UA ranks 34 in sex report; BRAVO Campus Health surprised funds
research abroad
By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA improved its national ranking in sex health services. The annual Trojan Sexual Health Report Card grades and ranks more than 140 universities on their sexual health and education resources. The UA ranks 34 this year, higher than UA’s number 70 ranking in 2009. Schools were given grades in 12 categories, ranging from condom availability to outreach programs. The UA received a 2.78 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale. “What we’re looking for and think is even more important is the information and resources offered to the students,” said Bert Sperling, president of Sperling’s BestPlaces, the independent research firm in charge of the study. Schools filled out forms about their services to submit to the study. Recent college graduates with the firm also navigated the schools’ website to judge usability. Lee Ann Hamilton, assistant director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services for Campus Health Service, said she did not know why the UA moved up significantly in the ranking. “We may have done a better job communicating all that we have to offer here,” Hamilton said. “That would be my guess, just more information conveyed better.” The UA received two “A’s” in the sexual assault programs and the anonymous advice categories. Hamilton and other employees write the SexTalk column found each week
By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Studying in Germany changed a student’s views on research. Molecular and cellular biology senior Cameron Lee was there for three months as part of a research and study abroad program. Biomedical Research Abroad: Vistas Open, known as BRAVO, funded his trip to do research at the University of Tübingen, in the city of the same name. He was still making sense out of his experience and the new lifestyle he grew accustomed to, having been interviewed 10 hours after his return. “It’s made me more focused as a researcher. They didn’t have time to do anything else during the day but research … They would work really hard, for nine or 10 hours a day, every single day, and they would not come in on the weekends. Whereas here, from the research friends I know, we all come in all the time. We’re always working.” As his first time traveling abroad, he was overwhelmed with the BRAVO, page 3

Water pumps out of the Student Recreation Center pool on Wednesday to drain it for resurfacing. UA Facilities Management is recycling the pool’s water to hydrate plants around campus, including the grass on the UA Mall.
By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The inside of the pool at the Student Recreation Center is being resurfaced, but the water won’t be going to waste. The pool closed on Nov. 1. On Tuesday, Facilities Management began draining the pool, filling a 5,000-gallon fire truck and then transporting that water to septic pumper trucks. Once the water is in the trucks, it is taken to various places around campus, including Bear Down Field, the UA Mall and Rincon Vista Fields

and Facilities to be recycled. To prepare the water for harvesting, the Rec Center stopped putting chlorine in the pool before the pool was drained. The pool is being redone “because it’s 20 years old and needs it. Everything has a life expectancy, and the time is at hand to do those repairs,” said Ron Roberts, senior business manager for Campus Recreation. Facilities Management is bringing in a contractor next week to begin resurfacing the pool. This week, they are focused on getting as much water as possible out of the pool.
FlashBack Friday special night at Sapphire Lounge, 61 E. Congress St., 10 p.m.
Facilities Management Director Chris Kopach estimates the pool holds about 250,000 gallons. To drain the pool, a fire truck will pump the water from the pool into the pumper trucks. “A lot of the times folks will get upset because … the water is just running off the street, but that’s not the case. We’re trying to be real proactive capturing it. You’re going to have some runoff, but that’s a lot water in that pool, and we’re going to try and capture as much as we can.” The Rec Center pool will reopen in the spring semester.

Another delay in funding halted movement on Sen. Taylor Bilby’s Tanzbodeli project in order to allow more time for a more strategic marketing plan at the ASUA Senate meeting on Wednesday. The mission of the music and art festival is to “to unite the entire U of A student body to increase awareness of student talent on campus, as well as to raise money to contribute toward a cure for cancer,” Bilby said. Bilby’s plan was to have donations and marketing revenues to pay for the event, and an estimated admission price of $20 would go straight to raising money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which donates 88 cents of every dollar donated to research. An initial request of $900 for shirts and art posters, as a trial run for the success of future marketing of the event and the event itself, held an eventual promise of asking for around $5,050 from the senate to put on the show. Senators expressed concerns about the initial requests’ timing and the proposed funding of the event in general. One concern was that the headliner band, estimated to cost $17,000 to bring to campus, would stretch the event too thin both on funds and on ASUA, page 3

News Tips

Pre-architecture sophomore How do you feel about techno music? I think it’s good. It’s good. It has a good beat to it. You can dance to it. How do you feel about raves? I’ve only been to one, and it was a little iffy. I just feel like a lot of people are really getting into raves and all that, especially our generation here at the UA. It’s kind of becoming this really popular phenomenon. I don’t really follow that popularity trend. I do my own thing. So you like to stray away from the crowd? Yeah, more like stay away from the raves. I’m not really into being all wild and that crazy hand stuff and the lights and all that goodies. How do you feel about neon? It’s good stuff. But I am really not into that. It’s so wild. I saw someone get hit in the face once, and I was like “I don’t want to be here.” When was the last time you got into a fistfight? About two years ago. We were shoving each other. Are you kind of over that phase? Is that like a maturity thing? I mean, you don’t really go in to a party thinking, “Hey I’m gonna kick someone’s ass,” but if someone is talking smack then it’s going down. For sure. So you said you are kind of feeling techno music. How do you feel about today’s music? Do you think its getting better or worse as time goes on? I think it’s getting better. With techno, I don’t really listen to it as much as I listen to Kanye or Kid Cudi, but it’s getting popular, and I like it. Have you heard of rap artist J. Cole? No, I’ve probably heard his songs, just didn’t know his name. You probably haven’t. He’s Drake’s favorite rapper. OK, then. I will download that. What would your first thought be when you found out that you won the lottery? Holy shit. I think I’d be pretty freaked out. My first thought would be a car, then a good, big house, call my parents, not going here anymore. Do you feel that you’ve done enough good things, karma-wise, in life to deserve winning all that money out of the clear blue? Yeah, I’m worthy. I’ve done a lot of good things. I have good moral values. Most of the time I’m a good person. I don’t know if anybody can say they are a good person all of the time, but I do some good things. — Caroline Nachazel

Ghost hunters planning Titanic mission A group of ghost hunters is planning a mission in order to see whether the spirits of the folks who drowned on the Titanic are still haunting the site of the wreck. In April, 20 paranormal researchers are planning a trip 960 miles off the coast of New York to the place where the ship sank in 1912 in hopes that they can scare up evidence of electronic voice phenomena, or EVP, proving the people who died left a psychic impression on the place. The wreck happened nearly 99 years ago, but researcher and self-taught Titanic expert William
Brower, who will go on the journey, believes he can find evidence the folks who died are still around in some capacity. “There is a working theory that areas of extreme trauma can imprint the actions and emotions,” said Brower, who has been studying the Titanic ever since he was 5 and saw a movie called “Raise the Titanic.” Matthew “Sandman” Kelley, a retired truck driver who is organizing the trip as part of a group called Society of DEAD (Direct Evidence After Death), says EVP can best be explained as the psychic version of
a photographic negative. Kelley believes the trip represents uncharted waters for the field of paranormal investigation, and, as such, the investigators plan some unorthodox ways of arousing the spirits. “We will recreate the atmosphere by eating the exact meal that was served the night the ship crashed, and we will play the same music heard that night,” he said. “But I want to make one thing clear: I don’t believe in any spirits. We are looking for residual impressions.” — AOL News

money raised for research. “In the past, ASUA has been criticized a little bit for trying to overreach, and adding a charitable aspect of the breast cancer thing on top of the idea of increasing awareness of student art and things like that on campus, do we need another cause?” said Associated Students of the University of Arizona Sen. Dominick San Angelo. Other senators also had reservations. “I would prefer to see an event that earns more money than is put into it, regardless of where the funding is coming from,” Sen.

language barrier, which was one of the hardest aspects of the experience. Lee traveled with practically no knowledge of the German language. Science work is done in English, he said. In the diverse lab he worked at, with French, Austrian, German, American and South African colleagues, everyone spoke English. “As soon as we left the lab to go to lunch or coffee they’d switch it,” he said. BRAVO requires students to work on a project abroad similar to the one they’ve done at the UA. Lee has been working since freshman year at a university lab with Frans Tax,an associate professor at the UA studying plant embryogenesis. In Germany, he focused more on biochemistry. Witnessing a different mindset applied to the same science was eye-opening for him. “They seem to be more community-minded towards making agents or chemicals for groups to use. Whereas here, in the States, it’s more like you make what you need
for yourself,” he said. At the UA, projects emphasize the learning process, focusing on a particular enigma. From now on, his work approach has changed, Lee said. “There’s gonna be more attention to detail and focusing on the overall goals of the research, which is eventually publishing a paper and completing a project,” he said. All expenses were paid by the program, including food and transportation. “Why (BRAVO) is so amazing is they completely fund you,” Lee said. Before he left for Germany, he had a plan of finishing college and starting his graduate degree right away as a researcher in biology. The major differences between societies left an impression. Priorities are different in the two countries. Now, after being immersed in a culture that is not as work-oriented, he said he’ll take his time. “Personally, I’ve learned to enjoy your life a little bit more,” he said.

‘F’ for student peer groups; officials say report a publicity tool
in the Arizona Daily Wildcat. Students can anonymously submit questions on any sex-related topic. “I think it provides a lot of good information,” Hamilton said. “There is a lot of information out there on the Internet, but this is something that’s written by professional educators.” Sperling said the category was one of the more “rigorous” in the study. “That’s something a lot of schools don’t have,” he said. The UA received an “F” in the student peer group category, which judged the availability of educational programs led by students. The Women’s Resource Center has a peer-to-peer program, Sex Ed, College Style, which is sponsored by
Campus Health. “I don’t think it is mentioned on our website,” Hamilton said in response to its absence from the study. Students trained by Planned Parenthood and Campus Health speak to people in residence halls and to clubs. They also host several presentations and trivia nights each year. “It’s kind of a full spectrum sexed,” said Jessica Whitson, a senior majoring in Spanish and student co-director for the Women’s Resource Center. “We try to make it a more active presentation.” The UA received “B’s” in categories for sexually transmitted infection testing and contraceptive availability. “We could rank higher if we gave
out condoms,” Hamilton said. “We frankly do not have the money to supply a campus of 37,000 people with free condoms, so we sell condoms at really low cost.” Hamilton said she regards the report as a publicity tool for Trojan. “I think that it’s good that they do it, but I always keep in mind that their main goal is to keep their name in front of the customer, not necessarily to do a peer-reviewed research study,” Hamilton said. She said the ranking helps Campus Health consider its offerings. “I think it does serve as a good reminder to say, ‘Hey, what are we doing? Can we do things better?’” Hamilton said. “It
always comes down to resources: staff, time and budget.” Some students said they were not aware of the services offered by Campus Health but see information on posters around campus. “I pay attention to them, but I just kind of brush it off eventually,” said pre-business freshman Elizabeth Cho. “I haven’t really needed to go there yet.” Campus Health is trying to reach students in new ways, most recently with its Facebook page. “While sex can be a wonderful thing, a lot of people put themselves at risk,” Hamilton said. “They can reduce those risks by getting education and being smart.”

I
care about Harry Potter about as much as anyone cares about when the new Justin Guarini album is coming out. However, with the pending release of the film version of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows,” even my impressive intellect has dedicated some significant grey matter toward cracking one of the most important mysteries of 2011: What will Harry Potter fans do once they have nothing to look forward to anymore? No more books. No more movies. No more “Grand Theft Auto”-inspired Xbox 360 games where the tutorial for your levitation spell is worked into helping Ron fold his laundry. I’m Sirius. This happened. To date, the Harry Potter books have sold more than 400 million copies since the release of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” Based on a huge assumption and some simple division, that puts us at about 57 million people all over the world who have spent the last 13 years of their lives obsessing equally over both the angst-driven drama and intense minutia of life at the magical high school. Two words, Gryffindors: What next? I’ve got some theories.
Tea Party trash-lands in AZ
Suicidal depression:
I’m not telling people who like Harry Potter to kill themselves. I’m just saying, there’s a good chance some of them probably will next year. Tons of people almost killed themselves after watching Avatar, according to an online CNN article from last January: “A user named Mike wrote on the fan Web site ‘Naviblue’ that he contemplated suicide after seeing the movie. “Ever since I went to see ‘Avatar’ I have been depressed. Watching the wonderful world of Pandora and all the Na’vi made me want to be one of them. I can’t stop thinking about all the things that happened in the film and all of the tears and shivers I got from it,” Mike posted. “I even contemplate suicide thinking that if I do it I will be rebirthed in a world similar to Pandora and the everything is the same as in ‘Avatar.’” And people love Harry Potter way more than they liked “Avatar.” How do we know that the release of “Harry Potter and the Deadly Hollowness in your Soul that Can’t Be Filled with New Harry Potter Movies” isn’t the only thing stemming the tide of an intense, suicidal depression that will sweep the world in 2012? I hear Avada Kedavra is a painless way to go. Just throwing that out there.
Keep feeding Rowling’s pop-culture juggernaut in exchange for fake books set in the Harry Potter world:
“Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” “Quidditch Through the Ages” and “The Tales of Beedle the Bard” pose a triple threat for Pot(ter) Heads. Not only do the books sort of blow and add nothing to the Harry Potter narrative-proper, but they are the prototypes of what I assume will be a long train of Harry Potter spin-off literature. Regardless of quality, they will set book sale records with every subsequent release. J.K. Rowling’s causes of choice (all proceeds from the spin-off literature are donated to charity) know better than anyone that Potter fans pleasure themselves to the thought of throwing money at anything remotely resembling a lightning bolt scar. But this seems like a meth addict scraping the good stuff from a broken chillum they find in a dumpster behind a Borders; it’s a bad high, and it just leaves you clawing for more. These kids are going to be fiending hard for a hit of the Hogwart after 2011, so keep an eye out for strung out 20-somethings wandering up and down Fourth Avenue in a meaningless existential daze. Well, OK. Look for even more people like that.
Go to the library:
Have you checked out “The Iliad”? No? What about “Crime and Punishment”? Could I interest you in some Hume, Austen or Keats? Not even some Twain? Oh, well, I guess you have only read the fourth book 13 times. Yeah, it was really sad when Cedric Diggory died. You know what, it’s cool, Harry Potter fans. I’ll just talk to you later.

riting about politics tends to inspire some angry reactions. But before you pelt me with garbage, please ensure it’s not from Fountain Hills, Ariz., as the Tea Party says that Fountain Hills’ new trash removal program reeks of out-ofcontrol government. As of 2008, Fountain Hills has 25,995 residents. Fountain Hills also has two Tea Party groups: the Fountain Hills Tea Party and the Fountain Hills Tea Party Patriots. Residents currently choose their own trash collector from a list of five, and there is no mandatory recycling program. Last week, the Fountain Hills Town Council agreed, 4-3, to a curbside recycling program and a contract with one trash hauler. Opponents made the decision out to be the illegitimate love child of socialism and Obamacare, dubbing it “trashcare.” According to The Arizona Republic, prior to the council’s decision, the Fountain Hills Tea Party posted an announcement on its website that read: “7 people will decide who will provide your trash

collection services and take away your ability to choose that on your own. If you don’t like government telling you what to do, show up at the meeting and voice your opposition. If it’s not broken, don’t let government try to fix it.” Fair enough. Government should not create solutions to nonexistent problems. People ought to live by the same creed, but it doesn’t really apply in this situation. The Tea Party isn’t offering a solution. Rather, it’s presenting antigovernment rhetoric designed to appeal to your inner rebellious teen. You’re not the boss of me. You can’t order me around. Who are you, my mother? Unfortunately, teens are rarely accused of being rational. The issue caused a nearly five-hourlong public hearing and council debate that lasted past midnight. After the decision, the Fountain Hills Tea Party posted an online memo called, “Talkin’ Trash,” in which it claimed the council members who voted against the action “voted to preserve your freedom.” Surprisingly, I didn’t notice my freedoms slipping away each time the

In reality, only about .00000005 percent of the sun’s total emitted energy is sent our way (5-8 percent). If what was meant is, “Only 49 percent of the sun’s energy directed at Earth actually reaches the surface,” the fact should have been worded as such; the meaning as written is completely different.

What the Tea Party does not mention in their defense of your right to choose who hauls away your garbage is the benefits of the program. ABC15 reported the decision would save an estimated $100,000 a year. The contract for the city is also aimed to cut down on pollution, noise and traffic. There is no limit to the lengths of ridiculousness the Tea Party will go to just to have something to be pissed off about. It’s not wrong to disagree with the government-made decisions. But the Tea Party’s trash-talkin’ is garbage. And not just because it produces a great deal of puns and wordplay. It distorts the line between asserting your voice in government and shouting just for the sake of being loud. And that smells rotten.

From ‘S.B. 1070 hearing emphasizes legitimacy of law’
It’s refreshing to see an opinion based in reality rather than full of hyperbole and straw men. More students of journalism should take a logic class, they may get their points across better, or even understand better why no one takes them seriously. Charles Patterson

Missing dogs can be frustrating
A man was arrested for disorderly conduct (unreasonable noise) on Tuesday at the UA Main Library. At 12:10 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the Main Library after receiving notice of a man yelling obscenities and spotted him on the north side of the library. When the man saw the officer, the man took off running westbound. Two other police officers caught him on the corner of Fourth Street and Vine Avenue. One of them asked the man for identification. After running a warrants check on that name, police noticed he had two outstanding warrants from the Arizona Department of Public Safety and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. The first officer went inside the Main Library and talked to a library staff member who reported the man. The staff member told police that the man had been in the Information Commons area yelling things like “motherfucker” and “fuck” multiple times. Another employee, who also had seen the man in the library, told police that she saw the man stand up from a computer near the entrance of the Information Commons and appear to yell at an “imaginary person.” She added that the obscenities he was screaming were not directed towards anyone but that his actions frightened her. After speaking to the two employees who witnessed the man’s strange behavior, the officer went to talk to the man. The man said that at about midnight he was sitting at a computer in the Information Commons looking for a missing dog. He said that he then became frustrated that he could not find his dog. Because of this frustration, he stood up and yelled inside the library. The man said he does not remember the things he yelled. He said he exited the Main Library, saw a UAPD officer approach and thought he was “probably in trouble” due to the fact he was yelling, so he began to walk away to avoid the officer. When they came to the intersection where the other officers were going to detain him, he decided to stop walking. Police transported the man to Pima Country Jail, where he was booked without incident.

‘Sturdy’ cable lock still not good enough
A motorized bicycle was stolen from the Main Library sometime between 8 p.m. on Monday and 7:45 a.m. the next morning. The owner reported that he had last seen his bicycle when he came out of the Main Library on Monday at 8 p.m. He noticed that the back tire was flat, and his bicycle was no longer able to work. He did not have an air pump or money to inflate the tire, so he decided to leave it overnight. When he returned on Tuesday at 7:45 a.m., the bicycle was gone. He told police he had locked the bicycle with a sturdy cable lock and a heavyduty carbon lock that was wrapped around the frame and both tires. He said the serial number for both the bicycle and the motor were not available.

Wildcats try to bounce back Staff Picks Tim Kosch: Arizona 27, USC 21 Wildcats fall behind early but a Nick Folesled fourth-quarter comeback gives them the win. Mike Schmitz: Arizona 35, USC 24 Nick Foles, Ricky Elmore and Brooks Reed all have bounce-back weeks. Nicole Dimtsios: Arizona 35, USC 28 Offense gets back on track by scoring early and often.
Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Junior quarterback Nick Foles and the rest of the Arizona offense struggled in their 42-17 loss to Stanford last Saturday. Foles and the Wildcats will try to right the ship tomorrow when they take on Southern California at Arizona Stadium.
By Nicole Dimstios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Bouncing back is something the No. 18 Arizona Wildcats weren’t used to this season. But that was before a 42-17 defeat at the hands of Stanford crushed Arizona’s realistic Rose Bowl chances. “It will be nice to be at home. Being two games behind is going to be tough,” said head coach Mike Stoops after Arizona’s loss at Stanford. “We’re just worried about USC and try to play better.” The Wildcats will have to find some other motivation than just the Rose Bowl as they welcome the Southern California Trojans this weekend. Recently, the matchups between USC and Arizona (7-2, 4-2 Pacific 10 Conference) have gone down to the wire, including last year’s 2117 victory over the Trojans in the Coliseum — Stoops’ first-ever victory over the Trojans — and 2008’s nail bitter that saw Arizona fall just short at home.
W-Hoops opens at Wichita St. By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona women’s basketball team will finally get to display its new high-octane offense in a game that counts tonight when the Wildcats travel to Kansas to take on Wichita State University. “This is a big game for us, our first game on the road, and it’s going to be in a hostile environment,” said Arizona head coach Niya Butts. “We’re going to play a young, hungry team, so we’ve got to go in there with the focus to win. I think we’re ready.” The Wildcats are coming into the 2010-2011 season with a chip on their shoulders, looking to make a statement that the last few years have been nothing but a bump in the road for Arizona women’s basketball. “(The players) are excited about the opportunity to start something new,” Butts said. “To get that name out there, to prove to everybody that we can be the team that we think we can be. We’re looking forward to it.” The team that Arizona thinks it can be is one that pushes the tempo and forces the opponent to play at the Wildcats’ pace. Freshman Candice Warthen, alongside junior Shanita Arnold, is one of the two guards that will be asked to run the offense. Turnovers have been a problem through the first two exhibition games, and cutting down on those is key to Arizona’s success. “I’ve had some trouble trying to figure it out,” Warthen said. “I have to W-HOOPS, page 9
While not the dominant team in the Pac-10 for the first time in nearly a decade, USC’s offense hasn’t fallen off the radar. The Trojans boast the third best offense in the Pac-10, with 40 touchdowns on the season — six more than Arizona — and average 470 yards per game. While the Wildcats’ defense came back down to earth last weekend, linebacker Paul Vassallo doesn’t think Arizona will roll over this week at home. “The season’s not over,” Vassallo said. “We still have three games. We’re still a very good team, and we need to play that way.” There will be no off week for the Wildcats’ defense that was torched for over 500 yards against Stanford. USC quarterback Matt Barkley has 24 touchdowns on the season, and the sophomore is third in passing average and efficiency in the conference. He is fourth in total offense in the conference with an average 260.2 yards per game. While USC has found success through the
air, its defense has had a tough time stopping opponents’ vertical attacks. The Trojans rank last in the Pac-10 in pass defense, giving up 22 passing touchdowns and an average 276.4 yards per game. The offense and Nick Foles will have to find their footing at home after struggling on the road. Co-offensive coordinator Seth Littrell said that cutting down on offensive mistakes was something that would be important to rebounding at home this week. “We have to cut down on mistakes, penalties, turnovers in the red zone,” Littrell said. The Trojans are still trying to assert themselves among the best in the Pac-10, and the Wildcats need to rediscover their winning ways at home in its last Saturday game of the season. “We’re going (to play) like everything is still on the line,” said cornerback Robert Golden. “You never know what might happen down the line so we’re going to … try to get after it.”
Heated rivalry
renewed By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Feeling confident after its win last week, the Arizona swim teams travel to Los Angeles this weekend to compete with two of the state’s top teams in UCLA and Southern California. While both the No. 5 men’s and No. 7 women’s teams are excited for the road trip, the men are particularly motivated. “At USC, we really just want to go to their pool and beat up on them,” said freshman Thomas Gutman. “It has been a really long time since we’ve won at their pool. We usually smoke them here, so hopefully we can change that.” Gutman is looking to break the losing cycle with the help of the team’s sprinters. “We have so many good sprinters on this team alone that we just need to learn from each other and go out and compete,” Gutman said. According to assistant coach Augie Busch, the Wildcats lost to No. 14 USC at their pool two years ago but redeemed themselves at home last year. Busch remains levelheaded about the Trojans — they shouldn’t be taken lightly. “USC, their women’s team is probably as good as ours, and their men’s aren’t quite as strong as ours,” Busch said. “But that doesn’t mean they might beat us this weekend.” Considering UCLA doesn’t have a men’s program, the men will compete with USC today in a traditional meet and then tomorrow in some extraneous races, which will serve as additional practice. The women will take on the No. 6 Trojans today before visiting the No. 24 Bruins on Saturday. Despite the quick turnaround between two challenging teams, Busch doesn’t believe his team will struggle in day two. “It’s actually really good because Pac-10 and NCAAs are all three and four-day meets, so learning to race on back-to-back days is pretty critical,” Busch said. “Dual meet season kind of gives us a chance to do that.”
Hoops wants to start season big 7-foot junior Alex Jacobson will play key role in 2010-11 By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Last season, the idea of Arizona having having a prototypical big-man in the regular rotation was a gaze into the distant future. Standout freshman Derrick Williams was forced to play out of position due to lack of depth on the front line. Despite Williams having one of the best freshman seasons in the nation while playing in the post, the Wildcats were still in need of a true big-man. As Arizona officially starts its season at McKale Center against Idaho State on Sunday, the future may be closer than expected. In the weeks leading up to the season, head coach
ARIZONA VS. IDAHO STATE McKale Center Sunday 3 p.m.
Sean Miller has constantly spoken about the roles that 7-foot junior Alex Jacobson and 6-foot-11 sophomore Kyryl Natyazhko could potentially play on this season’s team. “The combination of Kyryl (Natyazhko) and Alex (Jacobson), although they’re different players in some regards and at different stages in their career, really give the same thing in a positive way,” Miller said. “Both guys know who they are. Both guys really open scoring opportunities for their teammates by setting screens. “They know what to do. They’re big around the basket,” he added. “It’s not as easy to score near the basket when they’re in there. If Derrick (Williams) is at the four while they’re at the five, it makes us a more legitimate, physically bigger team.” Despite overall productive offseasons, both have HOOPS, page 8

Junior Alex Jacobson saw limited playing time in his first two years as a Wildcat, but head coach Sean Miller hopes that the 7-footer will contribute this year. Arizona opens the season on Sunday against Idaho State.

V-ball roadtrip a return home for six Wildcats Arizona to square off against UCLA, USC
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The No. 20 Arizona volleyball team travels to California this weekend to take on No. 6 Southern California and No. 10 UCLA . A trip to the bright lights of “La La Land� might sound like a vacation to most, but for the Wildcats it’s more of a homecoming. “I’m from (Los Angeles), so I’m really excited for this weekend,� said outside hitter Cursty Jackson. “Half of the team is from there, so to play in front of our families and to try and get that win — it’ll be great.� Jackson, along with five other Wildcats, hails from the greater Los Angeles area. Even though those players get a chance to see friends and family this weekend, Jackson doesn’t see that being a distraction. “I think (going home) is actually a good thing,� she said. “It puts people in good moods and ready to work hard and win, you know? If you’re playing in front of all of your family, I’m thinking you’ll do a little better.� Getting a chance to go home might not be the only factor in Arizona’s play this weekend. The Wildcats (18-7, 7-5 Pacific 10 Conference) are coming off a sweep of both Oregon schools in McKale Center, their current home, last weekend. “I would say it was one of our better weekends,� said middleblocker Courtney Karst. “We’re not making as many errors as a team. Serving errors are coming down, which really helps us out, and our hitters are making

Cursty Jackson, No. 13, a native of Los Angeles along with five other Wildcats, will play in front of a hometown crowd when Arizona travels to play Southern California and UCLA. The Wildcats lost to both schools 3-2 earlier this season.
better decisions. We’re pretty excited about this weekend. We know we have a chance to come out, hopefully, with a sweep.� Revenge might also play a factor for Arizona this weekend . In the SoCal schools’ trip to McKale this season, both matches went five set s — including the UCLA (17-7, 7-6 Pac-10) match in which Arizona let a 2-1 lead slip out of its grasp. “The complexion of every match changes. It’s really unpredictable in that way,� said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio. “It was agonizing to lose those matches, but that doesn’t hold much meaning to me about what’s going to happen the second round.�
Even though Rubio doesn’t much believe in the revenge factor in helping his team, he is pleased with where UA is at this point in the season. “I like where we’re at. I think we played some of our best volleyball of the year last weekend,� he said. “I feel like we can still get better, but it’s just small things now. If we can just take care of some of those, it’ll have a big impact for us.� Arizona will take on USC tonight, followed by UCLA on Saturday. The Wildcats will play their final homestand of the year next weekend when the Washington schools head to Tucson .

Strong scrimmage boosts Jacobson’s playing chances
continued from page 6
been struggling with minor injuries. Jacobson has battled reoccurring back spasms, while Natyazhko recently missed the team’s first exhibition game after suffering a concussion in practice. Wednesday was one of the first days the two got a chance to play against each other, giving both players a chance to see someone of their size in practice. “It’s nice to have someone your size in there because little guys just go after your knees,� Jacobson joked. The two being back in practice finally give Miller a better idea of how to rotate both players in and out of the game. “That’s to be worked out,� Miller said. “The reason is that they haven’t practiced together much. When Kyryl (Natyazhko) was practicing, Alex (Jacobson) wasn’t, and when Alex came back Kyryl didn’t practice.� Jacobson, one of the few leftovers from the Lute Olson era, has had an unspectacular yet steady career at Arizona. The junior has never been known for shot blocking or thunderous dunks but has found his niche after seeing minimal game action. “I’m fine with it,� Jacobson said of receiving spot minutes, which may be his role on the team this year as well. “It’s pretty much what I expected from the season.� The big-man’s willingness to accept his role on the team is why he has gained the respect of his coach. “Alex (Jacobson’s) play was one of the bright spots to last weekend’s exhibition game,� Miller said. “He knows his role. He doesn’t try to be anything that he isn’t.�

Miller signs three 2011 recruits Sean Miller officially signed his 2011 recruiting class Wednesday, inking forward Sidiki Johnson and guards Josiah Turner and Nick Johnson. Turner, a 6-foot-3 pure point guard from Sacramento, Calif., is the 10th overall prospect in the country. The 6-foot-8, 220 pound Sidiki Johnson is ranked the 11th best power forward in the nation, according to Rivals.com, while the 6-foot-2, 180 pound Nick Johnson is the No. 8 shooting guard in the country. Nick Johnson played the last two years at Findlay Prep in Nevada. Though he hails from Gilbert, Ariz., Sidiki Johnson plays at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia but is originally from the Bronx, N.Y.
2011-12 schedule released
Arizona basketball will face out-of-conference games against San Diego State, Florida and Gonzaga in 2011-12, and will play at the Coaches vs. Cancer Tournament in New York City on Nov. 18-19, 2011. The Wildcats will open at home with two Coaches vs. Cancer games in McKale Center between Nov. 7-10, 2011. All of the Coaches vs. Cancer game opponents have yet to be scheduled. With the new Pac-12 schedule, Arizona will only miss a road series against the Oregon schools and will debut its series with Utah and Colorado. — Kevin Zimmerman

Butts eager to test new offense in first game of season
learn all this, because in high school I basically did what I wanted to do, and I ran everything. But here, there are several leaders, and I’m just trying to fit in where I can.” Arizona scored 90 and 109 points in its two exhibition games, but Butts is stressing that the offensive success may not be what it seems. “It’s definitely fool’s gold,” Butts said. “I know that offensively, you’re not going to play like that every night, and so we have to play like defense is going to win games and not offense. As players, you might think ‘we can outscore the other team,’ so maybe in their minds there’s less of a focus on defense.” Junior Taylor Dalrymple, a transfer from Gulf Coast Community College, will be suited up for Arizona tonight, along with everyone else on the roster. Dalrymple didn’t play in Arizona’s second exhibition because of a coaches’ decision. Guard Reiko Thomas is doubtful following offseason ankle surgery, but she is also making the trip to Wichita. “Who knows, Reiko (Thomas) may even get out there, but I doubt it,” Butts said. “She’s looking better and better, and we feel good about her progress, but we don’t want to rush that along.”
Freshman Candice Warthen will combine with junior Shanita Arnold to run the point in Arizona’s new style of offense. Both players are competing to replace twoyear starter Ashley Frazier. Tim Glass/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

XC looking for national bid By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA cross-country teams are looking for at least a second place finish at this weekend’s meet in Eugene, Ore., to ensure a spot at nationals in Indiana. At the Pacific 10 Conference championships, the women’s team was able to secure second place, beating out No. 2 Oregon but falling behind Stanford. The Wildcats will have to compete against both schools again tomorrow. “I think we are looking pretty good. We’ve had some good practices,” said head coach James Li. “We had a couple minor illnesses, flu, cold, things like that. I think we are getting over that, and hopefully it
won’t impact us too much.” Weather will also be a concern for the teams. The predicted temperature in Eugene is in the 40s this weekend with scattered showers. Stephen Sambu has noticed the immediate weather change that the team faces when it leaves the desert. “It is getting a lot colder, but that doesn’t matter when we run,” Sambu said. “No problem when we have to warm up.” Assistant coach Erin Dawson loves the bad weather. “Cold weather, rain, mud, that is what makes cross-country. That’s what it’s all about.” Despite what transpired a few weeks ago, Li was adamant that the team is not looking to redeem themselves or settle a score against Stanford after the
Pac-10 championship. “We try to do the best job that we can do. We have made some tremendous improvements this year,” Li said. “I think the performance there gave us some confidence. Just the fact of knowing we can be competitive against those teams, that we can run well against some of the top competition in the country, well, that is pretty good.” While the men’s team needs a high finish for the weekend, the women’s team is likely to receive an at-large bid. “For the men, as we have always said, we just want to go there and have a good race,” Li said. “Realistically, we are not going there looking to make it to nationals. For the women, really there is only one goal, and that is to go there and make it to nationals.”
