SERVING THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA SINCE 1899

Funding proposal shortchanges the UA Under plan, ASU, NAU to receive $15 million to recoup from budget cuts

By Stephanie Casanova DAILY WILDCAT

Gov. Jan Brewer proposed a budget plan that will allocate a $15 million increase to the three in-state universities for one-time expenditures. A majority of the money, if her plan is approved by the

Legislature, will go to ASU and NAU in an attempt to make up for previously unfunded growth of the schools.

Over the past four years, Arizona’s state universities have faced significant budget cuts due to the recession. In order to make up for these cuts, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University chose to increase their enrollment, causing a funding disparity per student compared to the UA. Brewer has proposed a disparity fund to support the two schools’ growth.

The majority of money from the fund would go toward technology and repairs. The goal is to have more equal funding per student, and because the UA hasn’t grown nearly as much as the other schools, it would get a small percentage of the disparity funds.

“Our facilities are simply not big enough to take a large number of students,” said UA President Eugene Sander. “Consequently we have been working towards steady but increased growth of higher quality

students rather than taking on sheer numbers.”

Brewer’s budget plan also proposes another $15 million taken from the universities’ funding to be allocated to the three universities based on their performance. According to the Arizona Board of Regents President Tom Anderes, performance-based funding will be based on student enrollment, research productivity and complete credit hours.

“I think it indicates the way the Legislature views university

education in the state by not putting a value in the way the U of A approaches education,” said Roeland Hancock, a psychology graduate student and president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council. “The state seems to be more interested in simply producing students with college degrees without focusing on what kind of education they’re getting.”

CLUB SPOTLIGHT

Members of the Wildcat Fencing Club practice their maneuvers and fighting tactics at the Student Recreation Center on Friday. The club’s long-term goal is to become an NCAA-recognized team, which would allow the club to receive more funding.

Fencing seeks NCAA recognition

By Kevin Reagan DAILY WILDCAT

As the UA fencing club grows in size and wins in various competitions, its members continue to push for NCAA recognition.

Despite Wildcat Fencing’s growth and developing skills, the club is still in limbo about being recognized as a sanctioned team by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Jay Fowler, a junior majoring in business economics, philosophy, and management information systems and the club’s founder, said he is pushing forward and hopes for the NCAA’s consideration.

Fowler and three other original

members formed the club two years ago. Since then, the club has doubled in size each semester.

“It’s such an interesting sport that people don’t think they can actually do,” said Kaitlyn Fowler, a sophomore studying neuroscience and speech, language and hearing sciences.

Kaitlyn Fowler, an original member, was elected the club’s armorer last spring, meaning she is in charge of all of the club’s equipment.

“It’s a competitive sport, but there’s a huge sense of camaraderie between everyone,” said Salika Dunatunga, a sophomore majoring in computer science and molecular and cellular biology.

Wildcat Fencing is open to experts and novices alike. Mondays and Wednesdays are spent teaching warm-ups and drills, while Friday is an open fencing day where members can take part in practice duels.

“They do teach the basics very well,” she said.

Dunatunga has been fencing since childhood, and said she was impressed with how patient the more experienced fencers are when mentoring the members who have never held a sword before.

“It’s not as dangerous as it looks,” said Colin Roberts, an economics junior.

Roberts is Wildcat Fencing’s treasurer, and is responsible for

collecting the $40 fee each member must pay every semester, which goes to buying the large amount of equipment required for competitive fencing.

In the past year, the fencing club participated in their first tournament at Arizona State University, where the club ranked in second place. It also sent three of its members to compete in Junior Olympic Fencing.

“More people die playing golf rather than fencing every year,” said Jay Fowler. Fowler said he guarantees that the fencing club is for any student seeking some safe, heartpounding adrenaline that can’t be found anywhere else on campus.

Faculty and students in the Honors College commemorated the college’s 50th anniversary on Friday with a reception in the Slonaker House.

The event served as an opening celebration for future events and programs the college will host for the rest of year, according to Honors College Dean Patricia MacCorquodale.

“I think it is a wonderful kickoff to what will hopefully be a wonderful yearlong celebration,” MacCorquodale said. “It’s a big milestone and it is great looking back to see how much the college has grown in terms of its students and what it has to offer.”

During the event, guests were able to participate in a trivia competition in which players attempted to “stump a student” in the Honors College. They were also invited to cast their vote for the best study abroad photo submitted by UA students, as well as donate money to the Honors College’s new study abroad endowment.

“We have a lot of alumni out in the world and we want our students to be able to connect with them,” MacCorquodale said. She added that the establishment of the endowment and the college’s efforts to build relationships with former and current students are “really important.”

In 1962, the Honors College, which was originally known as the Honors Program, initiated 75 students with the help of a council composed of 13 UA faculty members. Today, the college works with more than 3,000 honors undergraduates and recently received a

Some decry proposed re-zoning West University area residents upset by potential new district

By Kevin Reagan DAILY WILDCAT

Residents and business owners of the West University neighborhood continue to ask for more regulations and a slower construction pace for the planned “overlay district” that will come with the modern streetcar project this year.

On Dec. 11, 2011, the Tucson City Council and Mayor Jonathan Rothschild adopted a new plan intended to conform to transit-oriented policies recently accepted by the Main Gate district, which encompasses University Boulevard. Among these policies is a $197 million investment to construct a modern streetcar line that will take pedestrians from First Street on the UA’s campus to the south end of Fourth Avenue.

“We’re taking students out of the neighborhood,” said Tom Warne, the developer for the Main Gate district. Warne was one of a few individuals who spoke in favor of rezoning the Main Gate district at a public hearing held at Tucson City Hall on Thursday. No representatives from the UA attended.

“The project is serving masstransit,” Warne said. Proponents of the re-zoned overlay district, a designated area of the city which allows for different design criteria, said it will amplify all transit-oriented uses.

Designers said the re-zoning would ensure clearer walkways, increased resting spots, unintrusive parking spaces and easier access to businesses. Those opposed to the rezoned overlay pointed out Tucson’s lack of need for higher urbanization.

“This seems to be more appropriate to cities like Chicago or L.A.,” COLIN PRENGER / DAILY WILDCAT said Howard Baldwin, an attorney Howard Baldwin, a Tucson attorney, spoke at a public hearing on Thursday about

High school actors invited to UA festival

By Kevin Reagan Daily Wildcat

Hundreds of high school students came to the UA campus on Saturday, dressed in a sleek, all-black wardrobe, ready to perform and share their love of theater with fellow colleagues of the community.

The School of Theatre, Film, and Television hosted its annual Southern Arizona Acting Festival, where dozens of high schools in the surrounding area were invited to take part in a variety of events that tested the students’ artistic and creative discipline.

“You experience a very different kind of acting,” said Cara Leverenz, a junior at University High School.

Students were encouraged to take part in events that challenged their skills in performing monologues, duet-acting, pantomime, solo and

ensemble musical numbers. Each student was individually evaluated by three judges who rated them on a scale of fair, good, excellent or superior. The judges were composed of volunteers with various types of theater background.

“It teaches you how to improve on a more professional level,” said Evan Cipra, a junior from Empire High School. Cipra was competing in one of the many technical events offered at the festival. Students had the opportunity to present a portfolio of sketches or models from previous productions and receive constructive feedback.

Festival attendees were able to perform their own ensemble material. education sophomore. Fernandez was the co-chair of the festival this Southern Arizona Acting Festival together and learn about the imporyear, and said she hoped that for can serve as a hub for arts edu- tance of the performing arts.

Howard said the re-zoned overlay policy is absurd because it allows a maximum height of 14 feet for buildings up and down Park Avenue.

“The compatibility of all the buildings is what makes this (the UA) a cohesive campus,” Baldwin said when explaining the noticeably different heights that the rezoned overlay permits to buildings that parallel the university campus.

Mcclatchy tribune

ORLANDO, Fla. — Looks can be deceiving in Florida’s feisty Republican presidential primary.

Mitt Romney has been drawing small crowds all week. The insurgent Newt Gingrich has hosted big, boisterous rallies. Yet the former Massachusetts governor has pulled far ahead of the former House speaker in statewide polls.

The preference for campaign venues makes sense to analysts — and the campaigns.

“Romney has a good organization and he’s building off of it,” said Peter Brown, the Orlandobased assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “Gingrich is the outsider candidate and he’s challenging the establishment.”

Romney — who has had a campaign presence in Florida for months and a money advantage that has him blistering away at Gingrich in TV ads — can host small, even intimate gatherings, confident that those there either have been invited or are diehard supporters who will spread the word to friends and neighbors.

Gingrich, on the other hand, lacking Romney’s disciplined organization, has to show energy and momentum to convince voters that

there’s a bandwagon worth jumping on. It also plays off his strategy as positioning himself as the spirited outsider in the race. And Gingrich feeds off large crowds restless with the direction of the country: Witness his performance in the spirited South Carolina debate that gave him an edge heading into Florida.

Historically, strategies like Gingrich’s work only in smaller states

— one reason he won the Jan. 21 South Carolina primary.

But in states like Florida, where an estimated 2 million people will cast ballots in Tuesday’s primary, organization matters. The Romney campaign was targeting Florida Republicans with mailers weeks ago when they began to get their absentee ballots, and thousands voted before the candidates crossed the state line.

On Jan. 17, officials of the ministry inspected the Tokyo-based company’s Kamakura plant in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The officials confirmed the quoted numbers of workers and project days were higher than actual figures in the production of Type 03 medium range surface-to-air missiles.

In fiscal 2009, the ministry contracted the company to produce the missiles at a cost of about 33.6 billion yen.

The ministry said it is unclear how much the amount was inflated.

The ministry plans to conduct a special investigation into the company starting on Monday to confirm whether similar acts had been made in other contracts.

Mitsubishi Electric provided missiles, radar and other defense equipment to the Self-Defense Forces.

In fiscal 2010, Mitsubishi Electric’s ministry contracts were worth about 119.7 billion yen, making it second-largest defense contractor behind Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. for that fiscal year.

JAXA and the Cabinet Satellite

Intelligence Center have also received similar tips, according to the entities. After they asked Mitsubishi Electric to examine the allegations, the company reported there was evidence of wrongdoing, the organizations said.

Since fiscal 2003, JAXA has had more than 1,000 contracts, worth about 320 billion yen, with the company. The contracts included the manufacture of the Kounotoriseries unmanned space cargo transfer vehicles for the International Space Station.

Since fiscal 2002, the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center has contracted the company for research and development of informationgathering satellites, mainly used to monitor military facilities in North Korea.

Both JAXA and the center said details about the bills were unknown.

A Mitsubishi Electric spokesman said, “It’s a fact that the costs of other projects were added to the contracts in question to pad the bills, but we can’t comment further as we are still investigating the case.”

Historic Preservation Zone. Rezone opponents questioned how the developers will be able to protect Tucson’s treasures from the high density that their modernized mass-transit promises.

Many opposed to the re-zoning said their biggest concern was the threat posed by the overlay district to the preservation of historical buildings. Although Main Gate district policy discourages the demolition of historical structures, opponents at the hearing looked to how Tucson has treated its history in the past.

“It appears to be a pattern,” Baldwin said. “Chopping away around historical buildings until there’s nothing left.”

“What is nice about the Honors College is that you have a smaller community feel, but you are still attached to the rest of the university,” said Josilyn Tan, a marketing sophomore and honors student.

“I think that the older the Honors College gets, the more it becomes a tradition of the UA and I’m proud to be a part of that.”

Mitsubishi Electric Corp. suspended for bill padding TOKYO — The Defense Ministry of Japan and two other government entities have suspended Mitsubishi Electric Corp. as a designated contractor because the company has been found to have inflated invoices, the ministry has announced.

The ministry, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center made the announcements and suspended the company Friday for unspecified periods. The ministry added that Mitsubishi contacted it to admit the allegations the same day.

The government entities allege the company inflated the number of workers and days required for projects in contracts and inflated invoices sent to the three entities.

The three said they will investigate the company’s actions further, including how many projects were padded, the amounts of overestimated payments and other details.

According to the ministry, it received tips around autumn last year that Mitsubishi Electric was billing improperly on contracts.

audition,” said Ellie Boyles, a senior from Canyon Del Oro High School. “I learn how to harness my nerves and use them to the best of my advantage.”

Boyles said she is planning on auditioning for both the Bachelor of Fine Arts musical theater and acting programs offered at the UA. In addition to the individual events, each of the schools was encouraged to bring a short, oneact play to compete at the festival.

This gave the students the chance to perform with their own ensemble and work with material that may not be as acceptable to their high school audience, such as “The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet.”

“We think we’re weird,” said Kelly Feild, a junior from University High School. “But SAAF is a place where everyone’s inner weirdness is not only accepted, but embraced.”

MacCorquodale said. “So I think it’s really important to reflect on our success, but also think it is important to see how that success builds for the future.”

In addition to the new study abroad endowment and building a stronger relationship with alumni, one of the bigger events the college is planning this year will be a talent show staring honors students. This will take place at Homecoming and a reception at the Slonaker House will be held after.

“We’ll be sitting down with the legislators and asking them for that money,” Anderes said. “I would be surprised if they don’t get some funding for the medical school (in Phoenix).”

Sander will meet with the appropriations committee of the House and Senate to discuss this year’s budget plan.

“Obviously we are disappointed that the governor didn’t make better recommendations concerning the U of A,” Sander said.

Pakistan holds physician with role in bin Laden raid MON

Mcclatchy tribune

LAHORE, Pakistan — A senior American official has for the first time admitted that a Pakistani doctor played a key role in tracking Osama bin Laden to his hideout in northern Pakistan, and called for his release.

The comments by U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta were the first public confirmation of a part of the bin Laden operation reported by McClatchy Newspapers last July, about how the CIA used Shakil Afridi to try to establish whether the al-Qaida leader was really living in a large house in Abbottabad, northern Pakistan.

Afridi has been in Pakistani custody since the country’s own spy agency, Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), learned of the secret task performed by the doctor, who set up a fake vaccination program in Abbottabad to get DNA samples from those staying at the compound.

The CIA was never certain that bin Laden was present in the house. Afridi worked for the American intelligence agency in the weeks leading up to the May 2 U.S. Navy Seals raid, setting up an elaborate scheme that was supposedly going house to house to vaccinate residents in Abbottabad.

Panetta, in an interview on CBS’s “60 Minutes” on Sunday, also voiced his belief that elements within Pakistan must

“It’s an unknown chemical,” Moran SAT said. “That’s exactly what we would have to deal with in a terrorist attack.”

Using a counterterrorism lab to SUN test for synthetic marijuana is the latest sign of how a multibillion-dollar national infrastructure built to detect or respond to chemical or biological attacks over the last decade has adapted to the lack of any actual attacks.

Stewart Baker, former head of policy at the Department of Homeland Security, said he wasn’t surprised that Little Rock’s high-tech lab is helping police ferret out potheads.

“Otherwise they would be like the Maytag repair man, just sitting there waiting for the phone to ring,” Baker said.

Congress has given more than $5 billion to states and territories since 2001 to prepare public health facilities, laboratories and first responders for a chemical or biological attack. Some $600 million is still issued in grants each year, including $7 million to Arkansas.

The impetus came shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks when letters laced with

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — When Jeffery H. Moran goes to work each day, he swipes his security badge, passes into an airtight chamber, opens a bombproof door and enters a lab full of deadly toxins.

As chief of the counterterrorism laboratory at the Arkansas Department of Health — one of 62 such federally funded labs in the country — he heads two dozen chemists who are on constant alert for the release of pestilence or poisons in the United States.

Armed with $2 million worth of new equipment, Moran concocts gruesome tests to keep his team sharp. He has laced samples of baby formula with lethal ricin. Poured rat poison into water bottles. Tainted blood with cyanide gas.

None of those are based on real plots, thankfully. So he’s added a new task — helping police in half a dozen states identify “Spice,” a chemical substance that produces a marijuana-like high and has sent hundreds of users into emergency rooms.

College education should be valued Luke Davis Daily Wildcat

P

resident Barack Obama’s State of the Union address tackled the issue of rising tuition costs on Tuesday night. Obama emphasized the value of Americans attending and graduating from a college or university. The president praised the success of American universities but also scolded them for continuously increasing the cost of tuition. He challenged them to lower the tuition cost so that all Americans can have the opportunity to pursue higher education.

The rising cost of tuition has not only made it harder for some Americans to graduate; it has completely shut the door on others.

An analysis by the Harvard Graduate School of Education of Current Population Survey data from October 2004 found that family income has a significant impact on the likelihood of attending college. In 2004, 75 percent of students whose families made more than $50,000 went on to immediately enter a postsecondary institution, compared to just 43 percent from families who made less than $30,000.

Disparities in income are also reflected in college retention and completion rates. A 2006 study found just 36 percent of low-income students finished a bachelor’s degree within eight years, while 81 percent of their high-income peers did so.

Most high-paying jobs will not hire an employee if they have not graduated from college, leaving the playing field uneven for Americans not fortunate enough to be born into privilege and wealth. They must work harder and possibly wait longer in order to save enough money just so they can attend a university.

Minimum-wage employment or community college offer alternatives in the meantime. That is why the president also stressed the importance of community colleges improving their teaching, as they are the higher education option for many Americans.

We shouldn’t completely change the way we view a college degree. We need society to put a high value on graduating college, so that everyone is offered an equal opportunity, regardless of personal income or good fortune. We need to make sure that the door is always open and that every American has the opportunity to improve their life and eventually their family’s lives. If we don’t allow all Americans to have this opportunity, then the disparity between social classes in the United States will inevitably widen.

Obama said exactly what needed to be said.

He put the responsibility in the hands of the universities to help these students. These institutions have the power and the voice to make a change for good. They need to use their power and share it with the ones who were not fortunate enough to be born with it.

Similarly, college students need to feel more blessed with the opportunities that we were born with, as many Americans do not have the opportunities to live a happier life like we do.

1. Space taker-uppers: Yes, these are the people who seem to think it is a great idea to take up a four-person table by themselves in the Student Union Memorial Center to read a book in the middle of lunch rush. Do you not see the 150 people holding their plates of food looking for a place to sit? The UA has this great place called the library. That would be a wonderful place to relocate your non-eating self.

2. Solicitors: These people linger around the union selling

kind of similar to the previous group.

unnecessary products. We go to the union to get food or meet up with our friends, plain and simple.

These people see that we are eating pizza or Panda Express and talking with our friend, but they still insist on approaching. “Would you be interested in a … (insert expensive item no one needs or wants here)?”

The best thing to do in that situation is to pretend you don’t speak English, or not make eye contact when you say “No, thank you.” Clearly, they don’t realize how expensive college is since they seem to think we all have this extra cash to spend on pointless items.

4. Boarders: You can hear these

people coming from about 20 feet behind you. The sad thing is, they don’t ever sound like they’re slowing down. Yes, it’s the infamous long boarders. Let’s be fair here — there are long boarders who actually ride where they are supposed to and keep their distance from students.

The irritating ones are those who think it’s a good idea to tailgate you to get you to move over. There are sidewalks for a reason, and there are streets for a reason. Figure it out.

5. Stoppers: These creatures think it is a great idea to stop in the middle of a busy sidewalk on campus to have a conversation. There is no such thing to them as pulling over out of the way, or simply waiting.

When you are one of these people, think back to this, and remember you are probably irritating someone at that moment. Snap out of it. Don’t be these people.

POLICE BEAT

By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT

Unmusical chairs

University of Arizona Police Department officers went to the Park Student Union on Tuesday afternoon after a female employee reported that a student had thrown a chair at her. The employee had approached the student and asked if the student was OK because he was not wearing pants. In response, he stood up and yelled profanities. The employee said she felt scared and threatened, so she started to run away to call the police. When the student realized that the employee was calling the police, he decided to throw a chair at her, nearly hitting her.

The student stormed out of PSU, but police eventually caught up with him. When the responding officer asked him to stop, the student yelled profanities back and continued to walk. The officer then signaled for backup. Officers with Tasers eventually surrounded the student, and arrested him on the ground. The student did not respond to any questions.

Officers read him his rights and sent him to Pima County Jail, where he was booked for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. The employee said she wanted to file charges against him.

The one that got away

A UAPD officer was traveling south on Campbell Avenue on Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in an unmarked car when he noticed a red vehicle traveling approximately 75 mph in a 55 mph zone. As the officer pulled behind the car, the driver of the car appeared to realize he was being pulled over and quickly turned left on 22nd Street. The officer turned left as well, but did not remember if it was a green light or green arrow. A silver Toyota traveling north crashed into the officer’s car on its passenger side. No one was seriously injured. The driver in the red car was able to get away. The officer and the owner of the silver Toyota waited as the Tucson Fire Department and tow trucks arrived to take away the cars.

Bad boyfriend breakdown

A female student was taken to a mental care facility on Tuesday at 6:45 p.m., after UAPD went to Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall in response to a call made by the resident assistant. The RA said a female student was writing, texting and telling people that she was going to commit suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills. When police spoke to her and asked why she wanted to commit suicide, she said she just found out that her boyfriend of one year had been cheating on her.

The officer then asked if she had always been on numerous pills and mentally unstable, and the student said, “I have been since I was a freshman in high school.” The officer asked her if she would like to speak with a professional at the Crisis Response Center, but she declined. The officer felt that she was a danger to others and herself, so he requested an involuntary petition to a mental institution. A team of specialists from the Crisis Response Center evaluated and signed the petition, and the student was transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center – South Campus.

He’s been playing exceptionally well the last three games. We sorely missed him.”

— Arizona head coach Sean Miller on forward Kevin Parrom

Hoops drops UW game, loses Parrom for year

UA’s ceiling apparent in whiteout loss

Junior forward’s year from hell continues with fractured right foot

Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

N

By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat The news went from bad to worse on Saturday night for the Arizona men’s basketball team.

After the Wildcats lost a 69-67 heartbreaker to the Washington Huskies, head coach Sean Miller and the team found out that forward Kevin Parrom will miss the remainder of the season after breaking a bone in his right foot.

The junior was injured at the end of the first half, and did not return to the Arizona bench until eight minutes had passed in the second half. When Parrom returned, he was wearing a boot on his foot.

According to a press release from Arizona Athletics, Parrom’s injury is not related to any of his previous injuries, including lingering effects from when the New York native was shot in late September 2011. After the game, Miller hoped the injury was just nerve pain and that Parrom would be able to return, but the injury requires season-ending surgery.

“He had a lot of nerve pain,” Miller said.

“He got hit in either the leg or the foot and the fact that he’s confused on whether it’s his leg or foot kind of showed you that it triggered off a lot of the symptoms that he’s had since he was shot this fall.”

Parrom was working his way back and the last three games had shown promise. Against Colorado two weeks ago, he recorded his first double-figure scoring output since December. On Saturday, Parrom left the game with seven points, two assists and three rebounds in 10 minutes.

“The 10 minutes he played in the first half, I thought (he) was the best on the court,” Miller said. “He’s been playing exceptionally well the last three games. We sorely missed him.”

Losing Parrom for the season due to injury added to the pain of how the much-hyped College GameDay weekend played out.

“It was like the Oregon game all over again,” junior Solomon Hill said. “We got off to a slow start and came back in the second half but it wasn’t enough.”

The Wildcats had a shot to win it at the end after forward Solomon Hill tied the game with eight seconds left in the game.

The 3-pointer was part of a 28-point, 11-rebound performance for Hill, and Miller said the forward had his best game of his career at Arizona.

“Solomon Hill’s performance really brought us back in the end,” Miller said.

“He gave us the opportunity to get the win by how he played in the entire second half and especially in the last 10 minutes. It’s only disappointing that we couldn’t get a win to go with it.”

But a foul was called on freshman guard Josiah Turner that sent C.J. Wilcox to the line. With the made free throws by Wilcox, Washington went up by two.

Arizona forward Kevin Parrom drives against Washington on Saturday. Parrom will miss the rest of the season after breaking a bone in his right foot in the game’s first half.

“The ref made the call and it sucks that it was with so little time left,” Hill said.

Turner had five seconds after the made free throws to get a shot up, but Washington’s Troy Wroten blocked it. By the time Nick Johnson finished the play with a follow-up dunk, time had already expired.

But the story of the game was written well before the very end. The Wildcats had 15 turnovers and allowed the Huskies to haul in 18 offensive rebounds, something that Miller said was difficult for the team to overcome.

Colin Darland / Daily Wildcat “When you’re playing with three guards and two forwards,” Miller said, “you really Kevin Parrom was put in a walking boot after breaking a bone in his right foot. can’t afford to turn the ball over.”

W-Hoops continues downward spiral

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

After the Wildcats’ fourth straight loss came in the game against Washington State by a score of 78-68, women’s basketball coach Niya Butts said mental mistakes have been a problem area, especially against the Cougars.

“I thought we played harder to today but we still made silly mistakes,” Butts said in a press release. “We made poor, poor decisions.”

Butts cited the Wildcats’ 23 turnovers and the giving up of 16 offensive rebounds and 12 second-chance points as primary reasons for their downfall.

After opening the season with a 10-year best record of 11-1, Arizona’s recent swoon has dropped them to 13-8 on the season, and alone at the bottom of the Pac-12 with a 2-7 conference record.

“We need to keep fighting,” Butts said. “We’re not that far away and we have to keep pushing.”

The Wildcats started off the game with a 10-9 lead after a 3-pointer by junior guard Davellyn Whyte, but that was the last time they would lead in the game. With 8:17 remaining, the Wildcats trailed 57-51, and that’s the closest the game would get.

“We played better down the stretch defensively but we didn’t finish our defense,” Butts said.

“We didn’t have that second effort

early one year ago, on a Saturday night in McKale Center, Arizona’s version of the whiteout was born.

Derrick Williams kick-started Arizona’s eventual Elite Eight run with the block heard around the world, and everyone from UA students to ESPN’s GameDay circled part deux of the whiteout on their calendars.

The foundation for a long-lasting rivalry between Arizona and Washington was set and the city of Tucson was buzzing in anticipation for round 2.

Students gave up their coveted Friday night plans to line up outside of McKale Center until the doors opened at 6 a.m. Some students even transitioned from Smirnoff to 5-hour Energy, staying up all night to watch the ESPN GameDay crew go to work.

When game time came around, the ZonaZoo brought a level of electricity rarely felt in McKale Center before.

Within the sea of white were super-fans in banana costumes, blue monkey suits and superhero masks. Even students dressed in Cookie Monster, Gumby and the Three Blind Mice outfits decided to join the party.

But regardless of the McKale was constant buzz and as lively as it has been in recent hoopla surrounding the memory and the game, Arizona couldn’t Wildcats had evhide its deficiencies erything in place to ride that energy to on Saturday. With the a must-win victory nation watching, the against the Huskies.

Wildcats’ weaknesses But regardless were on display. of the constant buzz and hoopla surrounding the game, Arizona couldn’t hide its deficiencies on Saturday.

With the nation watching, the Wildcats’ weaknesses were on display.

A raucous McKale Center wasn’t going to change the Wildcats’ inability to win close games, as it moved to 0-4 in games decided by four points or less.

The presence of Bob Knight, Digger Phelps, Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis couldn’t give UA’s vertically challenged front line a few more inches. Nick Johnson’s love confession for Miley Cyrus before the game didn’t pull him out of his freshman slump.

The whiteout couldn’t mask Arizona’s youth, evident by the Wildcats’ newest version of the block, starring Josiah Turner and his inability to recognize time and score when trying to draw a charge 85 feet from the hoop with five ticks remaining.

Behind all the glitz and glamour that is ESPN GameDay and Arizona’s Whiteout lays a team that’s simply mired in mediocrity. A team that, regardless of Solomon Hill’s career night and spirited effort, lacks star power. A team that, aside from the hype and star rankings, starts two freshman guards in its backcourt. A team that has a 6-foot-7 small forward starting at center. A team that’s relying on a defender and spot-up shooter as one of its main offensive options.

A team that lives and dies by the 3-pointer because there’s simply no other option.

Arizona played exactly how it had all season long against the Huskies, leaving UA and its faithful fans deflated.

Last five games 1-4 record 57.6 points per game 12.2 assists per game 18.4 turnovers per game 36.2 field goal percentage 25.6 3-point percentage when we needed it and we gave into fatigue.”

For Washington State, senior guard Jazmine Perkins paced the Cougars with 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting to go along with 12 rebounds, four assists and seven steals.

Arizona center Aley Rohde had one of her better games of her freshman season in the loss, leading all scorers with 15 points to go with five rebounds and one blocked shot.

Junior Davellyn Whyte’s shooting struggles continued, as she shot 4-of-9 from the field. Whyte still finished with 11 points and 10 rebounds for her fourth double-double of the season, to go along with five assists and six steals.

The Wildcats return to Tucson this weekend to take on Pac-12 powerhouses California and fourth-ranked Stanford.

Hockey can’t end streak Hockey’s playoff hopes are all but over after losses to ASU

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

For all intents and purposes, the Arizona hockey team’s season ended the same way it started — being swept on the road against ASU. The No. 19 Wildcats again came up short against the No. 3 Sun Devils, losing 4-3 Friday and 10-3 Saturday at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe, Ariz., pushing their winless streak against ASU to 22 games and all but ending any hopes of making the playoffs.

“We’re going to try and approach every game like we are going to nationals, and until we’re told we’re not going to nationals, we aren’t going to accept anything less from our own team,” forward Blake Richards said.

A pair of one-goal losses to No. 13 Davenport at home last weekend nearly burst the Wildcat’s bubble, but they still had a chance to sneak in if they could manage to secure a win against the talented Sun Devils.

Instead, Arizona was unable to overcome the talent disparity, and the Wildcats’ once-promising season came to an emphatic end Saturday.

Even though nationals probably won’t happen, defender Jonathan

Amy webb / Daily Wildcat

The Arizona hockey team’s playoff chances are almost nonexistent after being swept by ASU in Tempe, Ariz., over the weekend.

Watanabe said the team is going to play every night like it’s a playoff game.

“We’re playing for our school, we’re playing for the new program,” Watanabe said. “We still need to come out every (night) and play as if something’s on the line because it is. We’re playing for respect, we’re playing for our school, we’re playing for pride.”

Arizona looked like it had its chance on Friday after a goal by assistant captain Brady Lefferts in the

third period cut the Sun Devil’s lead to 4-3, but the comeback ultimately came up short and the team lost its third straight one-goal game.

The next game, on Saturday, the Wildcats had no chance.

After already giving up three goals in the first period, the floodgates opened as the Sun Devils scored five more in the second period, slamming the door shut on the Wildcats’

Arizona’s No. 1-ranked and undefeated swimming team faced its toughest test of the season over the weekend against No. 2 Texas, but the Wildcats escaped unscathed.

Senior Cory Chitwood led the Wildcats as he finished first in the 200-yard Individual Medley and the 200-yard backstroke. The backstroke event may have been a preview of the NCAA finals, as many of the swimmers will compete in the NCAA race for the event.

“We came off probably the hardest weekend we will face all season,” Chitwood said. “After beating Cal and Stanford, to come

national tournament hopes.

After a few unlucky plays led to an early deficit, the team became mentally frustrated and lost composure, Watanabe said.

“It’s an emotional game, it always is against ASU, and I think we just got a little frustrated after they got a couple goals on us,” he said.

This loss makes the Wildcats 0-5-1 against the Sun Devils this season, and Arizona has been outscored 36-17 in the series. They still have one more shot at redemption against ASU, as they play them in the final series of the season at home.

“It’s always painful if you lose to a rival like ASU,” Lefferts said. “The first game we battled hard. With a loss like that, you kind of keep your head up. It’s a tough loss, but we played well, we played with them. But (Saturday), not a lot went right. … A loss like that’s really hard to take.”

of the race, the Wildcats missed out on three of their better events.

However, Hansen said this was not seen as a fallback but a learning experience.

“This is the old-school format and it gave away three events that we are good at,” Hansen said. “I thought it was a good idea to deal with some adversity because we are going to deal with adversity.”

Arizona will close out the regular season with a dual meet on Feb. 11 against ASU in Tempe.

The men’s team trounced the Longhorns 155-88 in what was the final home meet for the Arizona seniors, who have been a key component to the success of the Wildcats this season, according to head coach Eric Hansen.

“With the way they executed, that says everything,” Hansen said.

“They really pulled it off today.”

The women were behind for most of their 128-115 loss to the Longhorns but came back to close the gap toward the end.

“Our women swam well even though we got beat,” Hansen said.

“Some of our holes were obvious and that’s our job going into championship season.”

Q

I had two of the three HPV vaccine shots done last year but became extremely busy around the time the third one was due and never got around to having it done. Am I immune? Can I still get the final shot and will it still be effective? Is there a safe way to test for immunity? My girlfriend and I have clean histories.

A. With the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, individuals are encouraged to adhere to the initial, 2-, and 6-month vaccination schedule.

Patients often do not follow-up for their (HPV) immunizations on schedule. While it’s impossible to say exactly HOW immune you are after just two shots, research indicates that you have some level of protection from the strains of the virus that are associated with genital warts, cervical, anal, and penile cancers. As to testing for your immunity, there’s currently not an easy, affordable, reliable test to check for protective effect.

Merck, the makers of Gardasil, provided us with published medical literature of clinical research studies that indicate a benefit in getting the 3rd dose... as soon as possible. In one study, vaccine effectiveness remained high in persons who did not follow the recommended schedule, suggesting some flexibility in the spacing of doses. In other clinical studies, effectiveness has been demonstrated in individuals who have received all 3 doses within a 1-year period.

More data on the timing and number of doses and their impact on efficacy are needed.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended routine use of Gardasil HPV vaccine in males aged 11 or 12 years. ACIP also recommended vaccination for males aged 13 through 21 years who have not been vaccinated previously or who have not completed the 3-dose series.

The CDC’s ACIP position on Gardasil HPV vaccination for females is following: 11- to 12-year-old females should be vaccinated routinely and 13- to 26-year-old females should be vaccinated if not previously vaccinated.

Bottom line? Go get your 3rd (and final) shot as soon as you can.

Let’s face it...

the Academy screwed up

By Josh Weisman DAILY WILDCAT

I

t wasn’t always this way. Back in 2001, when a historical biopic could share the Best Picture lineup with a musical, a crime drama and a fantasy epic, viewers didn’t have to love every nominee. In fact, they could argue against every one of them. What people did have, though, was something to root for, with films that moved them in a way the others didn’t, a reason to sit in front of the TV and actually give a damn who won. There was room for debate, and the debate was epic.

Flash forward to 2011. The nominees for Best Picture: Nine films, two of them actually about filmmaking. In a year filled with inspiring, varied work — when an actor’s portrayal of an ape carried an entire film, when a story about surviving cancer drew as many laughs as it did tears, when a movie about cage-fighting fought its way onto every top 10 list that mattered — we’ve summed it all up to … this?

It’s a sad time for cinephiles. The votes are in and dream though we might, there’s nothing we can do to change them. What we can do, however, is talk about what deserved to be picked, so for what it’s worth, here’s one lowly film geek’s list of would-be nominees for the best of 2011:

Pleats are “in.” And while we may not be seeing a whole lot of pleated skirts on campus right now, they’ve been spotted in New York City street fashion, celebrity photos and magazine spreads.

Let’s also not forget to mention Miuccia Prada’s ‘50s-inspired ready-to-wear line for spring 2012. It’s all about the pleats. Elle magazine devoted a whole page to knife-pleated skirts in its February issue. And if Elle says yes to pleats, I say yes to pleats.

If any of you went to private school, you might associate knife pleats (aka electric pleats) with your plaid jumper. Or maybe you associate them with your tennis or cheerleading uniform. Whatever fashion don’ts you’re imagining, put them aside; pleats are sleek and classy if worn with garments that complement them.

Since this is a tricky style to pull off, knowing how to wear it is the key. The nice thing about pleated skirts is they will easily take you from winter to spring because of their versatility.

Professional pleats

As a student, the primary use won’t be walking around campus.

Wear a pleated skirt to work, an internship or even a Monday night chapter dinner.

A pleated A-line skirt is a wardrobe must-have. Most women have that fabulous black pencil skirt that looks great on their figure. But most of us aren’t always in the mood for figure-hugging garments on our off-days. A pleated skirt is loose, flowy and feminine. Not only will it make an impression for business-casual occasions, but
