diverse perspectives” to the board, according to Milward.

“We will soon be organizing to bring together a very diverse group of individuals,” Milward said.

Milward put off answering the question of how much money will be needed for the institute. He explained that they need a core staff, and are already “very lucky to have marvelous office space” for the institute.

“One of the things we want to do is to collaborate with groups like this all over the country,” Milward said. “This is one institute. Tucson is one place. Arizona is one state. We need to collaborate with groups all across the country.”

He added that they have considered the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, but that there are many schools and groups across the nation and within Arizona to which they would like to reach out.

“I think we need to be realistic about what can be accomplished,” DuVal said. “I don’t think that the success of this institute can be measured by whether or not we dramatically change every piece of political debate that takes place in the country.

“What is realistic is to create enough conversation among more thoughtful and respectful people in as many places in the country as possible. That those people who do politics will see political reward in changing their behavior.”

Put together in a matter of weeks in response to the president’s call for civility, the National Institute for Civil Discourse, headquartered at the UA, debuted on Monday.

The National Institute for Civil Discourse is a non-partisan center designed to advance civility in political discourse. The institute will support debate, research, education and policy.

The National Institute for Civil Discourse is slated to be housed in the UA’s School of Government and Public Policy, but will also affiliate with the Rehnquist Center on the Constitutional Structures of Government in the James E. Rogers College of Law and other departments from all over the University.

“Just five weeks ago and just five blocks away, our 44th president called upon us to craft a country in a democracy worthy in the hopes of Christina Taylor Green,” said Fred DuVal, vice chair of the Arizona Board of Regents and the man who came up with the idea for the institute.

“We here uniquely know what you meant and we here begin that work.”

“It’s ironic it’s Presidents Day,” DuVal said. Former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush will serve as honorary chairs. Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and former U.S. Senate

New act protects health insurance Students can’t be denied coverage or lose funds

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students will no longer have to worry about having their health insurance coverage capped or taken away altogether, thanks to new provisions of the Affordable Care Act. These new consumer protections were announced Feb. 9, according to a recent press release by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The new proposal guarantees that no limits will be imposed on the amount of money spent on health benefits, there can be no arbitrary rescissions of insurance coverage and students under the age of 19 will have no pre-existing condition exclusions, according to the press release. The Affordable Care Act also provides market stability while ensuring affordable health plans.

“Overall, many of these changes are good changes, but they do HEALTH CARE, page 2

Fred DuVal, vice chair of the Arizona Board of Regents, holds a press conference on Monday at the James E. Rogers College of Law to announce the new National Institute for Civil Discourse. The center will be chaired by former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush.

Majority Leader Tom Daschle will serve as honorary co-chairs.

“Our country needs a setting for political debate that is both frank and civil, and the National Institute for Civil Discourse can make a significant contribution toward reaching this goal,” Bush said in a press release.

More than 50 UA faculty members who do research, community service and teaching related to civil discourse have already been indentified throughout the university, said Brint Milward, the

director and providence service corporation chair. One of the institute’s first tasks is to bring these people together around the effort.

The institute will draw on faculty and expertise from the College of Education, psychology department, School of Journalism, history department and many other disciplines, according to Provost Meredith Hay. Milward and professor Sally Rider from the Rehnquist Center on the Constitutional Structures of Government at the James E.

Q& A Daniel Hernandez

Candidate cites political experience, past ASUA involvement for running

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Daniel Hernandez is one of three men running for president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. He is a political science junior.

Daily Wildcat: What made you decide to run for ASUA president?

Hernandez: I started thinking about running last August. I was a campaign manager for two years, including Emily Fritze’s campaign. I am experienced with ASUA elections and the elections process, and I know the ASUA office really well.

People approached me about running their campaign, but none of them were really all that

prepared. A lot of the people who wanted to do it didn’t know all the different parts of being president. I know all the parts.

After the state elections in November, I saw how hostile the state legislature had become and a difficult year ahead.

I know I am the best candidate because of my experience and passion. I am really involved at the state capitol and at the UA. I was very involved with helping Proposition 100 get passed, which had a direct effect on students.

Without it, there would have been massive cuts to universities and a tuition increase.

I don’t think anyone else is as qualified because I know the issues.

Conference to address crisis communication

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A conference at the BIO5 Institute will offer insight into Tucson’s communication network through lessons learned from the Jan. 8 shooting at a Safeway that killed six people, including federal Judge John Roll, and wounded 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.

The Crisis Communication in Action: Tucson in the International News conference will feature speakers from the UA, KGUN 9-ABC Affiliate, US Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ Office, the Arizona Cancer Center, Arizona Public Media and the Arizona Health Sciences Center.

The event is hosted by the International Association of Business Communicators’ Tucson chapter and the Public Relations Society of America’s Southern Arizona chapter.

Students will pay a reduced rate of $20 while International Association of Business Communicators members will pay $30 and non-members will pay $40.

HEALTH CARE continued from page 1 not come without a price,” Kris Kreutz, the director of administrative services at Campus Health Service, wrote in an email.

“Therefore, it is very important to encourage both healthy and less healthy (people) to participate in the program in order to favorably affect (help balance) the expense associated with these changes in participation and coverage.”

The majority of UA students have some form of health insurance, Kreutz wrote.

About 20 percent of all college students do not have any form of health insurance coverage, according to national studies.

“This percentage is consistent with information that has been intermittently collected at the three state of Arizona universities,” he wrote.

Health insurance is important to have for financial reasons, said Gianna Vicari, a sociology senior. Students are subject to getting hurt, and they need to be able to pay for it if there is an accident, she said.

“You shouldn’t have to pay to get better if it’s not your fault,” Vicari said. “If I got sick and had insurance, I wouldn’t pay for it myself.”

Vicari approves of the new consumer protections for college students. Everyone,

Check-in for the event will begin at 5:30 p.m., and a question-and-answer session is scheduled from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

including students, should have health insurance, she said.

Nick Zalewski, an aerospace engineering senior, uses his parents’ insurance and thinks students should have their own insurance if they don’t have that option.

In 2009, the percentage of people without health insurance increased 16.7 percent or to 50.7 million uninsured people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The need for health insurance coverage is necessary because anyone can become ill or injured unexpectedly, according to Kreutz.

“For the general population in the United States, the lack of health insurance coverage has become one of the top two reasons for having to declare bankruptcy,” Kreutz wrote. “Many students may not have considerable personal assets, however, having to declare bankruptcy because a lack of health insurance coverage is still very disruptive and is likely to be personally traumatizing.”

There were 10,920 bankruptcy filings in Arizona last year, including business and non-business filings, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute. The national total was 1,593,081 that year.

“Having health insurance coverage is both good for the individual as well as the health care system,” Kreutz wrote.

E-WEEK continued from page 1 “There’s going to be a little competition between Girl Scouts in their groups, and the clubs will be facilitating the activities,” said Kiona Meade, vice president of the Engineering Student Council and industrial engineering junior.

Most of the events only allow participation from club members but are open for the public to watch. The design challenge on the UA Mall on Friday may attract other students, Meade said.

“It’s kind of secretive until Friday at noon, but it will be interesting to watch,” Meade said.

Yang said many people do not recognize the role of engineers in society.

“I don’t think people know all the work that goes on in the background,” Yang said.

Yang said Engineers Week unites those students who will be going into the field after graduation.

“They’re going to be making things to help society and help people live,” Yang said. “It’s nice to have a week dedicated to that.”

HERNANDEZ continued from page 1 I drafted H.B. 2668, which, for the first time, allowed full-time students to be excused on election day to go vote, just like state employees.

We need someone next year with a clear vision as to all the things we are facing.

It wasn’t until after November that I decided, “I’m in it.” I know that I know how to win, and I know what to do with the position.

What has your journey in ASUA been like?

I’ve had a strange experience because, until this year, I have not been officially involved in ASUA because I have been working with ASA (the Arizona Students’ Association). I have always been around and been involved.

I was an ASA senior fellow and worked on policy, research and lobbied at the capitol.

As a freshman, I was an ASA intern and was really involved with UA Votes in 2008, which registered 4,500 students to vote in Arizona.

I’ve been able to keep an outsiders perspective of ASUA because I saw problems and issues that were a part of the organization without actually being a part of it.

I have a very critical viewpoint and see a lot of things that need improvement.

I also have a great relationship with a lot of the people currently involved in ASUA. If elected, what changes do you plan to make to the UA? I have a lot of ideas, so many that I can’t fit them all into my platform.

We need to work on accessibility towards and to the UA. I want to make a work-study bill, funded at the state level, that creates students jobs that are like internships in STEM programs. These positions ensure high quality opportunities for students with increased financial aid.

It would be really difficult to get passed, but I have the relationships at the state legislature to at least get it introduced.

I want to work on financial aid for students and increase ASUA revenue. ASUA has great programs that don’t meet their potential because they don’t have the funding.

A way to do this, for example, would be going into Safe Ride vehicles and advertising in them, there is a lot of space. I would have to figure out the legalities, but if we can sell the advertising, it could become self-depending, and therefore wouldn’t

I also want to create a tiered survey. This would survey freshman/sophomores and junior/seniors on different things to find out what students actually want and need.

It is good to get upper division feedback to see what has and hasn’t worked.

Lastly, we need a referendum on fees. I know it will be challenging, but we can do it. It has been done in the past and done by other universities.

We are students and we are getting a product: education. (The Arizona Board of Regents’) policy says we need student input for fees, and we need to start by getting a referendum. If students say they don’t need something by voting no, it sends a very clear message to the Board of Regents.

How are you feeling about the campaign process?

I am feeling really good. I am out there talking to students, and I’ve had the opportunity to talk to a lot of students all over the university and gotten positive feedback.

I am really happy that people are talking about the issues. Tuition is no longer the main issue, but the overall cost of attendance. This needs to be our focus next year. It is all the little things like campus housing, meal plans, etc. that add up and make the cost of coming to the university a real burden.

How are you feeling about your competition?

I think they are both great people, however I know that I am the best qualified. I have been doing this for years, and I am ready to fight battles at the capitol. I know my own qualifications, and I am the most qualified.

A lot of people are looking at you running as opportunistic since the Giffords shooting. How would you respond to that?

You have to look at my record.

This isn’t something I have been working towards since January, but since I was a freshman I have been dedicated to ASA. I have always been involved.

Sophomore year, I (was) dedicated to being up at the capitol, and I think I did a good job.

I am the only presidential candidate that can say I have helped (create) results that directly impacted students at the UA. I worked hard and diligently with Proposition 100.

I can see why people would be concerned, but I have made change instead of just promising it. I have made positive changes for the entire student body, and that is who I want to represent.

Infant dolphins dying in high numbers along Gulf Coast McClatchy Tribune

Thousands join Wisconsin labor protest McClatchy Tribune MADISON, Wis. — Thousands of people descended on the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison Monday to chant and sing, hoist signs and denounce Gov. Scott Walker for what they view as a direct assault on organized labor.

The union supporters withstood an ice-glazing storm that made walking treacherous and temperatures in the mid-20s that had them gladly jumping up and down during the musical portion of the demonstration.

“What’sdisgusting?Unionbusting,” was the preferred chant of the day.

It was the eighth straight day of protests at the Capitol as state government workers fight Walker’s proposal to drastically curtail the collective bargaining rights of the state’s union work force. Unions have agreed to the benefit and pension concessions demanded by Walker, but the limits on collective bargaining, a right won

by Wisconsin workers in 1959, have sparked a movement that has attracted outrage in the state and growing

national attention.

“This changed from budget cuts to flat out union busting,” said Paul Aird, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen in Fond du Lac. He was just one of many private sector unions that traveled to Madison to show their support for the state workers.

“I’m teaching the novel ‘1984’ right now where they try to keep the people stupid and out of power,” said Milwaukee high school teacher Katherine Katter. “I don’t want to live that here.”

Rallies were held outside the Capitol, where singers whipped up the crowd with songs made famous during the Vietnam War, the last time such large protests were seen in Wisconsin.

And hundreds more crowded into the Rotunda inside the state house, where protesters have set up camp for the last eight days, converting hidden cubby holes into rest areas, complete with folding chairs, sleeping bags and hundreds of donated (and now empty) pizza boxes.

GULFPORT, Miss. — Baby dolphins, some barely three feet in length, are washing up along the Mississippi and Alabama coastlines at 10 times the normal rate of stillborn and infant deaths, researchers are finding.

The Sun Herald has learned that 17 young dolphins, either aborted before they reached maturity or dead soon after birth, have been collected along the shorelines.

The Institute of Marine Mammal Studies performed necropsies, animal autopsies, on two of the babies Monday.

Moby Solangi, director of the institute, called the high number of deaths an anomaly and told The Sun Herald that it is significant, especially in light of the BP oil spill throughout the spring and summer last year when millions of barrels of crude oil containing toxins and carcinogens spewed into the Gulf of Mexico.

Oil worked its way into the Mississippi and Chandeleur

sounds and other bays and shallow waters where dolphins breed and give birth.

This is the first birthing season for dolphins since the spill.

Dolphins breed in the spring and carry their young for 11 to 12 months, Solangi said.

Typically in January and February, there are one or two babies per month found in Mississippi and Alabama, then the birthing season goes into full swing in March and April.

“For some reason, they’ve started aborting or they were dead before they were born,” Solangi said. “The average is one or two a month. This year we have 17, and February isn’t even over yet.”

Deaths in the adult dolphin population rose in the year of the oil spill from a norm of about 30 to 89, Solangi said.

Solangi is gathering tissue and organs for a thorough forensic study of the infant deaths and is cautious about drawing conclusions until the data is in, probably within a couple of weeks.

“We shouldn’t really jump to any conclusions until we get some results,” Solangi said.

“But this is more than just a coincidence.”

The institute told The Sun Herald that it has collected 14 infant dolphins in the last two weeks and three in Mississippi Monday.

The institute has done a number of the autopsies, but no trend has emerged yet.

“Of the two calves on the table today, one appears to have had trauma,” Solangi said. “It was a very small calf.”

But he said that trauma to the body often occurs after a baby has died because the mother or other dolphins try to get the baby to breathe.

“I don’t believe the calf died because something hit it,” Solangi said.

“Some of the trauma you see in a baby dolphin death is the result of the mother or other animals around it trying to get it back. They don’t realize it’s dead until sometime later,” he said.

Libya’s fate to be felt beyond its borders

Demostrators protest against the Libyan government outside the White House in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON—The bloody battle for control of Libya, where leader Moammar Gadhafi has turned his military forces loose on civilians, could have repercussions far beyond the isolated North African nation.

The collapse of Gadhafi’s regime after 42 years, which seemed possible Monday, could spur similar revolts across North African and Arab lands that so far have remained relatively unscathed by the anti-government fever sweeping the region, experts said.

“If it can be done here, it can be done anywhere in the Arab world,” said Ronald Bruce St John, who has studied Libya

Jessica Guynn/ Los Angeles Times (MCT)

for 30 years and written numerous books about the country. Ten days ago, he said, he wouldn’t have believed that popular anger might oust Gadhafi.

But if Gadhafi holds on, St John said, nearby regimes will draw the lesson that “you want to jump on hard with two feet” and brutally crush dissent before it spreads.

Isolated for decades under Gadhafi’s bizarre leadership and thinly populated outside major coastal cities, Libya has no strong strategic ties to the U.S. After decades of tension over Gadhafi’s support of terrorism, the two countries only re-established full diplomatic ties in 2006, after Libya voluntarily abandoned attempts to build nuclear arms.

Although U.S. companies developed Libya’s oil fields in the 1960s, the U.S. imports less than 1 percent of its oil from the country.

But Libya is a major oil and gas exporter to Europe — in particular to Italy, its former colonial overlord. A number of firms resumed or initiated roles in Libya’s growing petroleum industry after the United Nations and U.S. lifted more than a decade of economic sanctions in 2003 and 2004.

Many of those firms, including Italy’s Eni, the largest foreign operator in Libya, and BP, said Monday that their employees would leave the country.

Libya has the eighth-largest proven oil reserves in the world.

Council should oppose mini-dorms Andrew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

few weeks ago the Tucson City Council approved preliminary measures to limit the building of so-called “mini-dorms” in the historic Jefferson Park neighborhood.

For the past decade, homeowners in the neighborhood (which is located about a mile north of campus) have complained about the construction of mini-dorms, stating that they violate zoning laws and don’t match the rest of the neighborhood. This has led to a huge debate between residents and developers, as well as students who call these mini-dorms home. Frankly, the Tucson City Council and Mayor Bob Walkup should side with the residents of Jefferson Park.

Mini-dorms take away from the neighborhood and infringe upon the privacy of the homeowners. In all honesty, mini-dorms are extremely nice, and it’s easy to understand why students would want to live in them. They are ultramodern, beautiful on the inside and allow a student to live with four to six of their friends. They are truly the perfect place for a student to live. However, Jefferson Park is a neighborhood full of historic, single-family homes, and these huge two-story, 5-7 bedroom homes are an eyesore. In addition, a home with a large second story in a sea of single-story homes allows for students to easily look into the backyards of other residents, compromising their privacy.

Some argue that the homeowners in Jefferson Park knew they were close to a university when they bought their homes, and shouldn’t be complaining.

This would make sense if describing student behavior. After all, college students will be college students, but the residents had no idea that portions of their historic neighborhood were going to be bought up by developers and turned into mini-dorms. Something could be said about the constant demand for more student housing, but dotting historic neighborhoods with mini-dorms is not the correct way to go about it.

Tucson is a city that prides itself on its historic buildings. Tucson isn’t called the “Old Pueblo” simply because it was founded in 1775. Demolishing parts of neighborhoods that have been around since the early 20th century takes away from this historic feel. Perhaps future development should focus on downtown (in a few years, downtown and campus are to be connected by light rail) or the west side of town. A developer who focuses on mini-dorms, Michael Goodman, has been very critical of the neighborhood’s push for new building guidelines. In an article in the Feb. 16 Arizona Daily Wildcat, he stated that he’s “building projects that are nicer than anything in that neighborhood.” This, of course, is a matter of interpretation.

What Goodman finds to be ugly happens to be other people’s homes.

I doubt that they agree with his sentiments and probably find his condescending remarks quite offensive.

This isn’t about “nicer” homes being built in a run-down neighborhood.

Jefferson Park may be old, but it’s far from run-down. This issue is about neighborhood residents being able to live in the neighborhood they thought they were buying into, and not having to deal with eyesores like mini-dorms, which take away from the neighborhood’s history.

The Tucson City Council would be wise to side with the residents of Jefferson Park and ignore the loud cries from developers like Goodman, who couldn’t care less about the city’s history and are solely looking to profit from student’s desires. The homeowners in Jefferson Park will presumably be here much longer than mini-dorm residents, and, therefore, should have their concerns taken more seriously.

UA campus offers safe place for LGBTQ community

In the past month, Lady Gaga has released a new hit saying we’re all “Born this Way,” and a UA dean has been quoted on the front page as telling us that it’s “OK to be gay.” Overall, I think this country — and our campus — has made some great steps toward awareness as of late.

As we make these strides, people are coming out earlier and earlier thanks to some increased acceptance. Still, many places lack resources to help 15 year olds understand

their gender identity and sexual orientation.

Thankfully, our campus has several designated spaces for young people to go for advice, guidance and help. As an intern for Pride Alliance, I’ve handled my fair share of calls from teens across the country looking for help, and they’ve chosen this campus to call because we have a pretty good track record for equality. It means a lot when a kid from Pennsylvania calls us.

I’d like to remind everyone of our new housing option on campus: the Pride Community, to be hosted in KaibabHuachuca next year, is open to students who

identify as LGBTQ or allies. It’s another huge step towards ensuring all students are safe on campus, and the educational component of the wing will doubtlessly help people coming out or hoping to be better allies. Some may argue that it’s segregation (a debate that I will gladly have), but hopefully it will be another safe space on campus. If you know someone looking for somewhere to go or trying to find a friendly university, remind them of what our campus has to offer.

ONLINE COMMENTS On ‘ASUA passes gun resolution’

“’We’re not going to have people running around shooting people,’ said Robert Rosinski.”

This statement is completely absurd and shows your immaturity regarding this topic and probably others (hence why you want to be a part of ASUA). For your knowledge, if people wanted to “run around shooting people” as you put it, they could at any time and absolutely no injunction you write will control that. Now when we replace your statement with something like, “We do not feel that deadly weapons serve a purpose on our campus,” then I would allot you some credit.

Rather, what I want to see is an educated approach to this that recognizes the wants of some people to carry weapons onto a campus where they should not be allowed.

At least Mr. San Angelo can speak like a representative of our university should.

On ‘Police Beat: Feb 16’

This story “Student checked in to mental health facility” is so repulsive to everyone who really knows the situation. This is a college campus, and is it not the goal of the university to make the students (especially those who live in the dorms) feel safe and

comfortable? By publishing this without the student’s consent, and just getting the police report, you are adding to someone’s suffering. How do you think he feels with his private matters being spread to the world? Why would he ever seek help from authoritative figures, when they allow his personal information to be revealed? This is providing too much detail, and making an even more toxic environment for someone already going through a tough time. True there is a freedom of press, but who are you kidding, you’re just a shitty little college campus paper who is supposed to publish things representing the school.

Tucson killed the radio star Johnny Mackay

T

Arizona Daily Wildcat

here you are, boldly perched in the driver’s seat of your fly PT Cruiser, zooming down Speedway Boulevard with cool etched in your essence. You are nearing the fine culinary establishment of Wendy’s when you are accosted by a circle of red, and forced to dramatically decrease the speed of your roll. As the horrible disembodied voice (the most pretentious robotic presence since C-3PO) begins to tell you that the “walk sign is on,” a group of girls pulls up next to you. While your visual component is exponentially splendid, an audio accompaniment would really show these females how awesome you truly are.

You punch the volume up, roll down the windows, reach for the knob, and then …

Tucson radio. The girls drive away (running a red light apparently), because you just assaulted them with 500 decibels of blaring Mariachi music, or, if you’re luckier, one of Creed’s greatest hits. I’ve traveled the world and been to many exotic locales, but I’ve never found a worse radio selection than here in Tucson.

Sure, it hits most of the basic staples of radio-land. You have your Christian station, classical, angry heavy metal, country and rock. On paper, it’s a very thorough grouping of channels, sure to satisfy every subculture.

However, off the paper and in your eardrums, it is an abysmal failure of musical programming. While I’m sure it’s a massive boon for Sirius Radio salesmen based in Tucson, for everyone else, it’s a massive waste of airspace that could be used for better purposes, like government mind control.

First we have the Christian channel. This is actually the best station of the whole bunch, which is your first sign of trouble.

With absolutely no ill will toward the good Christian people (a little bit toward the question-askers on campus), your music is famously atrocious, and even you know it.

God himself gets jealous of the Dark Prince from time to time; the devil gets to rock out to Ozzy and the likes, while He has to jam on the same four major chords and redundant

“

What I yearn for is a hip, current, alternative, quality music station. I want to catch beats that make me want to dance, or sympathize with the world, or just transcend time and space and collapse into the allsurrounding womb of the music multi-verse.

Simple stuff like that.

”

lyrics. However, the station has impressive variety for its inherent musical handicap, and the DJs are always nice and upbeat.

It’s all downhill after that. Except for brief moments of scheduled brilliance (Friday night techno), the usual lineup leads you to scramble from channel to channel looking for quality, until you eventually settle for the least of all evils. The Lady Gaga/Ke$ha coalition has secretly purchased 93.7, and their monopolistic hive-mind has decreed

that no other music shall be played, under threat of cruel and probably extremely unusual punishment. At least when I want to hear “Tik Tok” I always know where it is, the amazing equivalent of having an iPod with two songs on it.

Let’s say I’m not in the mood for a drunk sociopathic diva though. Where can I avert my acoustic gaze? Almost nowhere. I could seek solace in the musical stylings of the classical music channel, which truthfully does transform a trip to 7-Eleven into a magnificent epic opus worthy of Valhalla.

Still, I don’t get any current pop culture points, and sometimes I would rather trivialize a mundane shopping trip than grandiose-ize it.

What I yearn for is a hip, current, alternative, quality music station. I want to catch beats that make me want to dance, or sympathize with the world, or just transcend time and space and collapse into the allsurrounding womb of the music multi-verse.

Simple stuff like that. However, after the aforementioned stations have been rejected, I am left with two choices: mindless filler rock and mariachi music.

Mindless filler rock is a phenomenon that pervades most “alternate” music rock stations in Tucson. It is not classic enough to be classic rock, and it’s not nearly dynamic enough to be good music. It is airspace occupying beats and chords; it is Hinder, Nickelback, 30 Seconds to Mars. It’s music that doesn’t explore new horizons, rise above simple concepts, or feature anything more interesting than a “grungy” singer with long hair crooning about love, drugs or both. Having to sit through 10 of these in order to get to anything of worth negates the entire station.

This, of course, then leaves us with one option: mariachi music. Learn to love it, or this is going to be a very long stay in T-town.

policebeat

By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat

Pissing away dreams

A male UA student was cited for minor in possession, criminal damage and criminal littering after urinating on a police vehicle on Feb. 12 at 11:07 p.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer leaving the “Brochella” party, shut down at Sigma Chi fraternity at 10:58 p.m., was walking into the parking lot just west of the fraternity house when he observed a man through the glass of one of the four police vehicles in the lot.

The student was standing on the driver’s side of the police vehicle and the officer could see what appeared to be a spray of water going on one of the windows of the patrol vehicle.

The officer noticed a puddle of water flowing on the ground toward the rear of the vehicle as the officer approached the car.

The officer heard the student run from behind the vehicle while buckling and zipping his pants.

“I just pissed all over that cop car!” the student said as he ran into a crowd of people. “It’s going to be nice and smelly when it gets toasty!”

When the officer approached the student and removed him from the crowd, the student immediately began apologizing for urinating on the vehicle and said it was a stupid thing to do because he aspired to be a police officer.

The officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol on the student’s breath and saw that the student had watery eyes.

The officer asked if the student had been drinking and the student admitted to drinking at a Sigma Chi pre-event party offcampus.

The student wouldn’t identify who supplied the alcohol and could not remember the party’s location.

The student had urinated on the driver’s side window, the left rear passenger window, the driver’s door, the left rear passenger door and the door handle of the police vehicle.

The officer arrested the student for minor in possession, criminal damage and criminal littering. The student was handcuffed, searched and booked into Pima County Jail.

The student was referred to the Dean of Students Office for a code of conduct violation.

Belligerent student gets fresh with officer

A male UA student was charged with minor in possession and giving false information to a police officer at around 9:51 p.m. on Feb. 12.

A UAPD officer on patrol was driving past the Sigma Chi fraternity during the “Brochella” party at the fraternity and noticed several people outside of the chapter house.

A male student approached the officer’s vehicle, mistaking the police vehicle for a taxi, and asked the officer to take the student in question home.

The officer stopped to talk to the student and noticed a strong odor of alcohol on his breath.

The student’s eyes were bloodshot, staggering as he walked, swaying about two inches back and forth while standing still, and slurred his speech slurred.

The officer asked if the student had been drinking and the student admitted to drinking “a little bit.”

The student said that he was 22 years old but he provided Aug. 5, 1992 as his birthday which would make the student only 18 years old.

The officer asked for the student’s name, and the student gave the officer a name but spelled the last name differently than it was pronounced.

The officer asked about the student’s last name several times, and the student continued to give the officer multiple spellings.

The officer detained the student and placed him in the police vehicle.

While in the vehicle the student stopped crying and carried on in a “jovial attitude.”

“Can I just suck your dick?” the student said to the officer.

Eventually, the student identified himself truthfully.

The officer attempted to locate a friend to take the student home. The student said that he was at the party with a female friend who was a friend of a brother in the fraternity.

However, the brother told the officer that he had never met the student.

The officer then hailed a taxi for the student. The student got in the cab but then jumped out of the vehicle.

“Go home with me please, I’m afraid to be with myself!” the student yelled at another police officer.

The officer transported the student to Pima County Jail and booked the student for minor in possession and giving false information to a police officer.

Once inside, the student demanded that Tucson Police Department officers untie and remove his shoes.

The student became combative and TPD officers had to hold the student on the ground while he was booked.

UA Science Spring 2011 Lecture Series

Cosmic Origins

Astronomical Alchemy: The Origin of the Elements Philip A. Pinto

Today, February 22nd at 7pm UA Centennial Hall—Free

One of the greatest achievements of 20th-century science is an understanding of the origin of matter.

While hydrogen and helium were produced in the Big Bang, the origin of the heavier elements— the silicon in rocks, the iron in our blood, and the oxygen we breathe—lies in the lifecycle of stars.

WORTH NOTING

ON THE SPOT Keepin’ it fresh with hairnets

Please recycle your copy of the Arizona Daily Wildcat.

Owen Brennan

IQ Fresh employee Have you ever been irritated to the point where you poisoned a customer’s order?

One girl accused me of touching her fries with my hands, and I said that it was false because I touched my face after I handed her her food and she got it all messed up.

How do you personally stay fresh?

I take a shower everyday and I buy a new wardrobe. I never wear the same clothes twice.

Have you started thinking about Spring Break 2011?

Yes I have. I am going to sleep as much as possible. I am not going to do any work or anything that has to do with school.

How do you feel about Speedos?

Not a huge fan of Speedos.

Do you feel violated when looking at other men in Speedos?

I’d rather them not wear Speedos to be honest.

What is something you think that needs the biggest amount of change in your life?

Biggest change I need is to be accepted into Eller.

I just had my interviews and they went well — hopefully I will be in accounting.

How do you feel about the hairnets?

The hairnets, I love the hairnets. I would wear them over the hat any day.

If on campus, you may use any recycling bin regardless of the label.

Steve Bedner, of Bedner’s Farm Fresh Market in Boynton Beach, checks on his covered plants on Dec. 6, 2010. Freezing weather across the South and in Mexico recently damaged tomato, cucumber and bell pepper crops, leading to shortages and price hikes.

Is it a stretch for taxpayers to fund yoga classes for jail inmates?

That’s the question in New Mexico, where officials are considering budget cuts that might leave prisoners without a leg to balance on.

Yoga, tae bo, tai chi and art therapy classes are on the chopping block at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque, where deputy county manager of public safety Tom Swisstack plans to make some cuts.

• The artist Vincent Van Gogh sliced part of his ear off in madness.

“I imagine in the next 60 days, you’re not going to see all of these programs necessarily in place,” Swisstack told KOAT. That said, Swisstack isn’t necessarily eager to pull the plug on all of the chi-harnessing classes.

“Those are the kinds of things that sound like they’re touchy feely, but those are also the kinds of things that have helped in some cases, quite honestly in many cases, break the barriers that treatment could actually then start,”

“Some of those programs work for people.”

New Mexico isn’t the only place where detainees have access to yoga classes.

Yoga programs already exist in prisons and jails everywhere from Illinois to India — where inmates who complete yoga classes are reportedly rewarded with shortened sentences.

BASEBALL continued from page 10 including a third-inning grand slam on Sunday.

The wind was howling on Saturday, and Arizona head coach Andy Lopez thought that it wasn’t so much the bats, but the wind speed, that led to three Wildcat homeruns.

First baseman Cole Frenzel wanted to give a little more credit to the hitters.

“Those balls that left the yard,” he said, “they were still struck well.

I’m pretty sure they were still going to go out.”

Frenzel had a weekend to be proud of as well, collecting five RBI on Saturday alone and stealing two bags for the Wildcats in the first game of the series.

For Garcia, his three dingers matched his total from what was an injury-riddled spring last year, and he finished the weekend batting .500, going 6-for-12 at the plate with six runs scored and six RBI. All in all, Arizona totaled 31 runs

coming off of 41 hits, compared to the two runs on 12 scattered hits for the Bison.

The catching

The Wildcat infield looked like a vacuum during the weekend, with Bryce Ortega showing his range and great digs out of the dirt at first base from Frenzel.

No fielding problems to speak of at all for the Wildcats.

What does it mean?

The Wildcats have proven they are fundamentally sound and will need to continue playing that way as they take on perennial powerhouse Long Beach State.

“It’s going to be good, we’re ready,” said an optimistic Garcia. “Especially if the pitching stays strong like it is. You know with the hitting, if we’re not squaring balls up, we can always go to our short game with bunting and stealing.”

Lopez, like every coach, preaches throwing, hitting and catching on a daily basis, and only time will tell if the team can keep up with his demands.

Men’s Basketball

Francona enshrined in College Hall of Fame

By Vincent Balistreri Arizona Daily Wildcat 1. Arizona (23-4, 12-2): Arizona has moved into the top-10 in both polls and is a sweep away from its first Pacific 10 Conference regular season title since the 2004-05 season.

Boston Red Sox manager and former Arizona outfielder Terry Francona headlined the 2011 class inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame yesterday.

Francona led the Pacific 10 Conference Southern Division in hits, RBI and doubles in both the 1979 and 1980 seasons. He was named Most Outstanding Player for his performance in the 1980 College World Series after leading the Wildcats to a national title.

After the World Series victory, Francona was a unanimous firstteam All-American choice. He also won the National Player of the Year award and the Golden Spikes award for his efforts in 1980.

Williams Pac-10 Player of the Week again

the Icecats went down early once again, but this time it was a two-goal deficit before freshman Eric Watters scored to cut the Rams lead to one.

CSU retaliated with another goal to pull ahead by two once again. The Icecats were facing a 3-1 deficit going into the third period, before senior Icecat captain Jordan Schupan punched one into the back of the net before the second period ended.

CSU struck first blood in the third period, once again pulling ahead by two goals. It seemed to be the dagger as the players and fans celebrated the goal to get ahead by two in the final period.

The Arizona men’s basketball team jumped to the No. 10 spots in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll on Monday.

It was the first time the Wildcats have been ranked in the Top 10 since Jan. 8, 2007. The Wildcats also made headway in the RPI rankings, moving from No. 17 to No. 15.

The RPI rankings will become a factor on Selection Sunday, when coaches will see two of Arizona’s losses came versus No. 3 Kansas and No. 7 BYU, which have higher RPI rankings of No. 1 and No. 3, respectively.

Meanwhile, forward Derrick Williams was named the Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week for the third time this season.

The sophomore averaged 26 points and 9.5 rebounds to go along with two assists in the wins against the Washington schools.

Pac-10 Power Rankings

The Icecats then made a push for a comeback of their own, Schupan and Lefferts scored late in the game to tie it at four, where it stayed through overtime.

They entered a shootout, and defeated the Rams 2-1, with Slugocki and Watters scoring in the shootout. Goaltender Sisler only allowed one goal in the shootout, which was also critical in the Icecat victory.

“It was really great to see players step up and live by the team concepts,” Golembiewski said. “We are very proud and it guarantees us our 30th winning season in (the program’s) 32 years.”

The Icecats will close out their season this weekend against No. 8 ASU and say goodbye to Jordan Schupan, Nick Taylor and Micah Kneeshaw on Saturday’s senior night.

2. Washington (18-8, 10-5): The Huskies lost a close one in McKale Center on Saturday, and they showed why they will be a tough team in the NCAA Tournament.

3. UCLA (19-8, 10-4): Although California has been a tough opponent for all the top teams in the Pac-10, the Bruins blew a golden opportunity on Sunday night. Instead of being just one game back of first place, they’re now two games back of first place.

4. Southern California (15-12, 7-7): The Trojans are beating the teams they’re supposed to beat late in the season and could be a team that can upset one of the top teams in the final weeks.

5. Oregon (14-12, 7-7): The Ducks dominated the civil war rivalry this year and are the Pac-10’s biggest surprise.

6. California (14-13, 7-8): The Golden Bears took another Pac-10 title contender to overtime but came away victorious this time.

7. Washington State (17-10, 7-8): The Cougars had the worst weekend of any Pac10 team. It’s one thing to lose to a top-10 team, but when you lose to the lowly Sun Devils, you’ve basically surrendered your season.

8. Stanford (13-13, 6-9): The Cardinal is exactly what everyone expected of them, nothing special but not the worst team in the conference.

9. ASU (10-16, 2-12): The Sun Devils got their first win since Jan. 1. With an overall better record than Oregon State, the Sun Devils have finally climbed out of the bottom spot despite still being in last place in Pac-10 standings.

10. Oregon State (9-16, 4-10): The Beavers didn’t show up in their rivalry game and could very well end up the worst team in the Pac-10 when the season ends next week.

Q How is drinking in

moderation sometimes good for your health?

can sound like a mixed message: alcohol may have some A. Ithealth benefits but it may also increase your risk of health

problems. So which is it? When it comes to alcohol, the health benefits only come with moderate drinking (for men, that’s up to two drinks per day, and for women, it’s one per day).

Although some studies suggest that red wine offers additional health-protective effects due to its high antioxidant content, beer and hard alcohol seem to provide the same health benefits.

Let’s take a closer look at the connection between alcohol and health. First, strong medical evidence exists for the link between moderate drinking and a reduced risk of heart disease, according to the New England Journal of Medicine. Here’s what we know: • Moderate drinking can diminish the risk of developing heart disease or dying of a heart attack. Why? Researchers think that blockages are reduced in the arteries to the heart and brain.

Evidence shows that heart disease risk can be substantially higher among people who drink to excess, even occasionally.

• Studies suggest that those who drink moderately cut their risk of developing gallstones by about 50%.

• There are indications that moderation may reduce the risk for type 2 diabetes; however, consuming large quantities of alcohol actually increases the risk for this condition.

• A French study found that people who drank daily in moderation were less likely to develop dementia than nondrinkers.

• Moderate drinkers have a 70% reduced risk for ischemic strokes.

However, heavy drinking increases the risk of ischemic stroke.

These beneficial effects actually go away and become risk factors if people drink too much.

Keep in mind that these effects will vary by a person’s health history, age, gender, and family history. It’s all about moderation.

UA students drink an average of one night a week.

69-64 Wildcats learn lesson on controlling emotions

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller said he thought McKale Center would blow its top before the game even started.

Crediting the crowd atmosphere, Miller’s team began Saturday’s win over the Washington Huskies with the energy and swagger expected by the 14,619 in attendance. And with a 12-point lead soon after the halftime break, it appeared the Wildcats might put the dagger into the Huskies for good.

Unfortunately, Arizona wasn’t able to close the door.

The Wildcats, caught up in the emotions of redemption, tried to play at the Huskies’ fast-paced tempo. A 12-turnover second half gave life to UW and made for a down-tothe-wire affair.

But this time around, the Wildcats won because they realized their folly.

“When we went on that first run, we were just playing,” said forward Solomon Hill. “Second half, we tried to get out and run, but it didn’t work. Once (point guard Momo Jones) started slowing it down, we started running some plays.

It started working in our favor.”

With its perimeter defensive pressure, Washington stole the ball from Arizona seven times in the second half, providing for lay-ups, open 3-pointers and at the very least, defensive mismatches. It caused the Wildcats to push the tempo themselves, leading to more forced play and missed shots that allowed the Huskies to take a four-point lead with eight minutes to go.

Calming themselves down, the Wildcats regained their brand of basketball. “(We were) starting to get D-Will (forward Derrick Williams) involved in the post, running plays to get guys open,” Hill said. “Once we started forcing our pace, we were able to get things going.”

On the defensive end, Miller played chess with Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar.

Both because of strategic changes and the pace of the game wearing on his players, Miller used all of his timeouts before the pivotal final minute.

“I ran out of timeouts because I just almost sensed that our team needed a couple breaks,” Miller said. “We had a lot of things we were trying to fix on offense and defense. They really force you to do that.”

One of those fixes came against UW ball screens. Instead of picking and rolling, Washington big men like forward Matthew Bryan-Amaning began slipping screens and the Arizona defense failed to collapse in time, while also leaving outside shooters wide open.

“It was very hard,” Miller said. “You know you have a guy with the ball who’s an unbelievable passer, then you have a guy running to the rim who’s as good as it gets catching and finishing. And then on the wings you have guys who really can shoot.

“It’s like I said up in Seattle, it’s not easy answers.”

Icecats escape with two wins

By Kyle Arps ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

according to Miller.

“I thought our game against Cal was about as good as it gets,” Miller said.

“I’m happy for our conference,” Miller added. “The quality of basketball that everyone just watched … with this type of game, certainly will come with a lot of respect.”

Miller said he believes the exposure was positive for two reasons: firstly, because of the highscoring nature of both Washington and Arizona — that always helps with recruiting; and secondly, because of the whiteout. The head coach hinted that he might implement another whiteout or even a red-out for one of the Wildcats’ two remaining home games.

“I’ve never seen a whiteout where everyone wears white,” Miller joked. “Usually, some people don’t care.”

The Arizona Icecats flew into Colorado early Friday morning riding the momentum of a Weber State sweep on the last road trip, and that frame of mind carried throughout the weekend.

The Icecats (14-12-1) defeated the Division-II, No. 3-ranked Colorado State Rams (21-9) twice during the weekend, by scores of 4-3 and 5-4 (OT).

“These were huge victories, and the guys who made the trip stepped up,” said Icecats head coach Leo Golembiewski. “They are a tough team to beat in their barn. We haven’t played well there in awhile, and it was nice to go in, play well and get the sweep.”

Freshman goaltender Steven Sisler made 60 saves over the weekend, including six saves during the overtime period in game two, in which the Icecats were shorthanded due to a penalty. He was awarded the game puck for both of the games.

“Sisler played really well, and we are proud across the board with everyone’s performance.”

Golembiewski said of his team that’s now won four in a row on the road.

In game one, the Icecats fell behind early before Brady Lefferts tied the game at one a piece.

Brian Slugocki followed up with two goals of his own in the second period, and another in the third, giving him a hat trick.

The Icecats were ahead 4-1 in the middle of the third period when the Rams made their push for a comeback. They scored two quick goals, only two minutes apart, but were unable to score the equalizer as the Icecats defense held strong.

In game two, the next night,

Momo Jones, left, and Derrick Williams, right, were able to clamp down on defense at the end of Arizona’s 87-86 win over Washington on Saturday. The ability to close games will be essential for the Wildcats down the stretch.

But Arizona’s adjustments worked well enough once the players regained their composure. The emotion didn’t get the best of them down the stretch, a lesson learned from the Wildcats’ last loss.

“Everybody knows how we felt in the locker room after the game up there,” Hill said, referring to Arizona’s loss in Seattle, Wash. “It just came out on the court. It got the best of us, and we just had to keep our composure.”

Positive light

Televised nationally on ESPN, Saturday’s contest perhaps gave the nation’s most lookeddown-upon conference an improved image.

“If anyone doubted a couple teams in our Pac10 Conference … you saw just a great, great college basketball game,” Miller said.

But this wasn’t the first noteworthy conference game that Arizona has played this season,

It’s a simple game

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Baseball has never been put into perspective better than when Joe Riggins — the manager of the Durham Bulls in the 1988 movie Bull Durham — was venting his frustrations with his squad after another poor performance.

“This is a simple game,” he said. “You throw the ball. You hit the ball. You catch the ball.”

Using this formula, the Arizona baseball team not only threw it, hit it and caught it, but the team simply dominated the North Dakota State Bison in its opening series of the season last weekend, winning 100, 12-1, and 8-1 in consecutive games.

The pitching

It was a banner weekend for the Arizona pitching staff that, on the backs of starters Kurt Heyer, Kyle Simon, and Tyler Hale, allowed only two runs in 27 innings of baseball.

On Friday, Heyer held the hill for seven strong innings and tallied eight strikeouts on the night.

Coming into relieve was junior left-hander Matt Chaffee, who capped off the evening without giving up a hit while striking out three.

The next day, it was Simon’s turn, and he didn’t disappoint.

He pounded the zone for seven innings, retiring 13 batters on strikeouts, a career high, and only allowing one hit.

Hale’s Sunday provided much

of the same for the Wildcats. His four-hit, one-run performance was commendable, but it was the Wildcat bullpen that finally got its chance to shine.

Freshman relievers Konner Wade and Daniel Ponce de Leon combined for four strikeouts in just five outs on the mound.

The hitting

At first glance, it appeared the new bats had an effect on the offense on the first night of the series, with neither team hitting a home run. But UA designated hitter Josh Garcia wasn’t buying into it.

In the next two games, he managed to shove away the skeptics by hammering three home runs, BASEBALL, page 8

Junior Matt Chaffee was one of the many relievers who closed out all three games in Arizona’s sweep of North Dakota State during the weekend. The Wildcats will need to continue their solid all-around play against Long Beach State this weekend.

Stakem vaults over clipboard for balance beam

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Ali Stakem is attempting something that head coach Bill Ryden has never seen in his 13 years at the helm of the UA gymnastics program.

Stakem, a lifelong gymnast whose career was cut short due to injuries, was the team manager last year and tried out for the team this year. This marked Stakem’s first return to the mat since doctors ordered her to stop competing during her sophmore year of high school.

“There was a little bit of hesitation,” Ryden said. “The doctors

(in her club team) told her to retire for a reason. She has proven to me that she can actually do this level of gymnastics. She still has a long ways just from a rehab stand point to get to where she wants to go.”

Stakem has exhibitioned in two events this year but has not been able to crack the rotation. The team has welcomed Stakem with open arms and can be often seen giving her advice on how to improve her routines. Stakem said being a teammate is completely different than being a team manager because she is able to be closer to the team.

“You can tell there is a ton of

Ali Stakem Gymnast talent in that body, it’s just that the body is very beat up,” Ryden said. “That rotator cuff tear didn’t happen here; we discovered it after she started her training. She came here with that tear and just never knew it.”

Unfortunately for Stakem, her

rotator cuff injury required immediate surgery, and she will be rehabbing for the rest of the season.

“Recovery is estimated (to take) six to nine months, so I’m not sure exactly (about) the amount of time,” Stakem said.

“I got surgery about two weeks ago and that is when the recovery time started.”

Stakem believes that her threeyear retirement from gymnastics both hurt and helped her in the long run.

“It made it a lot harder to get all of my skills back,” Stakem said. “It helped me because it gave me such passion and such determination to get back. I love

this sport so much, just being off for that long just made me realize how much I do love this sport.”

Some of the gymnasts consider Stakem the comedian of the team who always keeps people laughing. She may be on a rigorous road to recovery, but Stakem is always smiling.

“It’s just the way I am. I like to make people laugh,” Stakem said. “I do goofy things because I’m not worried about what people think of me. I just want to make others happy.

“Hopefully, I will be back next year and be able to compete. I definitely plan on being back next year.”
