Brewer commends UA, calls for citizen support

ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona is adding sand volleyball to its repertoire of Division I varsity sports. It will be the 20th Division I program at the UA when it debuts in spring 2014, led by indoor volleyball associate head coach Steve Walker.

“It’s great. It brings another aspect of volleyball to the UA athletic department,” indoor volleyball head coach Dave Rubio said in a phone interview with the Arizona Daily Wildcat. “It really impacts the indoor team in a very positive way and its addition will make it [the UA] more attractive for recruits.”

Rubio said that athletic director Greg Byrne tasked him with finding the team’s inaugural head coach, and he settled on Walker because “he was the best candidate” in terms of his ability and experience in recruiting and running a program. Walker spent two years as the head indoor volleyball coach at UC Davis from 2006-07, and will no longer be a

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announced Tuesday morning that $8 million of her budget will go to the UA’s College of Medicine.

Brewer gave an alternate version of her 2013 State of the State speech, where she laid out her goal for the state of Arizona for this coming year at the Westin La Paloma Resort in Tucson. The original address was given in Phoenix on Monday night.

In her Tucson address, Brewer commended the UA on its outstanding faculty and student body. She said she was impressed with the expansion of the UA College of Medicine to Phoenix and that the state would help it to stand as one of the premier medical schools in the nation.

Brewer also applauded the UA for generating the most profit out of all the Arizona universities and promised to keep funding leading research and breakthrough

projects.

The governor specifically focused her speech on competition, stressing that Arizona “must compete for the most desirable jobs for our citizens, the finest teachers in our schools, the most talented students and faculty in our universities. And each of our citizens must likewise compete to earn a living, build a future and raise a family in a safe and healthy environment.”

Brewer also spoke about the growth of Arizona’s national success.

“Our housing market is on the mend, recovering faster in metro Phoenix than anywhere in America. We’re adding jobs at the swiftest clip in years — nearly 23,000 in November alone. In fact, Arizona is ranked fifth in the nation for job growth during 2012.”

The tone of the governor’s speech quickly turned serious when she transitioned from the state’s successes to the changes that need to be made.

Brewer spoke out on behalf of the

abused and neglected children of Arizona, campaigning for a more efficient hotline system and announcing she will add 150 child protective service caseworkers and boost child services funds through her executive budget, which will be released Friday.

She then switched her focus to Arizona’s economy, vowing to simplify sales tax code to help small businesses and “remove one more barrier to economic growth and make Arizona even more competitive.”

The governor also went into detail about her Medicaid plan, promising Arizonans that she will continue to expand the coverage and benefits of her plan to low income and uninsured families.

“I’m committed to doing this, and I want you on my side,” Brewer said. “Let’s work together in an atmosphere of respect and do what is best for Arizona.”

Finally, Brewer discussed the topic

A UA professor is challenging Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity and questioning whether it holds up in all areas of space.

Andrei Lebed, a physics professor at the UA , has proposed an idea for an experiment that could be a “breakthrough,” according to university professors.

The two most successful theories of physics developed in the 20th century are general relativity and quantum mechanics, according to Michael Hart, associate astronomer at the UA .

Quantum mechanics describes three of the four known fundamental forces in the universe, electromagnetism and strong and weak nuclear forces. The fourth force, gravitation, can be described by general relativity.

Attempts to merge general relativity and quantum mechanics have failed in the last century.

Physicists know that both theories work separately but have been unsuccessful in creating a single theoretical framework that describes them both.

“This has been the black sheep

of the physics world for a hundred years,” Hart said. “If physics is to be successful, we have to find a way of unifying those two theories.”

One of the major cornerstones of general relativity is the idea that inertial mass and gravitational mass are the same, Hart said. Inertial mass is the

sensation one feels when being slammed against a seatbelt in a car crash. Gravitational mass is the gravitational pull between a body and the Earth, or one’s “weight.” When measured, these two masses are the same.

“There is no fundamental reason why these masses have to be the same; it just seems that

they are,” Hart said. “If there were experimental evidence they are not the same, it would essentially mean changes would need to be made to general relativity.”

To date, there has never been an experiment done that proves general relativity to be

of education and its importance for Arizona’s economy and competitiveness.

“Everyone knows that global competition for jobs has changed,” she said. ”Our schools must keep pace.”

The governor announced a plan to change school funding by rewarding schools that see an improvement in student achievement.

She assured Arizonans that by changing the distributions of funds, schools would rise to the higher standards now set by the rest of the world.

Brewer summed up her speech by referring back to her theme of competition and promoting a sense of pride and hope for the residents of Arizona.

“Let us not squander the many blessings we’ve inherited,” Brewer said. “Let us leave a legacy of our own as we make the difficult decisions that keep Arizona on the path to prosperity.”

wrong — but Lebed is working to change this. His idea is to send a spacecraft full of hydrogen atoms into flat space and measure their electrons to see if they jump to different energy levels. According to Einstein’s theory, mass warps space. Even over the width of a single atom, there might be curvature that affects how the atom behaves.

In quantum mechanics, electrons have a ground state, which is their lowest energy state, and an excited state, meaning any energy level higher than its ground state. When an electron jumps back from an excited level to ground level, it emits a photon, or light, Lebed said.

Einstein’s theory says that when energy increases, so does mass, leading to the equation E=mc^2.

But depending on whether the atom is in flat or curved space, its mass might be different, and the equation might not hold up.

“The probability to break this equation is very small, but the number of electron-moving events is big because the number of hydrogen atoms in one kilogram is around several billion,” Lebed said. “The emission of the photon is the consequence of marriage between these two theories.”

The laws of the atom are

A new event on the UA campus will focus on healthy living and student engagement.

The first “New Year, New You” event will take place on the UA Mall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 23, with organizations from campus and the community gathering to inform students about the services available to them. The focus of the event is on healthy living, but also on creating a good environment for students, according to organizers.

“First of all, it [New Year, New You] is going to be a lot of fun for students,” said David Salafsky, director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services and one of the main organizers of the event.

“I think it is going to be a really big event,” Salafsky continued.

“We are going to have a lot of departments and units from across campus, and really it is an opportunity to showcase all the programs, services and resources that are available for students.”

Salafsky said one of the ways Campus Health Service is going to make the event more engaging is through the use of an “event passport.” Students can get their passport stamped at six different booths, and then use the event photo booth and get hard copies.

“I think it is a great idea,”

said Kendall Dunn, a freshman studying philosophy, politics, economics and law. “I have noticed, especially since I got here, that a lot of people think the idea of good, healthy eating is like a can of SpaghettiOs and I am one of those people where I pull out a box of spinach, and they are like, ‘What’s that?’”

Campus Recreation is only one of the campus organizations participating in the event.

The goal is to showcase all the different services that Campus Recreation has to offer, according to Michele Schwitzky, senior assistant director for marketing and outreach. There are also plans to host a hockey goal mini-game at the event with tickets to Wildcat hockey games as prizes.

The Student Health Advocacy Committee will also attend the event and will focus on mental and sexual health, according to Leena Patel, the director of SHAC and a public health senior.

SHAC plans on having informational games as well.

“A lot of the stuff gets out to students during the fall semester, but there is a lot of information to take in for students, and I think that has always been a challenge,” Salafsky said.

“We kind of wanted to use the new year as a time to reorient students to all that is available to them.”

different from what Einstein predicts, UA astronomer Don McCarthy said. Einstein’s theory does a good job of explaining the universe as a whole, but it doesn’t do well at the smallest scale of an atom, he said.

If the experiment was successful, it would prove that inertial mass and gravitational mass are not the same, and that in some areas of space, E does not equal mc^2.

“It would be a revolutionary breakthrough for physics,” Hart said. “General relativity and quantum mechanics have never been proven wrong.”

The challenge now is getting other physicists on board with the experiment, according to Lebed.

He has done the calculations, but many physicists have already deemed the project impossible because no one has done it before.

“This step to unite gravitation and quantum mechanics is the most difficult. People cannot do it,” Lebed said. “This is just one small move in the right direction.”

Others agree that this type of experiment could have a major impact.

“This won’t make a difference in a person’s normal life, but it might to the technologies we develop and use, such as TVs, global positioning systems and spacecraft,” McCarthy said. “And to the physicist, it provides a more elegant and accurate explanation of the entire universe.”

The first cannabis kitchen in the state of Arizona opened Thursday in South Tucson and the sales of the edibles began on Saturday.

SARAH-jAYNE SIMON Arizona Daily Wildcat

The state’s first cannabis kitchen has opened in Tucson, providing a variety of products to a local marijuana dispensary.

State inspectors approved the Heavenly Harvest kitchen on Thursday, making it the first in the state to receive approval for making edibles. It will provide both edibles and infused products to a marijuana dispensary known as The Green Halo.

Currently, the state is in the process of approving both kitchens and dispensaries. Four dispensaries have been approved so far in Arizona, one of which is The Green Halo. Heavenly Harvest is the only kitchen that has gotten approval for edibles.

“I think there is a perception, a mind frame about what medical marijuana is, and as a registered nurse, I have seen patients coming off of hard prescription medicine through the use of cannabis,” said Heather Manus, registered nurse and executive director of edibles and infused products at The Green Halo. “I don’t advocate smoking, necessarily, but I would like to see more edibles and infused products going on the market, so patients have those options.”

Both the kitchen and dispensary are located on Wilmot Road, just off Interstate 10. The edible and infused medicine line officially went on sale Saturday and includes items such as ointments, brownies, cookies and candy.

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

“I think that it is a good idea just because the people who have cards need it for their own personal reasons,” journalism sophomore Molly Baker said. “I don’t think it would increase illegal use.”

Manus also added that edible medicines have an appeal for those patients who prefer not to smoke.

“There is a stereotype about patients who smoke marijuana, so if somebody needs to be able to medicate and doesn’t want to smell like smoke, this gives a wider range of options for patients,” Manus said. “This way, [the patients] can either be discreet or feel more comfortable.

Some elderly clients feel more comfortable using an ointment to put directly on their skin.”

Some students said they believe providing marijuana for medical reasons shouldn’t be an issue.

“I don’t think there is anything wrong with Arizona’s first commercial cannabis kitchen becoming approved,” elementary education junior Alicia Scofield said. “If people need it for a medical reason, they shouldn’t be prohibited.”

The process of getting approved by the state has been a long time coming, according to Manus.

“This is literally a dream come true for me. There is a huge amount of patients in Arizona that can be touched by the medical cannabis,” Manus said. “My whole purpose is to help as many patients as possible, so they can have access to this kind of medicine and I feel really good about administrating this kind of medication to patients.”

Some things can’t be taught

courtesy of genevieve smith BABY NORAh is just one of the eight children who UA nursing senior Genevieve Smith has helped to deliver. Smith is a registered doula, who operates as a support system for an expecting mother at the time of birth. Unlike a midwife, Smith’s role is that of emotional and spirtual support for the mother in the physical birthing of the child.

Nursing senior ‘naturally fell’ into her role as a registered doula her to attend her home birth. “It was an amazing experience,” Smith said. “I naturally fell into the role, assisting and being where I was needed.”

Not only did Smith observe the cycles of pregnancy, labor and birth, but she also saw just how much the pregnant woman has to work to give birth.

“I wasn’t scared,” Smith said. “I never grew up with the idea that birth was a scary process. All I knew was that I wanted to help. … I was enamored with the beauty of pregnancy … They don’t teach you this. It’s something you have to witness,” she added.

As a doula, it’s Smith’s job to create a positive, joyful environment for the mother. The birthing process is about relaxation and celebration, said Smith.

Smith rushes to each birth ready with her doula bag packed with teas, scented oils, a head massager, washcloths for cold compresses and socks in case the woman’s feet get cold.

She even makes her signature doula cookies for the mother and waiting family members.

Once she arrives, Smith assesses the situation to see how the woman in labor is transitioning into contractions and how the family is supporting her.

“It’s a process you fall into. Whatever your mom needs, you get,” said Smith.

Smith said pregnant women are very pleasant during the first portion of labor. They’re energetic, talking excitedly about the new baby and usually up walking around.

However, women in labor soon become quiet and focused as they go into the next portion.

Oftentimes, Smith encourages them to get up and walk. But she also does a slow dancing movement as pregnant women put their entire weight into her

“G

o low. Go low with me,” UA nursing senior Genevieve Smith said in a deep voice, standing near the soon-to-be mother. She made animalistic, guttural noises and asked the woman in labor to echo them.

Smith said she uses these noises to decrease the muscle tension that women in labor experience as they transition from quick, light contractions to painful ones that last for full minutes.

Smith is a doula — a term not many people have heard before. It doesn’t replace a midwife and it isn’t someone who beats drums and performs rituals once a woman goes into labor, as movies might portray.

A doula is there for the mother and the mother only. She is her support system and companion to make sure the birth goes smoothly.

“You’re there to give the best experience they can possibly have,” Smith said. Doulas are there for everything from creating a birthing plan in the beginning of the pregnancy to advocating the woman’s choices in the heat of delivery when spouses, doctors and family members may be in a panic.

Birthing is a personal and intimate moment, Smith said, “and with a doula, you’re inviting an outside person into that.”

Smith has been a certified doula for three years now. She has helped deliver eight babies and she said she feels a special connection to each one, like she helped bring that being into life.

“I’m convinced each one is more and more beautiful than the last,” Smith said.

When Smith was 17, her best friend invited

and sway back and forth to loosen their hips.

There is always an “I can’t do it” moment, Smith said. Women begin to lose hope. Their sense of time dissolves and they think the pain will go on forever.

But working with families has been the biggest challenge for Smith. Smith has experienced times when family members were opposed to using a doula, even though the mother wanted her there.

At one point during a pregnant woman’s severe contractions, a family member pushed Smith away while she was comforting the woman.

Through DONA International, a doula organization, Smith completed her certification process, which included attending a number of births, reading materials and attending a birthing class.

Though she is still a student, Smith advertises her services both at home in Chandler and in Tucson.

Smith said it’s difficult being in school and being a doula. She wants to be there for her moms and as a student.

As a young college student, Smith is definitely a rarity among doulas, as most doulas are middleaged with children of their own. But Smith’s experiences have influenced her own birth theories and plans for the future. Smith said it’s not even a question that she wants kids, and when the time comes, she hopes it’s either a home birth or at a birth center.

Now in nursing school, Smith said she hopes to work in labor and delivery. After becoming a nurse, she wants to look into becoming a midwife as well.

“It’s all about the mom,” Smith said. “It’s all about the baby. And all about the family growing.”

Merit-based funding bad idea for AZ education Dan desrochers

Arizona Daily Wildcat

E

arlier in January, Education Week posted its annual Quality Counts report card on public education, and if the state of Arizona was a high school student, it would be hiding its report card from its parents right about now.

States’ grades were determined by averaging the chance for students’ success based on K-12 achievement, the teaching profession, school finance, standards, assessments, accountability, transitions and alignment.

Arizona scored a 72.2 percent, below the national average of 76.9 percent, which places it 43rd out of 51 states (the District of Columbia was included).

Arizona’s poor results probably contributed to Jan Brewer’s discussion points in her State of the State address Monday night, in which she announced that she would release a “comprehensive performance funding plan” where schools are financed based on “high marks” and “improvement in performance.”

While a reasonable idea, the concept of rewarding schools based on performance isn’t exactly new.

Lawmakers in Indiana proposed a similar idea in December. Their plan would give schools $500 for every student who scored an 85 percent or higher on the math and language arts portions of their state’s standardized test, according to WLFI news in Lafayette, Ind. However, most of these plans don’t work out the way they’re supposed to. Brewer at least conceded that enrollment-based funding is still necessary, but the truth is that a competitive reward program will School just end up leaving poorer communities reform isn’t in the dust. as simple as A study performed by the Center for creating a Education Policy competition Analysis at Stanford to be the University in 2011 found that the best.­ education gap between rich and poor families is 30 to 40 percent higher than it was 25 years ago. Which could explain why, in France, President Francois Hollande proposed banishing homework from primary schools so that poorer students don’t fall behind richer students.

This means that the affluent communities, where parents come from more educated backgrounds or are able to afford tutors for their children, will see the most success and thus get the most funding under the new policy.

Brewer seems to have acknowledged this problem in saying that she would also award money to schools based on their improvement. This would be the perfect solution, if funding for improvement actually worked.

In 2012, the Washington Policy Center looked into why having a Common Core curriculum is bad for education. The results warned that a Common Core would close the door on innovation and that the set standards are usually of insufficient quality.

In order to able to reasonably assess schools, the state would have to rely on the Common Core curriculum, and while the practice might move Arizona up in the quality education rankings, it would do little to further the actual value of a flopping education system.

Brewer is right: Something needs to be done to reform education in the state of Arizona. But despite how well competitive based funding fits into the theme of her State of the State address, it doesn’t fit into the Arizona school system.

School reform isn’t as simple as creating a competition to be the best. It requires a careful and holistic approach to measuring where funds are needed in order to improve the overall quality of education in the state. Brewer can’t just throw money at the problem and let the schools scratch and claw their way to the top to get the biggest chunk.

Social media affects interaction justin hussong Arizona Daily Wildcat

A

s the alluring Tucson sun peers over the beautiful mountains and shines its light on the palm trees scattered across the UA campus, students walking to class are captivated by... their Facebook news feeds.

Administrators, especially at large universities like the UA, have made it a point to encourage students to become more than “just a number,” yet we remain obsessed with having thousands of Facebook friends or Twitter followers.

According to China Youth Daily, a survey collected 1,721 questionnaires in an attempt to uncover the younger generation’s inadequacy when it comes to face to face interaction. An overwhelming 85 percent agreed that the younger generation is not capable of dealing with social encounters because

they rely too much on virtual communication.

“Face to face is the most direct way of communicating,” said Li Yuhuan, a doctor from the psychological department of the Qingdao Mental Health Center. “Constantly being on your cellphone while spending time with friends and family will definitely have a bad effect on your relationships with them.”

Technology has reduced being “friends” with someone to a simple click of the mouse, which has compromised our interactions in daily life. Our media presence has progressed from sharing bumper stickers on Facebook walls to recording every moment of our lives, right down to what we had for dinner, not only on Facebook but now on Instagram, Twitter and Foursquare too. People

are more concerned with appearing to be having fun than actually going out having fun with their friends.

While it is bad enough that social media has strained our relationships with friends and family, it is even more troubling that the epidemic has crossed the line into the classroom and workplace. Developing personal relationships is paramount in all aspects of life, and a widespread inability to communicate in person is very much an issue.

While out with friends, in class or anywhere at all, a phone’s presence alone is enough to harm interpersonal relationships, say researchers Netta Weinstein and Andrew K. Przybylski of the University of Essex.

Weinstein and Przybylski conducted an experiment to see if phones really do impact social behavior. They took pairs of people and put them in rooms alone for 10 minutes.

Certain pairs had a phone in the room, while others did not.

What they found was that the pairs without the phone had far more riveting conversations

and got to know each other much better than those with a phone.

“Interacting in a neutral environment without a cell phone nearby seems to help foster closeness, connectedness, interpersonal trust and perceptions of empathy — the building blocks of a relationship,” Scientific American said.

People have an irrational need to be accepted by everyone. The fact that it is more important for social media users to impress thousands of Facebook “friends” than their close personal friends is astonishing.

As a student, next time you find yourself ignoring your friends to play with your phone, put it down and enjoy their company. Instead of texting on your way to class, take a minute to gaze up at the Arizona scenery. No picture on Instagram can compare to that.

WHAT’S

GOING

Liar, liar

A UA student was arrested on charges of theft, possession of marijuana and false reporting to law enforcement at ArizonaSonora Residence Hall at 10:52 p.m. on Jan. 12, after allegedly stealing and selling an iPhone 5.

University of Arizona Police Department officers originally responded to a report of a fight between two men.

One of the students, who was new to the UA, told police he was walking around to try and meet people and left his iPhone 5 in a room. When he returned for it, the resident of the room said he had sold the phone on Craigslist.

The man thought he was lying, but the room’s resident insisted he’d sold the phone. The man threatened to fight the student.

The student told police he no longer had the phone. He didn’t know the owner of the phone and thought that the owner was high on Xanax. He that didn’t have contact information for the buyer and had also already used the money he’d received to buy an iPhone for himself, he said.

UAPD told the student he was under arrest on charges of theft.

While waiting for one officer to retrieve a citation from the patrol vehicle, the man opened the door to his room, which is when an officer smelled marijuana. The student said his room always smelled like that and that there was no marijuana inside. He then gave UAPD permission to search his room.

During the search, UAPD found what looked to be marijuana residue inside of a Camel cigarette box. The student accused UAPD of planting it in his room.

Police then told the student that they would need to take his new iPhone. It was at a friend’s, the suspect said, adding that he was unsure of the address. The officer said the two needed to go his friend’s house. The suspect then motioned the cop closer to whisper in his ear: “I lied. It’s not in my friend’s house. I don’t want to lead you on a wild goose chase. The phone is downstairs.�

The student led UAPD outside and behind a patio area and lifted a rock. Under the rock was an iPhone.

Later, UAPD met with the student who’d had his phone taken.

The student brought its original box, and the serial number on the packaging matched that of the phone the suspect had handed to police.

UAPD then returned to the suspect’s room for a follow-up.

After some knocking he answered, shirtless and in yellow shorts.

He asked UAPD to wait, saying a woman was present who wasn’t decently dressed at the moment — but a moment later, the suspect told police that there was no woman in the room.

An officer told the suspect that the substance UAPD had found at the bottom of the cigarette box had tested positive for marijuana and that they’d matched the serial numbers of the phone.

The suspect was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, theft and false reporting to law enforcement. He was then transported and booked at the Pima County detention center.

A Wild Turkey chase

UAPD went to the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house after a ground-floor window was unknowingly broken at 5:30 p.m. on Jan. 11.

Upon arrival, police were met by a UA student who showed police a hole in his window that was about a foot in diameter.

The opening was not large enough for someone to enter. A broken Wild Turkey alcohol bottle was also found in the room near the window. The man asked around and no one had seen or heard anything.

The man had already spoken with his roommate, who was unaware of the incident.

UAPD then gave the man victim’s rights forms. He said the fraternity would participate in future judicial proceedings if a suspect were found.

Emergence of dual threat quarterbacks makes Arizona’s Matt Scott more appealing to NFL Zack rosenblatt Arizona Daily Wildcat

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson wasn’t supposed to be this good.

At 5-foot-11, he’s shorter than the 6-foot-4 prototype scouts used to look for.

But in leading the Seattle Seahawks to an 11-5 record and playoff win as a third-round draft pick in last year’s NFL Draft, Wilson proved that size might not matter.

It is because of the rise to prominence of Wilson, Washington’s Robert Griffin III and, to a lesser extent, Miami’s Ryan Tannehill that Arizona’s Matt Scott should hear his name called in this year’s NFL Draft.

The trio of aforementioned rookies introduced themselves as a new breed of dualthreat quarterback, different from years past when athletic freaks like Michael Vick and Vince Young entered the league.

Wilson, Griffin III and Tannehill can definitely make plays with their legs, but what makes them dangerous is their respective passing ability.

The NFL is a copycat league, and you can be sure NFL decision-makers will be looking for the next Wilson, a steal for the Seahawks.

“What people don’t understand about Matt is prior to this year he’d barely played,” said Scelfo, who has coached five NFL quarterbacks in his career, including Foles. “So you’re looking at a guy with hardly any experience and for him to go out and show the maturity that he did — it’s a tribute not only to Matt but the staff.”

And while many might look at that inexperience as a “weakness” on the Matt Scott scouting report, Scelfo feels like the best is yet to come.

“The NFL is going to see him as a guy that has huge upside,” he said. “With the lack of playing time that he’s had, everything’s going to be in front of him.”

Inexperience aside, there still are a few question marks.

He is a bit undersized at his listed 6-foot3, 197 pounds. Wilson is four inches shorter than Scott, but weighs 10 pounds more.

With a lack of size comes an increased risk for injury, and scouts will certainly point to

Wildcats get ‘Versatile’ softball senior leads Wildcats lucky with Miller Del Ponte attempts to bring glory back to the diamond Evan rosenfeld Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior softball player Brigette Del Ponte has experienced the highest of highs in her threeyear collegiate career, and with a bit of luck, she’ll be able to end her senior season by correcting some of the lows.

Del Ponte had a freshman season full of highlights, awards and achievements. She hit .322 while subsequently setting a freshman record for home runs and RBI with 21 and 80, respectively. She also recorded three games with five or more RBI and 21 multi RBI games during the season while remaining consistent and performed well in postseason play.

Her performance was pivotal in the Wildcats’ run to the Women’s College World Series.

“It was such a great feeling to be at the World Series,” Del Ponte said. “The atmosphere was amazing, and the pressure was amazing. It was a great experience, but it’s still just the same game at a different facility. As a freshman, I embraced playing in the World Series, but being a senior now, I’m remembering how hard it is to get there and all of the things that have to fall into place. I think I could have definitely appreciated it more.”

Despite solid performances in her sophomore and junior seasons, Arizona softball has failed to reach the World Series since.

Now entering her senior year, Del Ponte strives to repeat her initial success and help bring Arizona Softball back to the Women’s College World Series.

Five years ago, the same O’Neill was the head basketball coach in Tucson. It was just on an interim basis, but there were plans to make the arrangement permanent.

comparing apples to oranges. Let’s just say Arizona fans should count their blessings that Miller is the one on the court.

In O’Neill’s one year at Arizona, he led the Wildcats to a 19-15 record and a berth in the NCAA Tournament, where they lost in the first round.

That’s where the positives end for O’Neill.

While the 2007-2008 Wildcats had a lot to deal with off the court, they had a great deal of talent on it. Freshman Jerryd Bayless and sophomores Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill all played vital roles for the underachieving Wildcats.

It’s hard to rely on three young college stars, who haven’t exactly lit up the NBA since then. But all three are still playing professionally and have received significant minutes when healthy, leading us to believe that O’Neill didn’t lack talent in Tucson.

Arizona also went 8-10 in a strong Pac-10 conference; its first losing conference record since Olson’s first season in charge.

It’s safe to say O’Neill didn’t make a solid first impression.

He was still in line to take over after Olson decided to call it quits at the end of his contract, which was set to expire in 2011. Obviously, though, things didn’t go as planned.

O’Neill left Tucson and headed to the NBA as an assistant coach for the Memphis Grizzles for a season before replacing Tim Floyd as the head coach at USC in 2009.

Arizona hires new offensive line coach CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona football program announced on Tuesday that Jim Michalczik will be the new Wildcats offensive line coach.

The announcement comes after the departure of former offensive line coach Robert Anae, who assumed the role of the offensive coordinator at BYU. Michalczik spent the last two seasons as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at California. He was the offensive line coach there from 2002-2008, and spent 2009-2010 as the Oakland Raiders’ offensive line coach. While at Cal, Michalczik aided the Bears in making eight winning seasons and seven bowl games.

In 23 years of coaching at both the collegiate and NFL levels, Michalczik has coached current NFL players Alex Mack and Mitchell Schwartz of the Cleveland Browns, as well as Brian De La Puente, currently with the New Orleans Saints.

The 1988 graduate of Washington State appeared in the 1988 Aloha Bowl as a member of the Cougars and has also coached at Oregon State, Montana State and Miami, where Michalczik was a member of the coaching staff during the Hurricanes’ 1991 undefeated national championship season.

Scott’s concussion problems this season as a red flag.

“Scott is leaner than scouts would prefer,” wrote CBS’ Sports senior draft analyst Rob Rang after Arizona played Stanford on Oct. 6.

“But he demonstrated the toughness, mobility and most importantly, the arm talent to reward an NFL team willing to gamble on his upside.”

In the 51-48 overtime loss to the Cardinal, Scott threw a UA-record 69 pass attempts, completing 45 for 491 yards and three touchdowns.

After Scott led Arizona to a comeback New Mexico Bowl win on Dec. 15 against

that will lose senior starters Trace Biskin and Kyle Quinn from a season ago to graduation.

In 2012, the Wildcats gave up 18 sacks, or 1.38 per game, good enough for 28th in the nation and second in JIM MICHALCZIK the Pac-12 conference.

Injuries to Biskin and Quinn ravaged the line in 2012, but sophomore running back Ka’Deem Carey was still able to rush for a single-season school record 1,929 rushing yards on 303 carries.

Carey led the nation in rushing and also set the Arizona single season record for touchdowns with 23.

Anae was the offensive line coach for two years and was the lone assistant from the Mike Stoops regime retained on Rich Rodriguez’s staff in 2011.

“All the offensive line, they’re going to miss him dearly,” Quinn said of Anae last week. “He was my mentor and he taught me the toughness that’s needed, and he just made me a better football player. I’m forever grateful to him.”

Quinn will be appearing in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl on Saturday at 4 p.m.

— Additional reporting by Zack Rosenblatt

Nevada, at least one anonymous NFL scout came away impressed, according to Rang.

“Look at the rookie quarterbacks playing so well this year — they all have the ability to extend plays due to their mobility,” the scout told Rang. “That’s where the NFL is going now at the quarterback position. Scott has that ability, too. He’s the guy lying in the weeds that I could see jumping up and surprising some people with how high he goes.”

The East-West Shrine game will take place at 2 p.m. MST on Saturday at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., and will be broadcast on the NFL Network.

Arizona plans to join the Pac-12 conference, where four schools — UCLA, California, Stanford and USC — currently have a Division I sand volleyball program.

With auditions and re-auditions for the Bachelor of Fine Arts theatre and musical theatre programs coming up, tensions are high for hopeful actors and actresses at the UA. Ellie Halevi, a sophomore transfer student, is anxiously awaiting her musical theatre audition later this semester.

Halevi has lots of experience in acting and musical theatre but said that the UA audition process is still harrowing.

“I must prepare two contrasting excerpts from musical theatre songs, show off vocal range and also show an understanding of the meaning of the song and context of the show,” Halevi said. “Finally, there is a list of monologues to choose from. The instructions say to prepare another monologue just in case. What this really means is; prepare another monologue, you have no choice.”

After all the blood, sweat and tears dedicated to preparing for the audition, many students still do not see their hard work rewarded.

Students who do not do well in the BFA program audition are forced to make the difficult decision between changing their career goal and finding a different school at which to pursue their dreams.

“It sounds odd, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it,” Haveli said. “Obviously

arizona Daily Wildcat file photo ARIZONA REPERTORY THEATRE’S puts on productions like “Hay Fever” each semester, starring up-and-coming acting majors studying theater at the UA.

I’ll need to choose between theatre or a new major, but since that is such a huge decision, I don’t think I can make a good judgment call until I am actually faced with the decision. For now, I am focusing all of my attention on my upcoming audition.”

Acting sophomore Dillon Olmanson also knows the pressures of the BFA auditions. Olmanson is one of the lucky ones who passed not only his freshman audition but also his re-audition in his second semester.

His freshman acting class had 23 students, and he was one of 13 who passed the spring audition. But his trials aren’t over yet, as he will have to audition one more

time if he wants to stay in the program as a sophomore.

With this third audition quickly approaching, Olmanson faces the risk of being cut from the program yet again, but he remains confident.

“I do not have an alternate career path chosen. I am very driven with my goals, and I will try to accomplish them regardless of if I have earned my BFA degree or not,” Olmanson said. “If you have not been advanced, then you are not allowed to try again.”

Senior musical theatre major Caitlin Stegemoller can also speak to the competitive nature of the BFA Program at the UA. “A couple hundred people

audition each year to get into the BFA, either acting or musical theatre, and there are usually 18 to 20 people admitted into the freshman class, which means about half will be acting, half musical theatre,” Stegemoller said.

“There were seven musical theatre women admitted my freshman year. Still freaks me out that I managed to get in.”

These odds would be enough to make even the toughest pre-med student’s stomach turn. In the words of Halevi, “being a theatre major means living with rejection. You will not get cast in everything and training doesn’t guarantee you a job, but it’s really wonderful.”

Detox for the spring semester

Here are a few detox smoothies that your body will definitely appreciate:

Alyssa DeMember Arizona Daily Wildcat

From that fruitcake your grandma kept forcing you to eat after the third piece to corn syrup-ridden pecan pie to that five-layer lasagna with extra cheese, the holiday season was full of unhealthy food. Now that the season has ended, it’s time to get serious about what is going into your body again, starting with a detox.

The good thing about a detox is that it cleanses your body of toxins and builds up the lining of your stomach, intestines and colon. Doing a detox can regulate digestion, increase energy, improve skin complexion, reduce stress and improve concentration.

The intensity of desired detoxification will determine its duration, but a cycle typically runs between seven and 10 days.

Steer clear of alcohol, processed foods and refined sugars, including pastries, ice cream, pies and cakes.

Dairy and meat should be avoided as well, as these foods can be more difficult to digest and often have hidden sodium, sugars and added hormones that should be avoided.

If dairy is a must, opt for plain Greek yogurt. The active live cultures will help regulate digestion. For protein or

carbohydrates, try eggs (egg whites are even better) or quinoa (a type of grain).

In short, a vegan diet of nutrient-rich fruits and

vegetables is the best choice to clean out all of that junk. A liquefied diet is better as you will have an even easier time processing everything.

The amount of liquid and ice you add to each smoothie depends on your desired thickness. For added vitamins, include a bit of fresh kale, a highly nutritious leafy green.

And last but definitely not least, drink plenty of water.

Keep in mind that a detox is not the same as a regular diet, but all of the aforementioned foods can certainly be incorporated into your daily life at any time.
