UA’s rainy-day fund will Lowest help curb costs next year cancer

$16 million in reserves going to offset undergraduate, resident tuition hike

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The use of reserves to subsidize tuition increases will grant the UA more time to deal with state budget cuts, according to UA President Robert Shelton.

The Arizona Board of Regents approved a $1,500 increase to undergraduate resident tuition at its meeting on April 7, raising tuition to $9,114 for next year.

The decision was made with the amendment that each affected student will receive a $750 rebate funded by more than $16 million of the UA’s reserve funds.

The tuition increases were made following a $198 million cut in state funding to the university system, $78 million of which was attributed to the UA. The use of reserves to pay for the tuition rebate sends a positive message to students and families, Shelton said. He said

the rebate will help them cope with increases for next year.

“The rebate certainly is a onetime event,” Shelton said. “It’s money that, once it’s spent, is gone.”

The UA has $271 million in cash reserves, though most of the money is committed to other purposes, said Regents Chair Anne Mariucci at the meeting. The UA can use its uncommitted reserves for the rebate due to conservative budgeting in the past, Shelton said.

“We had set aside those reserves exactly for that purpose,” he said.

“The regents asked us to do that.”

Shelton said he could not speculate about additional tuition increases for following years because it will largely depend on state budget cuts. This year’s use of reserves will allow the university to copensate for the current cut over multiple years, he said.

“We have to solve that problem,” Shelton said. “The use of reserves doesn’t solve that prob-

lem. It buys us time.”

The tuition rebate is a victory for students, said Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze. “(I was) happy they backed down from the full proposal,” she said. “It shows some type of commitment to minimizing cost increases on UA students and family.”

The UA must continue to plan for the future and be cautious when using reserves, Fritze said.

She said the approved proposal strikes a good balance between minimizing the impact on students and planning for potential budget cuts in the future.

“Unfortunately, I really don’t think the state will stabilize funding just yet,” Fritze said.

Elma Delic, board chair of the Arizona Students’ Association, said the careful use of reserves is important, considering the full tuition increase was approved at Arizona State University because

the university did not have sufficient reserve funds.

“At the same time, it definitely helps students when it comes to the tuition increases,” she said.

The amount of the rebate is too large considering mandatory fees approved by the board for all students will have a significant effect on graduate students, said Graduate and Professional Student Council President Emily Connally.

“I was incredibly disappointed by the fact they’re giving a break to undergraduate residents and not instructors,” she said. “I thought it was really political.”

Connally said the use of reserves could decrease the quality of education and showed poor planning for the future.

“It shouldn’t be the case that the universities are asked to suck it up when they’ve made so many cuts already,” she said. “To me, it’s not a victory for anyone to look at short-term gain.”

Arizona has the lowest cancer rate of any state in the United States, according to new data from a United States Cancer Statistics report.

The current report shows that Arizona has the lowest number of diagnosed cancer cases and the second-lowest mortality rate for cancer of any state. The report takes into account data for 2007, the most recent year of which this data is available.

The rates of lung, breast, colon and rectum, and prostate cancers are all below the national average. These types of cancer are the most commonly found cancers in the United States, according to Yira Bermudez , assistant professor of medicine at the Arizona Cancer Center.

Bermudez said preventing and detecting these cancers is one of the major goals of the Arizona Cancer Center, but also said that prevention of all cancers is a primary focus.

“All cancers can be deadly, especially when found late,” Bermudez said.

Bermudez said that early detection is important, and the primary way to support this is by educating the public on prevention techniques.

One of the main programs the Arizona Cancer Center promotes is “Living in Harmony with the Sun ,” which aims to promote educational programs and events to help with the prevention of skin cancer in Arizona.

“These types of programs … educate people and we definitely think they are key to the prevention of cancer,” Bermudez said.

The data released shows an overall downward trend of the amount of people diagnosed and killed by cancer in the United States. Bermudez said that current research contributed by places such as the Arizona Cancer Center, which Bermudez said is a “top ten” cancer research center, has aided to this trend.

David S. Alberts, director of the Arizona Cancer Center, said this new data is “extremely welcome” but warned that this is only one small step in the ongoing battle against cancer.

“Unfortunately, our lowest rates are extremely high, when compared to other continents, and cancer continues to be the leading

Tucson allergy season a yearlong issue

By Michelle Weiss ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT While the spring season means more allergy aggravations than usual for the rest of the country, allergies are a year-round problem for Tucsonans.

Spring is a common time for allergies to hit because of the palo verde trees, said Dr. Mark Brown, a UA professor of pediatrics who specializes in pulmonology at University Medical Center.

Genetically, springtime is when plants pollinate, which can be very potent, said Dr. Martin Bartels, an allergist and immunologist at Southern Arizona Allergy Associates.

Poll: Best way to fight deficits High Court weighs ways is to raise taxes on the rich McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON — Alarmed by rising national debt and increasingly downbeat about their country’s course, Americans are clear about how they want to attack the government’s runway budget deficits: raise taxes on the wealthy and keep hands off of Medicare and Medicaid.

At the same time, they say that the government should not raise the legal debt ceiling, which the government must do soon to borrow more money, despite warnings that failing to do so would force the government into default, credit markets into turmoil and the economy into a tailspin.

Those are among the findings of a national McClatchy-Marist poll taking the country’s pulse just as President Barack Obama and Congress launch what could be a multi-year debate on the role of government and how to finance it.

Obama heads to northern Virginia on Tuesday and California on Wednesday to pitch his long-term budget proposals, as lawmakers from Congress are taking a spring recess, with most in their home districts.

On tackling the deficit, voters by a margin of 2-to-1 support raising taxes on incomes above $250,000, with 64 percent in favor and 33 percent opposed.

Independents supported

to rehabilitate

higher taxes on the wealthy by 63-34 percent; Democrats by 83-15 percent; and Republicans opposed by 43-54 percent.

Support for higher taxes rose by 5 percentage points after Obama called for that as one element of his deficit-reduction strategy last week. Opposition dropped by 6 points. The poll was conducted before and after the speech.

Americans clearly don’t want the government to cut Medicare, the government health program for the elderly, or Medicaid, the program for the poor. Republicans in the House of Representatives voted last week to drastically restructure and reduce those programs, while Obama calls for trimming their costs but leaving them essentially intact.

Voters oppose cuts to those programs by 80-18 percent.

Even among conservatives, only 29 percent supported cuts, and 68 percent opposed them.

Public views are more mixed on cutting defense spending, with 44 percent supporting cuts and 54 percent opposed.

One dividing line is education: College graduates want to cut defense spending by 63-36 percent. Non-college graduates oppose cutting the Pentagon by 61-36 percent.

No matter how the government tackles its deficits and debt, Americans don’t want it to borrow any more.

McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — Alejandra Tapia expected to go to prison as punishment for her crimes. But she didn’t expect to be there longer so she could undergo drug rehabilitation.

The U.S. Supreme Court took up her case Monday to decide whether federal judges can sentence prisoners to more time behind bars if it’s deemed to be for their own good. The outcome could have a broad impact, since more than 80,000 convicted criminals are sentenced each year, and the lower federal courts are split over whether judges may consider “rehabilitation” when setting a prison term.

Tapia’s case put a spotlight on the history of sentencing policy in America and the personal history of a troubled young woman. She was arrested at San Ysidro, Calif., in 2008 when border agents found two illegal aliens hidden in her converted Jeep. She was charged with the attempted smuggling of aliens. When she did not appear for a court hearing, she was arrested again, and agents found methamphetamine in her apartment.

Tapia was convicted on all counts, but because she had been sexually abused as a child, her lawyer asked for leniency from the court.

Nigerian election results contested McClatchy Newspapers ABUJA, Nigeria — International observers declared Nigeria’s weekend presidential election the fairest in decades. But riots across the north Monday and the loser’s unwillingness to accept the results undercut this divided nation’s bid to move toward orderly democracy.

The violence underscored the West African nation’s deep sectarian divisions. Enraged youths in the mainly Muslim north, stronghold of defeated candidate Muhammadu

Buhari, burned down the homes of any northern leader seen as collaborating with Goodluck Jonathan, the victorious incumbent from the mainly Christian south.

Jonathan, of the ruling People’s Democratic Party, won Saturday’s balloting by a wide margin, taking 57 percent of the votes to 31 percent for Buhari, his nearest rival, according to final results.

The results starkly underscored the sectarian divide: The Daily Trust newspaper’s front page ran a map of the vote with the entire south

colored blue for Jonathan and the north colored red for Buhari, a former military leader.

Jonathan urged an end to violence and called on other politicians to calm their supporters.

The army was deployed to quell the violence, as smoke hung over the northern city of Kano. In the searing heat, young men drenched in sweat rampaged across the city, carrying iron bars, sticks and swords and lighting fires. Schools and businesses closed, churches were burned, and Christians went into hiding.

Crowds mourn slain Syrian protesters McClatchy Newspapers BEIRUT — Thousands of angry mourners poured into the Syrian city of Homs on Monday in a politically charged funeral procession memorializing at least 20 protesters said to have been shot and killed by security forces loyal to President Bashar Assad a day earlier.

The march, described by witnesses and shown in amateur video posted on the Internet, along with smaller protests reported in Damascus, Latakia and Baniyas, were the latest signs that the weeks-long series of protests against the Assad government are not likely to abate

any time soon. The government’s response, meanwhile, indicated that the longtime ruler has no intention of backing down either.

One witness said security forces completely cut off Homs, closing roads in and out of the city as truckloads of plainclothes progovernment militiamen called shabiha arrived to face off against young men who had taken off their shirts to show they were unarmed.

“The people are chanting for freedom and the overthrow of the regime — the regime that oppresses people,” said another Homs witness, who also declined to give his name due to safety concerns.

Obama pledges aid for Calif. coast after tsunami damages harbors

3

McClatchy Newspapers LOS ANGELES — President Barack Obama has made federal disaster aid available to California communities that suffered damage in the March tsunami.

The tsunami caused an estimated $50 million damage, with the harbors in Santa Cruz and Crescent City being hardest hit.

In Santa Barbara, fierce waves turned the harbor into a tidal pool, sweeping away a barge that was used for the city’s commercial fishing operation and nearly destroying a 200-ton crane barge that became unmoored in the tumult. In Ventura, a city sailing dock broke off and at least one boat was lost at sea, authorities said. In Morro Bay, a dock came loose in the waves.

California has already declared a disaster in several coastal counties, and the federal aid would come in addition to that.

“Federal funding is available to the state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis for emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the tsunami wave surge in Del Norte and Santa Cruz counties,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a statement.

Mark Boster/Los Angeles Times/MCT

Officials tried to reassure California on March 14 that the kind of nuclear crisis facing Japan was highly unlikely at the state’s two nuclear power plants. Southern California Edison officials acknowledged the San Onofre nuclear power plant, pictured, was built to withstand a 7.0 quake — not the 8.9 temblor that hit Japan. But quake experts said the chance of a quake that size — and the corresponding tsunami — is highly unlikely.

ALLERGIES continued from page 1 miserable.”

The pollination can cause allergic reactions in people, but allergies are also genetic, Bartels said.

In addition, some residual viruses are from the winter months linger into the spring.

“The viruses themselves can actually destroy the integrity of the mucus membranes and drive more allergic reactions by making you more sensitive,” he said.

Hay fever (allergies) have been bad for the past couple of months, said Dr. Randy Horwitz, who specializes in integrative medicine, allergy and immunology at UMC and is the medical director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine.

“The first recommendation we make sometimes is to shut the windows and use the air conditioning,” Horwitz said. “The challenge is (that) it’s so beautiful out people don’t want to do that.”

Brown recommends that people remove plants from their homes to which they know they are allergic.

People can take over-the-counter antihistamine pills and topical nasal sprays as remedies.

Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec and

Benadryl are common options, Horwitz said.

Kennedy said he takes Advil for cold and sinus problems if it is really bad. Otherwise, he just deals with the symptoms on his own.

“They are very effective, and relatively speaking, very safe,” Bartels said.

Instead of covering up symptoms with decongestants, nasal sprays and antihistamines, people with moderate allergies can get an allergy shot regimine that takes three to five years to complete, Bartels said.

For patients with moderate allergies, it may be the only way to manage long-term hay fever and get off medications, he said. Allergy shots get down to the root source of the problem because they modify the immunologic process. This way, the immune system can produce healthy, protective antibodies instead of allergic antibodies, Bartels said.

For most people, there are overthe-counter antihistamines that can be taken that provide symptomatic relief, he said.

“If you’ve got significant hay fever, that’s going to work the best for you in the long run, no questions asked,” Bartels said.

There are also natural supplements and nasal sprays that people can try if they prefer not to take medications, Horwitz said.

COMETS continued from page 1 in the lab” with samples and studying comets, a field she wasn’t originally poised to enter.

During her undergraduate studies in chemistry at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Berger landed a summer job studying micrometeorites in the lab of one of her professors.

“Here we are looking at rocks who’ve come to earth from space,” she said, as she explained that the types of grains found on the comet were those studied under high temperatures, one feature of why this discovery is so unique.

When the ice melted on the comet Wild 2, minerals were dissolved in the comets then warm water and heightened temperatures created the iron and copper sulfides that Berger and Lauretta observed.

“For the most part, people thought of them (comets) as deep freezers,” Lauretta said, “So this also means that liquid water was also very common in the early solar systems.”

The sulfide materials formed between 50 and 200 degrees Celsius, or 122 and 392 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lauretta said the study started out with the UA’s participation in an international effort to characterize preliminary data from the 2006 return of the Stardust mission.

‘‘

Berger said she owes much of her success to her work in those national labs and here at the UA under the tutelage of Lauretta, as his research history delves both into sulfides and continued support for and utilization of return missions from space.

“We had to keep an open mind in the mix of minerals that we were going to see,” Berger said. “Because this is not anything we could have acquired using a ground mission or remote analysis. We had to reach a comet and return from it safely. … It really emphasizes that we need to continue to push to have sample return missions.”

Lauretta also emphasized the mission’s importance as the diversity of environments that existed on the comet could denote that some of “the organic building blocks of life were delivered to the surface of the Earth from outer space.”

Berger utilized this research in her doctoral thesis and is defending it in September before looking at post-doctoral positions in the field.

“I haven’t even thought about it (not being at the UA),” Berger said. “I’m happy that I was able to do this project and happy that I was able to characterize the minerals within the comet to tell us a story about Wild 2. … X number of years ago we wouldn’t have been able to do this, and now we’re pushing into the nanorealm.”

Ryan Budget places unfair burden on poor Drew Shepherd Arizona Daily Wildcat

L

ast Friday the House of Representatives voted to pass Republican Rep. Paul Ryan’s “Path to Prosperity” budget proposal. This proposal seeks to solve the country’s massive debt problem, ultimately reducing the deficit by a projected $4.4 trillion in the next 10 years. Something must be done about our rising debt, but this plan is based on fantasy and will do little more than place an unfair burden on the poor and middle class.

One of the ways Rep. Ryan hopes to reduce federal spending is by reforming programs like Medicare and Medicaid, which provide health care to the elderly and poor, respectively. Under his plan, Medicare would no longer pay seniors’ medical bills directly, but would instead provide vouchers for individuals to purchase private health insurance. In addition, Medicaid would be pushed onto the states, with the federal government giving grants to the states and eliminating mandates as to how that money would be spent.

While Medicare and Medicaid are not perfect, this plan is not the answer. One of the primary factors of increased spending is the rising cost of health care, yet the Ryan proposal does nothing to address this.

If Medicare is replaced with a voucher system and the cost of health care continues to rise, health insurance would eventually cost more than what the voucher would provide. Rep. Ryan’s plan calls for the voucher’s worth to be adjusted every year for inflation, but recently the cost of health insurance has been rising at a higher rate than inflation.

The Medicaid idea is even worse. Does anyone honestly think that state legislators, faced with their own budget problems, would use all of that federal money for Medicaid? No, most states, especially Arizona, would cut their Medicaid budgets, and this country’s least fortunate would be without health care.

However, the worst part about the Ryan plan is that, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, most of the spending cuts would not go to reducing the deficit, but would instead go to pay for further tax cuts. Under the proposal, the tax rates for the wealthiest individuals and corporations would be reduced by 10 percent. Rep. Ryan mentions that this will be accompanied by the closure of some tax loopholes, but it’s unclear as to whether or not this would be enough to offset the loss of revenue from the tax cuts.

Once again, the Republicans are relying on the debunked myth that cutting taxes actually increases revenues. They seem to forget that the Bush tax cuts helped create this debt crisis and that history has proven this theory to be incorrect.

Does spending need to be cut? Yes, but this is not the way to go about it. All options must be on the table, including tax increases. Reducing the size of government to what it was in the 1920s is not the only option and it hurts the people who need the most help. Does something need to be done about Medicare and Medicaid? Yes, these programs have become way too expensive, but that doesn’t mean they should be privatized or delegated to the states. It means actually doing something to solve the current health care crisis and bringing health care costs down.

The fact is that our country has a debt problem, but if this plan is passed the country’s least fortunate will be affected the most. Kudos to Rep. Ryan for actually presenting a plan that seriously discusses reducing the deficit, but this is certainly not the answer.

Border funding steals from schools

We should no longer trust news that starts with, “a new bill has cleared the Arizona state Legislature and is on its way to Republican Gov. Jan Brewer’s desk.” It’s the sketchiest way to start, especially when you know that Arizona senators need to just retire already.

On Thursday, senators John McCain and Jon Kyl wrote yet another bill that would require the federal government to deploy no fewer than 6,000 National Guard troops to the U.S./Mexico border at a total cost of $6 million. Increased funding would also go to Operation Streamline, which requires a person caught crossing the border to spend six months in prison before deportation.

That cost: $250 million over five years.

Let’s not get carried away with all the other provisions of that bill that add up to over $400 million, according to the Daily Miner.

What the hell, Arizona? I’ll never understand your contradictory values.

Here we have Gov. Brewer running

around dressed like Rosie the Riveter, blaming the federal government for not doing anything. And at home, we have senators like McCain and Kyl who spend more than $500 million of the Arizona “unspent” budget on federal militarization?

Here’s a real issue we can all care about.

According to AZ Central, “Arizona’s perstudent funding declined by $254 from fiscal 2010 to 2011 and is expected to drop next school year.” But we have $335 million for 2012 to increase mobile surveillance systems along the border?

The secret to that is, according to the same article, “Shutting down a school can save $500,000 to more than $1 million a year.”

As we have a governor who sits on the Arizona Department of Education and has yet to pursue any higher education of her own, is it possible to make an educated decision on education? We also have a senator who claims Planned Parenthood spends 90 percent of its funding on abortions and later claimed we weren’t meant to take his statement literally.

For the sake of Arizona’s education system: Make an educated vote in 2012. Because the ones we’re voting for aren’t educated. An educated youth demographic is the only hope we have to fill our universities with capable minds and fill the seats of the Legislature with individuals who will take real things into priority.

Quit trying to flatter the country with the National Guard and give the children an education. I know how you like your military, Arizona, but I’m definitely not impressed.

ou coolly survey the room, clutching your plastic red cup in a sexual power stance. Humming along to Rebecca Black, you lock eyes with a perfect 6.5 from across the party.

Like an alpha lion stalking its prey on the Savannah grasslands you lunge forward, immediately spilling your drink on a large muscular guy. You hide in a linen closet for a few minutes.

When the heat dies down you emerge lion-like again, and make a beeline for the woman. “Did you know that Thomas Hobbes wrote ‘Leviathan?’” you inquire, smoothness dripping from your mouth.

“No,” she confirms, and then walks over to a large muscular guy with beer dripping from his shirt.

A few face-to-fist negotiations later, and you’ve just earned 2.5 academic credits from the UA. At least you would, if we were given the academic recognition we deserve for our valiant adventures in Tucson’s nightlife. It’s about time we got some credit for what we learn while pursing after-hours hedonism, which is usually more useful than half of the stuff we learn in class. It’s quite clear to anyone who’s made the collegiate rounds that most learning in col-

lege comes after the classroom doors are closed. Real-world jobs are based quite superficially on social graces picked up at parties, and, despite your cries to the contrary, you know it to be true.

No matter what uber-nerdy profession you are pursuing in college, if you stay in on weekends and bone up on homework, odds are you’ll be lacking some severely important life lessons. Humility, business negotiations and how to remove a live goldfish from someone’s ear are all skills you can learn in mere minutes at a good college party.

In our vivid scenario, you have experienced American pop culture, Internet globalization, ecosystem predatorial infrastructure, psychology, diplomacy, physical education and you even gave a 30-second presentation based on the information you learned in that Justice and Virtue class.

Overall, you’ve managed to glean or export knowledge tied closely to the subjects given in class, and for extra credit you got punched in the face by Chadley Higgens III from that fraternity you hate.

Think about the last general education class you attended. Do you remember frolicking in a field of purple snapdragons

while Nicolas Cage fired bananas out of a Mexican weed catapult at you? Yes? That’s because you were dreaming, a causality based on the fact that you were asleep.

The only scenario where you would ever attempt to conjure up facts learned in class is when you are at a party, and need to desperately prove to a girl that you are smart enough to sleep with her.

At this crucial moment, you remember the minute you were awake pertaining to Thomas Hobbes’s stance on human morality, and suddenly you are a confident ethics scholar (provided she’s not in the same class). It’s the only time besides mandatory homework where you will speak those words aloud, and should be rewarded by the university with academic credit.

The anatomy class/getting lucky at a party analogy is too easy, and you will not be subjected to it. You’re welcome.

It’s about time we rose up and claimed our rightful educational awards. Based on that night freshman year where I blacked out, stole a park bench and negotiated myself out of an intermarriage fiasco, I should have graduated a year and a half ago, which would have saved me thousands of dollars in tuition and fees. So join me and demand the compensation we deserve. Tomorrow, though, I’m about to earn half a credit by jumping off of this roof into that hot tub filled with goldfish. God bless academia. ­— Johnny McKay is the multimedia editor for the Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

GPSC salutes outstanding students Annual achievement awards go to graduates who innovate, develop

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Graduate and Professional Student Council honored five outstanding graduate and professional students and faculty during its Achievement Awards and Resources Mobilization Event on Friday.

Peers of graduate and professional students and faculty were asked to nominate candidates who they felt best exemplified each category, Fifty-seven individuals were nominated, three times more than last year. Winners in each category received a certificate and $100 from GPSC, and runners-up received a certificate and $50. The categories were outstanding mentor of graduate or professional students, outstanding diversity development by a graduate or professional student, outstanding graduate and professional leadership, outstanding research assistant, and outstanding teaching assistant.

The awards ceremony was the final event in the Graduate and Professional Student

Appreciation Week. GPSC President Emily Connally said that the week was to promote and celebrate the academic, economic and social aims of the graduate and professional students of the UA. Connally also shared the successful transparency initiatives advocated by GPSC, such as the elimination of the Student Recreation Center summer fee and elimination of a co-pay fee for preventative care including diabetes, cervical cancer and screening for sexually transmitted diseases. Connally also cited the success of counseling for alcohol or tobacco use, elimination of a fee for standard immunizations and a parental accommodation package, including six weeks paid leave, for new graduate student mothers or fathers.

Ryan Saxby, the GPSC events director, said that there were three major events for the graduate and professional students this year. Graduate orientation, he said, helped acquaint students with the community during the first week before

classes, and about 700 students attended. The student showcase, which was 100 percent student run, presented graduate and professional student research and awarded about $9,000 to the winners.

The Graduate and Professional Student Appreciation Week had five events, including one focusing on international students, and more than three times the amount of people attended this year in comparison to last, according to Saxby.

RATE continued from page 1 cause of death for all of us under 65,” Alberts said.

Alberts also offered insight into the possibility that Arizona’s cancer rates may actually increase in the future.

“A major reason why Arizona’s cancer rates are lower relates to our larger Hispanic and Native American populations that have relatively low rates of the common cancers,” Alberts said. “Sadly, because of the acculturation of these populations to the Western lifestyle, Arizona’s cancer rates will rise dramatically in the mid 21st century.”

Despite this possibility, Alberts and Bermudez are optimistic that their dedication to research, education and lowering disparities in the treatment of minorities can help Arizona in the long run.

Alberts said that an overall greater effort toward physical health by the population would facilitate a less cancerous Arizona population .

“There must be a much greater effort into reducing tobacco use and excessive alcohol intake, while improving nutrition and increasing physical activity and following guidelines for vaccination,” Alberts said.

Bermudez agreed that there needs to be an increase in overall nutrition and physical activity, but also added that it is important for the younger generation of Arizonans to realize that all of their actions today will affect them in the future.

“Cancer is more of an old-age disease, but at the same time, it is very important to educate teens and young people,” Bermudez said. “Later in your life, you will see the consequences of the behaviors you had as a young adult.”

Prospective student steals from bookstore

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the UofA Bookstore after receiving a call about a shoplifter in custody on April 14 at 12:18 p.m.

Upon arrival, the officer was shown to the conference room by bookstore personnel to meet with the suspected shoplifter.

Staff observed the boy — using security cameras — place a pair of sunglasses into his front left pocket and leave the store without paying.

As security personnel escorted him back into the bookstore, they noticed that he had taken the glasses from his pocket and placed them on a bookshelf to pretend as if he had never taken them.

According to the suspect, he was visiting the UA from Seattle, Wash.

When he entered the bookstore, he told the officer that his intention was to purchase the sunglasses, but instead placed the glasses into his pocket and walked around the bookstore.

After charging his iPod downstairs, he exited the bookstore and “forgot� to pay for the sunglasses.

The officer contacted his father, who soon arrived on scene. The minor was charged for shoplifting and released to the care of his father.

Greek catfight creates paranoia

A female UA student warned UAPD on April 14 about potential retaliation against her property.

She had gotten into a verbal altercation with her sorority sister the previous night at a meeting and, according to the student, she felt that the sister may damage her vehicle.

If anything should happen to her car, she wanted the report to be on file; however, her sister did not threaten her or her vehicle.

She normally keeps her car in the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage but decided to move it to another garage just to be safe.

Sticks and stones may break windows

After returning from class a female UA student found that her car had been broken into on April 14.

A UAPD officer arrived to the Tyndall Avenue Parking Garage at 11:18 a.m., and spoke with the student.

The car in question had a 10-by-5-inch hole in the rear driver ’s side window.

The student said she parked her car on the garage’s fourth floor at 10 a.m., and when she returned it was damaged with a large rock.

However, there was nothing of value in her vehicle and nothing was stolen.

It was obvious that someone rummaged through her glove compartment because of the documents scattered all over the front seat and the front doors of her vehicle had been unlocked.

Her boyfriend threw the rock away and the student reorganized her car before UAPD arrived, leaving behind no evidence.

The officer advised her to call UAPD back in case any additional information arose.

Agricola gets up and walks away

A male UA student in need of an Agricola and German book was arrested for shoplifting on April 14.

At 5:10 p.m., a UAPD officer responded to the UofA Bookstore and spoke with security.

Security observed the student leave the bookstore with the book and confirmed that the student did not purchase the item. “I made a stupid decision,� the student said, as he motioned toward the stolen book on the table of the bookstore conference room.

The officer asked what the stupid decision was and he admitted taking the book without paying for it. The student made no attempt to hide the book and walked out of the store with it in hand.

He did not have money on him, although he could have gotten money from the nearby ATM, so he stole the book.

According to the student, he never intended to steal the book but made a split-second decision.

He was arrested for shoplifting and the officer filled out a Dean of Students Office code of conduct referral.

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

Aaron Elyachar

ASUA safety programming director What do you do to be safe on campus?

One thing I do to be safe is just follow the rules.

Have you broken any rules?

Yeah, I have. I kind of am a bad boy at heart.

The biggest thing I broke a rule for was that I put a license plate sticker on a sign that said “Do not put a sticker here.” You couldn’t take it off and my mom was like, “You broke the law Aaron, you broke the law! You are going to have to pay money.”

How do you feel about girls on motorcycles?

It’s a little intimidating, but if it’s a motor bike chick with all the tattoos, no. But if it’s a good looking chick, like in one of those Go Daddy commercials, they ride up in a motorcycle and just swag their hair all around …

Most exciting thing you have planned after finals?

Travelling around, finding some jobs and recording my music. I’m actually a singer/songwriter.

So one day you’ll probably have 1,000 screaming girls in front of you?

Absolutely. I want to have a bunch of girls. I just wrote a song called “Home to Mother.” I wrote it for my mother and it would be sung today but I think I’m going to play it for her in person when I come home. It’s a song about how she’s always been an inspiration to me.

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

Webcam Wonder: It’s Keenan’s World, for Now ELMHURST, Ill. — It started innocently enough, with a boy hamming it up in front of a computer webcam.

He was doing what teens often do when they stand in front of mirrors: Lip-syncing to a popular song, acting goofy, being himself, as if the world wasn’t watching.

Except, in this case, the world was watching when Keenan Cahill — then an impish 13-year-old with a knack for oddball humor — started posting videos of himself on YouTube.

First, there were hundreds of hits, then thousands, then millions. And

an Internet sensation was born.

“Keenan, what have you done?” his mom asked when a late-night talk show called and wanted to air one of his lip-syncing videos. She wasn’t sure whether to be amused or horrified.

What if people made fun of her son, who has a rare genetic disease that has stunted his growth? What if he’d opened the door to something too big to handle?

For Keenan, though, this was the adventure he’d been waiting for. This was freedom for a young man whose life had, so far, mainly consisted of

spending time at hospitals, when he wasn’t going to school or hanging out in his room.

For him, a vacation was going to Minnesota to a children’s hospital, where he’s had several surgeries on his legs and hips.

Now he gets to travel to places like the Bahamas and France, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Fans crowd around him as if he were a rock star, their cell phones extended to capture photos and video.

FAST FACTS • Sushi presentation evolved as a form of marketing. Food artisans wanted to exemplify the simplicity of food with the beautiful presentation, artful color and decorated dishes.

• Sushi was created in China, not Japan as many believe, in 400 B.C. • Sushi was not originally prepared as a delicacy, but as a form of preserving fish. Salted fish was kept in fermented rice for extended periods of time to preserve the fish and make it portable.

• Many believe that sushi means raw fish. Actually, sushi means vinegarrice. This term is based from the origi-

nal use of fermented rice to store fish.

• It’s considered a taboo in Asian cultures to stick long objects straight up because it resembles the incense used at a funeral.

Summer

Q Is sex consensual if

you are blacked out?

blackout occurs when someone drinks enough that their BAC A. A(blood alcohol concentration) is high enough to impair brain

receptors, blocking the formation of memories. Blackouts are sometimes called alcohol amnesia. It’s not that you forgot what happened; you never formed the memory in the first place. During a blackout, you are awake and may appear to be functioning to your friends. However, the next day you can’t remember what you did the night before. It’s as if your brain was sprayed with non-stick cooking spray and the memories couldn’t “stick.” This is why you might have danced, had fun, played games, had sex, or jumped in the Old Main fountain on Saturday, and remembered none of it on Sunday.

Arizona Revised Statutes state that sexual assault has occurred if a victim was “incapable of consent by reason of mental disorder, mental defect, drugs, alcohol, sleep, or any other similar impairment of cognition.” Sex with a person who is incapacitated is rape. Signs that someone may experience a blackout include drinking too much, drinking more than usual, stumbling, confusion, and lack of awareness of their surroundings. Clearly, if a person has been drinking heavily and their mental state is impaired, or you have doubts about their cognitive ability, it’s not “OK” to have sex with them.

A passed out person is dangerously intoxicated and can be at risk for slipping into a coma. They cannot speak or give consent. If someone has passed out, get medical attention immediately. Having sex with someone who is passed out (unconscious) from drinking excessive amounts of alcohol is rape. Most cases of acquaintance rape involve alcohol use by both the victim and perpetrator.

A helpful way to make sex consensual is to avoid (or limit ) your use of alcohol in potentially intimate situations. Make sure that you and your partner have clear heads.

Then you will never have to wonder if sex was consensual. If you’re going to “get it on,” make it a lasting memory.

A typical six-pack of beer has between 800-900 calories.

Baseball Power Rankings

By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Now that conference play is a month old, the contenders for the Pacific 10 Conference baseball title are starting to be separated from the pretenders. Oregon State has only one conference loss while Washington State and Oregon have only managed two Pac-10 wins, without claiming a series.

Arizona is in the middle of the conference standings, but it will be tough for the Wildcats to climb, having already played three of the four teams ahead of them. Here’s a look at how the Pac-10 is shaping up after four weeks of conference play.

No. 3 Oregon State (27-7, 8-1 Pac-10) Oregon State is just on fire right now and might be the best team in America. The Beavers have been playing with a chip on their shoulders since losing their only Pac-10 game, which was their conference opener at Arizona, 18-0. Since that blowout, OSU has won nine straight while outscoring opponents 65-29.

No. 15 California (23-9, 9-3 Pac-10) A series loss to Arizona has been the only blemish in an otherwise stellar conference slate. Other than losing two of three to the Wildcats, Cal has only lost a Friday matchup with Southern California.

The Bears have swept both of the Washington schools and have a chance to make a statement while hosting ASU this weekend.

No. 9 ASU (25-9, 8-4 Pac-10) The Sun Devils’ only blemishes have come against Arizona on a Friday night (like everyone else so far in conference play), and getting swept by Oregon State. ASU — which

ELMORE continued from page 12 for broken ankles or blown out knees,” he said. “A blown out knee is pretty severe, but a broken ankle? That’s stupid. I had open-heart surgery when I was 18. I just need someone to be willing to fight for me.”

If Cory Elmore’s dream scenario comes true, he’ll play his junior and senior years in Tucson

has struggled on the road — plays at California this weekend in a series that could eliminate one of the schools from the running for the regular-season crown.

No. 20 UCLA (19-12, 9-3 Pac-10) The Bruins have been the second most consistent team in the conference in 2011 behind only OSU. UCLA has won all four of its conference series behind dominant Friday and Saturday pitching, and that trend should continue at Stanford this weekend. Oregon State and UCLA will meet in Los Angeles in two weeks, and that looks like the most likely weekend for OSU to stub its toe.

No. 23 Arizona (23-13, 5-7 Pac-10) Having lost three of four Pac-10 series, Arizona is looking for consistency from the bullpen. The Wildcats are undefeated in conference series openers behind ace Kurt Heyer, but Saturday and Sunday pitching has been erratic. New closer Matt Chaffee has been effective, save for Sunday’s loss at UCLA. But getting him the ball with a lead has also been an issue. Former closer Bryce Bandilla has consecutive solid appearances after struggling with command for most of the spring.

Southern California (15-20, 6-6 Pac-10) Winners of their last two Pac-10 series, the Trojans travel to Washington this weekend. USC needs to take the series from Washington if it wants to make a move in the standings, which would set up a potentially key showdown in Tucson in two weeks, deciding which of the two teams will make a move to the top half of the conference standings.

and finally get to experience what his brother went through.

He never went on a road trip, built camaraderie with his teammates or battled the constant love/ hate relationship with grueling practices — and if he never gets the chance to, he’ll regret it forever.

“If I don’t get this time back I will probably regret this for the rest of my life,” he said. “I will probably regret even getting the heart surgery when potentially that could kill me and I’ll regret that.”

But make no mistake about it, Cory Elmore doesn’t want to simply eat up a roster spot and reap the benefits of being a college athlete. He’s working toward building his own legacy as a Wildcat.

“I don’t just want to be another person in a jersey. I want to stand out wherever I go,” he said. “I don’t want to stand out just because I have long hair. I want to stand out because the quarterback’s on the ground and I’m stopping the run for nega-

Stanford (16-12, 3-6 Pac-10) The Cardinal is battling a currently anemic offense that has scored nine runs in its last five Pac-10 games — a stretch that has seen Stanford go winless. Friday night pitching has been spotty, and teams need to be able to compete consistently on Fridays to make any noise in the conference — especially when the offense isn’t scoring enough runs to take advantage of Sunday pitching.

Washington (10-23, 2-7 Pac-10) The Huskies have been swept in two of their three conference series, with both wins coming in a series win against Oregon. Pitching has kept Washington in almost every game, but its offense isn’t enough of a threat to put up wins.

Oregon (17-16, 2-7 Pac-10) There’s not much to say about Oregon. The Ducks can’t hit well enough to overcome inconsistent pitching, and they’ve found that out the hard way — by not winning a conference series in three tries.

Washington State (14-17, 2-10 Pac-10) Other than winning a slugfest against Stanford and stealing a pitchers’ duel from UCLA, it’s been nothing but bad from the Cougars, who have been swept twice. Expect that number to go up this weekend when WSU travels to Oregon State.

tive yards.”

The motivated defensive end said if he was able to return to Arizona, he’d wear his brother’s former number and play as a Ricky Elmore/Brooks Reed hybrid.

“I’ll wear 44 but I’ll have the Brooks Reed hair,” Cory Elmore said with a laugh. “I’ll have the size and speed of Brooks and the sackmaster ability of Rick.”

A lot has to happen before Cory Elmore can achieve his goal, but considering where he was almost

four years ago, he has much to be proud of as he turns to a new chapter of his life.

“It’s pretty freaky how he’s transformed his body,” Reed said of Cory Elmore, the formerly overweight offensive lineman. “He’s a good athlete too.

I’m sure he didn’t realize until he lost all that weight, but he’s right up there with Ricky (Elmore). It’s brave of him to start playing again given the circumstances.”

Ricky Elmore’s twin brother eyes return to football, UA after major heart surgery derailed career

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Nearly four years ago, Cory Elmore sat in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles as he watched his football career vanish before his eyes.

During a routine checkup, doctors found a hole in his heart, and surgery was the only sensible option for the 6-foot5, 300-pound offensive lineman whose father passed away during Cory Elmore’s childhood due to heart problems.

His life path was thrown off course, and it appeared Cory Elmore — who redshirted his freshman season at Arizona in 2006 — would never play a down of collegiate football in a life that was consumed by the sport.

“I was pretty much kicked out of a sport that I loved, because of something that was out of my control,” said Cory Elmore, the twin brother of former standout Arizona defensive end Ricky Elmore. “It was like a slap in the face.”

But after almost four years away from the game, a bodybuilding stint and endless hours in the gym, the 23-year-old has transformed into a 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive end, working his way toward an improbable return to football.

Cory Elmore’s been cleared to resume football activities and is training with his brother, former Oregon linebacker Casey Matthews, Clay Matthews Sr. and a handful of NFL prospects at Proactive Sports Performance in California.

He said he’s “in the best shape

Cory Elmore, right, practices his pass rush drills as he continues his comeback to playing football. Cory Elmore, the twin brother of former Wildcat and two-time Pacific 10 Conference sack leader Ricky Elmore, was told by doctors that he had a hole in his heart and needed surgery in 2006. Now 6-foot-5 and 275 pounds, Elmore is cleared to make a comeback.

of (his) life,” and it showed at Arizona’s pro day in March.

“He did our pro day and just blew it up,” Ricky Elmore said of his brother after he tried to get noticed as a possible special teams player. “A lot of teams liked him, the only thing he didn’t have was film. The best thing he has going for him is that he can longsnap better than the longsnappers we had at U of A. It’s ridiculous.”

His parents are urging him to make a run at the NFL, and he even came close to signing a few arena league contracts. But Cory Elmore isn’t looking for a minimum contract or a roster spot, he’s yearning for the college football experience that his heart

complications eliminated.

“I’m not chasing money. I want to have the experience of playing college football,” he said. “I just got robbed of that experience.”

The Simi Valley, Calif., native took the first step in his quest to return to college football when he committed to play for Moorpark College, a community college in California, in the fall.

The newly chiseled defensive end has been practicing with Moorpark for weeks and, according to him, is averaging “at least 10 plus sacks” per practice.

But the junior college program is only a pit stop on the way to his ultimate goal — Arizona.

“At pro day I realized I want

“At pro day I realized I want to go back to U of A. If they don’t want me there, that’s going to suck because I bleed red and blue. I’m a Wildcat for the rest of my life. I love Arizona. I realistically think I can put a lot on the table for that school.”

Fowler suffers concussion; future status unknown Pitcher Kenzie Fowler walks off the field with an ice pack on her head after getting hit with a foul ball in Arizona’s 6-1 win over Washington on Sunday at Hillenbrand Stadium.

Fowler, who is 21-6 so far this season, suffered a concussion, and head coach Mike Candrea is unsure of when she will be able to return.

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Sophomore pitcher Kenzie Fowler suffered a concussion on Sunday after being struck on the right side of her forehead by a foul ball during Arizona’s 6-1 victory against the Washington Huskies.

Fowler was taken to University Medical Center and was released Sunday evening.

There is no scheduled timetable for her return to the field according to a release from Arizona Athletics.

“It’s day by day,” said head coach Mike Candrea on Monday. “She’ll be evaluated daily, and when she’s healthy and able to go, they’ll let her. Until then, they’ll take precautions.”

Candrea did not say if Fowler would throw against ASU this weekend.

When the foul ball off the bat of designated player Nicole Bryan hit Fowler in the bottom of the third inning on Sunday, left fielder Brittany Lastrapes said Fowler took a moment to react.

“It was almost like she was looking down and didn’t even know she got hit,” said Lastrapes who was standing on the cement block in the Arizona dugout when the foul ball hit Fowler. “She sits down in the corner and reads the scouting reports and stuff so I don’t think she even knew she got hit with the ball for the second.”

The foul ball flew just over the top of the chain link fence that other Wildcat players were leaning on and zeroed in on Arizona’s ace.

Fowler (21-6) left Hillenbrand Stadium with an icepack covering her face, and was taken to the Arizona clubhouse. She pitched three innings and had not given up a hit in the contest.

Bryan said that the freak accident shook her mentally through her at-bat.

“I saw a couple of girls clear out and then I saw Kenzie sitting on the bench. And then I saw it hit her head,” Bryan said. “It was really hard for me to get that out of my mind to try to get back into my at-bat after taking down our pitcher.”

Freshman pitcher Shelby Babcock will most likely throw throughout the weekend, but

Arizona doesn’t have any other pitchers on its roster.

Candrea went as far to say that Babcock’s viable backups would be first baseman Baillie Kirker or left fielder Brittany Lastrapes, neither of whom have ever pitched in their collegiate careers.

Babcock picked up two wins during the weekend, improving her record to 16-2.

She pitched four innings of relief for the Wildcats after Fowler went down with the

to go back to U of A,” he said. “If they don’t want me there, that’s going to suck because I bleed red and blue. I’m a Wildcat for the rest of my life. I love Arizona. I realistically think I can put a lot on the table for that school.”

He said he found out about two weeks ago that there’s a bylaw saying if a player misses more than two years of competition due to an incapacitating injury, that player is eligible to regain those years of eligibility if he appeals.

Because of the severity of his injury, he’s confident he can recapture two years of eligibility.

injury and was successful at keeping the Huskies off the board until the seventh inning when she gave up three hits and one run.

While Candrea said he was impressed with her ability to perform on short notice, he said Babcock needed to focus on closing out innings.

“I just wish she’d learn not to make things interesting,” Candrea said. “I told her I’m going to blow a vein one of these days.”

Arizona hosts a three game series with ASU starting on Thursday at 7 p.m.

Two UA runners earn Pac-10 honors ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona men’s and women’s track and field teams earned two more awards this week.

Freshman Lawi Lalang was named the Pacific 10 Conference men’s Track Athlete of the Week and Brigetta Barrett won the Pac-10 women’s Field Athlete of the Week.

Barrett leaped to 1.90m in the high jump during the weekend at the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut, Calif. That measurement, a season high, gave her the top mark among all women high jumpers in the NCAA so far this season.

Lalang’s weekend was equally impressive, finishing the 5,000m race in just 13:34.62 — the third fastest time in Wildcat history.

Several other Wildcats also had impressive finishes at the Relays.

A pair of senior runners for the women’s team set career best times. Christina Rodgers finished the 800m dash in 2:03.93, coming within a second of the school record. LaTisha Holden’s 13.28-second finish in the 100m hurdles was the fourth-best finish in Wildcat history. Holden later set another top-10 mark in school history when she, Tamara Pridgett and Germe Poston finished the 4x100m in 45.11 seconds.

On the men’s side, Edgar Rivera-Morales finished with a 2.28m jump in the men’s high jump event, a career best. Fellow Wildcat Nick Ross finished right behind him with a jump of 2.20m.
