The UA is trying to change the way it organizes science, technology, engineering and mathematics education activities across campus through the UA STEM Learning Center.
The purpose of the STEM Learning Center, which will launch in two weeks, is to coordinate the STEM education efforts already happening across the campus, said Bruce Johnson, interim director for the center and professor and department head of teaching, learning and sociocultural studies in the College of Education. There is currently no easy way to organize all these efforts.
“We want to serve that function and be the one-stop shop to gain access,” Johnson said. “We are trying to better coordinate the projects that are here, make them more accessible to people, and target them to where the people most need it.”
Elliot Cheu, associate dean of the College of Science and professor of physics, was key in pushing for the STEM Learning Center. The UA is ideally situated to lead the endeavor, Cheu said.
“I think it’s important that the university is front and center on producing the STEM Learning Center because we have lots of resources and we have a lot of expertise on educating people in the STEM field,” Cheu said. “Of course, one of the things we want to do is to encourage people to come to the university for their educational pursuits. I think the community looks to the university for leadership and education, and so that’s kind of why we’re really going to be perfectly positioned to do this.”
The STEM Learning Center public launch will take place at the Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on April 12. At the launch, members
Regents to vote on tuition, fees The Arizona Board of Regents will hold a
public meeting today at 9:30 a.m. in the North Ballroom and Catalina Room to set the base tuition and mandatory fees for the 2013-14 academic year.
Although the board members will hear comments from the general public regarding items listed on their agenda, they will not be discussing tuition or fees, since they already held a public tuition hearing last Wednesday .
However, there will likely be a lot of discussion regarding the subject among board members, according to Chairman Rick Myers .
“At this point, I think the board, you know, has had many emails from people, and we had the public session the other night, and now it’s a chance for the presidents to one last time put their recommendations on the table,” Myers said. “The regents will discuss it and then I anticipate the regents will vote on all the proposals.”
From 2008 to 2012, education and general expenditures decreased by 8.8 percent, said Sarah Harper, a spokeswoman for the board of regents , during a press briefing on Tuesday.
During this same period, enrollment has increased 17 percent, by 23,000 students — the equivalent of adding another Northern Arizona University to the state, Harper said.
However, when looking at peer institutions across the nation, tuition for Arizona universities ranges from 10 to 20 percent less than for others, Harper added.
“We see that as an indicator of the universities really increasing their efficiencies,” Harper said. “Looking for other revenue streams and being able to reduce their expenditures has allowed them also to keep the tuition prices — increases — at what they are.”
Myers said that although he believes the presidents and universities have tried to be as efficient as possible, tuition cannot keep rising.
“We have to look at getting more support again from the state, look at other sources
of revenue, so that we can do everything we can to make the universities as accessible as they can be for everyone,” Myers said. “That includes the fees, that includes the housing … the total expenses that students see as they want to attend the universities.”
The board of regents will also set the rates for the residence halls at all three Arizona universities, leased apartments for the UA and meal plans for Arizona State University and NAU.
Myers said he anticipates the meeting to be more efficient today than it has been in prior years, since the board of regents held a public Business and Finance Committee meeting

LULULEMON, A COMPANY THAT SELLS YOGA AND RUNNING CLOTHES, hosts a yoga event on the UA Mall on Wednesday night to pro-mote its business within Tucson and to celebrate the role yoga plays in a community. Lululemon will be opening its new store at La Encantada on April 19.
When Jonathan Sprinkle was young, he invented his own crossword puzzles and convinced his dad to make copies of them at work .
For Sprinkle, now an assistant professor in the UA Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, inventing those crossword puzzles led him to realize that he had the ingenuity he needed to pursue his current career.
Now, one of the main projects Sprinkle is working on is an autonomous car that can drive itself.
“The root of the inspiration for any problem that I work on as an engineer is to have societal impact,” Sprinkle said. “I want to do something not just because it’s cool, but because it could have a multiplier effect in society.”
Sprinkle is working with graduate students to enable the car to perform tasks by itself.
Among the students on the team is Sean Whitsitt , an electrical and computer engineering graduate student who works to ensure that the car rejects unsafe commands .
Whitsitt said that safety is one of the biggest priorities in the research he has worked on. The ultimate goal is to ensure the car would be safe even if a child were in control of it.
Though the team has yet to let the car drive on the streets by itself, they have tested it out in empty parking lots.
“Sitting in the car when it starts driving itself, you see the wheel take over and start spinning on its own,” Whitsitt said. “It’s kind of eerie.”
Sprinkle recently won a National Science Foundation Career Award . The award recognizes strength in research and teaching and will award Sprinkle a grant of $460,000 over the next five years to support his research .
However, Jeff Goldberg , dean
of the College of Engineering , said the grant money isn’t the most important thing when it comes to Sprinkle’s work.
“When I think about engineering, engineers help people,” Goldberg said. “That’s the most important thing for me. It’s not just the amount of money you get, it’s the kind of work you’re doing and how it impacts the rest of society.”
Goldberg said that Sprinkle’s research on autonomous cars
could have a huge impact on the future.
“Thirty years from now you and I won’t be driving,” Goldberg said. “The work that he does allows people to think about, ‘How do you make cars drive themselves?’”
It could allow for safer cars, fewer deaths and accidents on the road and more efficient transportation, Goldberg said.
“Plus, driving is a huge waste of

In sports, you play to win. Quad rugby is no different.
Flying across the court, smashing into opponents and yelling signals to one another, the members of the UA co-ed team convert what seems like chaos into elegant strategy. They play at a demanding pace despite having little to no use of their legs and limited use of their hands and arms.
“It’s like a violent game of chess,” said Eric Baker, a communication junior on the team.
Quad rugby, also known as wheelchair rugby or murderball, is played on a regulation basketball court. The object is to carry a ball between a pair of cones positioned on each end line.
This seemingly simple setup leads to a complex, rough-and-tumble game. Competitors are constantly colliding in their modified wheelchairs, and injuries
are not uncommon.“There’s a lot of bruises and bumps,
smashed fingers, people falling over,” said team captain Chelsea Falnes, a special education sophomore. “It’s quite a sight.”
Bruises notwithstanding, the team had a relatively unblemished season and will play for a national title this weekend in Louisville, Ky.
Falnes, who suffers from an undiagnosed condition that causes her skeleton and muscles to progressively weaken, said she’s excited that the team gets to vie for a national championship.
“I’m very proud of them,” said head coach Bryan Barten. “They’re a very dedicated group, and this is their reward.”
The team is sponsored by the Adaptive Athletics program, a component of the Disability Resource Center that aims to give disabled students the opportunity to compete in a variety of sports. The largest program of its kind in the country, Adaptive Athletics sponsors wheelchair basketball, tennis and track, among other
sports, Barten said.On the court and off, the quad rugby
team is a close-knit group.“Our team really is a family,” said Allison
Cardwell, a pre-law sophomore. The team frequently spends time together outside of the game, which strengthens their chemistry on the court, she said.
Baker also spoke highly of the team dynamic. He said that most of the players are from other states so that when they came to the UA, they all shared the uneasy feeling of being in a new place, along with their disabilities.
“You feel all alone,” he said, “but then the team becomes a support structure. It’s comforting.”
Baker was paralyzed during his senior year in high school after diving into a swimming pool and hitting his head on the bottom. However, his injury doesn’t bring him down.
“I can’t complain because it brought me here, to this university and to the team,” Baker said. “I love it here.”
This Saturday, students will host a preview event for Zonathon, the UA’s first-ever dance marathon, scheduled to take place this November.
The 12-hour marathon will raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network by encouraging volunteers to support this “life-changing organization,” said Kaylee Stepanski, a neuroscience and cognitive science freshman and president of Zonathon.
A full day of games, activities and entertainment is being coordinated to support families in need. Stepanski said the Zonathon committee members want to make sure that everyone is informed and excited about the marathon, so they are holding an informational event this Saturday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the North Gym of the Student Recreation Center.
“We are really new, so no one knows what it is yet,” Stepanski said. “Some people are like, ‘We can’t dance,’ but you don’t really have to dance. [The event] is about standing on your feet for those who can’t.”
Theresa Delaney, a communications and studio art junior and the public relations chair for Zonathon, said she and her co-organizers are aiming to explain the mission of the event at Saturday’s preview and give people the opportunity to meet the executive board and the families that will be represented from the Tucson Medical Center.
The preview will feature a dance collaboration performed by Wilbur and Wilma Wildcat and the UA’s hip hop crew Black N’ Blue. There will also be various activities led by the Zonathon committees, including face painting and a bean bag toss.
Three families who benefit from the services of the Children’s Miracle Network will also be attending to tell their personal stories, making
for “an inspirational and touching experience,” Stepanski said.
The Children’s Miracle Network is “an international nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for, and awareness of, children’s hospitals across the country … 100 percent of the money raised will stay in the local community to support its own children’s hospital, which means Tucson Medical Center receives all of the funds raised in Southern Arizona,” according to the Tucson Medical Center website.
Tracey Smalling said she knows firsthand how organizations like this one can change lives. Her family received support from fundraising events like Zonathon when her son, Brandon, was born 16 weeks premature, she said in an email statement.
“Zonathon means more than you can imagine to my family,” Smalling said. “The lifesaving equipment which kept Brandon alive for many weeks of his life was purchased with dollars from Children’s Miracle Network. It is very exciting to have Zonathon at the University of Arizona. Students will have an opportunity to have fun while making miracles happen at the same time.”
However, the UA is not the only university striving to make a difference in lives of children. In February, Arizona State University hosted its first dance marathon, attracting 837 participants to raise money for the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Stepanski said ASU’s success affected her expectations for the UA event.
“It is really encouraging knowing that they had that many students show up,” Stepanski said. “It is really cool because it is their first year, and our first year, so it is another rivalry between our two schools. We can be like, ‘Hey, they brought this many dancers, can we bring more than that?’ or ‘Hey, they raised this much money, can we raise more than that?’”
Part of the job of Zonathon’s morale captains is to ask questions like these to excite students and motivate them to get involved.
Furthermore, at dance marathons at universities all across America, it’s traditional for captains to create a morale dance, five to six minutes of original choreography that they then teach to dancers at the event, said Sierrane Gatela, a Zonathon morale captain and freshman studying pre-neuroscience and pre-cognitive science and French.
“Since our event is a preview, we want [those who attend] to witness some of the big aspects of the full marathon,” Gatela said. “We are going to give everyone a taste of the energy of
the morale group to inspire the audience to get involved. Morale is basically the energy that keeps the marathon going.”
Although the Zonathon committee is planning lots of entertainment for a fun-filled day, Delaney said the heart and purpose of Zonathon is to help out families in need.
“It is for kids from the Tucson Medical Center,” Delaney said. “I think everyone would agree that they are worth the time and energy. They are real people and you can really understand the struggle that they’ve gone through. We want them to have the most positive experience that they can, and Zonathon is one way to help them do that.”

last Friday. At the meeting, individual regents were able to ask university presidents questions regarding their proposals. The board was also able to spend more time looking over the proposals in detail.
“We hope they support our tuition request,” said Andrew Comrie, provost and senior vice president for Academic Affairs. “We have support from ASUA [Associated Students of the University of Arizona] and GPSC [Graduate and Professional Student Council]. Katy [Murray] and Zach [Brooks] both got their organizations to vote in it, so that’s encouraging too.”
At 12:15 p.m., the board will convene in executive session in the Tucson Room in the Student Union Memorial Center to discuss items on the agenda and conduct a review of assignments with UA President Ann Weaver Hart. The board will then reconvene in the North Ballroom and Catalina Room at 2:15 p.m. to continue hearing items on the agenda.
Morgan Abraham, president-elect for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said he plans to attend the meeting today.
“As far as the 3 percent increase, it seems everyone I’m talking to, myself included, are on board for that,” Abraham said. “It sucks that we have to swallow it, but it’s not as bad as it could be, and I think it is necessary to make sure the U of A keeps its prestige level.”

of the community and university, including Tucson Mayor Jonathan Rothschild and Provost Andrew Comrie, will speak about the importance of STEM education. The advisory board for the STEM Learning Center and staff members will also be introduced at the event.
The advisory board will be made up of people across various colleges at the UA as well as people involved in local businesses, STEM industries, community organizations and the K-12 school system.
The center will also include working groups focused on four priority areas: Building partnerships between the community and the UA; expanding STEM teacher recruitment, retention and development; supporting pre-kindergarten to college STEM education pathways; and conducting STEM education research
and evaluations. The working groups will made up equally of people from the UA and people from the community and local businesses.
There is a huge need for improved STEM education because businesses in the community are having a difficult time finding qualified STEM employees, Johnson added.
“We need to produce people from our school systems and our university for these careers,” Johnson added. “In our K-12 school system, the STEM education is becoming much more rigorous and much higher quality and we need to support those efforts, not just for those people who want to go into STEM careers, but for everyone to have a better understanding of things like math and science and tech and how that affects their daily life and decisions.”

The seventh annual Social Justice Symposium is shaking up the agenda this year with the inclusion of a closing panel discussion for the first time in its history.
The past six years the event has been held, it has always ended with a keynote speaker. However, this year coordinators thought it would be valuable to include a moderated panel discussion of local professionals instead .
“Our goal is to inspire people to action more at a personal level, kind of seeing how people throughout their work are committed to social justice, but also inspiring action for people at an individual level,” said Elizabeth Funsch, a graduate student studying public health and Latin American studies and co-coordinator of the symposium .
The theme of the entirely student-driven symposium is “Access: Keys to Social Justice.” The event is designed to involve students, faculty, health professionals and members of the community in conversations promoting awareness of action in pursuit of equality and justice in every aspect of life .
It will be held Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the UA Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health .
The event, which is open to the public, will feature a keynote speaker, four breakout presentations and a closing panel discussion .
“I think the seventh annual symposium that we are having on Friday will be a great opportunity for people to become more educated on initiatives that are going on in academia, in the community, both in the state of Arizona and across borders,” said Leah Iverson, a graduate student studying public health and Latin American studies and the other co-coordinator of the symposium .
The keynote address will be given by Mike McCamon, chief community officer of Water.org , a nonprofit organization that has established innovative and community-driven solutions to help increase public access to safe water . His speech, “Experiment with Online Activism,” will delve into using technology and web-based campaigns to stimulate social justice movements.
“I’m really excited about hearing him speak,” Funsch said. “I think it’s going to be really interesting hearing his perspective on how Water.org and how he has gotten involved in social justice.”
After the opening remarks and the keynote presentation, participants will choose from four different breakout presentations to attend, each of which focuses on a specific
topic related to social justice.Participants can then attend presentations
dealing with environmental injustices, vulnerable populations, politics and health inequalities and local approaches to global injustices . Each session includes four short abstract presentations from local professionals who are creating social change in their communities. Presenters range from local Tucson residents to Mexican and Native American activists .
“We have so many great things to see and you can’t see it all, so hopefully it leaves people with wanting to come back the next year to see what we have,” Funsch said.
The symposium will end with the newly added closing panel discussion moderated by Elva De La Torre , a training specialist with the Community Partnership of Southern Arizona . The panel will feature two UA faculty members, a local Tucson pastor and a local activist from Casa Maria Catholic Worker House . De La Torre will facilitate a concluding discussion about the day’s events and issues with the panel of professionals .
“What’s interesting is that you will get a few different perspectives from the different panelists, depending on which track they were observing,” De La Torre said, “so you’ll get a nice variety.”
time,” Goldberg added. “Driving to Phoenix is a perfect example — it’s two hours of time wasted. Wouldn’t it be better if I didn’t need to control that car? I could do other things.”
According to Tamal Bose, head of the UA Electrical and Computer Engineering Department , Sprinkle also brings a passion for teaching and outreach to his classes that makes him popular among students.
“His love for his work makes him a successful teacher,” Bose said. “He really loves what he’s doing and it rubs off on other people, it shows.”
Sprinkle said he plans to involve high school students in his work with the autonomous car. Students would create computer code to control the car’s performance in experiments, giving them a chance to apply what they’re learning in math classes and to see a physical manifestation of that knowledge, Sprinkle said.
“They’ll get to drive the autonomous car in 10th or 11th grade,” Sprinkle said. “That’s really cool. No matter how exciting you think your geometry teacher was, it’s not this exciting.”
Sprinkle said he hopes to inspire students to pursue engineering the same way he was inspired at a young age .
“By going to a high school, we find people that might not otherwise have considered a career in engineering,” Sprinkle said. “But now engineering comes to them and they can make a one-hour investment to explore it.”
Ultimately, Sprinkle said he hopes some of the technology they’re working on with the autonomous car will be further developed by car manufacturers, who can apply it on a larger scale.
Sprinkle’s ability to understand and adapt to changing technology means he can have an impact on the future, Goldberg said.
“He’s a rising superstar and works on some of the more exciting projects we have,” Goldberg said. “You’ve got to have some people out there in the front edge and thinking about where we should be going. I wish I had a hundred faculty members like him.”

Thank you for speaking the truth. Nothing is more frustrating as a parent than to see other parents treating their kids like special, precious flowers that shouldn’t have to be sad. Life is a competition, either in school or work, in the dating world and in our own heads.
Keeping your kids from ever having to lose or come up short stunts their growth and sets them up for the harsh realities of the real world. Be a good parent and let them fail. Learning to get back up and keep moving is one of the most important lessons to learn.

In response to “Pac-12 conference investigating head of officials for suspicious comments regarding Miller” (by Cameron Moon, April 2):
The real joke is Pac-12 officials. Rush should be replaced
immediately to preserve the integrity of the Pac-12. If Scott won’t do that, he needs to be replaced also.
Coaches cannot be expected to be silent when an official thinks he saw something that didn’t happen or didn’t see something that did happen. Everyone says officials are only human and have a tough job. The same can be said for coaches.
If Rush wants officials to “crack down on coaches” he should expect the same treatment for himself from fans and from the Pac-12 commissioner.
If Rush’s offer for gifts to any official who called a technical foul on Miller was a joke, you have to remember jokes are not funny if there is not an element of truth in them.
The Pac-12 will do just fine without Ed Rush; it won’t do very well without good coaches.

this type of prank on campus. With the shootings that have occurred recently in Newtown, Conn., and Aurora, Colo., reporting a gunman on campus isn’t something that should be turned into a prank.
This hoax is really a slap in the face to all the families that have lost loved ones from these events. Not to mention the amount of money lost while police searched for this gunman.
I’m all for pulling pranks, but there is a fine line between acceptable and unacceptable. If this was done by a U of A student, I expect better from you.

It’s the first week of March 2014. The Wildcats are up 71-70 with three seconds left on the clock. UCLA has the ball, shoots
and is blocked by Nick Johnson. As the Wildcats celebrate, the referees call
them back and award the UCLA player two free throws.
But the block was clean — the announcers and the players all say so. As UCLA hits both shots, the Wildcats are sent home with yet another Pac-12 loss.
This nightmare could easily become reality next year if Ed Rush, Pac-12 head of officials, isn’t fired.
On Monday, CBSSports.com writer Jeff Goodman reported that Rush was being investigated by the Pac-12 for saying that he would give $5,000 or a trip to Cancun to any ref that gave UA head men’s basketball coach Sean Miller a technical foul or threw him out of the game.
While Rush and Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott claim that these comments were made in jest, the referees in the room apparently didn’t interpret it that way.
“If you don’t do anything, you probably won’t get any good games down the road — or you may not get any games at all. That leaves us in a tough spot,” Goodman’s anonymous
source,a Pac-12 referee, said. Miller ended up getting a technical foul,
and the Wildcats ended up losing by two points. Regardless of the outcome of the game, the mere idea that the head of officials would make such an unprofessional and inappropriate “joke” threatens the integrity of the Pac-12 and college basketball.
And as the cherry on top, Scott’s continued defense of Rush makes the conference look bad.
For student athletes, to have the game be determined by a head official’s personal vendetta is an insult to their hard work. And to have the commissioner of the conference stand behind the head official on top of that is insulting.
Rush didn’t just “make a joke,” and if he was trying to, it certainly wasn’t funny. In standing behind Rush, Scott isn’t saying, “Sometimes people say things they shouldn’t,” he’s saying that he doesn’t care about the players and the coaches in the conference.
Without the players and coaches, Scott and Rush wouldn’t have a job. No one goes to a basketball game to see the referees, after all.
Fans complained about bad calls all season, but they attributed it to human fallibility, and trusted that the officials were trying their best.
Now that’s changed. This issue is much bigger than Miller’s
$25,000 fine for comments he made after the game. It’s bigger than the way it affects how other conferences see the Pac-12 and Arizona’s ability to schedule non-conference games. It’s big because of the message that Scott is sending.
The NCAA prides itself on the attributes that college athletics teaches its athletes, including hard work, teamwork, fair play and integrity.
But as Scott defends Rush, that integrity becomes diluted.
It’s up to the UA to send a message to Scott. President Ann Weaver Hart, Miller, administrators, coaches and students across the conference should be calling for Rush to be fired.
Rush deserves it not because he ruined a basketball game, but because he sullied an organization that is supposed to teach integrity and fair play.

A student parks her car, walks over to the meter and pays for the hour that she’ll be gone.
As she completes her transaction, the meter prints out a receipt — but she doesn’t notice. The receipt is spit out of the machine and onto the ground, picked up in the wind and carried away.
Parking meter receipts have become a new source of litter on campus, gathering in nooks and crannies until Facilities Management employees clean them up.
When the UA installed automated parking meters in 2011, the coin-free parking option was praised for its accessibility; however, it failed to take into account the amount of waste created by the receipts printed out with every transaction.
According to UA Parking and Transportation Services, there are 35 automated parking meters on campus that see an average of 1,100 transactions daily.
On average, that’s about 1,100 receipts a day, 7,700 a week and 401,500 a year.
That’s a lot of paper.The problem is most people who
pay directly at the pay station leave their receipt or don’t wait to get it after it prints. There is no option to decline a receipt.
Automated parking meters should make that option available, like gas station pumps do. There could even be an alternative to receive the receipt via text message or email, as seen in many coffee shops.
Bill Davidson, PTS public information and marketing manager, said the entire process could be electronic, it’s just a matter getting it set up.
The technology is already there, as seen in the PayByPhone app, which was brought to campus through PTS’s partnership with Verrus. The app allows students to renew or pay for their meter space simply by registering their cell phone with the service.
Currently, if someone makes a transcation through a PayByPhone, no receipt is printed. Instead they receive an e-mail receipt for their parking session that serves as both a personal receipt for payment and proof that they paid for parking, according to Davidson.
However, this option is only available if you register through the online service and complete your transactions either online or via smartphone.
Although smartphones seem to be everywhere, plenty of students still do not have them. Instead of requiring users to have expensive technology to cut down on waste, the pay stations themselves should already have paperless options in place.
Not only would it be easier for individuals to keep track of their receipts, it would also be cost-efficient and reduce the amount of paper consumption and litter on campus.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, about 71 million tons of paper and paperboard are used in the U.S. each year, and the American Forest and Paper Association stated that only 65.1 percent of this paper was recycled in 2012. While eliminating parking receipts may seem a minor change, it could make a significant difference over time.
Eliminating one source of litter on campus by updating the technological capabilities of the automated parking meters would take little time and energy. These wasteful paper receipts are cluttering up our campus, not to mention our environment, and the solution is completely within reach.
Until more electronic options are provided, the meters won’t reach their maximum potential.

Two birds, one stoneTwo non-UA affiliated men were arrested on charges of
underage drinking after police officers noticed one of them alone in an empty parking lot at 12:40 a.m. on March 30.
As two University of Arizona Police Department officers were patrolling the area, they became suspicious of a man sitting in an empty parking lot on First Street and Warren Avenue.
The man, who said he was from Phoenix and was staying at a hotel, told police he was searching for his friends. Officers noted the man’s bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and confusion, and he admitted that he had been drinking earlier.
Two men then walked up and asked the officers for directions to the Hampton Inn. The officers asked if they knew the sitting man.
“Fuck no, I don’t know this guy,” one of them said, but the sitting man replied, “Yeah, I know them.”
The man who had just walked up began answering the officer’s question with irrelevant information. He showed signs of intoxication, but refused a breath test.
He was then placed under arrest and became “argumentative and combative.” When police put him in the back of a patrol vehicle, he kicked at a window and began banging his head and shoulders against the inside of the car.
The man who had been sitting in the parking lot then answered the officers’ questions, informing them that he’d had six beers and that he had paid “a bum” to buy him a 30-pack of beer. A breath test proved that he had been drinking.
The two men were then charged with minor in possession and booked into Pima County Jail.
Pissed offA UA student reported criminal damage after someone
urinated on his carpet and door in Coconino Residence Hall at 9:10 a.m. on March 30.
The incident occurred between 12:30 a.m. and 9 a.m., the student said, and had happened seven to nine times over the last month. He didn’t know who was responsible, but said he and his roommate hadn’t had any problems with their hallmates.
There are currently no suspects or witnesses.
Post-party depressionA UA student was taken to the University of Arizona
Medical Center due to drinking-induced vomiting at Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall at 3:45 p.m. on March 30.
The student was reported to be vomiting and slurring her speech, with her head laying on the toilet seat. An officer and paramedics went to Apache-Santa Cruz to evaluate the woman, who was then taken to UAMC to be treated for alcohol intoxication.
A different officer then spoke with the student in the hospital at 6:25 p.m.
Although the student admitted to drinking alcohol, she would not say where she had been drinking.
She was then arrested on charges of minor in possession and consumption of spirituous liquor and released to UAMC for further care.

Two strong innings lift WildcatsTwo big offensive innings mixed
with key relief pitching made up No. 19 Arizona’s recipe for success in Wednesday’s series finale against No. 5 Cal, in which it dropped the Golden Bears 7-3 at Hillenbrand Stadium.
The Wildcats (24-13, 4-5 Pac-12) scored three runs in the first inning and four in the fifth to put away the Bears (29-4, 5-1 Pac-12), who won the overall series by sweeping the Wildcats in a doubleheader Monday evening.
Cal pitcher Jolene Henderson, who pitched two complete games Monday, was on the mound for the Golden Bears again Tuesday. Henderson
pitched five innings, allowing seven hits and seven runs (five earned) on 96 pitches.
“That’s a big game for us,” Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said. “We’ve been snake-bit because of our own doing. Today I thought we finally executed the game and gave ourselves a chance to win.
“[Henderson] wasn’t as sharp. She was pressing some pitches and got behind in the count a little bit. We did what we needed to do.”
First baseman Hallie Wilson and second baseman Chelsea Suitos started the game off with back-to-back singles before being advanced into scoring position via a passed ball by Cal’s Lindsey Ziegenhirt. Wilson scored on a sacrifice fly by catcher Chelsea Goodacre and Suitos on a two-RBI single by senior shortstop Brigette Del Ponte.
“It was nice to walk in and score three runs in the first inning off Jolene [Henderson], and [that] kind of set the tone for us,” Candrea said.
Freshman pitcher Nancy Bowling started the game for the Wildcats but only lasted 2.2 innings, giving up four hits and two runs (both on wild pitches) in the third inning before being pulled in favor of junior Shelby Babcock, who got the win (12-5).
When Babcock entered the game in the third, the Golden Bears had two runners in scoring position, but Babcock got the Wildcats out of that jam by striking out center fielder Vanessa Alvarez, one of her two strikeouts on the day.
“I was really impressed with Babs and the job she did today,” Candrea said. “Things [were] starting to fall
apart a bit, and she came in and shut the door down.”
Babcock retired eight of the next 10 batters she faced and did not allow a Cal runner to advance past second base until the sixth inning.
“I just hit my spots better and knew I wasn’t going to pitch to their strong points,” said Babcock, who pitched 4.1 innings, giving up four hits and one run.
Offensively, Henderson shut down the Wildcats from the second inning until the fifth, as they only reached
base on an error in the second inning. In the fifth, it was Goodacre hitting
her 13th home run of the year, a three-run shot that brought home Wilson and Suitos for their second runs of the game each, bringing the score to 7-2.
The Golden Bears scored one more run in the sixth on an RBI single, but Babcock finished the game with back-to-back strikeouts to a standing ovation.
“Like I said to them after the game,

Miller-Rush issue risks Pac-12’s rise to prominence
He made the comments in jest. He made the comments in jest.
He made the comments in jest.It doesn’t quite rattle off the tongue like
head coach Sean Miller’s “He touched the ball!” soliloquy from a few weeks ago, but the two are interchangeable.
Or maybe not, according to Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott.
Ed Rush, the Pac-12’s coordinator of basketball officials, has come under fire in the last few days after a CBS Sports article claimed that a few weeks ago, Rush offered referees $5,000 or a trip to Cancun in exchange for an ejection or technical foul of Miller in the Pac-12 tournament.
From billionaire Mark Cuban to ESPN’s Jay Bilas to every red-blooded Tucson resident, people nationwide are calling for Rush’s head.
Miller received his first technical foul of the year in the Pac-12 Tournament against UCLA on March 15, after which the Bruins converted the two free throws and the Wildcats were eliminated from the tournament in a 66-64 loss. Those two points made all the difference, and Miller more than expressed his frustration.
Miller was fined $25,000 for his post-game antics — not for his press conference, but rather for confronting an official shortly after the game and for “acting inappropriately” toward a conference staff member later.
Scott told ESPN Radio on Tuesday that the Miller fine and Rush’s bounty are separate situations, and that the fine still stands. He also said Rush’s comments were made “in jest,” so they aren’t a “fireable offense.”
Scott is far from an idiot — he’s made millions of dollars for the Pac-12 through expansion and the television network — but his stance on Rush is just plain idiotic.
Rush decides which games each referee officiates, and the bigger the game, the more money there is to be earned. This means that if Rush assigns a referee to a Pac-12 Tournament or NCAA Tournament game, the ref will make more money than he would in a regular season game.
Plus, in the CBS Sports article, a unnamed source close to the situation described Rush as a “bully.”
The bottom line is, I have a hard time believing that, joke or not, the officials wouldn’t take their boss’ remarks to heart.
That’s like asking a Transportation Security Administration agent to disregard a joke about carrying a gun onto the plane.
They wouldn’t let it slide. They wouldn’t pass it off as a “jest.”
Rush needs to be fired, yesterday.
Whether the referee gave Miller a technical because of a potential Cancun trip or not is irrelevant. If Rush isn’t fired, the integrity of Pac-12 officials will be in question until Scott does make such a decision.
With Rush in charge, Pac-12 basketball fans — particularly Arizona ones — will forever question the integrity of dubious foul-calls.
If there was any doubt whether Rush had offered up this bounty, then Scott’s hesitance to dismiss Rush might be justifiable. But in his (failed) parade of national media appearances aimed at rectifying the national perception of Rush and the Pac-12, Scott already admitted that the comments did happen.
ESPN’s Andy Katz tweeted on Tuesday that “A high-level non-Pac-12 coach said he won’t schedule Pac-12 schools in non-

Maggi has bumpy start to Pac-12 play
For a team trying to look toward the future, the large red and white letters printed on the navy outfield wall in honor of Arizona’s Omaha triumph in 2012 don’t make things easy.
Some players have managed to shrug off the burden. Others, such as right fielder Joseph Maggi, have not.
“No matter what anybody says, that big [banner] hanging out there that says ‘National Champions 2012,’ that can ride on you a little bit,” head coach Andy Lopez said.
He’s seen it before.After winning the College
World Series with Pepperdine in 1992, Lopez said players who were “loose as a goose” in the championship season suddenly “looked like they were carrying the world on their shoulders.”
Maggi was part of the Wildcats’ magical season. His .326 batting average was the highest of any freshman on the team, and he scored the opening run in Arizona’s title-clinching victory over South Carolina. The start of
his sophomore campaign has failed to live up to that precedent, and the high standard of excellence at Arizona is a major reason why.
“It’s just the standard here that is sort of expected at a place like this,” Maggi said. “For a little bit I wasn’t meeting the standard, and I knew that. That was hard for me.”
He started off the season batting 11-for-59 (.186), even with a majority of the games coming in a hitter-friendly ballpark. As one of just five players returning to the batting order from 2012, Maggi was expected to bring some offensive firepower along with his experience. That hasn’t happened.
“He’s been struggling,” Lopez said. “Facts are facts and truth is truth, he’s been struggling.”
The biggest thing he needs to do is relax, Lopez said.
It looks like that’s finally starting to happen.
“I think as the season goes
on he’s going to get a little bit more relaxed and understand that he’s playing baseball again,” Lopez said. “He’s not try[ing] to hang another red and white [banner] ... He has the ability; I hope last weekend was a start for him.”
In Arizona’s last series against Utah, a three-game sweep that took the Wildcats
out of the Pac-12 basement and snapped their six-game losing streak, Maggi finally delivered at the plate, go-ing 4-for-7 with two RBI and three runs scored.
“I was getting under the ball and trying to do too much,” Maggi said. “And in baseball, [if you’re] trying to do too much, you’re not going to be too successful. So I just got really down to the small things and it started working for me.”
Including the final two games against Oregon, Maggi has gone 7-for-13 with four runs, four RBI and four walks. The hot streak has helped his batting average, but it’s still
[Maggi’s] been struggling. Facts are facts and truth is truth, he’s been struggling.

This summer, freshman infielder Lauren Young will become the latest member of the Arizona softball program to trade in her UA colors for USA red, white and
blue.Young has been selected to the 17-member
2013 Junior National Team .“I was excited,” Young said. “To play for the
USA, for the Junior National Team is an amazing experience and I can’t wait for the opportunity.”
The 19-and-under U.S. team will play in the International Softball Federation X Jr. Women’s World Championship on July 1-7, in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.
“It’s very nice,” UA head coach Mike Candrea said. “It’ll be a good thing for her. She’ll get a chance to play a competitive schedule this summer and we’re really, really happy that she’s going to get that opportunity. She’s done a good
job.”Before that, the team will play an exhibition
and youth clinic in June. Tucson native Tairia Flowers, head coach of Cal State Northridge, will lead the young Americans.
Young, an Anaheim, Calif., native , said she was surprised she didn’t have to try out before being selected.
Freshman pitcher Nancy Bowling is an alternate . Young said she would love for Bowling to join her in Canada.
“It’d be really cool, having another Arizona teammate to go with me,” Young said. “It’d be like another experience too.”
Young is batting .320 with eight home runs and 23 RBI . She is second on the team in RBI and has a .374 on base percentage, .602 slugging and .928 fielding.
Candrea coached the Senior National Team during the 2004 and 2008 Olympics , winning the gold medal in Athens and earning silver in Beijing .
Candrea hasn’t been involved with Team USA since retiring in 2008, he said.
Young said Candrea didn’t mention his Olympic experience during the recruiting process.
UA director of softball operations Caitlin Lowe and assistant coach Alicia Hollowell both played for the Senior National Team from 2005 to 2008.
“They haven’t talked to me about it yet, but they’ve congratulated me,” Young said Tuesday night.
Redshirting senior pitcher Kenzie Fowler played for the 2006 Junior National Team , winning a gold medal at the National Pan American World Qualifier in Puerto Rico .
Sophomore catcher Chelsea Goodacre and sophomore first baseman/outfielder Hallie Wilson were teammates on the 2010-11 Junior National Team.

conference while Ed Rush is coordinator of officials. No trust.”With Scott in the fold, the Pac-12 has been slowly rising
back to national prominence, and Arizona is at the center of that with its passionate fan base and increasingly talented roster, boosted by the Tuesday commitment of five-star forward Aaron Gordon.
If Scott keeps Rush employed with the Pac-12, any built-up goodwill will dissipate when the conference becomes the laughingstock of college basketball.
If Rush’s comments aren’t a fireable offense, and earn him no more than a slap on the wrist, then Miller’s post-game antics shouldn’t be a fineable offense, either.
“Nothing is more important to me than the credibility of our program,” Scott told ESPN.

the top six hitters on Arizona are hitting a combined .349 average , including third baseman Brandon Dixon , who is hitting a team-high .413 on the season .
� e rest of the team, though, is hitting a paltry .226, and Maggi has the worst average of any Wildcat starting more than 20 games this season . A little added punch from the bottom of the order could go a long way.
“It’d be nice to get a balanced attack and not feel like you can go and get a hot dog after the six hole,” Lopez said.
“We want people to sit in the stands and say, ‘Hey, you got to watch this guy Maggi. You got to watch this guy [Ryan] Koziol . You got to watch this guy hit.’”
that was the � rst time this year that I heard old Hillenbrand Stadium,” Candrea said. “Final out, people on their feet, clapping for the � nal out. � at was nice to see, and I wanted to make sure they were aware of that.”
Candrea said this was a good win to show the Wildcats, who sit in sixth place in the conference , that “they can play with anyone,” Candrea said. Tuesday’s win was only the second over a ranked opponent all season , and halted a potential four-game conference losing streak .
“I noticed with our team, getting ready, we played a lot more free,” Goodacre said. “Today, we were going to go out there and play the sport that we love, instead of trying to do something. We just went out there and played the game, had fun and it turned out well for us. Today we beat them, and we are � nding a way to win ball games now.”

Best of Both Worlds
As the first track begins, all that’s audible is the low, sultry sound of jazz chords on a piano, building up over what seems like a rapturous eternity to include a glockenspiel and falsetto vocals, then blossoming into a full-fledged neo-soul assault.
Could this really be the new Tyler, The Creator album? Were all Tyler’s reports in the lead-up to Wolf’s release about leaving his gory and homophobic raps behind really true? Has Tyler, The Creator grown up?
To Tyler’s credit, he doesn’t make you wait long for the answer. Precisely 31 seconds into Wolf’s eponymous intro track, Tyler gleefully slams the brakes on the jazz chords and growls, “Fuck,” his smile audible.
Turns out we’re in for just another Tyler album. Excessive homophobia shrugged off on account of a close friendship with the famously bisexual Frank Ocean? Check. A tired cavalcade of alter-egos and therapists? Check. A horribly misguided M.I.A send-up called “Tamale”? Inexplicably, check.
Of course, reviews discussing the musician rather
than his music are exactly the reason Tyler’s feeling so depressed these days, and to his credit Wolf has its moments.
Wolf’s first proper song, “Jamba,” is a fine return to the world of Odd Future, with a welcome cameo from Hodgy Beats and a surprisingly on-point opening line from Tyler: “Poppa ain’t call even though he saw me on the TV; it’s all good.”
Other tracks are more par for the course, such as the brooding, off-kilter “Cowboy,” which only lacks punch on account of its being exactly the kind of track that Tyler’s mastered since his debut, 2009’s Bastard. The moody pitch-shifting of “Awkward” fares well, but better still is “Answer,” another in the long line of Tyler songs about his absent father. Tyler’s at his best when he’s reminding you he’s human, and the heartbreaking refrain of “I hope you answer” serves as a nice counterpoint to some of his more insipid material.
Surprisingly, Wolf’s weakest songs don’t come from misdirected hate-mongering, as they have in the past.
Rather, songs like the seven-minute-plus “PartyIsntOver/Campfire/Bimmer” and Frank Ocean-feature “Slater” suffer from a plain old lack of ideas and melody.
Of course, on the other end of the spectrum there’s “Trashwang,” an absolutely insane posse cut in which Tyler incorrectly thought it was a good idea to throw a bunch of Odd Future’s non-rappers (save for the always-welcome Jasper and Taco) on the same track as one of his Waka Flocka beats and the lead singer of Trash Talk.
Nothing’s quite as nauseating as “Colossus,” though, Tyler’s very own “Stan,” in which he plays the part of an adoring and — wait for it — gay fan. Then he reverts to himself, shouting homophobic slurs and asking you to feel bad that he gets hounded for autographs all the time.
Overall, Wolf is pretty standard fare for Tyler, The Creator. Some good tracks, some detestable ones, some filler. If nothing else, with the Wolf trilogy done, maybe Tyler can finally ditch those concepts and go make an album with Earl Sweatshirt or something.
WolfOdd Future’s Tyler, The Creator returns with his
most mature, dynamic production yet — but does his lyricism match his melody?

“The Walking Dead” wrapped up its extremely successful third season this past Sunday, leaving
fans hungry for the next season to begin. For “Game of Thrones” fans, the HBO hit kicked off its new season just an hour or so after “The Walking Dead” season finale. Both of these shows are known for their cult followings. Fans are more than just passionate — they salivate over Sunday nights.
The huge cast of characters and intricate plot development of these shows are nearly
impossible to explain to newcomers. One thing is certain: Nothing is more likely to ruin a viewing party more than an uninitiated viewer who interrupts for clarification on each and every each character and plot point.
For those unfamiliar with shows with cult followings like “Game of Thrones” and “The Walking Dead,” these are some simple rules to follow, though the first, most basic rule is a must for any TV show: Don’t talk while the show is on. That rule holds even for people who are knowledgeable about the program. No one wants to be distracted, even for a moment, when their favorite show is on.
Diving into more specific suggestions, the best bit of advice for a newcomer is to never ask the question, “Who’s that?” When the show is already seasons deep into content and storyline, it is virtually impossible to create an on-the-spot SparkNotes bio for a character. If you can’t figure out who a character is through context, wait until a commercial break to ask.
Know that when commercials come on, discussion among the enthusiasts is going to heat up. They won’t have time to field all of your questions, and for productions on HBO like “Game of Thrones,” there are no commercials. w
Whenever someone tells you, “If you
watched the show, you’d understand,” that’s code for “shut up.” Hint: Even when you think you finally have your mind wrapped around everything, you probably don’t.
In summary, wait until the very end of the show to ask questions. In fact, just stay silent throughout the hour. Don’t make noise while eating snacks, don’t laugh at jokes you don’t understand and most importantly, don’t try to keep up with the “Thrones” and “Walking Dead” enthusiasts. You will fail, and annoy everyone in the process.
Just sit back, take it all in and make a mental note to marathon the seasons you’ve missed when you get the chance.
