High school to higher ed

FIJI unites following brother’s death

UA outreach programs encourage enrollment in science, mathematics fields

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA will expand its programs that introduce students to college-level science and engineering while still in high school for next year.

The College of Engineering offers engineering 102 in 14 high schools as part of a science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM, initiative.

The program will add six more schools for a total of 20 in the fall with a new, specialized program offered in two Yuma high schools.

The programs aim to introduce students to these subjects with the hope that they will choose to pursue the fields in college. The engineering 102 course is a prerequisite for engineering majors and provides students with three UA credits that are also transferable to ASU and NAU. A partnership between the UA and Arizona Western College

will introduce expanded STEM Academies in Yuma this fall to high schools already teaching the engineering class. Students can take general education courses at Arizona Western College and specialized UA courses in subjects such as computer science, business and agriculture and plant sciences on their high school campuses.

“We’re trying to push those students who are ahead,” said Tanya Hodges, UA academic programs coordinator in Yuma.

Students qualify for the academy by taking the same math placement exam as UA students.

More than 160 students are eligible so far, Hodges said.

The academy will help prepare students for fields that are in-demand in Yuma, Hodges said. She said the city is especially lacking people with degrees in finance, accounting, computer science, medicine and agriculture.

Oral sex linked to cancer

By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Oral sex can lead to oral cancer — especially in men.

Human papillomavirus spread through oral sex has outranked tobacco use and heavy drinking as the lead cause of oral cancers, according to a study presented during an American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in February. The study found that the HPV virus is the leading cause of 64 percent of oral cancers and is most common in men.

Nearly 37,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with oral cancer and 8,000 die from it every year, according to the Oral Cancer Foundation.

Men are twice as likely to develop oral cancer as women.

The dangers of oral sex come from exposure to HPV, a sexually transmitted virus comprised of more than 70 different strains, according to Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of UA Health Promotion and Preventive Services. About half of sexually active people are exposed to HPV at some point, which can result in genital warts or lead to various types of cancer.

The study, led by Ohio State University researcher Maura Gillison, found oral cancers caused by HPV may affect people at younger ages than those due to other factors. Risk increased with the number of partners on which someone had performed oral sex.

The research could change the perception that the effects of HPV are riskiest for women because the virus is strongly linked to cervical cancer.

Lee Ann Hamilton, the assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services, illustrates how the human papillomavirus can be spread through oral sex in her office on April 13. A recent study found that HPV spread through oral sex is the number one cause of oral cancers, surpassing alcohol and tobacco.

Campaigns for the vaccine Gardasil urge women to become “one less” woman with HPV and may contribute to the view, Hamilton said.

Gardasil protects people against four strands of cervical cancer, including the strand linked to oral cancer, according to Hamilton. Campus Health Service regularly vaccinates women against HPV but only

“a handful of men,” she said.

“The first man who called and asked about it, I said ‘Yes!’” Hamilton said. “Most men think ‘I don’t need to worry about this because I don’t have a cervix.’”

Eric Bevans, a freshman majoring in philosophy, politics, economics and law, said he had generally heard about HPV in the context of women’s health.

“I just haven’t thought of it as that big of a threat to me,” he said.

Bevans said hearing about the link between oral sex and oral cancer made him consider receiving the vaccination.

“That’s shocking,” he said.

Gillison cited changing sexual behavior as a possible reason for the increase in oral cancer attributed to HPV in the study. Oral sex may be viewed as safer than intercourse, according to Hamilton.

“I don’t think people understand they can get infections from oral sex,” she said. “People seem to think about risk coming from genital to genital (contact).

Oral sex does have risks.”

People are especially at risk for spreading HPV because the virus oftentimes does not show symptoms, according to Andrew Abalos, a graduate student in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health who is doing dissertation work on the prevalence and development of HPV in men and women.

Genital warts can appear several weeks or months after exposure while most cancers do not develop for many years.

Some people who have HPV never show signs of infection, Abalos said.

“The virus is able to evade the immune system and trick the body into thinking nothing’s wrong,” he said. “HPV has the ability to hide.”

Hamilton said vaccination can prevent the spread of HPV. She also suggested people use condoms or dental dams during oral sex or intercourse to protect themselves from exposure.

“They’re not just protecting themselves,” she said.

“They’re protecting all of their partners.”

Department increases research focus

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The number of UA math majors has doubled in the last six years.

This increase coincides with the tenure of William Velez, who became head of the Undergraduate Math Majors Advising Center within the UA department of mathematics in 2004.

There are now more than 600 math majors and another 600 minors.

The center has received many national awards, including the latest, the 2011 AMS Award for an Exemplary Program or Achievement in a Mathematics Department from the American Mathematical Society.

“One of the goals that we have set is for students to feel like mathematicians by the time they graduated,” said Velez, who’s been a faculty member since 1977. “We want to give students an opportunity to research, to teach and, of course, lots of our math majors work as tutors. So, I think many of our students have learned mathematics, have applied mathematics, have taught mathematics.”

Saudi charged with bombing Gas prices change driving habits McClatchy Tribune

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration started proceedings for its first Guantanamo Bay military tribunal Wednesday, charging Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Saudi, as the mastermind in the bombing of the USS Cole.

While prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty, a conviction is not certain because Nashiri was repeatedly subjected by U.S. interrogators to techniques widely considered to be torture.

According to the CIA, the onetime top al-Qaida lieutenant was held for four years at an undisclosed “black site” where interrogators water boarded him, placed a handgun beside his head and fired up an electric power drill.

They also threatened to harm his family.

McClatchy Tribune

Adrin Snider/Newport News Daily Press/MCT

Families, friends and survivors of the USS Cole attack gathered on Oct. 12, 2010 at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia for the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attack that killed 17 of the ship’s crew while it was docked in Yemen.

Red alert: Color-coded threat scale is tossed McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — After years of ridicule on late night TV, the Department of Homeland Security is replacing color-coded terrorist threat alerts with public warnings that are more black and white.

Officials said Wednesday that they are scrapping the five-color system, which was created in the frantic months after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, because the alerts typically said little about the supposed threat or what authorities were doing to lower the danger.

Most importantly, studies showed that the public paid little heed to the much-mocked warnings. The level never dropped below “elevated,” and had not changed since 2006.

Starting April 26, written alerts will warn the public of an “elevat-

ed” threat or a more specific “imminent” threat. The bulletins will include details about a potential attack and steps that members of the public or law enforcement can take to help reduce the risk.

The color alerts have “faded in utility,” said Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland security, “except for late-night comics.”

In February, for example, Conan O’Brien unveiled a five-tiered Nicholas Cage Terror Alert System on his TBS show, “Conan.”

Whether the new National Terrorism Advisory System will get any more respect remains to be seen.

“Any alert system is only as good as the intelligence that goes into it,” said Frank Cilluffo, a former homeland security adviser to President George W. Bush.

“This is an imperfect business,” Cilluffo said. “Risk com-

munications is more of an art than a science.”

Giving out too much information could spread panic or tip off a terrorist cell that it has been infiltrated, said Rick Nelson, a homeland security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank.

“The government will always be struggling with how much information to give without having a negative effect,” he said.

Homeland security officials will disseminate the new alerts through the press and social media sites.

The bulletins will ask local police and the public to be on the lookout for vehicles or behavior that may be part of a terrorist plot that the government is tracking. Alerts could be directed at airports or subways, or may urge people in a specific city to take shelter in their homes for a short time.

WASHINGTON — American drivers are changing their driving habits because of rising gasoline prices, according to a new McClatchy Newspapers-Marist poll released Wednesday.

They blame violence in the Middle East or oil companies for the sticker shock at the gas pump, the poll found.

Few blame the government — though there’s confusion about President Barack Obama’s policy toward Libya.

“Americans have certainly noticed the gas prices, and most drivers are saying they’re changing their driving habits.

This is an issue that strikes close to home,” said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion at Marist College, which conducted the nationwide poll from April 10-14.

“There’s plenty of blame to go around,” he said.

Drivers said by 55-45 percent they’re changing their habits as gas tops $4 a gallon in many parts of the country. Most likely to drive less? Those making less than $50,000 a year, who said so by 65-35 percent.

Least likely? College graduates, by 59-41 percent, and those making more than $50,000 annually, by 56-44 percent.

Drivers split their blame, with 36 percent pointing at the Middle East and 33 percent blaming oil companies. Only 11 percent blame Obama and Democrats, while 6 percent blame congressional Republicans.

On Libya, by 57-42 percent, Americans said they don’t have a clear idea of what the U.S. is doing there. The clearest dividing line was income, with those making less than $50,000 a year unclear by 68-30 percent, and those

making more than that clear about U.S. goals by 54-46 percent.

“The Libya situation still needs a clearer definition,” Miringoff said. “In the short run, he (Obama) has some convincing to do. In the long run, if we remain involved in Libya without a clearer definition of the goals, it’s hard to imagine that people won’t start asking more questions. There’s not a deep reservoir of support for the policies.”

Physiology students rally for answers, due process

By Eliza Molk Arizona Daily Wildcat Physiology students rallied outside of the Administration building Wednesday to address Nick Delamere’s tenure nonrenewal as physiology department head.

His job was terminated for reasons unbeknownst to the students and faculty in the department.

Stephanie Zankman, a physiology senior, was a student organizer of the rally. She explained that the situation concerned her because, while the university is intended to be a transparent institution where ideas are openly exchanged, the decisions regarding the physiology department have been made and kept behind closed doors.

Department heads are appointed year-to-year by the college’s dean, and Delamere has been reappointed every year since 2006. Every five years, department heads are given a mandated five-year review, and notice of Delamere’s nonrenewal as department head occurred immediately prior to this review.

“The fact that Dr. Delamere’s expected five year review process was bypassed, without an explanation, does not seem so

Students rallied in front of the Administration building on Wednesday to protest the nonrenewal of the physiology department head.

transparent,” Zankman said.

The issue was originally brought to the Faculty Senate

by Timothy Secomb, a physiology professor and member of the Senate, stating that it “disrespected, disenfranchised and destabilized” the department of physi-

ology. Secomb explained that he, and other physiology faculty members, felt this violated the Memorandum of Understanding on Shared Governance because the decision was made without consulting the physiology faculty at large.

In addition, Zankman said she and her fellow students felt the issues facing the physiology department could extend to the entire campus. If such a circumstance could befall the physiology department, she said, it is not unreasonable to imagine that other departments on campus could be faced with a similar situation.

Chelsea Cook, a pre-physiology freshman and one of the protestors at the rally, said that Delamere deserves a just reason as to why he will no longer be the department head of physiology.

“It’s unethical that faculty members are disposable after five years of excellent service,” she said.

Cook explained that a possible reason for Delamere’s nonrenewal as department head could be because of rumors that physiology may leave the College of Medicine and join the College of Science. The problem with that, she said, is that physiology class-

es are designed around medicine and diseases, and those are key elements for individuals who choose the major.

Allie Finch, a pre-physiology sophomore and another protestor at the rally, called the situation “shady” and said that she felt that Delamere was treated unfairly.

“This could have been done to anyone,” she said. “They (those who made the decision to end Delamere’s term prior to his review) think they are above the law.”

About 30 to 40 students held signs supporting Delamere throughout the hour-long rally, according to Zankman. The rally was 100 percent student run, planned and organized, and the event was publicized on Facebook for the public to attend. Those who attended in support were asked to sign a petition asking for due process and rationale from the university administration.

Zankman added that she and her peers had such a “phenomenal experience” and as physiology students they cannot “just sit idly by” in this situation.

“You enjoy your major so much that you don’t think twice if it will be there the next day,” she said. “It’s disheartening.”

ASUA candidate non-endorsements

A

ssuming there isn’t a second catastrophe of Elections Code violations, checks and court hearings, the UA student body will finally get an ASUA president. This time around, the Daily Wildcat is not going to suggest who you should vote for in today’s special presidential election.

We’ve already seen how that movie ends, and it’s not a happy ending.

However, when the results of the undoubtedly few votes are tallied tonight, we hope that someone both qualified and trustworthy will head the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. If you vote today, we hope you give it some thought:

James Allen

Previous candidate James Allen won the Daily Wildcat’s endorsement in the original election with his convincing enthusiasm for getting work done. Who knew that Allen’s best work would be a spree of questionable code violations and showing up to his ASUA Supreme Court hearing with a bona fide lawyer? While all of this provided plenty of entertainment, it’s not a reason to trust him again.

Racism by any other name still smells as nasty

Daniel Hernandez

After the longest appeals process ever, Hernandez proclaimed himself the “only legitimate candidate” on Facebook. That’s arguable, obviously. ASUA Supreme Court may have overturned just enough of Hernandez’s violation checks to re-qualify him, but that doesn’t negate the ones that were upheld. Neither Allen nor Hernandez ever demonstrated a willingness to acknowledge the fact that they may have screwed up. Way to let down some 3,000 voters, not to mention all the other students who just don’t care enough.

Jesse Gunsch

Sort of the Tea Party candidate of ASUA, Gunsch is also the only one with a surprising platform. “The way tuition is jumping, the way fees continue to go up …

I think that is hitting home to most students right now,” Gunsch said in an interview with the Wildcat. Gunsch’s anti-spending platform revolves around demanding a student vote on all fees and changing the way clubs are funded. We’re skeptical about his dedication to ASUA, partially because he’s the only candidate not dressed in a suit and tie in his online candidate portrait, and also because we’ve never heard of him before, but his platform is a refreshing take on student government.

Robert Rosinski

Rosinski was the dark horse in the ASUA Senate race, but we were rooting for him. Despite his failed senate run, Rosinski continues to push his real-life experiences as a military veteran, smallbusiness owner and family man. It’s hard for most of ASUA’s constituents to relate to those experiences, but they do offer a unique and realistic perspective.

With ideas like on-campus child care for students and faculty and restructuring the ASUA budget, Rosinski could be a viable candidate.

Myles Tacher

At press time, his candidate statement was “Not yet submitted.” Nice. We actually don’t know much about this guy, except that if you vote for him, a “new regime” will begin, according to his “Myles Tacher for ASUA PRESIDENT!” Facebook event.

In his interview with the Wildcat, Tacher said ASUA is an “oil well of knowledge, and we’re barely tapping into that.” We’re not so sure of his skill with metaphors, but we appreciate the recognition that, “even without ASUA, you’d still have a student body.”

It’s funny that Allen’s and Hernandez’s candidate statements both begin with a proclamation of how excited they are to be running to be “YOUR” ASUA president.

“YOUR” president should have to earn “YOUR” vote. Allen and Hernandez have not, and newcomers Gunsch, Rosinski and Tacher require careful consideration.

Remember that, regardless of how you vote (if you vote), you’re a constituent, and you deserve to come first on your president’s list of priorities.

arilyn Davenport might just be one of those older ladies who indiscriminately forwards emails she thinks are funny or cute to everyone she knows. Maybe that’s her excuse — poor forwarding etiquette — for the heinously racist image the 74-year-old Orange County Republican Central Committee member sent to fellow Republicans last week.

The email depicts President Barack Obama’s face, framed by outsized monkey ears, on a chimp’s body. He is sitting on the lap of a chimp dressed as a woman, presumably meant to be his mother, with a father chimp behind her. The email included the message “Now you know why — no birth certificate!”

Though Davenport’s action is among the more stupid “jokes” made by so-called birthers — people who dispute Obama’s citizenship and the veracity of his birth certificate — it’s not as though thinly veiled racism within the movement is anything new.

What’s shocking about the crazy birther conspiracy theories is that they’ve managed to become so mainstream.

First, let’s clear a few things up: Obama is an American citizen. He was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and an American mother.

The certificate of live birth he has released

to the public, which people are freaking out about because it’s a “certified copy” and apparently looks fake, is real. He’s not a British subject, as one of the wonkier birther theories goes, and he’s not a Kenyan.

So why has the birther movement gained so much traction? After all, Donald Trump’s probably phony presidential run only gained traction when he boarded the birther bandwagon. Now he’s leading the Republican primary polls. And Trump is no idiot — he knows the correlation between his sudden affinity for questioning Obama’s birth certificate and his sudden Tea Party popularity.

Although the Tea Party and its ilk cry foul whenever the charge is brought against them, the birther nonsense seems fundamentally about race. Maybe not in a strictly “you hate the president because he’s black” way — that’s an overly simplistic reading of complicated birther ethics.

But it is about the fact that the president doesn’t look like other presidents. His past — from a complicated home life to years spent abroad — isn’t like that of other presidents. His family doesn’t look like the first families the overwhelmingly upper-middleclass Tea Partiers are used to. And as uncomfortable as they are admitting it, this difference, this “other”-ness, makes them uneasy.

Little letters from

So rather than engage in the down-anddirty fact of their own racism, or at least their own racial discomfort, they created the birther myth. It taps into a host of American insecurities, including illegal immigration and the CIA movie myth of foreign agents infiltrating our government.

The birther nonsense has gained traction because, though it’s never admitted, many non-whacko Americans harbor fears and prejudices associated with race. It’s a problem we don’t like to talk about anymore, but it hasn’t gone away.

The most important role of the crazy birther mythology is to give its adherents permission to judge, fear and hate the president because he doesn’t look like them. Even the most despised liberal leader, so long as he is white and male, isn’t subjected to this kind of nonsense. With Obama, birtherism and all its offshoots are just excuses for a deep-seated and repulsive racism.

So maybe Davenport, with her photoshopped chimpanzee president, deserves a little credit. At least that image directly addresses the racism inherent in the birther movement, rather than trying to obfuscate it with inane arguments about constitutionality and what “certificate of live birth” means. At least letting on that you associate the president with an age-old, horrendously offensive racial epithet is honest.

If that’s the only comfort in this situation, it’s a cold comfort indeed.

Dear people in the library: Please stop talking. If you want to talk about what you did last night or what you plan to do this weekend, go back to your sorority house. If you are here by yourself, good for you and your selfdiscipline but stop taking up all the damn tables. You do not need a whole stinking table for your one backpack full of shit. Get a desk or get out.

Dear UA: Why does it have to be so cold in every building, especially the library? Just because it’s warming up outside does not mean you need to compensate by jacking down the air to fifty degrees. Maybe we can save some energy, or at least decrease the university’s carbon footprint, by keeping the air at a temperature above freezing.

Dear inventor of high heels: I don’t know who you are, but I hate you. Because of you, I have to look like an idiot, stumbling around trying to look cute in shoes I can barely stand in, let alone walk in. I know, I know — the choice to wear them is mine, but flats aren’t on the same level of cuteness as heels. So alas, I must endure long nights of feigning confidence even though I know I look as awkward as a newborn giraffe learning to walk.

Dear relationships: You suck. Why do you have to be so complicated? Is that a line from an Avril Lavigne song? If so, she speaks the truth. There is no reason to spend countless hours trying to figure you out. What happened to the days of checking “yes” or “no”? I could surely use the simplicity.

Dear carbs: Can you stop being so tasty?

I would prefer if you tasted like seafood or plastic bottle vodka. Instead you taste like heaven on earth, and I can’t seem to get enough of you. No matter how hard I try, there’s always a box of mac and cheese tempting me, or cookies lurking in the pantry. Please stop tormenting me.

I would like to look good in a bathing suit this summer.

Dear classmates: I do not know why you find it necessary to sit on an end seat when you know that other people have to sit in the same aisle, but I find it quite rude and distracting. I understand that the aisle seat offers more freedom, but unless you’re big and tall, you don’t need the extra room.

It is quite annoying when the professor is trying to start class and people walking in late have to squeeze past you in order to find a seat.

Dear smokers on campus: You disgust me. You are all college students, so if there’s one thing you should have learned by now it is that smoking is bad. Secondhand smoke is worse, so stop forcing me to breathe it in as I walk behind you to get to my next class.

Dear black combat boots: Why are you making a comeback? Why were you ever considered fashionable in the first place?

I think you’re terrible and you really do not flatter anyone’s legs. Go back to the military … or wherever you came from.

Dear spring semester: Slow down a little bit. It is impossible to stop and smell the roses when there are papers to be written and only a week and a half left of classes.

Perhaps we can squeeze in another spring break? Or at least a surprise holiday?

I would do anything to put an end to these daily library dates. With weather like this, classes should be taught outside and previously assigned work should be replaced with one assignment — to soak up the sun.

Dear laughter: I need more of you these days; can you come back into my life? I do not care if it is via YouTube videos of 5-year-olds proclaiming to put their career ahead of love, or if it is at my own expense.

Either way, find your way back to me. My abs could use the workout and my heart could use the cheer.

The UA engineering course was introduced to Arizona high schools to achieve similar goals, according to Meghan AlbertPowell, coordinator for engineering 102 in high schools. The program was piloted at Hamilton High School in Chandler in 2008.

“One of the main questions that came about is that high schools have recruiters for athletics,” Albert-Powell said. “Why not recruit students who are stars in academics?”

Of the 78 students in the program last year, 36 came to the UA and 26 entered the College of Engineering, according to Albert-Powell.

He said that passion for mathematics can affect the futures of the students that he advises in the center. The center resides on the second floor of the mathematics building, with some blackboards, tables and chairs.

“Mathematics changed my life and I think that it can change the lives of our students,” Velez said.

“I want to try and convince our students that mathematics is important to their future. I’m fortunate that I’ve been given this opportunity (with the center) to allow me to do this.”

The math center began 20 years ago, originally headed by Department Head Bill McCallum.

“It helps give them a more handson experience. It helps them make that decision earlier.”

The class includes the same content as the one offered on the UA campus but is a year long and is taught by high school teachers.

Students pay about $375 for tuition and receive CatCards and access to university services, AlbertPowell said.

Mark Calhoun, who teaches the course at Sabino High School, contacted the College of Engineering about incorporating the class into his three-year engineering program. He said students learn about engineering first-hand in the class through completing Lego robotics and trebuchet projects.

“The projects just get a little more complex,” Calhoun said. “(Students) really have a solid foundation in problem solving

and what engineering is.”

Calhoun is in his second year of teaching the course and said 85 to 90 percent of students who complete it pursue engineering in college. The class also takes a trip to the UA College of Engineering every year.

“I see a lot of (former students) in the departments when we do a tour the following year,” Calhoun said.

Sabino High School junior Ashley Rix is a student in Calhoun’s class and said she may attend the UA after graduation.

Rix said she had a previous interest in engineering but did not know about the various types.

She said class projects helped her choose optical engineering as a potential major.

“I really didn’t know about it until Mr. Calhoun’s class,” Rix said. “It was actually after our research project that I first found out.”

math majors is due to the personal effort of Bill Velez and has just done an incredible job with the math center,” McCallum said. “He interviews tons of students every year, he calls them up, brings them into their office, encourages them to take more math.”

But he and Velez said that recent success is indicative of the researchintensive program the department boasts and the way in which the faculty take a special interest in students and their success.

“It’s one of the things that has always attracted me to this program,” McCallum said. “There’s a culture of integration of research and education. We are, I think, a department that really provides a sense of the excitement of mathematics.”

Velez said the interdisciplinary methodology of the university’s mission supports the department.

It’s the “all-purpose mathematics

department,” he said.

But McCallum said that shrinking budgetary concerns are something he considered but doesn’t dwell on. The department supports the center monetarily and will continue to.

“I don’t worry too much about the future because there’s not much point,” McCallum said.

“We’re just riding the wave along with everyone else, the tsunami really.”

The department will continue to work on its community outreach efforts, training K-12 students to take more advantage of their outreach programs and their teachers, in induction services, to survive their first two years of teaching.

“The next big leap for us is looking at all the things we do (and) really sort of inform the community about all that work,” McCallum said.

ASUA approves vote counters

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ASUA approved at its Wednesday Senate meeting the list of names allowed in the room when the special election results are tabulated.

The same group approved for the March 9 general election will help count ballots for the special election to determine the next Associated Students of the University of Arizona president on April 21.

Ballots are counted electronically with the UA Information Technology Systems administrative computing software.

Also, ASUA President Emily Fritze said she thinks people are warming up to the idea of moving Spring Fling back to campus.

It’s becoming more of a reality for people, Fritze said, as people have been asking her not if it is coming back but when.

Fritze also said ASUA has already received some angry phone calls about the potential move.

“I see that as a good thing,” Fritze said.

Brian Seastone, a UAPD commander and honorary ASUA senator, took some time to reflect

on ASUA’s accomplishments in its second to last meeting of the school year.

“The senate this year has really taken on some good issues, not only for the students but for the university as well,” Seastone said. “You have been a great group to work with, and every year it feels like I have another set of friends and another set of kids.”

He urged students to continue to stay involved after the end of their term.

Two bikes, one trespasser

A non-UA affiliated man was warned for trespassing on April 17.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was patrolling near the Arizona-Sonora Residence Halls when he noticed a man riding a bicycle and towing a second bicycle by his side.

After seeing the second bike, the officer began to question the man in front of the dorm.

Shortly after speaking with him, the man began yelling, “I need some witnesses! This cop is harassing me!”

When he refused to identify himself, the officer called for backup.

Once additional officers arrived on the scene, the man identified himself and began yelling at the other officers.

He refused to get off his bike and waved his arms in a threatening manner.

The man was then handcuffed and sat on a nearby bench.

He first told the officers that he was a UA student.

Shortly thereafter, he retracted his claim and admitted to being a student at Pima Community College.

He also claimed to be working at the anthropology lab under a professor.

A check with UAPD dispatch showed that the man was not a student or employee of UA or even a student at Pima.

The officer decided to warn him for trespassing and ordered him to leave the area.

An officer took photos of the bikes and the man. He then released the man from the handcuffs and gave him the bicycles.

The photos were placed into UAPD property as evidence.

Father informs police of missing son’s whereabouts

A male UA student vanished for two days on April 15.

UAPD was contacted on April 17 about the student’s disappearance, and an officer was dispatched to Villa del Puente Residence Hall at 2:10 p.m.

Upon arrival, the officer met with the resident assistant who escorted him to the student’s room.

The officer attempted to contact the student via telephone, but did not reach him.

The officer knocked on the door, to no effect, and then requested entry into the room.

The RA was able to open the door with permission from the community director.

No evidence in the room was found as to the student’s whereabouts.

After searching the room, the officer contacted the student’s roommate.

The roommate said that the student had vomited blood and was going to the University Medical Center for evaluation.

He also said that the student’s mother was with him.

The roommate mentioned that it was strange that he hadn’t seen or heard from his roommate because they usually spoke daily.

The officer then contacted the student’s girlfriend, who also said that she hadn’t heard from him since April 14.

According to the girlfriend, they had broken up on April 10 but got back together on April 13.

She and the student’s father both told police that it was unusual for him to not contact them.

The student’s father hadn’t heard from him since April 15, and although his mother works in Tucson, she had not taken him to the UMC. Four hours after the officer investigated at the dorm, another officer responded to the room to see if the student had returned.

The student’s roommate told the officer that he had received a text message from the student saying that he was OK. At 7:45 p.m., the officer heard from the student’s father who said that his son was all right and further action was not required.

At 7:57 p.m., the attempt to locate broadcast to UAPD was deleted.

The Dean of Students Office was also informed that the student was fine.

Professor shaken by friend request

A UA professor reported a suspicious friend request to UAPD on April 17.

Although he did not feel threatened by the request, he felt that the event being hosted on campus, on April 20, could be at risk.

In the request, the stranger mentioned that he would attend an event on the UA Mall for a reading of the “Iliad.”

According to the professor, the person in question had posts with quotes from the film “American Psycho,” like “I am the god of hell fire” and “I want to watch the world burn.”

These posts were the professor’s only cause for concern.

Bound to top the charts how advocating sexual victimization in pop music is selling records

COMMENTARY BY Kellie Mejdrich

P

Arts writer

op tunes are powerful symbols of our culture. They pump their infectious beats into the ears of most of the nation.

Whether you get in a car, hit up the laundromat, or head to a popular bar, you’ll be sure to hear the top 40.

When I drive to work, I often flip on pop radio so I don’t look like an idiot when people are talking about Rihanna’s new hit single. But something makes me nervous about the Top 40 lately. There’s something underneath those sensual, rhythmic, studio-clean beats. And it smells a lot like gender domination.

I thought we’d gotten past this!

In 1963 Betty Friedan wrote “The Feminine Mystique” and shocked the world with her portrait of the psychotically depressed “happy housewife heroine,” forced into domestic submission with the aid of the popular retail market. It drove women to action, rebellion and allout revolution.

Now women approach the idea of sex differently. And it shows in artistic expression. Masked behind sexual liberation, the top two songs on the Billboard Top 40 have freakishly violent undertones. And they’re sung by two of the most popular female artists in the U.S.

Katy Perry’s ‘ET’

T

he singer of “I Kissed a Girl” introduced a freaky futuristic song to No. 1 on the charts. I get it; it’s alien-themed. But lyrics like “take me, wanna be a victim, ready

for abduction”? Does anyone think, “Oh, that is about alien abduction.

It’s so great to be a victim”? Other lyrics like “infect me with your love and fill me with your poison” take the woman-victim metaphor even further. Masked in futurebabble, these lyrics are actually quite distressing. Then there’s Kanye West’s rape-y rap: “See, I abducted you / I tell you what to do.”

I like to think creative expression communicates directly with what’s going on socially in a culture. If that’s true, why is Katy Perry glorifying sexual abduction? Why is violent language so hot?

Rihanna’s ‘S&M’

R

ihanna is a powerful vocalist with a hugely successful career. And her new single “S&M” could be, arguably, a sexually liberating song about indulging in whatever turns you on. Rihanna definitely beats a bunch of guys in her kinky video. In fact, there’s victimization all around. She’s tied up. She straps duct tape over a terrified woman’s face. All the while, she sings, “Sticks and stones may break my bones / But chains and whips excite me.”

Translation: I don’t like being beaten physically. But when sex gets involved? Engaging in sexual violence is hot. Go ahead and hit me then. I enjoy pain and pleasure.

Rihanna is promoting sexual violence on a level that not only garners a huge audience, but encompasses a massive age demographic. It wouldn’t be No. 1 on the pop charts this week if society didn’t respond positively to it.

I am by no means rejecting or criticizing people who participate in S&M. The issue here is that Rihanna is normalizingsexuallyviolentbehavior through a medium that doesn’t give

time, education or information about the issue. It sensationalizes a sexual fetish for the purpose of being edgy.

And many of the people who listen to this song are younger than the legal age of consent.

The typical club audience listening to “S&M” isn’t critically analyzing Rihanna’s claim about her sexual preferences. They’re hearing a catchy beat, dancing and singing along. But they’re simultaneously accepting and normalizing sexual violence in a way that they may or may not fully understand. have this vision of women getting funky in the club. These songs come on … and nothing changes. The dancing continues. But everyone is suddenly engaging with music that has all the studio savvy of

I

any of today’s top 40 hits, and lyrics that advocate victimization in sexual relationships.

I’m not calling for censorship — that has never and will never do anything. I’m calling attention to something I find frightening in the new age of women’s liberation.

Women are free to have sex, talk about sex, sing about sex. But in an age where everyone’s being flooded with sexual media every day, how do they make it edgier?

They push it to the limit by looking backwards: they’re tantalizing listeners with the domination of women through sex.

Reverse feminism? You could call it that. But in an age where women have sex when they want to, it’s so much edgier to sing about being

forced to have sex.

And that’s a scary thought, one that centers around the fact that while women have a newfound power to sexually define themselves however they choose. It’s tragic that they’re reverting to a classic symbol of victimization.

I urge people to reject this kind of language’s popularity. But more so, I urge all women to remember people like Betty Friedan who worked so hard to allow us our freedom. Don’t play into the power structure of female submission and victimization that our fore-mothers fought to reject.

It’s easy and quickly powerful, but it’s self-mutilating. Before we know it, we could be dancing to that pop music all the way back to a domestic prison.

Earlier this month, a memorial service was held at the fraternity house, and around 350 students attended.

Steven Otero, the president of the Interfraternity Council, said that the council would continue to offer its support to the chapter leadership in these difficult times.

He added that the council recommend the community donate to the Wilson Forrester Memorial Fund.

“Everybody just realized it happened for a reason, and it’s been a reality check for so many different people,” he said. “It was God’s hands at work, and we all understand that.”

Riley explained that his fraternity received a wealth of support from many different sororities and fraternities on campus, including letters, flowers, cards, pictures and cookies.

The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity does not know what the cause of death was and the investigation is still ongoing, according to Riley.

Blood-inspired perfume piques vampire curiosity A new blood-inspired perfume may soon have an ideal group of early adopters: vampires.

Last week, a pair of Italian entrepreneurs, Antonio Zuddas and Giovanni Castelli, debuted Blood Concept, a provocative fragrance line based on the four major human blood types: A, B, AB and O. While the line forgoes incorporating actual blood, the Italian duo nonetheless claim that each scent is evocative of the blood type it represents.

“Blood Concept is just a celebration of human life through

Women’s golf primed for NCAAs

’Cats confidence at all-time high after strong recent play

By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat After what head coach Laura Ianello called the most impressive performance of the season, the No. 7 Arizona women’s golf team is flying high into next month’s NCAA Regional Championships.

Arizona finished second in last weekend’s Pacific 10 Conference Golf Championship, held at ASU’s Karsten Golf Course — placing ahead of No. 3 UCLA and falling five strokes short of No. 1 Southern California.

“We hadn’t played well as a team, and it was beating up our confidence a little bit,” Ianello said. “This week was so important because it proved to the girls they can beat those teams from California. Some people might think they seem invincible, but that’s crap. We’re just as good as them, if not better, when we play well.”

Though Ianello called the second-place finish “gut wrenching,” she was pleased to see the team finally live up to its potential.

“They wanted to win and knew they could if they played well,” she said. “We did play well but fell a little short to USC. Second place is not a horrible finish. Our conference is loaded. Really out of all 10 teams, five can win every week.”

Pac-10 Championship Top-5 Southern California E Arizona +5 UCLA +9 California +16 Stanford +20

Ianello had been telling her team how good they had the potential to be all season, but she said that it’s hard for them to believe her until they see results on

the course.

“I’ve told them that they’re the team that should win each week, because they are that good,” Ianello said. “I think they can say that they believe it, but I think now, finally, they’re starting to realize just how good they are. You can have someone tell you how great you are, but until you see it yourself, you’re not going to believe it.”

Junior Isabelle Boineau has been Arizona’s most consistent performer throughout the year, but sophomore Kyndall Ardoin, who shot a 1-over-par 217, impressed Ianello during the weekend.

“As a sophomore not having a lot of college experience, she’s really stepped up her game and improved,” Ianello said.

Arizona will learn this week what region it will be in for the NCAA Regional Championships, which run May 5 through 7.

Tiberio leads Arizona club rugby

By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona club rugby team, led by senior Peter Tiberio, has had an up and down season.

The Wildcats are 8-4 but have lost three of the last four games and are ranked No. 12 in the nation in the new College Premier Division and 14th in Rugby Magazine’s current poll.

“So far it’s been a bit disappointing,” said Tiberio, the senior captain and arguably the best player on the roster. “(The three-game losing streak,) it’s been tough and it has taken a toll on us. We are glad to be where we are, but at the same time we are wishing we had a few less losses and be in playoff contention.”

Head coach Dave Sitton isn’t as frustrated with the season as Tiberio.

“We had a rash of injuries.

We had one guy leave to go play for the United States, and during that period of time we lost three matches,” Sitton said. “Two of the three matches were to top-five teams in the country, so all in all it has been a pretty good year.”

Sitton was referring to Tiberio, who left the team for four games for the national team.

“That was amazing. It was probably the coolest thing I have ever done in my entire life,” Tiberio said. “Being able to play, one to represent my country and then two being able to do it in a sport I love.

“On top of all that, one of the tournaments I got to go to was in Hong Kong, which is probably one of the most famous rugby tournaments in the whole world. Playing in front of close to 45,000 people is something I will never forget.”

Being the most talented guy on the roster brings some unforeseen disadvantages for Tiberio. He admitted that it does add pressure for him to perform at a high level when all of his teammates are looking toward him.

“Sometimes I feel like I need to do much,” Tiberio said. “My coach does a real good job of telling me to slow down, but it definitely puts pressure on me to perform day in and day out, not just in games, but in practice, too.”

Fellow senior Mike Getzler raves about Tiberio to family

Senior Peter Tiberio, left, has established himself as a talented rugby player throughout his career as a Wildcat. The captain took a hiatus from Arizona this season to play with the U.S. National team, and the 8-4 Wildcats lost three straight without him.

and friends for his talents on and off the field.

“Playing with him on the field, I can’t tell you how much more comfortable and confident that I feel,” Getzler said.

“I feel like we play off each other so well just because we have been playing together for so long. He has such a higher knowledge of the game that

even I find myself listening to his coaching advice quite a bit.”

The Wildcats are looking to finish out their season with another winning streak as they will have their captain back on the field. The Wildcats will face off against Colorado this Saturday and Air Force next weekend.

decision anyway.

“I think it was the best opportunity for me and my family to leave this year,” Williams said. “If you’re top-5, there’s really no reason to go back.”

The Decision

The road ahead

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sophomore Derrick Williams recently announced he will leave Arizona for the NBA Draft. The forward told the media on Wednesday that while he is “not LeBron (James)” he believes he will be a good player at the next level.

The consensus? Top-5 lock, and you’ve got to go.

He played the entire postseason and then-some with a broken pinky, a blessing in disguise that Williams thought helped his draft stock despite the team keeping it under wraps until Wednesday.

After the injury, Williams initially told coaches he’d be out. But on game-day, he realized he wanted to be on the hardwood with his teammates.

continued from page 16 an Olympian, of course. Barrett recently talked to the Arizona Daily Wildcat about her season, her singing and her future.

WILLIAMS With a strong connection to his mother and head coach Sean Miller, whose team would surely be on the brink of an NCAA championship if he returned, Williams had two meaningful voices in his head when making the decision to go to the NBA. In the end, though, he took a few weeks to make his own decision — nobody made it for him. Those within his circle only helped weigh the pros and cons of it all.

“The cons of coming back, nobody wants to think about getting hurt,” Williams said. “It crossed my mind at some point. But that’s not the main focus.”

On the plus side of returning to Arizona, there was the gravity of a potential national championship.

Potential, though, is a risky road to go down, Williams said.

He pointed to the very team Arizona beat in the Sweet 16 for proof. Duke seniors Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith returned to chase after an NCAA title only to be knocked out by Williams and the Wildcats.

“I think that everybody wants to win a national championship, but it’s not guaranteed,” Williams said. “If it was guaranteed, if I knew 12 months from now we’d win a national championship, of course I’d stay.”

Former Wildcats also had their share of input. Williams said he spoke numerous times with Walton and took great weight in listening to former NBA player and Suns general manager Steve Kerr.

It was widely agreed that Williams was a top-5 pick, averaging nearly 20 points and eight rebounds during his sophomore season.

BARRETT

“If I would have just cracked it half an inch lower, I would have had to have surgery,” Williams said. “If I had to sit out, I’d sit out, but I didn’t want to sit out for no reason.”

You know what happened thereafter.

And when the season ended, sure-fire lottery picks like Perry Jones III of Baylor and Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger returned to college. Despite a likely NBA lockout, Williams made the

No matter where the ping-pong balls may fall, Williams will be happy just to be in the NBA. Fulfilling a promise to his mother, he’s still enrolled in school to finish out this semester. Over the course of future NBA offseasons, Williams will work to earn his degree.

In the upcoming months, Williams will choose an agent, continue to work out and likely wait in the midst of an NBA lockout.

Though he doesn’t expect it to go the entirety of the season, Williams said he’ll even return to UA for classes if a prolonged lockout shows no end in sight.

Whenever he makes his NBA debut, Williams doesn’t really care what position he plays, nor the numbers that he produces.

“I’m not LeBron (James), I’m not J.R. Smith. But I can jump; I can shoot,” Williams said. “I can do basically everything a good player can do.”

He doesn’t have any grand expectations, either. It’s the same attitude he came to Arizona holding onto — just play ball, and it’ll work itself out. Though a couple million dollars could go quickly, Williams knows where he’ll put his first few paychecks.

He’ll give it back to whom he owes much of his success, the woman who gave him a level head and a strong work ethic.

“I’ll probably say a car,” he said, adding, “My mom doesn’t want to move, (so I’ll) fix up the house.

Whatever she wants in it, she can have. I owe her a lot.”

Daily Wildcat: Why theater arts?

Brigetta Barrett: My ultimate dream is to be an entertainer. I love to sing and I’m always singing. I love to act, I love dancing, I write poetry, and I’m just in love with all aspects of entertainment.

Between jumping and theater, which one do you have a greater passion for?

I find it really hard to make a decision between two huge passions, so I don’t have a preference.

I’m a firm believer that everyone can reach all dreams of theirs, and I plan to do both.

Do you have a 10-year-plan?

My master plan in a perfect world is that I would go to the 2012 Olympics, do great, get signed and then use my status as an Olympic athlete to help me with agents and auditions and getting out there.

You’ve really thought this out. Why do you need to be an Olympian first?

Going into the acting world as a nobody, well, not a nobody, but unknown in that world, is hard.

My thought or theory is that by being an athlete, having an agent and having a gateway into athletic modeling, it would also make it easier for me to get auditions for singing and acting.

Which actors and actresses would you love to work with?

Definitely Denzel Washington.

He’s a great inspiration. I love Meryl Streep, too.

Do you consider the high jump pit your stage?

It’s kind of my personal stage, but not for the audience. It’s my stage for having fun and being me so that I can compete. If it stops being fun, I don’t want to do it anymore. It’s funny, because in high school when I was being recruited, one of the coaches that called me said, ‘It’s so much fun to watch you,’ and I had never thought about it from the audience’s point of view. I just enjoy jumping. The coach told me it was fun to watch me because I’m always singing.

Does the singing help you focus?

That’s how I calm my nerves, I sing and I dance, and I make the other competitors laugh. It gets people’s minds off the fact that they are competing, so they can actually PR (personal record).

Like Nike says, “Just do it.” When you do it and have fun with it and really enjoy it, that’s when you do your best.

In what other ways does your theatrical side influence your athletic career?

Some of my favorite words of wisdom that my coach first said to me were, “Find another passion.”

He was talking about how athletics can be destructive if the athlete is only an athlete. If one thing is your life and that one thing is not going well, then your life’s not going well. But for me, I can write a poem or sing my way through a bad meet or practice. I do experience the sorrows of not having a great meet or having a horrible practice, but it all gets better when I sing and write.

Fischer tears ACL, will miss start of season

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Saturday’s offensive prowess in the spring game on Saturday was dampened by the tearing of Jake Fischer ’s ACL .

Fischer, a two-year strongside linebacker and an Oro Valley, Ariz. , native, is

expected to miss the beginning of the season due to potential surgery, which Arizona announced Wednesday.

He was carted off the field at Arizona Stadium with an icepack on his knee. He collided with offensive tackle Fabbians Ebbele with less than three minutes left in the

scrimmage. “It’ll be disappointing if it’s significant,� head coach Mike Stoops said on Saturday. “That’ll be another major blow for us.�

He finished with 58 tackles — 7.5 tackles for loss — two sacks and a fumble recovery in 2010.

BASEBALL continued from page 16

Fischer is the third Wildcat to go down with an ACL injury this spring. Running back Greg Nwoko and safety Adam Hall were injured earlier in the spring.

Arizona finished spring practice on Saturday and will open training camp during the first week of August.

said that he only wants two things. “Doubles and homeruns,� Lopez joked. “If they get a base hit they just slow us up. “I tell them, ‘We ain’t gonna steal with you, we ain’t gonna hit and run.’ It doesn’t do them any good to get a base hit.�

While the power numbers haven’t been there for Bandy this year, he still maintains the same mindset at the plate. “Early in the count I’m really looking to drive something, definitely put one off the wall, hit one out of here, or go double off the wall or something like that,� Bandy said. “That’s definitely my mentality. I’m a three hitter.

That’s what I have to do.

Up next

The Arizona baseball team will start its weekend series a day early due to Easter Sunday this weekend.

The Wildcats will fly north to take on Oregon for a three-game series.

After dropping last weekend’s series to UCLA, Arizona hopes it can get back on track against the struggling Ducks (19-16, 2-7 Pacific 10 Conference). “A sense of urgency is definitely coming up a little bit,� said outfielder Robert Refsnyder. “We know we have to pick it up. We need to compete a little bit better than we have been. Two out of three is the goal, and a sweep is really the ultimate goal.�

Sophomore Kurt Heyer (6-1, 1.74 ERA) will take on Oregon’s Tyler Anderson (5-1, 1.149 ERA).

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig stripped Dodgers owner Frank McCourt of financial control of the club Wednesday, saying he would appoint a trustee to oversee the team’s business affairs while investigating the “operations and finances of the Dodgers and related entities.�

Selig intervened after McCourt required a $30 million loan from Fox last week in order to meet the team’s first payroll of the season.

Selig said he would identify the trustee “in the next several days.�

McCourt has been under financial pressure since at least 2009, when he was rebuffed in at least three attempts to gain additional financing, according to court documents filed in his divorce case.

Season ticket sales have fallen from 27,000 in 2007 to just more than 17,000 this season, according to court documents and baseball sources.

The divorce remains unresolved, and Selig has neither approved nor rejected a proposed 20-year television contract with Fox that McCourt presented as a long-term solution to settle the divorce, manage the Dodgers’ debts and improve the team and the stadium.

The Dodgers had more than $430 million in long-term debt as of 2009, according to court records.

Gary Toebben, the president and CEO of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, said he thinks the takeover may be for the best, given the franchise’s recent troubles. “This has been like watching a soap opera unfold,� he said. “We want a financially solvent Dodgers. We want a winning team. “The Dodgers are part of the heart and soul of the community,� he continued, noting that the team brings in money to Los Angeles in hotels, restaurant and advertising dollars.

The worst-case scenario, he said, would be the Dodgers leaving Los Angeles. “Franchises move in Major League

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt required a $30-million loan from Fox last week in order to meet the team’s first payroll of the season. On Wednesday, Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig stripped McCourt of financial control of the team.

Baseball,� he said. “But I would expect that with the history of the Dodgers in this community, they will stay.�

The big question, he said, “Is who will own that franchise and which direction will they take it?�

He said he had not heard of any parties interested in taking over the team.

Jamie McCourt, Frank McCourt’s former wife, released the following statement Wednesday afternoon: “As the 50 percent owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, I welcome and support the Commissioner’s actions to provide the necessary transparency, guidance and direction for the franchise and for Dodgers fans everywhere.�

Selig’s complete statement: “Pursuant to my authority as Commissioner, I informed Los Angeles

Dodgers owner Frank McCourt today that I will appoint a representative to oversee all aspects of the business and the day-to-day operations of the Club. I have taken this action because of my deep concerns regarding the finances and operations of the Dodgers and to protect the best interests of the Club, its great fans and all of Major League Baseball.

My office will continue its thorough investigation into the operations and finances of the Dodgers and related entities during the period of Mr. McCourt’s ownership. I will announce the name of my representative in the next several days. The Dodgers have been one of the most prestigious franchises in all of sports, and we owe it to their legion of loyal fans to ensure that this club is being operated properly now and will be guided appropriately in the future.�

The Arizona softball team will host in-state rival ASU tonight as the two teams open up a three-game series.

The Sun Devils, ranked No. 2 in the nation, have been a force at the dish this season. Their team batting average of .359, on-base percentage of .453, 412 hits and 333 RBIs lead the Pacific 10 Conference.

ASU (39-5, 6-3 Pac-10) can play a little defense, too. The Sun Devils lead the Pac-10 with a 1.74 ERA and a .981 fielding percentage.

Pitcher Dallas Escobedo (19-3) and her 1.50 ERA will likely start in the circle opposite Arizona freshman Shelby Babcock. The Wildcats’ ace Kenzie Fowler is still day-to-day with a concussion she suffered on Sunday when she was struck in the head by a foul ball.

First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Hillenbrand Stadium. The series will continue on Friday night at 7 and conclude on Saturday at 1 p.m.

SPORTS Growing up COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer

Only 19-years-old, Arizona forward Derrick Williams, a soon-to-be top-5 NBA Draft pick, realizes his days of being a kid are now behind him.

He knows he’s going to miss it. College will always be the best time in his life, former Wildcat and current Lakers forward Luke Walton told the sophomore while he was making his decision to enter the NBA Draft.

“I believe him,” Williams said Wednesday at his final collegiate press conference.

Still, it’s on to the professional ranks.

The 6-foot-8, 240 pound sophomore leaves Arizona at the end of a crossroads, being the most-pointed-at reason to why the Wildcats returned to national prominence following a half-decade of mediocrity.

And already, Williams knows his lifestyle is changing.

He’ll turn 20-years-old next month but already has bounced between his home in La Mirada, Calif., to work out and Tucson to finish up the semester. Meanwhile, he’s still in the decision-making process of hiring an agent.

In a journey that he couldn’t have

almost remorsefully. “That’s what I like most, my personal space. It just comes with it. If you’re a professional athlete, you just got to deal with it.”

Admittedly, Williams is an introvert of sorts.

Those Dr. Dre songs and frequent phone number changes during the past season kept him away from all the “Are you going league?” questions from his peers, Williams said.

Music, among other things, kept him away from the negative distractions, and Williams never lost sight of his past, where some called him a borderline Division-I prospect.

“That’s the reason I played so well,” he said. “I didn’t have anybody on the outside world trying to talk to me, trying to convince me to do this or do that.”

It’s part of a maturing process that Williams says kept him indoors instead of going out with his college friends when he shouldn’t, humble instead of getting caught up in the hoopla of being a player of the year candidate in the NCAA. “I don’t think I’ve changed at all,” Williams added. “I’m the same person I was when I did Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat Sophomore forward Derrick Williams’ intensity and focus have propelled him from an my first interview.

Using track as her stage

By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Brigetta Barrett puts triple threats to shame. She can sing, dance, act and write poetry.

Oh, and at 20 years old, she’s an internationally known high jumper.

A sophomore on the No. 9 Arizona women’s track and field team, Barrett has nationally set the bar for her fellow collegiate high jumpers — literally. Recently at the Elite Invite, she jumped 1.90 meters, which is currently the best in the nation for women’s outdoor track and field.

Also, her height is currently tied for the best jump in the world for the 2011 outdoor season.

Barrett’s outdoor success isn’t too surprising considering she took home the NCAA Indoor title in March. For Barrett’s indoor season, her highest mark doubled as her personal record of 1.92 meters.

When looking at Barrett’s jumping credentials, many might assume it’s what she was born to do. But with her future degree in theater arts, Barrett has other plans in mind—after she becomes BARRETT, page 14

Bandy’s back As Pacific 10 Conference play continues, the Arizona catcher has found his swing again

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For Arizona catcher Jett Bandy, the start of the 2011 season wasn’t quite what he was expecting.

After finishing last year hitting a .354 clip, second highest on the team, the junior preseason AllAmerican and All-Pac-10 team selection was hoping to jump out and lead the charge for the No. 23 Arizona baseball team.

Unfortunately for him, that didn’t happen.

“He had a tough start,” said head coach Andy Lopez. “As we all know

in baseball, sometimes when you have a tough start, it’s hard to get it back on track.”

But now, thanks to a relaxed mentality, Bandy is resurfacing as a key player on both the offensive and defensive side for the Wildcats in the middle of conference play, and it couldn’t be coming at a better time.

“I think he’s now who he has been the last couple of years,” Lopez said.

“He gets big hits. You go look at his resume the past couple of years, man, he gets big hits.”

Perhaps Bandy’s biggest hit of the season came on April 8, when the Wildcats had come back from

a 4-2 deficit to tie the game at 4 in the bottom of the ninth against the California Golden Bears, Bandy hit a walk-off single that scored Bobby Rinard from second base.

“You just love being in those at bats,” Bandy said. “(I tell myself) you’re just the lucky one to be in the spot at that time and don’t let it go to waste.”

Although Bandy’s .287 batting average trails what he finished with last season, the improvement he’s shown is enough for Lopez to keep the faith.

Junior catcher Jett Bandy answered the preseason hype with a slow start. However, the preseason All-American has found his stroke of late, and his clutch hits have helped keep the Arizona baseball team afloat in the difficult Pacific 10 Conference season.
