One hundred days after the UA community welcomed President Ann Weaver Hart to campus, Hart says she plans to continue forging the future of the university and building the UA as a model for other land grant research universities around the country and around the world.

The first 100 days Since she took office on July 9, Hart’s agenda has included introductory meetings with legislative leaders and the governor’s staff, activities associated with the UA land grant mission, executive searches for positions within the university, and planning across the board.

Hart has traveled to Phoenix and met with legislative leaders and the governor’s staff to establish stronger relationships in preparation for the legislative session and also made a trip

to Yuma, where she met with students, alumni, cooperative extension faculty, community and industry and political leaders.

“It was important for her [Hart] to set a timeline of milestones that she wanted to reach in her first month here,” said Leslie Tolbert, senior vice president for research.

“What we all came to realize is that she does that. She sets a timetable and off we go, all of us, running to move the university forward.”

As far as her accomplishments thus far, Hart commented on relationships established with key leaders in federal, state and local government and within the university. She also mentioned her focus on building a university presence in Phoenix and relationships with business and government leaders in the state’s capital.

“I feel good about the progress of important, early initiatives and have received very positive feedback from many University of Arizona friends, faculty, staff and students,” Hart said in an email interview.

“It’s just a very important exercise for us to be undertaking,” Tolbert added. “Knowing that she’s going to act on the recommendations that various groups are making makes it not just timely, but likely to have a real impact.”

Students turn out for debate, free milkshakes RACHEL McCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

A steady flow of patrons coming in and out of Cellar Bistro on Tuesday night kept plenty of eyes on the presidential debate playing on a large screen in the restaurant.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona and the Arizona Students’ Association collaborated once again to give students the opportunity to watch the debate live, complete with free milkshakes and giveaways. ASUA and ASA held the event to increase voter education on the candidates’ positions.

Some students heard about the debate viewing through ASUA’s website, their friends and from an email they received, but some didn’t even know it was happening until they showed up to eat. Philosophy, politics, economics and law junior

December.

Board Chairman Rick Myers commented on Hart’s frequent communication and her emphasis on creating a strong dialogue with the regents. Her experience also puts her ahead in her position, Myers added.

“I think she, in particular, comes into the job with a greater experience having already been a president at two other universities,” Myers said. “I think that’s certainly something that contributes to her ability to move so quickly into the work and into the issues and start to make progress.”

When speaking about the president’s strategic plan, Myers stressed the fact that Hart is trying to bring in different constituent groups and have them share their insights, ideas and ways to create new, innovative approaches to how the UA can continue to develop.

“I think it’s a very inclusive process with Dr. Hart,” Myers said. “It’s a process where she’s reaching out to all the constituents and making sure that they’re bringing their ideas and their thoughts to the process.”

Campus outreach After facing criticism over accessibility during her last year working at Temple University, Hart said it is very important for her to work closely with student body officers to head off any issues regarding her availability.

Hart has met with the Associated Students of the University of Arizona President, Katy Murray, and the Graduate and Professional Student Council President Zachary Brooks. Both commented on her support for students and her work toward maintaining communication.

“I absolutely love Dr. Hart,” Murray said. “She is such a pleasure to work with and you could tell through our meetings that she has such a passion for working with students and serving students.”

In addition to meeting with student leaders, Hart has met with key faculty leadership groups, keeps communication with Faculty Senate leaders, meets with staff groups and attends events that involve alumni, community advisory groups and others.

“All of the groups like the student association and GPSC, [Appointed Professionals Advisory Council] and the staff advisory councils … all of those people have contact with her,” said Wanda Howell, the faculty chair for the UA’s Faculty Senate. “It’s really her desire to

Aaliya Islam said she found the extra addition to her dinner to be beneficial.

“I feel like [in] watching the debate I become more aware of the issues because, obviously, school is there, life is there and you lose track of what’s going on in the real world,” Islam said. “Watching the debate while you wait for food or eat food, it’s forcing you to pay attention to what’s going on out there.”

Other students who knew about the event came because it was an opportunity for them to watch the debate. Philosophy, politics, economics and law freshman Sarah Staron said she doesn’t have a TV, so this was one of the few ways she could watch it.

Throughout the event, students got excited at former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama’s bantering, which

was responded to with cheers from the audience in the favor of both candidates.

Students who came and found the event to be educational claimed they would bring some friends to the next debate viewing ASUA will host.

“I do think it’s a good way for people to get involved and to get together and watch the debate,” explained Gannon Thute, a prebusiness freshman. “Based on

coming here, I would be interested in coming back with maybe a couple of friends.”

Compared to the Rad, White and Blue block party that ASUA held, the audience seemed smaller, but the cyclical system of people coming and going to eat dinner made up for the smaller turnout. Many students came with the intention of just eating dinner, but some stayed afterward to finish watching.

Comrie leads Health Sciences YARA ASKAR Arizona Daily Wildcat

Following J. Lyle Bootman’s resignation as vice president of Health Sciences on Sept. 12, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost Andrew Comrie has assumed the position temporarily while administration searches for a replacement. The Daily Wildcat caught up with Comrie to see what it was like managing the two leadership positions.

You have been overseeing these five colleges since September?

Yes, if you say since September, that would be accurate.

How did you end up being assigned as the interim vice president for Health Sciences?

J. Lyle Bootman was the interim senior vice president for Health Sciences and decided to step down for his position as a dean of the College of Pharmacy. There are five health science deans, the two medicine colleges, College of Nursing, College of Public Health and College of Pharmacy. While we have no one in the slot because we are in the middle of searching — the president appointed me to have those five deans report to me as well as the office of the Arizona Health Sciences Center. They are just reporting to me for this interim period until we identify the next vice president for Health Sciences. The president decided and that’s the short version.

In the past, health science deans reported to the provost, so it was a natural thing because you want these colleges to do their job and they have an academic mission, so having them report to the academic affairs office makes complete sense. The reason we have a health science vice president is that they have a number of common special focus-areas in Health Sciences that require a fair amount of extra coordination above and beyond what some of the other colleges need on the main campus, which is why we have a Health Science [vice president] — because it’s wrapped up in clinical care and so on and so forth. That’s why we have that extra layer in there.

Have you noticed any difficulties when the deans from the Health Sciences colleges are reporting to you? kevin brost/arizona Daily Wildcat I have five more colleges reporting to me, so there is definitely another PROVOST ANDREW COMRIE has assumed the role of interim vice president of Health Sciences. layer of management and engagement there. I am learning as fast and as much as they are. A lot of what they do is, of course, in-sync with other experience overseeing many different types of programs. In my previous things we do on campus, so it’s not all completely new. But the role of the job, I was involved in a lot of health science program too, so while that’s clinical side is, of course, the most distinctive, new piece. Where the College not my own personal background at training, in terms of the way we run of Medicine in Phoenix is growing very rapidly so there is always a lot to Academic Affairs across campus we rely on the deans to have the area of look at. There are many initiatives that other health science colleges are expertise and we coordinate measurement with the deans through our involved in that I have to get engaged with.

They are a very integrated group and they are Is there anything you would like to add? integrated with the rest of the campus already so this was not a big change, It’s exciting for me in that I get to include a broader range of things in and most of what they do on day-to-day base is completely unchanged. the way my office helps run the university. I’m excited about working with them. I’m definitely learning a lot on the other hand and excited to see all Do you feel that you are equipped with the right experience to advise the really interesting things they are doing in the health sciences. deans in the Health Sciences?

make things as transparent and accountable as possible.”

However, due to some students remaining unaware of Hart and what her goals for the university are, student leaders are working with the president to promote more outreach.

Murray mentioned the possibility of hosting a breakfast twice a semester with Hart and students around campus. In addition, Hart mentioned a student and community meeting scheduled during her inauguration at the end of November.

In terms of accessibility, some members within Hart’s cabinet commented on their belief that Hart trusts those in position of authority to continue with their responsibilities as she works toward establishing relationships outside the

university.

“I see a president who decided to trust that the university was moving in good directions and that if there were fires, if people told her about emergencies, she would deal with them,” Tolbert said.

Next steps Hart also commented on the progress on the establishment of the UA Cancer Center in partnership with St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix, as well as the work of executive director of Tech Launch Arizona, David Allen, on “establishing critical partnerships and on modernizing policies that

Hart added that the work of students is defining the university’s future.

“I am so proud of this wonderful university and I hope that the students know what a great institution they are helping to shape in their studies, community engagement and activities,” Hart said.

A few months in, some said that Hart’s work up until this point is just the tip of the iceberg.

“I would say that the state of Arizona and the University of Arizona in particular are very lucky that Dr. Hart chose to come here,” Myers said. “I think we’re just beginning to see the fruits of her hard efforts.”

Panel will discuss scientific side of election SARAH-JAYNE SIMON Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Ambassadors of the Undergraduate Biology Research Program will present “The Politics of Science, Health and Education: What You Should Know Before the Election” in the Keating building on Thursday at 5 p.m.

The event will feature experts from the health, science, education and government fields, explaining which issues are most important during the election in these areas.

In addition to the panel discussion, panelists will also hold a question-and-answer session for the audience.

“The basic premise of the event is to get people excited about voting and become informed voters,” said Shaina Hasan, the public relations officer for the Undergraduate Biology Research Program.

The program provides students at the UA the opportunity to explore biological science through first-hand research experience, which experts say can sometimes be a source for political differences.

“There is a lot at stake during this election,” said Carol Bender, a university distinguished outreach professor. “We need to make sure people are informed because we have two very different visions of the country.”

UBRP helps undergraduate students in life sciences, providing them with funding for lab work and networking and laboratory experience, Bender said. With these areas in need of government funding, it’s important to know the political issues at hand, she added.

“I feel that voting is not just specific to people who are interested in government solely,” Hasan said. “I think it is important to

Privatization leap for NASA, step back for social welfare

Tucson needs its candidates to re-evaluate their priorities Savannah Martin

Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

S

ocial Security and Medicare, despite their success, have faced the threat of privatization since their conception. Look no further than the transcripts of the last two presidential debates if you need proof that the future of these two time-tested programs has yet to be determined.

From the point of view of many “bleeding-heart” liberals, the privatization of social services is a disastrous idea fraught with ethical and moral dilemmas.

Those who have targeted programs like Social Security and Medicare are usually bent on shrinking the size of government, and anyone who stands in the way of this is labeled a tax-and-spend socialist, or some clever variation of the term.

But believe it or not, there is one publicly financed government program that just about everyone agrees should be privatized. In fact, those leading the push for its entry into the private sector are the same ones who have fought the hardest to stave off Medicare vouchers and private Social Security savings accounts.

NASA, which marked the end of its iconic space shuttle program by flying the shuttle Endeavour over the UA Mall, has made an agreement with four privately operated space flight firms — Sierra Nevada, SpaceX, Blue Origin and Boeing — as part of the second phase of its ambitious Commercial Crew and Cargo program.

Contrary to popular belief, NASA will not abandon human space flight entirely. This collaboration between the agency and the private sector is meant to stimulate technological advancement in space flight and space tourism in low Earth orbit.

The effort will not only save NASA millions of dollars in the long run, but will also allow the agency to focus its attention on exploring the airfield in our solar system.

NASA’s space shuttle program is a perfect example of a government program ripe for privatization.

Although responsible for launching America into the space age, NASA’s space shuttle program has become increasingly costly and inefficient. The failure of the Constellation program — NASA’s next mission to the moon was canceled due to being over budget and behind schedule — is a testament to both the program’s ballooning costs and innovative bankruptcy.

The government, through investment in research and engineering, was able to get space flight off its feet. Now it’s time for the program to be handed over to the private sector where its exorbitant cost can be managed more effectively and competition and profit motive can foster necessary innovation.

But while space travel is almost guaranteed to flourish under market pressures, social welfare programs would not.

The assertion that Medicare and Social Security should be privatized like a space shuttle program is rooted in the frighteningly flawed notion that the health and well-being of society is a tangible good that can be bartered and sold. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson, the architects of America’s social safety net, would surely roll in their graves if such a falsehood became conventional wisdom.

An elderly couple’s monthly income should not be susceptible to the ebb and flow of market forces and a disabled mother’s breast cancer treatment should not come with an outrageous price tag.

Social Security and Medicare were, in part, created to prevent private sector from capitalizing off the misfortune of the masses. It is this social insurance that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan wish to end with their Medicare voucher scheme.

Privatization, in some cases, is an option that some industries would do well to consider. Space flight is clearly a case in point. Social welfare programs, on the other hand, should remain publicly financed and readily accessible to all.

T

ucson’s congressional candidates love to build up their plans for regional issues, such as the economy, immigration and veteran affairs.

But when it comes to Tucson’s disturbing 20.4 percent poverty rate, mum’s the word.

The Arizona Daily Star asked Southern Arizona’s congressional candidates to answer the question, “What Southern Arizonaspecific issues will you champion in Congress?” this weekend. Each candidate responded to the question in a letter to the Daily Star.

Tucson’s candidates — those running for districts two and three — include Rep. Ron Barber (D), Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D), Blanca Guerra (Libertarian), Martha McSally (R) and Gabriela Saucedo Mercer (R).

They were quick to discuss national hot-button issues like the economy, jobs, immigration, defense and veterans. As expected, they spoke in vague and overused terms about their plans to

“rebuild a stronger economy that works for everyone, not just the richest 2 percent” and “reform our cumbersome immigration system.”

They talked about their histories of “lifelong leadership.” They tore down their rivals and told voters that they “deserve better” than what the incumbents have given them. They pledged to fight for the people of Tucson and Southern Arizona.

But not a single candidate proposed a solution to one of the area’s most glaring problems: Tucson is the sixth-poorest metropolitan region in the United States.

Tucson’s 20.4 percent poverty rate is the result of multiple factors, including a low-ranking education system and high unemployment rates, as reported earlier this month by the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Further complicating the issue, poor education and unemployment are linked to immigration and the economic

and social situation of Tucson’s Hispanic population.

Obviously, Tucson’s poverty rate is the culmination of Southern Arizona’s most dire issues. As such, finding a comprehensive solution to the problem should be our representatives’ top priority. Yet candidates have failed to do so much as mention it.

To be fair, the candidates spoke about separate facets of the poverty problem. Guerra spoke of reforming the immigration system and re-evaluating the role immigrants play in the community. Grijalva emphasized job creation in the border security sector and job preservation in the public school system.

These policies may put a small dent in the problem, but in order to significantly decrease Tucson’s poverty rate — not to mention the state’s poverty level as a whole — and bring it in line with the national rate of 15 percent, congressmen and congresswomen will have to create one comprehensive solution that tackles job creation, public education and immigration reform under the same umbrella.

Immigration reform needs to not only focus on border security and citizenship, but also help the children of immigrants stay in school and graduate. Education reform needs to include a

movement to improve vocational training within and beyond high school so that Tucson students possess marketable skills that will allow them to compete in the work force. Job creation should include putting Tucsonans to work improving our infrastructure, especially the trade corridor between Mexico and Southern Arizona.

A multi-faceted approach to decreasing the poverty rate is the only way to solve the problem — simply creating jobs doesn’t mean our young people will have the skills to fill those positions.

Improving our education system doesn’t mean the children of immigrants will have the right to participate in it.

However, if any of that is going to be taken into consideration, it is necessary that our congressional candidates demonstrate even an inkling of concern for the more than 100,000 impoverished Tucsonans they claim to represent.

If we’re going to fix the issue, we need to talk about it. One in five Tucsonans living in poverty is too many to go unmentioned.

EDITORIAL

How to be engaged, informed on campus

O

n a campus of more than 40,000 people, it’s easy to get lost. More than that, it’s easy to become detached.

But if you’re detached from your own university campus, why should it care about you? You have to invest in something to get anything back from it.

A critical part of President Ann Weaver Hart’s first 100 days in office was reaching out to student leaders and opening up the lines of communication. But none of those efforts can matter if you, the average student, aren’t paying attention.

Being an informed, engaged participant of the UA community means more than just going to class and being on campus sometimes. It sounds silly, but to be a participant, you have to participate.

Sadly, that means doing more than just occasionally reading the campus newspaper.

The Daily Wildcat may appreciate your support, and it is one of your best sources for UA news, but you’ll find information everywhere, whether it’s on social networking sites like Facebook or blogs that offer you campus news from an alternative

perspective.

Better yet, try going directly to the source.

Paying attention to the news makes you a passive participant, but you have the opportunity to take an active role too.

In a school so big, it’s hard to make your voice heard among so many to people in powerful offices like Hart’s. But you can engage in dialogue with your student leaders, whether they’re in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona or the Graduate and Professional Student Council.

It’s easy to not care about either institution or about what the Wildcat is writing about. There are a lot of things that seem to hit closer to home, whether it’s the fact that you’ve got a midterm coming up or you need to pay your rent tomorrow or you could really use some time to do your three weeks’ worth of laundry.

But members of your student government represent you, working on your behalf to answer to school administrators and the state Legislature. The concerns you’re facing now may be a lot more pressing at the moment, but they won’t matter six months or a year from now.

You should always know who the key players are on campus. Get to know who is a part of ASUA or GPSC. Know the names of campus administrators whose decisions concern your life. They may not know your name, but that’s no reason not to know theirs.

The work that your student government does with UA leadership like Hart and other members of the administration may have a lasting impact on you and future generations of students.

THE TEACHINGS OF LIGHT AND SOUND

The conventional approach to spirituality instructs us to

search for God and truth outside ourselves (exoteric), whereas the Light and Sound approach instructs us to search for God and truth within ourselves (esoteric). There is a vast difference between the two, of which greater numbers are growing increasingly aware.

‘This ain’t no show, ho.’

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a noise complaint at the volleyball courts just north of the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall at about 12:30 a.m. on Oct. 10.

When the officer arrived, he noticed a non-UA-affiliated man leaving the area. Students in the area told the officer that the man had been banging on tables and rapping earlier.

The officer approached the man just east of the residence hall and the man provided the officer with his Arizona driver’s license. The officer told the man that he could not be making loud noises on campus, and warned him of a possible disorderly conduct violation. The officer dismissed the man, who left on foot heading south toward Sixth Street.

About an hour and a half later, the same officer responded to the Park Student Union in reference to a man sleeping on a bench outside. Upon arrival, the officer noticed it was the same man from the previous incident. The man’s shoes were off, with a can of Foster’s beer sitting beside them.

The officer noticed that the man had urinated on himself and woke him up. He told the man about policies and procedures regarding sleeping and drinking on campus, and warned him about trespassing on UA property. The officer noted that the man was very cooperative, and not argumentative or insulting.

The man stood up and began walking toward the Metro Wildcat at Sixth Street and Park Avenue, but stopped near some bushes just outside of the residence hall. The officer advised the man to keep walking, and as he did so, the officer noticed the man was urinating. The man proceeded to walk about 50 feet while still urinating, and stopped walking to finish urinating by a tree at the Metro Wildcat. Five bystanders were present during the incident, all of whom told the officer they didn’t want to press charges.

The officer approached the man and arrested him for criminal littering. As soon as the officer handcuffed the man, he started calling the officer names and using profanity. The man also yelled at bystanders, at one point yelling, “This ain’t no show, ho.”

The officer searched the man, placed him in the back of the patrol car and took him to Pima County Jail. The officer also served the man an exclusionary order for disturbing the peace and sleeping and drinking on campus. The officer noted that the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall is known for being an area with a lot of theft and crime. The possibility of tailgating behind residents into the hall was taken into consideration for issuance of the exclusionary order.

Worrisome writings

A UAPD officer responded via telephone at 4:20 p.m. on Oct. 13 to a graduate student who had filed a report saying one of his students had submitted several writing assignments that the professor found concerning.

The professor told the officer that a student in an English 201 class he taught had turned in a number of assignments that depicted violence, referenced suicide and also mentioned how guns work and the damage that they can do. The professor also cited some emails he had received from the student that expressed anger toward students.

The professor had compiled the writings and emails days before and put them in a packet for the dean of students, who determined that the documents were not serious enough to take any action. The professor told the officer that he had agreed the writings did not warrant action, but he was still concerned for his own safety.

The professor told the officer he had met with the English department head and other English faculty members on Oct. 11, and informed them of the student’s unwillingness to do the class work. The group decided to administratively drop the student based solely on his classroom performance and not on the writings or emails. An administrator sent an email to the student the next day, notifying him of their decision.

The professor requested the presence of a police officer for his class on Monday, adding that he did not feel safe even though the student had never caused a scene or been a disruption in class. The officer could not promise that an officer would be present.

Busted: The finest hangout on campus

Two UAPD officers responded to the drama building in reference to suspicious activity on Oct. 12. When the officers arrived, an employee with UA Facilities Management escorted the officers to the roof of the building.

When they arrived the employee told officers he had been working on the roof earlier when he saw an extension cord plugged into a wall socket. When he followed the cord, it led to an area on the roof where officers found two couches, a number of empty alcohol containers, some office chairs, a piano cover, two extension cords, a power strip, a laptop and static electricity globe.

The employee explained to officers that approximately two months ago he saw a UA employee escorting several students off the roof. After this incident, locks had been put on all roof access points. Officers noted that it was unclear how the couches could have been moved to the roof of the building — all entry points to the area were too narrow.

Most of the items were left at the scene, as officers were unable to carry them off the roof, especially the couches. One officer took the laptop and put into safekeeping at UAPD. The piano cover was also returned to a UA employee officers had seen inside the building in a classroom with pianos. There is no further information about the incident.

him to develop a design.

Up until college, goalies don’t usually design their masks, because at the junior level they often change teams and changing helmets can be expensive, Sisler added.

Herman’s mask is silver with the Wildcat head logo on each side, a brick wall, the “A” logo on the back and the skyline of Chicago, his hometown.

“I did it real basic because I wanted it to stand out from far away,” Herman said.

Herman’s mask was finished before last season started because he was able to find an artist in Phoenix who used to do the New York Islanders’ helmets.

“A lot of guys at the college level get stuff done by guys who paint NHL helmets, usually that can get up to $1,000 for a paint job,” Herman said.

With Hogan as head coach, the Wildcats have free reign to design the helmets as they please, as

long as there are no vulgarities or inappropriate images. The previous head coach, Leo Golembiewski, who was a former goalie, also gave them freedom — except that they couldn’t have official UA logos.

Freshman Dylan Hojnacki, who walked on to the team, uses a plain black mask that he has had for a couple years.

Between the four goalies, Hogan said there is a rapport even though they are competing for the same position. In terms of whose design is the best, the general consensus is that Schultz’s reigns supreme.

“They seem pretty close. Goalies are an odd group,” said Hogan, whose brother was a goalie. “Who wants to get in the way of a 100 mile per hour slap shot?”

Jackson jumps into starting rotation ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

Johnny Jackson’s profile page on the Arizona Wildcats website is blank, aside from some general biographical information.

His nickname is Jumpin’ Johnny, in large part because of his short stature — he’s listed at 5-foot-10, and that’s being generous.

Two weeks ago, not many people outside of the Arizona locker room or media really knew who Jackson was — that is, until he went and caught 10 balls, nine in the first half, for 75 yards against Stanford in week six.

Jackson hurt his ankle against the Cardinal and his status for Saturday’s game against Washington is up in the air, but head coach Rich Rodriguez said that the redshirt freshman has earned significant playing time going forward.

“I don’t think we started with that four receiver set, but if we had he would have been the starter [against Stanford],” Rodriguez said.

“We consider him a starter now.

We probably should have played him more earlier because he had shown some things in practice. He showed a burst in practice, so I said, ‘We have to give him more of an opportunity,’ and he has made the most of it.”

Richard Morrison, who is third

on the Wildcats with 23 receptions, had been the starter in the slot, but Jackson is in position to usurp that role whenever he returns from injury.

Fullback/defensive end Taimi Tutogi doesn’t anticipate Jackson staying off the field for too long, though. Against Stanford, Jackson missed the majority of the second half due to his injury, and Tutogi said Jackson was eager to return to play. Tutogi responded by preaching patience. That didn’t work.

“He made a comment like ‘Man, I wanna play,’” Tutogi said. “I said you still got three years. He said, ‘It doesn’t matter, I wanna play now.’ That just shows what kind of mindset and what kind of attitude he has.

“I don’t think any injury is going to be able to stop him just because of his drive.”

After his 10-reception performance against the Cardinal, Jackson jumped to fifth place on the Wildcats with 18 receptions, and sixth with 152 yards.

Due to Rodriguez’s policy on injured players, Jackson won’t speak to the media this week, but in the spring Jackson told the Arizona Daily Wildcat that he can’t afford to ease up if he wants to keep playing for a Division I football program.

“I feel like I have to work harder than everyone else, it keeps me

hungry,” Jackson said. “I come out every day with a chip on my shoulder. I can’t ease up at all.”

Safety Jared Tevis and linebacker Sir Thomas Jackson both have made a name for themselves on defense, starting out as walk-ons and fighting their way into the Wildcats’ starting lineup.

Rodriguez has every intention of starting Jackson when he returns from injury, and receiver Austin Hill isn’t at all surprised that Jackson will likely join them in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

“I’m not surprised,” said Hill, who leads the Wildcats with 608 receiving yards and five touchdowns. “I knew when I met him that he was going to be a good player. Johnny works really hard, I know he’s fighting through injuries right now trying to get back on the field … but he’s always been working hard. He’s a great athlete.”

Arizona prefers the ‘golden goal’

Freshmen attempt to make waves for swim team

IMAN HAMDAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona soccer team has played in four games that ended in overtime this season, and hasn’t won any of them.

Granted, the Wildcats only lost one and tied the other three, as college soccer overtime rules don’t include shootouts in the event of a tie game after two overtime periods.

To put it into perspective, soccer players play 90 minutes of regulation time with a 15-minute break for halftime. According to NCAA soccer rules, two overtime periods, each 10 minutes long, are played in the event of ties at the end of regulation. That means an additional 20 minutes of soccer, bringing the duration of the game to 110 minutes. The additional 20 minutes often amounts to nothing more than a tie.

For the Wildcats, there is a varying degree of opinion from coaches and players about the overtime rule known as the “golden goal� — which states that

EVAN ROSENFELD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona’s No. 4 ranked men’s swimming program has a reputation for being among the best in the nation, in large part thanks to its recruiting prowess.

The Wildcats look to start another year off strong, hosting a two-day opening meet against Hawaii at Hillenbrand Aquatics Center Friday and Saturday.

Freshmen Andrew Sovero and Kelly Moodie are among the young swimmers expected to swim well this year for the Wildcats. “I’m definitely nervous coming into my first college meet,� Sovero said. “I have expectations but haven’t set anything too high for myself. I just want to go out this weekend and race and do my best.�

Sovero swam for McDonogh High School and the Eagle Swim Team in Maryland, the same school and team as UA freestyle/ fly swimmer Giles Smith. A native of Baltimore, Sovero has been swimming competitively since he was 6 years old. “I think I have pretty good power,�

Sovero said. “I’m definitely going to use it to my advantage coming off the blocks.�

In his junior year of high school, Sovero was named Junior National Champion in the 100 breaststroke, with a time of 54.77.

Aside from his main event, Sovero also compiled a 2:03 in the 200 breaststroke and looks to cut down his times even more.

In 2012 he was given AllAmerican honors in the 200 medley, 200 freestyle and 100 breaststroke.

After high school, Sovero committed to Arizona. He said he believed it to be the best fit for him. “It was my best option,� Sovero said. “They have a tradition of strong breaststrokers and a topfive team. I really pictured myself succeeding here.�

Wildcats smaller, yet ‘more athletic’ LUKE DAVIS Arizona Daily Wildcat

FRESHMEN, 10

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT FILE PHOTO GUARD DAVELLYN WHYTE finished the 2011 season ranked No. 2 in the Pac-12 in scoring, No. 2 in steals and No. 3 in three-point field goal percentage. Whyte leads a team this season that features five newcomers after the departure of key players like guard Shanita Arnold.

The Arizona women’s basketball team finished in last place in the Pac-12 last season, and as a result will enter this season with a major overhaul in its roster and playing style.

This year, the UA women will be one of the smaller teams in the Pac-12 conference and without five players from last season who combined to average 29.8 points and 14.5 rebounds a game. These players include last season’s assist leader, Shanita Arnold, who graduated, along with fellow senior guard Reiko Thomas.

Junior guard Lindsey Fearing transferred to Black Hills State University and freshman guard Erin Butler transferred to University of the Pacific — but the most notable transfer might be that of 6-foot-5 former freshman center Aley Rohde, who left Arizona for UNLV. After losing five key players, head coach Niya Butts had to scramble to fill her roster with freshmen recruits and transfers. Regardless, Butts said she feels the team can still compete.

the first team to score wins, and if no one scores then the game ends in a tie — and the overtime rule, which requires a shootout to determine the winner.

The goalie

“With the shootout, as a goalkeeper that is a lot of pressure to be put on you,” junior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman said. “But when there is a tie you don’t have any real results. By having that opportunity to do a shootout, it will give us a better chance to show everyone that we are here to win and not just hold out for a tie.”

Kauffman said she knows how she would approach a shootout.

“It is hard because they are 12 yards out and it’s difficult

freshmen from page 7

DeMont said he anticipates the two freshmen will swim well during the winter and expects them to improve as the spring nears.

“Both are really talented guys who don’t have a ton of training background,” DeMont said. “We hope they will both improve a lot, both at the conference level and at the NCAA level.”

Moodie, a native of Japan, is no stranger to success. Moodie swam at St. Mary’s International School in Tokyo, under his father who was head coach.

“I’m not very nervous,” Moodie said.

“Since arriving here, I’ve been training harder than ever. I’m pretty confident. Even though it takes a lot out of you, I know I can swim fast and do my best. It will be my first meet in five months.”

Throughout high school, Moodie compiled a 1:50.98 and a 3:56.09 in the 200 and 400 freestyle respectively and was a three-time national champion in Japan.

He also earned a bronze medal in the 200 freestyle at the Asian Junior Games.

“I chose Arizona because its tradition of excellence, both in the pool and academically,” Moodie said. “Since I’m an international swimmer, Arizona has a history of training and helping international swimmers succeed.”

“This team is a lot more athletic,” Butts said. “We’re going to get up and down the floor a lot faster and turn things up a lot on defense with a good amount of full court pressure.”

Butts was unable to recruit another 6-foot-5 center to crash the boards but was able to obtain a few athletes to help on both sides of the ball.

Junior guard/forward Lynette Holmes and Alli Gloyd are two of the four new players Butts recruited. Both stand at 6-foot-1 and can bring depth to the Arizona bench. Holmes most recently played at Xavier, where she averaged 12 points and 5.2 rebounds a game.

Last year, Gloyd was named Arizona’s Junior College Player of the Year at Mesa

“I like having the overtimes because penalty “I prefer golden goal,” kicks to me are more luck head coach Lisa Oyen said. than anything else,” senior “However, when you are on midfielder Susana Melendez the winning end of a penalty said. “I would rather try kick situation that’s not a and get a winner out of the bad thing either. I think most overtime. It is unfortunate players or coaches do not that overtime could end want a game determined by up in a tie, but it has to end somewhere.” penalty kicks.”

Being a midfielder Oyen said she realizes players are put in a physically requires Melendez to cover both ends of the field, so she demanding position.

“Let’s say you go through understands how physically three games of that, that is demanding double overtime another hour of soccer other can be.

“You have to forget about teams don’t have to play,” she said. “Not to mention, being tired and keep going,” when we play two games on Melendez said. “There are 10 a given weekend and we go other people on the field that into overtime two games in depend on you and are just row that’s 40 extra minutes as tired as you, so you have of soccer in a three day span. to dig down deep inside you It does take a physical and to find the strength.”

Community College, where she averaged 15 points to go along with eight rebounds and one block per game.

“I expect all the freshmen and transfers to contribute. We have that kind of team,” Butts said. “We’re a lot deeper this year and I feel good about it.”

Even though the Wildcats lost some talent, Butts’ and the Wildcats’ cupboard is not bare. Senior guard Davellyn Whyte, a 2012 Associated Press All-America honorable mention and All-Pac-12 selection, led the Wildcats last season in points and steals and is expected to be the team leader as captain.

“I think this will be the best season we’ll have since I’ve been here,” Whyte said.

“I think as a whole we’ll do pretty good.”

Along with Whyte, junior forward Erica Barnes will

also be a key factor in the Wildcats’ rotation. Barnes dealt with an injury last season but was still able to average 10.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per game, which led the team.

“The freshmen and transfers will be important this year,” Barnes said. “They have a lot of skills that we need and they make us a more deep team.”

The Wildcats open the season at home on Nov. 5 in an exhibition game against Grand Canyon University in McKale Center.

“The Pac-12 is one of the toughest conferences in the country,” Butts said.

“I feel pretty good where we are right now as a unit though. But our x-factor is, I think, going to be our bench and how they fit into the rotation.”
