UA to boost body image

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students, the UA wants you to love your body.

With 20 percent of college students admitting to having an eating disorder and three-quarters of those not receiving treatment, according to the National Eating Disorders Association, the UA’s Love Your Body Day is a chance to reach students.

Today’s Love Your Body Day is an annual event that coincides with National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

Last year Kirsten Haglund, the 2008 winner of the Miss America pageant, shared her experience combating an eating disorder. This year, Jessica Setnick, author of “The Eating Disorders Clinical Pocket Guide,” will share her personal story in a talk entitled “Making Food Your Friend Again.”

Personal stories can often create hope and empowerment for people trying to recover from eating disorders, said Gale Welter, a nutrition counselor for Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health Service.

“She’s got a great personality, she’s real funny, she’s a Texas girl,” Welter said of Setnick.

Setnick will be speaking during the day’s main event in the South Ballroom in the Student Union Memorial Center at 6 p.m. today, and will have her book available.

In addition to the main event, volunteers will conduct free student screenings, surveys that ask students about their bodies and body image, that will take place around campus from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The screenings are designed to go into a national data bank to help people that work with eating BODY, page 2

During the protest on Tuesday at Speedway Boulevard and Euclid Avenue, Aman Tekbali, a senior majoring in history and Arabic, holds a sign calling for freedom in Libya.

Demonstrators were protesting the recent violent clampdown against unrest in Libya.

Rally for Libya

UA students, community members protest to show support for revolts About 60 people gathered on Tuesday to show support for the revolutionaries in Libya and call for the downfall of its entrenched, authoritarian leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi.

Protesters in front of the First Christian Church on the corner of Speedway Boulevard and Euclid Avenue bore signs that read “Free Libya,” “Honk for Freedom,” and “Silence breeds violence.” Some drivers stopped at the traffic light leaned out of their windows and shook hands with those gathered on the sidewalk.

A car drove by and the driver held its horn for several seconds, sending those gathered into an uproar.

Qaddafi has been battling violent internal protests that erupted on Feb. 15.

The humanitarian organization Human Rights Watch has confirmed at least 233 have been killed during the uprising as of Feb. 22. It is estimated that seven Libyan cities are in the hands of anti-Qaddafi demonstrators.

Fellah expressed his desire to see Qaddafi “brought to justice” for his crimes against humanity.

His brother, Jamal Fellah, echoed the sentiment.

“We need Qaddafi to go,” Jamal Fellah yelled, barely audible above the din and clamor of the crowd. “We need to bring him down.”

brutal this regime can be,” Tekbali said.

Tekbali said he also had an uncle jailed in the country, and had visited him in prison in 1995. “(Libya is) a depressing place,” he said. “There are no wealthy people, there are only those who have some money and those who have none.”

Fellah said the protest was about alerting the Tucson community to the plight of those in Libya.

“We need to let them know that Libya has been in torture for the last 42 years,” Fellah said. “They need to know that, finally, the Libyan people have spoken.”

Qaddafi first came to power after a military coup in 1969.

His rule makes him the fourthlongest tenured non-royal ruler since 1900, behind only Cuba’s

in the departments of science and mathematics at Pima Community College who helped organize the protest, said everyone was gathered there for one reason.

“Freedom, that’s all this is,” said Fellah, who was born in Libya. “It’s the freedom to express ourselves.”

Aman Tekbali, a UA senior studying history and Arabic, said the protest was about building awareness and trying to spur President Barack Obama to take a more definitive stance against Qaddafi, whom he called a “war criminal” with a human rights record that is “as bad as Saddam Hussein.”

Tekbali, whose mother and four siblings are in Tripoli, the Libyan capital, attended school in the country.

Student dish premiers on campus menu

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The UA’s “Battle of the Dorms” contest dished up its first winner on Tuesday.

“Battle of the Dorms” solicited recipes from students all over campus, with the winner ’s recipe served in the Park Student Union. Lindsay Bingham, a pre-journalism freshman from Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall, won the contest and was presented with her own chef jacket as her meal made its debut on the hotline.

The contest gives students in residence halls a chance to say what they want to eat, said Lupita Lopez, Park Student Union manager.

Living in a residence hall, students often don’t have the facilities to cook for themselves and “we can be that facility,” Lopez said.

PSU student employees, chefs and managers judged the submitted recipes.

The decision came down to two meals out of 12 submitted. In the end, the PSU chose Bingham’s.

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

“It’s delicious and that’s why it won,” Lopez said of the dish.

The winning dish is titled “Lean and Mean” and consists of pesto turkey meatballs served over pasta with marinara sauce.

Depending on student feedback, the PSU plans to incorporate Bingham’s meal into the regular menu.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat interviewed Bingham about her recipe and winning Battle of the Dorms. Bingham said she plans to attend culinary school after graduation.

DW: Where did you come up with the recipe?

Bingham: “I like testing recipes. And I originally started cooking a while back, and I just had a turkey meatball recipe that I used regularly with pasta and everything. And I like experimenting with flavors, so I decided to add pesto to it because there is a lot of flavor in pesto. And I made it for my mom and she just loved it so I thought why not this recipe.”

wisdom to impart?

“If something doesn’t turn out, keep trying. Follow the recipe, and when you get comfortable with it, try new things with it.”

How did you find your love of cooking?

“Food Network, ‘Top Chef’ — cooking shows kind of inspired it and then, once I saw something that I really loved or what looked intriguing, I wanted to make it.”

What do you think people will love about this dish?

A: “Flavor. It’s not the most appealing but it’s definitely full of flavor, full of life.”

21st century bullying

Offenses via email or text becoming more common

By Lucy Valencia Arizona Daily Wildcat

Valentina Martinelli/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sheri Bauman, director of the School Counseling program, talks about the effects of cyberbullying in her office on Tuesday.

continued from page 1 disorders across the nation track trends, said Laura Orlich, a mental health clinician who is also the coordinator of eating disorder services for Campus Health Service.

Professional counselors will be available to support and inform students of services offered at Campus Health.

“We want to raise awareness and do it in a way that is not shaming or blaming so that people can be aware that there’s support,” Orlich said.

Orlich highlighted key screening statements that are watched for, such as when someone answers on the survey “am terrified about being overweight,” “find myself preoccupied with food,” “feel extremely guilty after eating,” “am preoccupied with a desire to be thinner” and “engage in dieting behavior.”

Students can choose to respond to the survey by responding whether they feel that way always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely or never.

In the U.S., one million males and 10 million females are struggling with a life-threatening eating disorder such as bulimia or anorexia, according to the National Eating Disorders Association.

Signs that someone may have an eating disorder include isolating themselves, not eating

with others, physical weight loss over a short period of time and change in mood, Orlich said, noting her major concern is people who try to over-regulate their caloric intake.

Other signs that someone may have an eating disorder are people who eat even if they are not hungry, fear gaining weight, obsess about food or avoid eating in a social setting, Orlich said.

Some students might not even attend class simply because they feel too fat, according to Welter.

Bulimia and anorexia are not the only prevalent eating disorders, binge eating is also part of the spectrum, Orlich said.

Binge eating is based on anxiety levels and can be used as a coping strategy.

“I’ve had cases where a young woman who didn’t feel she was getting the attention she needed and wanted from guys, thought that if she lost weight, that she would attract males,” Orlich said.

Orthorexia, another such disorder, is a non-clinical term used in the field to describe an obsessive concern with eating healthy.

Orlich calls Orthorexia a good idea gone bad.

“Eating vegetables is a great idea, but if you only eat vegetables, you’re going to have a protein deficit,” she said. “It’s like taking a healthy idea and going too far with it.”

Cyberbullies leave their mark all over the web, and one UA associate professor is out to make sure students know how to prevent it and what to do when it happens to them.

Inspired by being blindsided by a cyberbully, Sheri Bauman, associate professor for disabilities and psychoeducational studies, is creating a focus group for students to find out why the “cyber-arena” is flooded with bullies who can say it all without leaving their computer.

“Why do you put it on the Internet when you can’t say it in person?” asked Katie Parissenti, a political science sophomore.

Parissenti said negative comments on social networking sites are very “high school” and “clique-ish.” She said one reason people might cyberbully is because face-to-face contact can be more awkward than doing it online.

Bauman was a victim of cyberbullying herself in 2000, while studying for her licensing exam to become a psychologist. She joined an online listserv where others prepping to take the exam shared notes and helped each other study.

Bauman came across a woman on the listserv who mentioned studying in Colorado in one of her posts.

Having lived in Colorado and studied at the same college as the woman, Bauman sent her an email.

They exchanged a few emails in a brief and casual conversation about which professors were still at the university and their experience at

the school.

A few weeks later, Bauman received an angry email from the woman saying she was going to contact the licensing board and make sure no one like her was ever licensed to practice.

“I was shocked,” Bauman said.

“Someone had masqueraded as me and said nasty, disgusting, sexual things to the woman in an email …

They had damaged my reputation and potentially ruined my career.”

Bauman immediately contacted the listserv and explained her situation. After an investigation, the site’s manager was able to find the computer from which a user posed as Bauman. The man who owned the computer said he had been out of town and someone else must have logged on and written the disturbing emails. The site’s manager wrote a letter to the offended woman explaining the situation.

Bauman said she would have acted differently if she had the knowledge she does now.

“I would have acted less powerless and contacted the police or filed a lawsuit.”

She recommends students save evidence and call the police if it happens to them.

Sgt. Juan Alvarez, spokesman for the University of Arizona Police Department, said cyberbullying crimes at the UA are usually committed through email or via text message.

“We will make sure that the person is held responsible, and we conduct an investigation to see if the situation will involve jurisdiction,” he said.

He added that whether or not UAPD takes action depends on the situation. UAPD works in collaboration with the Dean of Students Office and Campus Health Service, who often step in and help handle the case.

“Like many devices, it isn’t the technology or the Internet that is the problem — it’s the use of it,” Bauman said during a talk at the Student Union Memorial Center’s Tucson Room last Friday. “I really value free speech, but it can sort of poison the atmosphere.”

Katie Selph, a creative writing senior, said social networking sites like Facebook have actually given her more security.

“I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem with any creepy person myself, but it does happen,” Selph said. “It’s definitely a lot easier to control on Facebook. You can block people and they can’t contact you.”

Other websites allow you to create usernames where your personal information is not visible to others.

“You can go online and be Donald Duck, you can be a dog, you can be whoever you want, and they can’t trace it … anonymity is a huge problem,” Bauman said during the talk.

She is currently working to start a focus group to get a better understanding on what is causing this issue. After speaking with students from different racial, sexual, gender and social backgrounds, she hopes to create a survey to send out to the entire UA student body in order to gather a wider range of information.

Israelpalooza displays Isralei culture on campus

By Eliza Molk Arizona Daily Wildcat Israelpalooza will feature the culture, people and food of Israel on the UA Mall today from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event is sponsored by the Hillel Center and includes a movie produced by students about Israel, an Israeli self-defense demonstration called “Krav Maga,” articles about Israeli politics, Israeli music and free Israeli food.

Michelle Blumenberg, the executive director of the Hillel Center, said that Israelpalooza is a fun way for the whole UA community to learn about Israel. She said some of ways the event will be doing this is through teaching about different cities and religions in Israel.

The annual event will differ from last year because it will include Krav Maga and more food, such as falafel and baklava, according to Blumenberg.

Max Rusinov, Hillel’s Israeli fellow, said that most students know about Israel from the news, which can portray it as a “horrible country.”

The goal of Israelpalooza, he said, was to not

only refute that statement but to show the country’s interesting culture.

“There are a bunch of things going on in Israel that is not only war,” Rusinov said.

There will also be a book that the UA community can put their prayers in, which will later be inserted in the Western Wall in Jerusalem, according to Rusinov.

The event is part of Hillel’s “Israel Week,” which features Scott Blakeman, a political comedian from New York. He will be performing political humor from a liberal Jewish perspective, according to the Hillel Center.

The comedy event is tonight at 7 at DV8 nightclub with a $10 admission fee.

The U.N. Security Council called an emergency meeting as Libya descended into further chaos Tuesday amid reports that Gadhafi’s regime used warplanes, helicopter gunships and foreign mercenaries against mounting anti-government demonstrations, witnesses and diplomats said.

The Security Council met in closed-door session in New York to discuss the crackdown against mostly unarmed opposition forces in and around Tripoli, the Libyan capital.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

CAIRO — A defiant Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi vowed Tuesday not to resign and denounced the anti-government protesters who have challenged his regime as “greasy rats” and “drug-fueled mice” who deserve to be executed.

“These gangs are cockroaches,” he said. “They’re nothing. They’re not 1 percent of the Libyan people.”

In a lengthy address on state TV, Gadhafi, who has ruled since 1969, stood in the ruins of a barracks in Tripoli that was bombed by U.S. warplanes in 1986. He waved his fist and shouted, vowing to die a

WASHINGTON — A California couple and two other Americans taken hostage by Somali pirates were mortally wounded Tuesday morning by their captors, shortly before a U.S. special operations team boarded the hijacked vessel, killed two of the pirates and captured the rest, U.S. military officials said.

Some of the victims were still alive when they were found by the U.S. team and were given first aid, but all four died, said Vice Adm. Mark Fox, the commander of U.S. naval forces in

A flotilla of U.S. naval vessels had been shadowing the yacht, known as the Quest, for three days and conducted negotiations over the weekend in an effort to free the two couples as the yacht made its way south toward Somalia, said Lt. Col. Mike Lawhorn, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command, which oversees U.S. anti-piracy operations in the Indian Ocean.

There were signs of divisions among the 19 pirates during the hostage standoff, U.S. officers said.

The counties appealed, but higher courts upheld the injunction.

In the latest appeals, the counties argued that other historical documents were posted as part of the displays, such as the Mayflower Compact, to illustrate the foundations of U.S. law and government.

That cured the complaint that the commandments were displayed to promote religion, the counties argued.

The ACLU countered that adding the other documents was a transparent attempt to cover the true motive of the displays.

LEXINGTON, Ky. — The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear more arguments in a case in which courts struck down displays of the Ten Commandments in the Pulaski and McCreary County courthouses in Kentucky, the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky announced Tuesday.

That is the final appeal in the case, which is more than a decade old, the ACLU said.

The counties posted copies of the biblical laws in 1999. A federal judge said the displays were an improper government endorsement of religion and issued an injunction barring the counties from keeping

Reid offers plan to avert government shutdown that the long-term plan would include budget cuts but said both sides needed more time “to find a responsible path forward that cuts government spending while keeping our communities safe and our economy growing.”

It took almost no time for Republicans to reject Reid’s proposal. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said last week he would not agree to any spending plan that did not include budget cuts. The House on Saturday passed a bill

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Yielding no ground in the budget standoff, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday said he would propose a measure that would fund the government at current levels for one month, a path that would avoid a government shutdown while the Senate and the Republicanled House negotiate a long-term spending plan.

Reid, D-Nev., acknowledged

that eliminated more than $60 billion from the budget in the current fiscal year.

“The House has passed legislation to keep the government running until October while cutting spending,” Boehner said in a statement. “If Sen. Reid refuses to bring it to a vote, then the House will pass a short-term bill to keep the government running — one that also cuts spending.”

The dueling statements show both sides remain entrenched even

as the deadline for reaching a deal moves closer. Funding for the government is set to expire March 4.

Both chambers in Congress are out of session this week, leaving only five days for lawmakers to agree to and pass a bill.

Reid said he would bring the temporary measure to the floor next week and said he was instructing his chief of staff to begin working with Boehner’s office on a budget plan that could carry through to the end of the fiscal year.

Obama pushes for unity in wake of shooting

By Bethany Barnes and Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Standing before an audience of more than 13,000 in McKale Center, with an almost equal number watching via video from the nearby Arizona Stadium, President Barack Obama took a thoughtful pause.

“On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside of a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech,” he said.

“They were fulfilling a central tenant of democracy and the vision by our founders … That is the quintessentially American scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets.”

Public transit: A convenient adventure Tanner Weigel Arizona Daily Wildcat

C

onsider this piece of advice: Use the city bus instead of your car. You are most likely laughing, thinking that it would be crazy to use the bus when you could drive. But, from personal experience, using the Sun Tran is not only convenient, but can also be quite an adventure. I have to admit that I am a recent convert to mass transit. An ill-fated collision between a sorority girl’s brand-new car and mine (yes, it is kind of funny, in retrospect) forced me to find alternative means of transportation. But even after getting my automobile back, I decided to stick with the Sun Tran.

As I think back on the mornings when I did last minute studying on the bus, or the money I saved on gas, or the absolutely hysterical (or disturbing) time I had peoplewatching, I cannot imagine going back to driving. Really, it takes away so much stress to know that I can let someone else chauffeur me around during rush hour — as long as I stay on top of the bus schedule, of course.

If you tend to run late, beware. The bus is generally prompt, and you might get left behind. Oh, and there is the occasional breakdown, so leave extra early on final exam days.

But considering how that type of unfortunate mishap has yet to occur to me, you probably shouldn’t worry too much about it.

Furthermore, a ride on the Sun Tran can teach you about any number of school subjects. For instance, remember learning about diffusion in chemistry and not really caring at all? It will only take one individual of questionable hygiene (or a smoker) to get on the bus for you to understand why diffusion will be a frequent part of your bus experience. So there, that’s some chemistry in action. Also, because some drivers have different acceleration and braking patterns, you may have a smooth ride, or end up with whiplash. But at least you can better understand principles of motion for your physics class. And of course you know that there will be some interesting characters riding the bus along with you. With a little observation, and perhaps interaction if you are brave enough, you will have plenty of new insight to bring to your psychology or sociology classes.

It truly is a convenience, especially for those of us who live in the far ends of the city. Hours of monotonous driving can transform into endless time for leisure activity on the bus. Now you can catch up on that reading, or get ahead on some of your math homework (yeah, you just laughed again). But whatever you do, you won’t have to keep your eyes on the road because someone else is doing it for you.

Now, I know the university would rather have you buy a ridiculously expensive parking permit, but resist doing so. The bus line runs just about everywhere, and there’s a cheap Sun Tran pass, especially for university students and faculty. If you are ready to take the plunge, just remember to sit in the front, smile and put in those headphones so nobody can strike up an awkward conversation with you.

I jest. There is nothing to fear with Sun Tran, unless money scares you — because you will certainly have a lot of cash left over once you leave your gas-guzzling car at home. Just take the bus already. It will be well worth your time.

Arizona’s English language learning programs harm students When politicians want votes they go after the most vulnerable, and more often than not, that’s students.

Citizens in Arizona, including UA students, are never taught to consider cultural geography. Worse yet, Arizona’s education continually fails to adhere to the best interests of the children it should serve. It ignores the voices of students and teachers, who could provide the most valuable insight on how to better education.

The next demonstration of Arizona’s list of government ignorance is within its public school system. In 2002, Arizona’s then Superintendent of Public Instruction, Tom Horne, implemented English Language Learner programs, meaning that students who do not demonstrate adequacy in the English language, based on federal guidelines, spend four hours a day learning English.

Students are completely isolated and suffer from “feelings of inferiority,”

according to a letter from ELL students at Catalina High School to Horne.

These programs, now known as Structured English Immersion, are meant to speed up the language acquisition process. But educators in all sectors of the United States continue to disagree with its methods.

One such professor, Laida Restrepo from ASU, said in the Tucson Sentinel, “The state implements these laws for political reasons with very little scientific backing. It gets people elected and it gives the politician brownie points, but it is not rooted in science.”

Not rooted in data. Not based on actual testimonies. The same way Horne continues to claim success and improvement in these students’ preparedness to enter “mainstream classrooms,” as he calls them, but these four-hour block classes are only valid for one credit. This impedes graduation rates so severely that some will have to spend at least six years in high school. Horne’s capacity for

practical judgment may be as tiny as his fine print.

We have to start addressing the issue of language-learning in a different manner. Isolating students to force the process of language acquisition is not the answer.

Instead of constricting teachers from finding alternative ways to allow these students to still harness their culture while learning English, give them freedom. Let their voices be heard and allow them to structure programs according to what works for this community, keeping racist politics out of education.

Criminal charm helps everyone Caroline Nachazel Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he next time you find yourself guiltily pondering, “Who is going to notice if I take this?” go ahead and follow in the footsteps of Lindsay Lohan. Although little Miss Lohan is caught in a trap slightly more serious than our favorite 1998 Disney remake, she most likely will not do time for the crime.

In case you have not been following the latest celebrity gossip, a stolen necklace was seen on the exceptionally bony neck of Lohan the day after it was allegedly stolen from an LA jewelry boutique.

One would logically think that Lohan would be imprisoned faster than Jaws to human flesh.

Yet somehow her days are spent frolicking through Beverly Hills and most likely sipping Long Island iced teas, minus the iced tea.

There is a reason A-List stars are not cast on popular courtroom dramas. It’s simply because they usually do not have to deal with it.

Lohan’s celebrity status gives her an advantage in the courtroom and somehow serves her justice by not

serving her any actual justice. But, though I have yet to have a personal meet and greet with Lindsay, I am sure her fame is not the only reason she does not receive equal punishments for her actions.

It’s safe to say that minimal penalties are easy to acquire if you know how to use your mouth.

Get your mind out of the gutter.

I’m talking about using naturalborn charm to get out of criminal accusations.

Of the 59 students the UAPD arrested on minor in possession charges in 2011, I would guess few, if any, knew or cared about Lindsay Lohan. If they did, they may not have been arrested. Like Lohan, many UA students know how to escape the route of criminal doom.

Celebrity status definitely helps but, realistically, we don’t have it, no matter how many Facebook friends stalk our life. Still, batting eyelashes, flashing the pearly whites, making a casual joke … these things work.

The timeless tale of flirting with the cop and avoiding the speeding ticket might be cliche, but it’s also true.

This happens on a daily basis. Dudes,

this is not limited to girls. Remember Lil’ Wayne and T.I.? They were arrested for having extremely large semi-automatic weapons, machetes, etc. in their trunks and made it out of the pen in less than a year.

The most common misdemeanors UA deals with are minor in possession, parking tickets, red tags and unruly gatherings, all of which are punished with fines, community service hours and red pieces of paper taped to doorways. I pray that UAPD does not use this column to increase penalties, but you should know how to avoid harsher punishments.

Next time you find yourself handcuffed, or about to be handcuffed, picture the ghostly complexion of Lindsay Lohan, close your eyes and put yourself in her mindset, and time. The harshest penalties can be avoided.

But please, don’t keep this article in your wallet and use it as a means of reasoning the next time you are caught in a trap. If you get arrested, you can try to Lohan your way out of it. But you can’t actually blame it on Lohan.

Track and field stadium tagged

Graffiti was found at Roy P. Drachman Track and Field Stadium on Feb. 17 at 8:15 a.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call from a UA employee at the stadium. The employee said that sometime after the stadium was closed on Feb. 15, and before it was opened on Feb. 16, the security fence was cut and graffiti was spray-painted throughout the area.

The employee had already reported the incident for cleanup to Facilities Management.

The officer inspected the damage at the track.

There were a number of areas on the exterior fence which had been patched already and it was not clear where the cuts to the fence were.

The officer found six spray-painted areas including the bleachers, two sheds, the sign for the soccer field and two metal signs on the north end of the soccer field.

The west bleachers of the track had been sprayed with white paints in multiple patterns spanning the entire length of the rear seating area. The graffiti was approximately six feet tall and had two faces, unintelligible lettering and designs, with “Shiz?” and “BITO BITO BITO” repeated six times.

The two sheds were each painted with a different design.

One of the sheds had the word “BAF” in orange spray paint, the other had “FN” and “The jam dee surp” written in black paint.

The sign on the soccer field had “-DSO-” written on it in orange spray paint.

The metal signs by the soccer field had an unreadable green design on one sign and the word “Chong” in orange paint on the other.

The UA paint shop responded to clean the graffiti.

The officer took pictures of the graffiti and placed them into UAPD evidence.

What’s mine is mine

A female UA student reported that another resident in her hall had stolen her necklace to UAPD on Saturday.

Two UAPD officers responded to Coronado Residence Hall at 7:42 p.m., regarding the matter between the two female residents.

The officers met with a resident assistant and were escorted to the room of the resident who reported the incident.

The student said that a few days prior to Feb. 17 a former acquaintance, who lives in the adjacent suite, entered the students’ room through the shared bathroom and took a necklace.

The student did not initially know that she was missing the necklace until she saw the acquaintance wearing the necklace around the hall after Feb. 17.

The student asked for the necklace back and the acquaintance refused.

The student showed the officers a text message from the acquaintance that read, “Holy shit I’m fucking taking your fucking necklace.”

The student spoke to the resident assistant after receiving the text message. The RA attempted to make contact with the acquaintance but failed and advised the student to contact UAPD. The student only wanted the necklace back and did not want to pursue any type of criminal charges.

The officers attempted to contact the acquaintance in her room but she was not home.

One of the officers called the acquaintance and arranged to meet with her at the hall.

At around 8:25 p.m., the acquaintance arrived and gave the necklace to the officers.

The acquaintance was upset that UAPD was there and said that the entire situation was “stupid” and “bullshit.”

The acquaintance never intended to steal the necklace and said that the text message was a typo because she meant to say that she was not taking the necklace.

The officers told both parties that UA Residence Life would be notified of the incident.

The officers advised each woman to avoid contact and conflict until the mediation meeting.

The officers filled out a Dean of Students Office code of conduct referral form about the acquaintance.

Student removed from UW game

A male UA student was ejected from McKale Center on Saturday at 5:02 p.m., for disorderly conduct.

The student was removed after arguing with staff and UAPD at the basketball game between the Wildcats and the Washington Huskies.

A UAPD officer was walking between sections 23 and 24 when the officer saw a student standing above the players’ exit.

A UA employee confronted the student and asked to see his hand stamp for that particular section.

The student became upset and started yelling, asking why he couldn’t be in the section just for halftime.

When the employee told the student to leave the section the student refused and continued to yell.

The officer intervened, told the student that he needed to leave and grabbed the student by the arm.

The student protested and broke free from the officer ’s grip, the officer then grabbed the student by the shirt and proceeded to escort the student.

The student continued to pull away from the officer, who warned the student numerous times to stop resisting. Soon, another team member came to assist the officer by securing the student’s other arm and taking the student to the ground.

The officer told the student to roll over on the ground while the officer had the student in a reverse wrist lock.

The student told the officer that the officer was “out of control,” but eventually complied and rolled over onto his stomach.

The officer handcuffed the student and escorted him from McKale Center.

The student said that he was in the section to taunt and boo the Washington basketball team as they exited the court for halftime.

The magic of Bollywood UA’s Om Shanti brings style and spectacle of Indian dance to Arizona and beyond

Annie Marum/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Top: UA’s Bollywood dance club, Om Shanti, performed at a benefit concert on Jan. 28, at Flowing Wells High School.

J

an. 28, Flowing Wells High School – It is just after 8 on a chilly Friday night. In the darkness of the . Flowing Wells courtyard, hidden from the noise and excitement building around the school auditorium, a cluster of college students huddles beneath the cover of a tree.

Having just performed, the group members’ temples are slick with sweat, and their hearts beating rapidly. They lean their heads close together, listening to hushed, urgent critiques.

“It’s all about the execution and energy …”

“It needs to be bigger …”

“More energy …”

Nodding heads and worried glances confirm the obvious: the week ahead will be a grueling one.

Intense rehearsals squeezed into already jam-packed schedules, many a sleepless night, very little

time to study, much less to eat and hardly enough time to breathe. But the regimen is necessary.

Tonight’s performance in the Ralph C. Romero Jr. Scholarship Foundation Benefit Concert was not only a night to pay tribute to a fellow artist, but also a test-run for the group’s new routine. It was the group’s first performance in front of a live audience. It was a time to get jitters under control and kinks neatly squared away. In one week, the team would be performing in front of a 2,000-person crowd filling

FIVE SONGS TO REMIND YOU WHY WE CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Holiday released her first recording of this song in 1939, decades before the black Civil Rights movement reached its peak, but its lyrical account of lynching in the American South — “Southern trees bear strange fruit / Blood on the leaves and blood at the root” — remains haunting.

It’s not exactly upbeat, but Holiday’s voice has a way of worming its way into the listener’s soul, and this song will remind you just why Black History Month is so important.

And the award goes to …

Ten nominees. Ten superb films, all deserving in their own ways (yeah, even “Inception”). As Sunday’s ceremony creeps closer, take time to read why WildLife loved the movies this year.

‘Black Swan’

“Black Swan” is a film about the heights and depths an artist can reach in the pursuit of the purest form of her craft. Nina Sayers, a fresh-faced, pink-leotard-swathed ballerina played by Natalie Portman, is cast as the lead in a new production of “Swan Lake.” However, the dance company’s super sexy but megalomaniacal director, played by Vincent Cassel, worries Nina, though perfect as the white swan, doesn’t have the wild side necessary to dance the black swan. In trying to discover her inner “black swan,” Nina must wrestle an onslaught of hallucinations and compulsions that becomes a full-blown psychotic break, all in pursuit of her art.

Or, “Black Swan” is a film that teaches us, through Winona Ryder’s aging prima ballerina and Mila Kunis’ luscious-enough-to-eat rival dancer, that bitches be crazy.

Or, “Black Swan” is a film primarily made to force the audience to cringe as a way-too-skinny Natalie Portmam peels and scratches and bites off her own skin.

The fact that “Black Swan” is all these films at once is both a blessing and a curse. Visually stunning and often deliciously spooky, the film nevertheless fails to wrap up all its loose ends.

Portman’s performance, which will likely win her an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role, is painful and visceral. She cringes and cowers, scratches and twitches through most scenes, though her dancing, most of which she did without a body double, is impressive. However, the performance feels less like acting and more like the actress’ own experiment with artistic self-flagellation.

— Heather Price-Wright

‘Winter’s Bone’

“Winter’s Bone” is the dark horse in the race for the Best Picture Oscar. But this adaptation of Daniel Woodrell’s book — it also earned a nomination for Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay) — shows a grittiness in its story. Its lead actress, 21-year-old Jennifer Lawrence, plays Ree Dolly, a tougher-than-nails 17-year-old girl, who must find her missing father before the court takes away her family’s home. Lawrence’s performance is commanding and worthy of her Best Actress in a Leading Role nomination. Yet “Winter’s Bone” would not be considered for Best Picture if it weren’t for the strong supporting cast, particularly John Hawkes and Garrett Dillahunt; dialogue that avoids Southern clichés; and the local flavor of Missouri’s Ozarks, which becomes a character in its own right through the guidance of director Debra Granik and producer Anne Rosellini. When a film has everything in the right place, it certainly deserves to be called the year’s Best Picture.

— Steven Kwan

‘Inception’

wildlife

arizona daily wildcat • wednesday, february 23, 2011 •

‘The King’s Speech’

Well acted, well written, well done! With an impressive 12 nominations under its belt, I expect this British import to fare just as well on this side of the Atlantic when it comes to claiming wins. Sure, it has its flaws: the World War II setting is overplayed, and combined with the banal twists of historical dramas it makes for a rather straightforward movie. Still, the execution of it all is so flawless you can’t help but get swept up in the feel-good atmosphere. It’s a cinch for Best Picture against the grotesque and boring “Black Swan” and the uninspired “Inception.” Mr. Darcy himself will likely get a piece of the action, if not for the pity nod for his fine work in 2009’s “A Single Man.” If the idea of a movie with a lot of talking and absolutely no cleavage shots (admittedly unfortunate) isn’t really whetting your appetite, don’t bother. It’s cool though, “Piranha 3DD” is coming out pretty soon.

— Remy Albillar

‘True Grit’

When 14-year-old Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) finds out her father was murdered by the coward Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), a man he leant his help to, she won’t quit till she’s done him one the same. Ross rolls up her dress sleeves and gets to work settling her father’s old scores before enlisting the rapscallion of the west, Marshal Reuben “Rooster” Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to track down Chaney and bring him in for justice, dead or alive.

Texas Ranger LeBoeuf (Matt Damon), in all his chatty, mile-a-minute, boy-scout glory, also joins in to take Chaney down for a different murder, and the mismatched trio embark on some “lively times” full of Coen-brother witticisms, bizarre encounters and lots of bloody, goopy violence. Between the corpses and whiskey bottles, “True Grit,” of which the brothers Coen were both directors and screenplay adaptors, manages to pack in a few scenes of raw emotion that round it all out as an exceptional film.

What it should win: Best Actor in a Leading Role, hands down. The 1969 version landed John Wayne an Academy Award for the same role as the Marshal.

A whopping amount of credit is due to Charles Portis, the author of the novel both films are based on, for crafting a complex and compelling character of which audiences of any age cannot get enough. But have you seen Jeff Bridges? The man can do no wrong. If Rooster Cogburn could assemble himself out of the printed words and phrases Portis wrote and stand up out of that novel as flesh and blood, he would be Jeff Bridges — all southwestern slur, calculating killer and heart-warming hero for the underdog. The Coens’ idiom-rich twists on Portis’ text may also earn them the gold for Writing (Adapted Screenplay).

— Kim Kotel

‘127 Hours’

Don’t worry. “127 Hours” is the title — not the length — of this indie favorite.

The plot is simple. Cool hiker guy climbs into a cave in the middle of nowhere. Cool hiker guy slips and gets one arm trapped under a giant boulder. Cool hiker guy didn’t tell anyone where he was going. Thus, cool hiker guy has to survive the elements for five days before finally amputating his own arm in order to save his life. Oh, and James Franco stars as cool hiker guy Aron Ralston, so be prepared for many extreme close-ups of his stubble and ‘stache.

It doesn’t sound very promising, considering there is basically one actor and one location, which happens to be under a rock, for nearly the entire movie. The film gets graphic and nauseating at times, and the story would be pretty hokey if it wasn’t based on the real travails of mountaineer Ralston. The film was adapted from his autobiography “Between a Rock and a Hard Place” and describes Ralston’s struggle with documentary-like accuracy.

Although the plot is simple, the film’s story grows exponentially as Ralston’s mind and body deteriorate. Emotions run high as Ralston copes with, and ultimately overcomes, his own fear of death and relives parts of his life through flashbacks and dreams. Franco does an incredible job expressing Ralston’s physical and psychological pain. He would be a shoe-in for Best Actor in a Leading Role if he wasn’t also hosting the show. The film’s beautiful on-scene cinematography, creative editing, original storytelling and pure realism make this an artistic (though stomachchurning) film that is a valid contender for technical Oscars.

— Miranda Butler

‘The Fighter’

Beyond the familiar close-quarters scenes of fisticuffs set to Aerosmith jock jams, “The Fighter” is a brilliantly acted meditation on family, home and the wages of success in America.

Mark Wahlberg plays professional boxer Micky Ward, who struggles through one-sided matches and family bickering to bring pride to his hometown of Lowell, Mass. His brother and former fighter Dicky Eklund, played to sleazy perfection by a gaunt and garrulous Christian Bale, tries to coach Micky to glory, but is too often distracted by the call of the crack house. Micky’s mother and manager Alice (Melissa Leo) also gets distracted and mobilizes her seven frumpy daughters to harass Micky’s barmaid girlfriend Charlene (an adorable Amy Adams), one of those insufferable “MTV girls.” Between teeth-gnashing family vitriol and boxing montages that ooze adrenaline and intimacy, “The Fighter” delivers a roundhouse kick to the simple definition of the word “fight.”

Christian Bale’s jittery, wide-eyed Dicky is the media favorite for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and rightly so. Leo and Adams will duke it out in the supporting actress pool, but will probably both be upset by youngster Hailee Steinfeld (“True Grit”), because Hollywood loves setting new records. Editor Pamela Martin cuts between action shots like rabbit punches and deserves the editing Oscar. David O. Russell could go for the technical knockout in Directing and Best Picture.

— Brandon Specktor

Bros and other people who don’t see good movies may be disappointed when the “best film since ‘Iron Man 2’, brah” doesn’t take home the two awards that would legitimize all the undue hype. It may sweep the sound and editing categories, and composer Hans Zimmer might even snag another Oscar for Best Music (Original Score). But pitted against the infinitely better-acted “The King’s Speech” for Best Picture? In your dreams! James Cameron’s CGI-centric magnum opus “Avatar” went home empty-handed for Best Picture, losing out to his exie’s character-driven historical drama. Feel free to draw parallels on your own. Also, note the lack of Oscar nods for past-time winners or nominees Leonardo DiCaprio and Ken Watanabe. Inception was a visual thrill, no argument there, but its painfully obvious frame story and hammy acting isn’t going to do it any favors stacking up against Colin Firth’s Oscar machine or the wonderfully dark “The Social Network”.

— Remy Albillar

‘The Kids Are All Right’

“The Kids Are All Right” presents a witty, quirky portrayal of the difficulties and struggles involved in finding and re-igniting love in a mature relationship.

Nic (Annette Bening) and Jules (Julianne Moore) are a married lesbian couple who have each given birth to a child using the same anonymous sperm donor. The unconventional family appears happy until the children, Joni and Laser, make contact with their biological father. The easy-going, bachelorhood-loving Paul (Mark Ruffalo) puts relationships and family ties to the test.

After creating a stir at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, “The Kids Are All Right” won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy. Bening also walked away with the Golden Globe for Best Actress in the same category.

Praise for the film has followed it to the Academy Awards, earning it four nominations including Best Picture and Best Writing (Original Screenplay). Bening is once again in the running for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and the film also earned Ruffalo a nod for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Given the lofty competition this year, “The Kids Are All Right” will, most likely, not walk away from the Kodak Theater with any Oscars on Sunday night. Bening’s subtle performance as Nic, however, is far more accessible, and less creepy, than Natalie Portman’s Nina (“Black Swan”). The type-A, control-freak performance could earn her the win.

‘Toy Story 3’

Gone are the golden days of playing cowboys and spacemen with Andy. When Buzz and Woody’s owner heads off to college, the toys panic, envisioning a future of lonely years and dusty boxes.

Instead of waiting to be carted up to the attic, the toys “escape” to Sunnyside Daycare. When hyperactive toddlers slobber all over dreams of afternoon teas and quiet make-believe, Woody, Buzz and the gang run for the hills. When their flight spirals out of control with a surprise detour to the dump, storage in Andy’s attic begins to look a little better.

For an animated movie, “Toy Story 3” packs a serious punch. Sprinkled with humor and peril, the third installment of the “Toy Story” series is sure to make you cry — either from laughing or that undeniable tug on your heartstrings. It may not be social commentary, but anyone can relate to this story about growing up, being left behind and hanging on to what matters most. Obviously, “Toy Story 3” doesn’t miss out on typical Disney clichés.

Still, Woody and Buzz make the journey worthwhile. Whether or not it’s worth Best Picture has yet to be determined.

‘The Social Network’

Photo courtesy: beyondhollywood.com

Making “a few enemies” in the quest for 500 million friends is an understatement. “The Social Network”, directed by David Fincher (“Fight Club,” “Se7en”) and starring Jesse Eisenberg (“Adventureland”), chronicles the (heavily fictionalized) rise to fame — or infamy — of Mark Zuckerberg, the creator of Facebook.

Zuckerberg starts the movie as a Harvard sophomore who, after a breakup, creates a program to pit girl against girl in the dorms of the Ivy League school. Quickly, he’s employed to program for two school hotshots, then evolving the ideas into his own network of cool. Zuckerberg just as quickly morphs into a businessman, quits school, moves to Los Angeles and befriends trickster and Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake). This move leads to double lawsuits by old friends cut out from the top and ex-cronies angered by Zuckerberg’s capitalization on their kernel of intellectual property.

The lead character, haunted by a drive to create a way to connect people, is played expertly by the unassuming, cut-to-the-chase attitude of the uber-talented — and uber-humble — Eisenberg. Timberlake, although I personally miss his parking-lot dancing and Britney look-a-like dissing songs, does a good job playing the party boy past his prime. Armie Hammer Jr., who could have spent his time rolling in baking soda fortune, fooled most into thinking he was two people. The movie is not life-changing stuff. It’s some college guys fighting over who saw the gold first — but the way it’s done resonates in a way which could bring them more gold. Oscar gold.

’The tragedy in Tucson happens every day in Juarez’ Filmmaker hopes to educate viewers about less-publicized violence

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

In the last three years, Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, has seen thousands die in its streets, as drug cartels and gang violence have taken the lives of men, women and children. It is a story of human rights violations that filmmaker Charlie Minn said must be told.

And he’s telling it, starting this Friday at Tucson Spectrum 18, in his documentary “8 Murders a Day.” Minn began documentary work in September 2009 with “A Nightmare in Las Cruces.” Working on the film, which details the unsolved robbery and execution-style shooting of seven people in a bowling alley in New Mexico, Minn interacted with people affected by the perpetual violence in Juarez. This inspired him to investigate further.

“Juarez is about to lose a whole generation of people,” Minn said. “The victims and the criminals are getting

younger and younger (and) … every night there’s about seven or eight people in Mexico with a hole in their head.”

Just south of El Paso, Texas, Juarez is a 1.5 million-person city known as the murder capital of the world (outside active war zones). The homicide rate in Juarez is 229 killings per 100,000 inhabitants, around 32 times more dangerous than New York City.

“I was disappointed in myself that I didn’t know more about it,” Minn said.

The documentary, filmed from October to December 2010, illustrates “one of the great human rights disasters in the world today,” he said.

“We weren’t on a 30-day budget and Tom Hanks wasn’t on the film,” Minn said. “It’s an independent film at its heart … (and) if this movie wasn’t called ‘8 Murders a Day,’ it’d be called ‘No Justice,’ because the corruption in Juarez is extreme.”

The documentary mixes real-life interviews with still shots pulled from

local law enforcement agencies to show a situation Minn said isn’t like anything out there but should be understood by more people than just those around the El PasoJuarez area.

“It’s graphic, it’s real, it tells the story accurately. It isn’t the easiest film to watch, but it’s real.

It resonates to the entire country,” Minn said. “This is not the Middle East; this is happening right at our doorstep, and it’s spilling over.”

After selling out crowds in Texas and debuting the film in Phoenix, Minn hopes people feel the same shock that he did at not knowing of the tragedy in Juarez, and that they care about how it affects their lives.

“I just hope they aren’t going to see the movie coming out and say ‘It’s far away,’” Minn said. “The tragedy in Tucson, it should be recognized to the extent it was, but that happens every day in Juarez.”

campuscreatives: Vicky Westover Hanson Film Institute director loves producing films and festivals

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Vicky Westover says she is “embarrassed” by how much time she can spend on her couch watching films.

As program director for the UA’s Jack and Vivian Hanson Film Institute, Westover watches numerous films each week — for her classes, for film festivals and events she is organizing and, of course, for the institute.

Westover is an adjunct faculty member for the UA’s new School of Theatre, Film and Television and serves as the Fox Tucson Theatre’s program director.

She also produces the occasional film or documentary.

While her first love is photography, Westover’s love of film began when, as an exchange student in England, she took a film appreciation class.

“I went expressly to study film. When I got there, not enough of the English students had signed up for the film classes, so they canceled them,” Westover said, laughing.

Even though Westover wasn’t able to learn how to make films during this time, she was able to take the film appreciation class with a professor who would later become a director for the International Film Festival Rotterdam, a major forum for independent films around the world.

“It really deepened my love of film and I began to understand that there were actually people in the world who presented film as a profession, that that was their career,” Westover said. “After I finished my undergraduate degree program, I realized that if I didn’t become a filmmaker, I could still be involved in film more in this presenting capacity.”

I spoke with Westover as the institute was preparing for the Native Eyes Film Showcase and Tucson Cine Mexico, a film festival that is hosted in collaboration with Cinema Tropical and the Mexican Consulate in Tucson and is scheduled for early March.

How did you get into producing films?

When people ask me what I do, I say I produce films, film events and programs. … When I was producing festivals and events, people would say, “You should be a producer.” And I used to just laugh. But they really are similar skill sets. So when I came here, a colleague here asked me to produce her short film (“Alma”). I said,

I’m kind of embarrassed to say this, but I really like historical costume dramas. I’m a sucker for Merchant Ivory films and things like that, Masterpiece Theater, “Amadeus.”

I just love that kind of stuff. I love history. I like production design and costumes. … But I also like thrillers. I like Jason Bourne and all the Bourne films. But one of my all-time favorite films is “Wings of Desire” by Wim Wenders — it’s a German film. So I have eclectic tastes.

Is that the one where the angel falls in love with a woman?

Mm-hmmm. So can I share with you the highlight of my programming career?

Robert Alcaraz/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Vicky Westover, the director of the Hanson Film Institute, talks about her new and upcoming film projects on Feb. 2. Westover has been a dominant force in the film industry for years.

“Uh, I’ve never done that before.” She said, “Yeah, but I think you can do it.” So I did and realized it’s identical skill sets. Then another faculty member came to me and said, “Would you produce my film?” It’s like, OK. Then an alum came to me and said, “Would you produce my film?” … So it’s been fun for me, after being this person (a film programmer) to also now being on the other side of trying to make things and get them into festivals. That’s kind of fun.

Can you tell me what “Apache 8” is about?

It’s about an all-women firefighting crew from the White Mountain Apache Reservation (near Payson, Ariz.) … This crew has been fighting fires on and off the reservation since the 1970s. It has since been reintegrated with men. But when it started in the ‘70s, women hadn’t yet been allowed in the United States onto professional fire crews. The first woman had to sue her way onto the New York City Fire Department. So these women were fighting wildland fires before it was considered an OK thing for women to be professional firefighters. …

So it focuses on these four women. One is the first Apache woman hotshot. The other one is in her 50s and about to retire. She’s the crew boss and she has been leading this

THE

W

group of women for years. Not just about their firefighting, but it’s also about their lives and their struggles, and other kinds of issues on the reservations, hardships, joys and triumphs. They’re amazing women.

They’re pretty much unknown.

Given the numerous projects you and the institute are involved in, how many staff members and interns work here?

I am a staff of one. I’m just amazingly efficient, I guess, or crazy or insane, but I manage to pull it all off. But you see, collaboration is helpful. There are a lot of people who willingly support the work either in their own professional capacity or just out of love and interest for film and Tucson and what we’re doing.

Then I manage every semester to get one or two good interns. There have been semesters where I have had nobody and that has been difficult. But this semester I’m lucky. I have Charissa (Delmar) who is helping with (Native Eyes Film Showcase), I have one student intern who is primarily working on Cine Mexico, and then I have one student who is kind of like a general intern. Three is a lot.

Are there any particular genres of film that you enjoy?

Campbell Spa & Nails (520) 881 - 6245

Oh, please do.

So I was running The Baltimore Film Forum. … We partnered with the historic movie theater there; it was called The Senator Theatre. It had been named one of the five best movie theaters in the country because of the quality of the exhibition, the quality of the sound, the screen. The projectionist was one of the greatest projectionists on the planet. Every film was lovingly checked frame by frame before it was ever shown. It was the best quality exhibition you could imagine. …

So, through someone I knew, we were able to invite Wim Wenders to Baltimore, because he had friends in Baltimore, and we learned that he was coming for a completely non-film related thing. So we invited him to come, and we would like to screen “Wings of Desire” because many people consider that to be his masterpiece, and we would do it at The Senator. Well, it just so happened that he had a brand-new 35-millimeter print of “Wings of Desire.”

He personally brought it from Germany.

This film was pristine. Not a speck on it.

Beautiful rich blacks, beautiful glowing silver light.

So we screened “Wings of Desire,” the greatest print of it possible in the greatest theater ever. We had over a thousand people in the audience and we had the director. He gave a Q&A that wouldn’t end — it was like a two-hour Q&A — with people in the audience who just loved this film and had seen it a lot of times. So the quality of the conversation was really amazing. That was one of the greatest nights of my life as a film programmer. (Laughs.) That’s the kind of thing that turns me on.

Q: Dear Advisor: I had problems in my classes last semester, and now my mom wants to talk with my advisor. The advisor declined to share any information with her, though. Why? - Seeking Support A: Dear Seeking Support: College students’ academic records are protected by a federal policy called the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). According to FERPA, external parties (including parents) cannot be given access to students’ education records. Records include grades, transcripts, course work and exams, disciplinary records, and any other information that is directly related to a specific student. The only information that can be shared is that which is considered “directory information.” This includes information such as a student’s name, address, phone number, major, and dates of attendance.

Students can choose to keep even this information private by changing their privacy restrictions in UAccess.

Students can choose to waive their FERPA rights. If you would like your advisor to share information with your mom, you have the option of signing an Authorization for Release of Information form (available online through the Office of the Registrar). Signing this release does not mean, however, that your advisor will start communicating directly with your mother. A likely scenario would be that you meet with your advisor and your mom would sit in on the appointment. For your own benefit, it is critical that you be the one who initiates conversations and understands information about your own academic situation. Whether or not you choose to keep your parents in the loop is a secondary concern.

Q: Dear Advisor: I’m planning to graduate in May. Is there anything I need to do?

– Moving On A: Dear Moving On: To graduate, you must first initiate a formal “degree check.” Through this process, one or more academic advisors will review your course record to ensure that you have met all the requirements for your degree. You will also need to submit an application for degree candidacy and pay a $35 processing fee.

The process for initiating your degree check varies according to major and college. For specific information about your major(s), visit the Graduations Services website and select degree candidacy.

Contact your major advisor for instructions on how to begin. If you are planning to graduate with two or more degrees, you will need to complete a degree check for each program. You have until March 29 to file your degree check and have your name printed in the Spring 2011 commencement program.

HUB continued from page 6 Restaurant and Creamery.

Located one block west of Rialto Theatre and only open since last week, it’s easy to see why HUB is one of the more anticipated additions to the downtown area.

From its bare brick walls that speak to the building’s history, to the menu that seems to be laid out by and for graphic designers, HUB caters to those who want a downtown restaurant that’s both comforting and contemporary. It’s like a 1950s diner that went through a makeover.

That said, HUB isn’t necessarily exploring new frontiers with its menu of American classics. The rotisserie pork loin plate, for example, with its roasted potatoes and a vegetable mix featuring baby broccoli, is something that can be made at home.

But the details distinguish HUB’s food from what most of us make in our kitchens: The moist pork loin is suffused with the flavor from a rub of garlic and herbs. The ciabatta

bread in the porchetta sandwich is toasted just right with the caramelized onions melding with strips of pork. The freshly squeezed lemonade is not overly sweet and its tartness tastes genuine.

While HUB’s focus is on roasted meats, vegetarians can still find comfort in the restaurant’s offerings. The vegetables are treated with a respectfully light touch. Even in a dish like pot pie, a carrot really tastes like a carrot.

There were a few missteps during my visits to HUB. An order of French fries that were supposed to come with my porchetta sandwich had been forgotten and arrived lukewarm. HUB ran out of its inhouse fruit punch … by lunchtime.

All of this can be easily forgiven once you get to dessert. The standout at HUB is the ice cream, which is made on-site. Regardless of what I ordered, every spoonful was creamy and rich with no particular ingredient overpowering the others, which is no easy feat with flavors like honey ginger, salted caramel or oatmeal raisin cookie. Compared to the rest of HUB’s menu, the ice cream can be surprisingly

OM SHANTI continued from page 6 While desperately trying to fritter away hours of midair monotony, Abhishek Gulati, a molecular and cellular biology senior, and a few of his closest friends began discussing the possibility of forming a Hindi dance group at the UA. Gulati and friends would only be freshmen in the coming fall. A dance troupe, ideally, would ease the transition by letting them hold onto something they all loved.

“Dance had been part of our lives for a long time,” Gulati said. “So now that we were going to go to college, we felt like, ‘Why should we stop now?’”

Om Shanti’s first year started out small — just six friends meeting together to choreograph a small number for a performance in the spring of 2009 — but from there, the original six decided to take the group to a higher level: the Bollywood competition circuit.

“We wanted to coordinate a group of about 20 to 25 people for the next year, so we started to find people that were interested in the group and decided to hold auditions the summer before (the fall 2009 semester),” Gulati said. “Then, over the summer, a few of us went and got costumes and props and started getting parts of the dance ready before the actual semester started.”

The team’s first year of competition was a rewarding one. After a semester of grueling rehearsals, the newly-formed group placed second at Bollywood Berkeley. This taste of victory whetted members’ appetites for competition and upped the ante for the Om Shanti crew; there was a whole year of competitions to come.

SPRING 2010 — Tucson

Preparations for competition began with team auditions, commencing immediately after classes resumed in August.

“What’s really amazing about our team compared to other schools is that there are so many of us that are not dancers,” said Kavya Giridharan, a biochemistry junior and the team’s choreographer. “I mean, we have to really ask people to come to our try-outs because we need people on

adventurous. HUB has an ice cream bar set in the middle of the dining area, so diners and dates can easily stop in to share a few scoops or order a pint to take home.

A check for just two entrées starts at $20, so HUB is not a place for those who are budget conscious or living with student loans. But the friendly and helpful staff, cozy atmosphere and late hours — the late-night menu has not yet been finalized — make HUB a good place to rest after a weeknight outing.

With its arrival, HUB looks set to fulfill all sorts of ice cream cravings. Once it settles into the neighborhood, HUB’s comfort food may be able to help nurture the burgeoning nightlife in downtown Tucson.

our team — more so guys than girls. So, the variety of people we get are people that have never been on stage ever in their lives.”

The team captains chose to limit the group to 18 members. Once the roster was cut to meet the quota, Om Shanti wasted no time in starting rehearsals and beginning to coordinate costumes and stage props.

“It’s not a dance; it’s a production — a storyline, a mini play almost,” Giridharan said. “There’s the music aspect, the costume aspect, the prop aspect, the lighting aspect … there are so many different things that go into it.”

A Bollywood team’s competition production begins with a two-minute introduction video that sets the premise of a story. Following is an eight-minute dance that enacts the conflict and resolution of the story over a variety of music.

This year, Om Shanti’s theme involves a love triangle between three best friends, a concept that Giridharan drew from the Bollywood hit “Mujhse Dosti Karoge!” Once the theme was set, it was up to the team to come together to make it their own.

“When we met as a group in the fall, we all got together and took it, and tore it apart and improved it as a group,” Giridharan said.

The team began rehearsals in September, meeting every Sunday night from 9 p.m. to midnight at the Student Recreation Center and every Wednesday from 10 p.m. to midnight in the Ina E. Gittings Gym. As the competition grew closer, Om Shanti bumped rehearsals up to three times a week, plus weekends. Practices lasted until the wee hours of the morning and were always in a different location.

“We counted,” said Giridharan, “and we practiced in 14 different places around campus. We would seriously travel in our group of 18 from one place to another just trying to find a warm covering so we could just dance. … We sometimes even practiced in the garage until like 2 or 3 in the morning.”

Procuring the team’s costumes was a far simpler matter. From svelte, shirtless men to women in glittery harem pants and bra-tops, the attire is a key feature used to boost the “wow” factor of a team’s dance.

Last year, due to lack of funds, the Om

“Weird” Al Yankovic received a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture.

He also served as valedictorian of his high school at age 16.

HUB, a new restaurant and ice creamery located at 266 E. Congress St., offers homemade ice cream with special flavors including bourbon almond brittle. Displayed are strawberry, chocolate, salted caramel and troupe 54, which uses Thin Mints.

Shanti team made their own costumes.

This year Giridharan purchased the team’s attire during a summer trip to India.

The team’s routine featured a total of six different costume changes — three for the women and three for the men.

Along with extravagant costumes, Bollywood Dance competitions are known for outrageous stage props and scenery.

The team’s past performance involved a giant remote control that lit up when dancers pressed its buttons. This year Om Shanti built several 6-foot-tall mirror props and a 22-foot-high gazebo that dropped onstage from the rafters. Smaller handheld props were also used by the dancers during different sections of the routine.

“Most teams don’t make the props themselves. They have these huge backdrops that people make for them, or 50 feet by 20 feet huge props … but we don’t have anywhere near enough funds to do what they do, so we engineer everything and make it ourselves,” Gulati said.

FEBRUARY 2011 — Berkeley, Calif.

Despite months of careful preparation, the weekend of the Feb. 5 competition was a wild roller-coaster ride for Om Shanti members.

When the group members arrived in California, they discovered that they had left their fire retardant spray in Arizona, leaving their props and costumes vulnerable to hot stage lights. Several members searched the web for how to make flame retardant and then rushed to the store to purchase household detergents and insecticide to brew their own batch.

To make matters worse, one Om Shanti dancer rolled her ankle during dress rehearsal. “We wrapped her ankle like three times and had it raised while we were sitting in the dressing room an hour before we had to go on,” Giridharan said.

“And I was sitting there with a paper, scheming out new formations in case she couldn’t go on. Luckily, though, she pulled through.”

The biggest surprise for the team was the caliber of its competitors’ routines.

“This year was a completely different experience from last year,” said Akila Prasad, a speech and hearing pathology sophomore. “Every single team that didn’t

place upped their game 100 percent this year. … They had changed their style of dancing so much. We were in awe when we went to watch.”

The hour came, and Om Shanti took the stage.

“We basically rocked the show,” recalls Gulati.

In spite of the initial setbacks, Om Shanti managed to secure a thirdplace standing at Bollywood Berkeley.

While team members are somewhat disappointed about placing lower than last year’s second-place title, they are treating the experience as a lesson. “I thought our choreography was maybe better than the second place team’s (University of San Diego), but I think their entertainment factor one upped us,” said Ashkan Alkhamisi, a molecular and cellular biology senior and Om Shanti’s administrative captain.

Giridharan also took home the title of overall best female lead.

“We were more excited about that than of the fact that we got third place,” said Alkhamisi.

Feb. 7, 2011 — Back home

The team returned to Tucson on Monday with only a few days to recoup and get caught up on school work.

Rehearsals resumed last Thursday as the group set its sights on placing at Jhoomti Shaam, a competition held at UCLA on March 5.

“Berkeley has really driven us,” Alkhamisi said. “I think everyone now realizes that we can be so much better, and I think that drive and motivation is really there now.”

Along with bringing home Bollywood titles, Om Shanti is striving to gain more support and become more of a presence in the campus and Tucson community.

“We want to create a tradition that will be here to stay at the U of A,” Giridharan said. “Prior to this, some people didn’t even know where Arizona was on the map … they had no idea that we were capable of placing as we did. I feel like it’s just amazing how 18 students — full-time students — can come together and create something so incredible.

“I think that is so inspiring that Arizona is capable of so much.”

Best Smiles Winner at the Student Union Information Desk So you think you have an award-winning smile?

I think so. My mom paid a lot of money in Los Angeles to pay for my braces, so she thinks I have a great smile.

You are in an emergency fire and you can only save one person, your best friend or your significant other?

My significant other because it’s my significant other, depending if him and I are in marriage; if we are in a tiff, I don’t know. But if he is my real, exclusive significant other then he can provide me with some things my best friend can’t provide me, so depending on the situation.

First car, what was it?

Just got it about two and a half weeks ago and it is a 2010 Dodge Avenger, black metallic with two-tone leather.

First song you, ya’ know, bumped?

I was one of those people who was not really into the playing music thing so I am trying to think of the who, when and where … let’s just say it was some type of R&B song, probably R. Kelly or something, who knows.

What is something that makes you smile?

Sounds really mushy, but spending time with my mom.

I went back home to L.A. for NBA All Star Weekend and my mom surprised myself and my boyfriend to be part of this 3-D viewing party where we were the only people in the entire world to watch the game in 3-D. Seeing my mom really makes me smile, really makes me happy, I’m a mama’s girl, it’s just me and her. We have our tiffs, but that’s another story.

USDA has beef with zombie jerky It’s hard enough marketing snack foods to zombies without the U.S. Department of Agriculture being persnickety about the wording on the label.

That’s what Aaron Rasmussen of Harcos Laboratories, a Los Angelesbased maker of novelty products and food items, discovered last summer when the company decided to create Zombie Jerky, a line of beef jerky designed specifically for zombies and the people who love them.

It’s an idea that seems, like the average zombie, a no-brainer.

“Last May, we heard about some blue-colored zombie jerky that was released in Japan,” Rasmussen

told AOL News. “Since it wasn’t available here, we thought we’d make it and use the color green, which is better for zombies, I think.”

Plus, jerky for zombies fit in with other Harcos Labs products like flavored Zombie Blood and Blood Energy Potion, an energy drink served in a package that looks like a plasma container from the hospital.

Rasmussen was so sure the path to getting Zombie Jerky to its target market would be smooth that he announced it before getting label approval from the USDA. “We announced it, and it spread across the Internet,” Rasmussen said.

Uh-oh, bad idea.

“They were very good sports through the whole process, especially when presented with a green beef jerky that was marked as being parts of zombie flesh,” Rasmussen said. “But they also take their jobs very seriously.”

Seems there were a few sticking points with the label, specifically terms like “mutagen free” and calling the flavor of the jerky “Teriyucky.” The reviewer also suggested removing or modifying statements that the jerky meat came from “naturally occurring zombies” and that it “doesn’t turn you into a zombie.”

Melissa Brooks majored in Finance and graduated in May 2007. Hailing from Eden Prairie, Minnesota, she had well defined plans when she arrived on the UA campus. She was determined to “get away from the cold weather, major in business, and make new friends.

What I didn’t realize until later was how amazing the University of Arizona is, what a great education the business school provides, and that I would meet some of the best friends that I could ever ask for!” Melissa had this advice for fellow Wildcats: “Find a job before you graduate! It’s a lot of work completing your last semester in college, having fun with all your friends, AND trying to look for a job, especially out of state! But it’s incredibly worth it.” For her complete success story, please go to www. career.arizona.edu, click on “More News” for the articles archives and filter at the bottom for Success Stories.

Pac-10 leader emerging as national contender

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT When Arizona men’s basketball appeared in the national top 10 on Monday, forward Jesse Perry’s phone started blowing up.

“I got a lot of phone calls,” Perry said.

“I got calls from cousins, my mother, everybody is really excited about what we’re doing, and they want us to keeping winning.”

The Wildcats are riding an eight-game win streak, and with that, have taken a new role.

“Now we’re considered as a target,” Perry said. “I don’t think nobody expected Arizona to do the things it did this year, coming off the season they had last year.

“I think we’re more of a target now, and guys are looking forward to playing and beating us.”

As the Wildcats have surprised most in the college basketball world and some national media will debate whether Arizona deserves to be ranked this high, Perry said he believes it’s a sign of the team’s effort.

“I wouldn’t really say surprised, but I can say I’m excited,” he said. “Anything is really possible with the hard work we put in over the summertime, I feel we deserve where we are right now.”

Though Perry isn’t surprised by his team’s success, he’s getting more than he bargained for when he first arrived at Arizona.

“Coming from junior college, I never really expected to be in this position,” Perry said. “In the top-10, starting, playing pretty good and playing with a bunch of good guys on our team, I never really thought of it like that.”

Now that the Wildcats move amongst the elite teams in college basketball, it comes with added pressure. Though, according to head coach Sean Miller, his team is anxious for the next game.

“Nobody is more excited about playing

right now than we are,” Miller said. ”We’re fortunate to have a lot at stake with four games remaining.”

Arizona is a weekend sweep away from its first Pacific 10 Conference championship since 2005. The challenge for the Wildcats now will be to not let the attention distract them from the task at hand.

“We can’t control the ranking or the standings outside of our next game,” Miller said of the pressure to continue winning.

“What keeps our team focused is we’re playing for a Pac-10 championship.”

“We can’t deviate from what’s gotten us to this point.”

Miller, having won three Atlantic 10 Conference championships at Xavier, knows what it takes to win a conference championship but believes winning one at Arizona will be different.

“The one thing about when I became the head coach at Xavier is we had a number of guys that played on an elite eight team and won a conference when they were younger,” Miller said. “In our locker room, in terms of winning a Pac10 title, we don’t have anybody. Part of these next four games is keeping our team focused.”

Arizona appears to be in the perfect position to win the Pac-10, but, according to Miller, it’s not that simple.

“It’s never quite as easy as you think it is,” he said. “The reason why you feel good about being able to accomplish it is how hard it is. These next two weeks will be as hard as any.”

Williams returns to practice

Forward Derrick Williams returned fully to practice after missing the last few to protect his injured hand. Williams was told by doctors he may be able to play with a smaller wrap on his hand this weekend in Southern California.

“I think he’s feeling better now than he has,” Miller said. “Hopefully we can continue to get clearance, and he’s playing with it wrapped but less.”

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Forward Jesse Perry, right, said that the Pacific 10 Conference-leading Wildcats are now considered a target as they close out the regular season. Arizona will carry its eight-game win streak to Los Angeles this weekend when it takes on Southern California and UCLA.

Ibekwe taking over

SWIM BRIEF

UA heads to tournament

By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Senior forward key to Arizona women’s basketball three-game win streak

COMMENTARY BY Alex Williams sports writer

Ify Ibekwe is going to leave Arizona with a bang. She’s making sure of it.

The senior forward has been Arizona’s most proactive player during its current three-game win streak, scoring 23 points per game and averaging 13 rebounds — well above her season averages of 16 points and 10 boards.

Ibekwe has made changes in her game in the last two weeks — she started boxing out instead of recklessly reaching for rebounds — but the biggest difference between Ibekwe during Arizona’s four-game losing streak and the Ibekwe on the court now is simple: She’s healthy.

Ibekwe had been battling some ailment — she wouldn’t say exactly what — during the streak in which Arizona lost four straight and five of seven games. She was even limited to only 12 minutes in the season’s first matchup with ASU, a 32-point loss.

Now, Ibekwe is back on her perch as one of the best players in the Pacific 10 Conference, and she’s taking names while Arizona is racking up wins.

But don’t think for a second that Ibekwe is doing it without the rest of her teammates. The Wildcats have started to form a supporting cast around the senior from Carson, Calif., and that’s a big reason for Arizona’s upswing. But that supporting cast is going to have to start taking games over for themselves, because opposing coaches are going to be building their game plans around stopping Ibekwe.

The Wildcats are playing their most confident basketball of the season right now, and maybe their most confident basketball since Niya Butts took over as head coach in 2008.

On Thursday, we will find out just

how far Arizona women’s basketball team has really come in the last year.

The Wildcats take on No. 11 UCLA, which beat Arizona 70-60 in Los Angeles earlier this season.

With a win, Arizona — much like its male counterpart did Saturday — would announce to the conference that it’s back as a force to be reckoned with.

OK. Maybe it’s not exactly the same, but the Wildcats would at least be letting the conference’s top teams know that Arizona won’t stand for being taken lightly anymore.

But Arizona’s going to have to make that statement with Ify Ibekwe getting double and triple-teamed, because opposing coaches are going to start choosing Ibekwe as the one player on Arizona’s roster that they can’t let beat them.

And they’ll choose her every single time.

When it comes to the Swimming Pacific 10 Conference Championships, ladies go first. The No. 7 Arizona women’s swimming and diving team starts competition today in Federal Way, Wash., at the Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatic Center.

The team went 7-4 in their dual meet season.

Despite the lower ranking in comparison to past Arizona teams, the squad is going into the meet bearing several nationally ranked times.

Among the list, junior Alyssa Anderson, who was recently awarded Counsilman-Hunsaker National Collegiate Swimmer-of-the-Week, is ranked No. 1 in the 500-yard freestyle and No. 3 in both the 200y freestyle and 200y butterfly.

Freshman Margo Geer, who is considered one of the nation’s best sprinters, holds the No. 2 time for the 50y freestyle and No. 3 time in the 100y freestyle. For the 100y breaststroke, sophomore Ellyn Baumgardner has the No. 3 fastest time in the country.

And, for medleys, Arizona has the No. 2 time for the 200y and No. 3 time for the 400y.

Similar to the Texas Invitatiional back in December, many of the swimmers are aiming to obtain NCAA cut times.

As Busch and the swimmers have reiterated throughout the season, their “big dance” is the NCAA tournament in March.

The women’s team will compete today through Saturday, while the No. 6 men’s team is at home preparing for its shot in the conference meet next week.

Simon says

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Junior garners national award

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The No. 18 Arizona baseball team opened the season in style after sweeping the North Dakota State Bison in three games during the weekend.

Although most of the Wildcats had a stellar weekend, junior righthander Kyle Simon’s outing on Saturday made him the star. His career-high 13 strikeouts over 7.2 innings on the mound had him named one of three Louisville Slugger National Players of the Week.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat talked to Simon after his solid performance and discussed the team so far, his future plans and how to Dougie.

Daily Wildcat: What’s the emotion been like in the clubhouse after the weekend sweep?

Kyle Simon: We’ve been going at it pretty hard this year so far, and to get the sweep for the first series was nice and the dominant pitching was great.

Everyone’s really excited to go for next weekend.

What’s it going to take to win at Long Beach State this weekend?

With them last year, we lost both games we played. But really with any team we play, we have to play them to the best of our abilities. It doesn’t really matter the opponent.

Let’s talk a little about your future. Would your eventual goal be the majors?

The plan is to leave (after) this

year and I’m going to start my minor league career.

If you could play for any professional club, where would it be?

Growing up in SoCal and everything, the Angels are huge. My dad’s a huge Angels fan, but really whoever takes me, and it’s the right spot in the right situation. I’ll travel to anywhere in the country.

Is there a Major League pitcher that you originally modeled your style after, or maybe someone you still look to for some tips?

I would say pitchers like Derek Lowe or Brandon Webb. Movement and sinker-slider type guys.

If you weren’t playing baseball right now, what would you be doing?

Well my major ’s psychology, so probably like a therapist or something, or a professional ping-pong player.

Who’s winning the World Series this year?

With the (pitching) staff that the Phillies have, I could see them only losing about three games this year.

What’s your favorite sports movie of all time?

I just watched “A League of Their Own” last night, I really like how it shows that baseball is loved as an American sport.

Your go-to restaurant in Tucson?

I’d probably go with Sauce; I love chicken and pasta and stuff like that.

Food you couldn’t live without?

I’m a big breakfast guy. I’ve got a lot of oatmeal, a lot of cereal. I’m also huge on Skittles; the crazy colors in the orange pack are the best things in the world.

Finally, can you teach me how to Dougie?

Being 6’ 5” and maybe the most awkward guy you’d meet, I cannot Dougie but I could probably learn the ropes. A few guys on the team know how to, so I could probably learn a little bit.
