the instructor for a minimum of one week. On the next offense, the suspension must last for at least two weeks. On the third offense, schools would have to terminate the instructor’s employment. The bill affects all levels of education, from public preschool programs to state universities. It is completely understandable that these guidelines should apply to preschool programs, kindergarten and grade schools because those students are underage and, for the most part, under the guardianship of their parents. Regulating the freedom of speech and information in college classrooms is a different matter. John Curtis, director of research and public policy for the American Association of University Professors, told Inside Higher Ed that the bill is “probably unconstitutional” and “seems fundamentally inconsistent with the whole idea of higher education and academic freedom.” College is a place to grow and experience life away from parents, and this bill takes the university student and professor back to high school. What’s next? Will college students get detention for running in the halls or being late to class? How about a dress code or uniforms? “The Canterbury Tales,” “The Catcher in the Rye,” “Ulysses” and pretty much every work by William Shakespeare would be prohibited from instruction due to the subject matter and content, according to the Huffington Post. The bill goes further than just censoring the classroom, however. As it is written now, the legislation does not differentiate between the classroom and elsewhere, so if a professor utters an obscenity outside of the classroom, he or she could still be in jeopardy of being suspended or fired. The Federal Communications Commission regulations inspired the bill’s guidelines, meaning anything that can’t be viewed or said on TV wouldn’t be allowed in classrooms. No one wants to go to the Disney version of college. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, and legislators should not have influence over professors’ employment status. Professors shouldn’t have to worry about offending their adult students with adult content. Arizona legislators need to stop treating college students like children and professors like baby sitters. — Rebecca Miller is a junior studying photography and journalism.

“Law change exposes male-based culture”
“College, Cardio and Carrots: Losing the weight in college”
“Proposition 8 overturned”
The controversy over President Obama’s new contraception law reveals a flaw in our society — we live in a patriarchy. On Friday, Obama announced a compromise on his administration’s new contraception rule in order to accommodate religiously affiliated employers. The new rule moves the responsibility of paying for and providing contraception from employers to insurers. Obama’s accommodation is reasonable. It shows he is self-aware, humble and apt to listen and learn. It is also good politics, as it defuses the sort of hot-button, culture war controversy conservatives love to exploit. Whose business is women’s sexual and reproductive freedom? As in most cases, it’s appropriate to invoke Lady Gaga. We look to her song “Scheiße.” Scheiße is translated most literally as “shit.” The first line of Scheiße is, “I don’t speak German but I can if you like.” The word “you” references men, implying that the pressures of patriarchal society are such that women feel a constant need to please and appease men in order to feel worthy, purposeful and valuable. Women are at the mercy of male decision-makers and the society in which we live is still predominantly patriarchal, as reflected by Obama’s accommodation of the Catholic church, whose hierarchy is strictly male. Gaga continues, “Put on a show tonight, do whatever you like. Scheiße, Scheiße, be mine; Scheiße, be mine.” That women assume inferior roles and are made to “do whatever” men ask is the implication here. Although Obama’s decision was mostly sound, the problem is the culture in which that decision was made — one where men with a regressive conception of power influence an issue of female freedom so that the president is forced to change his mind. That culture is what needs to be rethought. — Jake Rush, Feb. 14 issue
When the freshman 15 turns into the sophomore 20, the junior 30 or the senior 50 — you’ve got a serious problem on your hands. During college, we’re so focused on feeding our minds that we can ignore what we’re feeding our stomachs. And before you know it, your weight can slip out of control. That’s what happened to me. Personally, weight has been a life-long battle, except for a brief point in high school where I dropped tons of weight magically due to unhealthy methods like skipping meals and dehydration. But when college came, I gained significantly more than those dreaded 15 pounds. As the years went on, I noticed the problem getting worse. But my excuse was always, “I’m too busy to deal with that right now.” With a full plate of classes, internships, extra curricula and a social life, weight loss was not my biggest priority. It all came to a boil when I realized that my weight was affecting my everyday life, which was a first for me. I’ve always had friends, never been teased and avoided all physical activities that might result in embarrassment. Last semester, I noticed that my dress size had ballooned to 3XL. I would pause to catch my breath after climbing a small flight of stairs. I was eating out every day. And worst of all, I had trouble fitting in the desks in lecture halls. It was a “how did I let this happen?” kind of moment. … Symbolically, college might be the perfect time to reclaim your life. As you transition to adulthood, you leave behind a younger, more naive self. You might as well leave behind that weight you never want to see again. — Amanda Moutinho, Feb. 7 issue
The church bells aren’t ringing yet for samesex couples in California, but a federal court of appeals ruled Tuesday that Proposition 8, the ballot measure banning same-sex marriages, was unconstitutional and should be repealed. By a vote of 2-to-1, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided to enforce the ruling of the nowretired U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker who struck down Proposition 8 and concluded that gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marriage. Tuesday’s ruling, however, did not seem to consider the federal right of same-sex couples to marry, referring instead to the violation of the 14th Amendment, which says that no state law may limit the rights of it citizens. Should the case be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court as it is expected to, however, I would wager Proposition 8 will likely be found unconstitutional again, albeit not by unanimous decision. With the Ninth Circuit’s narrow focus on the violation of the Constitution by a Californian ballot measure, even if the case isn’t appealed further, the impact would only apply to California and not change federal law against the recognition of same-sex marriages under the Defense of Marriage Act. Regardless, should California become yet another state to recognize same-sex marriages by state law, it would certainly move forward, if not increase, the momentum started with New York’s removal of its own marriage laws in June of last year. By next year, expect to hear wedding bells in the California air. — Lucas Bensley, Feb. 8 issue
Oxygen’s pros offset FDA rules Ashley T. Powell Daily Wildcat
O
xygen bars should not have to operate under the same regulations as the cannabis industry. Regulations by the Food and Drug Administration classify substances used for breathing and administered by another person as a prescription drug, even if it’s just oxygen. Although the FDA has left enforcement of prescription drug laws up to individual states, allowing some oxygen bars to become licensed, they are technically in violation of FDA regulations. Recently, Tucson opened its first oxygen bar, Breathe, Drink, and Design. It is bizarre to think about oxygen being considered a prescription drug. People breathe oxygen naturally

because it’s everywhere. The air in Earth’s atmosphere isn’t pure oxygen, so oxygen bars provide breathing tubes of pure oxygen, which some users say provide a high. But asking for an oxygen prescription is like prescribing and regulating the distribution of pure water. On a daily basis, we inhale a minimal amount of oxygen. Breathe, Drink, and Design brings up that oxygen level while keeping it under the prescription oxygen level of 90 percent. “It blows people away that you’re breathing only 21 percent oxygen,” said Rafael Casillas, a graphic designer and employee at Breathe, Drink and Design. “Here it brings it up to about 60 percent.”
Casillas’ brother owns Breathe, Drink, and Design and works by his side during the week. According to Breathe, Drink, and Design’s website, oxygen bars first took off in Japan, Mexico and South America. These were all places where people were concerned about the air pollution and craved cleaner air. It wasn’t until the late 1990s that the oxygen bar craze hit North America. It is easy to tell that the U.S. has an air pollution problem just by looking at Arizona’s beautiful sunsets or trying to see the mountains through the smog in California. The oxygen provided at Tucson’s bar can be unscented, filtered through purified water, or a variety of scented choices. While some oxygen bars offer massages and an array of healthy foods, Breathe, Drink, and Design offers its customers a selection of herbal tea blends to help with the relaxation process as well as unique graphic design work. Possible benefits of oxygen bars include an increase in energy and stamina, reduction of stress and
muscle tension, increased alertness and focus, quicker recovery after workouts, and, particularly handy for the average college student, alleviation of the symptoms of hangovers, migraines, and sinus problems. “It’s a good pick-me-up,” Casillas said. “But I can understand how some may think it will have an effect on them. Everyone reacts differently.” Doctors may argue that we breathe in just the right amount of oxygen and inhaling an extra amount is not OK, unless it is medically necessary. But some students smoke cigarettes, marijuana and hookah, so inhaling oxygen is probably a safer habit. The pros for oxygen bars outweigh the cons. So, breathe in, drink up and enjoy the design, before this “prescription drug” is outlawed under state regulations. — Ashley T. Powell is a journalism sophomore.

POLICE BEAT By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT
Wrong way
University of Arizona Police Department officers noticed a female student who was staggering and struggling to walk at 11:30 p.m. on Thursday. Officers pulled over and made sure she was all right. They asked where she was coming from, and she said she came from a fraternity. Officers stopped down the street from the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity house, and officers speculated that she came from there. Officers asked the woman where she was going and she said she was walking “straight home” to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall. Officers told her that she was walking in the opposite direction of the hall. Once she realized she was walking the wrong way, she sat down on the curb. Officers cited the woman for a minor in possession of alcohol in body and was drove her to her dorm.
Puke patrol
UAPD officers were patrolling the campus when they saw a college student lying in the grass on the corner of Second Street and Vine Avenue at 10:50 p.m. on Thursday. Officers stopped their patrol car and looked for movement from the student, but the student did not move. The officers then approached the student and asked, “Are you OK, and what are you up to tonight?” The student replied, “I drank a little bit.” He told the officers that he was trying to get to his dorm on Highland Avenue, but could not make it. His eyes were bloodshot, his breath smelled like alcohol and he was barely able to keep his eyes open. As officers asked for further identification, the student “started to puke violently on the grass,” according to the officers. The student finished vomiting and said, “That was a bottle of Jameson at SAE (Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity).” The Tucson Fire Department was called to make sure the student did not need medical assistance. Officers cited and released the student to his friend from the fraternity.
Lost and found
A UAPD officer on patrol spotted two female students hiding behind a streetlight and a stop sign at 3:50 a.m. on Saturday. He pulled over and asked the women if they were all right. They said yes, and that they were hanging out at the Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall waiting for their friend. The officer told them that they were not near the dorm, but standing by Old Main. “We do not know how we got here then,” one of the women replied. When the officer smelled alcohol on their breath, the women acknowledged they had been drinking alcohol at a party off campus. The two women were cited for minor in possession of alcohol in body and were given a ride home to Colonia de la Paz.

How Do You Roll? sushi restaurant opened Monday, offering custom sushi options to the campus area.
READY TO ROLL How Do You Roll? brings second sushi restaurant to campus area By Alyssa DeMember Daily Wildcat
A new sushi restaurant that lets patrons call the shots debuted Monday. How Do You Roll? is an order-at-the-counter sushi restaurant with a variety of choices for your sushi roll, from soy wraps to rice to mangos to crawfish tails — and sushi eaters can choose any combination. How Do You Roll?, located on Speedway Boulevard just west of Park Avenue, is about a half a mile from the UA. Cream orange and kiwi green walls with swirling black designs and photographs of various food items give the space a contemporary edge. Small tables line the wall adjacent to the sushi counter and spherical lights above trail one after the other.
“A lot of college students really like sushi, but normally it’s so expensive,” said Brittany McGee, public relations and marketing associate for the franchise. “We’re really high quality but inexpensive.” Rolls cost on average $5 to $8, while a meal with drinks and sides included will run about $8 to $11. It’s also a healthy alternative to the usual fare, according to restaurant staff. The restaurant offers gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. People can go to a nutritional calculator on the How Do You Roll? website and calculate their meal’s calorie count based on the ingredients in each handcrafted roll, McGee said. Les White, How Do You Roll? franchise owner, said one of the strengths of the restaurant is that the

quality of its fish is on par with that of high-end sushi restaurants. In addition to a number of different veggie options, the restaurant offers a wide range of meat choices including raw tuna and salmon, and, for those worried about digging into raw meat, there are options like cooked chicken or unagi, a type of broiled eel. Whether you’re completely new to the sushi scene or an experienced veteran, this sushi joint is definitely worth rolling with.

Softball’s Spigner ended up at Arizona in hopes of regaining her passion for the sport By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat This year’s UA softball team has a potent mix of experience, youth and talent, which is the norm for a Mike Candrea-coached team. But there’s one thing that’s different from a typical Arizona team — some of the experience comes from outside the program. Jessica Spigner, a senior transfer from Tennessee, has had a roller coaster of a career. She’s “carried her high school team” to the tune of a national championship and been named to the EA Sports First-Team All-America list twice. As a freshman at Tennessee, she led the team in doubles, set the freshman record for home runs with 14 and was honored as an all-conference player in the SEC. Spigner’s sophomore and junior seasons were equally impressive, as she hit over .320 in each season with power to spare, having more extra base hits (28) than singles (22) her junior year, while hitting 24 home runs in her sophomore and junior seasons combined. What Spigner didn’t have, however, was a sense of family or a sense of home. Spigner, a Santa Clarita, Calif., native, grew up surrounded by the game. Her mother was one of her first coaches, and put her in a Tball league at an early age. Her influence, along with the influence of her high school coaches, made the game a part of Spigner’s daily routine. She was eating, breathing and

living softball. “I’ve grown up playing this sport, since T-ball, and listening to my coach talk about the game, about respecting the game, I’ve always wanted to play for a coach like that,” Spigner said. “I played for a coach like that in high school, my mom was also a coach like that. Being
around that really fuels the energy inside of me.” As a high school student, Spigner wanted to play for Candrea after meeting him at a camp, but the coaching staff had already filled its scholarship limit and was unable to extend an offer to her.
“She was at a couple of my camps,” Candrea said in a phone interview. “She was definitely a kid that I wanted very badly. I knew that she was a good player, but things didn’t quite work out and she went to Tennessee. We feel very fortunate she’s in a Wildcat uniform today.” Spigner headed to Tennessee, but
felt out of place. She was successful, but after “rough moments,” she transferred closer to her California home, citing personal reasons. After the move, Spigner said she wanted to fall in love with the game again. “I kind of fell out of love with it, but (then) I came here,” Spigner said. “Being around these girls, just being around a bunch of people who want the same thing is really refreshing. Being around people like me who will do anything and everything for this game, who love it, who don’t want it to end is a great feeling.” Her senior season is only six games old, but Spigner has already made an impact on the field for the Wildcats. In just 12 at bats, Spigner has already hit two home runs, driven in seven runs, and is batting .500. Defensively, she has a .958 fielding percentage — the second-highest on the team among players with 20 or more putouts. Spigner has even shown her versatility in the pitching circle despite admittedly disliking the position. Her lone appearance on the mound was a victory for the team in which she gave up only three hits and one run. Her willingness to do anything for the team is one of her best attributes as a player, Candrea said. “She brings a lot of experience, a lot of stability,” Candrea said. “She’s a fierce competitor, she’s been through the wars over the years, so nothing is going to faze her. She’s been a valuable piece to our puzzle.”
Mayes return depends on reaction to action By Nicole Dimitsios

WSU zone is call to action for UA’s 3-point shooting By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat Every team needs a zone-buster, a player who, no matter how stagnant the offense, can force an opponent out of that dreaded zone defense with his deadly shooting stroke. For Arizona, that player wears the number 24, usually sports a pair of Air Jordan XI Cool Greys and happens to be the third-most accurate 3-point shooter in the NCAA. Senior guard Brendon Lavender
has developed into the Wildcats’ zone-buster, and he’ll need to showcase that skill more than ever this Thursday against Washington State and its zone defense. “They play a tricky zone so we just have to stick to our plan so we can execute,” Lavender said. “We run a certain style of offense and usually it works so we’ll see what happens.” While that offense includes sideto-side ball movement, flashes to the

Daily Wildcat Injured guard Jordin Mayes is getting closer to returning to the court, Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller said on Tuesday. Miller said Mayes’ pain tolerance is improving, but the Wildcats are still cautious about how much Mayes will be able to contribute this weekend. “He’s made progress. He’s in a much better place right now than he was, but I don’t know if that is going to allow him to be with us this weekend,” Miller said. Mayes will make the trip to Washington and could possibly see playing time this weekend. “There is an outside chance that he could, but we’re going to wait until he’s pain free so we don’t put him at further risk,” Miller said. “Maybe he can play a little bit on Saturday, not on Thursday. But we’ll learn more and more over the next two or three days.” If the sophomore does play this weekend, he will see action against Washington, Arizona’s second opponent, rather than Washington State, which the Wildcats visit on Thursday. Mayes hurt his foot against Cal on Feb. 2, straining the screw used to repair his broken foot over the summer. The loss of Mayes brought the rotation down to just seven players for the Wildcats, forcing freshman guards Josiah Turner and Nick Johnson to split time at point guard. Miller said that, while it’s possible Mayes will see action on Saturday, it’s more likely that he’ll be ready to play next weekend. By the time USC and UCLA visit McKale Center, it will have been three weeks since Mayes’ injury occurred. Miller said Mayes’ timeline to return was favorable, assuming Mayes didn’t suffer a setback as part of increasing

Senior is driving force for baseball Rickard’s leadership, maturity complement All-Conference skill By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat While its seven returning starters will play a vital role for the Arizona baseball team as the season begins, perhaps no one will get the team going like junior outfielder Joey Rickard. “He’s just a really good player,” head coach Andy Lopez said. “The way you really appreciate Joey is if you see him in practice every day. He competes, he does things that makes coaching a very easy thing for us.” Last season, Rickard exploded offensively and was named a first team All-Pac-10 selection. He also led the nation in batting average for most of the season. Rickard finished off the 2011 campaign hitting .347, fifth best in the
Pac-10 Conference, and his 86 hits led the Wildcats and put him second in the Pac-10. Lopez said that, with numbers like last year, Rickard would have very few adjustments to make coming into this year. But the junior from Las Vegas wasn’t so sure. “There’s always a way to improve,” Rickard said. “I started off really hot last year, but I’d just like to be more consistent this year, maybe keep it through the whole season.” Lopez said he uses Rickard as a motivational tool for the entire team to follow. Every two or three weeks, he tells a few of his players to just watch Rickard, see what he’s doing and learn from him. His dedication is always palpable, especially during practice situations. “There’s days when we’re doing base running drills and Rickard will slide into third base,” Lopez said. “He

high post and an occasional screen for an open look, it often ends with a Lavender 3-pointer. Lavender has torched opposing zones this season when the Wildcats have needed him most. Arizona did, however, have a tough time dealing with Utah’s 2-3 matchup zone on Saturday to the tune of 8-for-24 shooting from the field in the first half. “They kind of threw us for a loop. I think guys just really didn’t try and key in on what would be open,” forward Solomon Hill said of Utah’s zone. “They just tried to throw different stuff at us.” But when Kyle Fogg, Nick Johnson and Lavender got hot, the zone was busted. With Arizona trailing 43-33, Lavender drilled a three against the Utes’ zone to cut the lead to seven. Three possessions later, Lavender nailed another 3-pointer off of a pass by Hill in transition and
Head track and field coach James Li said Arizona devised a plan that would give the trio of runners a chance at a historic performance. “We planned a pace and it was a pace that they could all run together,” Li said. “We were very happy to stick with the plan we mapped out, and they executed to a tee, it was amazing.” A record-setting performance wasn’t all that the
runners took away from competing at the highest level they’ve seen yet. Now they know what to expect as they ascend the distance-running ladder into the world’s most prestigious events. “The pace was so much faster,” Sambu said. “After that race, I feel like I am ready for the next level. I’m not scared. Nervous, maybe, but confident and ready.”
suddenly, the game was tied and Utah’s zone was no longer effective. “We were able to find him in open spots in the zone and he was able to get hot and that was the difference in the game,” Hill said of Lavender. “They couldn’t run zone anymore, they started to go more man. He really helped out a lot with that.” Lavender ended up knocking down four second-half threes and making UA’s zone struggles a distant memory. The senior did the same thing against Oregon State on Jan. 12, when he finished with 18 points on 6-for-7 shooting and 5-for-6 from three in only 19 minutes. The Beavers employed a 1-3-1 pressure zone that stifled Arizona for most of the game — until Lavender caught fire. With Arizona trailing 44-39 and just under 13 minutes left, Lavender made his first 3-pointer of the game in transition. Lavender went on to drill four more threes in the half, take Oregon State out of its zone and allow the Wildcats to win in overtime.
“Whenever I get that chance that’s what I want to do,” Lavender said. “Always being that spark off the bench is great.” He’ll get his chance against the Cougars. Although it hasn’t brought it great success, Washington State runs a 2-3 or 3-2 matchup zone similar to ASU’s defense. “It’s different for us because we usually play against the zones where they stay in one spot,” Lavender said. “With this one they kind of switch screens, guard you man but they’re in the same zone. It’s tough because you never really have anyone open.” Despite the differences, the onus is still on Lavender to help Arizona shoot the Cougars out of their zone. If the Oregon State and Utah games are any indication, he should have no problem finding the bottom of the net. “We’re going to see some zone against Washington State,” Hill said. “It’s about finding (Lavender) in transition to get him started then finding him in some of the seams.”
doesn’t need to do that, but it’s just who he is.” Rickard said he doesn’t think about his enthusiasm, it just comes as a natural byproduct of his love for the game. “I don’t do it for any reason,” Rickard said. “That’s just the way I play, it’s a good way to get everybody into it, and keeps everyone going smoothly.” Rickard’s dedication also fuels his teammates. “He definitely has a huge role,” preseason All-American shortstop Alex Mejia said. “Obviously having those seven guys come back is definitely reassuring, but Rickard is our lead off guy and I feel like he’ll set the tone early.” For Rickard, the key throughout his career has been to try and maintain his attitude, especially when things aren’t going his way, and he’s trying to show that to his younger teammates. “It’s pretty tough to keep the same approach day in and day out,” he said. “You go through slumps, you go through bad streaks, but we’re just trying to keep our poise and hopefully the younger guys will learn from that.” As far as what Rickard needs to do when the season starts on Friday, Lopez said there’s just one thing: “He just needs to be Joey Rickard. He’s bigger, he’s stronger, and he’s a lot more physical. He just needs to be Joey Rickard.”

practice activity. Junior Solomon Hill said he’s seen Mayes shooting and doing “little workouts” as part of the Wildcats’ plan to increase the guard’s activity. Miller said the coaching staff was being cautious with the speed of his recovery and keeping a close eye on Mayes’ pain tolerance. “We get to a certain point and he experiences some pain and then we shut him down,” Miller said. Senior guard Brendon Lavender has seen increased minutes as a result of Mayes’ injury. He averaged nearly 23 minutes over Arizona’s last three games and made an impact with 12 points in the Wildcats’ win over Utah. He still plans to get in his minutes when Mayes returns, but said the Wildcats need Mayes’ experience running the point as Arizona makes a push for the postseason. “Mayes is a huge factor in the game,” Lavender said. “We really need him right now, and, unfortunately, he’s hurt.”
