Clubs pleased with Santorum’s suspension By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

Rick Santorum’s announcement to suspend his campaign relieved both conservative and liberal clubs on campus. Members of the College Republicans and the Young Democrats alike said they were happy to see him go. During a press conference in Gettysburg, Pa., on Tuesday, Santorum told attendees that he and his family made the decision to suspend his campaign after a yearlong effort filled

with tours, debates and campaign events. His announcement came soon after his daughter, Bella, was released from the hospital, where she was being treated for complications from her chromosomal disorder. “Finally” and “thank God” were College Republicans President Lauren Bouton’s first thoughts upon hearing the news, she said. “Members of our club thought he was hypocritical,” said Bouton, a political science senior. “Republicans say they are for smaller government, and it’s annoying when you have

Santorum, who is only for smaller government on certain things.” College Republican club members support Mitt Romney and Ron Paul, Bouton said. In fact, she could not recall one member who wanted Santorum to receive the Republican presidential nomination. This is because he did not represent the younger crowd, she said, regardless of political affiliation. “He was obviously big anti-gay and anti pro-choice,” she said. “That doesn’t fit well with the young Republican crowd.”

Although Young Democrats President Erik Lundstrom said the suspension of Santorum’s campaign was not unexpected, adding that he was more surprised that none of the Republican presidential nominees have given President Barack Obama a “run for his money.” “The longer the (Republican) primary goes on, the more they (the nominees) are fighting against themselves,” said Lundstrom, a political science junior. “They are not focusing on the president, and that’s disappointing.” Additionally, Lundstrom said the

former nominee was “very, very radical” and that he alienated himself from moderate voters. Santorum’s comment that the idea of separating church and state is vomit-inducing was “very offensive for a lot of us,” Lundstrom said.

KILLING TIME

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Sean Miller has finally landed his consummate point guard. Duquesne transfer and floor general T.J. McConnell announced Tuesday morning that he has committed to Miller and the Wildcats, choosing Arizona over Virginia and head coach Tony Bennett. “When I stepped on campus I immediately fell in love with it,” McConnell told the Daily Wildcat. “They’re all great guys and after talking to Sean Miller and his staff I knew I wanted to play with great fans and great players and one of the best coaches in the country.” The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Pittsburgh native has been mulling over the decision since asking for a release from Duquesne on March 21. But after visiting Arizona last weekend and sitting down with Miller, McConnell knew Tucson was where he wanted to be. He’ll have to sit out the 2012-13 season due to transfer rules, but when he’s eligible to hit the floor, McConnell will join a slew of talent. McConnell said he’s aware of point guard Josiah Turner, but that didn’t factor into his decision. McConnell was known as a distributor and defender while at Duquesne. McConnell, who only received one scholarship offer out of high school, finished third in the country in steals last season with 2.77 per contest. He also averaged 5.5 assists per game, good for 28th in the country. While also averaging 11.4 points and 4.4 rebounds as a sophomore, McConnell was named to the All-Atlantic 10 Conference’s third team.

More people in their 20s and 30s are getting the deadliest form of skin cancer, according to a study from the Mayo Clinic. The study showed reported melanoma cases increased eightfold among young women and fourfold among young men from 1970 to 2009. Melanoma is estimated to have killed 8,790 people in the United States in 2011, according to the National Cancer Institute. The study looked at cases among people ages 18 to 39. “I realize there is a desire to have a tan, but there are consequences,” said Tim Bowden, director of basic science research for the Arizona Cancer Center, who had malignant moles and marks removed from his body. He said neglecting proper protection from the sun as a young adult while enjoying one of his favorite activities, hiking, increased his chances of getting skin cancer. A small red scar, where he had a cancerous growth removed, now sits close to one of his eyebrows. “I know that when you’re young you feel invincible

Streetcar forces more detours By Stephanie Casanova DAILY WILDCAT

As modern streetcar construction progresses, Second Street from Park Avenue to Olive Street will continue to be closed and “detours may be in place along Second Street from Park Avenue to Mountain Avenue” until Sunday, according to a recent streetcar construction update. UA community members are advised to expect lane restrictions on University Boulevard between Park Avenue and Bean Avenue from

1 a.m. to 11 a.m. with possible closures on Euclid Avenue at University Boulevard. “We’ve been meeting with the construction company weekly and they give us what’s happening that week, plus a three week look-ahead,” said Bill Davidson, marketing specialist for UA Parking and Transportation Services. “We’ve been using social media and all the other means to get the word out to the campus.” The downtown area is also ramping up the level of construction causing SunTran to detour many of its routes

and close some of its stops in downtown as of Tuesday, some of which run near the campus area. Route 3, which crosses campus on Sixth Street, will be detoured in downtown as well as express routes 102, 103, 105 and 109, all of which run on Speedway Boulevard. All Ronstadt Transit Center stops will remain open. “We have some buses that come straight here to the campus and then there’s others that go downtown and they (students) have to transfer,” Davidson said. Route 3 will have three discontinued

stops on Granada Avenue at St. Mary’s Road, Granada Avenue at Ashbury Lane and Alameda Street at Court Avenue going east and the nearest stop will be on Toole Avenue at Seventh Street. Express routes will have to discontinue many stops along Congress Street, Broadway Boulevard, Alameda Street, Toole Avenue, Pennington Street, Church Avenue and Stone Avenue.

Faculty supports ethnic studies By Brittny Mejia DAILY WILDCAT

Amid Arizona’s ethnic studies controversy, the Faculty Senate Task Force on Equity and Fairness called for “open discourse” during a forum on Tuesday about the Mexican-American studies debate and academic freedom. Students, professors, faculty, administrators and members of the community filled the seats in the Student Union Memorial Center’s Catalina Room, with some attendees sitting on the floor. Those who tried to enter halfway through the forum were turned away due to lack of space. The forum, which lasted more than two hours, featured two panels of distinguished UA faculty members who presented their research about ethnic studies and scholarship. It featured the ongoing debate over whether or not Mexican-American studies courses should be taught in schools and universities. “Out of our discussions we came up with this idea to do an event sponsored by the president that would reaffirm our commitment here at the U of A to academic

freedom, to the diverse field of ethnic studies and to make sure we were affirming and enabling that we believe in this work and need to pursue it freely in our research and in our classrooms here,” said Miranda Joseph, chair of the Faculty Senate Task Force on Equity and Fairness and associate professor of gender and women’s studies. Jacqueline Mok, provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs, opened the forum and emphasized that there are many points of view within disciplines such as ethnic studies. This is important, she said, because the standard is not to have one point of view but a variety, which will allow multiple arguments to be challenged and considered. Following Mok, a panel of three faculty members discussed their research and each had 10 minutes to speak. Panel member Gary Rhoades, a professor for higher education, said all matters should be discussed regardless of how controversial they may be. “I think our responsibility as a university is to take a stance for open discourse, for intellectual freedom, for academic freedom, not

only in our corridors but in our communities, and to defend the pursuit of knowledge that all of the studies we engage in represent,” Rhoades said. When the speakers finished, an audience member asked the panelists how each of them have reached out, collaborated and supported the teachers and leaders at the forefront of the ethnic studies battle. Each of them provided examples of faculty involvement at various levels, as well as asked audience members to challenge the social order. “I put out a call to our college to form a group of faculty who will meet with students and express the conception that rather than seeing them as people who are only going to succeed by going to the classroom and sitting quietly and obeying, that all change in this society depends on challenging the social order,” Rhoades said. Some forum attendees appreciated the open discourse, but said they were disappointed it had not happened sooner.

College of Med replaces paper with pixels exploration to find what works.” Chelsey Sands, an education graduate student, said she attended the event because she is working on app development for a class and thinks more programs on the iPad will be for educational purposes. “I would love to have interactive textbooks in any class instead of carrying around heavy textbooks,” Sands said. “And I think the technology for this has progressed really fast.” Griffith said he hopes that by teaching professors how to use this new technology he will be able to show that the iPad can be used for more than entertainment. “It is about improving learning,” Griffith said. “Yeah, it is a cool toy and they look really good, but unless we can figure out a way to bring something to the learning process, then why put in the effort? Because it does take time.”

Another application called Explain Everything can serve as an online whiteboard where professors can record and illustrate some of the concepts they are trying to teach. “It’s a way to bring content from the Internet into the book,” Griffith said. “And I am pretty excited bout this.” Jill Newby, an associate librarian for the UA Main Library who attended the event, said she thinks more students will be carrying tablets instead of laptops in the next few years.

TAKE BACK THE NIGHT Survivors of sexual assault share stories with UA, Tucson communities By Rachel Gottfried DAILY WILDCAT

PHOTOS BY GORDON BATES / DAILY WILDCAT

Julia Coleman, a psychology senior, and Briana Rutledge, an anthropology senior, participate for their first time in a solidarity march on Tuesday, organized as part of the “Take Back the Night” event to acknowledge sexual assaults and relationship violence.

In light of April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Campus Health Service, along with several UA student organizations and members of the Tucson community, participated in a march against sexual assault and violence on Tuesday. The “Take Back the Night” event is held nationwide. An estimated 450 people attended Tucson’s march.

For the first time in eight years, the UA and the Tucson community came together to host a joint “Take Back The Night” event. Take Back The Night is an annual event that promotes an end to sexual violence, gendered violence, domestic violence and violence against children. Take Back the Night began with two solidarity marches, one beginning at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center and one at Time Market, near Fourth Avenue. The marches converged in Geronimo Plaza on University Boulevard, “visually coming together” to illustrate the UA and Tucson communities uniting against sexual violence, said Erin Strange, violence prevention specialist for the Oasis Program. The keynote speaker was Frank Galarte, an adjunct lecturer in the UA Department of Gender and Women’s Studies. Galarte, who identified himself as a transgender of color, is a survivor of sexual assault, but he came to speak about what it means to survive, not his personal story. “Through our behaviors, our relationships, our intimacies, and our attractions, we have the power to be able to work together toward the world where racial violence and gender violence is no longer expected or no longer anticipated,” Galarte said. Galarte wanted to bring attention to gender violence, a topic not often talked about at Take Back The Night. He also spoke about the many women

who experience sexual abuse after crossing the border from Mexico. A major component of the event was the “Survivor’s Speak-Out,” where survivors were allowed to come on stage and share their stories. One speaker described being raped at 5 years old, and another discussed being raped just three months ago. One common theme that all of the survivors’ stories shared was that they would not let their abuser control their life. They no longer identified as victims, but as survivors. “One benefit is that it woke me up and now I am able to fight for people who aren’t strong enough and don’t understand that it’s not their fault,” said one survivor. Between speakers, the UA Vagina Warriors and the UA Hypnotic Dancers performed. The event ended with a performance by the Esperanza Dance Project and a candlelight vigil to honor all of the survivors’ stories. The first Take Back The Night took place in the U.S. in the 1970s. People in cities worldwide continue to host annual marches, rallies and performances. Noah Jackter, a student at Tucson High Magnet School, attended Take Back The Night to support his girlfriend, a survivor, and because it was something he felt was important to the Tucson community. Jackter said one thing he learned from the event was that placing blame is a big problem for survivors of sexual assault.

The UA and Tucson formed two solidarity marches on Tuesday, which met in Geronimo Plaza. They were part of the “Take Back the Night” event.

mail inboxes can easily become inundated with messages. It can be hard to keep up with the constant stream of communication, especially when you’re the professor of several hundred students. At the UA, there are 39,086 students and a student-teacher ratio of 20.9 to 1, according to the 2010-11 UA Fact Book and the Princeton Review. With that ratio, professors can often become overwhelmed by email communication to and from students. That is why a tool called Piazza can be an effective resource for professors to utilize. Pooja Sankar, a recent graduate of Stanford University, launched her free website, Piazza, in order to create an online study hall for professors and teaching assistants to host course-related questionand-answer sessions. Additionally, professors can use the website to encourage other students to help their peers. Students will often have Piazza open in a separate tab while they are doing their homework, said Sankar in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Sankar believes this website can save teachers hours each week by allowing them to post answers to student questions on a single online forum rather than through many scattered emails, according to the Chronicle. As the end of the semester draws near, more and more professors are asking students to refrain from sending emails about grades, deadlines and so on. Professors are opening up office hours for students who need help understanding a concept that will be on the final or directing them to the Think Tank for tutoring. However, students can’t always make it to office hours or Think Tank hours for help. Everyone’s schedule is different, and though these set hours do offer students an alternative to emailing professors, they will not work for every student. Piazza can be accessed from home and is available whenever the student has the time to get online and ask their question, so it is convenient for everyone. In college, Sankar was a shy student who didn’t have the courage to ask a question in class, according to the Chronicle. Going online, where questions are almost anonymous, was ideal. With Piazza, a student can see other students’ questions to see if their own question has already been asked and answered. Greg Morrisett, a computer science professor at Harvard University, uses Piazza as a way to monitor those students who step up and answer a lot of other students’ questions. Morrisett is able to single out these talented students and ask them to be teaching fellows for the next year. However, Morrisett said he’s concerned this online forum may serve as an easy way out for students, leading them to just ask questions instead of trying things on their own. A legitimate concern, but any student who is determined to take the easy way out in college will find a way, regardless of whether this website exists or not. Piazza is a convenient way for students to discuss course-related work on a more personal level, both with their professor and with other students. — Ashley T. Powell is a journalism sophomore.

Police Beat By Elliot P. Hopper Daily Wildcat

Going down together University of Arizona Police Department officers were doing a security check on doors near the Highland Market at 3 a.m. on Saturday when they witnessed two students, one male and one female, stumbling as they tried to walk into the market. Officers went inside the market and asked the students if they were OK. The man told officers he fell because his companion was about to, and he wanted to help. Officers noticed the smell of alcohol coming from their breath and that they had red, watery eyes. The officers then asked the students to step outside so they could ask them more questions. The officers asked the students for identification, and as the students handed over their IDs, they told the officers that they were under 21. When the officers asked where the students had been drinking earlier that night, the man said, “We were drinking earlier at a friend’s house and she had about three shots of vodka.” Officers asked if they needed medical attention, but both said they did not. Officers cited both students for minor in possession of alcohol in body and released them. The woman went to Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall and the man took a taxi to his house.

Cold case remains open

A UA professor of immunology finished lecturing a class and walked back to his office at the University of Arizona Medical Center on Friday at 1:13 p.m. He reported that he went into his lab and began conducting research. Inside the lab were four 4-foot tall metal containers full of liquid nitrogen, which he uses for his research to keep samples frozen. He walked over to the tubes to check their pressure and noticed that one of them did not have its cap on, which was causing liquid nitrogen to seep out slowly. The professor told the police that someone has to physically remove the cap in order for the nitrogen to come out and that he has never intentionally removed the cap. According to the police report, nothing was damaged. There were also no forced entry points on the door. The police believe the door was left open or unlocked at some point.

Roommate says no to drugs

A student from Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall saw marijuana on her roommate’s desk and told the resident assistant on Friday at 5:40 p.m. She photographed the marijuana and then contacted UAPD. Officers asked the RA to direct them to the room. When they entered, both girls were inside. Officers noted that they were both very upset, and asked the student who reported the incident to leave the room and speak with another officer. Officers then told the roommate that she had been called on because there was marijuana on her desk. Officers noted in the report that there was no longer any marijuana visible to the public eye. The student told officers that her roommate had thrown the marijuana in the trash. Officers searched the trash and found the unsmoked joint, and cited the roommate for possession of marijuana. The student who reported the incident told the RA that she would like to move out of the room as soon as possible. Officers asked both women if they would be civil to each other, and both responded yes. The marijuana was placed into UAPD Property and Evidence and the roommate was referred to the dean of students.

Queer Film Series - ‘Bi the Way’ Wednesday, April 11, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. The Queer Film Series is a monthly film series featuring documentaries about the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. Each screening is followed by a guest speaker. The iron curtain between gay and straight culture is crumbling. The Bible belt is being unbuckled. Recent studies suggest that bisexuality is drastically more widespread than we ever thought. And for young people, dating a girl one week and a guy the next is no big deal. Journeying through the changing sexual landscape of America, the directors of “Bi the Way” investigate the latest scientific reports and social opinions on bisexuality, while following five members of the emerging “whatever generation” – teens and 20-somethings who seem to be ushering in a whole new sexual revolution. This film is co-sponsored by Pride Alliance, LGBTQ Affairs, Women’s Resource Center, F.O.R.C.E., ASUA and the Dean of Students office. Student Union Memorial Center Gallagher Theater Arizona Repertory Theatre Presents ‘Bat Boy: The Musical’ Wednesday, April 11, 7:30 p.m. Borne from the 1992 headlines of The Weekly World News, this satirical musical tells the astonishing story of a halfbat, half-human boy and his struggle for love and acceptance in a world that snubs him.

SEALING THE

DEAL

From financial investments to lavish spring break trips, three drug dealers’ experiences as independent businessmen By Greg Gonzales DAILY WILDCAT

S

pending the past few months with drug dealers has been oddly uninspiring. The life of a drug dealer isn’t an everlasting party. But all drug dealers have two desires in common: easy money and personal autonomy. Like a new business owner on crack, drug dealers face risks people can’t possibly understand without personal experience. If the dealer conducts himself well and quits while he’s ahead, he might avoid the law or getting stabbed in the gut. Other dealers stick with it too long, and eventually screw up, usually falling into debt or onto the hood of a police car. But there are many kinds of drug dealers, all of whom have varying levels of success. Here are the stories of three drug dealers I got to know during the past three months.

Some drug dealers get caught and serve time. Other drug dealers leave the business before they get in trouble. A happy member of the latter group is Jake, an infantry Marine. Jake, who declined to be identified by full name, was a drug dealer in high school, from the time he was 15 to 19 years old. He sold cocaine, medicalgrade marijuana, prescription painkillers and other pills. After four years of making as much as $2,500 each month, Jake saved up several thousand dollars. Jake said it all started with his first time buying weed: “I bought a nug of marijuana and flipped it double to someone else for what I paid for it,” he said. “I figured, ‘Hey, I can use this shit to make money.’” Jake also tried the drugs he sold in order to make sure he wasn’t selling anything bad. “I wouldn’t sell (a drug) without knowing what it did,” he said. Drug dealers aren’t very averse to risk. In addition to the dangers of using some drugs, dealing comes with personal risks. Past the legal ramifications, the trade is by nature a lawless one, where one dealer might screw over or kill the competition — or even his own customers — so the idea can seem daunting. Just consider the risk of transporting an illegal product. On a drive up to Phoenix with a kilo of cocaine, Jake had a somewhat close call with the Border Patrol. He was pulled over, but the dogs weren’t called to his truck, so he didn’t get caught. Good luck is a precious commodity in dealing.

said. “When you’re in that kind of work, it’s always going to come to a bad end, unless you come out while you’re ahead. So I made the choice to get out while I was ahead and not get caught up in it.” Jake is shipping out to Afghanistan this year. Once he returns, he’ll be greeted by family, friends and several thousand dollars in savings and investments.

Dorm dealing

College kids like to experiment, but unless a student meets a friend of a friend, it’s usually difficult to find a consistent drug dealer. This is where the dorm dealers come in. Grant Hull, an anthropology senior, sold small amounts of marijuana from his dorm room during his freshman year. Unlike Jake, Grant was already smoking marijuana on a daily basis before he began to sell it. However, it was just as easy for him to get started as a drug dealer. “I started with a few of my friends,” Grant said. “One day we decided — we knew this kid who could get us ounces — so we just went over and got one.” While Grant liked the quick cash, his friends weren’t the dealing type. “We sold the first ounce together, but they weren’t really into it so much,” Grant said. “I just knew people who bought weed and smoked weed, so I told them that if they needed any to just come to my room.” According to Grant, the dorm dealing scene was pretty relaxed. For the most part, he said, Grant kept his business between friends and fellow dorm-dwellers. All he had to do to stay safe was keep the door locked. When you’re in that kind of work, it’s always “That way, if I was in class or something, people going to come to a bad end, unless you come would know (to go down the hall) and be like, out while you’re ahead. So I made the choice to ‘Hey, can I get a gram?’” Grant said. For the most part, his plan worked. Unlike more get out while I was ahead and not get caught reckless dealers, Grant never ended up in the Daily up in it. Wildcat’s Police Beat section. Instead, he ended up with approximately $100 to $200 a week and a well-funded spring break. “That’s why I don’t really have (the money) anymore,” Grant said. “Just buying stupid shit like Most of Jake’s customers never knew his name. clothes, more weed. I was pretty irresponsible with it.” “You had to watch your back and watch your Grant wasn’t running a $10,000 operation. He buddy’s back,” Jake said. “Someone could be said the only worry he had was being ratted out watching you.” by someone, which is something that every dealer In order to avoid suspicion, Jake never used his I talked to admitted was a concern. Still, even drug dealing money to make huge purchases — a though he was a small-time dorm dealer, Grant ran small trip, food, a couple of college classes and into a problem that ultimately ended his business some small investments. He also had another when he ran out of weed and found that the frat thing going for him. guy who normally sold to him had also run out. A “Coming from a wealthy family, I was kind of friend of his offered to front him some, which this expected to have a decent amount of cash on me at all times,” he said. “I always put it on that. I never new dealer had no right to do in the first place. “It wasn’t his (the dealer’s), it was his friend’s, said it was from a secondary income.” who was also a dealer,” Grant said. “So (his His family never found out. And he never let his friends get involved, for his sake and theirs, Jake said. friend) got pissed at me and there was this misunderstanding.” Eventually, Jake got tired of drug dealing and Grant ended up owing money and decided to started looking to the future. “I realized that the lifestyle would soon catch up quit because it was near the end of the school year. with me. All good things come to an end, right?” he “I was like, ‘Fuck it,’” he said. “It would have been

a pain in the ass to get another ounce and start the process again.” But that was his freshman year. During his sophomore year, Grant started selling from an apartment. However, he quit for the “final” time when he gave up smoking marijuana. Of course, like anyone who truly loves weed, he started smoking again. But his dealing life was over.

Hit it and quit it

Even cash-broke, I’ve found that (drug dealing) is what makes me happy. It’s based on passion. It keeps me moving forward.

At the same time, other dorm dealers picked up the slack. “I’d say for any dorm, there’s probably at least one or two kids (selling weed),” Grant said. “When I did, there were at least three or four other guys I knew in the dorms — at my dorm, at least — who were doing it at any given time.” No matter what, there will always be a place for students of all backgrounds to get their weed. Not all explorers of the mind — psychonauts — are students, though. According to the 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, at least 22 million people in the United States use illegal drugs. So where do the non-students get their drugs?

Wheeler dealer: Sticking with it

Ordering pizza is pretty awesome: Suddenly, pizza magically arrives at the door to cure cravings for a small price. Some drug dealers do the same thing, except with a pharmacopeia of drugs. This deliveryman is Tom Ado. Yes, he requested a name inspired by “Pokémon.” He’s certainly not your typical shady street dealer, who sits on the corner selling bags of oregano. He’s not one of those rave people who sells pills. He’s not a kingpin. He’s something in between it all, and he loves his job. “Even cash-broke, I’ve found that (drug dealing) is what makes me happy,” Tom said. “It’s based on passion. It keeps me moving forward.” Tom doesn’t even consider dealing to be a job. “I would call it a means to a means,” Tom said. “I’m fundraising … for legal enterprises I’ll have in the future, such as opening a local head shop, or becoming a wholesale distributor of glassware.” If you haven’t guessed by now, Tom really loves weed. In fact, sharing his love of weed is what got him into the business. Before a Thanksgiving feast last year, Tom smoked in California with his cousin, who is connected to Los Angeles’ medical marijuana scene through friends and a medical card. Just three months later, Tom started transporting high-grade marijuana from California

McConnell is an ideal guard for UA’s Miller Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Guard Nick Johson matches up with T.J. McConnell during the Wildcats’ victory against Duquesne on Nov. 9. The two are now teammates after McConnell’s decision to transfer to Arizona next year.

Point man goes from under-recruited to big-time transfer By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

O

n Nov. 8, 2011, T.J. McConnell stood in a McKale Center hallway talking about his upcoming Wednesday night game against family friend Sean Miller. Sporting red and blue Duquesne warm-ups, the point guard discussed his road to Duquesne and the longstanding friendship between Tim McConnell, his father and coach, and UA head coach Miller. His admiration for Miller and his program was apparent in McConnell’s every word, yet the floor general had never had the chance to play for Arizona’s coach. Despite averaging 34.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 9.1 assists while leading Chartiers Valley High School in Bridgeville, Pa., to a 29-2 record and a Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League title under his father’s coaching, McConnell received just one scholarship offer. Recently fired Duquesne head coach Ron Everhart was the only coach to call McConnell and offer him a roster spot, and the 6-foot-1, 185-pound point guard had no choice but to sign on. McConnell always dreamed of playing big-time college basketball, but that wasn’t going to happen at Duquesne. He said that because of that lack of recruitment, “I go out there every night and play like I have something to prove.” McConnell has proved his worth to Miller. After he took the Atlantic 10 Conference by storm his freshman year and turned 10.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.8 steals per game into Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year honors, Miller raved about the point guard. “I think he’s one of the best point guards in the country,” Miller said at the time.

“He’s the consummate point guard. He makes his team better. Just my familiarity with Duquesne and the success they have in the Atlantic 10, he’s a really good player that will test our point guards.” Although Arizona defeated Duquesne 67-59 that night, Miller was yet again impressed with McConnell, who finished with nine points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals in 37 minutes. “I really appreciate him as a player,” Miller said. After a brief embrace following the game, the Western Pennsylvania natives parted ways. Miller continued on with his team, and McConnell continued on with his. But when McConnell announced he was leaving Duquesne after the season, the two collided yet again. Miller pursued the point guard and ended up in a competition with Virginia’s Tony Bennett for McConnell’s commitment. On Tuesday morning it was official that Miller had won the battle, and McConnell would no longer stand in that McKale Center hallway wearing Duquesne warm ups. After taking an unusual path to bigtime Division I basketball, McConnell is now a Wildcat and all he can think about is winning. “Obviously I’ve never played in the NCAA Tournament,” McConnell told the Daily Wildcat on Tuesday. “Arizona made that Elite Eight run. I think we can do that here at Arizona.” But what about Josiah Turner? “I heard there was Josiah, but you know, I think that’s about it at the point guard position,” McConnell said. “I’m just here to get people the ball, play defense and win. I’m all in.” McConnell said he “fell in love” with the campus on his visit last weekend, “loved everything about the players,

He’s the consummate point guard. He makes his team better.

school and program” and was finally able to get to know Miller. “Once I broke that seal and got to know him on a personal level, that made my decision that much easier,” McConnell said. When Miller called McConnell one of the best point guards in the country last year, McConnell never thought he’d end up playing for Arizona. When McConnell stepped into McKale Center just over five months ago, he never predicted he would put on an Arizona jersey, but he was giddy about the mere thought. “I wasn’t always thinking about it then but the experience is something that I’ve never experienced before,” he said. “Having 14,500 fans every night. They’re right on top of you, one of the best fan bases in the country.” McConnell doesn’t have to imagine that feeling anymore. He’ll sit out next season due to NCAA transfer rules and then most likely join forces with whoever remains from Arizona’s loaded 2011 and 2012 recruiting classes. Unlike with Duquesne, McConnell has a chance to win on a national stage in Arizona, and he’s planning on doing exactly that. “I just came here to win and I think we can do that here,” he said. “I’m going to bring the will to win, a tough mindset and unselfishness — just an all-around hard worker.”

espite landing the No. 1 recruiting class in the country, UA head coach Sean Miller knew there was something missing. Arizona’s 2012 class has size in 7-foot center Kaleb Tarczewski and 6-foot-10 power forward Grant Jerrett. It has versatility in 6-foot-8 forward Brandon Ashley, and it has an explosive scorer in 6-foot-2 shooting guard Gabe York. But Miller’s highly touted 2012 class was missing a floor general to rally the troops, distribute the ball and defend the point of attack. T.J. McConnell filled that void on Tuesday. McConnell, who committed to Arizona on Tuesday after seeking a transfer from Duquesne, was Miller’s missing link. “He just said there’s a missing piece to us making a run at the Elite Eight and the Final Four,” McConnell explained. “He said he’s a coach’s son and he would love to have a chance to coach someone like me and I jumped on it.” Sure, Arizona won’t have McConnell until the 201314 season. Yes, Josiah Turner could very well be there manning the point guard position. But as Turner proved last season, there’s no such thing as a sure thing with him. He still remains suspended indefinitely, and even when he was on his game last season, he didn’t play at the level of an elite player you can’t afford to have out of the lineup. Even if Turner is there, McConnell will have a chance to play — and possibly start — because of what he brings to the table. He’s the perfect point guard for Miller’s system. So perfect, in fact, that McConnell’s former Duquesne coach and Miller’s longtime friend Ron Everhart compared the two as players. “I’ll be honest with you, T.J. reminded me a lot of Sean when I first saw him,” Everhart said. “T.J. comes from the same sort of family environment that Sean does, and I’ll tell you that was very attractive to me as a coach because I had seen how successful Sean and Archie have been.” Miller’s a defense-first coach, and McConnell finished third in the NCAA in steals both his freshman and sophomore seasons. With his motion-heavy offense, Miller preaches protecting the ball and limiting turnovers. Two seasons ago, McConnell posted the sixth-best assist-to-turnover ratio for a freshman in NCAA history at 2.50. McConnell provides everything that Turner couldn’t accomplish last season. He can defend the point of attack and get Arizona into its offense, and he distributed 5.5 assists per game last season. There’s no better player to mix with big-time recruits like Ashley, Jerrett, Tarczewski and York than a consummate floor general looking to distribute the ball. As a result of landing just one scholarship offer, McConnell is driven to make it at the big-time Division I level. That drive shines through in conversation: “I’m going to bring the will to win.” “I’m all in.” “I’m going 100 percent.” Alongside a group of players who have been pegged with star rankings their entire lives, Arizona needed a player like McConnell. Miller needed a player like McConnell. And McConnell, in pursuit of a spot among the nation’s elite, needed Arizona. Even Turner needs a player like McConnell to push him. Tuesday morning was a win-win situation for everyone involved, and although it will take until the 2013-14 season, that will eventually come to light. ­— Mike Schmitz is a marketing senior.

Softball trounces Utah in doubleheader By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

The Arizona softball team did not extend a cordial welcome to the Pac-12’s newest member, sweeping Utah in a Tuesday doubleheader and preventing it from picking up its first-ever Pac-12 win, 8-0 and 3-1. Despite the lopsided score in game one, the UA bats were quiet at the start. “Sometimes you’re seeing the ball well as a hitter, sometimes you’re not,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “Sometimes our hitters are thinking about what they don’t want to swing at instead of having a clear mind and a plan. It’s a mindset, it’s a comfort zone.” In the fourth inning, with no outs and the bases loaded, Arizona (27-10, 6-5 Pac-12) choked away a golden opportunity to essentially put the game on ice against the Utes, who were un-

able to register a hit until the sixth inning. Instead, Arizona waited until the the sixth to put up five runs, including two big-time hits, a two-run triple from junior Brigette Del Ponte — who was 4-6 with two home runs and five RBIs on the day — and freshman Shelby Pendley’s 14th home run of the season, extending the lead to 8-0 and all but ending the game. All-American pitcher Kenzie Fowler was back to her usual self, blowing the ball past batters while pitching a two-hit shutout and striking out six. “A lot of times in the middle of the year, I feel the junior and seniors have been around, you know?” Fowler said. “You think about it because you know what you’re doing and what you need to do, you’re just not trying to put too much pressure on yourself.” Game two of the day saw less scoring than the first, as the Wildcats mustered

up six hits in a 3-1 win. Shelby Babcock was in the circle for Arizona. Her only blemish in tossing a six-hit, one-run complete game was a third-inning home run by Chalese Fankhauser. In the fifth inning, Del Ponte and her bat were at it again, going deep for the second time in as many games — giving Arizona the boost it needed, pushing the score from a one-run game to a two-run lead the Wildcats would ‘t give up. “I do my best when I’m having fun, I just need to relax and clear my head,” Del Ponte said. “I used a new bat. The black one wasn’t doing me good, and the brown one wasn’t doing me good, so I used a new mojo … Thank God.” The final game of the Utah series will be played today at noon at Hillenbrand Colin prenger / Daily Wildcat Stadium, before the Wildcats head to Northern California to face No. 1 Cal in Arizona third baseman Brigette Del Ponte swings at a pitch during Arizona’s 3-1 win in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against Utah at Hillenbrand Stadium. a three-game weekend series.

football notes

Putton passes US citizenship test By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

Chris Putton, a starting guard for the Arizona football team last season, has been faced with the tough task of transitioning to left tackle due to injuries and suspensions. But after practice Monday, protecting quarterback Matt Scott’s blind side wasn’t anywhere near Putton’s mind. Instead, U.S. government and history were. Putton traveled to Phoenix on Tuesday to take the 100-question citizenship test. “I need to know things like when the Constitution was written, all about the House of Representatives and the Senate,” Putton said. “It’s going to be pretty crazy.” Born in Munich, Germany, Putton said he is not getting a dual citizenship

because he really is just an American at heart. “I definitely don’t,” Putton said when asked if he considers himself a German citizen. “I love my family there but I’m not going to live there anymore so I might as well get my citizenship here.” According to Putton, he passed the test on Tuesday and is set to be sworn in as a U.S. citizen on the most patriotic day of all — July 4. The fact that he isn’t even technically a permanent U.S. resident at the moment — he has a green card — isn’t something many people know. “I guarantee you a lot of my teammates don’t even know that I’m not a citizen here,” Putton said. “They know I was born in Germany, but they don’t know I’m not a citizen.” Going forward, Putton will play

a key role in protecting Scott, whether it’s at guard or his personally preferred left tackle position. Wherever he does line up, he will be proud to finally be doing it as a U.S. citizen. “This place has been where I’ve grown up, I came here when I was 7,” Putton said. “I’ve spent more time here than I have there. This is my home now so I might as well make it permanent.”

Morrison limited by shoulder injury

Converted wide receiver Richard Morrison was supposed to challenge Matt Scott for his starting spot in the spring, but he has been unable to adequately challenge the redshirt senior after injuring his shoulder in the Wildcats’ first scrimmage. Since

then, he has been taking few snaps at quarterback. “He’s been really limited,” head coach Rich Rodriguez said. “It’s been frustrating for him and everybody since he hasn’t been able to throw as much as we’d like. He’s been at least able to learn the offense, I think that’s the biggest thing we want to see, if he can learn everything a quarterback has to learn.” Despite his early setback, Rodriguez still sees the sophomore playing a key role thanks to his versatility as both quarterback and receiver, and not just as a decoy. “The thing we wanted to do is make sure we’re not putting him in there as a so-called ‘Wildcat’ type of quarterback where he’s no threat to throw,” Rodriguez said. “He can throw the football, and he can throw it very well.

“He’ll probably play more receiver than quarterback in the last couple practices but we want to turn him loose as well, I think it’s been a good move, and it’s been a move we’ll be able to keep him at quarterback in the fall.” Morrison had 22 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns as a receiver in 2011.

Jenkins to miss rest of spring Junior running back Daniel Jenkins will likely miss the rest of spring ball after suffering a hamstring injury in the second scrimmage. Rodriguez said that Jenkins will be a “full-go” in the fall though.

Baseball’s rotation tearing up opposing lineups By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

Winning in the Pac-12 Conference — one of the toughest conferences in the nation — is no easy feat. But for the No. 4 Arizona baseball team, the consistency of its weekend starting pitchers proves why it’s at the top of the conference table. The Arizona rotation of Kurt Heyer, Konner Wade and James Farris anchors the team every single weekend and is one of the most lethal pitching trios in the nation. With a combined ERA of 3.32, the reason these starters are so dominant is their ability to feed off of each other. “We give each other a report on each outing,” Heyer said. “Farris said a while ago that it’s a challenge between us, who can do the best over a weekend. We kind of have that nice little competitive nature between us.”

Heyer boasts a team-leading 2.10 ERA, and as the Friday starter, he wants to set the bar high for his teammates. “I’ll always try my best to set the tone,” Heyer said. “If they do better than me, I’ll tip my hat to them, but it’s always a big deal for me to give them a good view of what they’re facing the next two days.” Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said that his starters have really come into their element. “If you balance it out, we pitch well enough to win two out of three, so I’m pretty happy about that,” LoColin prenger / Daily Wildcat pez said. “If you told me we were going to win two out of three from here Saturday starter Konner Wade has been key to the surprising Arizona rotation. The team’s collective 3.86 ERA helps complement the Pac-12’s top offense. on out, I would sign that contract.” Heyer’s noticed that the staff is beLopez didn’t find out until ginning to establish its identity. Lopez unconcerned but Monday morning. “Right now we have a really con“I was in a staff meeting at 10, crete rotation,” Heyer said. “Hopefully with standings The Wildcats now sit alone in the saying we don’t do this well, we we can keep it going, keep throwing No. 1 spot of the Pac-12 standings, don’t do that well, and one of my strikes, and give our guys a win.”

guys said, ‘Coach, we’re in first place in the Pac-12,’ and I was like, ‘You’re kidding me,” Lopez said. At the beginning of the season, the schedule that the team gets doesn’t have any of the opposing team names listed. Every single game is equally important, according to the UA coaching staff. The Wildcats deserve their position at the top of the table, but regardless of the standings, Lopez remains focused elsewhere. “I really try to pay attention to what we’re doing on a day in and day out basis,” Lopez said. “How’re we doing, how’re we pitching.” Lopez said he hasn’t been concerned with standings for a long time. “I did that a lot when I was younger and I did too much damage to my own psyche,” he said. “I just pay attention to what we’re doing today.”

No violence, no paranoia, no problems. Despite his passion, Tom isn’t making Unlike Jake and Grant, Tom plans to much profit. He ended up owing his continue dealing for a while. He said that cousin quite a bit of dough: $3,500. On eventually, he’ll open up a smoke shop average, he only makes $70 a week, and have other people deal for him while though business seems to be picking up. he just skims off the top.

Selling a product people want is an attractive job. Like a business owner, the dealer manages his own finances, can choose his customers and partners and has full control over his operation. This comes with a certain set of skills and character traits that are similar to those of entrepreneurs. In fact, according to a study by the University of California, Santa Cruz, drug dealers are 11 to 21 percent more likely to choose self-employment than non-drug dealers. Some of the traits described in the study are the ones Tom expressed: a yearning for autonomy, low aversion to risk and a dislike for working under people. The study also found that basic job skills and an education had either little or a negative effect on the likelihood of an individual becoming self-employed. So perhaps drug dealing is good training for future business endeavors. Maybe not the safest training, but training all the same. A National Business Incubation Association study found that 80 percent of businesses fail during the first five years. And the UC study mentioned that drug dealers may lack the knowledge of business opportunities and financial capital needed to be successful — or even get started — in business. So maybe business students make the best dealers. I’m not advising drug dealing as a profession. It’s a truly dangerous job, and every drug dealer I met has had some pretty bad experiences, both financially and personally. However, some dealers find that the danger is worth the money, autonomy and enjoyment they get from the job.

and don’t think about what happens to your skin, but it can be a problem further down the road.” In the last five years, the Cancer Center has treated 201 patients with skin cancer between the ages of 20 and 30, and 152 of those cases were melanoma. “I not only see people in their 50s or 60s coming for treatment, I see on occasion teenagers and young people who have it,” said Lisa Quale, a senior health educator for the Cancer Center. “Everybody thinks that cancer, and especially skin cancer, is something only older people can get, but it’s not. Anyone, regardless of age, can get skin cancer.”

Tanning beds to blame?

Bowden said he thinks more young people are getting skin cancer because of the popularity of tanning beds, which were introduced in the 1970s, the decade melanoma saw an uptick. Using tanning beds, according to a 2010 study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, raises the risk of

corner of Congress Street at Church Avenue, the northwest corner of Congress Street at Granada Avenue, the corner of Church Avenue at Pennington Street and the northeast corner of Sixth Avenue at Pennington Street. The streetcar project will relocate a section of the water line on Second Street between Palm Drive and Mountain Avenue on Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Because the UA has its own well for domestic water, the water line, which belongs to the city of Tucson, will only affect fire hydrants and emergency sprinklers in nearby buildings. Wednesday’s relocation will not turn off any fire line but may affect water pressures in the lines. “We can turn off that fire line and not affect any buildings,” said Chris Wilt, facilities project manager. “All the fire services will remain active.”

developing melanoma by 74 percent. While tanning beds were first introduced as a safer way for people to tan, they were soon discovered to be more harmful than tanning outdoors, according to Bowden. This is because tanning beds typically operate on high amounts of ultraviolet rays called UVB rays. Unlike UVA rays, UVB rays are responsible for sunburns and have been found to be more harmful to the skin. “Young people and children using tanning beds have a significant increase in developing malignant melanoma,” Bowden said. “And unfortunately malignant melanoma can be a very insidious disease and spread to other parts of the body and has a very high death rate.” Bowden said melanoma, unlike other forms of skin cancer, has the potential to spread to other organs. The National Cancer Institute estimates a five-year survival rate of only 15 percent when this happens.

Is tanning addictive?

Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center found that tanning is not only dangerous, but that it actually changes brain activity as well. Their study, published in the journal Addiction Biology in

As the streetcar project continues to work with underground utilities, some city water will be shut down in short phases but this will not affect water fountains, sinks, showers or any other domestic water source on campus. “Ultimately, the whole water line down Second (Street) needs to be relocated for the streetcar,” Wilt said. “The only water that they’re going to be turning off is water that affects the (fire) sprinklers and fire hydrants.” Fourth Avenue between Sixth Street and University Boulevard will also remain closed to traffic throughout the week of April 9, keeping sidewalks and business access open to pedestrians. “It’s a small price to pay in terms of a delay right now for a few months of impact versus what they’ll (businesses or business owners) end up having in the long run,” said Jesse Gutierrez, the City of Tucson Construction Project Manager.

August 2011, showed that high exposure to ultraviolet rays and the reward of being darker can trigger brain cortexes associated with addiction. “One of the things we know about tanning is that it is very hard for people to stop,” said David Sbarra, director of clinical training for the Department of Psychology. “If tanning activates certain centers in the brain and it’s pleasurable and behaviors are a consequence, then it gets reinforced that way.” Jessica Martinez, a business management senior and employee at the tanning salon Tan D Sol, said frequently using tanning beds produces a feeling of happiness because of the warmth of the lights and the exposure to UV rays. “Some girls will come in here after taking a bad test and ask to use the tanning beds,” Martinez said. “It can be very comforting in a sense.” Audrey Fitzsimmons, a journalism senior, noticed she was paying a lot in monthly tanning fees at a salon, so she decided to purchase a tanning bed for $600. Fitzsimmons checks her skin regularly and only tans up to the factory-recommended 20 minutes to be safe. The time limit is the worst part, she said. “As long as you know the risks

and you are cautious and wear sunscreen outside, then I don’t think you will be at much of a risk than someone who does not do these things and uses a tanning bed,” she said.

tanning beds as amenities. Residents simply agree to associated health risks in the lease. Sarah France, a journalism freshman, said she has a monthly pass to a tanning salon and uses a tanning bed on a regular basis. “When you are paying a monthly fee and you know that you can go as many times as you want, it’s kind of like, ‘Why not just go?’” France said.

Avoid getting burned: Skin cancer prevention tips Shade is your friend: In the middle of the day, when your shadow is shorter than you, the sun’s rays are the strongest. When this happens, try to seek shade. Cover up: Pick clothing with fabrics you cannot see through when held up to the light. Sunscreen: Use sunscreen and lip balm with a SPF of 15 or higher. Apply every two hours or after physical activities. Put a cap on it: Wear a hat that will shade your face, ears and neck. If you wear a baseball cap,

sunscreen is needed to protect your ears and neck. “It’s too bright!”: Your eyes are just as important as your skin. To protect them, wear sunglasses with 99-100 percent UV absorption. Don’t let those gray days fool you: UV rays travel through clouds, so protect your skin even on cloudy or overcast days. Know the signs: Watch out for abnormal moles, growths or lumps on the skin.

completely, they can still collect contributions to relieve campaignrelated debts. This allows them to save their reputation for “future runs,” according to Barbara Norrander, a professor in the School of Government and Public Policy, and allows “party regulars” to continue their support through contributions. Santorum also gets to keep the 285 delegates he already won during the primary process. He was “pretty far behind Romney” in his delegate count, Norrander said, and candidates who trail significantly tend to drop out of the race. “He can release them (the delegates) if he wants to, but suspending helps with the financial aspect,” she said. “He can keep raising money to pay off campaign debts he has.”
