A traffic light lays on the corner of Sixth Street and Highland Avenue after a Jeep Cherokee toppled the pole in an attempt at avoiding another vehicle. The streetlight severely injured a 25-year-old UA student as it fell.

Streetlight crushes student

Car accident knocks over pole, hits 25-year-old pedestrian in head By Michelle A. Monroe and Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A UA student with lifethreatening injuries was transported to a hospital after being hit by a falling streetlight pole, police said. The 19-year-old driver of a maroon Jeep Cherokee was heading east on Sixth

Street approaching Highland Avenue. There was a green traffic light for cars traveling from east to west, and one vehicle was attempting to turn south onto Highland Avenue, said Sgt. David Fernandez , a Tucson Police Department officer who was at the scene of the accident. The vehicle stopped in the middle of the road as pedestrians

were walking in the crosswalk. The Cherokee went onto the sidewalk and hit a pole in an attempt to avoid hitting the stopped vehicle. The Cherokee knocked the pole over, and it hit a pedestrian. The 25-year-old UA student was transported to a hospital, according to TPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Matt Ronstadt. “The kid was waiting to

walk across, and the car hit the pole and the pole hit the kid,” said Sara Morvay, a UA student who saw the accident’s aftermath. “I walked out right as the pole fell. The ambulance got here right away. I saw the side of his body, it was all bloody and limp. Then the kid screamed,” she said as

Could you give up Facebook for a week? “Yeah, I probably should actually,” said Casey McCormick, an elementary education junior, laughing. “It’s distracting with school and stuff, especially being a junior and getting into my major, it’s a lot more work.” Hwan Cho, a pre-business sophomore, was not so quick to agree. “No, probably not, to tell you the truth. It’s a pretty big part of my life right now and it keeps me up to date with everything I need to know,” he said. The saturation of Facebook on campuses prompted Eric Darr, provost of Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Pennsylvania, to place a blackout on social media last month. Students and faculty could not access Facebook, Twitter or instant messaging on campus for a week. STUDIES, page 3

House nominees Laminating costs delay project debate By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The continually postponed residence hall displays project heads through another hoop with the formerly excluded lamination costs up for funding at this week’s ASUA Senate meeting. The project is Sen. Chad Travis’ first senate project of the year. It is one of several monetary requests and ASUA appointments that require full senate approval. As both item #S10093 and #S10096 are on the agenda, the $58.10 lamination costs were excluded from the first funds approval for the posters to reduce costs. Discussions between the Residence Hall Association and Travis with poster placement caused the delay in posting them until this point, according to Travis. Travis had hoped for the posters to be up by the end of last month. Monday’s appropriation

board consent agenda, the week’s rundown of clubs which have requested and received funding, which approved only $1,364.79 of the $8,689.85 request, also needs senate approval at the meeting. The appropriations board struck club funding for the Jewish Voice for Peace and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. This comes after the tabling of the Jewish Voice for Peace’s first request last week. Also for the appropriations board, an additional member requires ASUA Senate approval at the meeting as an executive vice presidential appointment. Carlita Cotton, proposed appropriations board director and psychology undergraduate student, awaits senate approval Wednesday. The board, including seven directors who review and grant requests, “allocates approximately $150,000 to different clubs and organizations to help their efforts to contribute to the

First Chilean miners rescued MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS COPIAPO, Chile — The first of 33 miners trapped for 69 days in a collapsed mine a halfmile underground has reached the surface. Florencio Avalos, 31, a foreman, was winched to freedom inside a slim capsule pulled through the 28-inch-wide shaft that had been drilled to reach the men’s underground refuge. He emerged to ecstatic cheers

from rescue workers and the families of the miners, but was shielded from the view of the reporters, who had arrived from around the world to cover the dramatic event. The other miners are expected to be rescued at a rate of about one an hour, barring accidents or obstacles. The plan is to have the last of the miners on the surface within two days. Luis Urzua, 54, who emerged as the leader of the miners during the

ordeal, is to be the last out. Miners’ relatives, government officials and media representatives all eagerly awaited the first sign of a successful rescue on what was the 69th day of captivity for the men. President Sebastian Pinera arrived at the mine Tuesday to see the rescue efforts and greet the miners. “We made a promise to never MINERS, page 3

Stephanie Attanasio, a social services sophomore at Pima Community College, paints her thoughts regarding domestic violence onto a shirt on the UA Mall Tuesday. As part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Campus Health’s Oasis Program, along with Emerge, were on the Mall to raise awareness and encourage people to speak out against domestic violence, sexual assault and other types of abusive relationship situations.

Celebrities susceptible to bed bugs, too

Bradley Cooper, Renée Zellweger, Howard Stern.... What do these celebrities have in common aside from money, fame and paparazzi camped outside their homes and places of business? That would be bed bugs. The blood-sucking nuisances have attacked them in hotels, houses, apartments — even their limousines! Howard Stern announced on his Sirius XM Radio show that he was still “scratching every minute,” but that his apartment in New York City

was now supposedly “100 percent bed bug-free.” Same with his limo, where trained dogs sniffed out even more of the little buggers. New couple Cooper and Zellweger had to throw out their mattress according to The National Enquirer. “Renee was really creeped out,” a source told the tabloid, adding “Bradley’s been traveling a lot and staying in various hotels, and figures he must have picked up the bed bugs somewhere and brought

them home.” Pop star Lauren Hildebrandt was bit by the bugs while staying at hotels in New York City. “People should be aware of the danger in NYC hotels right now,” she said in a press release, “I couldn’t sleep at night, because I kept thinking they were in my bed.” While the name of the hotel has not been released, it is suspected to be a luxury chain hotel located in Union Square. — FoxNews.com

Feds lift moratorium on deep-water offshore oil McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — The Obama administration Tuesday lifted a moratorium it imposed on deepwater offshore oil drilling in July during the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, saying that new rules should make it safer. While all work isn’t expected to resume immediately, the timing of the announcement — six weeks ahead of schedule and three weeks before congressional and state elections — could give Democrats a boost at the polls. The moratorium has been blamed for thousands of lost jobs in an already damaged economy

and posed a potential drag on some Democrats’ election prospects. Both candidates in the Louisiana Senate race, Republican David Vitter and Democratic Rep. Charlie Melancon, have criticized the moratorium. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., has been holding up Senate confirmation of President Barack Obama’s nominee to head the Office of Management and Budget, Jacob Lew, to protest the moratorium. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, announcing the move in a teleconference, said he expects criticism from both camps: industry

interests who say the new standards are too onerous and drilling opponents who say the moratorium is being lifted too soon. To the latter group, Salazar said, “The truth is, there will always be risks associated with deep-water drilling. But we have now reached a point where we have significantly, in my view, reduced those risks.” Even as the nation seeks more clean-energy alternatives, Salazar said, “We will still need oil and gas from the Gulf of Mexico to power our cars, our homes and our industry. But we can and we will make the drilling of oil and gas in the Gulf of Mexico safer than it ever has been.”

Fast Company magazine reported Sept. 27 that, according to Darr about 68 percent of students found the experience positive and enlightening, while the remaining responses were negative. The university found that 15 percent of students were using some form of social media between 11 and 20 hours a day. When do these users find time to study? They often don’t. A 2009 study conducted at Ohio State University found that Facebook users spent less time studying than non-users, one to five hours per week compared to 11 to 15 hours per week.

This had an effect on their grades: study participants who used Facebook had GPAs between 3.0 and 3.5. Non-users had GPAs between 3.5 and 4.0. Other studies find generally positive effects of Facebook use. Wired blog Epicenter reported Aug. 18 that a study recently published in the Journal of College Student Retention found that freshmen who were active Facebook users were more likely to continue with college than nonusers. The study was conducted at Abilene Christian University. It concluded that instead

of replacing their social lives, Facebook was a reflection of them. The study’s conclusion mirrors how McCormick and Cho have used Facebook for non-social purposes. “For my sorority actually, we’re having a benefit concert and I’m one of the chairs in charge of it,” McCormick said. “So people like sponsorships have contacted me about that through Facebook because they may not have my email or something. They’ll find me and contact me through that, so that’s helpful.”

WASHINGTON — A California federal district judge Tuesday ordered the U.S. military to stop enforcing “don’t ask, don’t tell” worldwide, calling it unconstitutional. However, it remains unclear whether the military will begin enforcing the injunction by 9th District Court Judge Virginia Phillips immediately. Pentagon officials said that department lawyers were reviewing the ruling, as was the Justice Department. President Barack Obama has pledged to end the policy, which permits gays and lesbians to serve in the military only if they keep their sexual orientation private. Otherwise they’re to be discharged. The ruling presents Obama with a delicate choice. Appealing the decision would offend gays and civil libertarians, who are important Democratic constituency groups. Letting the decision stand unchal-

lenged could intensify conservative opposition to his party and him with congressional elections three weeks away. Polls show widespread rejection of the Democrats’ agenda. Last month Phillips, a Bill Clinton appointee, ruled that the prohibition is unconstitutional in a lawsuit brought by lawyers for the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay group. In her 85-page ruling, Phillips said she’d issue an injunction, which she did Tuesday. Log Cabin Republicans “established at trial that the ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ act irreparably injures service members by infringing their fundamental rights,” Phillips wrote, adding that the law violates the First Amendment. The federal government has 60 days to appeal her decision. The Obama administration had said previously that the law should be repealed by Congress, not the courts, but it declined to say Tuesday whether it would appeal the ruling.

I saw the kid, and it seemed like he was unconscious and there (was) a puddle of blood. “The kid was bloody. When the paramedics came, they tried to keep him from moving, and I just heard him scream. I couldn’t take it anymore and left.”

surrender and we kept it,” Pinera said. As relatives waited for details about when their loved ones were to be hoisted up aboard the Phoenix rescue capsule, they said they were allowing themselves to feel an enormous sense of relief. Juan Alcalipe, whose sonin-law Osma Araya, 30, was among the trapped miners, said he was excited to be so close to the end of a nightmare. Araya, he said, won’t be returning to work at the mine.

“The Department of Justice is studying the court’s ruling. Any specific questions about this pending litigation should be directed to the Department of Justice,” the White House said in a statement. At the Pentagon, “Our lawyers, in consultation with the Department of Justice, are looking at it now to see what it means,” said spokesman Col. David Lapan. Gay-rights advocates hailed the ruling as the end of the 17-year-old policy. The injunction could increase pressure on Congress to repeal the law. Last month, the Senate set aside the defense authorization bill after repeal proponents tacked on an amendment to end “don’t ask, don’t tell.” Republicans opposed the amendment and blocked efforts to end debate and vote on the bill. The Senate is expected to take up the bill again, with a repeal amendment attached, after the Nov. 2 elections.

The new rules, issued two weeks ago, include requirements for worst-case planning requirements and third-party verification that blowout preventers and other equipment work properly. Oil rig operators also will be required to show they have enough materials to contain oil in the case of a blowout. The BP spill began April 22 after an explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig, and it took until July 15 to stop the flow of oil from a well nearly a mile underwater. An estimated 4.1 million barrels of oil flowed into the Gulf in the nation’s worst man-made environmental disaster.

“My daughter won’t let him,” Alcalipe said. Near the rescue site were containers that were to serve as a makeshift clinic, where for two hours the miners are to receive first aid if needed and be given the chance to shower and change clothes. Farther up a steep incline, past enormous cranes and other equipment used in the rescue effort, were a half-dozen container-like structures where miners were to be reunited with their families.

A.Dear Confused in Class: It’s important to understand that each student has his or her own learning style which refers to the way that individuals learn best. A learning style develops over time and is a combination of natural preferences and interactions with the environment. Because instructors each have their own teaching style and cannot change their class structure to meet the needs of individual students, it is important that you find ways to adapt to different teaching styles. As a visual learner, there are a few things you can do to help yourself succeed in class: •Sitting in the front of the room and away from any windows will help you to focus on the material. •To help yourself visualize concepts, re-word notes into charts and graphs. •When studying, use flash cards and visual images to remember main points. •As you take the actual exam, draw charts, maps, etc. to help you recall information. There are also things that students who are auditory learners can do: •Sit close to the speaker so that you are not distracted by other noises. •Listen for specific information and don’t let note taking interfere with listening. •To free yourself from having to take notes while trying to listen, use a tape recorder (with the permission of the instructor). Make sure to listen to the tape and update notes as soon as possible after each class! •Participate in the class discussion so you can reinforce your learning verbally and stay focused. •Read the text to yourself out loud. •Study with other students in a group so you can talk about what you have learned. Last, but not least, here are some tips for kinesthetic (hands-on) learners: •Raise your hand and volunteer to answer questions frequently so you can stay involved in the discussion. •Take lots of notes and recopy them after class. •Position yourself so you have plenty of room to move around.

EDITORIAL Pass/Fail Academic integrity protocol gets a makeover The UA has begun to offer an alternative to the draconian automatic failing grade approach to academic integrity violations. Instead of failing the course in which they committed the violation and risking expulsion from their department, students are now offered the chance to take a rigorous eight-hour crash course on the meaning of academic integrity. The course emphasizes paraphrasing and summarizing information as well as the correct way to cite sources, according to the Arizona Daily Star. While cheating and plagiarism are major offenses that should be taken seriously, students are often unaware that they’re committing such academic sins. A combination of the Internet age, which makes information incredibly easy to copy and paste into one’s own assignment, and uneven high school instruction in proper citation methods, students often technically plagiarize without knowing they’ve done anything wrong. In addition, the punishment for academic integrity has, in the past, not varied with the degree of the infraction; paraphrasing a passage too closely and lifting an entire essay from another source have been met with the same disciplinary process. This new program serves two purposes: It gives students the opportunity to regain the trust of the university and their professors and allows them to learn more about a set of rules they likely find confusing and difficult to navigate. For allowing students a second chance when it comes to academic integrity, the UA gets a pass.

Adults no better than schoolyard bullies

The latest in the recent string of gay teenagers taking their own lives came when Zach Harrington, a 19-yearold from Norman, Okla., committed suicide after attending a Norman City Council meeting. The council discussed recognizing October as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender History Month in the city. The public debate portion of the meeting lasted three hours and was marked with “intolerant grumblings” and “toxic” comments opposing the measure, according to an Oct. 10 article in The Norman Transcript. Harrington left the meeting having heard adult members of his community say over and over that his way of life was unacceptable and sinful. A week later, he was dead. Parents and other adults have roasted the school-aged bullies who allegedly led to the suicides of several other gay teenagers in recent months, but the events in Norman prove there’s nothing separating those bullies from their parents. In fact, the adults at the meeting are substantially more culpable because they should know better. Children learn their hatred from their elders, and rarely understand the full extent of the consequences of their actions. Adults, on the other hand, should have been sensitive enough to understand that their poisonous rhetoric might be heard by someone who could be very, very hurt by it. For failing to act with thought or compassion, and for possibly driving a young man to take his own life, those Norman meeting attendees all get the most emphatic fail.

Republicans out of touch with working class

Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

epublicans have been riding a wave of increasingly favorable public opinion for the past two years, but their anti-working class agenda will lose them votes at the ballot box this November. In an interview on MSNBC’s “The Last Word,” host Lawrence O’Donnell asked Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele to specify the amount of the federal minimum wage. After attempting to change the subject and accusing O’Donnell of “trap playing,” Steele, unable to answer the question, declared that the minimum wage was irrelevant, a slap in the face to the country’s estimated 980,000 minimum-wage workers. Steele’s days as chairman of the RNC are numbered. He will have plenty of time to learn about the relevance of the federal minimum wage while waiting for his weekly unemployment compensation to kick in. But Steele is not alone in his indifference to the plight of America’s minimum wage worker. Several Republican Senatatorial candidates seemingly agree with the chairman’s statements. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Linda McMahon

of Connecticut and Washington’s Dino Rossi have all entertained the idea of adjustments to the federal minimum wage. John Raese of West Virginia believes it should be abolished altogether. “I profess that (the) minimum wage be eliminated and we operate on the laws of supply and demand just like we did before the depression,” the wealthy businessman said at a candidate forum last month. Alaskan Tea Party candidate Joe Miller has even suggested that the federal minimum wage is unconstitutional. If he had paid attention in high school civics, he would be aware of the fact that its constitutionality was affirmed in 1941, nearly 70 years ago. In recent months, Republicans have provided an ailing Democratic Party with plenty of political ammo. Democrats have used Steele’s recent statements to hammer the theme that Republicans will repeal the minimum wage. This strategy will undoubtedly prove advantageous this November, given that the Republican Party’s base is overwhelmingly blue-collar. Former Republican Speaker of the House

Newt Gingrich added insult to injury last week, urging Republican candidates to portray Democrats as the party of food stamps, a program which currently serves 37.9 million Americans. Such rhetoric alienates the independent voter as well as the nearly 50 million unemployed people struggling to make ends meet in the current economic recession. According to a survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute, nearly two-thirds of Americans favor increasing the minimum wage to at least $10 an hour. 51 percent of the survey’s respondents identified themselves as Republican. The party’s unequivocal opposition to the federal minimum wage, like its intent to extend the Bush tax cuts, only lends credence to the argument that Republicans are far too accommodating to the wealthy. The federal minimum wage was established in 1938, at the height of the Great Depression, in order to ensure a “minimum standard of living necessary for health, efficiency and general wellbeing.” Reducing or eliminating the minimum wage in a recessionary economy is not only economically unsound but immoral. The Republican Party, far too concerned with serving the interests of corporate bankers and multi-millionaires, has once again proven that it is abysmally out of touch with America’s working class. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

Listen to St. Paul, not Rev. Phelps Johnny McKay Arizona Daily Wildcat

n the middle of Coming Out Week, and following a despicable slew of recent news stories detailing atrocities committed against homosexuals, it seems only right to shine a literary spotlight on the issue of homosexual hatred and the erroneous religious reasoning it cowers behind. Even as gay rights are further emerging and making substantial headway daily, the opposing bigotry and hatred seem to be keeping up with the progress, fueled on by a literal religious fervor of intolerance. This week alone was oversaturated with tales of blind hatred toward the gay community, much of it ending with tragic results. Suicides brought about by antigay bullying, state officials terrorizing gay student government members and brutal gang violence against a gay couple were just a few of the appalling headlines. All of these attacks were perpetuated in some way by a religious intent, hilariously “justified” by a belief that it was part of a God-endorsed agenda. However, just a little bit of examination into the Bible reveals that all of this hatred is operating under an erroneous understanding of the Good Book. In no way do I hate or oppose religion. Such uneducated and blind loathing would be hypocritical to the highest degree — on par with the most fundamental and ridiculous religi-nuts. Most hatred comes from a limited and

overly subjective viewpoint of your enemy, and narrow-minded research will get you nowhere. I actually believe religion, in its intended and conceptual state, is a brilliant institution. When its fundamental values (the actual fundamental values) are followed, it is a beautiful and productive force, genius in its execution. Even if there is no heaven or God, the incentive of both has the power to catalyze people into doing great good in the world. However, somewhere along the way this beneficial tribe was poisoned and twisted, and a sect of hate and evil emerged. Select scriptural passages were extracted, blown out of proportion and reason, and used to create bizzaroagendas out of the word of God. All of the haters, bigots and intolerant preachers of God claim to know for a solid fact that if you are gay, you aren’t getting into heaven. St. Paul would be appalled at that presumption. As he writes in 1 Corinthians 13:9: “For we know in part and we prophesy in part,” denoting that no man on earth knows all about the Almighty. From Pope Benedict XVI to the hate-mongering Reverend Phelps, no one has a full comprehension of the Alpha and Omega. And yet, such unwarranted confidence in their own theological prowess leads people to enact violence and injustice against the homosexual community. Even if they

were completely right in their study of teachings, St. Paul refutes them still: “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” — 1 Corinthians 1:1-2. Religion without compassion is nothing. And so they multiply by zero compassion, and end up back at zero: clanging cymbals with nothing to say. Religion is a doubleedged sword, and St. Paul’s teachings on compassion and knowledge are the hilt at which it is wielded — either for good or for evil. I am fine if, due to upbringing, genetics or some unexplainable cosmic force, you are uncomfortable with homosexuality. At a certain point, there are subconscious prejudices that take a lot to overcome. However, if you try to rationalize it with misquoted fodder from the Bible, then you are ignorant, and at best a poserChristian. Like a hipster who doesn’t know Okkervil River, or a doctor who can’t take a pulse, you are a shoddy representation of Christianity. Your hatred is baseless, absurd and frankly in direct opposition to the so-called love of mankind, all of whom were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27) according to the Bible. Yes, that includes gays, bisexuals, transgenders and questioning individuals. You would do best to do a little more homework on the book that governs your life — you might learn something. In the meantime, happy Coming Out Week. May it be wonderful and gay. — Johnny McKay is a media arts senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Scalper supplies spurious $20

Vendors at the UA football game requested assistance from University of Arizona Police Department officers after someone tried paying with a counterfeit $20 bill on Saturday. The suspect stated that she had received the bill as change the scalper she bought her ticket from. She did not think she would be able to identify the scalper since she had gone to a number of them trying to find the best deal. The bill was turned over to UAPD.

When the police tell you to leave, just do it

A UAPD officer was working at the UA football game in Section 17 of the stadium on Saturday when he saw a man flipping off fans of the visiting team and cursing at them. The officer noticed the man’s disruptive behavior was causing a disturbance amongst the crowd; the officer ejected him from the stadium for disorderly conduct. Several minutes later, the same man came back into the football stadium and tried sitting in Section 17 again. The officer placed him under arrest for trespassing. The man replied that he had bought a second ticket to the game and was allowed to re-enter. The officer informed him that he was not permitted to re-enter after being told to leave by police. The man also did not have a new ticket in his possession. He was cited and released for trespassing.

Distracted fans get in fender bender

A car accident occurred in the third level of the Sixth Street Parking Garage on Saturday, after the UA football game had ended and people were trying to leave. The accident involved a car and a truck. The man driving the car stated he was stopped in line with other cars trying to exit the garage when he was hit from the rear by a large truck. The front passenger was holding a minor, who had been sitting in the back seat, and complained of neck pain. The UAPD officer who responded then requested for Tucson Fire Department paramedics to evaluate. The UAPD officer then spoke to the truck driver. When he asked if any passengers had been injured, they all stated “no.” The officer then asked the truck driver what had happened. The driver stated that while driving down the ramp of the parking garage, he was talking to his friends in the truck and they had been fooling around. The driver said he was not paying attention to the vehicle in front of him and hit it from behind. The truck driver wanted to handle the accident with the other driver, but the other driver wanted to handle everything through insurance companies. The investigation revealed that the driver of the truck was at fault. No citations were issued due to the fact that the accident occurred on private property.

Reunited … and it feels so good

A white Ford F350 truck reported stolen to the Tucson Police Department was located in a UA lot on Saturday. A UAPD officer was going a check of the lot at 8:42 a.m. when he saw a white truck with Arizona an license plate parked in a handicapped parking spot. The officer had noticed the truck parked there the previous day during normal business hours amongst other cars. The officer conducted a check on the license plates of the car and was informed the truck was stolen. UAPD communications confirmed that the Ford was stolen. The driver’s door lock had been punched out, a plastic covering underneath the steering column was partially pried open and the ignition was damaged. The truck was released to the owner and an officer advised her to contact Tucson Police Department if she notices anything is missing or finds any property in it that is not hers. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Sophomore point guard Momo Jones answers questions from a herd of members of the press at media day on Tuesday at McKale Center. Jones is expected to take over the starting point guard position after backing up Nic Wise last season.

Parrom wants to shed ‘No Easy Buckets’ reputation Second year head coach hopes team can build on experience

By Bryan Roy Arizona Daily Wildcat

By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat Year two of the Sean Miller era doesn’t represent the starting point of his tenure. After all, there was no mulligan for his first season in Tucson. But it’s the first consistent year, which gives Miller and his players reason to believe there’s nowhere to go but up after the Wildcats went 16-15 last year. “The experience from a year ago and the continuity that I think develops when you have the same things happening … you could really feel that,” Miller said. “That leads me into saying we’re at a much better place than a year ago.” Sometimes, that continuity comes in the little things — efficiently switching between drills during practice was often difficult last season, when no player had yet to go through a Miller-coached practice. “The practices last year were so long … just because coach had to talk so much,” said sophomore Kyryl Natyazhko. “This year you can tell players know what they’re doing now. “Coach just calls a drill out, names the drill and we know what it is. Last year, we didn’t know what we were doing, who was doing right, who was doing wrong.” Still, Miller wasn’t dodging questions of his expectations during yesterday’s team media day, even with some premature pre-season Pacific 10 Conference rankings having Arizona finishing as high as second in the league. “I hope we’re finishing second,” Miller said. “That’s the expectations here. “I’m certainly not attempting to trick anybody,” he added. “The starting point of (being successful) isn’t right around the corner. It was two Aprils ago.” With an endless number of question marks surrounding his team, Miller said that he does have reason to believe his team will improve, his word of choice for what he’d like to see this year. “We want to be better,” he said. “We expect to be better. Be better by leaps and bounds? I don’t know if that’s going to be the case.”

Mayes plays

slot hasn’t been much to talk about. But Miller expects freshman Jordin Mayes, who is out of basketball powerhouse Westchester High School in Los Angeles, to give Jones a breather. Mayes, whose father, Darryel Mayes, played at University of Nevada, Las Vegas under head coach Jerry Tarkanian, is considered a good change-up guard from Jones. His specialty is his accurate jump shot, which Miller said is already one of the best shots on the team, but that won’t hamper him from running the point. “My junior year (in high school), I had to go to the wing because we had a little point guard,” HOOPS, page A7

It might be just one mile, but that mile represents a long journey for Sean Miller. It’s a journey technically on its second goaround, but from the earlier results, consider this Miller’s first full season with the ability to harness full potential. Take for instance the one-mile run Miller used as a conditioning test — subsequently doubling a benchmark based on last season. Last season, on the first Friday of the school year, just as he did during his Xavier days, Miller timed his players’ one-mile times around a track based on pass-or-fail time limits ranging from 5:55 for the big men to 5:30 for the guards. Last season, only four of his 12 players passed. “It’s a tradition I really believe in,” Miller said. “If they make the mile run, their conditioning starts mid-September” and if not, conditioning begins immediately. This season, 12 of 13 passed — the only exception being sophomore forward Kevin Parrom, though it doesn’t mean he’s in poor shape. “He has a phobia of running on the track,” Miller said. “I think he could’ve, he’s just one of those guys that (when he) sees the track, he can’t run.” On Monday the team ran a test in which it would run six sets of 10 laps up and down the court with a two-minute break in-between. Everyone passed except for one freshman, according to UA junior guard Brendon Lavender. “Everyone’s in shape, getting stronger, bigger and more powerful,” Lavender said. “Everyday, we’re either running or lifting weights.”

Natyazhko slowed by back ‘condition’

Cautious to call it an injury,

Miller said the only player affected by preseason setbacks is sophomore center Kyryl Natyazhko. However, Miller expects Natyazhko to be fine by the first day of practice this Friday. “He’s been slowed a little bit recently by his back, a condition that we’re watching,” Miller said.

Check out my new haircut

Lavender was one of the few players Miller did not mention in his 40-minute press conference — maybe because he didn’t recognize him. Lavender parted ways with his braids during the off-season and now sports a short near-buzz cut hairstyle. He’s worn the braids since eighth grade. “New year, new look, new me,” Lavender said. “I just felt like a new change was the right time for right now. “I don’t know, it was a feeling,” he added. “Maybe maturity. I feel like the braids were basically a childish thing. New look, new me, you know?”

Parrom wants new image, too

What evolved into a battle cry at times, last season’s fan-popular slogan “No Easy Buckets” has finally come to a close — according to its creator. Parrom — who notably took down ASU’s Ty Abbot with a hard foul on a breakaway last season — said he doesn’t want that “boxer” reputation that cultivated after his post-game tweet: “ASWho ?!?!? I’m From Tha Bronx New York .. No Easy Buckets !!!” Said Parrom yesterday: “I mean I still want to be the tough player, but I think it was just going into a negative aspect, coming into the game as a boxer. I still want to be a defensive-minded player.” So he won’t be giving up easy buckets this year? “I mean I still won’t give up easy buckets, but it won’t be that dramatic hopefully.”

Criner’s hoop dreams providing football foundation Star wide receiver’s love of the hard court helping out on the gridiron

By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona receiver Juron Criner currently spends his Saturdays making improbable catches, torching cornerbacks and leading the Pacific 10 Conference in nearly every receiving category. But football wasn’t Criner’s first love. “It was basketball,” Criner said. “I was a straight-basketball guy.” Rather than spend all of his time practicing his routes, Criner was on the hardwood

working on his jump shot, isolations and dunk attempts. The 6-foot-4 junior spent four years sporting No. 21 for Canyon Springs High School in Las Vegas, and had dreams of playing college hoops. Criner was a standout for the Las Vegas Rebels club team in the nation’s hotspot for Amateur Athletic Union basketball tournaments. He started at forward for the Rebels and played in the now extinct Cactus Classic at McKale Center. But the offers to take his basketball talents to

the collegiate level weren’t there, and the option to play receiver at a big-time school was. “I wasn’t getting as much recognition for basketball as I was for football, so I had to go with the better choice,” Criner said. “I talked to my family and a lot of people, and we all felt like football would be the best choice and obviously it was the best decision.” Playing receiver rather than small forward was clearly the right decision for Criner, who’s emerging as one of the top wideouts in college football and one of Arizona’s best ever. “He’s the most complete player — we’ve

had some other guys that obviously play as hard and fight like he does, but he’s your prototypical receiver that can go out there and dominate a game,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “I don’t know if we’ve had many guys that can dominate a game like he can.” Although he now dons a helmet, cleats and shoulder pads rather than a headband and sneakers, glimpses of his basketball talent are on display every Saturday when he CRINER, page A7

Receivers coach: ‘He’s got such good ball skills’

skies to snare a Nick Foles bomb. Remember the 51-yard catch against California that set up Criner’s game-winning touchdown? Remember the countless fade routes-turned-touchdowns over the last few seasons? Criner credits basketball, where grabbing rebounds or snatching alley-oops aren’t far off from elevating to haul in a Foles jump ball. “I think it has a lot to do with my receiver skills, being able to track the ball when it’s high in the air, the precision, timing of the jump,” Criner said. “I feel like my basketball background has a lot to do with the receiver I am today.” Arizona outside receivers coach Dave Nichol said multi-sport athletes have a leg up on other recruits, especially basketball players who have great potential at receiver. San Diego Chargers tight end Antonio Gates is the most famous example, as he played power forward at Kent State University and has developed into one of the NFL’s top tight ends without a down of college football. Nichol cited San Francisco 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree as another example of the basketball to football transition. “Michael Crabtree was basically, most people thought, a better basketball player out of high school,” said Nichol, who also played wide receiver for the Red Raiders. “He played quarterback in high school and caught one ball his entire career. So you know you always have to kind of project what they might do. That’s not easy, but it’s definitely worked out for Juron (Criner).” Criner caught more than one ball for Canyon Springs High

School and was a three-star recruit with offers to Oregon, Nebraska and ASU among other schools. But there’s no question he wouldn’t be nearly the receiver he is today without the years of catching alley-oops and jumping to grab a rebound at its highest peak. “He’s just got such good ball skills, and his timing on catching the ball is really good. I would imagine that comes from basketball,” Nichol said. “He’s just got a knack for figuring out when to get the ball.” When Criner leaves Arizona as one of its best receivers in program history and turns that into millions in the NFL, he’s never going wish he played basketball instead. But despite that success and the future millions, Criner will always wonder what would have happened if he stuck with his first love. “I try to stay away from it as much as I can, but I think about going to play all the time,” Criner said. “There are nights when I wonder what my life would be like if I would have chose basketball, and where I would have went and just different things like that.”

Miller excited about future of conference

HOOPS continued from page A6

Mayes said, who moved to point guard during his senior year. “I’ve always been a point guard.” Miller also said that Mayes has a basketball player’s body, including a 6-foot9 wingspan on his 6-foot-2 frame, which will come in handy on the defensive end. Playing with Jones has already been an experience for Mayes’ adjustment to college basketball. “Just learning how to be vocal, learning how to compete at the highest level. Just going out there and playing hard.”

Future of the Pac

A fan of the Pac-10’s traditional roundrobin basketball scheduling, Miller said

he was excited about the direction of the soon-to-be Pac-12 and about commissioner Larry Scott. “I don’t think there has been a better time to be in our conference than now,” Miller said. “Being in meetings (with Scott), they’re about the right things in progressing our conference. “It’s really nice to be a part of something where the leadership is like it is.” The addition of the television markets in Denver, Colo., and Salt Lake City, Utah, were other positives mentioned. Miller added that he is good friends with Utah head coach Jim Boylen and Colorado head coach Tad Boyle.

Running back Nic Grigsby has made several big plays this season but his inconsistency on the ground is becoming a concern. Arizona coaches are hoping that Grigsby and fellow running backs Keola Antolin and Greg Nwoko will have a breakout game against Washington State this weekend.

Ground game still finding its stride

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT As the season nears the midway point, something that has been noticeably limited from Arizona’s playbook has been the number of rushes. “I understand where people would think that we’re not running the ball, well, because what we’re averaging, and what we’re doing in the game so far,” said co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach Seth Littrell. “We have to continually get better at the run game.” But this weekend against Washington State might be the perfect time to fix that for the Wildcats. The Cougars have given up an average 254 yards per game on the ground so far this season, a mark that Arizona has not yet eclipsed. Last season, the Wildcats ran the ball 54 times against WSU, the most against any team on the 2009 schedule. But this season, the Wildcats are averaging 27 carries per game and had only 14 against Oregon State last weekend. Senior running back Nic Grigsby said that a large part of the rushing game’s stumbling has been due to the offense’s lack of discipline. “We always get in situations; like every time this year we’ll have a great play and then next play it will be penalty so it backs us out of running room and we have to throw the ball,” Grigsby said. “We’ve been put in bad situations, so this game we’re going to come out and try to establish the run quick and get going.” Littrell agreed that the number of penalties the Wildcats have been subjected to influenced the sluggish appearance of the running game. “That’s everybody. We’re still not all the way there,” he said. “We still have not done a complete game of playing with all 11 (members of the offense).” While Nick Foles and the passing

offense enjoy the top spot in the conference in passing offense — and the fifth spot overall in the NCAA — Nic Grigsby and the rest of the running back corps sit eighth, only above last week’s opponent, Oregon State, and this week’s opponent in Washington State. “A lot of people are a little bit more worried about that than I am,” Littrell said. “Again, you go out there and take what the defense is giving you.” Littrell cited Arizona’s game against Oregon State as a game in which the running backs had a big influence, but not necessarily by carrying the ball. “We do need to get some different aspects of the run game better. There’s no doubt about it,” Littrell said. “But at the same time, I look at a lot of our plays that a lot of people don’t see as run plays.” Foles threw to the running backs six times for 81 yards. From there, both Grigsby and Keola Antolin took the short pass and turned the tosses into touchdowns. “I think our running back position, tight end position and really our running back position had over 28-30 plays,” Littrell said. “They got their hands on the football, and we only had 65 plays. It’s distributing the ball the best way.” Also in the Wildcats’ favor is the fact that H-back Taimi Tutogi is getting healthy, giving the running back trio more lanes and a better chance at turning short runs into big plays. Tutogi’s return would lead to bigger play sets, Littrell said. In addition, receivers like Juron Criner are available to make big plays down the field and force defenses to make adjustments. And hopefully, Littrell said, it would open up lanes for Grigsby, Antolin and Greg Nwoko of which they can take advantage. “If they give us the run, trust me we’ll take it,” Littrell said. “We’re not going to go out there and put ourselves in bad situations just because we want to run the ball.”

A10 • wednesday, october 13, 2010 • arizona daily wildcat ATHLETE of the WEEK

Tiffany Owens

Arizona’s senior had 32 kills against Oregon State

By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Tiffany Owens, a senior outside hitter on the Arizona volleyball team, was named the Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week for her performance over the weekend against Oregon State and Oregon. Against OSU, she recorded a career-high 32 kills on a .426 hitting percentage, and is UA’s leading scorer of the year with 295.5 points. Daily Wildcat: How big of an honor is it to be named Pac-10 Player of the Week? Tiffany Owens: Honestly, I’m happy for the award that I got, but I couldn’t have done it without my teammates. They all put in the same amount of work that I did in the game, so I couldn’t have done it without my teammates. They were right there to help me gain that award. Was it nice to have the offense run through you against OSU? I wouldn’t say nice,

because it was hard, but it was an honor that they actually needed me to get through it. But it was tough. What’s been the biggest surprise for you so far this year? Biggest surprise for me this year? I don’t know actually, that’s a good question. I don’t know if I have a biggest surprise this year.

SPORTS

I guess I’d just have to say … no, I don’t know (laughs). I’m not big on surprises. I was going to say something like winning two games on the road, but we should be doing that anyway. What’s your favorite on-court memory so far in your Arizona career? (Laughs) Winning two games in a row on the road, because we haven’t done that since I’ve been here. How do you want to be remembered by your coaching staff, teammates and fans? I want them to remember me as a hard worker; when the game is on the line, they look at me to step up. I just want them to know that I’m a hard worker and a good player. What’s your favorite off-the-court memory from the last few years? It was actually this year, before the season started. We went to Prescott for a team retreat, and the seniors have to come up with a skit, so we came up with a scary movie type thing. So that’s the best thing that’s happened off the court. What are you majoring in? Family studies. What are you planning on doing with that after school? I’m trying to become a nurse, preferably a neo-natal nurse because I adore babies. If you’re not playing volleyball or in class, what are you doing? I’m either watching TV or sleeping (laughs). What’s your favorite TV show? My favorite TV show … I actually have two (laughs). I’m going to name “The Steve Harvey Show” and “The Jamie Foxx Show.” Who is your favorite music artist? That’s a tough one. Favorite music artist … I’d say my favorite artist would have to be Ne-Yo. Is there anybody you listen to that you might be a little embarrassed to admit? Yes, actually. I listen to (laughs) there’s this video game … Super Mario 64, and there’s this theme song in one of the levels. It’s the water level, and it plays this nice relaxing, smooth-type song. So I listen to that and I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that (laughs).

Rangers make history, advance to first ALCS

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Cliff Lee was acquired to take the Texas Rangers to places they had never been in their 39 seasons in Arlington and a forgettable 11 as the Washington Senators. The ride will continue Friday night. The left-hander put the Rangers on his shoulders Tuesday, and they will head to the American League Championship Series for the first time in franchise history. Lee tossed a completegame six-hitter, allowing only one run in a crucial spot in the third inning, and Ian Kinsler delivered a crushing two-run homer in the ninth inning as the Rangers bounced Tampa Bay 5-1 in Game 5 of the AL Division Series. The Rangers, who created three runs with heady base running, will play the New York Yankees in the bestof-7 ALCS, the last stop before the World Series. The series will open Friday at Rangers Ballpark with C.J. Wilson facing fellow lefty C.C. Sabathia. No player in the champagne-soaked clubhouse seemed to want to talk Yankees after clinching the first playoff series in franchise history. Instead, the Rangers heaped praise upon Lee, who struck out 11 Rays. “He was awesome,” manager Ron Washington said. “I don’t think you can ask any more of a guy than to go out there and do what he did. We got him some runs, and he made them stand up.” The Rangers became the first team in major-league

history to win all three road games to win a best-of-5 series. They won Games 1 and 2 at Tropicana Field, and many of the 41,845 fans Tuesday raced to the exits as soon as Kinsler hit his third homer of the series off ace closer Rafael Soriano. “We knew it was over right there,” right fielder Jeff Francoeur said. “At 3-1, they can get a runner on and have some guys with pop. When he hit that home run, it took all the wind out of them. We knew we were moving on.” Francoeur also pointed to the third inning as a major turning point. The Rangers struck first, in the first, after Elvis Andrus started the game with a single and stole second base. He was on the move again as Josh Hamilton sent a slow chopper to first base. Carlos Pena had to flip to David Price for the out, and Andrus hesitated only briefly before taking off for home and scoring easily for the 1-0 lead. Tampa Bay knotted the score in the third, though they missed a chance to score a few more after Ben Zobrist singled home Sean Rodriguez. The Rays had runners at second and third with one out, but Jason Bartlett was out in a rundown between third and home after Carl Crawford grounded a ball back to Lee, and Evan Longoria grounded out to end the threat. The Rays managed only two more hits the rest of the way and struck out nine times. — McClatchy Newspapers
