Economy causing birth rate to decline

to give their residents an alternative to the typical Halloween experience,” said Shelby Deemer, a pre-business sophomore and vice president of public relations for the RHA. According to Sgt. Juan Alvarez, public information officer for the University of Arizona Police Department, nothing out of the ordinary is typically reported from residence halls around campus during Halloween.

“We don’t get any different type of calls on Halloween because it is Halloween,” Alvarez said. “We get a

As the economy continues to weigh down on the job market and cause insurance losses, it has also led to a decline in childbirths.

A study by the Pew Research Center indicated that in 2007 there were 4,316,233 births in the United States, a record high. In 2009, the number of births dropped to 4,131,018. The Pew Research Center analysis also reported that there was a correlation between households that were hit hard by the economy and the fertility decline.

“When the economy struggles, we see a significant increase in the number of people trying to limit their family size or postpone having another child,” Karen Ford Manza wrote in an email. Ford Manza is the chief executive officer of the Arizona Family Health Partnership.

“I do think that’s kind of been a trend for quite some time,” said Carol Bafaloukos, the associate medical director at Planned Parenthood Arizona. “People are establishing their careers before they’re child-bearing.”

Since the economy is down, more people are going to school, said Niam Hameed, a physiology senior. She said people still wait to have children when they are ready but the economy probably plays a big role in that decision.

Hameed said she thinks students are not seeking another responsibility because they want to finish school first.

“I think they’re here to go to school,” Hameed said. “I think people are becoming more educated now.”

Chris Huey, a marketing senior, said he thinks students aren’t ready to start families in addition to their heavy class loads.

“Students don’t really have enough

The Cyber Citizen Forum’s message to UA students is the same as it is to the other 2 billion users on the Internet — stay safe in cyberspace.

Youth, new roles plague Wildcats in loss Arizona basketball loses first exhibition game since 1984

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Turnovers. Mental mistakes.

Missed free throws. Late defensive rotations. Lack of toughness on the glass. No interior presence in the paint. No go-to guy to take clutch shots.

Arizona’s lack of experience among its four freshmen coupled with the redefined roles of its returners resulted in the Wildcats’ 69-68 loss to Seattle Pacific on Thursday night in McKale Center — their first home loss since March 11, 2010.

“We’re trying to bring in four freshmen to a group, a group that although has a lot of returners, they have new

roles with bigger pressure,” said UA head coach Sean Miller. “Notice at the end of the game, free throws that win games were shot. Shots to win games were shot. Guys needed to get big stops. Although we have a lot of returners, they’re in different roles.”

Junior Kyryl Natyazhko was never asked to play major minutes last season. In fact, he’s never played more than 17 minutes in a game in his UA career. That lack of experience showed up against the Falcons, as he pulled down just one board in 24 minutes.

Senior leader Kyle Fogg was a role player and lockdown defender on last year’s Elite Eight team. He’s expected to be one of Arizona’s go-toguys this season. In his first game as a leader, he went 1-for-4 with three points in 26 minutes on Thursday.

Senior forward Jesse Perry will be counted on to shoulder the

rebounding load this season after being the garbage man of sorts during the 2010-11 season. He grabbed only two boards in 29 minutes, as the Wildcats were out-rebounded 29-20 on the night.

“I can’t really explain what it was.

It was just one of those days. There’s no excuse why we didn’t rebound,” Perry said. “We’ve just got to crash the boards more.”

Perry also missed the front end of a one-and-one late in the game that, had he made both free throws, would have cut the deficit to two with less than a minute remaining.

Solomon Hill embraced his larger role by scoring 16 points, grabbing six boards and collecting four steals in a team-high 30 minutes. But even he missed a crucial free throw late in the game.

Police Beat

Prank reaps grim reaction A University of Arizona Police Department officer spoke with a UA employee on Monday who reported a Halloween decoration had been stolen from the door to her office in the College of Nursing. The woman said she had purchased a Grim Reaper decoration from Party City for $30. She last saw the decoration around 4 p.m. on Sunday, but when she returned to work at 8 a.m. on Monday, the Grim Reaper was gone. The decoration was made of burlap material and featured a skeleton wrapped in a black cloak holding a sickle. The woman said she did not know who would have taken it. There are no suspects or witnesses.

Hanging by a thread … but not any more A UAPD officer spoke with a representative from the Honors College on Monday who reported that a banner had been stolen from the Slonaker House. The banner is turquoise and features the words “Honors College” and an image of a building column on it. The estimated value of the banner is $300.

The man said the banner had been hanging on a pole outside the building and appeared to have been cut off with scissors.

There are no suspects or witnesses.

Break on through the car window A UAPD officer met with a man on Monday who reported that someone had broken the front passenger window of his car. The man had parked his Toyota RAV4 in a parking lot off of Cherry Avenue around 8 a.m. Monday. He returned to his car at 2 p.m. and the window was still intact. When the man later returned to his car at 4 p.m., the window was shattered. The man told the officer that nothing appeared to be stolen from the inside of the car.

There was no evidence as to who might have broken the window.

The man was given a victim’s rights form.

Crombie says the amount of activity reported in the halls is tame compared to her experiences in other colleges.

“The school that I went to for my undergrad had huge Halloween issues. I mean every year there was a riot,” Crombie said. “So in comparison to the experience I had with Halloween on campus, the University of Arizona is really nice.”

Crombie said part of the reason for that could be effective education efforts by the RHA. “Students, I think, at this point of the year have learned safe practices and know how to manage their less safe behavior, so hopefully to this point our work is being

Some of the precautions that halls are taking this Halloween weekend include more RAs patrolling and reporting misconducts on a more frequent basis.

“There are people constantly circulating the building and we have a duty phone to call the UAPD in case anything happens and prohibit alcohol in the area,” said Breanna Lance, an elementary childhood education senior and RA in Graham-Greenlee. “This is my first year as RA, so (from) what I have heard in the past, we have been fine in maintaining curious behavior.”

event cost around $1,500 and between 350 and 400 people attended, said Teresa Banks, senior program coordinator with the Information Security Office. Bogart said it’s the first time the Department of Homeland Security has collaborated with the UA for an event like this.

“Just like the slogan, I hope students stop, think and connect after the event,” Bogart said. “Stop and think about what you’re doing and what the consequences might be before you make a decision.”

Roy Burgess, the lead on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, encouraged members of the crowd to share the information they learned with anyone who would listen. “Become a source of information, it’s a shared responsibility,” he said.

“Friends don’t let friends do stupid things.”

Javier Lagarda, a management information systems junior, said the event was informative and that he wasn’t surprised by the content.

people know,” he said. “ I’m hoping to teach other people what I learned because the percentage of people that aren’t aware of this stuff is staggering.”

showed that the Hispanic population had the greatest decrease in childbirth rates compared to other racial and ethnic groups due to economic hardship.

From 2008 to 2009, the birth rate dropped almost 6 percent, according to the data.

Bafaloukos said people can get subsidized family planning. Planned Parenthood has shown a decline in family planning services over the past couple of years.

“Many families just can’t afford to grow now, particularly those men and women who have lost jobs and lost insurance coverage,” Ford Manza wrote. “Longeracting methods of contraception can be expensive and we’re seeing more and more people in our network who never thought they would end up looking for subsidized care.”

Bafaloukos said she knows Planned Parenthood has a lot of patients who have lost insurance coverage and “they don’t

necessarily want to come in for a complete exam if they can’t afford it.”

“Women are just delaying their fertility,” she said. “They’re delaying their first children until they’re a little bit older, until they’re a little more established.”

Bafaloukos added that the economy probably contributes to this.

She said she doesn’t think abortion availability has affected the birth decline, but that the lack of availability has probably caused abortion numbers to drop. According to data from the Arizona Department of Health Services, there were 10,721 abortions performed in Arizona in 2007, and in 2009, there were 10,271. Bafaloukos said she hopes more women are using birth control and emergency contraception.

“We hope the fact that emergency contraception went over-the-counter has decreased the unplanned pregnancies,” she added.

Winter begins, ‘skummer’ reappears A UAPD officer was on patrol around 4 p.m. on Monday when he noticed graffiti on a stairwell of the Henry Koffler building. The graffiti was approximately 3 feet by 15 feet.

The words “ENDLESS SKUMMER” were written in black spray paint. The building was tagged with a similar message on Oct. 17. There are no suspects or witnesses.

Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA.

Stolen bike A UAPD officer spoke with a woman on Monday who reported that her bicycle had been stolen. The woman said she had locked her mint green and silver Fuji bike to the racks near Tyndall Avenue and Fifth Street on Oct. 21. When she returned to the racks on Monday, she noticed her bike was missing but her lock was still in place. The woman said she believed the wheel had been taken off to allow easy access to her bike. She estimated the value of her bike was $299. The woman provided the serial number and a bill of sale from Performance Bike, where she bought it.

In Pima County alone, there were 13,798 births in 2007, which dropped to 12,840 in 2009, according to data from the Arizona Department of Health Services.

Ford Manza said there is an increased demand for long-term contraception methods during an economic downturn. Based on family size and income, women may receive a sliding scale on their birth control, Bafaloukos said. Planned Parenthood also has a program that allows patients to receive their birth control without an exam.

“We are seeing patients that are just trying to get their birth control no matter how they can get it,” she said.

Top 5 most slutty, overdone costumes

By Ashley Pearlstein DAILY WILDCAT

Somewhere in the midst of puberty, between braces and driving, the idea that Halloween was about scary stories, candy and carving pumpkins was erased from our memories. Now, Halloween is an excuse to wear a slutty costume, add another drunken episode to your growing list of college mistakes and play beer pong with orange cups instead of red for the night.

Costume-wearers no longer compete in contests of which is the scariest or the most believable, but of which is the sluttiest and least respectable.

In the parade of familiar costumes, a few overdone ones never fail to make the list. I challenge you to make Halloween more about creativity and candy again by avoiding these horrible ensembles:

Animal

Bunny, tiger, mouse, kitten … they are all the same. Somehow an overwhelming number of girls think that a skimpy black leotard and some sort of headband with makeshift ears make them look like an animal. No. The fact that their leotards are riding up and their ears and fake eyelashes have come off in a daze of drunkenness makes them look like a hot mess — a Tasmanian devil at best, but definitely not a sexy animal.

Construction worker

Builder hats are for kids trick-or-treating, not for college liquor pounding. Put some clothes on before you catch pneumonia.

Devil

A tight-fitting, revealing red dress, devil horns and a pitchfork are sufficient props for this ensemble. It seems that this costume is mistaken as a way to show that the girl wearing it is naughty or dangerous. What this costume is really telling a guy is not that you are naughty, but that you are easy and crying out for attention.

This has become more popular recently Schoolgirl for reasons unknown. Last Halloween, there Outside of Britney Spears a la “Baby One were countless girls making the walk of shame down Greek Row with nothing but a hard hat More Time,” you’d be hard-pressed to find a and yellow caution tape wrapped around their schoolgirl who attends classes in a short skirt that reveals her lacy thong and a tied up, see“not-so-private” areas. Those plastic Bob the

through blouse that shows her stomach and lacy black push-up bra. It’s also a safe bet that an actual schoolgirl probably makes it through a school day without needing to enhance the outfit with pigtails and fake, thick black glasses with duct tape in the middle. If even B. Spears has let this look go, maybe there’s something else you can do.

Nurse

This is not to say that nurse costumes are always slutty, but they can be. They are also undeniably overdone in the world of Halloween costumes. It’s time to get more creative and ditch the pin-up nurse look. Knock-out nurses looking to sexily take your temperature aren’t common, and I’m also pretty sure real nurses don’t wear fishnet stockings and patent red high heels (or stomp around frat parties either).

GAME FREAK

Become immersed in Halloween horror Discover the Scary movie drinking game This is aimed at the college student who is chill but still likes to party, invite a small group of friends over for a classic horror flick and break out the booze. Any film will do, whether you want something legitimately scary or Jason Krell something a bit campier — remember, the DAILY WILDCAT point is to drink.

There are all kinds of lists to be found online, Considering Halloween weekend begins but for easy reference here are some basic ones today, in this week’s Game Freak I’m going to to follow. talk about all the great games you can play to Take one shot if: you can see the killer but spook up the night if you choose to stay in. an actor can’t, there is a false death scare, Not everyone decides to go out on Halloween someone survives a deadly fall, there’s a boob night and there are plenty of more low-key ways shot, someone in the film is drunk or stoned, to get in the spirit than going to a rager.

Fraternity website inaccurate Ashley Reid Daily Wildcat

I

am a complete sorority girl. I must confess, however, I am not Total Frat Move’s biggest fan.

Ask any Greek Life member about the website Total Frat Move (TFM) and they will know exactly what you’re referring to. It’s basically an essential supplement for fraternity and sorority members. If you are a GDI — excuse my lingo, a god damn independent, or non-Greek Life member — think of TFM and TSM (Total Sorority Move) as the comparable all-greek version of Texts From Last Night.

I am probably one the most dignified Greek Life members you will ever meet. I literally eat, breathe and sleep my sorority. It is a way of life for me, and I take everything seriously.

I love this lifestyle so dearly that I am sharing my opinion because it’s upsetting to see greek members with hot air balloon-sized egos embracing these ridiculous stereotypes.

TFM has done much more than provoke laughter, make heads nod and people say, “That was totally me last weekend.” It has become a massive unifying network that has given fraternities and sororities a common ground. No matter how competitive chapters may be across the nation, TFMs and TSMs do what fraternal bonds were meant to do — give people an incomparable connection. TFM has created an online brotherhood/sisterhood, and sets the greeks apart from the rest. It highlights all of the beautiful things about being greek: eternal friendship, ritual, philanthropy and even postgrad and alumni relations.

But when TFMs are bad, they are really bad.

I’m talking toxic, makes-me-want-to-slapsomeone bad. I’m talking about knowing how to make the best sandwich is more important than studying, and TSMs flaunting the fact that collecting fraternity men’s T-shirts is a memento from “shacking.”

I pity the woman who takes the TSM wall literally. It’s all fun and games until someone actually doesn’t make grades because they spent too much time crafting, baking and tweeting. If you truly do want to be a housewife in life, kudos to you. However, people who do have the opportunity to get a degree other than a “Mrs. Degree” should take advantage of it. Being intelligent is beautiful, so embrace it. I wish avid TSM users would quit this whole ditzy-procrastinator thing and be what sorority women are about: intelligence, phenomenal morals, grace and class. Remember, honey, no amount of Lilly Pulitzer dresses or frat stars you have kissed will give you poise.

The actual TFM wall doesn’t perturb me as much. Maybe it’s because I am obviously not a fraternity man, but I conclude that it’s because of the fact that fraternity men have been the same since the late 1800s — chivalrous and successful, but all around ridiculous with insane antics.

I am a firm believer of the greek system and am most proud to be a part of it, but it would be nice to see more of the positive aspects of being a part of a fraternal bond.

Pulse of the Pac This week we talked about racist Halloween costumes, presidential hopefuls and the student loan debt crisis. Meanwhile, the rest of the Pac-12 offered thoughts on freedom of speech for corporations, Islamophobia and the idea of greed being good in America.

The Daily Californian UC-Berkeley

The Daily Utah Chronicle Utah

The Daily Trojan USC

In the decision for Citizens United against the Federal Elections Commission, the Supreme Court recognized that campaign finance laws limiting political spending by corporations are an inhibition of freedom of speech. In winning over five of the justices, lawyers for Citizens United pursued a broad interpretation of the First Amendment by making the small theoretical leap that corporations are in fact people, too, and should therefore enjoy the same right of free speech protected by the Constitution … The real victor here is democracy, which flourishes when power is appointed to the people. It took a very long time, but the recognition that corporations are people, and that they are entitled to free political speech finally completes the unification of government with the interests of those who can make their voices heard … The influence of money on legislators in Washington is well known. As the Supreme Court’s perpetual swing vote and writer of the court’s 5-4 majority opinion, Justice Anthony Kennedy responded to the threat of increased corruption by explaining that any danger a torrent of corporate money might bring would be mitigated by the court’s additional mandate (8-1) for “transparency (which) enables the electorate to make informed decisions and give proper weight to different speakers and messages.

Thursday, student government hosted a Lunch and Learn Dialogue about Islamophobia, where speaker Amer Ahmed of the University of Michigan emphasized the peacefulness of Islam and simultaneously criticized the United States.

Although Amer did a fantastic job illustrating the religion of Islam as one of benignity, he rarely addressed the actual term of Islamophobia.

There are different types of offenses, especially in a post-9/11 America, which Ahmed never distinguished separately. Racism, the predominant form of bigotry today, against Arabs and those with similar skin complexions, are atrocious phenomenons in the United States. That should, however, be separated from criticism of certain interpretations of Islam, such as the radical interpretation that is Wahabism, a conservative form of Islam seeking to purify the religion. Although Ahmed conflated bigotry and Islamophobia, recognizing the distinction between the two is crucial in order for us to move forward. This type of criticism leveled at Islam is valid, as radical interpretations of the Quran are palpable threats in the world today. Because this type of criticism rests on real world premises, those who unleash it aren’t Islamophobic — rather, they are critical of certain constructions of Islam.

The best way to describe Occupy Wall Street is as an eclectic movement expressing a shared discontent toward the nation’s distribution of wealth as well as the perceived greed of corporations and Wall Street. Though the opinions, grievances and goals of the Occupy protesters are too numerous and diverse to succinctly categorize, there is one observable, important characteristic that separates the protesters into two distinguishable groups. There are protesters whose primary interest is putting what they see as a rigged system back onto a level playing field where everyone has a fair chance to compete … The other group of protesters is primarily concerned with crusading against what it sees as an inherently flawed system based on corporate greed and capitalistic malfeasance. For those, the idea is to eradicate capitalism and the greed it perpetuates altogether … What protesters should understand when addressing problems such as a shrinking middle class, highly skewed distribution of wealth and political system beholden to special interests — all serious problems that require real solutions — is that greed has absolutely nothing to do with them.

Sound Off Air fares aren’t fair

The airlines are at it again, hiking up fares for domestic flights in the United States, according to The Associated Press. The AP reports that many travelers may not feel the extra fees due to increasing sales by airlines during times when, historically, no one wants to travel.

There are reasons why some dates are more popular than others. People do not just decide to travel on a whim, especially not in times of economic hardship. They have family or work in a far away destination and cannot choose whether to fly on a Tuesday or a Thursday. They need to fly and will pay whatever price they must in order to get where they need to go when they need to.

Vacationing is becoming a thing of the past.

Families need to worry about other things besides how much more they need to pay for flights. According to the AP, the three airlines making these price hikes are Continental, Delta and United. Rediff.com lists Delta as the largest airline in the entire world. Ultimately, I sincerely hope that no other airlines follow these business titans into a price-hiking frenzy that Americans currently cannot survive.

Pro-life propaganda not welcome at universities I am writing in response to (the) “advertising supplement” issued in the Oct. 26th issue of the Daily Wildcat. I am one of many students outraged that such blatant propaganda would be presented in our school newspaper.

Several Planned Parenthood clinics have recently been closed throughout the state.

Arizona already has several strict laws in place meant to discourage young women from pursuing abortions including mandatory delays and biased counseling requirements. Doctors are given the right not to perform abortions if doing so goes against their personal moral code. What more do the pro-life groups want?

I took the time to check the sources used in this “advertising supplement.” Half of these sources were from academic journals and government documents, about 10 of them outdated by 20+ years. The other half of these sources were anecdotal or taken from nonprofit organizations, news articles, independently authored books and corporations. Less than half of the information in this “advertising supplement” actually holds any scientific weight. Here at the UA, students are taught to be critical thinkers.

I’m willing to call propaganda when I see it.

Despite depleted defense, confidence remains with team

By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

Momentum is a fickle thing.

It’s hard to come by and even harder to maintain, but as the Arizona football team heads to Seattle to face the Washington Huskies at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, it’s the only time this season that it has any semblance of it.

The 48-12 blowout of UCLA last week was more than just a win against an overrated opponent. It brought some form of life back to the Wildcat football program.

It was the first time since the NAU game that Juron Criner looked like one of the best wideouts in the country and it was the first time that the defense actually looked prepared to play.

The Wildcats showed something that we hadn’t seen all season — a will to win.

And they hope that they can carry that over to Saturday when they face the Huskies.

“We always knew that we had a great team,” Arizona safety Robert Golden said. “We never doubted ourselves, we just knew that we have to get it together.

“Last week was a step that we took to put this team together, but we still have a lot more steps and we’re taking them one day at a time.”

Freshman Ka’Deem Carey bounces outside against the UCLA defense last Thursday in Tucson. Carey will look to keep momentum as the Wildcats face Washington on Saturday.

Arizona will have a tougher challenge defensively this week as the Huskies offense is much more dynamic than the unreliable pistol style that the Bruins utilize.

Because of the high level of quarterbacks in the Pac-12,

Washington’s sophomore Keith Price often gets overlooked, but his ability to lead the offense is easily on par.

Price and his deep receiving core will look to take advantage of an inexperienced Arizona secondary,

as starters Shaquille Richardson and Jourdon Grandon will remain on the sidelines, suspended after the bench-clearing brawl seconds before halftime against UCLA. “Obviously (the suspensions weren’t) something that we were

counting on going in,” Kish said in a conference call on Tuesday. “We’ve had to move some people around a little bit in the back end with some guys that we do have, we’re not sure how that’s all going to fit together by Saturday, but we had to make some adjustments.”

The Wildcats were able to shake what was becoming a pass-exclusive type of offense and turn it into a balanced attack against the Bruins.

Arizona ran for a season-high 254 yards and three touchdowns, and according to Kish, most of the run game’s success was predicated on the efforts of the offensive line.

Despite the line having only one combined start before the season started, the coaching staff noted how vital its maturity is to the program.

“Right now, we told them they’re veterans, they’re not rookies anymore,” Kish said in his conference call. “They’re halfway through that season and how long that takes until they’re a well-oiled machine, who’s to say? I’m really pleased with the effort and really the gaining of confidence that they have during the course of the season this year.”

Center Kyle Quinn expects the line to keep up the pressure and remember the tenacity that it had last week.

“We played for each other, we came off the ball fast, and just reacted to what UCLA did,” he said after the UCLA game. “We really took it to them, it was a lot of fun.”

Washington running back Chris Polk poses a threat to Arizona’s defense that has struggled against the run

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Remember when the Wildcats couldn’t stop the run to save their lives?

When LaMichael James ripped off a program-best 288 rushing yards at Arizona Stadium? When Stanford’s Stepfan Taylor ran over the Wildcats for a career-high 153 yards?

When virtual unknown Oregon State back Jovan Stevenson went for a career-best 99 yards on 17 carries?

A week off followed by a coaching change and an impressive defensive performance against UCLA — 37 rushing yards on 25 carries — covered up Arizona’s defensive deficiencies for two weeks.

But the Wildcats won’t be able to hide their inability to stop the run this Saturday as they

take on one of the conference’s premier backs in Washington junior Chris Polk.

“He’s probably as strong and physical a back that we have in this league,” said UA interim head coach Tim Kish. “I think he’s a fantastic running back. Believe me, people bounce off him. He’s physical, hard running, has a great knack for having a hole. We haven’t really seen a back like him this year, to be honest with you.”

Outside of James, Polk is far and away the best running back Arizona will face all season.

Taylor overwhelmed Arizona with his power.

James ran past the Wildcats with his speed.

Oklahoma State running back Joseph Randle took advantage of gaping holes on his way to 121 yards and two touchdowns.

The Price is right: Sophomore quarterback among best in the nation as Arizona heads to Seattle to face the Huskies

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

Saturday won’t be an ideal time for Arizona to face the NCAA’s No. 6-rated quarterback in passing efficiency.

The Wildcat secondary is down two starters — cornerback Shaquille Richardson and nickel back Jourdon Grandon — and in the Pac-12 Conference, Husky quarterback Keith Price ranks only behind Stanford signal caller and Heisman trophy frontrunner Andrew Luck with an efficiency rating of 168.7.

Luck tops the league and ranks fifth in the nation with a rating of 180.

“I think the coaches up there would say he’s actually running the offense better than what (Jake) Locker did,” interim head coach Tim Kish said. “I’ve heard that comment made

several times.”

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound sophomore has thrown for 1,713 yards through seven games to go along with 22 touchdowns and just five interceptions in his first season as the full-time starter. Price started one game in 2010.

Price’s decision making is nearly flawless.

The closer the UW offense gets to the end zone, the better his numbers are. He completes 85 percent of his passes inside the 20-yard line, and 90 percent of his pass attempts from inside the 10-yard line for a Washington offense that ranks third in the Pac-12 in scoring, putting up 34.7 points per game.

“He’s having a tremendous year,” Kish said.

“He throws the ball well. He moves well in the

Loss isn’t cause for concern Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

f anyone needed a sign that they had unrealistic expectations for the Arizona basketball team and its four freshmen, they got it on Thursday night.

The Wildcats looked out of whack on offense, defense and everything in between. They turned the ball over nine times and shot just 39 percent in the first half.

Arizona got out-rebounded, 29-20, by a Seattle Pacific team that had nowhere near the athleticism or talent as the Wildcats.

Arizona’s centers, Kyryl Natyazhko and Sidiki Johnson, combined for two rebounds and the Wildcats missed nearly every clutch free throw — if there is such a thing in an exhibition — down the stretch of Thursday’s loss.

But for a team that lost its clear-

cut go-to player when Derrick Williams left for the NBA, we should have seen it coming.

“You could feel that we’re not a very good basketball team right now,” head coach Sean Miller said.

They’re not. Arizona is going to have four freshmen play significant roles on this year’s team. It’s missing what might be its second-best player in Kevin Parrom.

Maybe the two most important positions on the floor, point guard and center, are going to be manned by freshmen for significant chunks of time.

Evolving to the point of a good team is going to be a season-long process for this year’s Arizona basketball team, but it entered the season with expectations from the fan base that a deep NCAA

Tournament run would follow the one it went on last year.

“It’s gonna happen,” UA forward Solomon Hill said of the preseason expectations. “It’s nothing new. I don’t think anyone on the team’s mind is on future marks. It’s on the next game and going into practice. Just let the games come as they do.”

So while Thursday’s loss is going to stick out in the minds of Wildcat fans as a bad one, it wasn’t. Seattle Pacific is an experienced team while Arizona isn’t.

Arizona got better as the game progressed. Nick Johnson showed potential to be the go-to scorer that the Wildcats desperately need. And even though he was almost nonexistent on defense and rebounding, Natyazhko got to the rim and finished on two dunks.

It’s October. It’s all about getting better, even if it is in baby steps.

If there was something to be upset about after the game, Miller would have pinpointed it. But here’s the reality of it: It’s an exhibition against a veteran team.

All in all, Arizona is going to gain much more from a loss than a

blowout win.

“I wish I could say I would throw a bunch of things in the locker room and that our guys didn’t try,” Miller said. “We’re just not very good right now. We’re not.”

And that’s a realization that Arizona fans are going to need to come to at some point this season. The exhilaration from last March’s run through the NCAA Tournament is still fresh in everyone’s minds, and rightfully so. But to expect the same type of cohesiveness and production at this point in the season is silly.

Nobody likes losing, but there’s a point in time that it’s acceptable — and a preseason game against a quality team is one of those times, especially in the team’s first action against another school.

Now it’s time for Arizona fans to accept this team for what it is: A young group that’s going to get better — much better — between now and the end of the season, even if there are some growing pains.

For UA football, the mask comes off Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

O

n paper, the 2011 Wildcats are easy to read.

They’re a 2-5 football team that’s two losses from bowl elimination. For the better part of seven games, the Wildcats have been inconsistent defensively and on the ground, while Nick Foles’ right arm and Juron Criner’s hands remain their biggest strengths.

Perfect scouting report, right? Wrong.

To the untrained eye, this Arizona football team is tough to evaluate.

There’s so much more to the Wildcats’ season than statistics and game film will convey.

One thing is certain: When Washington head coach Steve Sarkisian steps to the podium for his post-game press conference this Saturday, he won’t quote former Arizona Cardinals coach Denny Green in saying “They are who we thought they were.”

Not even UA head coach Tim Kish knows Arizona’s identity.

Consider the stipulations. Arizona opened the season against three top-10 teams and four storied programs, endured a mid-season coaching change and eventually won an

emotionally-charged contest against a mediocre UCLA team.

It’s been a two-month roller coaster ride to put it lightly, and UA’s opponents, injuries and coaching change has blurred Arizona’s expectations moving forward.

Were the Wildcats realistically expected to beat Oregon, Stanford, Oklahoma State and USC? No. They were expected to compete much more than they did, but they can’t be judged on those games.

Then there was Oregon State. In Mike Stoops’ last game at Arizona, the Wildcats looked awful for 30 minutes, yet made things interesting late in the game.

That’s the game that got away, and one that the Wildcats will look at when they miss out on their first bowl game since 2007. But even that game can be viewed as a product of Stoops

Arizona XC teams expect to win at championships

By Emi Komiya Daily Wildcat

The Arizona cross-country teams expect wins this weekend at the Pac-12 Championships in Litchfield Park, Ariz., on Saturday. Head coach James Li believes men’s leader Lawi Lalang can win it all, and the No. 5-ranked women’s squad has a good chance to win as a team, with only No. 2 Washington ranked higher.

“Jen Bergman and Elvin Kibet on the women’s side have made tremendous improvement in breaking into the top tier of all levels of running,” Li said.

“And I really believe Lawi is in a class of his own. He should be able to go and do his best and take care of business.”

Arizona women’s cross-country jumped nine spots in the rankings since its last race in Wisconsin and will compete against other Pac-12 ranked teams. In the top 20 are No. 2 Washington, No. 8 Stanford, No. 10 Cal, No. 11 Oregon and No. 16 Colorado.

The men’s team will race against Pac-12 ranked teams including No. 4 Stanford, No. 6 Colorado, UCLA at No. 20, followed by Oregon, Washington State and ASU in the top 30.

“Pac-12 is known for its distance programs,” Li said.

“Both men and women’s sides will be loaded. You’re talking about half of the field at least are among the top 25 teams in the country.”

The Wildcats enter the championship portion of the season with the women’s team comfortably finishing in the top five in every meet this season and Lalang leading every race with a comfortable first place finishes.

“Last year we surprised everyone by being so close,” Bergman said. “So this year we know that we’re up there and we know we can go for it.”

Along with Kibet and Bergman, the women’s roster entered to race includes senior Hanna Henson, junior Elizabeth Apgar, sophomores Erin Menefee and Amanda Russell, and freshmen Haley Stenquist, Stephanie Bulder, Nicci Corbin, Clea Formaz, Kate Penney and Hanna Peterson.

coaching in his last game as his team fell apart at the seams.

Then Arizona bounced back against UCLA in about as complete of a game the Wildcats have played in the last year. But even in an impressive win, it’s hard to put a finger on this team. Arizona played with nothing to lose.

They got back to the fun of football and played as loose as ever. That combined with UCLA quarterback Kevin Prince and the Bruins’ predictable rushing attack resulted in the perfect storm for Arizona.

Saturday’s game against the Huskies is the first feeling of normalcy Arizona has had all season.

Unlike its first four FBS opponents, Arizona isn’t dating out of its league with Washington. Yes, the Huskies are 5-2 but they aren’t among the Pac-12 elite.

Keith Price is good, but he’s not Andrew Luck, Matt Barkley or Brandon Weeden. Husky receiver Jermaine Kearse is dangerous, but he’s no Justin Blackmon.

The mystique behind this Arizona team will fade after this weekend’s game. The Wildcats have finally gained some stability with Kish at the helm. They’ve inched farther away from the Stoops era and have had a full week of practices without questions about their former coach.

Are they as bad as their record suggests? Are they a product of a rough schedule and inexperience in key areas? This Halloween weekend, the costumes come off and we find out who the Wildcats really are.

But Polk is the total package — power, speed and agility.

“He’s got great vision and once he breaks through that hole, he’s a strong runner,” said secondary coach Ryan Walters. “He never lets one guy bring him down so we’ve got to do a good job bringing him down.”

The 5-foot-11, 222-pound bruiser leads the Pac-12, ranks seventh in the NCAA in rushing and is 128 yards away from his third consecutive 1,000-yard season.

He’s run for more than 100 yards in every game but one this season, and if he doesn’t get it done on the ground, Polk is an accomplished receiver. The Redlands, Calif., native ranks fourth in the conference in allpurpose yards and has two receiving touchdowns to his name as well.

Despite his physical style of running, Polk still leads the conference in carries with 149. If the Wildcats don’t wrap up, they’re in trouble against the Huskies workhorse.

“He’s a premier back in our

conference,” said senior cornerback Trevin Wade. “You’ve just got to gang tackle and not let him go.”

Robert Golden said former Stanford running back and current Minnesota Viking Toby Gerhart was the most physical, and arguably the best, back he’d ever faced.

But the senior safety admitted Polk is almost as powerful as Gerhart. Then add in breakaway speed and Polk becomes a defense’s worst nightmare. If Arizona’s front seven struggles like it did the first six games of the season, it could be a long night, and Polk will be on his way to his third straight 1,000-yard season only eight games into the season.

“It’s a good challenge for us. He’s a good running back,” said senior linebacker Paul Vassallo. “He runs hard and he’s got size but he doesn’t lack any speed, and I think he showed that last week. It’s hard to bring him down with one guy, so it’s going to be important for all of us to run to the ball.”

pocket. He doesn’t get himself in trouble. They have some real talent on that side of the ball.”

Price’s best numbers come in the fourth quarter, where he sports an efficiency rating of 210 and completes 78 percent of his passes.

Arizona safety Robert Golden also said Price is running the offense better than Locker did, but

that even though Price saw limited action against Arizona in the Wildcats’ 44-14 win a season ago, he’s nowhere near the same player now as he was then.

“He’s become a player of his own throughout this season,” Golden said.

“He’s been throwing the ball well.

He’s a good quarterback, we’ve just got to go out there and get after it.”

Previews Volleyball takes on Washington teams

Arizona volleyball has the opportunity to redefine its standing for postseason this weekend, playing Washington State tonight in Pullman, Wash., and No. 10 Washington in Seattle on Sunday.

Head coach Dave Rubio said the Wildcats (13-8, 5-7) need to continue to beat unranked teams like themselves, and then acquire another upset to a ranked team — like Washington, for instance.

That will help them punch a ticket into the NCAA tournament.

“I think of how competitive we’ve been in the matches that we’ve won and the ones that we’ve lost, and we’ve certainly demonstrated that we’re equal to anybody in this conference,” Rubio said.

“How does that translate into the prospects of postseason? Well, you still got to beat the teams you’re suppose to beat, and you hope you steal wins from the ones you’re not supposed to beat.”

This will be the Wildcats’ second meeting with both Washington teams. Last month, Arizona defeated Washington State and fell to Washington at home.

The Wildcats are coming off of a losing weekend to No. 5 Stanford and No. 2 California.

Rubio described the Cal match as a major setback in the team’s progress.

But Rubio knows his team can stay point for point with any team in the conference. It comes down to who can consistently execute, he said.

Hockey team hosts Texas for home opener After opening the season with seven straight road games, the No. 23 Arizona hockey team comes home to play its season opener tonight at 7:30 against ACHA Division II opponent Texas at the Tucson Convention Center.

The second of the two-game series will be

played on Saturday at 7:30.

The series against Texas will give the Wildcats a nice break from their grueling schedule at the start of the season. All seven of the opening games were against ranked opponents, including a road series at No. 4 ASU and one at No. 8 Iowa State. This tough stretch makes the team’s 2-4-1 record a little deceiving, especially since most of their defeats have been relatively close, with the exception of a 5-1 loss to No. 16 Oakland.

Texas offers a steep drop in competition for the Wildcats. The Longhorns currently hold a 2-8 record that includes two lopsided defeats, 16-0 and 13-0, at the hands of No. 7 Oklahoma, a team that will play Arizona later in the season.

The Wildcats have also been fairly successful at avoiding injuries this season, giving them no excuses against the lower division Texas.

The only significant injury so far was the loss of sophomore defenseman Michael Basist, who tore shoulder ligaments against ASU and is done for the year. ­— Kyle Johnson

Soccer faces Washington schools at home

The Arizona soccer team (1-13-2) is still looking for its second win of the season, and if it wants to end the season on a good note, now is the time. Starting today, the Wildcats begin a three-game home stand to end the season, facing Washington at 7 p.m. tonight and Washington State at 11 a.m. Sunday.

Junior defender Alex Smith said at this point the team is trying to prove that the record does not truly show the level of talent the team possesses.

“We need to just go out there and prove that we are a good team and that we just need to get results in these last three games and finish out the season strong,” Smith said.

Recap

Then there’s the Arizona freshmen. Shooting guard Nick Johnson looked as good as advertised, going for 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting and 3-of-5 from three.

“I think Nick played pretty well tonight,” Hill said. “He played great.”

But the rest of the freshmen, save Josiah Turner who scored seven points and dished out four dimes, looked months away from contributing immediately.

Sidiki Johnson, like Natyazhko, grabbed only one board and was ineffective defensively. He missed four point-blank shots and seemed fatigued in the first half. Johnson and Natyazhko were so ineffective that Miller said

he may consider playing Angelo Chol, who played only eight minutes, at the center spot.

As Miller said, Arizona’s a young team with its returning players in new roles. That showed Thursday night. The Wildcats have a long road ahead before they’ll be able to compete with the Pac-12.

“We had a lot of younger players making bad decisions. We weren’t very good. We just weren’t,” Miller said. “It’s scary to think that nine, 10 days from now we’re opening up and we’re playing two games in three days. We have to get a lot better to go from where we are tonight, to that period of time and we’ll work hard to do that.”

What was the drink there?

Four Long Island iced teas.

Very nice. Have you had the Scorpion from Kon Tiki?

I haven’t. I haven’t been to Kon Tiki yet, actually. I’m surprised.

Is going to Kon Tiki a goal of yours?

Oh, absolutely. I want to branch out past Fourth Avenue, and past The Moon and Congress and all that stuff, so yeah, I want to check out the rest of the bars in Tucson.

Hell yeah. Do you think public drunkenness is overrated or do you think it’s very fun?

It’s very fun, as long as you don’t damage anything or anyone, I really don’t see what’s so wrong about it. It’s just young kids out there making mistakes, living their life and learning, you know.

“Fantasy or Reality: Affordable and Open Access Textbooks” is the second lecture hosted by the University Libraries during its celebration of Open Access Week. The speaker is Nicole Allen, textbook advocate for the Student Public Interest Research Group and campaign director for Make Textbooks Affordable. Main LibraryRoom: A313/314
