ASUA court grants appeals

Allen, Hernandez await final disqualification decision from elections commissioner

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ASUA presidential candidates James Allen and Daniel Hernandez have each successfully appealed one of the election violations levied against them

by Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti .

The successful appeals bring the total number of violation checks for each

candidate to nine , one below the threshold for automatic disqualification.

The Supreme Court for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona overturned the two election checks Allen received for allegedly leaving campaign materials in the U-Mart, a violation of the elections code. The court upheld all other violations Allen was charged with.

“I took the process extremely seriously,”

“This election for me was not about cheating or breaking the rules. It was about honest hard work and sleepless nights.”

— James Allen ASUA presidential candidate

said Allen, a junior majoring in political science and business administration. “I wanted to handle it with professionalism, and I’m pleased that some of the checks were removed.”

Allen said he chose to appeal the violations he did because he thought there were problems and inconsistencies with them. He said he “had to go in there and DECISION, page 2

Grad school top in nation

Mock border vandalized

Geology graduate program ranked No. 1

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The U.S. News and World Report ranked the UA’s geology program top among earth science graduate schools in the country.

The department, with 28 faculty members, 80 graduate students and 150 undergraduate majors, tied with the University of Michigan for the number one spot.

“We have good people,” said Karl Flessa, head of the geosciences department. “When you have good people, you have a good reputation.”

Flessa accounts the jump to getting the UA’s name out into the marketplace with those “good people.” These people include department graduates and undergraduates who are going into academic or industry positions and representing the program well. Faculty like George Gehrels and Paul Kapp, who both earned their undergraduate degrees from the UA, show the strength of the program and the fact that “no one gets lost” there.

“They are good people, so we try to hire them back if they are available,” Flessa said.

Flessa said the department has been working on being number one for 30 years.

“You can’t stand still in this business,” he said. “You’ll run faster and faster to stay in the same place.”

Advanced geology students take two years of upper level classes, then move to two to three years of applications, studies and writing up the results.

Susan Beck, geosciences professor and former department head, said the evolution of the program has boosted the already interdisciplinary nature of the department since its move into the Earth and Environmental Sciences section of campus.

There are three things that make the department great, according to Beck.

“One thing is the high quality faculty that can keep up with the field very well,” she said. “The second part is that we are very interdisciplinary, very collabora-

The mock border wall along the UA Mall was vandalized during the weekend. The vandalism, including this mock corpse, was discovered on Sunday, according to No More Deaths’ website.

Section of wall destroyed, materials torn down and scattered

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Tensions surrounding the mock border wall on the UA Mall resulted in vandalism over the weekend.

The 1,000-foot barbed wire fence was installed by the UA

club No Más Muertes/No More Deaths on March 21 and included sections representing the borders between the United States and Mexico and Israel and Palestine. Two separate acts of vandalism included tearing down one section of the wall and attaching a fake corpse of a

migrant to the other.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer reported the destruction of the Palestinian section of the wall early Saturday morning, according to Gabriel Schivone, coordinator of No Más Muertes/No More Deaths and a former Arizona Daily Wildcat

columnist. The entire section of the wall was uprooted and lying on Third Street, he said.

Mock wall organizers checked the Mexico section of the wall on Sunday morning and found material from the mall was torn down and scattered, according VANDALISM, page 3

City: Mini-dorms violate code

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students living in Jefferson Park mini-dorms are violating the city’s zoning code, according to a determination by the zoning administrator on March 14 — a decision that one councilman called a “Pandora’s box.”

The determination found the use of mini-dorms built by developer Michael Goodman do not meet the requirements of R-1 zoning, which stipulates singlefamily residences. Groups of unrelated students living together do not comply with this zoning, though representatives of the city of Tucson are unsure of how far the ruling will extend.

The controversy between residents of Jefferson Park Neighborhood and mini-dorm developers spans nearly a decade, resulting in a design manual that received preliminary approval from the City Council. The Jefferson Park Neighborhood Association filed its first complaint regarding

the use of mini-dorms with the city of Tucson zoning administrator in January.

Zoning Administrator Craig Gross wrote in his determination that Goodman’s mini-dorms do not comply with single-family residential zoning because they “are occupied by multiple college students, typically unrelated in any manner other than their desire to reside near a university they attend.” He also noted the use violates zoning regulations because rent is collected from individual tenants, bedrooms are individually keyed and residents are not bound by “legal, social or moral commitment.”

Goodman has 30 days to appeal the decision to the city Board of Adjustment. It may eventually reach the state supreme court, according to Ernie Duarte, director for the Planning and Development Services Department.

Councilman Steve Kozachik said the determination could affect students living in these

Bush to hold talk on Afghanistan McClatchy Tribune DALLAS — Former President George W. Bush will convene a conference in Dallas Thursday that will reunite him — via satellite — with Afghan President Hamid Karzai 10 years after Bush sent U.S. troops to the country.

The event is called “Building Afghanistan’s Future: Promoting Women’s Freedom and Advancing their Economic Opportunity.”

As U.S. and other allied troops gradually withdraw troops, Bush is now trying to focus attention on the fate of Afghani women, particularly because

GRAD SCHOOL continued from page 1 tive and we work together. The third part is the graduate program. We tailor it to their needs and their interests.”

Another factor is the faculty’s continued work on climate change, a topic that continues to receive local and national attention. Paul Kapp, for example, was recently featured nationally on MSNBC for research about wind and its effect on mountain peaks.

“One of the things that our department does that’s really amazing is the sheer amount of science that goes on. They are world class, pretty much in every part of geosciences,” said Jessica Kapp, Paul Kapp’s wife and UA geosciences professor.

“That makes graduate school really attractive to graduate students.”

Faculty members tend to bring in a lot of research money and are well funded, another attraction for graduate students, Jessica Kapp said.

“The amount of support and how collegial it is,” she said. “There’s not competition or gossiping or backstabbing. It’s all really collaborative. When I went to graduate school, it wasn’t like that. We’re still very rigorous and expect a lot of our students,

Decision continued from page 1 fight” for what he believes is right.

Allen said he had not spoken with Colletti since the decision was handed down but that he thinks it is “time to move forward.”

“My inclination, my hope is that he would not (seek disqualification),” Allen said. “He’s in a position where the votes can count, where the students have spoken, and I’m hoping for the best. It’s his choice, and I know that he’s looking at it and trying to do what is best. I trust his discretion.”

Colletti still has the authority to disqualify Allen should he choose to, though he expressed frustration that under tenants of the elections code any decision he makes can be appealed to the Supreme Court.

“Now it is more frustration then anything, because I do believe the court made the right decision in deferring to the commissioner as the commissioner would know the entirety of the elections process and complaints better than anyone,” Colletti wrote in an email.

Allen said he would not appeal again if Colletti decides to uphold his disqualification, which would trigger a new special election for ASUA president.

the Taliban continues to retain strongholds in the region.

Women were denied basic freedoms under Taliban rule, and Bush has said that much of the country’s future prosperity hinges on whether they are able to maintain recent political and economic advances.

“It’s especially urgent right now,” said Jim Glassman, executive director of the Bush Institute.

Bush and his wife, Laura, will make remarks Thursday, followed by Karzai, as well as other participants from the U.S. embassy in Kabul, Glassman said.

BUSH, page 3

but the support is there. It’s like nothing I’ve seen anywhere else.”

The vision of “actually having to do science” in a strong graduate program might be intimidating, but the strength of the UA’s program makes that transition easier, she said.

Flessa said it is important for a top-10 geology program like the UA’s that graduate students must become knowledge producers rather than knowledge consumers like many are during undergraduate study.

“You can’t have a top graduate program without some good instruction and teaching,” Beck said, “and it’s not just in the classroom, it’s out in the field. It’s in formal and informal settings.”

Did you know?

Today and tomorrow mark the geoscience department’s Geo Daze research symposium, which was started by graduate students. Undergraduate and graduate students present research to members of the department all day in the Student Union Memorial Center ballroom.

Allen also said he thinks students should focus on how hard he will work to represent them, not the violations of which he was accused.

“I worked extremely hard,” Allen said. “I handled this process with professionalism, and that’s something I would emulate in my presidency, if I am elected. This election for me was not about cheating or breaking the rules. It was about honest hard work and sleepless nights.”

The court also overturned the violation that alleged Hernandez, a political science junior, and members of his slate sent unsolicited text messages to random phone numbers. Hernandez declined comment on the issue, citing time constraints and prior commitments.

Colletti said he was “shocked” and “disappointed” at the court’s decision.

“I don’t think it’s right, to be honest,” Colletti said. “I think I did the best that I could and made the right decisions.”

Colletti later said his disappointment was directed more at the elections code than it was the court.

Colletti now has 24 hours to determine if he will seek to disqualify the candidates.

“That’s something I have to look into,” Colletti said. “I have to weigh all of the options and see what’s best.”

ASUA votes no ‘A+’s’ Senate rejects College of Law proposal that would have created plus and minus grading system of the University of Arizona sought out feedback from students on changing to a plus and minus grading system, and the majority of feedback received was negative.

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After some debate, the ASUA Senate voted six to four to oppose changes to the undergraduate grading system at its meeting on Wednesday.

The resolution came as a result of the James E. Rogers College of Law requesting the ability to implement a plus and minus grading system, said George Gehrels, a geosciences professor and chair of the UA Undergraduate Council.

Gehrels said the college feels its students are at a disadvantage because they are unable to earn “A plus” grades.

Gehrels also said he is looking into how other schools such as the University of Michigan, University of California, Los Angeles, and University of California, Berkeley, utilize similar systems.

The Associated Students

Sen. Chad Travis said that his high school used a plus and minus grading system, and he thought it added undue pressure.

“Grades aren’t the only facet of college,” Travis said.

According to Gehrels, the ear-

liest a plus and minus system could be put in place would be the fall 2012 semester.

“I think this is a really premature time to take a stance on a plus or minus grading system,” said Sen. Scott Rising, who described passing a resolution on the system when it has yet to be fleshed out as a “knee jerk” reaction.

Sen. Mary Myles said that if the Undergraduate Council knows this kind of system is something ASUA is against, then the council does not need to waste time hashing out the details of a new system students are against.

Sen. Dominick San Angelo said the point of the resolution was to state that the senate does not want something changed if there is not a problem with it.

“I’ve never heard of any students that have written to me, contacted me upset because ‘gosh I can’t get a plus or minus grade,’” he said.

The wall was removed after the incident.

“Even though that was done by vandals, (The Dean of Students Office) determined it became a safety hazard and the fence should be taken away,” Schivone said. “So the fence company had to come and retrieve it. Now half of the wall is up.”

Organizers knew vandalism was a possibility prior to putting the wall up, Schivone said.

He said comments about driving through the wall were made on the website Live Leaks the weekend before the wall was installed.

“Nevertheless, it proved our point in creating a space where the issue was unavoidable, the issues of Israel occupation as well as deaths in the deserts and raids in the city,” Schivone said.

“These issues are often invisible. And for 10 days on the U of A campus, they were not. We forced them into discussion.”

Carol Thompson, assistant vice president of Student Affairs and the Dean of Students, said the office has not investigated the vandalism because the organizers had not filed a complaint.

She said staff from the office ad-

dressed organizers’ concerns and told them their options.

Schivone said the organizers have since filed a complaint with the office for both incidents asking the university to recognize them as hate crimes. Organizers have not heard from UAPD wwwon the status of the investigation, he said. Sgt. Juan Alvarez, public information officer for UAPD, directed all questions to Thompson.

Baires said the vandalism is the failure of some members of the campus community, but the wall has still served to provoke discussion. Free speech boards near the wall allowed people who share differing opinions.

“We’ve had some good rapport with people who disapprove,” Baires said. “It hasn’t all been negative.”

The remaining portion of the wall will be taken down on Thursday as originally scheduled.

“We had sort of a saying that ‘One fake wall down, two real walls to go,’” Schivone said.

“The vandals really, in a way, proved our point. Walls separate communities, and they’re never any sort of a solution for social problems.”

“I’ve never heard of any students that have written to me, contacted me upset because ‘gosh I can’t get a plus or minus grade.’”

— Sen. Dominick San Angelo

VANDALISM continued from page 1 to Francisco Baires, a mock wall organizer who reported the vandalism. Organizers also found a large, fake corpse of a migrant staked to the wall with nails driven through its hands.

The corpse appeared to have blood streaming from its eyes and wore a sign reading, “I did not cross the border, the border crossed me.”

“That was really, really appalling and really, really disturbing,” said Baires, who recently graduated from the UA. Organizers encountered animosity from students and visitors throughout the week. People yelled at them using profanity, and one man attached photographs of decapitated migrants to the wall, according to Baires.

A group of people walking by the Palestinian section of the wall threatened to tear it down earlier in the week, according to Schivone.

“It’s a really heated issue,” said Schivone, a student studying English. “There were threats all week, and they finally did it.”

MINI-DORMS continued from page 1 we’re going to have with the council is just how far-reaching this determination will be. I think enforcement of this provision is going to be key and really up for debate at this point.”

The determination will be discussed in an executive session of the city council next week, according to Duarte.

“Our council wanted to hear the legal implications of this decision in closed session,” he said.

Kozachik said he questions the timing of the decision and said he thinks it should have been made when the controversy first started 10 years ago. The city granted developers like Goodman permits to build these structures many times even after their use was clear.

“Now we’re a decade down the road,” Kozachik said. “Millions of dollars have been invested and tons of homes have been demolished. And now the city says, ‘Oh, we’ve changed our minds.’ I don’t even know how to describe this decision.”

Councilwoman Karin Uhlich said the determination will help protect the neighborhood from mini-dorm construction in the future.

“For better or for worse, the right questions have been raised and now answered,” Uhlich said.

“I think it’s an important one.”

Uhlich said she thinks the determination should be grandfathered in so it does not affect current lease holders. She said she does not think the ruling will affect students who live together in

smaller houses because they do not fit the characteristics of minidorms such as having individually-keyed bedrooms.

“I don’t think the ruling has those implications,” Uhlich said.

Jefferson Park resident Bob Schlanger said the complaint filed by the neighborhood association was intended to target mini-dorms and not students living in two or three-bedroom houses.

“I don’t necessarily have a problem with that,” he said.

Schlanger said the decision validates the concerns of long-term residents, though the determination regards the use of minidorms and not the structures themselves.

“It’s pretty clear what the intent is,” he said. “I hope the decision maintains it’s not legal in R-1 and R-2 zoning.”

Local developer John Lee said the determination will require the city to use resources for enforcement of the ruling and to fight a lawsuit against Goodman.

“All of these resources are sacrificed to determining who’s a family and who’s not,” he said.

Lee said determining who is or is not a family would be difficult when leasing to students.

“It gives the city the ability to get into people’s living arrangements,” he said. “What is a family? What is a head of household?”

The determination could allow the city to look at people’s leases and the way they’re running their households every time the city gets a complaint, Kozachik said.

“The ruling opens up such a Pandora’s box,” he said.

BUSH continued from page 2 World Bank President Robert Zoellick and former national security adviser Stephen Hadley will be in Dallas, along with FOX-TV host Greta Van Susteren, who will moderate two panel discussions.

Dear ASUA: It’s over Heather Price-Wright

I

Arizona Daily Wildcat

f you’re interested in the inner workings of student government, and a huge glutton for punishment, the last three and a half weeks have been phenomenal.

After a contentious presidential election in which a student who has become a national hero after the tragic events of Jan. 8 was, shockingly, trounced by his opponent in the general election, things managed to get even weirder.

First, both presidential candidates in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona general election were disqualified, allegedly for having collected too many violations under ASUA’s hilariously baffling elections code. Then, Elections Commissioner Michael Colletti thought it would be fun to exercise power he doesn’t have by withholding information about the nature of the violations. He demanded that media representatives file public records requests, and briefly and erroneously cited the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act as the reason he would not release the records.

And then came Tuesday night’s hearing before ASUA’s Supreme Court, which is, as far as I can tell, one of the only legitimate and well-run apparatuses of the organization.

Probably because it’s helmed by law students, who tend to be serious folks.

As I followed the live tweets from the hearing, during which both James Allen and Daniel Hernandez appealed their elections violations, I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.

It was as if finally, the mask of shiny campaign material and cute dress clothes that tries to lend ASUA legitimacy had been peeled off. The hearing, with its perpetual hesaid-she-said, the bizarre presence of Allen’s bombastic attorney throwing around phrases like “constructive fraud,” Colletti and his counsel’s sputtering attempts to claim the violations issued had even a little evidence, was sheer farce. And watching it unfold from afar, something in me snapped.

Allen and Hernandez each had a violation overturned by the court, bringing each of their total checks down to nine. Allen could be president now, though Colletti could choose to disqualify Allen anyway. Honestly, I don’t care. Not even kind of.

Here’s the thing, ASUA: I’m not one of those apathetic students who just doesn’t know all that you do, and that’s why I don’t “appreciate” you. I’ve voted in every ASUA election since my freshman year. I don’t have friends in the organization, so all my votes have been cast for people I imagined might be good student leaders. And while a few have met my expectations, for the most part I have spent four years feeling totally let down by my student government.

ASUA, you’re like that boy all my friends told me not to date. “He’s a jerk,” they told me. “He doesn’t call girls back, he plays them. He’ll let you down.”

But I believed Oprah when she said people could change. I believed if I tried hard enough, I could turn that boy, that rude, sloppy college kid, into a man. I thought maybe for me, he’d try. (Are you following along? This is still a metaphor.)

So for four years, I have kept trying. I know that in a breakup it’s cruel to bring up old fights, but remember that time ASUA lost $1 million on a concert no one went to? Yeah, well, I do.

Or remember when the “popular” presidential candidate didn’t manage to actually get on the ballot, but campaigned as if he had? Remember when a write-in vote consisted of writing the candidate’s name next to his name printed right there?

Remember when the elections commissioner thought it was OK to change the ballot halfway through voting? Yeah, well, I do.

And individually, each misstep could be chalked up to the difficulty of running a student government. I get that. And I know a lot of people in the organization do their jobs extremely well and care a lot about the students. I wish those people could tell everyone else to be cool.

But altogether, and topped by this year’s utter disaster of a fair, transparent election, it’s just too much. I’m a graduating senior, so I won’t get to experience whatever comes out of this mess. Good riddance, I guess.

Oprah gained all the weight back, and the boy I thought I could change (that’s still you, ASUA) turned out to be a dud, after all. So, after four excruciating years, together and apart, I just have to say it: ASUA, it’s over.

Have a nice life.

Bonds knows how to walk

Our society has seen a massive increase of judicial cases. It seems this is perhaps most common in the world of athletes, where seemingly everyday one of these “idols” is (rightfully or wrongfully) accused of something illegal. Nonetheless, with all these cases, each one still manages to muster up attention and never fades away into a blasé state. The case de jour is the Barry Bonds perjury trial.

In short, and for those of you who are legitimately completely ignorant of the world around you, Bonds is a baseball player who suddenly saw a sky rocket not only in his athletic performance, but also in his shirt, neck, and hat size.

Seriously, this guy went from Lil Wayne to 50 Cent in a year. Oh, I’m sorry, for all you “Twilight” fans out there he went from pasty guy to his furry friend. I’m not sure of the names, but you get the point; he got swole fast!

Many assumed Bonds was taking steroids and after a raid of BALCO facilities, a steroidproducing company, his name supposedly appeared on several of their documents. Bonds was questioned in a federal investigation in 2003 and said he never knowingly took steroids.

Fast forward almost 10 years and, after more investigations, you’ve got yourself a high-profile perjury trial.

What’s most interesting about this is the seemingly low level of faith of a real conviction in the public sector. The government has already re-written its indictment of Bonds three times. The case has met several delays, and the prosecution has had several pieces of evidence dismissed from the case.

While there are up-in-the-air types of cases all the time with athletes where it seems that they just might be innocent, this one just has

Letters from

a different feel to it. The closest comparison is the OJ Simpson case. Of course, taking a little muscle juice in the aft end every couple of weeks to hit the “long-ball” and lying about it are not nearly as bad as murdering someone. This case just feels like a “everyone knows you’re guilty” case.

Bonds will most likely get off and every baseball purist will cry, but on a much more important level, the guilty man walks and the federal government (at least this time the judicial branch) looks more incompetent. I guess it is fitting though. Bonds already holds the intentional walks record in baseball, walking away cleanly in this one would just be expected.

n a mere six weeks, you and I are headed to a bad, bad place — the real world. We have “allegedly” spent the past four years preparing for this moment, but I am just as skeptical as you. The UA has allowed us to join organizations centered around partying and made it possible to go through an entire college career without seeing the inside of a classroom more than two days a week. How has this prepared me for anything but vacation?

I am beginning to realize reality is much more different from college than I had anticipated.

Now: Sleep in or miss class?

Obviously, it isn’t a big deal. You finally have an excuse to text that cutie that sits a few rows in front of you or consult your chapter’s test files in hopes of finding notes.

Real world: Sleep in or miss a day of work? You better come up with a way better excuse than “I had a bad reaction to the Adderall I took last night” or be willing to sleep with the boss because you’re looking at getting fired. Just like that, “one and done” no longer refers to your flip cup skillz but rather to the amount of time you held down your first job.

Now: Spending more time naming your Facebook album by researching lyrics that most accurately convey the shit show that was your weekend than

creating a title for your term paper is not only acceptable but expected. Way more people are going to see the album title than the term paper. Am I right?

Real world: You are high if you think you can even post half of the pictures you took last night. Even with a private album, you risk the chance of someone (your boss or work archenemy) taking offense to that picture. You know which picture I am talking about; the one of a highly intoxicated you holding up a cup with your company’s name in one hand and flipping the bird with your other. You might as well start naming your albums things like “2011” or “photos.”

Now: Everybody knows that you keep up with the Kardashians like it is your job. There isn’t a single episode that you could not explain in great detail nor is there a single outfit worn by one of the K’s that you would not be able to describe. What better use could you get out of your time? Actually read those books you paid hundreds of dollars for at the beginning of the semester? As if. Those aren’t relevant. You prefer current events, and currently Kourtney is making her soap opera debut.

Real world: Keeping up with whom?

Knowing the ins and outs of the Kardashians’ lives is not considered keeping up with current events in the workforce. Bring up Kim or Khloe in the lunchroom and someone may think

you’re talking about a pet or your children. You’re going to have to start putting as much effort into watching the actual news as you would usually put into stalking perezhilton.com.

Now: You would be hard pressed to find a college student that didn’t rely on his parents for some financial aid. Why save your extra cash when you have Bank of Mom readily available? BofM is just so much more understanding and personable than other banks that it would be mistake to trust your money (or lack there of) elsewhere.

Real world: Now that you’ve got a degree hanging on the wall with your name on it, Mom is going to want her investment (you) to start paying her back.

Say goodbye to your carefree lifestyle, because in the real world there are hella bills to be paid.

As you can see, the 9 to 5 we know — the night starts at 9 and ends when you stumble in the door at 5 a.m. — is going to be a distant memory. Before college becomes a memory, I suggest you take as many personal health days (to recover from last night’s hangover) as you can and buy a round for your friends at the bar while your mom still pays for your shit.

Man drinking Natty Ice in ILC vomits on self

A non-UA affiliated man vomited on himself in the ILC and was arrested for drinking in public on March 25.

A UAPD officer responded to the Manuel T. Pacheco Integrated Learning Center and spoke with a library employee.

The employee showed the officer where the man was sitting and said that he vomited on himself while using a computer. The employee also reported that the man was taking drinks from a brown bottle that they believed to be beer.

The officer met with the man at a computer terminal on the south end of the ILC. The man appeared extremely intoxicated and on vomit on his shirt and on the front of his pants.

There was also a pool of vomit on the floor beneath his chair.

Open food wrappers and trash littered the area where he was sitting.

Two 32-ounce bottles of Natural Ice beer were sitting on the floor next to him.

The officer arrested the man for drinking in public and placed him in handcuffs. “I know I don’t belong here,� he said.

He also said that he was severely mental and, because he had been drinking all day, had not taken his medication for two days.

The officer transported him to the Pima County Jail where he was booked into custody for the liquor law violation.

Have you ever used your beautiful eyes to get what you want?

I can’t say that I have, not consciously at least.

What is something you do personally to get what you want?

I’d probably say my ability to speak Spanish and Portuguese.

What is the most embarrassing CD that you own?

Gosh, I’d probably have to say that I own a Britney Spears CD. “Hit Me Baby One More Time.”

It’s classic though, classic.

Best memory you have to that song?

I was listening to it last semester when I fell down a flight of stairs in class, on my iPod. If you were committing homicide, where would you hide the body?

Um, the fitting room in American Eagle.

Where would you escape to, being a felon on the loose?

Probably Ecuador, just because there are a lot of shady people, a lot of shady, brown people.

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

California Gov. Jerry Brown and wife Anne Brown sit with Sutter, their 7-year-old Pembroke Welsh corgi, in the governor’s Sacramento office during an afternoon break from budget planning on March 24.

News Editor Luke Money

Father accused of putting $3,000 ‘dead or alive’ bounty on daughter’s boyfriend A California man charged with putting out a $3,000 bounty on his daughter’s boyfriend pleaded not guilty Tuesday at his arraignment in East County Superior Court in El Cajon.

Arrested at his Spring Valley home last week, Domingos Oliveira, 49, was charged with solicitation of murder. He stands accused of posting a dozen “reward” fliers at Grossmont College in El Cajon, with a photo and the name of his daughter’s boyfriend — a 33-year-old registered sex offender — offering to pay $3,000 “for the body” of the

boyfriend, “dead or alive.”

Oliveira’s daughter, 19, is a student at Grossmont College and was a La Mesa resident when she and her boyfriend reported the threat to La Mesa police several weeks ago.

Oliveira was arrested Friday morning at his Roadside Place home on suspicion of solicitation for murder, police said.

His attorney, Michael Earle, asked that his client be released from custody, claiming that Oliveira is not a flight risk since he’s a longtime resident of San Diego County and a homeowner.

Sports Editor Tim Kosch Opinions Editor Kristina Bui Design Chief Olen Lenets

But it was learned that Oliveira also has an immigration hold on his record.

“He is a permanent resident,” Earle told reporters after the arraignment, “and he has been since 1972. He just never took that extra step to become a citizen. But he’s got permanent residency, so the INS came in and put a hold on him.”

Earle described the fliers posted at Grossmont College as “help wanted” posters, not necessarily “wanted” bounty posters.

Wildcats must improve Five things softball needs to work on in Pac-10 play

By Tyler Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat

Koby Upchurch/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Robert Refsnyder’s walk-off home run on the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth inning gave Arizona a 10-9 win over New Mexico on Wednesday at Frank Sancet Stadium. The Wildcats will ride their two-game win streak to a home series against Oregon State this weekend.

Walk-off home run lifts Wildcats to sweep over New Mexico

By Dan Kohler Arizona Daily Wildcat After blowing a 7-2 first inning lead, the Arizona baseball team needed an answer in the bottom of the ninth with the score tied 9-9.

Robert Refsnyder gave it to them.

On the first pitch of the half inning, Refsnyder tattooed a ball deep into left. The New Mexico fielder settled underneath it, but the ball carried over the wall.

Walk off home run, 10-9 Wildcat victory.

“It was nice to contribute today,” said Refsnyder, a sophomore. “I’ve hit a rough patch the last couple of weekends, and it feels good to contribute to the win today.”

Arizona head coach Andy Lopez applauded the efforts of his

offense, but the work of his bullpen, especially third year reliever Bryce Bandilla, gave him cause for concern. “(On Tuesday) night he threw 29 pitches and looked super. He had command of his fastball and all the rest,” Lopez said. “I think (Bandilla) tries to do too much too often. He gets behind in the count. And after you’ve seen him once, as an opposing team, and he doesn’t have command of his secondary pitch, then you see his fastball again.”

Matt Chaffee, on the other hand, has been solid. In two innings of work, Chaffee struck out three and didn’t allow a hit.

“It’s good that I’ve been able to go out there everyday,” Chaffee said. “I’ve just been trying to get

back in the feel of things, and have been trying to get a better feeling for my pitches.”

Chaffee’s strategy for taking the mound in the eighth and holding onto the Wildcats’ 9-9 lead was simple.

“I just tried to make one pitch at a time,” he said. “I just had to tell myself that if I made a good quality pitch, I could get out of the situation.”

Even though Refsnyder sealed the victory for the Wildcats, the opportunity wouldn’t have even been presented if it weren’t for the bats of Joey Rickard and Cole Frenzel.

Rickard, who leads the nation with 52 hits and leads the team with a .477 batting average, tacked on two hits and a run scored.

“I turned to Joey Rickard today

in about the fourth inning and said, ‘Hey, do you pitch?’” Lopez said of his do-it-all player. “His make-up is outstanding, and he’s a joy. He’s a great player, but he’s a good guy. He’s definitely got a future in this game.”

Both Rickard and Frenzel, according to Lopez, are driving Arizona’s resurgence after a disappointing end to the 2010 season. “(Rickard and Frenzel) both have great work ethic,” Lopez said after the game. “What happened to the club at the end of the year last year was we just wore down physically, and they were aware of it.

“They made a commitment this past off-season to get bigger and stronger in the offseason, which they have. We’ll see it now in the next eight weeks or so.”

Who leads the Wildcats?

By Tyler Johnson Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona’s softball team has eight starters returning from last year’s national championship runner-up. The only departure is shortstop K’Lee Arredondo, who earned second team All-Pacific 10 Conference honors last year. More importantly, Arredondo was also the vocal leader of the team, something that head coach Mike Candrea says the team now lacks.

Here are the top three candidates that will contribute leadership when the Wildcats open up Pac10 play on Friday.

Brittany Lastrapes

Unquestionably a leading contender for this position, Brittany Lastrapes has an impressive array of credentials. She is one of the best players on the team, and, as a senior, commands the respect of her teammates. After playing with Arredondo for three years, Lastrapes may have picked up a trick or two from the departed shortstop along the way.

However, there is a flaw in Lastrapes’ candidacy: her position. She plays all the way out in left field, which is not prime territory for shouting instruction and encouragement to her teammates, some of whom play almost 200 feet away from her post.

Stacie Chambers

Stacie Chambers is — among other things — the most senior member of the team. As a

redshirt senior, Chambers is in her fifth year at the University of Arizona. It’s said that one should always respect their elders, and in the context of the Arizona softball team, the 23-year-old Chambers is just that. She is also a catcher, which carries with it good and bad features in this context. She plays in the infield, which is a good thing when looking for a leader in softball. However, the catcher deals mostly with the pitcher and seldom has much interaction with the rest of the infield in the normal flow of the game.

Kenzie Fowler

ASU (33-2)

Coach: Clint Myers, sixth year MVP: Dallas Escobedo Why they’ll go far: ASU has the combined experience of junior pitcher Hillary Bach and the power of freshman Escobedo, who is currently third in the conference with a 1.25 ERA. ASU also has an explosive offense.

What Candrea says: “I tell you right now, I think Arizona State has a very solid staff. I think you look at the numbers, they’re shutting out a lot of people and doing a pretty good job.”

California (21-3)

Coach: Diane Ninemire, 24th year MVP: Jolene Henderson Why they’ll go far: The Golden Bears have the lowest team ERA at just 1.23 and the lowest opponent batting average at .176. An injury to Valerie Arioto could play a factor, though.

What Candrea says: “Arioto got hurt, which really hurts them. She was big for them on the mound and as a hitter.”

Oregon (28-4)

Coach: Mike White, second year MVP: Monique Fuiava Why they’ll go far: The Ducks have struck out 268 batters so far this season, with almost 30 percent of the batters caught looking. With leadership from senior first baseman Fuiava and a youthful team that made a run in the NCAA postseason last year, the Ducks are in good shape.

What Candrea says: “Oregon pitchers have come a long way and are throwing much better right now.

That team is playing with a lot more confidence. They’re playing like winners.”

Oregon State (16-8)

Coach: Kirk Walker, 17th year MVP: Nikki Chandler Why they’ll go far: Although

Oregon State gives up a lot of hits, the Beaver fielders have the fewest number of errors and the highest fielding percentage in the Pac-10.

What Candrea says: “I think Oregon State is still trying to find their way. I think they’ve got some pieces missing.”

Stanford (23-4)

Coach: John Rittman, 15th year MVP: Ashley Hansen Why they’ll go far: With the combination of pitchers Ashley Chinn and Teagan Gerhart, Stanford brings a solid pitching staff to the circle.

Ashley Hansen is leading the conference with a .556 batting average and has a .607 on base percentage.

What Candrea says: “I think Stanford is a team that’s better than last year. I think their pitching last year was very young. Gerheart will be back and healthy.”

UCLA (23-5)

Coach: Kelly Inouye-Perez, fifth year MVP: GiOnna DiSalvatore

The Wildcats are winless against top-10 teams this season, and their batting is a big reason for that. In their six losses this season, Arizona has scored only six total runs. This is particularly glaring in their games against Baylor and Oklahoma, where the UA pitchers held the opposition to three and five runs, respectively.

2. Minimize errors

Kenzie Fowler and Shelby Babcock have combined for 74 earned runs so far this season.

The Wildcats have allowed 93 total runs. While this 19 run discrepancy may not seem like much now, it threatens to become a much bigger problem in Pac-10 play where games are often decided by a single run, and one badly timed error can swing a series. Earlier this season, a frustrated Babcock blamed her departure from a game against Pacific on “too many errors.” While the Wildcats would win that game once Fowler came in and the defense tightened up, they will not have that luxury for the rest of the season.

The first seven batters of the Wildcats order are solid, with every player hitting better than .300 and three hitters (Brittany Lastrapes, Lauren Schutzler and Karissa Buchanan) over .400. The eight and nine spots — currently occupied in most games by Baillie Kirker and Alex Lavine — are hitting a dismal .191 and .241, respectively.

Buchanan, who bats seventh, has reached base 41 times this year and has scored only 23 runs. Arizona cannot afford to let Buchanan — who has the team’s third best onbase percentage among starters — be stranded so regularly.

4. Become mentally tougher Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat

1. Hit good pitching

3. Get hits from the bottom of the order

Kenzie Fowler

The lone underclassman on this list, Kenzie Fowler is a candidate based mostly on her performance. She is arguably the team’s best player, and with a 1.79 ERA she has been outstanding this season, and Candrea does not see seniority as a prerequisite for leadership. “I don’t think it’s always got to be a senior,” he says. “I think that this is a team that can be lead by many different people and I think too many times, well, the seniors have to be the leaders. Well, that’s not necessarily true.” At pitcher, Fowler also occupies a central position on the field.

Unfortunately, the downside of Fowler’s position is that she is often relegated to the dugout or worse, the bullpen, where she has almost no contact with the rest of the team.

The Wildcats softball team is at a crossroads. On one hand, they were the preseason No. 1 team in the country. On the other, they are 0-4 against top-10 teams and have looked far from dominant in many of their recent games. So heading into Pacific 10 Conference play, here are five things the Wildcats need to improve if they are to regain their stature and win head coach Mike Candrea’s 11th Pac-10 Championship.

Why they’ll go far: UCLA’s bats propelled the 2010 team through the Women’s College World Series to the program’s 11th softball national championship, and the Bruins have most of those players returning in 2011.

What Candrea says: “UCLA pitching is about where we’re at.

They’re all offensively very strong.”

Washington (25-2)

Coach: Heather Tarr, seventh year MVP: Kimi Pohlman Why they’ll go far: Veterans Kimi Pohlman and Niki Williams give Washington experience and power at the dish. The Huskies are leading the conference in slugging percentage and are second in runs scored, hits, on base percentage, batting average and RBIs. What Candrea says: “I think Washington has a very explosive team. They can put a lot of runs on the board, but I think they’re going to give up a lot of runs.”

The Wildcats are just 1-5 this season when trailing after four innings. This inability to come back and score runs in late innings shows a lack of mental fortitude that is uncharacteristic of Candrea’s Wildcats. He has indicated that a lack of leadership may be the problem. “I think we have struggled most of this part in the infield trying to have someone that really knows what to do, feels good about themselves and can really become a leader,” he said.

“We have a lot of quiet people.”

Conversely, Arizona’s 27-1 record when leading after four innings shows that the team can buckle down and protect a lead.

5. Protect their house

Candrea was probably feeling good about his team’s play at home before spring break. The Wildcats were 10-0 at Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium and had an impressive eight games end in run rule victories. Then Baylor — the first ranked team the Wildcats hosted — came to town. Arizona lost two of three games in the series, including an embarrassing 6-0 loss in the first game of the weekend. A successful Pac-10 season for the Wildcats will hinge on Tucson being a place opponents hate to see on the schedule.
