SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899

Exhibit joins art, science

By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT

After its third semester at the UA, the School of Information: Science, Technology and Arts hosted an art gallery that combined scientific concepts with artistic visuals.

The school hosted a reception

for the opening of its exhibit at the Union Gallery in the Student Union Memorial Center on Monday from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The exhibit displays art by students, faculty and staff members from the UA that mixes scientific, mathematical and technological ideas into visual concepts.

The exhibit, which is free and open

to the public, will run until Feb. 9.

“SISTA is about finding the heart in the machine, it looks for the beauty in what is a typically cold and emotionless field,” said Joseph Thibodeau, a sophomore studying information sciences, technology and arts.

Technology is used in these

pieces to show thought-provoking and beautiful artwork that could be displayed in a home, Thibodeau said.

Ellyn Gardner, a retiree, said she frequently goes to the school’s colloquia series and that she found

A group of student emergency medical technicians will team up with the University of Arizona Police Department to help shorten response times to students in need of medical attention on campus starting March 1.

The student volunteers, also known as the UA Student Emergency Medical Services, will aim to educate students and faculty in emergency prevention and respond to “anything from cardiac emergencies to minor injuries,” according to Justin Friedenthal, a junior majoring in special education and rehabilitation and cofounder of the volunteer group. Starting in March on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., when an individual on campus calls 911 for a medical emergency, UAPD will dispatch the group, and group members will go to the scene and provide basic care until the Tucson Fire Department arrives, according to Friedenthal.

“We’re bridging the gap,” said Melissa Ludgate, a UA alumna in physiology and the volunteer group’s staff adviser.

The idea to start the service came to Ludgate when she was a resident assistant in the dorms, and saw how long response times could be, she said. One night when she was waiting for UAPD officers to arrive on scene to assist a resident, Friedenthal, a resident at the time, came out of his room and said that as a certified EMT, he was happy to help the resident until officers got there.

From there, the two met with UAPD officers to “gain an understanding of how we could fit in with them,” Ludgate said, and a third student, Brandon Murphy, joined them once the two heard that Murphy was trying to start something similar on

The College of Optical Sciences held a farewell reception to honor its director and dean Jim Wyant for 13 years of leadership on Tuesday

What was initially supposed to be a small gathering of co-workers became a large ceremony with many guest speakers who shared inside jokes and stories of Wyant’s achievements. People flew in from

all over the country to honor him for all of the work and time he put in at the UA. “My idea for this event was to not have the event,” Wyant said. “Now I’m glad I had it.”

Trendy UA students might be able to turn their love for fashion into a degree with a proposed minor.

The fashion and consumers minor, if approved by the UA, will start this summer with online courses that deal with fashion economics and research through the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences with the help of the Terry J. Lundgren Center for Retailing.

“We have a lot of retailing students as well as family study students who, through the advising process, indicated that they would be interested if we ever offered some sort of fashion option,” said Anita Bhappu, an associate professor of family and consumer sciences and division chair for the retailing and consumer sciences minor. “We currently don’t offer any sort of fashion-based curriculum within the retailing program.”

The fashion and consumers minor will be an updated version of the current family and consumer sciences minor, which provides outreach classes to students online.

“We are modifying the courses set under the current minor,” Bhappu said. “We are taking an

existing minor and focusing it on fashion.”

The school received $40,000 in grant funding from the UA to begin the development of more online outreach education. The school plans on using this money to begin its fashion and consumers minor with the goal of possibly expanding in the future.

“It is a great opportunity for anyone in the retail department or anyone wanting to pursue a career in fashion or anything related to the industry,” said Monica Vincent, a senior studying family studies and human development. “It’s a huge industry, people are always going to be shopping and caring about how they look because it is a representation about themselves.”

Amy Jesionowski, co-owner and manager of Collette, a clothing store on University Boulevard, said she decided to go into fashion retail after owning an antique store by Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind. “My sister-in-law started a Collette by Purdue and wanted to see if her concept would travel,” Jesionowski said. “I was looking for something new to pursue and thought it was a good idea. It was a leap of faith picking this location but I’m happy with the traffic I get with the students and parents.”

PERU

FAREWELL

The volunteers worked in one of four fields: clinical medicine, social work, engineering and teaching English. The engineering program is the newest addition to Vive Peru. This winter, the engineering volunteers constructed an Internet tower that provided Internet to about 60 families, according to Hein.

Mary Ngugi, a pre-nursing freshman, and Siddesh Gopalakrishnan, a junior studying physiology and molecular and cellular biology, volunteered in the clinical medicine field. Both said participating in Vive Peru allowed them to get hands-on medical experience that they might not otherwise have received until they entered medical school.

“I want to be in medical school right now and practice these things I’ve learned, but I have to wait,” Gopalakrishnan said.

According to these volunteers, living in Peru was both rewarding and challenging.

Because he is vegetarian, Gopalakrishnan found some aspects of Peruvian cuisine limiting, he said. Most of his meals consisted of rice, beans and bread.

For Ngugi, getting over her “speaking shyness” was one of the toughest aspects of the experience.

“The cool thing about being over there and not being in class is that you have to (speak), you have to,” she said. “Unless you’re going to not talk the entire time that you’re there, you have to.”

According to Moedano, who stayed in the small mountainous community of Otuzco during both her visits to Peru, becoming accustomed to living without everyday luxuries she has at home in the United States proved challenging. The house Moedano stayed in has no air conditioning or heating, and she wasn’t able to indulge in any “pampering,” she said.

Still, despite having to adjust to a new culture and environment, these volunteers said the experiences they had in Peru were invaluable, affirmed some of their dreams, gave them humility and expanded their worldviews.

“I was so wrapped up with school and college and whatever — you forget that there is so much more to the world than this,” Ngugi said. “It’s so cool to think that there is somebody in Pacasmayo, Peru, right now. There’s doctors and nurses and people helping people and changing the world and doing stuff. And that’s what I want to do.”

been a crime beyond compare,” Doss said.

As the director, Jim Wyant expanded the undergraduate program, fought to make the College of Optical Sciences “a stand-alone college” and “brought entrepreneurship” to the college, Doss said.

Along with his achievements at the UA, Wyant has been a member and leader of optical sciences organizations like the Optical Society of America and SPIE, the International Society for Optics and Photonics.

As president of the Optical Society of America, Wyant oversaw the development of two journals and expanded the organization’s membership, according to Elizabeth Rogan, an attendee at the celebration. Rogan flew in from Washington to speak at Wyant’s reception.

“He has a nice balance in bringing the best out of people,” Rogan said. “He challenges everybody and he’s sincere in everything he does, and he truly enjoys life.”

Peter Likins, the UA president from 1997 to 2006, worked with Wyant to establish the College of Optical Sciences. Likins said it took a while to find someone who stood out as a leader when

“I don’t know if all of them are art majors but the work is at a level where if you are looking at them, you don’t really discern between them,” said Madelaine Sarbo, a studio art junior.

Sarbo said that although none of the artwork looked the same, all of the sections had a consistent and

formal training in fashion merchandising, Jesionowski said she would have benefited from taking fashion-related courses during her education.

She said part of showing an interest in fashion is understanding how the industry works, something that is not always stressed to aspiring fashionistas.

“I don’t think creativity always translates to a good business mind. You have to have more than one person involved so you have those two sides of the equation, or you have to find that unique person who can do both,” Jesionowski said. “It needs to make financial sense for it

Matthew Hall, a research programmer and an assistant instructor in the school, created a piece that is currently on display in the gallery.

“This is a simulation of a big chunk of the universe which is a few billion light years wide,” Hall said. “It shows the structures that form in the universe and are there today.”

The exhibit is the first that the school has hosted, and because the school is relatively new, they wanted to showcase student talent, according to Holly Brown, the school’s program coordinator. Not all the artwork is by students in the school, Brown said, but rather a general display of the concepts of what their programs are about.

“I teamed up with them (Ludgate and Friedenthal) to help them out,” said Murphy, a pre-communication sophomore. “We’re here to supplement the fire department, not replace them.”

Funding for the service will come from the student services fee through its “Late Night Campus Neighborhood Security” fund, according to Jim Van Arsdel, assistant vice president for Student Affairs. The fund, he said, uses monies from Residence Life, the Dean of Students Office and UAPD. The fund will also help pay for a couple of more police officers to patrol on campus between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, which Van Arsdel said is when most on-campus

emergencies occur.

“If you’re a student with a medical emergency, you’ll want them (the volunteer group) to respond,” Van Arsdel said. “Most emergencies don’t typically occur at the easiest time of day.”

Before the service becomes available to students in March, Ludgate said the volunteer EMTs will take a physical fitness test, learn how to use the police radio system, partake in mock drills and participate in bicycle riding training with UAPD officers.

In the future, Ludgate said the group plans to provide medical services to tailgaters at UA home football games.

“We found a surprisingly high number of students who had EMT certification and were searching for opportunities to get involved,” Ludgate said. “With this volunteer program, students are able to use their certification and get hands-on experience before entering the workforce.”

Students who are interested in learning more about the developments of the fashion and consumers minor can sign up for its Listserv through Family and Consumer Sciences. Bhappu said 70 students have signed up for the Listserv, surpassing the projected 50. If approved, the minor will only be open to take online and during summer sessions for the next two years.

“For me, I think taking the classes online during the summer would not have been a problem,” said Dishae Sanchez, a senior studying retailing and consumer science. “Because they are online, it would have been easy to have a work schedule or an internship and still take those classes.”

looking for the college’s dean.

Finding such a leader was challenging because Wyant is “quiet” and “modest,” according to Likins.

“He has enormous intellectual versatility, and yet he’s a nice guy,” Likins said.

Wyant was presented with various gifts toward the end of the ceremony including a portrait, a small replica of the Ohara Sphere that’s located on the third floor of the Meinel Optical Sciences building and a hologram with the inscription “James C. Wyant, Optical Pioneer.” Wyant also saw Lute Olson, Sean Miller and Greg Byrne at the ceremony.

“He loves his science madly, but the next thing he loves more than anything is basketball,” Doss said. “I tried to think ‘What can you get someone who has absolutely everything?’ … and when all three of them (Olson, Miller and Byrne) said they would come … I know he was absolutely thrilled.”

Now that Wyant has retired, Thomas Koch will take over as the new dean of the college. Koch moved to Arizona from Lehigh University in Pennsylvania two weeks ago and said taking Wyant’s place will be a “tough act to follow.”

“It’s a daunting challenge, but it’s the most wonderful of circumstances,” Koch said.

Lo-Fi: Three artists to look out for

By K.C. Libman Daily Wildcat With a new semester comes a new crop of buzzworthy bands, including Lana Del Rey’s timeless crooning, King Krule’s smart compositions and Gary Clark Jr.’s gritty take on the blues. Whatever the taste, at least one of these artists should spark a new musical interest.

Lana Del Rey

Courtesy of joe Koch for Warner Bros. Records

Gary Clark Jr., a 27-year-old Austin, Texas, native, is an artist to watch this year with his bluesy tone and whiskey-soaked vocals.

Lana Del Rey is hardly a new name, but she is carrying the revised and renewed brand of Americana on her back, acting as the sunsoaked, sex-scented posterchild for the genre. While she’s been the target of intense criticism from indie bloggers, accused of giving into an industry rebranding in order to appeal to a mainstream audience, she’s created an image that is unlike most of the solo female acts who dominate radio-friendly pop. Del Rey, also known as Lizzy Grant, wouldn’t seem out of place vocally or physically in an era decades older than our own.

Attention from media outlets like Vogue and VH1 ensures that Del Rey will be a household name in 2012 with her latest album, Born to Die, on shelves Jan. 31, thanks to Interscope Records. However, her mediocre appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” which earned her a lambasting from music critics, movie stars and news anchors alike, has people debating if she’s

a flash in the pan or a star waiting to blossom in an American market.

King Krule

Archy Marshall, once known as Zoo Kid and now King Krule, creates jazz-tinged garage magic reminiscent of your kid brother and his best friends playing. His mellifluously deep monotone works well over spastic and shifting drums, layered with clean bursts of guitar work. A simple introduction to Marshall’s work is the haunting “Out Getting Ribs” — initially released during his Zoo Kid era, this bare-bones track showcases his evolution from bedroom musings to reverb-saturated crossover poetry.

Gary Clark Jr.

The blues are back in a big way, and there is seemingly no better time to be an aficionado than now.

Acts like The Black Keys, The Dead Weather, and The Black Angels have forged a kind of dark path with this reinvigorated genre. It would seem that newcomer Gary Clark Jr. has some serious shoes to fill, and if his The Bright Lights EP is any indication of what he’s capable of bringing to the table, the 27-year-old Austin, Texas, native is more than capable.

Smoldering fretwork, whiskeysoaked vocals and the ability to deliver both pounding swing and chugging halftime rhythms make Clark a contender to aid the omnipresent blues revival.

Easy change-ups Defending trash TV: Lessons for your wardrobe learned from reality shows Commentary

By Ashley Pearlstein Daily Wildcat

Here are some staple items that can add a bold new look to your wardrobe without breaking the bank:

Accessories

A chunky necklace, a hint of turquoise or a pair of feather earrings can make an outfit.

Accessories are one of the cheapest ways to change your style up.

Black leather bracelets and earrings can add edge to your style, while a gold watch and stud earrings can add a stylish and professional feel. Charming Charlie in the Tucson Mall is always a great place to look; it is color-coordinated, abundant in choices and best of all, affordable.

Nude heels

Heels with a nude hue are making a comeback, though I am not sure where they went.

If you are looking to add more professionalism to your wardrobe, nude heels are a must-have. If you choose a pair that is low (only a couple inches), they can be worn for work, meetings, school or a dressy dinner with friends. The best part? They match everything. Try Steve Madden for a comfortable pair that isn’t too tall.

Colored hobo bag

Picture your favorite pair of comfy jeans and a plain white V-neck or a simple black dress.

Boring right? Now picture it with a turquoise tote bag or a purple purse to make the outfit pop. Purses are so easy to overlook when putting together an ensemble, but they can be an inexpensive way to add flair.

Oversized hobo bags for school or work tend to work best because they hold everything easily. Check out Francesca’s Collections for cute, affordable bags.

Tips for sticking to it

In order to capture the style that you are really looking for, research it. Find the someone whose style is similar to what you are looking for and pick out the pieces that make their style unique. Once you know what you want, try shopping at different stores. It is easy to get into a rut when you shop only at Forever 21 and H&M. Try shops at La Encantada or vintage shops on Fourth Avenue to change it up. Even University Boulevard has a bevy of different shops you can browse to add new flair to your old favorites.

Finally, when you find your pieces, remember to be confident. When you feel good in an outfit, it makes it look even better on you.

Happy shopping!

I

have a confession. I’ve been successfully brainwashed

by America’s favorite loveto-hate family: the Kardashians.

Delusions of grandeur, bright pink jumpsuits, two-story hotel suites and Kim’s latest failed romance draw me back in week after week, because, at their best, shows like “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” are really situational comedies.

It seems like the formula works: Approximately 3.2 million viewers tuned in to the November premiere of “Kourtney and Kim Take New York” to witness the dysfunction, melodrama and obnoxious opulence that permeate all things Kardashian.

By the time the credits roll, my thought process was so superficial that I feel like I need to crack open a copy of “War and Peace” to redeem myself.

We’ve all been there. But why do we feel the need to describe our fascination with reality TV as a “guilty pleasure,” like it’s a chargeable offense, or fear being judged because we find “mindless entertainment” actually entertaining from time to time? We’re in college because we want to contribute to society somehow, and frankly, sometimes reality TV teaches us lessons on how not to do

this more effectively than any psychology 101 class ever could.

Here’s a short list of reality shows that have taught me valuable lessons over the years, purposely or not.

‘The Real World’ (1992-present)

The mother of all reality shows may only be a shadow of its former self (remember when it seemed like one season lasted half the year?), but it continues ‘Flavor of Love’ to be a hit due to the inevitable intrigue of the famous line, “This (2006-2008) is the true story of seven strangers, In the first of VH1’s picked to live in a house …” increasingly trashy reality shows Lesson learned: They may be featuring D-list celebrities shallow, close-minded and hiding looking for love, Flavor Flav a few skeletons in their closets, but romanced girls half his age by watching these young adults throw letting them run amok in his drunken tantrums on national TV mansion while participating will make anyone feel better about in weekly “challenges” (fried chicken, anyone?). Three seasons the particularly embarrassing later, Flav still hadn’t found love. Thirsty Thursday incident last week.

Why there may be no next-gen consoles Jason Krell Daily Wildcat

T

o those familiar with the gaming industry, it seems inevitable that new consoles will one day be released by all three of the major corporations: Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. To those unfamiliar, yeah, that tends to be the case. I’m here, however, to tell you that the old ways may be dying out, and here are some reasons why.

Reason one: Technology

The industry has come to a point in its life cycle when advancements in technology aren’t as frequent or in as large amounts as they once were.

For example, the difference between the graphics on the original Xbox and the Xbox 360 is pretty vast.

Today, however, Microsoft would be hard-pressed to build a machine that could run better graphics than the 360

for an affordable price. Sony would find it just as difficult. Only Nintendo would be able to do so because the Wii has such comparably mediocre graphics.

While graphics used to be the industry’s focal point, that isn’t the case anymore. The Nintendo Wii changed the face of the industry, causing competitors to follow suit with the Microsoft Kinect and the Sony Move.

Now there’s the whole motion market still waiting to be tapped. The Wii did a decent job, but there’s a lot more potential, mainly in regards to hardcore gaming as opposed to the current casual gamer market. The first one to make a truly groundbreaking game with motion technology will capture the attention of all serious gamers and make itself the clear frontrunner from a sales perspective.

But does new motion technology require a new console? The Kinect and Move proved that isn’t the case.

In fact, any new technology, as in whatever the “next big thing” is, probably won’t need a new console either. The more likely scenario will be this: hybrid consoles. It’s actually the next best logical step for the big corporations to take.

Instead of selling add-ons separately, build them into the normal machine and keep it at a reasonable price ($300 tends to be a pretty good standard). That way, new buyers will have the latest technology without having to be bothered to pay extra for what they might not want and old gamers have an excuse to buy a new machine.

Reason two: Economy

No one enjoys paying for a new system when they already have one that works. And with people having less money to spend on big ticket items — such as consoles — it’s unlikely someone is just going to splurge and buy some new console unless the differences are earthshattering.

To make matters worse, a new console, with improved graphics and some other necessary gimmick, is going to cost upward of $400 and that’s being conservative.

Take a look at the latest handheld gaming devices to be released. The newest, Sony’s PlayStation Vita, cost $249.99 for the Wi-Fi only version and $299.99 for the Wi-Fi+3G unit.

Nintendo’s 3DS originally cost $249.99, but on July 28, 2011, after poor sales, it dropped to $169.99.

My point is this: If handhelds have gone up from $79.95, what the Gameboy Advance cost at launch, to where they are now, the increase in console price is going to be even larger.

Reason three: Unnecessary

For the most part a new console is not needed, with the potential exception being the Nintendo Wii. After all, they’re doing well. The Xbox 360 continues to be a popular powerhouse and PlayStation 3 sales have grown rapidly since its abysmal showing at launch.

Especially for the latter, why risk building a new machine when some

people might not care enough to buy it? After all, the PlayStation 2 saw a few years of new releases even after the PS3 came out simply because it was so popular. In fact, it’s still the console with the most units ever sold, at 153.5 million, and it was released in 2000.

Besides, the 360 and the PS3 are still machines with a bit more juice left to squeeze out. Graphics on both platforms continue to get better.

The potential has not been tapped and there’s no sense in building something new until Microsoft and Sony hit the wall.

Even then, how much better can it really get? Graphics already look pretty damn stunning and I can’t imagine them getting much better without looking like real life. And I don’t want them to look like real life. If I did, I’d simply stop playing games and spend all my time living real life. I wouldn’t need the escape, you see, and neither would many others.

ndiana state Sen. Vaneta Becker has proposed a bill that will fine any individual $25 for altering the lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

At first glance, you might think this is a joke, but Becker is adamant about the regulations of this bill, which will affect all events sponsored by public schools and state universities.

Realistically, how can anyone be expected to regulate and enforce this law in all public institutions?

Will special lyrics police officers be appointed to write you a ticket for mistakenly singing “and the rockets’ red flare”?

For Becker this is a subject that is not to be taken lightly. According to the Huffington Post, the bill would require schools to maintain a twoyear record of performances and have a protocol for dealing with “inappropriate” performances. The State Department of Education would determine what makes a performance “acceptable.”

The Indianapolis Star reported that the incident that inspired the legislation came from a constituent who told Becker that a local school program had parodied the words of the national anthem in a “disrespectful” way.

Even though the intention of the performance was all in good fun, Becker was not amused. She told the Star that, “I don’t think the national anthem is something we ought to be joking around with.” So, in typical political fashion, the only solution Becker could conceive was to take away another aspect of our freedom of speech, rather than consult the performers and express her concerns.

Part of the First Amendment is, “Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech.” So if passed, this bill would be in direct violation of the Bill of Rights. It’s our freedom as Americans to have our opinions and to say, or sing, what we want.

It is almost comical that Becker’s biggest concern as an Indiana senator is to deal with artists who are simply customizing the anthem to their surroundings in order to pump up the crowd. Steven Tyler did this exact thing when he substituted “home of the Indianapolis 500” for “home of the brave,” at the 2001 race. He was exercising his right to freedom of speech, and although it angered some people, it was still a right that the Constitution grants to everyone.

If performers are to be fined for altering the national anthem, then everyone who omits “under God” while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance should be fined as well because it’s also a national rhetoric icon.

You can’t start picking and choosing what Americans are allowed to say or sing. Taking away one aspect of freedom of speech can’t be done without consequences. Either way, Becker should concentrate on issues that will make a difference, rather than patrolling university gyms and stadiums for questionable renditions of a song.

he spring semester has only just begun, but UA students and faculty members are, as always, already planning for the next academic year. Residence Life is no different; incoming freshmen have been receiving their acceptance letters for the past few months, and current residents need to decide whether or not to live in the dorms next year before any new residents are guaranteed a room. For the sake of these new freshmen — and as a start to the general coming-ofage process — current residents should gracefully bow out, pack up and move out of their rooms for good this May.

community, they don’t connect with new residents on that same level.

Even with the two new residence halls and Coronado Residence Hall’s reopening, there will not be enough room for all freshmen to live in a dorm next year. According to the UA Fact Book, incoming freshman enrollment has been steadily increasing over the past five years, and this fall saw a freshman enrollment of 7,300. If every residence hall available for 2012-13 were filled to capacity, 6,640 undergraduate students could live on campus, including resident assistants. The two honors dorms, Árbol de la Vida and Yuma Residence Hall, can house 897 honors freshmen, further restricting housing for regular students.

Does it seem fair for someone to unnecessarily live in a dorm for multiple years when so many freshmen won’t get a chance to have the dorm experience at all?

Many residents choose to stay in the dorms for another year because they believe that they won’t find a reasonably priced apartment or rental that is close enough to campus.

Six apartment complexes located within a mile of campus — a reasonable walking or biking distance — advertised in the Student Insider magazine, and their listed rents were between $365 and $915 per month.

Renting one of these apartments may cost a bit more than a dorm room, but considering that apartment dwellers have more than 144 square feet to their name, the upgrade seems like a better deal for your money.

Eventually, everyone’s dorm experience will end. We will all graduate, and an easy living situation like the dorms won’t be available anymore. Everyone who takes a job will have to find a place to live that might cost more than they would like, and it probably won’t be conveniently located onsite. Rather than put off the search and keep new residents from having a place to live at all, try to find a place off campus. Enjoy the first year experience, but don’t overstay your welcome.

POLICE BEAT

By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT

Traffic stop yields underage drinkers

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol at 1:07 p.m. on Thursday when they noticed a silver Mazda heading north on Tyndall Avenue with its high beam lights on.

The officers pulled over the Mazda, which was occupied by two male UA students. As the officers approached the car, the students rolled down the windows. Both officers could smell alcohol from either side of the car. One officer asked the driver to step out of the car to test his alcohol level, while the passenger gave his identification to the other officer. The second officer noticed another form of ID in the student’s wallet and asked for that one as well. The officer saw the birthday had been changed to make the student appear older than 21. The students were charged with underage drinking and one of the students was charged for possessing a fictitious license.

Watch stolen from locker

UAPD officers went to McKale Center after a UA student-athlete reported a lost $300 DKNY watch on Thursday morning. She said she placed her watch in her personal locker before leaving the premises. There was no lock on the locker, but the room it was in required a passcode to enter. Officers investigated the door and the surrounding areas, but they did not come up with any evidence to show that the door had been forced open. There are no cameras in the area. The watch was black and made of ceramic and metal, with a big face surrounded by crystals. UAPD advised all athletes with lockers in the room to use locks on the lockers and to not bring valuable items into the room.

Sky View car theft

UAPD officers met with a student who said his 1995 Nissan Maxima had been stolen from the parking lot of the Sky View Apartments on Jan. 11. The student stated that he had parked his gold car at the apartment complex the day before. He did not know of any witnesses or suspects nor did he give anyone permission to take the car off of the premises. UAPD officers searched the surrounding areas for evidence and found a security camera. Officers also searched the surrounding streets for the car, but have not found it.

Ousted from Oregon State game

A heavily intoxicated UA student was thrown out of the Arizona men’s basketball game against Oregon State University on Thursday. UAPD officers went to McKale Center to examine the man, who was out front. The employees said the student was incoherent, slurring his words and had become combative toward surrounding students, which is why employees were forced to throw the student out. Officers interrogated the student and he admitted he had been drinking heavily before the game. Officers also noticed a strong smell of alcohol coming from his breath.

He was searched for alcohol, but officers did not find any. The student was cited and released, but was told not to enter the game again.

Women’s Resource Center Film Series Presents ‘Jane: An Abortion Service’ This fascinating political look at a littleknown chapter in women’s history tells the story of “Jane,” the Chicago-based women’s health group that performed nearly 12,000 safe illegal abortions between 1969 and 1973 with no formal medical training. As Jane members describe finding feminism and clients describe finding Jane, archival footage and recreations mingle to depict how the repression of the early 1960s and social movements of the late 1960s influenced this unique group. Both vital knowledge and meditation on the process of empowerment, “Jane: An Abortion Service” showcases the importance of preserving women’s knowledge in the face of revisionist history.

His early trips to the Yosemite wilderness in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s informed the stylistic approach that made him famous.

These treks included not only the physical activities of hiking, camping, and mountain climbing, but also social, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual elements. With forty photographs and supporting documents from the Ansel Adams Archive, Ansel Adams: The View from Here explores the relationship between Adams’s magical photographs of the American landscape both its panoramic vistas and its intimate details - and how he came to understand the importance of his natural environment.

Freshman guard comes on strong

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat Erin Butler, a freshman on the Arizona women’s basketball team, had been working hard in practice, trying to earn herself some playing time.

But after 16 games, that work hadn’t paid off. She had only played in eight of the team’s game, and that’s without missing any time with an injury.

Simply put, Butler is a freshman, and playing time is hard to come by in Arizona’s lineup. At least, it was before Thursday in Eugene, Ore., when the Wildcats faced Oregon.

Butler entered the game with 13:17 remaining in the first half.

Minutes later, she nailed a 3-pointer. Then another. And another.

And another. She kept making them until the end of the game, when she finished with 23 points on 7-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc.

“It felt good, it was good to get in,” said Butler, who had only 13 points on the season before Saturday’s game. “I took advantage of my opportunities so it was nice.”

Despite her lack of playing time, Butler’s teammates and coach didn’t seem surprised by her breakout game. Junior guard Davellyn Whyte was more flabbergasted by how the Ducks responded to the freshman’s hot shooting.

Miller takes Arizona hoops back to basics The Wildcats are going back to the fundamentals after turnover-heavy weekend

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat The Wildcats may have to turn to ball-handling drills, the three-man weave and George Mikan layup drills like it’s fifth-grade summer camp if they continue to fail to execute the fundamentals of the game.

Arizona head coach Sean Miller is willing to pull out all the stops to get Arizona right.

“I’m going to try a couple different things,” Miller said. “One of the things that I’ve really grown fond of, and I’ve never tried is, I know football coaches roll their players like a log. I’ve heard that that really works.”

“I wonder if you rolled them on a basketball court what would happen,” he continued sarcastically. “We’re willing to try anything at this point.”

No fundamental lapse has been more disheartening to Miller than Arizona’s turnovers.

UA’s lackadaisical offensive play has resulted in an average of 15.2 turnovers per contest during

Last five Vs. Oregon: 15 turnovers Vs. Oregon State: 13 turnovers At USC: 17 turnovers At UCLA: 16 turnovers Vs. ASU: 15 turnovers Average: 15.2 turnovers per game

will eventually come around, according to Miller, the turnovers need to be addressed immediately.

“It’s hard to have fun doing anything in college basketball when your team is as inept at taking care of the ball as we have become,” Miller said. “I watch a lot of basketball and I don’t see a lot of teams doing what we do.”

Miller spent the majority of his Tuesday press conference sarcastically explaining his team’s Will Ferguson / Daily Wildcat inability to take care of the ball in simple, elementary school-level terms, as if he were adFreshman guard Josiah Turner has a layup attempt blocked against Oregon on Saturday.

The former collegiate point guard wore his frustrations on his sleeve, and rightfully so. Arizona turned the ball over 10 times in the first half against Oregon, resulting in 22 first-half points and a 12-point deficit it couldn’t climb out of.

The Wildcats’ turnover problems date back to the start of Pac-12 play. Arizona handed it over to ASU 15 times, UCLA 16 times, USC 17 times and Oregon State 13 times.

To put those numbers in perspective, if those 15.2 turnovers were the Wildcats’ season average, they would sit at 259th in the NCAA right in front of Florida International, Central Connecticut State and St. Bonaventure.

“We’re not striking fear in anyone right now,” Miller said.

He went on to say that his team will now run after committing turnovers in practice. Playing time will also be contingent on taking care of the ball, among other things.

But if that’s not enough for his three-guard, two-forward starting lineup, which should be more than capable of taking care of the ball, he may have to dumb things down even more before the Wildcats take on Utah and Colorado this weekend.

‘What if?’ question surrounding UA’s Parrom

By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat Sean Miller knew that it would be a long road for junior Kevin Parrom to return to his former self after suffering a series of tragedies before and during the 2011-2012 season.

Parrom’s maternal grandmother died over the summer. The junior was then shot in the hand and the knee in late September of 2011 at his father’s apartment in New York City. And if that combination wasn’t enough, emotional trauma was added by the death of his mother three weeks later.

“I don’t know if anyone can really walk in his shoes,” Miller said.

“It’s tough enough to deal with one

of those three things, let alone all three of them.”

On Dec. 1, 2011, Miller said he considered it “fortunate” that Parrom was back on the court at all. A month later, Miller was less optimistic about what Parrom could contribute.

“I don’t think, unfortunately for Kevin, that he’ll ever get this year to where we anticipated him being,” Miller said.

And then on Tuesday, Miller questioned if the junior should have returned at all this season.

“Kevin hasn’t contributed very much to this year’s team,” Miller said. “We’re just trying to get the Janice Biancavilla / Daily Wildcat most out of him that we can, which Head coach Sean Miller said that redshirting UA forward Kevin Parrom may have isn’t much to this point. been the right decision after he was shot last September in New York.

“In hindsight, none of us had a crystal ball and we don’t know what the future holds, but a redshirt, you could make the argument, may have served him well.”

Understandably, Parrom’s numbers haven’t stood out on the Wildcats’ stat sheet this season, leading to lots of “What if?” questions and wondering what this year’s Arizona team would look like with a healthy Parrom.

Miller said that he would have expected Parrom to be on the same level of fellow junior Solomon Hill had it not been for the shooting.

dribble is something that my son Braden knows. You dribble once, you can’t dribble twice. If you take the ball out of bounds with three seconds to go before the end of the half, you always got to watch throwing it to the other team. You want to catch the ball with two hands.”

• “We have a couple of guys that I think if they

were catching a frisbee right now they would be 1-for-3, 1-for-4 every time that thing came out of the air.”

• “We can’t catch the ball right now when the weather’s warm. I can only imagine when the air is thin. You wonder if a double dribble is going to happen or guys are going to move their pivot foot because the air is thinner.”

• “Layups, we want to make them.”

“For some reason — I don’t know why — they weren’t really guarding her after she made about three,” Whyte said. “So me and (starting guard) Shanita (Arnold) just kept feeding her the ball and she kept knocking them down.”

Of course, head coach Niya Butts wasn’t happy that Arizona wasn’t able to pull out a victory — it lost to Oregon by a score of 87-73 — but Butler was definitely a bright spot in what was an otherwise downtrodden game.

“To come in having not played in the last six or seven games and really make a huge impact on our offensive end was huge,” Butts said. “Not only that, (but) she hit a huge shot at Oregon State. Erin made the most of her minutes.”

Butler doesn’t shy away from her role in Arizona’s offense — one that features a pair of dynamic guards and a 6-foot-5 center. “I’m an outside shooter,” she said.

HE READS THE DAILY WILDCAT. YOU SHOULD, TOO.

Beyond the international scene, Shinde competed in tournaments in New York, California, Iowa, Florida, New Jersey and Kentucky. Various universities heavily recruited him, including Illinois, Purdue, and George Washington University.

But Arizona stood out above the rest, at least in Shinde’s eyes, thanks mostly to the UA’s campus and Tucson’s weather.

“I was here on a recruiting trip and I liked this place,” he said. “I also liked the team and the coaches. Not to mention

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

the university’s reputation and the fact it is in a very good conference made me decide on this university.”

Shinde plans to study business at the UA, and beyond a life consumed by schoolwork and tennis, Shinde said he enjoys playing soccer, watching action movies like “Saving Private Ryan,” listening to Linkin Park, and reading.

Shinde also adds another cultural dynamic to an already diverse tennis team.

He’s the sixth foreigner to join Arizona from abroad, joining players from Taiwan, Romania, Italy, Australia and Brazil.

“I know Colorado can wear gray sometimes but I’ll make sure that our guys understand that gray and blue is different,” Miller said. “We want to throw it to that blue team.”

Miller’s players say they understand the turnover woes, it’s just a matter of correcting them.

“Guys definitely have to do a better job of taking care of the ball, myself included,” said Kyle Fogg.

“Older guys like me and (Brendon Lavender) and Solomon (Hill) and Jesse (Perry), we especially have to take care of the ball just to show these younger guys how important it is. I think that’s when our offense will really take over.”

progression, that really should be Kevin’s progression,” Miller said.

Parrom’s averaging of four points and 2.6 rebounds per game is much closer to his freshman year averages than the numbers he put up as a sophomore, but it’s Parrom’s ability to play multiple positions with Arizona’s smaller lineup in place where he’s still a factor.

The junior still has to work to get his minutes back up. Parrom averaged 20 minutes per game in 2011, compared to a 15 minutes per game average this year.

Senior Brendon Lavender called Parrom’s smaller role in the rotation “a huge factor.”

“He’s a great player.” Lavender said. “He gets a lot of rebounds for us and he pushed the ball well and he shoots the ball well.”

But despite the regression, Parrom still has a lot to contribute to the Wildcats this year, even in a decreased role. Lavender said he’s been able to tell Parrom is working to get back to his former self in practice, but it’s during the game that Arizona

Brisbane, Australia. “He’s a friendly guy but an aggressive player. The longer he’s around the more he will bond with the team.”

But while Shinde brings a lot to the table socially, he’s ultimately at Arizona to play tennis, and he has just one goal in mind for the season — for the team to finish as highly ranked as possible by playing its best tennis.

“Sumeet has a game that can hang with the top players,” Berkowitz said.

“His serve is a weapon and he likes to attack the court. Not only will this help our singles lineup, but it will also add an important component to our doubles lineup.”

Kevin hasn’t contributed very much to this year’s team. We’re just trying to get the most out of him that we can, which isn’t much at this point.

“It’s huge, anytime that you have players that are willing to pull the trigger and that can knock them down,” Butts said. “It spreads things out. The thing is, when you can shoot the ball really well, it always adds another dimension to your team.”

Butler has her work cut out for her going forward. She said she knows her play in practice is what brought her the opportunity to break out to the tune of 23 points.

And with injured guard Candice Warthen due to come back in the near future, Butler knows her minutes are still going to be based on how she practices, despite her breakout game against the Ducks.

But if Butler keeps performing in limited action, Butts might have to reconsider.

By Savannah Martin DAILY WILDCAT

A group of UA students traveled to Peru this winter to volunteer with Vive Peru, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to Peruvian communities and fosters cross-cultural understanding.

The Vive Peru program was established in order to create sustainable projects and long-term initiatives in Peru. The program relies primarily on volunteers who work as medical assistants, teachers, social workers and engineers.

The volunteers landed in Lima, Peru, then traveled to Trujillo, a city of more than 800,000 people located on the Northern Peruvian coast.

One of the first activities the volunteers participated in once they reached their work site was the Chocolatada, a Christmas celebration with the surrounding community. According to Moedano, the volunteers brought toys and other gifts to wrap and give to the local children. Some even brought an entire suitcase filled with toys, she said.

During the Chocolatada, the volunteers, children and community members sang songs, made Christmas cards and drank hot chocolate, Moedano said. One of the volunteers donned a Santa Claus costume and distributed gifts.
