hether it’s classified as an addiction or not, there’s little doubt that excessive video game playing can cause students a lot of problems.

Failing classes, straining their eyes and spending money they shouldn’t on video games are potential issues “addicts” can face, said Debra Cox-Howard, mental health clinician at Counseling and Psychological Services. She said she sees one to two video game addicts a month.

Playing video games becomes an addiction when it severely interferes with someone’s daily routine, she said.

Boredom, a sense of power from defeating other people and doing things they can’t in real life draws users in.

Before they know it, they’ve spent an entire day playing video games.

“It’s more of a problem at the UA than we’re aware of,” she said. “Some people get high off of video games, just like if they were using a mood-altering substance. It hurts students the most when they try concentrating on their studies.”

By Samantha Munsey The Compost Cats, a UA sustainability club, gave its first composting tour on Saturday to provide sustainability education to the public.

The tour, which took place at the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center, showed participants how compost is made from the collection of food waste to the process of decomposition into fertilizer.

“I think the tour went really well,” said Rachel Maxwell, a environmental sciences senior and a member of Compost Cats.

“It’s especially exciting because we started this over two years ago, so the fact that I can physically can see piles here and that people are actually interested in coming to see what we are doing, it’s great.”

Compost Cats, formerly known as Compost Go-Live, is a club made up of UA students who collect compostable food waste from the Student Union Memorial Center and nearby businesses around Tucson to create compost that is then donated to the university to be

Journalists to hold talk on drug wars

By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat

The UA’s Latin American Studies Student Organization will be hosting a talk today lead by two investigative journalists who have reported on the Mexican drug war.

The discussion, which is free to the public, is taking place at 5 p.m. in Saguaro Hall Room 202. Journalists John Gibler and Diego Osorno will be lecturing and facilitating a talk aimed to touch on a variety of topics including violence, social movements and efforts being made in Mexico to stop the drug war.

Gibler, who is from Texas, has been reporting in Mexico for the last six

experiences have allowed me to see lots of different aspects of student life at the UA, from why students come here to what they want to do to become successful. I see my role as listening to students and helping support them to become alumni.

Out of all of those roles, which was your favorite and why?

I really like what I was doing most recently. As assistant vice president, I oversaw a lot of programs. I was able to look across a number of different areas and see synergies that didn’t previously exist and bring them together. For example, Career Services and leadership programs didn’t interact closely. Companies are not only looking for smart, intelligent people but future leaders. I worked to bring those departments

addicted to video games, but it doesn’t affect his grades.

“If I stopped drinking, I’d be way better off than if I stopped playing Call of Duty,” he said.

Steve Rains, associate professor of communications, said video game addiction is not recognized as a disorder in the newest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Rains said the manual is considered the authority on what classifies as a disorder.

Pop culture uses “addiction” to refer to an excessive amount of time spent doing something, but it means something completely different to academics and health professionals, Rains said.

People call someone a “Facebook stalker” but nobody really thinks they’re an actual stalker. It’s the same kind of word misuse, Rains said.

Alexa Ballar, a pre-physiology freshman, said video game addiction doesn’t exist.

years and published a book on his experiences. Osorno is a reporter for the Melenio, a daily newspaper in Mexico and is also an author of a book titled “El Cartel de Sinaloa,” where he explains the issues and implications of drug cartels.

“I want students to not only get a sense of the scale of the social humanitarian disaster happening in Mexico, but also the fact that this is a disaster that is very intimately connected with the United States,” said Murphy Woodhouse, a graduate student in Latin American studies and one of the organizers of the event. “We need to take stock in our responsibility in this and also think

about what we can do to end this disaster of violence.”

The Binational Migration Institute, Graduate and Professional Student Council and the Office of Western Hemispheric Programs have provided assistance in getting the two journalists to come to Arizona after Woodhouse had expressed interest in Gibler’s book, “To Die in Mexico: Dispatches from Inside the Drug War,” and called the author on a whim to see if he was available to visit the UA campus.

“Folks really came out of the woodwork and made things happen in a quick and impressive way,” Woodhouse said.

If you could give one piece of advice to UA students, what would it be?

Students should make sure that they get engaged within the UA community. They should join a club or do something outside of the classroom that interests them, and makes them feel like they are a part of the UA community. When students do that, they are happier and more successful in the classroom. To us, that’s really important.

How do you plan to connect and together, and together they can make advocate for student leaders, orgagood things happen. nizations and students in general?

control,” she said. “Alcohol is an addiction, a video game is … um … you just need to grow up.”

But video games can be as addictive as alcohol, Cox-Howard said. Similar to drugs, video game addiction is classified on a case-by-case basis.

“It’s not a diagnosis that we can give someone like we could if they had substance abuse problems, but it has some of the same characteristics,” she said. “And that’s why we call it a video game addiction.”

Two weeks ago, Cox-Howard walked by the CODE, the video game center in the Park Student Union, and saw it full of students. One of the students told his friend he didn’t even know what time it was because he had playing games for so long, she said.

Ken Teng, an attendant at CODE, said customers don’t stay long enough to be considered addicts, but several of his friends are and spend 15 to 20 hours playing each day.

“On the weekends when we want to hang out or do something, they’d rather play their video games,” he said.

Teng said they would skip class to play video games, it affected their GPA’s and some of them dropped out of school.

USING YOUR HANDS

Gibler started living in Mexico beginning the summer of 2005 to cover social and political issues in the country. He said he was inspired to write his book as a way to have readers understand what is happening in the Mexican dug war.

“Living in Mexico throughout 2007, throughout 2008, watching the headlines with the constant barrage of execution stories and the very theatrical nature of the violence, it was shocking,” Gibler said. “To find a way to report on it and try to understand what was happening and contribute stories and information, that could, I think, make some of the most sensational hits that surround the issue of drugs

Is there anything else that you want students to know about you?

I am a father of three, ages 3, 5 and 17. The oldest is my partner’s son, and the two younger are our adopted sons that came as a result of our roles as foster parents. I’m a huge fan of Wildcat athletics — my two little ones think I work at Wilbur’s house — and I’m probably the biggest Madonna fan there ever was.

Tyler Wallace, a computer science sophomore, said nothing’s wrong with students playing video games, but it becomes an addiction when they start worshipping their Xboxes.

“They just play video games, that’s the sole purpose of their lives,” Wallace said.

Students don’t usually come into CAPS asking for help with video game addiction. It morphs into that from a discussion about time management and poor grades, Cox-Howard said.

Campus Health Service does not have specific programs or seminars about video game addiction, but Cox-Howard said it’s something that should be considered.

CAPS gives video game addicts the skills they need to balance their lives by helping them construct better schedules, encouraging them to be out in public more often and setting benchmarks for them to reach. CoxHoward said students receive five to seven counseling appointments for a video game addiction.

“I’m not saying ‘Oh my gosh, video games are bad and you should stay away from them.’ Not at all,” CoxHoward said. “Remember what you’re here for, have fun and keep a balance.”

which could be sold to retailers including Home Depot and Walmart.

Tar yn Contento, an environmental sciences junior and student employee for Compost Cats, said she is in charge of the garden that uses compost created by the club.

“We’re sprouting some beans right now, a little cilantro and next weekend, onions. To be involved on campus, there is a lot of opportunity to be hands on,” Contento said. The UA Green Fund awarded the club a $58,000 grant in March. The club uses the money to pay student employees as well as maintain equipment.

This includes a tractor and water tank to help break the compost up into long sections called windrows. Maxwell said she thinks that by showing people what can be done on a large scale for sustainability, they will be more inclined to do a small part in their everyday lives.

and so-called drug war.”

Osorno, who speaks Spanish, will have an interpreter from the Spanish and Portuguese department assisting him in translating responses and questions from the audience.

By the end of the lecture, Gibler wants to provide students with a better idea of what people are doing to help stop the drug war, including journalists.

“People believe in the importance of both stories and information for a citizen or a community as a way to try and change an unacceptable situation,” Gibler said. “People don’t want to give up. They do not want to surrender to the law of violence.”

when we called 911.”

Someone who claimed to be a professional lifeguard emerged from the crowd and began instructing others on how to respond to the woman’s injuries, witnesses said.

Then a man who said he was a trauma nurse stepped forward and cradled the woman’s head to prevent her from hitting it again in the middle of the seizures. The paramedics responded 10 to 15 minutes after the crash, according to Wade.

Both Wade and Wright said they were shocked by the incident and concerned about the woman’s condition.

The cyclist did not wish to comment immediately after the incident.

The name of the pedestrian has not been released and the University Medical Center-University Campus could not comment on her condition.

“We really want people to know what the university is doing to show people that it is really easy to live a sustainable lifestyle,” she said. “If the school is doing their part, then the community can do their part and hopefully if we get the community to do their part, then the individual will do their part as well.”

The next tour the club will host is for the Arizona Blue Chip Program, a leadership development program that combines academic leadership courses and extracurricular activities. Compost Cats is also involved in other projects and programs around campus like preparing to donate their compost to the UA Community Garden on Highland Avenue.

“Food waste from the student union and other business comes here, makes compost, and then goes into the UA Community Garden where we grow food with it again,” said Chet Phillips, a graduate student studying arid lands resource sciences and member of Compost Cats. “It kind of completes the circle.”

Praise to athletes who finish a degree Michelle A. Monroe Daily Wildcat

A

thletes are celebrities, and as a society, we hold them to a different standard than other people.

But what doesn’t make the headlines is much more interesting to me than what does.

The headlines are always about the same things: some team makes the playoffs, a player gets an extra $5 million on his contract or some athlete gets caught with a hooker in a hotel room.

I wouldn’t read any of those stories. There’s nothing new there.

Two NFL players returned to school and graduated with their bachelor’s degree.

I’d read that. It’s different, unexpected and definitely not what’s on the front of the sports section.

Former Arizona wide receiver Mike Thomas received an $18 million three-year contract extension from the Jacksonville Jaguars last week that takes him through the 2015 season, according to the Tucson Citizen. Great, football player makes millions.

I can’t blame them for leaving to go to the pros. … But the real heroes, the ones I’d look up to, are the players who make the time to finish what they started.

But what’s “new” with Mike Thomas is that he continued school after being drafted and graduated this past May with his bachelor’s degree.

Now that’s a story.

Baseball, men’s basketball and football teams have the worst graduation rates at the UA. I can’t blame them for leaving to go to the pros. What college can counter offer $18 million? Not a single one.

But the real heroes, the ones I’d look up to, are the players who make the time to finish what they started.

Miles Simon, Damon Stoudamire, Clarence Farmer and Robert Waldrop all graduated, and helped get their teams to improve their graduation rates by returning to school. But only by costing them graduation points with NCAA in the first place.

Sometimes if a player knows that they’re going to be drafted, they might slack off, not go to classes and their GPA drops below a 2.0. Those are the ones who cost the team points and they leave in bad standing with the university.

But they still have the opportunity to come back to school and finish their degree.

“You would hope they have that sense of loyalty too, just their own personal commitment to own goals,” said Mike Meade, CATS Academics director. “Ultimately, it’ll be (the) student’s decision.”

Some make the argument that professional athletes should get their degree in case they get injured.

With a multimillion dollar signing bonus, as long as they make it past the first year, I don’t see why they need to.

But, that’s what makes it all the more impressive and meaningful if they do.

The most recent example is Derrick Williams.

“Derrick Williams is in a different situation because of the lockout,” Meade said. “With his summer school classes, he may have decided to do it anyway. If the lockout hadn’t been in effect, he may not have been able to have time to do it.”

Derrick Williams promised his mother that he would get his college degree and this summer returned to classes to get one step closer to that dream.

He didn’t slack off, or ditch, his last semester.

He worked hard, left in good standing, and came back.

That’s a headline story.

That’s what we should be teaching our children to idolize.

The NBA rule for playing at least one year in college, and NFL’s for at least three years, are great rules. But there isn’t enough emphasis on those who actually graduate. College shouldn’t be some sort of limitation that players have to suffer through, and if they graduate, it should be important to fans.

‘Occupy’ movements alter national dialogue Daniel Desrochers Daily Wildcat

T

he time for change has finally arrived. For years we have listened to complaints about the way the government is run. We have watched large corporations funnel money into political campaigns to get legislation passed that benefits their own personal interests. We watched as citizens’ tax money went into bailing out companies who were fiscally irresponsible and then we stood by as those CEO’s that we bailed out continued to get absurd bonuses and disproportionate salaries. America’s current system is failing.

Beginning with a small following online, the idea of Occupy Wall Street sprung from the dissatisfaction of the citizens and began bringing attention to the problems in the government. Soon after, a small gathering began in New York City; people started living in a park near Wall Street appropriately named Liberty Square. Every day for three weeks, these people peacefully marched towards Wall

Street singing, chanting and calling out for change. They claimed to represent the 99 percent of the population who does not benefit from the capitalist system as it is. The number of people supporting the movement is growing daily, and not just on Wall Street. Around the country, occupy movements are sprouting up, occupying cities like Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, and now Tucson. This combined movement is being called Occupy Together.

The message of the movement is vague, but mostly it calls for change. Most of the ideas are centered on economic change because the implications of our current capitalist system mean that we have a disproportionate amount of the population taking too much money for their own gain. What the occupy movement is trying to do is spread the money that has been accumulated by few, to the masses. If this were to work we would no longer be making progress

to make the most money, we would be making progress to benefit society as a whole.

Occupy Together is run by an entirely democratic system. A general assembly meets in the park and in order to make a decision the people must come to a full consensus, the way democracy first began in Rome. While having no central leadership, the movement is digitally organized. Messages are sent out as to when and where the groups are occupying, and people meet and go from there. This is the wave of the future. The start of change can be as easy as hitting the send button.

Occupy Together isn’t about supporting a political agenda: it’s bigger than Republican or Democrat. The movement is about supporting humanity and trying to make the world a better place. I’m not going to stand up on a soapbox like Brother Jed and declare that the Occupy movement is perfect because that simply isn’t true. The goals that the movement is trying to reach are extremely idealistic.

But with the way our country is headed right now, we could use a little more idealism in our lives.

Immigration debate should be focusing on human element Storm Byrd Daily Wildcat

I

llegal immigration, while perhaps not the hot button issue it once was in the days of SB 1070’s drafting, is still a polarizing topic. It brings out perhaps the worst in our political discourse.

This Sunday an illegal immigrant died while crossing through the hot Arizona desert. When Border Patrol agents found him and his cousin, he was unconscious.

Their intentions for crossing the border were unclear, but ultimately they don’t matter. What matters is that a man died in incredible heat and although he was an illegal immigrant, Border Patrol agents still came to his aid and the aid of his cousin, although the cousin did not require medical attention. The man was airlifted to a nearby hospital, but died.

In an unrelated incident, agents in Casa Grande saved a woman and a man, both in their late 30s. They were suffering from

dehydration and severe heat exposure.

Again, it doesn’t matter that they were illegal immigrants, it matters that they were human beings. Although things like this happen seemingly everyday in border states, they still deserve our attention.

There’s still a lesson to be learned here.

The immigration issue is so very sensitive that it causes schisms across America and incites highly passionate emotional responses. But it’s vital that we don’t get overly caught up in the topic and forget that we’re talking about human lives here. There’s no debating that fact.

Those who are staunchly against illegal immigration are labeled as racists with distaste for the Latino population.

Those who are supportive of an easier path to citizenship for immigrants are “soft on immigration” and are otherwise regarded as sympathizers to law-breaking

individuals. What gets lost in the hoopla is that we’re not dealing with some form of alien species, we’re dealing with real human beings, flesh and bone.

As both sides spin the topic of immigration in their light, they miss the humans involved. Yes, those adamantly opposed to immigration cite either drug trafficking or mysterious job losses in the U.S. as the burdens of illegal immigration.

Meanwhile, the other side of the argument is that these are people who are in search of a better life and in pursuit of their own American Dream — no different than any of our ancestors. Regardless, they’re human beings all the same and that’s something we often forget while we’re passionately locking horns with counter arguments.

It does not matter what your ethnicity, heritage or citizenship may be, nobody deserves to die. The response Border Patrol agents provided is truly remarkable.

Even they understand that we’re dealing with people, even though we sometimes forget that humanity is at the very center of the immigration debate.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

I cannot tell a lie, that bottle is mine A University of Arizona Police Department officer was on patrol near Seventh Street and Campbell Avenue around 2 a.m. on Thursday when he noticed a car fail to stop at a stop sign.

When the officer conducted a traffic stop and spoke to the driver, he could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from inside the car. He told the driver to get out of the car. The driver showed no signs of alcohol consumption.

She told the officer she and the passengers had been at The Rock, but she had been working so she did not drink at all. One of the passengers admitted to drinking alcohol, but he was more than 21 years old. The officer noticed an open bottle with approximately one to two ounces of dark rum in it stashed in the storage area of the driver’s seat.

The front passenger told the officer, “That bottle is mine, sir.

I put it there yesterday and would not have if I knew there was still alcohol in it.� The man told the officer he was only 20 years old and used someone else’s identification to get into the bar. He said he took the ID from someone without him knowing.

Be steal my heart A UAPD officer responded to the UofA Bookstore at 4 p.m. on Thursday in reference to a shoplifter in custody. The man in custody told the officer he was playing a joke on his girlfriend by pretending he was going to steal something.

He said he took a UA basketball jersey off a hanger and tucked it into the side pocket of his backpack. The man then walked out of the bookstore without paying and was stopped by an employee.

He said his girlfriend did not see him steal the jersey and he was planning on walking out of the store and then showing the jersey to her as a joke.

He said he would have then gone back into the bookstore and returned it. The jersey was valued at $75.

The man was cited and released at the scene for shoplifting.

Looking like a fool with your wallet on the ground A UAPD officer was on patrol near the UA Main Library on Thursday when he found a wallet on the ground. The wallet contained an Arizona driver’s license, miscellaneous business cards, $43 in cash and two debit cards.

UAPD is unsure of who the wallet belongs to because the driver’s license and the debit cards belong to two different people.

The wallet was placed into property and evidence.

Safety Hall likely done for season

By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

“I think it was very positive,” Kish said. “It was a chance for him to have an opportunity to put some closure on himself but understand that he’s still with the team.”

With the tumultuous two weeks that the program has faced, Kish is excited about the prospect of his players being able to come about and just play some football.

“We certainly moved on quickly to the healing process. The focus is good,” he said. “I think the energy and the enthusiasm has been great.

“I look forward to having that opportunity Thursday night.”

After recording 10 tackles in his first game back from a torn ACL, Arizona safety Adam Hall re-aggravated his knee and won’t play against UCLA this week.

Hall will most likely use a medical redshirt that will keep him on the bench until next season.

Arizona interim head coach Tim Kish said that he expects linebacker Jake Fischer, cornerback Jonathan McKnight and defensive tackle Willie Mobley to wait until next season to return to action following their own ACL injuries.

Despite Hall’s absence, the Coaching carousel Wildcats can take solace in the fact that cornerback Trevin Wade For Kish, the most difficult will return to action after injuring part of his transition to the head his shoulder against Oregon State. coaching job has been the juggling of his duties.

Stoops talks to the “(I’m) having to wear two hats team for a final time right now,” Kish said. “It pulls at you in a lot of different directions, After former head coach Mike so I try to separate that when I Stoops’ dismissal, the questions can.

“I’m still the defensive surrounding the future of the team coordinator and having all the were endless, and after a week of adjustments, Stoops was able to talk responsibility of the practice to his former players in an effort for organization and then being the head coach, it’s time consuming closure.

Mike Christy/ Daily Wildcat Kish was all for it, saying that from that standpoint,” he added.

Arizona fourth in Basketball faces life minus Williams, Jones hoops revenue

By Daily Wildcat

By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat

Derrick Williams stepped up to the free throw line for the final time in McKale Center on March 5. As he prepared to take the shot, the chant “One more year, one more year!” rang out from the ZonaZoo section.

The fans didn’t get their wish. On April 13, Williams declared himself eligible for the NBA draft and in June he was drafted No. 2 overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Wildcats lost their best scorer, rebounder and overall leader.

That changed things for head coach Sean Miller.

Almost exactly one month later, Momo Jones elected to transfer due to family and personal reasons.

The UA floor general was gone, and Arizona men’s basketball team entered a state of transition.

Miller’s plans had to change again.

“Every year, especially with as much turnover as you can have with young guys leaving early,” Miller said, “it’s just a whole new team dynamic.”

On Wednesday, Miller said the 2011 Wildcats would continue with the strategy he implemented last season — score by committee.

“We may be a team of just great balance where we have a number of players that can get double figures on a given night,” Miller said. “Things really work out well for us on one particular night, we have five or six players in double figures.”

In 2010, Williams and Jones started every game for the Wildcats and combined for nearly 40 percent of Arizona’s scoring. Williams was the teams leading rebounder, and led the team in blocks and steals. Jones was the guy to take the highlight shot

and complimented Williams.

The answer to the loss of Williams and Jones is to filter more playing time through Arizona’s veteran returners and mixing in four new freshmen players, Miller said.

Although unproven at the collegiate level, Miller said the freshmen were game-ready and should see significant time this season.

“I think last year, in all 38 games we played 10 players … I look at this year’s team being able to do the same,” Miller said. “As we play minutes in November, they may not be anywhere close to the minutes you see us give out in March or in February.”

But players said Miller’s plan

Basketball, 10

The Arizona men’s basketball team brought in the fourth-highest revenue in the nation during the 2009-10 season, according to research done by the Memphis Business Journal.

In head coach Sean Miller’s first season, the school earned a revenue of nearly $19.3 million. That came despite the Wildcats missing out on the NCAA tournament for the first time in 25 years and posting an average 16-15 record.

The Wildcats were also ranked No. 8 on the list for what the Memphis Business Journal called game day expenses; UA spent more than $1.7 million in that realm but was 35th in basketball expenses, spending just more than $5.8 million.

The database said Arizona spent $115,400 per player over the course of the season.

The Duke Blue Devils, who won the NCAA title in 2010, led with a revenue of more than $26.6 million. The other college basketball powerhouses in front of Arizona in revenue were Louisville, who raked in $25.89 million, and North Carolina, who brought in almost $20.6 million.

Syracuse, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio State and Michigan State round out the top-10 in that order.

The rival ASU Sun Devils were ranked No. 43 in total revenue for the 2009-10 season with almost $8.6 million in earnings.

The projectings showed correlation between spending and winning. Of the top-35 spenders in 2010, 13 appeared in a Final Four from 2005-2011. Every team from 2005-2011 to win a title was in the top-25 spending teams.

Practice problems a tricky deal for hockey

By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat

The Tucson Convention Center gives the Arizona hockey team an advantage when playing at home. It seats thousands of passionate fans in a real arena.

There’s just one little catch — at times, it doesn’t have any ice.

It’s the drawback to playing at the largest venue in ACHA club hockey, defenseman Michael Basist said.

For these last two months, the Tucson Convention Center has been without ice because it was holding other events, forcing the team to travel to the Polar Ice rink in Chandler for ice time.

This problem is not new for the Wildcats. According to the Tucson Adult Hockey League’s website, the only public ice rink available in Tucson closed in 2007, causing the team to make the long trip to Chandler ever since.

“It’s happened in all my four years here,” assistant captain Brady

Kyle Johnson / Daily Wildcat

Without ice at the Tucson Convention Center, the UA hockey team can only skate once a week when it travels to Chandler.

Lefferts said.

The trip But first year coach Sean Hogan is trying to implement a new system and The bus ride, which takes culture to the program, the inability approximately an hour and forty-five to practice in Tucson has made the minutes each way, leaves the TCC transition just that much harder. around 6 p.m. and returns to campus

“In between classes you try to get most of your work done online,” Murmes said.

In addition, it can become even harder when a major assignment is due. For example, Slugocki has a paper due Wednesday and practice in Chandler this week is on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

“It’s tough to have enough time to be able to put into schoolwork,” Slugocki said.

“It really just comes down to being well organized and having time management to know when to do these things.”

While the late start on Tuesday works for most of the team, assistant captain Geordy Weed has not been able to make the trip because of a class Class work he has Tuesday evenings.

“Coach is really big on school While the bus does provide ample time for studying or homework, work, keeping up with the grades and the online material of most classes all that, (and) I completely agree, but nowadays makes time management hockey, 10 more difficult. around 1a.m.

“It’s a good chunk out of your day that you’re traveling,” captain Brian Slugocki said.

“It’s quite the time commitment.”

Since the team takes a charter bus, the players have the luxury of watching movies. The playlist is diverse, and they occasionally show hockey movies, but as Slugocki said, the players have “pretty much seen all hockey movies ever created.”

Since they never stop in Chandler, the players try to find many places still open to eat when the team gets back, making Cheba Hut and Mama’s Hawaiian BBQ popular for players, according to forward Andrew Murmes.

A. parents have a higher risk of developing an alcohol

Research indicates that children of alcohol-dependent

problem than those without. Alcohol dependence is characterized by tolerance, withdrawal effects, the inability to stop drinking, and continued drinking, despite serious psychological or physiological problems. Below are several factors to consider: Heredity – Biology certainly plays a role in alcohol dependence and some studies say that the risk may be as high as 50% in the children of alcohol-dependent parents. Sons of dependent fathers seem to be at even greater risk than daughters. Heritable personality traits are also likely to influence risk of dependence.

Some of these characteristics include thrill-seeking tendencies, anti-social behavior, anxiety, and depression. Even so, there are more factors at play than your DNA. Personal Habits – Children raised in a home with excessive and frequent drinking learn that alcohol is a part of daily life. If drinking is established as a normative behavior, children can pick up their parents’ habit without even thinking that they have a choice about alcohol.

Environmental Influence – Growing up in an alcohol-dependent environment can have negative repercussions, especially for children. Unhappiness, lack of attention, and unpredictable (or even violent) behavior of parents can lead to poor coping skills in children. This can fuel the flames of alcohol problems later in life.

“Risk is not destiny,” according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Although you inherited many of your parents’ personality traits, alcoholism doesn’t have to be one of them. If you want to talk with an experienced professional about your family history or your drinking, call Counseling and Psych Services at (520) 621-3334.

FOOTBALL

FROM PAGE 6

Kish has also made an adjustment so that offensive coordinator Seth Littrell and his staff will have autonomy in terms of calling the offense on Thursday. It wasn’t a tough call for Kish, who admitted that their knowledge of the offense superseded his own.

“Based on their expertise, and my expertise, (it was) that simple,” Kish said.

In an attempt to bring a different dynamic to the special teams on Thursday, running backs coach Garret Chachere and receivers coach Dave Nichol will take over duties on the sideline while special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt will watch upstairs from the coaches booth.

“Jeff will be upstairs to have a chance for the first time to

Bonano has ‘air of confidence’ Senior John Bonano will take the starting placekicking job, replacing Alex Zendejas for the Wildcats on Thursday against the Bruins.

With the level of maturity that Bonano brings to the team, not to mention the struggles of Zendejas and one-time starter Jaime Salazar, the decision was easy for Kish.

“He just has an air of confidence about him,” Kish said. “We put him in some tough situations this week.

We’re trying to create some game-like situations to answer the question about what were some of the subtle changes from practice.”

“He’s been absolutely excellent, I just like his demeanor.”

Murmes said. “Riding the bike and that stuff helps, but you got to skate.”

We just got to make sure we work harder off ice to compensate for the missed ice time.”

And while all the travel has been inconvenient for the Wildcats, Murmes doesn’t let it frustrate him.

“We love hockey, that’s why we play,” Murmes said. “And I know even through juniors and high school, when you play hockey, you dedicate everything to it.

There is going to be traveling, there are going to be obstacles and everything.

“The 27 guys just love (hockey) more than anything, and it’s fun hanging out with them.”

to spread time and points across the roster this season is something they’re used to. Arizona’s veterans are ready to spread the wealth and make way for the freshmen talent to help contribute this season.

“What’s good about this team is we’ve got more players that can contribute,” guard Kyle Fogg said.

“Multiple guys averaging double digits per game as opposed to one player averaging 20.”

Junior forward Kevin Parrom was shot in the left hand and right leg on Sept. 24 in the Bronx, New York, and his return to the team this season is in serious doubt.

“We’re going to have to learn how to play and practice without him,” Miller said. “Again, optimistically, maybe even cautiously optimistic, we hope to welcome him back to our team at some point.”

Parrom was a valuable part of Miller’s bench options last season.

Although he only started three games for Arizona, he saw action in all 38 games and made a serious impact on the scoreboard along with Williams and Jones. Combined, the trio accounted for 48 percent of Arizona’s scoring all season and 50 percent of its scoring in conference play.

Parrrom averaged nearly eight points and 20 minutes per game.

Parrom’s impact

“We know that Derrick was a big factor and Momo was a big factor in terms of points per game but there’s a lot of players that worked hard this summer and got better.”

— Jordin Mayes, sophomore guard

“Derrick Williams is irreplaceable — 20 (points) and 10 (rebounds) on any night. We’re not even going to try to replace him.”
