2011 sees increase in dorm crime

Crime in residence halls has increased by 49 percent from last year, according to a data analysis of cam-pus police records.

There were 574 crime incidents at residence halls in 2011. In 2010 there were 386 incidents.

Most of the more violent crimes,

such as physical and sexual assaults, occured in larger dorms or non-tradi-tional area housing such as Babcock Residence Hall and Sky View Apart-ments, according to the data.

A review of the police data shows trends of crimes occurring in stu-dent halls that should raise concern among students and staff.

Coronado Residence Hall was a hot spot for criminal activity up until it was closed for renovations in sum-mer 2011. It had the most crime on campus with 81, 106 and 108 crimi-nal incidents in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively.

In September 2010, for instance, two groups of men, some of them UA students, were involved in a vicious fight right in front of the hall.

Andrew Gooding, a 19-year-old student at the time, was arrested after throwing a rock the size of softball at a fellow student, sending him to the hospital.

“Yeah, I’ve definitely heard about Coronado’s reputation, it was a big party scene,” said Amanda Bruno, an anthropology freshman.

University of Arizona Police Department officers are often called because resident assistants deem

residents or their visitors to be dan-gerous.

“It’s usually the RAs because they’re the ones making the rounds in residence halls,” said Jose Bermudez, crime prevention officer for UAPD. “If they feel a person is belligerent, and if they ask them to leave and they won’t, then we encourage them to call 911.”

Huppenthal: Universities should ban ethnic studies

The law that banned ethnic studies courses in the Tucson Uni-fied School District may extend to universities if an Arizona policy-maker can successfully push the initiative.

John Huppenthal, the state’s superintendent of public instruc-tion , told Fox News Latino that he wants to suspend Mexican Ameri-can studies in Arizona universities because these courses teach stu-dents to resent Anglo-Saxons.

Huppenthal helped pass Arizo-na’s House Bill 2281 , which banned courses in public schools that pro-moted racial resentment, over-throw of the U.S. government or catered to specific ethnic groups. If schools that provided these courses did not comply, they would lose 10 percent, or about $14 million, of their public funding.

“The 10 percent is far more ben-eficial to the district as a whole than that program is for such a small, specialized group,” said Zoey Kot-zambasis, vice president of the UA’s College Republicans and a political science freshman , a supporter of the ban.

Arizonans search for better transportation

A recent report shows that Ameri-cans are driving less, with young people pushing for better public transportation options.

The Arizona Public Interest Research Group report found that by 2011, the average Arizonan drove more than 6 percent fewer miles per year than in 2004, reversing a decades-long trend. At a national level, those between the ages of 16 and 34 drove 23 percent fewer miles in 2009 than the average young per-son did in 2001, while the annual number of miles traveled on public transit by those in this age group increased by 40 percent.

“It’s clear that America’s young people are decreasing the amount

they drive and increasing their use of public transportation,” said Serena Unrein, public interest advocate for the group. “It would make sense that our policy mak-ers would want to start invest-ing in more public transportation and looking at other alternatives young people and all Americans are seeking.”

There is a host of reasons why Americans are driving less, includ-ing high gas prices, Unrein said. Other factors include changes in young peoples’ values and prefer-ences and improvements in tech-nology that support alternative transportation, she said.

“These factors make it seem that this trend will have an impact for years to come,” Unrein added. “If anyone says this is a trend that might be short lived, I would counter that and say that this trend appears to be long lasting.”

Because this trend could continue in the future, group

representatives say policymakers need to pay attention to these numbers as they decide what legislation to propose regarding transportation, Unrein said.

Although Arizona Department of Transportation spokeswoman Laura Douglas would not comment on the report itself, she did speak about the need to increase transportation

options.“Moving ahead into our trans-

portation future, we really need to take into account different ways of getting around,” Douglas said. “Our state is growing and it’s going to continue to grow, so we have to look at increased population and a mul-timodal approach when it comes to transportation options.”

The department is working on a two-year feasibility study to deter-mine the benefits of a passenger rail between Phoenix and Tucson, Douglas said. It’s in its first year and began once a previous study by the department showed that Arizona cannot continue to rely exclusively on roadways to move people.

“There are talks about trying to get a light rail from Tucson to Phoe-nix,” said Blake Richards, a criminal justice senior and a volunteer with PIRG. “I think if we were able to fund that, it would be highly used and highly valuable to our commu-nity here in Tucson.”

report shows young americans driving less, want other means

showing all the names of the previ-ous individuals who once held her position in addition to the keys to her new office.

“These keys will unlock your potential,” Brett Ponton said, crying.

Bryan Ponton, outgoing ASUA executive vice president, gave Krys-tina Nguyen keys to his old office as well as a frame that showed the names of previous executive vice presidents. He then gave her a hard hat, which was signed by past exec-utive vice presidents as well as a gavel to help conduct weekly senate meetings.

“Stay calm,” Bryan Ponton told Nguyen.

As ASUA President James Allen introduced incoming president Katy Murray, he said he could not look at her because he would “most likely break down into tears.” Allen explained that both he and Mur-ray took similar paths to become president, starting with “relatively small” positions in ASUA then mov-ing to chief of staff. In addition to the tokens and a picture frame that showed the previous ASUA presi-dents, Allen handed her a “spirit

stick,” which he said has a long his-tory, as ASU has tried to steal it.

“I am more than proud of how this year has gone,” Allen said. “I poured my heart and soul into this presidency, and most impor-tantly, I am extremely thrilled and excited for Katy Murray to take on this role.”

After speeches from the out-going executive board, ASUA Supreme Court Chief Justice Jen Dang swore in each of the newly elected officials individually. Once the ceremony ended, students, staff members and administra-tors were able to speak about the incoming representatives.

“This is a very important part of the university and they bring an awful lot to the table in terms of helping us steer our course and helping provide an excellent edu-cation,” said UA President Eugene Sander.

Melissa Vito, vice president of Student Affairs, said she was glad to see a ceremony for both the old and new officials.

“It celebrates student achieve-ments and change over leader-ship,” Vito said. “I’m really excited to be working with our new ASUA group and James and his team were terrific.”

Blood drive attendance up thanks to digital reminders

College students are more likely to attend blood drives they signed up for if they receive a digital noti-fication beforehand, according to a study conducted by a UA profes-sor and her students.

Joanna Masel’s evidence-based medicine class works on a differ-ent study each semester. Her stu-dents analyze the collected data and try to apply it in real life situa-tions, she said. This semester, they sent a group of students blood drive appointment reminders via email, text message or phone call, after Red Cross representa-tives said that students who sign up for campus blood drives often do not show up to their scheduled appointment.

“The goal is to teach them how to do research,” said Masel, an associate professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. “And if we can find helpful results along the way, then that’s great.”

The study was based on 129 appointments made by stu-dents. About half of the students that signed up for the blood

drive received some sort of digi-tal reminder, while the other half did not.

Of the 129 appointments, 58 stu-dents attended the blood drive. Out of the 44 individuals that received emails, 25 showed up and of the 30 that received text messages, 16 attended.

In regards to blood drive atten-dance, this was considered to show positive correlation, said Elizabeth

Cox, a UA alumna and president and project coordinator of the UA’s Red Cross club. To see a real effect, however, a larger popula-tion would need to be studied.

Texting students right before their appointments did increase the “show up rate,” she said.

“They said it made a difference,” Cox added.

Students solicited to attend the blood drive on the UA Mall were also more likely to show up to their appointment than those recruited via phone call or online.

Ryan Stertz, a business eco-nomics senior, said in the eight blood drives he has previously signed up for, he only remem-bered to attend one.

“This time, they sent me an email, a text, and gave me a call,” he said. “They hit me on all three and I couldn’t ignore them.”

James Wilson, a mechanical engineering freshman, was one of the students in the control group that did not receive any appoint-ment reminders. He said he relied on his friend to tell him about the appointment after he signed up.

“It would have been great if they had sent me a reminder,” he said.

charge interest for students as long as they are in school at least half-time and during grace periods and defer-ment periods, according to the Federal Student Aid website.

“I don’t think eliminating eligibil-ity alone is greatly going to affect the decision to attend grad school for people,” said Andrew Estes, a sec-ond-year classics graduate student. “But it’s one more piece to this ever-increasing cost for people to pursue higher education.”

Another change that will affect graduate and professional students, along with other students, is the

upcoming elimination of any repayment incentives to direct loan borrowers, Scott said.

These repayment incentives include a reduction in the interest rate or origination fee, which will affect graduate students especially because they normally take out more loans with higher interest rates than under-graduates, Scott said.

The Graduate and Professional Stu-dent Council tries to give constituents financial assistance by offering them travel grants and funds for certain projects. But this is only a small relief, said Edward Beck, the council’s chief of staff.

“Graduate students are the back-bone of universities, especially research-form universities like the

University of Arizona,” Beck said. “If the universities can’t recruit top-notch graduate students, then there goes the research and there goes the reputation of the universities.”

Some graduate students also stressed concerns about the ris-ing cost of higher education as well as increasing amounts of debt. Alex Perry, a second-year public health graduate student, said when students plan to attend graduate or professional school, they plan to go into debt.

“You know you have to pay back loans with interest at some point in time, but now it’s like, ‘Oh, by the way, you have to pay even more back now,’” he said. “It becomes almost prohibi-tively expensive to be a student.”

ABOR (Arizona Board of Regents) to recommend the elimination of MAS (Mexican American Stud-ies), Gender and Women’s Studies, Africana Studies, or any studies that focus on the history, culture and contributions to society that these disciplines provide,” he said in an email.

Jennifer Contreras, a senior studying Mexican American Studies and history, said ban-ning ethnic studies is an attack on the human race itself. Con-treras said although Huppen-thal has gotten this far, she does not see him “stopping any time soon.”

“In my book it is plain racism,” she added. “They saw a program that was very effective … and they saw that as a threat.”

Engineering Design DayBy Savannah Martin

A group of engineering students display the user interface and control system they made for the 10th annual Engineering Design Day in Bear Down Gymnasium on Tuesday. This year’s event included 262 engineering seniors.

Months of planning, designing, testing and retesting culmi-nated at Engineering Design Day on Tuesday, where engineering seniors from every discipline showcased the fruits of their labor in Bear Down Gymnasium .

The event featured more than 50 projects created by engi-neering students working directly with industries to design everything from miniature airplanes to smartphone applica-tions. Many projects were sponsored by companies like Raythe-on, Airtronics and Caterpillar Inc., which offered participants $13,000 in prizes . Students competed to win one of 20 awards including the top prize of Best Overall Design, sponsored by BAE Systems .

“We work toward this for four years, and finally we get to show something for it,” said Maricela Rivera, a senior studying agricultural and biosystems engineering . “It’s not just books, it’s something real.”

Throughout the academic year, the engineers work in teams to design, test and compete with their projects. Some were able to travel across the country to get materials and face off against other engineers.

One team of aerospace engineers competed in the Ameri-can Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Design/Build/Fly Competition in Wichita, Kan . They built a miniature airplane and put it to the test in three missions.

The first mission, to complete as many laps as possible over the flight course in four minutes, was a success, but the other two trials were cancelled due to a tornado, the team said.

Despite the bad weather, they returned to Tucson and com-pleted the remaining missions on their own.

Another group developed a sensor for helicopters to moni-tor the “health” of the operating system. The sensor measures the stress on the helicopter and warns the pilot if it is going to break down.

The four-member team drove to Oregon to get one of the parts they needed for their health-monitoring system, said Danielle Theodore, a systems engineering senior .

“I think the biggest thing we gained was camaraderie,” she said. “We got outside our comfort zone in every way.”

Rivera led a team of students who designed a system to con-vert used cooking oil from the UA student unions into biodiesel. The student unions throw out approximately 500 gallons of cooking oil every month , Rivera said. Her team’s project aimed to turn that waste into fuel for various vehicles on campus, like the CatTran.

“We tried to make it as green as possible,” she said. The project that earned the award of Best Overall Design went

to the Computational Optics team, who applied optical design in the nose cones of airplanes.

“I feel that all of our hard work we have made for the past year has paid off,” said Kate Green, an industrial engineering senior and one of the six members who won the award. “When we met our sponsor the first day, we told them we wanted to try and win.”

Michael Easton, the project’s sponsor and a Raytheon employ-ee, said the team will be going to the Optical Society of America conference in Monterey, Calif., this June to present their project.

“These six individuals are literally the best and brightest we have to offer,” Easton said. “Expect all of them to have extremely bright futures.”

the ability to erase mistakes. But then they remember that magic powers and time travel don’t exist, and they bear down and face the consequences.

But the Tea Party hasn’t quite accepted that logic. With degrees from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Tea Party members in Tennessee are trying to erase slavery from American history.

Members of the Tea Party want to implement legislation that would amend Tennessee laws governing textbook criteria. This includes teaching that the Founding Fathers formed a republic, not a democracy, as well as ignoring the fact that many of the founders owned slaves.

Hal Rounds, a Fayette County attorney and Tea Party spokesman, said there has been “an awful lot of made-up criticism about, for instance, the founders intruding on Indians or having slaves or being hypocritical in one way or another.”

Unfortunately for Rounds, history doesn’t work that way.

The Founding Fathers did intrude on Indians — they made and broke promises with them. And many of the Founding Fathers also owned slaves. George Washington had around 317 slaves when he died and Thomas Jefferson had around 200 at one point in time. That’s more slaves than there were participants at the first Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention combined.

While supporters of the legislation may have good intentions, passing such legislation would do a disservice to students in Tennessee. A country’s history isn’t something that can be changed to fit the way one wants the country to be perceived. Good countries and good citizens accept the mistakes of their past and make sure to teach the good with the bad so history doesn’t repeat itself.

Slavery is an important aspect of American history. It was the base of its economy for more than a century. Students need to learn that the founders, the most influential people in the country at that time, owned slaves, as was the norm then.

If people don’t understand the evolution of American views on slavery, how can they expect to understand the buildup to the Civil War, the most destructive conflict in U.S. history, 86 years after the Revolution?

Yes, the founders may not have been perfect, but isn’t that a testament to Americans’ persistence in bettering themselves? The first few decades of our country were rocky, at best. The Articles of Confederation failed, so the Founding Fathers admitted their mistakes, went back to the drawing board and drafted the Constitution.

America was imperfect from its inception and perpetuating the lie that the Founding Fathers were infallible is an insult to them. Tea Party members can’t just gloss over the chapters that make them feel uncomfortable.

American history isn’t always glorious. There are periods in U.S. history that are embarrassing but need to be taught. During the Revolutionary War, Americans owned slaves. During the Civil War, Americans refused to associate with Irish and German immigrants. Women couldn’t vote until 1920. During World War II, people of Japanese descent, even those born in America, were forced into internment camps. Gay men and women weren’t allowed to serve openly in the military until 2011.

Every generation has blemishes on its record. Pretending they don’t exist to feel better about your idols is childish.

Erasing history serves no one

Colleges taking interest in Pinterest shows good insight

Although many social networking sites are blocked in high schools,

Pinterest is one that can be used for academic purposes, and schools should get on board.

Pinterest, a social networking site that allows users to “pin” pictures to a themed bulletin board, has expanded in popularity since its debut in 2010. Some colleges now use social networking sites to raise student awareness.

Students are too busy in today’s world to stop to look at announcement boards around campus or read newsletters they find in their mailboxes. The majority of this generation gathers information from online newspapers, tweets or Facebook statuses.

In one minute, there are 1,090 Pinterest visitors, 7,630 stumbles on StumbleUpon, 175,000 tweets, 700,000 Facebook messages sent, and 2 million YouTube

video views, according to Social Jumpstart, a social media resource for small businesses.

Students turn to the Internet for almost everything. It started with Myspace and now there is Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, StumbleUpon and so many others. Pinterest is not only rising in the list of popular social networking sites for students, it’s also catching the eye of colleges.

Colleges turning to the one thing that today’s students are consumed by is an interesting and effective way of conveying information.

People may use Pinterest to plan a wedding, decorate their home, explore interests or hobbies or share recipes. However, the Chronicle of Higher Education found that university libraries are getting even more creative with Pinterest.

Saint Mary’s College of California is using Pinterest to market De La Salle Week,

a celebration of the life of St. John Baptist de La Salle and the college’s Lasallian heritage. School officials are using the social networking site to feature photos of and information about the saint on their board, making the information more interesting than plain text or a flyer on a bulletin board.

Virginia Tech is planning a renovation of the school’s library, and through Pinterest, school officials are able to express ideas about paint colors and different kinds of workspaces. This online gallery is completely different from physical boards for book art, historical library photos and tips for surviving the end of the semester, because the information on them is available anytime and anywhere.

Lastly, at the University of Nevada at Reno, a reference and instruction librarian uses Pinterest to post images of things that may be missing from the library. Finally schools are understanding that the more information is available online, the more likely that students will see and respond to it.

Colleges using social networking sites, especially Pinterest, to reach out to a

broader student population is a brilliant way to communicate with today’s students. It’s much more efficient for students to just log into Pinterest than for administrators to expect a newsletter or announcement to reach everyone.

It’s time for colleges to update the way they release information to accommodate the way people choose to receive their news.

There’s no reason to get rid of tangible reminders, but expanding to include new social media is a smart move that schools like the UA should make.

Fiery protest ignites interest in art

To protest budget cuts, the director of the Casoria Contemporary Art

Museum in Naples set a Séverine Bourguignon painting ablaze. Some may say this is too extreme, but it’s exactly what is needed to get political attention when it comes to shrinking funding for the arts.

Antonio Manfredi, the director, watched the painting burn to a crisp with the artist standing at his side in solidarity. Manfredi reportedly called the protest an “Art War,” according to msn.com, and plans to burn three paintings a week until people start paying attention.

Dramatic actions like this aren’t as common in the world as they should be. Demonstrations like Manfredi’s illustrate the arts community’s growing frustration, which stems from lack of funding. Imagine if budgets were cut severely to the museums that hold Michelangelo’s “David,” or the “Venus de Milo.” The preservation of the sculptures would be in serious jeopardy.

These historic icons not only serve as an example of the tools and technology that artists used in those eras, but also the ideas and themes that their societies were built on. Art is a tangible

way to experience the past, and it deserves funding and the public’s acknowledgement.

The UA could use this same method to spotlight its arts funding woes. For example, the Center for Creative Photography is the largest institution in the world devoted to documenting the history of North American photography. It also houses the complete archives of Ansel Adams and W. Eugene Smith, among others, which emphasizes its importance.

The center’s budget has been so severely cut that the art library, which was once housed inside, is now being used as a storage room. And if you want to check out or read one of the many rare books in the collection, you have to go all the way to the Science and Engineering Library, which makes no sense. The center

can also no longer hold public viewings of photographs from certain collections, keeping the work of these amazing photographers hidden from sight.

The center should follow the example of the protest in Italy to emphasize that without proper funding, these works are useless, because they’re hidden away.

Science Downtown: Mars & Beyond “Mars and Beyond” brings you the wonders of Earth’s neighborhood, our solar system, in stunning color and clarity. The emphasis is on Mars, the “Red Planet,” which has fascinated Earthlings from earliest recorded history to today. You’ll see stunning space imagery from the Red Planet and the solar system, including samples of some of the latest NASA Mars mission spacecraft - the robotic planetary science tools that, after millennia of wondering, are now answering some of Mars’ and the solar system’s mysteries. “Planetary science is just geology in space,” as one University of Arizona planetary scientist puts it. But it’s easier said than done and with the exception of the Apollo missions to the Moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s, that exploration has required robotic exploration. The UA, capitalizing on its expertise in planetary science, astronomy, optics and imaging, has put itself in the thick of the quest for knowledge about space since the 1960s. “Mars and Beyond” digs deep into the mysteries of the Red Planet, including some of the latest cutting edge scientifi c work by UA teams on NASA’s HiRISE Mars high-resolution orbiting camera, the Phoenix Mars Mission science lab lander, the upcoming OSIRIS-REx, and more.Times: Closed Tuesday-Wednesday.

To end the year, the Daily Wildcat has thrown together some of the best Police Beats from earlier in the semester.

Let me urinate in peace (Feb. 21)Two Latina custodians called the University of Arizona Police

Department, saying a female student in the UA Main Library was harassing them at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday. Officers arrived at the scene and met the women in the library, next to the restrooms, where the incident had occurred. The officers translated what they said and realized the suspect was still in the restroom stall.

The officers went inside the women’s restroom and intro-duced themselves. The student replied, “Get the fuck out of the bathroom, I am trying to urinate.” The officer asked if she was OK and she said she was upset because every time she tried to go to the bathroom and urinate the same two janitors were clean-ing the stalls. The officers asked if she remembered insulting the janitors and the student said, “Yes, I remember calling them bitches and whores and told them to go back to Mexico.”

The officer then asked if she was done urinating, and that when she was, she would need to step out of the stall. The girl said she would only come out if the officer went to grab her a tampon. An officer was able to retrieve a tampon shortly after and handed it to the girl. She eventually came out of the stall and spoke with the officers, telling them that she would like to speak with the supervisor of the library.

The student started yelling at the supervisor and telling her that it was a mistake to employ these two custodians because they would never let her urinate in peace. The student then started throwing wads of wet toilet paper at the supervisor be-cause the supervisor disagreed, then attempted to throw the toi-let paper at the two janitors. Officers then arrested the student for disorderly conduct and referred her to the Dean of Students Office. Officers apologized to the supervisor and custodians for not taking care of the situation before letting it get out of hand.

Drive and dash (March 8)A VIP Taxi driver flagged down UAPD officers after driving

four students who left the cab without paying their $20 bill at 1:25 a.m. on Sunday. The students were driven to Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall. Officers began searching for the students, three male and one female, and eventually found the men. All three were intoxicated and slurring their speech, and the cab driver was able to positively identify them. When officers confronted the students, one of them said, “We ran because a girl took our money and we were all a little drunk so we were not thinking and decided to just run.” Students asked the officers if they could just pay the cab driver and be released, but the officers said no. The men were arrested for minor in possession of alcohol in body and theft. They were transferred to Pima County Jail and referred to the Dean of Students Office for Code of Conduct violations.

Hoppin’ over (April 23)A member of the Delta Gamma sorority called UAPD after she

saw a man jump over a fence into the sorority house’s backyard at 2:19 a.m. on Sunday. The woman said she suspected that the man was homeless. An officer responded to the scene and found the man hiding behind a porta-potty. As the officer escorted the man away from the sorority house, he kept saying, “I didn’t do anything wrong.”

The officer asked the man to tell him his name and date of birth, and the man said he was born on Oct. 37, 1977. When the officer told him that there are not 37 days in October, the man corrected himself immediately and said he was born on Oct. 7. The officer did a background check on the man, and found he had a warrant out for his arrest for shoplifting charges. The man was arrested and searched, and the officer found he was carry-ing a Motorola RAZR cellphone, a set of keys, an iPod Nano and a tool used for breaking windows.

The officer asked why he was carrying this tool, and he said he found it on the ground at a nearby park. The officer then asked why he jumped the sorority house’s fence, and he said, “I was taking a short cut to my house.” The man was put in the back of the police car and taken to Pima County Jail for third-degree trespassing.

with 35 incidents, 10 more than last year.In one case in September, a UAPD officer

went to the hall after a resident assistant called about an intoxicated student. There, the officer found Tucson Fire Department medics treating a woman for a swelling cut above her left eye. She was crying while repeating, “I don’t want a minor (in pos-session), I don’t want my dad to find out,” according to the police report.

The female student said she had been drink-ing alcohol, including rum and vodka. Despite her pleas, she was cited for minor in possession and the medics transported her to University of Arizona Medical Center.

Residence Life officials said they have been trying to increase safety in dorms in recent years.

“It’s a much greater emphasis now than when I first started because there was an increase of incidents of residents being transported to the hospital and campus-wide concerns about crime,” said Greg Ziebell, assistant director for Residence Life. “So we wanted to do everything we could to help our residents to be more alert and more aware.”

The number of reports of drug possession in residence halls also doubled, from 90 reports in 2010 to 180 in 2011.

Kaibab-Huachuca Residence Hall had the most drug possession reports with 25 in 2011, according to the data. Sky View had 21, Likins Hall had 20 and Arizona-Sonora had 19.

“I’m not surprised,” said Bruno, a Kaibab-Huachuca resident. “I lived here and I know the people who live here so it’s not shocking.”

The UAPD analyzes times during the semes-ter when illegal activity is most likely to occur, such as during Greek Life rush activities, at the beginning of the semester or when students return after break.

“That is when we see minors in posses-sion of alcohol increase and underage drinking increase,” Bermudez said.

Despite an overall increase in crime, includ-ing charges for minors in possession of alco-hol, the number of sexual assaults and rapes on campus has decreased since peaking in 2009 with three rapes and one attempted rape, according to the data.

In 2011, there were no documented cases of rape, but there were three sexual offense cases,

one of which was molestation, police said. However, UAPD officials believe that the low

numbers of sexual assault may stem from a lack of reporting.

“If you look at our statistics, they’re relatively low compared to other institutions, but this type of crime often can go unreported,” said Sgt. Juan Alvarez, the UAPD public information officer. “Sometimes the students involved will go directly to the Dean of Students Office and not to us so we don’t get them right away.”

Because of the difference between fil-ing a police report and telling the school’s administration, the police numbers are also different from those reported by the U.S. Department of Education. According to that department, there were five reported forcible sexual assaults in 2009, one in 2008 and eight in 2007.

Unlike the larger residence halls, the smaller halls typically have lower reports of criminal activity. Maricopa Residence Hall and Parker House, both smaller and all-female dorms, consistently have the fewest reports of crime each year, according to the police data.

Nevertheless, crime is indeed increasing in those dorms. In previous years, the five dorms with the fewest crimes reported between one and five crimes a year.

For 2011, the dorms with the fewest crimes occurring were Maricopa, with five; Parker, with eight; Navajo-Pinal Residence Hall, with 10; Coconino Residence Hall with 11 and Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall with 12.

OAKLAND, Calif. — About 400 people gathered in Oakland’s City Hall plaza at midday Tuesday to reiterate their commitment to confronting so-cial inequality and police aggression, in a sign that the ideals of the Occupy movement still resonate.

Some demonstrators wore face cov-erings and carried shields crafted from plastic garbage cans. Others identified themselves with crosses of red tape as medics in the event of clashes with police.

A small skirmish broke out between some protesters and riot gear-clad of-ficers. At about 12:40 p.m., at least one protester threw bottles and at least one metal paint can at officers who formed a line to hold back the crowd.

One officer, who asked not to be named, was splashed in yellow paint and kicked in the ribs as he sought to arrest a protester who officers said had rushed the police line.

Separately, CBS reporter Doug Sou-vern tweeted that protesters attacked and dismantled one of his station’s news vans.

Meanwhile, some advocates of a recall of Mayor Jean Quan — whose decision to raze the encampment and then let it return last fall earned her criticism — set up a table to collect sig-natures.

Another small group affiliated with the California Constitution Party showed up with a sign proclaiming “‘Occupy’ Attacks Working People.”

The message, however, focused on inequality.

Ingrid Martin, 48, of Oakland, who owns an organic landscaping busi-ness, said the good works of the move-ment have been skewed by coverage of intermittent clashes with police.

In the last two months alone, Mar-tin said, Occupy Oakland has fed more than 2,500 people at six community barbecues, offered emergency medi-cal training to residents whose neigh-borhoods are plagued by violence but often see slow paramedic response, and continued to save about one prop-erty a week from foreclosure.

“I want the world to change,” she said of her motives, as hundreds gath-ered to listen to speakers Tuesday near Oakland City Hall. “I don’t want it to be about capitalist exploitation but about liberty and justice for all.”

As Martin spoke, a demonstrator

spray-painted an anarchist symbol on city property. “I call that vandalism,” she said, but she noted that the ap-proach is low on her list of outrages.

“I’m far, far more frustrated that people get shot and it doesn’t get re-ported, and about the school to prison pipeline,” she said. “I want to see a deeper conversation.”

Tuesday’s protest came after a fed-eral court monitor overseeing a legal settlement that calls for Police Depart-ment reforms issued a report that said he was “dismayed” with the depart-ment’s “overwhelming military-style response” to Occupy protests last fall.

Oakland Police Chief Howard Jor-dan has said his department has im-proved crowd control policies and plans to use smaller groups of officers to isolate and arrest troublemakers.

Obama says 9/11 wars nearing end

In Oakland, 400 stage City Hall May Day rally

D. ROSS CAMERON / MCT

A crowd gathers to protest social inequality and police aggression as part of May Day demonstrations in downtown Oakland, Calif., on Tuesday.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Presi-dent Barack Obama told Ameri-cans Tuesday that after a decade of post-Sept. 11 wars in Iraq and Af-ghanistan, “we can see the light of a new day” — hours after signing an agreement that extended the U.S. commitment to Afghanistan.

Speaking early Wednesday morning local time from Bagram Air Base — a year after U.S. Navy SEALs killed al-Qaida founder Osa-ma bin Laden — Obama said the U.S. is prepared to shift into a lim-ited support role in the region after combat troops leave in 2014 and begin to “emerge from a decade of conflict abroad and economic cri-sis at home.”

“This time of war began in Af-ghanistan, and this is where it will end,” Obama said an election-year speech that invoked the 9/11 at-tacks on the U.S. and cast him as ending the wars.

“Over the last three years, the tide has turned,” he declared. “We broke the Taliban’s momentum. We’ve built strong Afghan security forces. We devastated al-Qaida’s leadership, taking out over 20 of their top 30 leaders. And one year ago, from a base here in Afghani-stan, our troops launched the op-eration that killed Osama bin Lad-en. The goal that I set — to defeat al-Qaida, and deny it a chance to rebuild — is within reach.”

Obama said the administration has been in direct talks with Taliban

members and that they “can be a part of this future if they break with al-Qaida, renounce violence, and abide by Afghan laws.”

He said many members “from foot soldiers to leaders” have indi-cated an interest in reconciliation and that “a path to peace is now set before them.”

“Those who refuse to walk it will face strong Afghan security forces, backed by the United States and our allies,” he said.

The remarks came just hours af-ter he and Afghan President Hamid Karzai put their signatures to a far-reaching pact that will govern U.S. support for Afghanistan after U.S. combat forces are gone at the end of 2014.

Obama, who made the trip to Af-ghanistan unannounced, and Kar-zai signed the agreement in front of Afghan and U.S. flags at the presi-dential palace, just after midnight local time. Obama called the sign-ing of the pact a “historic moment for our two nations.”

After the signing, Obama ad-dressed U.S. troops at Bagram, crediting them with blunting the Taliban, driving al-Qaida out of Af-ghanistan and decimating its ranks.

But he warned that the conflict wasn’t yet over.

“There’s going to be heartbreak and pain and difficulty ahead,” he told the 3,200 service members gath-ered at a hangar at the base. “But there’s a light on the horizon because of the sacrifices you’ve made.”

The gold-flecked Californian water is ice cold as we slowly submerge ourselves in it, wading out until we are forced to mount our boards and paddle through the breakers. Our dawn patrol pack finally makes it to the lineup, greeted by groomed 4-foot swells and a perfect offshore breeze. We start dissecting waves, each of us taking turns left and right down the line as the morning sun rises.

While this sounds like paradise to some, it’s a common weekend morning for any member of the UA’s coastal-minded club Arizona Surfers. Composed of curious adventurers and a smattering of Californian ex-pats, Arizona Surfers is one of the most eccentric official clubs on campus. There’s no formal structure or headquarters. Meetings are even less structured, when they occur.

While this sounds more like a social group than an 8-year-old organization, members of the club are likeminded in their active pursuit of waves.

Officially recognized in 2004, Arizona Surfers brought ocean-hungry students together to organize

trips to various West Coast beaches. Initially made up of a small group of Californians, the club’s ranks have swelled considerably. While there’s a revolving core group of 10 to 15 students who plan trips, any one of its 100 Listserv members is welcome to join the camping trips that the club holds throughout the year.

Though most excursions are beach camping trips, Arizona Surfers maintains a close connection with Imperial Beach’s YMCA Camp Surf, usually making a trip each semester to stay at the camp while engaging in surf lessons. It’s the best way to get the most out of the club, and will better prepare the land-born member for the weekend trips to places like San Onofre and Jalama Beach.

While the idea of conquering an oceanic sport may seem daunting to some, it’s often a venture that leads to a newfound passion for club members.

“I went on the club’s spring break trip my sophomore year, kind of on a whim,” said Arizona Surfers president Kristen Williams, who is a senior studying Spanish and business management. “That trip ended up being one of the most incredible experiences I had in college.”

When a “Call of Duty” game is released, it usually sells more copies than any other game of the

year. With the announcement of Activision’s “Call of Duty: Black Ops II,” 2012 is looking to be no different. But one part of the revelation could derail the franchise’s past success.

“Black Ops II” is going to be set in the near future. If that made you raise an eyebrow, you’re not alone.

Some may not find it odd. Others may even be excited. But this futuristic setting must be approached with caution. Treyarch, the developers behind “Call of Duty: Black Ops” and “Call of Duty: World at War” has never really dealt with a time period that didn’t already happen. Even Infinity Ward, the company that made all the “Modern Warfare” games, hasn’t ventured past the modern day. Delving into such unexplored territory is disconcerting to say the least.

The good news is that, unlike Infinity Ward, Treyarch consistently puts out compelling — or at least well-written — stories. They always had an existing framework to operate in, so working without one is going to be a challenge.

Bear in mind, a future setting doesn’t mean gamers are going to get a “Halo”-type game — which, while it sounds exciting at first, would probably be a disaster. More likely the games will be set 50 to 100 years down the road, in a world that doesn’t really look that different from today. After all, while there are only a few screen shots on the U.K. “Call of Duty” website to go off of, helicopters with four propellers don’t look much more advanced than modern technology already is.

Instead, “Black Ops II” will be futuristic in a political sense. The various countries of the world will all occupy different political, social and economic states than they do today, and some may not even exist at all. China could have taken over half the globe as benevolent rulers or the United States might be reduced to a third-world country.

A more likely scenario, however, will

maintain the superiority of the U.S. and pit it — with the U.K. appearing in a supporting role — against one of its classic enemies: an oppressive regime. It doesn’t really matter who the enemy is, though hopefully it’s not the Russians again. Either way, the plot is always a free America against an anti-freedom entity, be it a terrorist organization or an entire country.

That’s dangerous territory, though. Just look at what happened to THQ’s “Homefront,” a game in which North Korea invades the United States. The story was poorly received and the game overall earned mediocre reviews at best. Gameplay mechanics will save “Call of Duty” from flopping entirely, but there is still a risk of releasing a bad game that sells well.

For the most part, the problem arises from uncreative writers never changing the international status quo in near-future settings. The Middle East is still fighting over religion, the United States is still the last bastion capable of defending freedom, China is kind of there causing problems in the background and Russia is still defiant and stingy — and cold.

But what if all those scenarios were different? What if America becomes corrupt in the time between today and the game’s setting? What if the Middle East has settled down and the story follows a newly developing country trying to protect itself from foreign influence — with non-terrorist methods? What if Russia has collapsed under its own weight and the region is broken up into a handful of smaller, completely new countries? What if China decided to isolate itself again?

These are far more interesting than playing some game about a locked-and-loaded American good ol’ boy leading the charge against a caricature of a country that’s been technologically pushed forward by 50 years.

Nothing new will happen though — partially thanks to American gamers who would be appalled at the notion of America being, I don’t know, the bad guy. “Black Ops II” better do a damn good job with its unoriginal plot. If it doesn’t, it could be jumping the shark and ruin its credibility in one fell swoop.

Arizona Surfers brings desert dwellers to the beach

It’s the last day of classes before summer — or graduation for some — so the Arts & Life staff decided to pick out a

handful of tracks for the impending goodbyes.

‘ramble on’led Zeppelin

With guitar riffs that are distinctly Jimmy Page and almost as many allusions to J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings” as the feature film, “Ramble On” remains on Rolling Stone’s list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time,” and for good reason. But what’s more is that the 1969 four-minute-plus track has a great lead-in to a ramblin’ chorus that’s perfectly set for a goodbye: “Now it’s time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way / For now I smell the rain, and with it, pain / And it’s headed my way / Aw, sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I’ve got one thing I got to do.” It’s an ode to aimlessness and adventure, and perfect for swinging into summer.

‘Go your own Way’fleetwood mac

The 1977 track off of the exalted Rumours album is a perfect reflection of how the end of the semester feels (an appropriate nod to the drama that surrounded the release of the album, with a band then close to saying goodbye to each other). A seemingly simple close to four-minute marvel penned by Lindsey Buckingham, “Go Your Own Way” works both as a way to say goodbye to a person or place you love, and as a call for movement to an independent future. “You can go your own way, go your own way / You can call it another lonely day / You can go your own way, go your own way.”

‘never can say Goodbye’the Jackson 5

A nostalgic song both in lyric and in style, “Never Can Say Goodbye” is a five-voice musical farewell marking the end of a relationship. But it can be applied to the end of an era as well: “Then you try to say you’re leaving me / And I always have to say no / Tell me why is it so / That I never can say goodbye.”

With covers by a variety of artists including Gloria Gaynor, Sonny and Cher and Vanessa Williams, this song won’t ever die — and remains perfect for those who can never say goodbye, only see you later. And that’s not such a bad thing at the end of the year either.

‘Don’t forget to remember me’

carrie underwoodThis is song perfect for bittersweet goodbyes

— and even more appropriate for those old folks who won’t be going back home every spring, summer and fall after this semester ends. Sometimes the lyrics say it all, and the ones in “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” sound like a classic goodbye with parents letting go and children growing up: “Tell my baby sister I’ll see her in the fall / And tell me-maw that I miss her / Yeah, I should give her a call / And make sure you tell Daddy that I’m still his little girl / Yeah I still feel like I’m where I’m supposed to be / Don’t forget to remember me.”
