SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899

HART IN AS PRESIDENT

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Arizona Board of Regents appointed Ann Weaver Hart to be the next UA president, effective July 1, at its meeting on Friday.

The board conducted a national search to fill the position, creating a 23-member committee and 27-member Search Committee Advisory Council to aid in doing so. The committees included UA faculty, regents, student leaders and community leaders to provide input on qualities they sought in the next president. A website also allowed individuals to ask questions

about the search process and find information about the status of the search.

“Dr. Hart has a record of success in areas we need so much,” said Regent Dennis DeConcini, a co-chair of the search committee.

DeConcini said that during her time as president of Temple University, Hart dealt with medical schools, intercity development and diversity, in addition to budget cuts.

“She will bring a new direction, keeping in mind the importance of shared governance, inclusion and the ability to make decisions,” DeConcini said.

Hart thanked the co-chairs of the search committee for their hard

work, and said she was “entranced” by the opportunity to become the UA’s president after seeing the board and search committee’s commitment to the UA’s future.

“Every person I’ve ever met got a phone call,” she said, laughing. “It was a serious search. I cannot tell you how honored I am to be your next president.”

Hart is now the UA’s 21st president, and the first female president in the university’s 126-year history. The UA will be the third institution where Hart has been president, following six years at Temple and four at the University of New Hampshire.

She was also the provost and vice president of academic affairs at

Claremont Graduate University.

The search committee looked at more than 80 candidate prospects, though more than 100 people were nominated for the position. Hart will serve as president from July 1 to June 30, 2015, with an annual salary of $475,000. Her contract also includes a housing and car allowance, a reimbursement for moving expenses and a transition expense payment of $100,000 from non-university funds.

In comparison, interim President Eugene Sander received an annual salary of $425,000 during his time as COLIN DARLAND / DAILY WILDCAT president.

Gayle Minas, a UA alumna, said she was in town this weekend to see her son and daughter and that this kind of event is a good, positive thing to do. She enjoyed the rodeo because she grew up around horses, she said.

Minas accompanied her daughter, Natalie, who is a sophomore studying family studies and human development. Natalie Minas said

In order to protect conservative professors, one Arizona lawmaker has proposed a bill that would make it illegal for universities to discriminate on the basis of political belief.

The proposed legislation, House Bill 2770, says faculty members should be hired, fired, promoted or tenured because of their competence and expertise, not because of where they stand politically. Rep. Tom Forese, a Republican from District 21 and the chairman of the committee on higher education, innovation and reform, said he proposed the bill to protect professors who told him they felt marginalized.

“When an instructor had conflicting views with his or her peers, they felt the need to keep those views a secret in order to obtain tenure or promotion,” he said, adding that many of the professors who voiced this concern were politically conservative. “I don’t know that I really have the answer to exactly how it plays out (implementing the bill), but my hope is that we’re fostering a better environment where people can share their ideas and not be persecuted for them.”

If passed, the bill would add

HORSING AROUND 87th annual Tucson Rodeo attracts spectators worldwide, benefits local economy

For the next week, the Tucson Rodeo will add a touch of the Old West to the Old Pueblo.

The 87th annual Tucson Rodeo opened on Saturday at the Tucson Rodeo Grounds. The Tucson Rodeo attracts between 50,000 to 70,000 attendants a year, according to Joe Salazar, the head of marketing and promotions, adding that the stadium can seat about 10,000 people

UA Engineering clubs and organizations are getting ready to compete with one another for a chance to win a first-place trophy during E-Week.

E-Week, which is held at the same time as National Engineers Week, is a weeklong competition that provides challenges and outreach opportunities for engineering students. The UA Engineering Student Council organized the events, which began Friday with an opening ceremony at the Engineering building.

“I actually think that every week

a day.

Salazar said the entire rodeo association made $40 million last year, but in Tucson it just broke even.

Most of the money made from the rodeo goes back to the community.

“We give a lot of our money away to charity,” Salazar said. “We also have a foundation at the university.”

The foundation is an endowment that issues scholarships for agricultural students. The rodeo also gives money to the Lions Club, rotary clubs, and high school

is Engineers Week,” said Jeff Goldberg, dean for the College of Engineering, in his speech at the opening ceremony. “In fact, in no point in the last 100 years have engineers been more prominent to the public (than recently).”

E-Week events will last until this Saturday and end with a closing ceremony in the School of Music’s Crowder Hall at 5 p.m. There, engineering clubs and organizations competing in E-Week will be ranked based on their performance during events and community service projects.

“In previous years, it was more focused on the competition,” said Jose

athletic teams around Tucson.

Salazar added that most of the clubs and organizations get money from the rodeo because they help promote and produce the event.

Additionally, money goes toward helping contestants cover medical expenses if they were to get hurt.

Salazar said he has been riding horses all his life, although he has never been in a rodeo. He said he enjoyed working at the rodeo because “there are a wide variety of people” who help produce the

Estrada, a systems engineering junior and president of the UA Engineering Student Council. “This year we’re really emphasizing community outreach and community service events.”

This year, more than a dozen UA engineering clubs and organizations will participate in E-Week. One new aspect to the event is that clubs can earn points by organizing community outreach programs, in addition to winning them during scheduled challenges. Some of the programs planned so far include helping build homes and teaching children about engineering in schools around Tucson.

“It is important for engineering

students because it brings about awareness, not only at the UA, but in the community, to show that engineers are important to our society,” Estrada said. “We also hope to show a younger generation that engineering is cool and could be a career path.”

Over the weekend, the Engineering Student Council, along with Women in Science, Engineering and Technology and Tau Beta Pi hosted a volleyball tournament and scavenger hunt.

Today, the events continue with a talent show in Room 214 of the Engineering building from 1 p.m. to

If professors feel marginalized in the employment process, they can bring their complaints to the Office of Institutional Integrity or the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure, which protects the UA’s academic freedom policy.

At its core, academic freedom promotes “open inquiry and expression by faculty and students,” the policy says.

“We have one of the most powerful statements of academic freedom in the country,” said Roy Spece, a professor in the James E. Rogers College of Law. “But you have to have some courage and fortitude to uphold academic freedom and stand up for your beliefs.”

Discrimination can take place at any university, Spece said, and it may take place at the UA as well. But the UA has internal mechanisms for handling discrimination, and if professors feel sidelined because of their politics, they need to come forward rather than report discrimination to state legislators, he said.

“I think it (the bill) would be anoth-

er black mark on our state,” Spece said. “These professors won’t have any greater reason to stop being cowards just because this law is passed.”

Kevin R. Kemper, an assistant professor and the diversity initiative coordinator in the School of Journalism, also pointed out that the UA has ways for faculty to address discrimination.

“I think maybe the question then is do those ways work, does that process work?” he asked.

Kemper, a member of the Libertarian party, is a tenure track professor. While he said he doesn’t feel his job is jeopardized because of his conservative views, he could understand why conservative

professors might want to be protected.

“I don’t feel like I’m pressured because of what I believe, but I do think what I believe puts me in a position where I have to work extra hard to justify my ideas,” he said.

The bill, however, has the potential to create more problems than it would solve, Kemper added.

“It just could create a mess where all a professor who doesn’t get tenure has to do is say, ‘Oh, well it’s because of my political beliefs,’” he said. “Part of maturing as an academic is you learn to stand on what you believe. That’s part of maturing as an individual.”

Santorum says he does not question president’s faith MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Sunday denied questioning President Barack Obama’s Christian faith but said the president has an environmental belief “that elevates the Earth above man.”

Santorum was quoted Saturday as telling an audience in Ohio that although he accepts the president’s Christianity, he believes Obama adheres to “some phony theology. Not a theology based on the Bible. A different theology.”

Asked to explain on the CBS program “Face the Nation,” Santorum framed the issue as a disagreement over global warming and how “radical environmentalists” care for the Earth.

“I accept the fact that the president’s a Christian,” he said. “I just said that when you have a world view that elevates the Earth above man, and says that, you know, we can’t take those resources because we’re going to harm the Earth by things that frankly are just not scientifically proven, like for example that politicization of the whole global warming debate, this is just all an attempt to centralize power, to give more power to the government.

“I’m talking about the belief that man

should be in charge of the Earth and should have dominion over it and should be good stewards of it.”

An adviser to Obama’s re-election campaign took issue with Santorum’s initial comments, saying on ABC’s “This Week” that the Republican candidate went “well over the line” in his comments about the president’s theology.

Former White House spokesman

Robert Gibbs said it is time “to get rid of this mind set in our politics that, if we disagree, we have to question character and faith.”

Santorum was criticized last month when he did not correct a woman in Florida who told him that Obama is “an avowed Muslim.” He was later quoted as saying that it wasn’t his job to correct such assertions.

Networking fuels painkiller boom MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MILWAUKEE — Prescriptions for narcotic painkillers soared so much over the last decade that by 2010 enough were being dispensed to medicate every adult in the United States around the clock for a month.

Behind that surge was a network of pain organizations, doctors and researchers that pushed for expanded use of the drugs while taking in millions of dollars from the companies that made them, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today investigation found.

Last year, the newspaper found that a University of Wisconsin-based organization in Madison had been a national force in helping liberalize how opioids are prescribed and viewed. While pushing a pharmaceutical industry agenda that critics say was not supported by rigorous science, the UW Pain & Policy Studies Group took in $2.5 million over a decade from opioid companies.

After the story ran in April, the UW Pain group said it had decided to stop taking money from the drug industry.

But the UW group is just one link in a network of national organizations and researchers with financial connections to the makers of narcotic painkillers that paved the way for the boom in prescribing drugs such as OxyContin and Vicodin.

Beginning 15 years ago, the network helped create a body of dubious information that can be found in prescribing guidelines, patient literature, position statements, books and doctor education courses, all which favored drugs known

as opioid analgesics.

Doctors say the increased use sprang from research that showed the drugs were safe and effective for short-term pain, such as after surgery, as well as cancer and end-of-life pain. Without rigorous research, they say, those beliefs then were applied to a much larger population of people with long-term pain, such as low back pain and fibromyalgia.

With millions of Americans suffering real pain that can last for years and thousands of doctors wanting to help them, it was a situation ripe for the influence of the pharmaceutical industry, said Mark Sullivan, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Washington.

By 2010, those companies were selling four times as many prescription painkillers to pharmacies, doctors’ offices and hospitals than in 1999, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Led by OxyContin, sales on prescriptions of opioid drugs totaled $8.4 billion in 2011, up from $5.8 billion in 2006, according to data supplied by IMS Health, a drug market research company.

“We’ve never really exposed so many people to so much drug for so long,” Sullivan said. “We don’t really know what the long-term results are.”

A band of doctors who get little or no money from opioid makers has begun to challenge the hype behind the drugs.

They say pharmaceutical industry clout has caused doctors to go overboard in prescribing the drugs, leading to addiction, thousands of overdose deaths each

year and other serious complications.

Several of the pain industry’s core beliefs about chronic pain and opioids are not supported by sound research, the Journal Sentinel/MedPage Today investigation found. Among them: —The risk of addiction is low in patients with prescriptions.

—There is no unsafe maximum dose of the drugs.

—The concept of “pseudoaddiction.”

That concept holds those who display addictive behavior, such as seeking more drugs or higher doses, may not be actual addicts — they are people who need even more opioids to treat their pain.

Even some doctors who have financial relationships with companies that make narcotic painkillers concede that the practice of pain medicine got ahead of the science.

Lynn Webster, a Utah pain specialist who has worked as a consultant and adviser to most of the companies that make opioids, said: “We overshot our mark, all well-intended, I believe. We certainly have a lot of reverse education that needs to occur.”

Some chronic pain sufferers do benefit from the drugs, said Webster, an officer of the American Academy of Pain Medicine.

“The problem is pain is complex,” he said. “There is a whole family of opioids, and we have not figured out how to best identify the individuals who can benefit long-term.

“I don’t think industry was trying to harm anyone. I think industry was trying to fill a need that we as physicians saw.”

Occupy protests worth teaching Megan Hurley Daily Wildcat

T

he Occupy movement is a part of history, and deserves a place in the educational curriculum.

Professors already get to teach about social revolutions whether students agree with their politics or not. The Occupy movement is no different.

According to USA Today, the Occupy movement is beginning to appear in universities with “new course offerings and a new focus in older ones.”

The Occupy movement has been criticized for its lack of a clear agenda, but it has made a huge impact on American society. After beginning in New York City in September 2011, the Occupy movement spread across the nation. People continue to protest during a time of economic struggle and class polarization.

This is enough to warrant classes on the matter. Just because the Occupy protesters did not send out easy-to-read objective lists does not mean that they were not influential.

It is also worth noting that the Occupy movement was partly inspired by the Arab Spring, and has grown to be an international protest of economic and social inequality. There is a global significance to the Occupy movement, transcending just domestic affairs. A course about such connections can simultaneously teach sociology and international relations.

USA Today reported that New York University is offering “Cultures and Economics: Why Occupy Wall Street? The History and Politics of Debt and Finance.”

While this is an example of why the Occupy movement is worth talking about in same sentence as economics, it also brings up the most important question: Why? The foundations of learning are built on curiosity. Why did two countries go to war? Why does this chemical have this reaction in this setting? Why doesn’t x equal y? Asking why the Occupy movement happened not only brings up many questions about the economy and the class system, but also about the beginning of the 21st century.

Part of going to college and getting a quality education is asking, “Why?” on a global scale and right here in a student’s own backyard. Why did the Occupy movement come to Tucson?

That is a question that colleges should answer. Politics and disagreements over how to answer “Why?” do not deserve a place in education. Just getting the facts helps students understand the world they are getting ready to enter.

Knowledge of recent history, like the rise and spread of the Occupy movement, will help graduates understand what is relevant. It is important to examine history, but an understanding of current events is also vital to develop critical thinking skills and prepare for life post-college.

If politicians are still fighting about a topic, the controversy is worth understanding. Whether from Tucson or Manhattan, students deserve a quality education about current events, and that means acknowledging the lessons of the 99 percent.

Contraceptive debate lacks individual choice Danielle Carpenter Daily Wildcat

T

he debate over President Barack Obama’s newest health care plans is once again in the spotlight. Under the law, all church-run schools, charities and hospitals will be required to provide “preventive services” for free. This includes vaccines, routine screenings and mammograms, and, starting this year, birth control pills, IUDs and other contraceptives.

Those who make the personal choice to have sex, whether they are a member of the church or not, should have contraceptives freely available to them. Allowing the members of these groups to be able to have safe sex without breaking the bank is a fabulous idea.

The church, however, is outraged. It considers some contraceptives to be “abortioninducing drugs,” and feels that

requiring religious organizations to provide access to them violates the First Amendment’s guarantee of religious freedom.

Just because people are members of a particular sect of the Catholic Church doesn’t mean they always abide by the Catholic rules and wait until marriage to have sex.

“Religious freedom is guaranteed to the individual, and 98 percent of American women use contraception at some time in their lives,” Judy Waxman of the National Women’s Law Center told the Los Angeles Times. “And that is true for Catholics as well.”

Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan disagreed, saying that the church shouldn’t have “to act as if pregnancy is a disease to be prevented at all costs.”

What an extreme reaction.

People don’t think pregnancy is a disease; there is just a proper time in one’s life for it to happen.

The church is being naive if it thinks that its members will only have sex if they can get contraceptives for free.

“

Religious freedom is guaranteed to the individual, and 98 percent of American women use contraception at some time in their lives.

“

­— Judy Waxman National Women’s Law Center

People are able to make the personal choice to have sex.

These people may be affiliated with the church, but the church should not make the assumption the members have completely devoted themselves to the Catholic faith’s rules.

Just because these options are available does not mean anyone is advocating pre-marital sex.

Police Beat

‘Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay’ bust for baseball players

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a call made by a resident assistant at Villa del Puente Residence Hall about students drinking and partying in the dorm on Wednesday night at 10:30. A student said she was walking down the hall and heard multiple people in the room and “smelled spiritous liquor.”

UAPD officers arrived and saw a box of chardonnay. The officers asked who the residents of the room were and two men raised their hands. The officers asked the two if they had been drinking and if they were feeling the effects of the wine, and they responded that they were “a little buzzed.”

The officer asked why they were drinking and the students replied, “Because it’s wine Wednesday.” The students said they purchased the wine from Safeway on Broadway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue and the cashier had never asked to see their identification. Both of the students admitted to having about a glass and a half of the wine. The two students, both members of the UA baseball team, were arrested and cited for minor in possession.

Fiji three meets UAPD

An officer pulling out of UAPD headquarters at 11:15 p.m. on Wednesday saw three women walking out of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, stumbling, laughing and getting into a taxi cab. The officer pulled over the cab and asked to speak to the girls. The officer asked if they had been drinking tonight and where. The girls replied, “We had only three to four shots of vodka and we came from the Fiji house.”

The officer noted that their speech was slurred, that they had trouble identifying themselves and that their breath smelled strongly of alcohol. The officer checked their identification and saw that all three were underage. They were arrested and cited for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

Vandal has S-O-L-E purpose

UAPD officers were on patrol around the Sky View Apartments on Wednesday at 9:15 p.m. and noticed fresh graffiti paint on the south-facing brick wall. It was blue and purple paint that spelled out S-O-L-E with a man’s face detailed with hair and wrinkles. The entire graffiti was about 8 feet high and 8 feet wide.

The officers took photos, then called the university maintenance crew about the graffiti. Police inspected the surrounding areas but were unable to find the spray cans or any suspects.

Texan Gary Clark Jr. strums his guitar in a live performance. Clark makes the old new, with allusions to the past with his blues sound.

BURNING UP THE BLUES Guitar virtuoso Gary Clark Jr. gives his views on his craft, his writing and the Texas sound

By K.C. Libman Daily Wildcat

It seems to happen every 15 years. Blues legends arise with a white-hot ferocity and stake their claim in the storied history of guitar players. A short list of these archetypes consists of Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jonny Lang. Armed with a hollow body guitar and a Fender Vibro-King amp, Gary Clark Jr. is the next in line to claim the throne with a mix of pure blues ideals infused with R&B inflections. Clark’s forthcoming album is highly anticipated by the guitar community for the blazing virtuosity that he displayed at the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival, yet he should be just as equally sought after by the public. His style is infectious, brilliant and driven by feeling rather than traditional discipline. In rebranding the past, Gary Clark Jr. is ahead of his time. Check him out, get hooked and get ahead of the curve.

Daily Wildcat: It’s been said by more than one outlet that you’re being branded as this “new guitar god.” What kind of pressure does that put on your songwriting, and is it subsequently shaping the album’s direction?

Gary Clark Jr.: I don’t really pay much attention to all of that. A lot of it is flattering, no doubt, but I just do what I do. I don’t know that it really influences anything on the album because I’m just working on putting some stuff that’s cool out there, regardless of who is or is not paying attention. It’s just what I’m feeling and I’m grateful to anyone who’s feeling it too.

etc. We’re likely going to see this new, young crop of blues artists here soon who are going to be influenced by artists like you and The Black Keys.

Do you feel that it’s necessary for a blues musician to start with the roots of the genre in order to be well-rounded, instead of just taking in this modern take on the blues?

It’s not really for me to say, because I don’t really understand these categories to begin with. I listen to everything from Outkast to Nirvana to Joni Mitchell.

Any outside stimulus influences us all in any capacity.

What we’re exposed to will undoubtedly influence what we do or don’t do in some way.

But to answer your question directly, I don’t see how any of it is necessary. If you’re a musician or a listener, you should go with what you’re feeling, the vibe of it all, not because you’re supposed to do one thing or another. Everyone is different, and likes different things, so I would just encourage people in general to just explore until you find what you like.

You seem to have an affinity for the Epiphone Casino, particularly the red one from Crossroads and the “Bright Lights” video. Where does that relationship with that guitar come from?

That hollow body just does something for me. The moment I picked it up I knew it was for me. I love swimming in all of that feedback and in between frequencies. It takes on a whole life of its own.

The Crossroads Guitar Festival seems like that defining moment where a guitarist has really made it.

You’ve got these guys like Eric Clapton, Robert Cray and Derek Trucks just sitting offstage watching you — not to mention the 20,000 fans. How did that change your outlook on your musical career?

Again, I just continue to do what I’m feeling whether people are listening or not. I’m grateful for the opportunity to play in front of such a huge crowd as well as with cats I’ve been looking up to in one way or another most of my life. The experience was truly a blessing.

How do you achieve that really saturated tone that you get? It’s really heavy on the bass but your highs still cut through well. It almost seems that you’re starting to define a sound that is your own, much in the vein of Santana and John Mayer.

It kind of goes back to your question about the Casino. I just love that thick, full-bodied feel to it all. It moves in waves that you can almost see, and definitely feel if you’re paying close enough attention. I don’t know where it comes from, it just does its own thing: living, breathing. It doesn’t belong to me, I don’t own it, it’s its own thing.

I think it’s quite the opposite too. It’s really not I know some of your influences are really seminal something that can be defined. A lot of folks really try to — Lightnin’ Hopkins, the Alberts (King and Collins), put things in these categories but it doesn’t make sense

when it’s something that’s so free by nature.

East Texas is a hotbed for brilliant blues musicians and the venues that they play — Austin having the Vaughan brothers, Fort Worth for guys like James Hinkle and Freddie Cisernos, places like the Bluebird. It’s an almost palpable sensation when you’re hearing a Texas bluesman play. Would you agree that there’s a Texan blues sound?

I don’t know, it’s sort of like water in a river. It’s all part of this bigger thing. There’s definitely certain similarities that can emerge but I think it has more to do with folks vibin’ off each other. Things can run together at times, and Texas does have a lot of history that takes sound in different directions whether it’s Jimmie, Willie, Stevie, Bun-B, or Waylon. I guess when I think about Texas music, I just think about diversity all around.

There’s this mainstream idea that the blues is this concrete genre, driven by distortion and thundering rhythm sections. However, you still retain the emotion of your songs on acoustic takes like “When My Train Pulls In.” Given the context of the blues, do you feel that simplicity, both melodically and lyrically, is the best way to convey emotion?

It’s not as though I sit there and consciously think that it needs to be this way or that way when it comes to melodies or lyrics. There is that saying that less is more at times. I just try to convey what I’m feeling at the time and just go from there.

Your songwriting incorporates a lot of these big major sounds such as inverted major fifths, dominant 7/9ths and other Hendrix-esque choices.

Were these the result of utilizing music theory or just Hendrix-by-osmosis?

My sister studied music theory, so she understood all of that major/minor stuff. I just picked up a guitar and started playing riffs that I liked to hear. That’s where it has come from more than anything.

What’s your goal with the new album, for both your message to listeners and musically? Can we expect as much R&B influence as classic blues styling?

Right now, my goal is to finish the album. I hope there’s going to be something in there for everyone, whether folks are into rock, soul, R&B, pop, electronic or even country.

What would you ultimately like to achieve with your musical career in terms of your effect on your fans?

I just want to continue doing what I do, and I hope that people out there can relate to it even if it’s just for a moment. If people feel it at all in any capacity, that’s good enough for me.

UW swats picks wildcats staff With a win against Washington on Saturday, the Wildcats would have all but secured their fate as an at-large bid to the big dance. But Arizona’s loss earned it a front-row seat on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Thanks to its strong RPI, the UA can still get in without winning the Pac-12 Tournament. If the Wildcats beat USC, UCLA and ASU and win two games in the conference tournament, they should hear their name called on Selection Sunday.

n Pac-12 Conference basketball, there’s one game that’s better than the rest.

It’s more hard-fought. There’s more riding on the outcome. It’s more competitive. The players and fans care more. It has postseason implications and the series has had a slew of iconic moments in just the last 366 days.

It’s Arizona against Washington — a game that has also become the best rivalry in the Pac-12.

Gone are the days when Lute Olson would take Arizona to Pauley Pavilion for a showdown between top-ranked teams. James Harden isn’t walking into Wells Fargo Arena and giving ASU fans hope that the Sun Devils might actually be relevant in the college basketball world someday. Maples Pavilion is now filled with as many Arizona fans as Stanford fans when the once-rivals meet in Palo Alto, Calif.

The Honda Center was literally half full when UCLA hosted Arizona on Jan. 5. Even Los Angeles fans are capable of filling seats for a game they consider a rivalry.

But McKale Center is at its finest when the Huskies roll into Tucson — especially when the game is on a national stage, as it has been the past two seasons. Hec Edmundson Pavilion has been as hostile toward Arizona as any venue in America.

Three of the last four games between the Huskies and Wildcats have come down to the game’s last play, each producing a moment that won’t leave the minds of fans of either team in the near future.

There’s Derrick Williams’ block.

Then Isaiah Thomas’ “cold-blooded” 3-pointer, as Gus Johnson described it. There’s Solomon Hill shooting 90 percent from the field, scoring 28 points and hitting a game tying 3-pointer with 6.9 seconds to play.

Then there’s Tony Wroten’s game winning block of Josiah Turner. And Wroten’s posterization of freshman forward Angelo Chol.

But raucous crowds and iconic moments alone don’t make a rivalry.

The games are entertaining. They pit the conference’s two most athletic teams against each other. Washington plays its best basketball of the season against Arizona year after year.

“I think when we play them, it’s like playing ourselves in a way,” Washington guard Terrence Ross said on Saturday. “It’s always a fun matchup.”

The two teams play an up-anddown style that is, for lack of a better word, fun to watch.

And then there’s the final — and most important — ingredient to creating a long-lasting rivalry: The games actually mean something.

Final prediction: UA makes the NCAA Tournament — Mike Schmitz

While Saturday’s loss at Washington didn’t help Arizona’s NCAA Tournament chances, it didn’t really hurt them either.

Very few people expected the Wildcats to win in Seattle, but now Arizona’s margin for error is razor-thin. If the UA drops a game to either USC, UCLA or ASU, its at-large chances are out the window. But if Arizona can take care of business against those three and avoid an upset in its first game of the Pac-12 Tournament, the Wildcats will get to break out their dancing shoes for the second consecutive year.

Then there’s Tony Wroten. The freshman is a load at 6-foot-5, 205 pounds. He’s physical enough to finish with contact yet quick enough to beat opposing point guards off of the dribble.

Between Ross and Wroten, the Huskies will be tough to contain in March.

“The combination of Terrence Ross and Tony Wroten is really a 1-2 punch that you have to be ready to deal with because tonight they were terrific,” Miller said after the game.

Baseball takes two of three Women’s hoops in season’s opening series can’t close after

leading at half

By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

After a rough outing on Saturday, the No. 5 Arizona baseball team bounced back on Sunday to finish off its opening weekend with a series win against the visiting North Dakota State Bison, 8-0.

“I’m happy to see us score some runs, it had been a little struggle,” head coach Andy Lopez said. “It wasn’t a great weekend, but when you win two out of three, it’s always a good one.”

The series started off well on Friday night as pre-season All-American Kurt Heyer pitched seven solid innings, striking seven out and allowing only one run in the Wildcats’ season debut at Hi Corbett Field.

Offensively, Arizona was led by sophomore Johnny Field, who went 4-for-4 on the night and was just a homer away from the cycle.

Field finished with a single, two doubles and a triple.

The Arizona women’s basketball team played arguably its best game of the season against Washington State on Thursday, winning by 39 points. Sunday against the Washington Huskies, however, the Wildcats (14-13, 3-12 Pac-12) were unable to keep the same pace in a 68-59 loss.

The Wildcats shot just 18-for-60 from the field, 4-of-25 from 3-point range and were outrebounded 4836. The Washington duo of Regina Rogers and Jazmine Davis combined for 39 points and 12 rebounds.

“We weren’t getting anything offensively, couldn’t get any stops inside — they were just having their way with us,” head coach Niya Butts said. “We left them wide open for some good looks on the 3-point line

and they were able to knock those down. We just didn’t make the plays we needed to make.”

Point guard Shanita Arnold led the way for Arizona with a seasonhigh 19 points on 6-of-15 shooting, 3-of-7 from 3-point range. Davellyn Whyte contributed 16 points on 5-of16 shooting, but shot 0-for-7 from 3-point range. She also added nine rebounds and three assists.

Softball wins five games to sweep invite

By Cameron Moon Daily Wildcat

The Arizona softball team got back to its winning ways at the Hillenbrand Invitational at Hillenbrand Memorial Stadium. The Wildcats were able to sweep the competition, outscoring opponents 44-7, improving their record to 8-3.

The Wildcats plowed through Friday’s opponents, Alabama-Birmingham and North Dakota. Arizona was able to beat UAB 7-0, with every Arizona run scoring on a home run. A grand slam by Kristen Arriola in the third inning gave the Wildcats a 4-0 lead and a three-run blast from senior Jessica Spigner in the sixth finished the game.

The UAB game was the first complete game for Arizona pitcher Kenzie Fowler, who has been battling a sprained disk in her back. Fowler allowed just one hit and struck out 11.

“We were planning on her getting a couple starts,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “She’s getting stronger every week, we just didn’t want to get to a point where we were taking a step backwards.”

The second game of Friday’s double-header was a run-rule shortened affair in which Arizona was able to put up 14 runs in just five innings of play.

The game got out of hand quickly and the Wildcat lead was up to 10 after just two innings.

“This game is full of little moments that you either execute or you don’t,” Candrea said. “Sometimes, the little things will catch up to you in big games, and you have small margin for

error. When you’ve got a lot of runs on the board, it’s easy to look over those things.”

Day two of the invitational was a little more challenging for the Wildcats, but ended with the same results.

Western Kentucky put up the biggest challenge, leading most of the game until Arizona scored the final two goahead runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Fowler was able to pitch another complete game, giving up four runs on six hits. She struck out eight and posted her second win of the season.

In the last two games of the invitational against Southern Utah, Arizona was able to dispense of the Thunderbirds quickly, winning 9-1 on Saturday and 8-0 on Sunday in shortened games.

On Sunday, pitcher Jessica Spigner held Southern Utah to only two hits for the game and contributed to her own victory, hitting her fourth home run of the season, a two-run blast in the third inning. She was not the only Wildcat to go deep. Junior third baseman Brigette Del Ponte hit her third home run of the season, a grand slam that put the game out of reach.

With the sweep this weekend, Arizona is now 77-3 all-time in the Hillenbrand Invitational. Wildcat pitcher Kenzie Fowler said the home cooking helped them out, but they have work to do.

“It was a good weekend for us to be at home and put some runs on the board,” Fowler said. “We need to mentally prepare ourselves and not worry about any opponent. Offensively and defensively, we have to have a good mindset.”

The Arizona hockey team snapped a 10-game winless streak on Saturday just a day after it tied Colorado to end a nine-game losing streak. The Wildcats’ two remaining games both come next weekend against ASU at the Tucson Convention Center.

Hockey snaps winless skid with pair of games in Colo.

UA hockey ties first game of weekend, then wins second

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

It wasn’t easy, but the No. 21 Arizona hockey team finally returned to its winning ways, beating ACHA Division II Colorado State 6-1 Saturday on the road just a night after tying Colorado, another Division II opponent, 4-4 in overtime.

“When you get into a streak like we were facing with those losses, you definitely start getting worried when (a win) is going to happen, or if it’s going to happen,” defender Jonathan Watanabe said. “So getting that win, especially before (No. 4 ASU next weekend), was huge. That was just a weight off our shoulders.”

The Wildcats came into the weekend riding a seven-game losing streak, and after tying Colorado on

Friday, the Wildcats had just one win in their last 10 games.

Most of their defeats were close losses against top-15 opponents, but their inability to beat a lower-division Colorado team for the second time was a bad sign for the struggling Wildcats.

Arizona took 63 shots in the game on Friday, but it still needed a late goal by forward Andrew Murmes in the third period to tie the game up and avoid another crushing defeat to a team that, on paper, should have been an easy victory.

“We came in just wanting to stomp them, and the fact that we couldn’t get anything going and couldn’t produce was definitely a struggle,” forward Kyle Miranda said. “I think the guys really, really wanted a big victory … but we just couldn’t get it done.”

But even with the comeback, the Wildcats’ winless streak was still intact after both teams failed to score in overtime.

The streak appeared destined to continue on Saturday after Arizona fell behind on an early goal by

Colorado State, a team the Wildcats beat 7-3 at home earlier in the year.

But after Arizona took a 2-1 advantage into the third period, the floodgates opened for the Wildcats.

Miranda, a freshman, scored his first career goal to put Arizona up 3-1, and then the Wildcats netted three more goals for an emphatic 6-1 victory.

It was a great feeling to finally build up a comfortable lead, forward Brian Slugocki said. For the first time in awhile the team was able to take a deep breath and relax.

With just two games left in the season and the team officially out of the national tournament, the Wildcats desperately needed a victory to build some confidence before they take on an ASU team that the Wildcats haven’t beaten in 22 straight games.

“It was a great feeling for me, for the other seniors that only have a couple games left, and for the entire team,” Watanabe said. “Just having that feeling and being able to relax and regain confidence in ourselves and our team again was pretty crucial.”

Tennis splits weekend Women continue winning ways, men remain stuck in rut

By Iman Hamdan Daily Wildcat

The women’s tennis team set out with one goal in mind for this past weekend — win as a team. The Wildcats finished the weekend with dominating victories at home over North Texas and Cal Poly with a score of 6-1 for each match.

“This was a really good weekend for us in many ways,” women’s head coach Vicky Maes said. “The most striking improvement was in doubles play. We competed much more composed and took each match early on, which is something we struggled with in past matches.”

On Friday, Arizona swept North Texas in doubles play. Sophomores Kim Stubbe and Susan McRann were the first duo to claim a doubles match against the Mean Green’s Barbora Vykydalova and Ilona Serchenko with a score of 8-1. Senior Sarah Landsman teamed up with freshman Hailey Johnson to win the second doubles match for the Wildcats, 8-2.

The good play carried over into singles play as the Wildcats won five out of the six singles matches.

Again in the second half, the Wildcats opened on a run, only to see the lead immediately slip away. Arizona went on a 6-2 run to open the half, but the Huskies came right back with an 8-0 run of their own to tie the game at 35.

The Arizona women’s tennis team won both of its matches this weekend while the men’s team was blown away by its competition.

Natasha Marks and Lacey Smyth continued their undefeated streak in singles play. Marks defeated North Texas’ Nadia Lee 7-6(2), 6-2, while Smyth claimed the match on court one with scores of 6-2, 7-6(5).

The Wildcats carried the momentum into Saturday as they took on Cal Poly.

Arizona defeated the Mustangs in two of the doubles matches with a forfeit by Cal Poly on court three.

The Wildcats dominated in singles,

led the Huskies to three Sweet 16s and four conference tournament championships while winning conference Coach of the Year twice.

Experienced coaches can be the difference in a successful tournament team and a first-round exit, and with Romar Washington certainly has that on its side.

“They’re great at offensive rebounding and they had that in place tonight,” Miller said after the Huskies grabbed 20 offensive rebounds against Arizona. “It’s the thing they do the very best of any team in the conference.”

Smyth won the first set 7-5, but fell in the second 2-6. In the third, Stubbe defeated Cal Poly’s Alexa Lee 10-5.

high 13 strikeouts and held the Bison to only two runs through seven and one-third innings, but a combination of the bullpen’s failure and Arizona’s anemic offense led to an 8-2 NDSU victory.

Sunday’s contest was a pitcher’s duel through five innings with Arizona holding a 1-0 advantage.

The Wildcats were finally able to break through as the bats of Alex Mejia and Seth Mejias-Brean helped to add a combined four runs in the sixth and seventh.

Right fielder Robert Refsnyder added two runs in the bottom of the eighth as part of an Arizona effort that scored three in that half inning.

Refsnyder had a tremendous day

Each of the last five matchups has played a role in deciding which team sits atop the conference standings.

Washington might be sneaking its way back onto the good side of the NCAA Tournament bubble — thanks in large part to a pair of wins over a solid Arizona team.

Last year’s Arizona win in McKale Center helped vault the Wildcats to a regular-season Pacific 10 Conference championship. Thomas’ heroics gave the Huskies the tournament championship and the auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament that comes with it.

The Huskies sit in a tie for first place after Saturday’s win. Had the Wildcats won, they would be a game back of the conference’s top spot with three

at the plate with four hits and three RBIs for the Wildcats.

Arizona was held to just a combined five runs in the weekend’s first two games. Lopez said it could have just been the opening week jitters.

“We were sweeping the bat way too much, the approach is not a very good one,” Lopez said. “Anybody that knows the game probably watches this weekend and says, ‘My god, is coach Lopez talking to these guys?’ but we’ve talked about it and we’ll adjust.”

Sophomore James Farris got the nod for the Sunday start and held the hill through a complete game.

“I had a mindset today that it’s my ball, it’s my day, no one’s gonna stop me from having success on the mound,” said Farris, who allowed five hits and struck out six.

Wildcats held a 45-40 lead. Over the next six minutes, Washington went on a 20-4 run to take a 12-point lead, all but ending Arizona’s hopes at securing what would have been its first twogame winning streak since December.

“It just comes down to getting stops and taking care of the ball when you’re ahead,” Arnold said. “We failed to do that and we did it at crucial moments.”

Freshman Erin Butler, who had the hot hand against Washington State with 21 first-half points, struggled against the Huskies. Butler scored zero points and shot just 0-for-6 from the field and 0-for-5 from 3-point range.

games left to play.

Things between Arizona and Washington don’t stop on the court. Arizona head coach Sean Miller and UW head coach Lorenzo Romar are battling for recruits. Chol’s college decision came down to Arizona or Washington.

No other conference matchup has the unmatchable combination of atmosphere, skill, highlight plays and meaningful games. The days of UCLA versus Arizona being the conference’s marquee game are over.

Washington and Arizona have taken the reins, and neither looks willing to let this matchup slide into the depths of irrelevance like the Pac-12’s other fleeting rivalries.

Hi Corbett move a success for opening weekend The decision to change the Wildcats’ home venue to Hi Corbett Field had been one that was mulled around the athletic department for the better part of a year, but based on the opening weekend, the decision was a smart one.

This year’s opening weekend attendance of 8.870 was almost a quarter of all of last season’s total in just three games.

“It’s great to see the community come out, it’s nice to play in a big league facility like this,” Refsnyder said. “Having the student section too, it’s great.”

The Bear Down Times

SICK HAPPENS answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Plan B (the morning after pill) can be purchased by men and women 17 years and older in Arizona without a prescription.

Since 1995, SexTalk has been answering questions from UA students. Here are some of the persistent (and sometimes humorous) myths that we often hear: Q. Can Mountain Dew shrink your testicles and lower your sperm count?

A. Good news: No. Bad news: Mountain Dew is not the new male contraceptive.

Q. I heard that ASU has its very own STD. Is that true?

A. No way. Sexually transmitted diseases are equal opportunity organisms that don’t discriminate. Wildcats get the same infections that afflict Sun Devils.

Q. Is it true you can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex?

A. FALSE. First time, tenth time, 100th time – it doesn’t matter. It only takes one time to get pregnant. Teens and young adults are at their peak fertility. Your first time might be the most fertile time you will ever be in your life.

Q. Girls can’t get pregnant when they are “on top,” right?

A. Wrong. Fertile females get pregnant in all kinds of positions (read the Kama Sutra for ideas).

Q. Does peeing after sex keep you from getting an STD? A. Not so much. Urine won’t prevent herpes, gonorrhea, HIV, etc. Urinating after sex might help avoid a urinary tract infection, so it IS a good idea to take a trip to the bathroom after doing the “mattress mambo.”

By Doing These: • Wash your hands with soap & water or an alcohol based hand sanitizer • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth • Get plenty of rest • Stay hydrated • Eat nutritious foods • Get a flu shot** • Stay home if you are sick • Seek medical care if you need help

• Flu • Colds • Upper Respiratory Infections • Stomach & Intestinal Illnesses • Other ailments

Q. Can you get pregnant in a swimming pool?

A. Absolutely... if you have intercourse in the pool.

Q. I heard that if you jump up and down after sex, it can keep you from getting pregnant. Really?

A. No way. You can’t shake sperm out of your vagina. By the time you start the calisthenics, the sperm are already on their way through the cervix, up the uterus, and into the fallopian tubes, searching for an egg.

Southwest Indian Art Fair hits UA

By Arts & Life staff Daily Wildcat

The front lawn of the Arizona State Museum held the 19th annual Southwest Indian Art Fair on Saturday and Sunday.

The fair showcased artist demonstrations, food, dance and music performances, auctions and book signings.

Since its beginnings as a small pottery fair in 1993, the Southwest Indian Art Fair has grown into one of the State Museum’s largest cultural celebrations.

Demonstrations of Zapotec and Navajo weaving, Yaqui mask making and Navajo sand paintings were just a small part of the art offerings, which also included pottery, Hopi katsina dolls, paintings, jewelry, baskets, rugs and blankets.

There were also Zuni and Apache dancers along with flute, guitar, drum and hoop dancing.

A silent art auction and food such as Indian fry bread, rounded out the fair.
