Border liars beware Kiosk detects deception for security

UA proposes across-the-board increases

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA is leading research in helping border agents detect liars.

The AVATAR kiosk, the Automated Virtual Agent for Truth Assessments in Real-time, isn’t meant to eliminate humans but rather aid them in detecting lies.

“The basic problem is people lie and other people are really bad at detecting as to when they are being lied to,” said Doug Derrick, lead researcher of the AVATAR project and a UA doctoral candidate. “It’s a machine, so it doesn’t have a bias, it doesn’t have a bad day.”

The system has a sensor, which reads pupil dilation, eye gaze and focus, and the vocalic center, which measures changes in pitch and voice inflection. It also has a video camera and fingerprint reader.

After an interviewee pushes a button, the kiosk asks questions about what a person is carrying with them. If it detects a lie, it asks a series of follow-up questions.

Derrick’s latest study revealed that while humans accurately detect lies about 54 percent of the time, the AVATAR sensor system was accurate 84 percent of the time. When matched with voice inflection, the accuracy rate shot to 93 percent in test subjects ranging from UA students to border guards in the European Union, Derrick said.

“It’s been to Hawaii, St. Louis, El Paso, Washington D.C., Poland,” Derrick said.

Derrick and his team have been developing the kiosk’s software for three years. But it is based on AVATAR, page 3

Victory is Sweet (16)

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

TULSA, Okla. — Of all the blown leads resulting in painful losses and unbelievable wins, this one might have taken the cake.

Arizona looked doomed, down 69-67 with 14 seconds left, and the ball given to the Longhorns on the Wildcats’ end of the court. But a five-second call was issued to Texas on the inbounds,

the Wildcats (29-7) ran their own inbounds play without a timeout, and guard Kyle Fogg found Derrick Williams on a pick-and-roll for an And 1 that Arizona’s star completed to give the Wildcats a 70-69 victory over Texas in Tulsa, Okla.

UA med students meet their matches Disney-themed skits enliven residency reveal

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Each spring, medical students nationwide find out where they’ll be spending their residency. At the UA, students did it dressed as Goofy, Alice from “Alice in Wonderland” and Peter Pan. Amber Steves, dressed as Russell from the movie “Up,” pushed her way through a packed auditorium, with three rows of onlookers lining the walls and more sitting in the aisles, placed a dollar in a bag and ripped open her envelope.

Inside, it said “Fort Collins Family Medicine.” Steves is off to Colorado to become the first doctor in her family.

Her Colorado residency program was her first choice.

UA medical students will officially become doctors at graduation in May. But at the DuVal Auditorium in the University Medical Center on Thursday, each student’s assignment for residency training allowed him or her to pursue a specialty.

And along with UA tradition, the class performed a skit to match this year’s theme “The Wonderful World of Match 2011.”

“Your life is set from that point on,” said Flora Shah, who couples matched with her fiance Sanjay Sinha to LA-area hospitals. Shah will pursue internal medicine at a residency program at University of California MATCH DAY, page 2

COMING TOMORROW

The UA is proposing a $1,500 tuition increase for all resident students next year, according to the UA’s official proposal to the Arizona Board of Regents.

For residents, this would raise tuition to $9,114, a 19.7 percent increase over current tuition levels.

Non-resident tuition would increase by $600 to $24,574, a 2.5 percent rise, and students at UA South will see a raise of either a $600 for nonresidents or a $1,200 for residents.

Student fees will also increase, with the health, wellness and recreation fee increasing by $150 and the student information technology fee by $125.

The increase is meant to help offset another round of budget cuts from the state. Gov. Jan Brewer proposed cutting $170 million from the three state universities, including $67 million from the UA in her executive proposal, but the most recent proposition from the state Senate would cut an additional $65 million from the universities, raising the UA’s total cut to $92 million.

The UA’s proposed tuition increases do not cover additional cuts under the Senate proposal and UA President Robert Shelton said if the Senate proposal were adopted the UA would need to “rethink all aspects” of its 2012 budget.

In its proposal submitted to the regents during its most recent study session, the UA said that for every $10 million in lost state funding, tuition would have to be raised $500 to offset the cost.

The proposed tuition increase would raise an additional $22 million in revenue for the UA. “This tuition proposal, combined with our continued commitment to financial aid, will allow us to offer an accessible, affordable, high-quality education that Arizona students will need to successfully take our state to a brighter future,” said UA President Robert Shelton in a release.

Tuition at the other two state universities is also expected to increase.

Northern Arizona University’s proposal would increase tuition ranging from $184 to $1,045 and Arizona State University’s from $1,198 to $1,415, depending on residency and class standing.

Shelton said the UA does not compare itself to NAU or ASU because “each university offers a unique educational experience.”

Elma Delic, the board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association, said the differences in tuition increases among the universities were in line with the regents’ attempts to differentiate between the institutions.

Despite the tuition increases, Shelton said the UA will maintain the regents’ set-aside for need-based financial aid, TUITION, page 3

MATCH DAY continued from page 1 at Irvine. Sinha will pursue a pediatrics residency at the University of California, Los Angeles.

“In our career, training for medicine, Match Day is the most anxiety-driven day,” Sinha said. “Our whole future is affected by where we are going to go.”

This year’s graduating class had the highest percentage of students matched with their top choices in the UA’s history.

Dr. Larry Moher, professor of family and community medicine, remembers his Match Day in 1973. Moher’s time at Michigan State University didn’t have the fanfare of the UA’s Match Day. “It’s the culmination of their medical school career,” Moher said, “and until this moment, they really don’t know where in the country they will be going.”

During the first semester of senior year, medical students apply for residency programs across the nation. Students then submit a list of choices in February, the same time programs rank-order their favorite candidates to the National Resident Matching Program in Washington, D.C.

Around half of the UA’s medical students stay in Arizona, with more than a quarter staying in the Tucson-area.

Adam DaDeppo was an undergraduate student at the UA. He then spent five years as an acute nurse practitioner before pursuing a medical degree. Despite applying to five programs, DaDeppo knew a residency in Tucson was right for him.

“I’ve got a wife, three kids, a house. I didn’t want to be anywhere but here,” DaDeppo said. His residencies will be spent at UAaffiliated hospitals in anesthesiology and critical care.

The assignments from the 2011 Match Day correlate each student with their residency home. But for some, this won’t be their last Match Day experience.

“We’ll be couples matching again in three years,” Shah said. She and her fiance both want to specialize in their residency fields — Sinha in pediatric cardiology and Shah in gastroenterology or endocrinology.

“Not only is (Match Day) a relief but a sense of accomplishment,” Shah said. “A lot of us, we’ve been doing school straight since high school, so it’s finally a grown up thing that we are getting into.”

TUITION continued from page 1 which constitutes 17 percent of total tuition dollars.

The UA is also working to address the shortfall through staff reductions and program consolidation or elimination and “stands by” its commitment to cut $39 million from the university budget on top of tuition and fee increases.

“The UA is taking an aggressive path to reorganize itself around the critical issues confronting Arizona,” Shelton said. “The university has invested in interdisciplinary solutions to provide students with leading-edge learning opportunities that will uniquely qualify them to lead our state and country forward in the decades to come.”

Emily Fritze, the president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, called the cuts “discouraging” and said the cuts placed an additional burden on UA students.

“The immediate reaction we’re getting (from students) is frustration and concern about the increases,” Fritze said. “We hear these sorts of stories every day.”

Fritze said the cuts were in line with what ASUA had expected from conversations with UA administrators, but lamented

that tuition has almost doubled in the last six years.

State appropriation to the universities has fallen approximately $230 million since 2008, and the cuts proposed by the Senate would bring that total to $465 million, a 42 percent decrease in total state funding.

Regents Chair Anne Mariucci called that figure “appalling” in a release.

“Irresponsibly deep cuts in higher education funding will negatively impact Arizona’s economic recovery and thus future state revenues,” Mariucci said.

Delic said the group is continuing to combat tuition increases and the state Senate’s budget proposal. She also said it was important for students to get involved in the process and make their voices heard and highlighted ASA’s efforts to encourage students to write emails or call their legislators.

Shelton urged students to look beyond the sticker price of tuition and fees.

“With this tuition proposal, we will be able to continue our strong financial aid program,” he said. “The value of a UA degree must be maintaied and indeed appreciate with time.”

The regents will host a video-conference tuition hearing on March 28 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The UA’s link to the hearing will be held in Room 211 of the Harvill building.

Humans can mentally control only a few of those cues.

“It’s inevitable that tell-tale cues will leak out no matter how hard people try to control them when being interrogated,” Nunamaker said in an Eller College of Management news release.

The kiosk is the result of a sixyear grant the UA received from the Department of Homeland Security and is the flagship project of the UA, which heads the National Center for Border Security and Immigration, or Borders.

Each university within the group develops its own projects to deal with a section of policy or technology that affects the border region.

UA researchers hope to get both the sensor system and the vocal registry technology working in real time. They also are working to develop a broader set of languages for AVATAR to speak in and develop more cultural considerations as to how people in various countries physiologically respond when lying.

This could make this type of technology applicable in loan applications or job interviews, Derrick said.

Applicable trials could start in 12 to 18 months. A fully functioning prototype could be ready in three to five years, he said.

ASUA president will not be my president Storm Byrd Arizona Daily Wildcat

J

ust a day before election results were announced, this publication commended the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

The candidates were something seemingly new and, dare I say, “diverse.” It seemed as though ASUA may have been turning the corner and was expanding its representative abilities. Of course, we have since seen the outcomes of the elections and the Daily Wildcat retracted its statement of brighter futures in another editorial.

Both presidential candidates were disqualified, ASUA won’t say why, the candidates wouldn’t say why and there was just something expected about the outcomes. This election, which had the potential to be so very different, turned out just as we feared. The general rule of “he who has the most friends gets the most votes” held true yet again.

James Allen destroyed Daniel Hernandez in the presidential vote, and candidates with unique backgrounds were stomped by platforms that insist upon creating systems and programs that we already have.

Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti has announced that, due to the disqualification of both presidential candidates, a special election could be held unless Allen successfully appeals violations. A special election would open the playing field up to any interested UA students. Unfortunately, that includes the two candidates who just got disqualified.

In other words, Allen will run against Hernandez, and maybe some student will be crazy enough to think that in one week’s time of a special election, he/she can muster up the support to beat a candidate with national recognition and another who is a member of Greek Life (which, as has been mentioned several times, dominates student government).

What this all means is that we get another election, another week full of being pestered by people we don’t know and more listening to cries of foul play. I’ll bite and play devil’s advocate. Perhaps now that James Allen is not carrying the ticket of the Ponton brothers, he won’t get as many votes. Perhaps the 2,000 plus who voted for him won’t show up to vote again. It’s hard enough to get students between the ages of 18 and 24 to vote in a state government election once; I can’t imagine the fight of getting them to vote in an ASUA election twice. Maybe this new election will breed even more voters and we’ll have the chance of getting a truly representative student government and a president that can say that they truly hold a majority of the student body’s approval. Or maybe, a new candidate will rise and defeat both the violators.

Now that I’ve got that out of my system, we can go back to the likely reality. The election will be pointless. Instead of a front-page photo with utter disbelief, we’ll get a celebratory one of our new student body president. Fewer students will come out to vote, and most likely all the hype that we all build, myself included, will inevitably let us down. If any outside candidate tries to run, they’ll most likely only serve to make the margin of victory larger for the inevitable winner.

When the smoke clears and the votes are tallied, we’ll most certainly get what we deserve: A student body president who cheated the rules, but won anyway. That is in no way a knock or endorsement for one candidate or the other, it is simply fact. Hernandez and Allen both broke the rules, and one of them will win nonetheless.

I conclude with a quick quote from Allen, who was a few violations away from being the student body President of “YOUR student government.” “It is not good for the post (of president) for these sorts of violations to occur,” he told the Wildcat. “That was just the nature of the election this year.” That is about the lamest excuse for a violation I’ve heard since Cam Newton whipped out the, “I didn’t know my dad was shopping me around” excuse.

Outcry over A ‘ sians in the Library’ misguided Kristina Bui Arizona Daily Wildcat

“O

oh ching chong ling long ting tong ooh” is Asian for “What the hell, Internet?”

All right, not really. The question still stands though, and it’s a two-parter: First, what the hell, Alexandra Wallace? Wallace, a political science student at the University of California, Los Angeles, achieved Internet fame last week when she posted a video on YouTube. The video, a “rant” that she titled “Asians in the Library,” went viral during spring break.

Wallace begins by pointing out to the audience that she’s not the most politically correct person, so don’t take what she’s about to say offensively. Then Wallace goes on to describe how many Asians have been admitted to UCLA, and how they’re invading her apartment complex and the library. This wouldn’t be so terrible, if they weren’t always chatting on their cell phones. She sing-songs a little rhyme that goes, “Ching chong ling long ting tong.” According to Wallace, it’s what all those Asians are chanting while “checking on everybody from the tsunami thing.”

Don’t forget, guys, don’t take it offensively.

The sequel to “What the hell, Internet?” picks up shortly after the saga of Wallace leaves off. Wallace’s rant sets the Internet on fire, UCLA gets embarrassed and releases a statement calling the video “repugnant,” a Facebook group encourages that users report her to the dean and people call for her expulsion from UCLA. According to the Daily Bruin, Wallace reported receiving death threats by phone and email.

It goes without saying that Wallace is beyond ridiculous, and the mother who she claims to have raised her to be a “nice, polite American girl,” is probably deeply ashamed.

Unfortunately, the response to Wallace hardly proves anyone else is any classier.

Wallace’s rant was ignorant and childish.

But on a scale of 1 to racist, it was pretty mild. She could have said a lot worse. More than that, it wasn’t anything new. The only way it could have been more of a stale cliche was if Wallace had pulled the corners of her eyes into little slits while chanting.

The difference between Wallace and playground bullies is that she chose to

broadcast her mistake on the Internet, and people won’t let her take it back. Sending her death threats and calling for her expulsion sends one message to Wallace: Way to go, Alex, you really pissed a bunch of people off.

But it fails to teach her why people are so angry.

The backlash led Wallace to releasing two statements to the Daily Bruin. Both apologized for the video, but the second ends with an announcement: “I made a mistake.

My mistake, however, has lead (sic) to the harassment of my family, the publishing of my personal information, death threats, and being ostracized from an entire community.

Accordingly, for personal safety reasons, I have chosen to no longer attend classes at UCLA.” People make mistakes, and need to be offered the opportunity to learn from them, not forced to run away. In elementary school, when a little kid picks on another kid for having funny-shaped eyes or weird hair, you don’t tell the little kid they deserve to die. You sit them down and you explain to them that everyone’s a little different.

You can’t fight stupid with stupid.

You don’t stop stupid by driving her to withdrawing from school. Stupid doesn’t respond to name-calling or death threats, and there’s nothing to feel morally superior about when you try to scare stupid out of people.

GUEST COLUMN

ASUA should be open, accountable David Cuillier Guest Columnist

S

tudents of the UA: You are losing your clout, and unless you stand up for yourselves you will be treated simply like customers, or worse, kids.

A story in the March 11 Arizona Daily Wildcat stated that your two ASUA presidential candidates were disqualified and the university won’t tell you why.

For all you know they got caught drinking.

Or maybe their grades are too low, or they violated election rules. Or maybe they did nothing wrong and the administration just doesn’t like them. Who knows? You don’t.

The government won’t tell you.

According to ASUA Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti, they are keeping it secret because of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. I’m not sure if that’s true, or who would give such advice, but it’s misguided. The university could certainly explain the reasons for why it disqualified its student presidential candidates, if it wants to.

This federal privacy law, FERPA, is once again being abused and twisted beyond recognition. Universities have cited FERPA for keeping parking tickets secret, saying they are educational records. They’ve tried to use FERPA to hide corruption, favoritism and nepotism. One school cited FERPA to keep school lunch menus secret.

The creator of the law, former U.S. Sen. James L. Buckley, told the Columbus Dispatch a few years ago that, “Things have gone wild. These are ridiculous extensions. One likes to think common sense would come into play. Clearly, these days, it isn’t true.”

He’s right. Last week was national “Sunshine Week,” which is intended to raise public awareness about government transparency. But from what I’ve seen

around the country, secrecy is creeping ever more insidiously throughout government, including universities. This year some states crafted new public record laws that are more secretive than those of Mexico and former Soviet republics, such as Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan. While we send soldiers overseas to fight for democracy, we are losing it little by little in our own homeland.

The intent of FERPA was to protect students from unwarranted invasions of privacy, such as being embarrassed by poor grades or other “educational records.” As in most privacy laws, the idea is if the information would be highly offensive to the average person and of no legitimate public concern, then it should be kept secret. I agree with that.

But we’ve gone astray. Government agencies are forgetting about that “legitimate public concern” part, which is why Buckley has called upon Congress to revamp FERPA. Clearly there is a legitimate public concern to know why two presidential candidates are banned from seeking office. That speaks to what our government is up to, and outweighs the candidates’ privacy interests.

If anything, the secrecy is going to hurt the candidates more than help them, given the flurry of rumors that will probably be far worse than reality. Transparency is cleansing — secrecy breeds mistrust and paranoia.

Even if the ASUA candidate documents are “educational records,” such as grades, they are now campaign records, relevant to an issue of public importance, and they should be made public. The U.S. Department of Education is not going to punish the UA for being open about election violations. It all comes down to common sense.

Imagine if, right before the 2008 U.S. presidential election, the federal government

disqualified Barack Obama and John McCain for unspecified reasons, saying that the U.S. Privacy Act prohibits release of that information to protect their privacy.

The nation would be in an uproar. Common sense would prevail, I would hope.

Some people might say, “Well, that’s real government. This is just ASUA.” That’s where I start to fear for your student rights.

If you go along with that rationale, you might as well just ignore ASUA and the elections. If ASUA is not real government then it’s simply a puppet organization where the administration pats you on the head and lets you play house. If ASUA isn’t real government, then the Wildcat should spend its time and resources covering something else that is real.

Or, you can view ASUA as legitimate. After all, ASUA decides how to spend your student fees. It makes policy decisions that affect you.

It speaks on your behalf to the administration and the Arizona Board of Regents.

It’s really your choice, students.

In some states, such as Washington, public university student governments are officially recognized by statute as legitimate agencies, subject to state open meeting laws. It wasn’t the administration that fought to put that into law — it was student leaders. They wanted clout, and they knew that if they wanted to be real government, then they would have to play by real government rules.

So I encourage ASUA to exert its legitimate power. Be open and accountable, without hiding behind FERPA. Explain, just as a city, state or federal government would, why two seemingly qualified presidential candidates were booted. Engender trust among your 30,000 undergraduate citizens, and be proud to practice real government, in a real democracy.

Western powers attack Gadhafi forces in Libya

Lionel Bonaventure/Abaca Press/MCT

World leaders take part in a meeting on Saturday, at the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, during a summit on implementing action on the U.N. Security Council resolution against Libya.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — French fighter jets struck targets in Libya on Saturday and the U.S. launched missile strikes on air defenses as Western powers intervened in the country’s civil war to prevent Moammar Gadhafi from crushing the rebellion in the eastern city of Benghazi.

French warplanes rushed into Libyan airspace on Saturday morning (U.S. Eastern time) while emergency talks were under way in Paris among the U.S., France, Spain, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the Arab League.

Al-Jazeera, the pan-Arab television network, reported that French jets destroyed a number of Libyan tanks.

The U.S. missiles were launched a few hours later. President Barack Obama made a statement announcing the action, saying the U.S. would act on the “front end” and then enforcement of the no-fly zone will be enforced by U.S. allies.

The leaders in Paris acted after fresh intelligence from Libya indicated that Gadhafi had thrown all his forces forward to capture Benghazi before the West could act.

In a dramatic statement, French President Nicolas Sarkozy announced the planes would prevent Gadhafi ’s aircraft from bombarding the city and also attack tanks on the ground if necessary to end any assault.

The West will oppose any aggression

against the civilian population in Benghazi, Sarkozy said.

At a press conference in Paris where she took part in the talks, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said “there will be other actions to follow” the deployment of the French planes.

Clinton waved away questions about what those other steps might be.

Rebels in Benghazi pleaded for action Saturday reporting they were under attack from troops and tanks in the city.

Sarkozy said it appeared that the reports were true. He said Gadhafi has stepped up his military campaign after the West demanded that he stop the fighting and withdraw his forces.

Reports from cable news channel reporters on the ground in Benghazi reported that there had been a general lull in the fighting prior to the attack by the French airplanes.

British Prime Minister David Cameron announced that British planes were operating in the skies over Libya.

“Colonel Gadhafi has made this happen. He has lied to the international community, he has promised a cease-fire, he has broken that cease-fire. He continues to brutalize his own people,” Cameron said after the talks in Paris.

France, the U.K., the U.S. and others began the action to enforce the U.N. Security Council resolution, which is aimed at averting further bloodshed in the struggle for control of the North African nation.

Driver urinates in his car before DUI arrest

A non-UA-affiliated man was arrested for driving under the influence after improperly parking on the sidewalk by the Student Union Memorial Center on March 4.

Around 11:20 a.m., the UAPD chief of police was driving in the area of the union and reported an improperly parked vehicle on the sidewalk by the roundabout on the north side of the union.

At the time, there were many pedestrians walking in the area.

The chief made contact with the driver and needed additional assistance because he noticed that the driver showed symptoms of intoxication.

The chief said that it looked like the driver had urinated on himself.

Another officer arrived and made contact with the driver.

The driver admitted to drinking the previous night but said he had stopped awhile ago.

The driver, a paraplegic, also said that he was embarrassed because he had just urinated in his pants after trying to urinate into a bottle.

The officer also learned that the driver was waiting for his girlfriend to get out of class and meet him at the car.

However, the girlfriend did not appear in the 20 to 30 minutes the officer was talking with the driver.

The officer arrested the driver for driving under the influence and transported him to UAPD with a UA golf cart.

The driver’s blood-alcohol content was .124 and .121 after the deprivation period and was cited and released to a third party.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Spring break is over, what are your thoughts?

That sucks for you guys, but I actually don’t go here and am on my break now. I am visiting my boyfriend for the week.

Derrick Williams?

I wish! No, my boyfriend lives in Coronado (Residence Hall).

How do you feel about UA? I go to school in Florida and it gets pretty wild there.

I don’t know what Arizona has to offer since this weekend was pretty dead in the dorms.

So you are saying your school may be better than UA? I mean, it’s possible.

Wow, you are going to get nowhere on this campus with that attitude …

(Laughs) But I love Arizona, go ‘Cats.

Basketball is killing it.

Anyways, aside from wishing you went here, what did you wish for on your last birthday?

It was in October, so I probably wished that I would get a lot of Halloween candy.

Trick-or-treating?

Well, like rave candy.

Oh right, best rave song?

“Dancing in the Dark” by Dev. I can move my body to this song all night long.

Snooki makes SATs: students fret over reality TV question

Students who blew off studying for the SAT may have Snooki to thank when their acceptance letters arrive this spring.

On the March 12 college admissions exam, students were asked to write an essay about reality TV and the concept of authenticity, leaving nervous teens to wonder whether Lauren Conrad is as good of a source as Joseph Conrad.

“Most people believe that the reality these shows portray is authentic, but they are being misled,” the prompt begins, according to the New York Times.

The question alludes to shows like “American Idol” and “The Biggest Loser” before asking, “How authentic

can these shows be when producers design challenges for the participants and then editors alter filmed scenes?”

After the exam, concerned students took to the Internet to discuss the nuances of the question in a lengthy thread on the website CollegeConfidential.com “I’ve never gotten such a ridiculous essay question. Hope they are lenient about it?” wrote one commenter.

“Nothing would go through my head since I don’t watch reality shows. …

I only vaguely know ‘Jersey Shore’ and its controversy with ItalianAmericans so I chose that.”

Many students were surprised to find themselves citing TV stars

“I never thought the Kardashians would play a role in my SAT essay, but I wrote how the Kardashians create the impression that one can be rewarded financially for doing nothing, whereas some of the most successful Americans came to this country with nothing and only saw results after years of hard work,” another student wrote.

Tokyo garage rockers sweat through disaster

By Brandon Specktor Arizona Daily Wildcat Don Matsuo and his fellow members of the Zoobombs were preparing for a concert in Peterborough, Ontario when an 8.9-magnitude earthquake rattled Japan two weeks ago.

The Tokyo-bred Zoobombs have been playing prolific garage rock around the world for 17 years, making a big noise at Canada’s North by Northeast festival and beyond, but no amount of familiarity with the road can prepare for a natural disaster at home — so distant in miles, yet so near in spirit. Emotions came in clusters.

“Sadness, surprise, worry, and a feeling of powerlessness,” Matsuo described in an email.

“But, I’m surprised. Every American person has shown us deep sympathy and friendship.

So we decided to keep going and find something we can do in America as Japanese. Our families are safe. So we can keep going.”

And so the Zoobombs go, like Energizer bunnies pumped with amphetamines, rampaging through North America on a relentless rock tour. If you’re lucky, you can catch them tonight at Vaudeville Cabaret before they recharge their batteries and plow on through California.

This current tour is partially a promotion for

the Zoobombs’ upcoming 14th album, La Vie En Jupon, due out next week. But this tour is mostly just a tour — a familiar, semi-annual experience that has become just as vital to the band as sleep.

“Playing music is losing energy and charging energy at the same time,” Matsuo said. “I never get tired.”

Few Zoobombs audience members can make the same claim. Famed for their live performances, the Zoobombs are a kinetic combination of Jimi Hendrix and The Cramps, Sly Stone and the Rolling Stones — equal measures funk and punk. Audience participation is necessary. Only certain venues will do.

“The sound must be natural,” Matsuo said.

“Enough space to move around, doesn’t need ‘super’ sound system. And people must … sweat!”

Sweat tonight with the Zoobombs. Wallshaking rock music might be the adrenaline shot you need to survive the semester’s end.

arizona daily wildcat • monday, march 21, 2011 •

HOOPS continued from page 14 Hill came out aggressively, scoring 16 points and grabbing eight rebounds while crashing the glass to help Arizona get out-rebounded by the athletic Longhorns only by 33-32. He shot 7-for-12 from the field, making Hamilton — his one knock throughout his career has been his lack of a defensive prowess — work just as hard on the other end.

Hamilton, a highly-touted recruit out of Dominguez High School in Los Angeles, was above fellow sophomores Hill and Williams on Texas’ recruiting board.

Though Hamilton had his usual high volume of shots on Sunday, he only connected on 7-for-18 of those, scoring 18 points but never being able to take over the game.

“He’s the big guy, he’s the guy at Texas, he’s the leading scorer,” Hill said, “(I) just wanted to get that one (win).

“It felt good,” he added. “I’ll take this one over all of them losses.”

Meanwhile, Mayes helped Hill in atoning for a quiet first half from Williams. The back-up point guard hit all four 3-point attempts and gave Arizona a threat against the Longhorn’s defense focused on shutting down Williams.

Admittedly having a poor game in going 0-for-6 with only two assists, starting point guard Momo Jones was complimentary of his understudy.

“It’s going to come to a point in the season where I don’t have a great night, and he’s going to have to step up,” Jones said.

“D-Will hit some big shots, but Jordin Mayes stepped up.”

Not one to show emotion, Mayes has gradually improved his play in recent games, showing the same talent that Jones has seen in practice. It’s a growth aided by his daily

battles with Jones, who’s admittedly hard on his younger position-mate for a reason — tough love will help the team get wins, the only thing that matters to Jones.

And Sunday, that popped up in a game where Mayes went 6-for-7, his only miss coming on an open, short-armed layup.

“All season I thought I shot the ball with confidence. Coming into today, I wanted to add on to that and be aggressive,” Mayes said.

And while Jones didn’t look exceptionally strong on the court, his presence of feeding into Mayes’ growth appeared in the form of Mayes himself.

“It helped me a lot,” Mayes said of the competitive practices with Jones. “We go at each other on the offensive end, each defensive segment. There were a couple practices where he killed me. I just keep working hard, that’s going to benefit both of us.”

Texas on final seconds

Arizona took the lead by scoring the final three points with 9.6 seconds remaining in the game. So the Longhorns inbounded to J’Covan Brown, who led Texas with 23 points and repeatedly beat Arizona off the dribble to get either open shots or one of his 13 of his free throws.

He took the ball the length of the floor, but couldn’t put the ball in the hole. Forward Gary Johnson got the offensive rebound and nearly got off a shot attempt, and maybe even was fouled.

“I just tried to get to the rim and just, you know, put it on the rim for my teammates,” Brown said. “I don’t know about the foul.”

Referee Richard Cartmell said: “We all had a look and didn’t have a foul on the play. And the buzzer went off before there was contact up high. So we checked with each other, none of us had a foul, there’s no review involved, game over.”

SOFTBALL continued from page 14 Arizona this season, the 5-3 loss was much closer than the previous meeting between the two teams which saw the Wildcats fall 11-1 in five innings at the Kajikawa Classic.

zimmerman continued from page 14 seen a replay of the final 15 seconds, but his wishful thinking comes at a pivotal time for NCAA basketball.

With so many tight contests and the development of the review monitor, what are officials to do in the closing seconds?

I say, call away. Enough with the complaining about officials being essentially a third-team.

If your team is good enough, don’t bank on officials — human beings — to get everything right.

If you team is good enough, don’t let it come down to judgement calls.

Earlier Sunday, the Washington Huskies, down 86-83, had an opportunity for a 3-pointer to tie North Carolina, but the officials seemingly left too little time on the clock (0.5 seconds) for a good shot attempt. Replays showed there should have been more than one second

UA played one game on Friday, which resulted in an 8-0 loss to Michigan.

Despite the lopsided score, the Wildcats notched as many hits as the Wolverines.

Arizona had runners in scoring position in four of the seven innings in the game, but was unable to capitalize. The game stood score-

less until the third inning when Michigan took a 1-0 lead. The score stayed the same until the Wolverines broke the game open with a six-run sixth inning.

The Wildcats have one more weekend of non-conference play before traveling to Stanford to start conference play.

remaining.

Yes, Washington let let the lead slip away. Yes, the Huskies probably deserved a monitor review and time to get a shot off.

But such are the symptoms of taking it out of a their own hands. At that point, all the power goes to two other entities: the opponent and the official.

Then there’s the issue of whether to call the foul or not call the foul.

Last Friday’s block

by Arizona’s Williams of Memphis’ Wesley Witherspoon to ensure a UA victory could’ve been a foul on Williams, Memphis fans probably thought — actually it might’ve been a foul prior to the shot on Wildcat Jamelle Horne, but the basketball gods weren’t about to throw that hitch in Wildcat fans’ wagon once again.

Anyway, if it’s in the officials’ control, there’s a definite risk.

But Arizona has played it correctly so far. Attack, play well enough for an entire

game, and you’ll be on the winning end of things.

Be a Memphis, who didn’t have a constant focus to put the Wildcats away, and it probably won’t turn out well.

Be a Texas, who played catchup all game before floundering their last timeout with the lead and the ball — Jordan Hamilton grabbed a Williams miss with 14 seconds left and called time, which led to the five-second inbounds call — and you’ll lose.

The foul on the ensuing play was in question as well.

Hamilton, trying to draw a charge, said he didn’t feel contact on the final score by Williams.

“But the ref made up his mind and called a foul,” Hamilton said. “There’s nothing we can do about it now.”

But here’s something the remaining NCAA teams can do: Beat the hell out of somebody and call it a win.

Arizona gymnastics takes on Pac, finishes fifth

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona gymnastics team faced off against its conference foes in the Pacific 10 championships this weekend in Los Angeles.

The Pac-10 is widely considered the best conference for gymnastics with three schools ranked nationally in the top 10 and four in the top 20.

The Wildcats are currently ranked at No. 24 behind Stanford, Oregon State, UCLA and Washington.

Arizona was able to secure fifth place during the meet with a team score of 195.475. No. 5 Oregon State took the title with a team score of 197.200.

“Overall, it was pretty good.

Unfortunately, we had a week floor that dropped us from finishing third

to fifth,” said head coach Bill Ryden.

“We had some really good individual performances. I think it helps us with the postseason once we figure out where we are going.”

Senior Miranda Russell led the way during the bars routine with a 9.850, which was good enough for third place individually. The fast start carried over to the second event where the Wildcats posted

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

Campus Health Pharmacy carries 20 brands of oral contraceptives.

Q

Is it true that hormonal contraceptives “kill” sexual desire, sensual arousal, and reduce lubrication?

A. The short answer is... there is no short answer.

Many women experience increased sexual desire when they take oral contraceptives because they no longer fear getting pregnant. Still, some women do report decreased desire when using “the pill.”

Sexual desire, or libido, is a physiological and psychological phenomenon. Libido is, in part, determined by circulating levels of testosterone (an androgen that occurs in both men and women). Oral contraceptives, containing ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen) decrease testosterone levels. Low testosterone has been correlated with decreased libido in some, but not all, studies.

What this fact really means is undetermined because there is no specific level of testosterone associated with low sexual desire in women who use oral contraceptives or women in general.

For women who do feel diminished sexual desire, use of a progestin-only pill (sometimes called the mini-pill) can be an alternative to consider.

Because the mini-pill does not contain ethinyl estradiol, it does not decrease testosterone levels. However, this contraceptive pill offers less room for error (in regard to pregnancy protection) and requires the user to take the pill at a set time each day. Typically, women occasionally miss

meet. Usually unable to execute one event, this time the Wildcats struggled during floor.

“We are satisfied that we have the routines and the athletes, we just have to work on the details,” Ryden said.

Arizona’s final rankings will come out later today to determine the location of their NCAA Regional Championships.

doses... which could lead to a greater fear of pregnancy... which could lead to decreased sexual desire.

As for vaginal dryness or lubrication, the use of oral contraceptives increases cervical mucus, which is just one component of the secretions that make up vaginal lubrication. Interestingly, the Nuva-Ring, a vaginal hormonal contraceptive containing an estrogen and a progestin, is known to increase vaginal wetness, most likely due to an increase in the “good” flora of the vaginal tract.

Reduced libido may also be caused by other factors and other medications. Stress, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal conflicts may contribute to a lack of interest in sex. In addition, many antidepressant medications are known to squelch sexual desire. If your libido continues to lag, you may want to consult your medical provider.

Don’t blame officials for NCAA losses

COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer

TULSA, Okla. — Have you noticed a trend in these NCAA Tournament games that end in a flurry?

There’s big players making big plays, others making idiotic decisions, and ultimately, referees having to make the calls that will make a fan’s blood boil.

Only two games deep into the tournament, Arizona’s been on the winning end of two of those.

On Sunday, it was Arizona’s 70-69 victory when the refs called a questionable five-second count on UT guard Cory Joseph’s inbounds play with 14 seconds left leading to UA forward Derrick Williams’ 3-point play that won it for the Wildcats.

“If we have to go back to the monitor ... in this situation, I wish we could go back and review the fivesecond call,” Texas head coach Rick Barnes said afterward.

Now, Barnes admitted he hadn’t ZIMMERMAN, page 13

Two California superstars overshadowed

by Hill, Mayes

By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Going into Sunday, Texas and Arizona’s two leading scorers were Southern California boys that had all the NBA scouts’ attention.

It was long-time friends in UA’s Derrick Williams facing UT’s Jordan Hamilton with all the attention.

Though Williams’ last three points snatched Arizona’s 70-69 win on Sunday, teammates Jordin Mayes and Solomon Hill kept the Wildcats afloat through a tough offensive night for Williams.

Both hail from the Los Angeles area, and for Hill, a Fairfax High School product, asking UA head coach Sean Miller for the defensive assignment on Hamilton had more clinging to it than simply being a challenge.

“I haven’t beaten Jordan (Hamilton) in basketball since probably fourth grade,” Hill said, guessing he’s played against the second-team All-American 15-20 times in his life.

“AAU, high school, I’ve never beaten him, not once. It’s always something my dad and I talk about.”

Sunday was different.

’Cats drop two in SoCal

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The tournament struggles continued for the Arizona Wildcats softball team in Fullerton, Calif., during the weekend.

No. 7 Arizona completed the Judi Garman Classic with a slight edge, finishing with a record of 3-2 in five games.

The Wildcats finished on a high note, winning two games to finish the tournament against DePaul and San Jose State. Arizona put a combined 21 runs on the scoreboard during the two games.

Of the three wins, Arizona also recorded two run-rule victories over Louisiana-Lafayette 10-2 on Thursday and San Jose State 14-6 on Saturday.

The Wildcats opened the weekend with a loss against No. 8 Oklahoma on Thursday.

Although the it was the second time the Sooners have knocked off SOFTBALL, page 13

Texas’ J’Covan Brown puts up a shot attempt with one second left in Arizona’s 70-69 win over the Longhorns after Derrick Williams completed a three-point play with nine seconds left in the game to give Arizona a one-point lead. Brown missed his shot and and the Wildcats to advance to the Sweet 16 in Anaheim, Calif.

GAME RECAP continued from page 1 where they’ll face No. 1 seed Duke on Thursday at 6:45 p.m. in Anaheim, Calif .

“We actually ran a play called 21 Around,” Fogg said.

“I came off the screen looking for a shot. Cory Joseph did a great job on me. The great things about our plays, they’ll all have endings. The ending to that play is me and Derrick’s pick-and-roll.

“He just made a big-time play.”

Williams struggled throughout the game, scoring 17 and grabbing nine rebounds on 4-for-14 field goal shooting and a 9-for-15 free throw mark.

Before Williams hit his game winning shot, with Arizona down 69-67 , his shot in the lane was blocked by Texas forward Tristan Thompson , giving the ball back to the Longhorns with seemingly no hope.

Forward Jordan Hamilton ,

who scored 18 points on 7-for18 shooting , mostly against UA forward Solomon Hill , rebounded the Williams’ miss and called the Longhorns’ last timeout with 14 seconds left.

During the huddle, UA head coach Sean Miller instructed his team to switch every screen on the inbounds.

Texas (28-8 ) couldn’t find an open player and the official threw up a five-second call.

Replays showed that inbounder Cory Joseph called the timeout before the infraction.

“I had five seconds before the kid turned and signaled a timeout,” referee Richard Cartmell said. “I had to make a decision whether it was five seconds or a timeout, and I made the decision it was five seconds because I had counted five seconds before he called timeout.”

That gave Arizona the ball back. Fogg took the inbounds and Williams set a screen for him.

“I came off (the screen) hard

and I heard (the defense) say ‘switch,” Fogg said. “I just waited a second, and there was a little bit of space so I threaded the needle on the bounce pass.”

Williams hit a left bank shot while being fouled, then hit the free throw with nine seconds left. Texas’ J’Covan Brown , who led UT in scoring with 23 points behind shooting 13-for13 from the foul stripe, missed a final shot attempt.

Once again, the Wildcats allowed a large lead to slip away.

After a rough start, Arizona settled in behind strong play from Los Angeles-area players Hill and freshman guard Jordin Mayes , who each scored 16 points .

Unlike the game prior, at which the Wildcats shot a woeful 5-for-19 from 3-point range against Memphis, Arizona took advantage of an aggressive, collapsing defense on Texas’ side, shooting 8-for-14 for the game.

Though Williams shot 0-for6 in the first half, Arizona went into the halftime break ahead 36-25 behind 23 points between Hill and Mayes.

“Our gameplan was just to rebound and be tough,” point guard Momo Jones said. “Me and D-Will talked before the game, and he told me, ‘Look I’m not going to go out and get 20. I’m going to go out, and I’m gonna block (UT forward) Tristan Thompson out.

If he doesn’t get offensive rebounds and he doesn’t score, it’s almost impossible for them to win.’”

Thompson, a highly-touted big man, struggled against Williams and center Kyryl Natyazhko, finishing with three points and six rebounds .

“These guys … played all the way to the last horn , and that’s what’s required in this tournament,” Miller said. “I can’t tell you how excited we are to be moving to the Sweet 16.”

Baseball readying for conference play Offense, starting pitching shines; bullpen needs work

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Getting his team early road experience was crucial for Arizona baseball head coach Andy Lopez ’s plan at the start of the season, and with conference play looming, road maturity will be essential to the team’s success. The No. 11 Wildcats head to Tempe to take on the No. 9 Sun Devils on Friday to start Pacific 10 Conference play. On March 11 , the Wildcats (14-5) routed the Northern Colorado Bears in a three-game sweep, before heading out Kansas to face the Wichita State Shockers in a mid-week series.

The welcome wasn’t warm, as the Shockers capitalized on a weak Arizona bullpen on Tuesday, scratching away a 5-1 Wildcat lead and coming out on top with a 6-5 win in 11 innings.

On Wednesday, neither the Wildcat pitching staff nor the offense could get anything going, and they were saddled with their first series loss of the season falling 8-3.

What’s been working

The offense: Other then Wednesday’s performance where they Wildcats only managed to play three runs, their offensive game has been evident throughout the entire season.

With pre-season AllAmerican Steve Selsky returning to action after recovering from a hand injury, it was the Arizona offense that annihilated the University of San Francisco Dons, 14-0 on Saturday.

Selsky went 3-for-5 with four RBI and also managed his first home run of the season against USF. The starting pitching: Kurt Heyer secured his third win on Saturday hurling 11 strikeouts , which matched his season high, over 7.0 innings on the mound.

The other weekend starters, Kyle Simon and Tyler Hale, have both been solid throughout the beginning of the season as well.

Senior Bryce Ortega collects a ball against the Rice Owls on March 2. Ortega and the rest of the Wildcats’ offense has been consistent this season, something that will have to continue through Pacific 10 Conference season, which begins on Friday at ASU.

What hasn’t

The bullpen: The young Arizona pitching staff has had a tough time over the first 19 games.

A poor relief effort was the reason the Wildcats lost their 5-1 lead on Tuesday, but there is cause to be optimistic.

Both Nick Cunningham and Bryce Bandilla came in to secure the shutout in Saturday’s contest and Lopez is still trying to figure out what’s working for his team.

It is certain, however, that come Friday the coaching staff will have its team in prime position to run through its conference schedule.
