Prof awarded for teaching ability, work appreciation BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Albrecht Classen almost cried when he learned he won the 2012 Professor of the Year award for the state of Arizona, but the Germanborn German Studies professor is no stranger to recognition for his work.

Awards line the walls of Classen’s office and help serve as a testament to the appreciation for his work and teaching ability. This week, Classen will receive three additional honors to add to the wall.

On Wednesday, Classen will be inducted as an honorary member of the Golden Key International Honour Society. Later this week,

he’ll also receive an award known as “Friend of German” from the American Association of Teachers of German.

The Friend of German award “recognizes outstanding support for and promotion of German and the study of German at the local, regional, or national level,” according to the association’s website.

Probably most significant is the fact that this week Classen will receive an award for U.S. Professor of the Year for 2012 in Arizona from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. When he found out he won, he said he felt moved.

JORDIN O’CONNOR/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ROAD WORK FOR THE SUN LINK MODERN STREETCAR has expanded to the intersection at Park Avenue and University Boulevard. Work at the intersection will keep it closed until February, with the exception of Nov. 22 to Nov. 26, when it will open temporarily for Thanksgiving.

Construction moves to Park and University STEPHANIE CASANOVA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Despite Park Avenue’s closure from University Boulevard to Second Street, business owners near the intersection say they’re not worried about losing too much business.

Holiday events and having students constantly walking nearby will help businesses maintain sales, said Ashia Flores, assistant manager of American Apparel on University Boulevard.

“We’re lucky enough to be by the university where students are going to want to get out regardless,” Flores said. “I think they’ll keep coming here regardless of the construction.”

Park Avenue closed Monday and will remain closed until Thanksgiving weekend. The street will re-open from Nov. 22 to Nov. 25 for the football game against Arizona State University and throughout the holiday weekend.

Park Avenue will close on Nov. 26 and remain closed until February, according to Jesse Gutierrez, streetcar construction manager.

“There’s a lot of stuff we can do from here until the ASU game so we might as well get in there and do it,” Gutierrez said.

The contractor has started working on replacing, upgrading and relocating utilities on Park Avenue between University Boulevard and Second Street.

Utility companies are taking advantage of the road being torn

up to make improvements to utilities, something that will be more difficult to do once streetcar tracks are installed.

“If somebody goes to try to install a water line two years from now they’re going to have to go underneath the tracks, and the streetcar is running, and that’s almost impossible to do,” Gutierrez said. “Some are still under the streetcar route but they last 100 years, so it won’t be an issue.”

Gutierrez said construction is a month ahead of schedule in some parts of the university and Fourth Avenue. In the original schedule, the Mountain Avenue and Second Street was supposed to be worked on during winter break, he added.

Health care faces funding hurdles, WORTH NOTING says AZ governor’s policy adviser This day in history

RACHEL MCCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

Due to steep budget cuts, Arizona faces challenges funding its health care system, according to Gov. Jan Brewer’s chief health adviser.

Don Hughes, Brewer’s health care policy adviser, delivered a lecture hosted by the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health to kick off Natural Rural Health Week.

During the lecture, he described challenges Arizona will encounter with the expiration of the temporary one-cent sales tax created by Proposition 100. The tax, set to expire in May, funds education, public safety and health and human services.

The Affordable Care Act expanded the coverage for Medicaid, and the national system is estimated to grow by

about 16 million benefactiaries.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled that states can voluntarily issue the expansion. Arizona opted to expand early on, hurting the state’s funding, Hughes said.

Arizona will incur a cost of about $1.5 billion over the next four years, he added. To offset these costs, the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System — the state Medicaid system — froze enrollment in the program to save $500 million.

The program also created the Safety Net Care Pool, which uses local dollars to cover uncompensated hospital costs that totaled $332 million. This measure is set to expire in January 2014. A waiver implemented mandatory copays and now allows more elderly individuals to receive care at home than any other state.

But if legislation is not passed to continue these measures,

Hughes said, 50,000 to 60,000 Arizonans will lose their health care coverage.

For the future of Arizona health care, Hughes said Arizona is working on various measures to help people.

Arizona has a highly competitive insurance market, said Hughes.

“Alabama, for example, their BlueCross BlueShield program has about 80 percent of their market share; that’s not really competitive,” Hughes said. “In Arizona … if you want coverage there is a company that is more than likely to cover you.”

Arizona has submitted a benchmark plan to the federal government, which had to meet several requirements, such as what services of the statutory service categories — like hospitalization and maternity services — would be offered.

The state of Arizona has received federal grants for the funding of its planning, design and start-up costs through Dec. 31, 2014. Arizona also gets to choose who funds them, the number of insurers, the eligibility requirements for AHCCCS and the benefits that are available for the plan.

If approved, coverage would begin in January of 2014.

“We’re done already [with that intersection],” Gutierrez said. “So it’s looking good. I think we’re in good shape.”

The Warren Avenue underpass, which the contractor began working on at the end of July, will remain closed through the end of spring semester. The contractor still has a lot of work to do, mostly excavating and removing everything underneath in order to install the rail, according to Gutierrez.

Bill Davidson, public information and marketing manager of UA Parking and Transportation Services, said he continues to attend weekly meetings to keep up with the construction schedule and share current information with the UA community.

Feedback from the community has decreased recently, according to Davidson, who said people

“I think people understand the process now and have a better understanding of what to expect,” Davidson said. “We’re trying to do our best to communicate accurate information to the campus as soon as we know it.”

Moni Miller, owner of Cry Baby Couture on University Boulevard, said that the unique nature of University Boulevard keeps people coming. People coming home for the holidays, visiting the University, attending events at Centennial Hall, or going holiday shopping keep businesses on University Boulevard from being affected by construction, she added.

“Centennial Hall … it floods this place with people,” Miller said.

The Tucson Modern Streetcar Project construction was slated to last 475 days. Now 237 days into the project, Gutierrez said construction is about 50 percent complete.

The U.S. Professor of the Year award is for “the most outstanding undergraduate instructors in the country,” according to the main website.

Classen said he cannot attend the ceremonies to receive the awards because of lack of funding but that he also wants to be available for students in his classes and at the study abroad fair, where he will advertise his study abroad program.

“I cannot just quit my teaching,” Classen said. “As much as I would have loved to go there, my students really come first.”

Classen’s desire to serve students and enter the field of teaching hit him when he was about 14 years old. At that time, he was already passionate about literature and critical readings. When he was younger, he told himself, “It doesn’t matter what will happen later, I just need to do this.”

“If you’re passionate, you move mountains,” Classen added.

“Everyone has some passion … just do it. But don’t do it 80 percent, do it 150 percent.”

Classen said his father was a high school teacher and that even after he retired, his students would still come to visit him, which pushed Classen to adopt a similar relationship with his students.

Jury rules for bartender in police assault MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

CHICAGO—A federal jury Tuesday found in favor of a female bartender who was beaten by an off-duty Chicago police officer in a notorious 2007 attack captured on security cameras.

The jury awarded the bartender, Karolina Obrycka, $850,000 in compensatory damages against the city. Obrycka’s lawyers contended a code of silence protected Anthony Abbate from punishment until the damning videotape was made public.

The trial in federal court comes nearly six years after Abbate attacked Obrycka at Jesse’s Short Stop Inn when he went behind the bar.

Concerned by the police inaction, Obrycka’s lawyers released a video of the beating weeks later, causing a firestorm of criticism of the department and leading to charges against Abbate being upgraded to felonies.

The veteran officer was later convicted of aggravated battery but spared prison. He was then fired by the department.

The eight-woman, three-man jury found that Abbate was part of the conspiracy to cover up the beating and that the police department had a widespread code of silence that emboldened Abbate to beat up Obrycka.

Jurors held the city and Abbate responsible but didn’t assess any damages against Abbate personally.

The videotape of Abbate pummeling a woman about half his size marked one of the most embarrassing chapters in recent Chicago Police Department history and contributed to the resignation of then-Superintendent Philip

Cline.

Fearful that the department would not discipline Abbate, Obrycka’s lawyers have said they released the videotape to the news media, causing an Internet sensation with the graphic images.

The verdict in the high-stakes trial came after two days of deliberations and a complicated, lengthy trial that saw more than three dozen witnesses offer contradictory and colorful testimony about the beating in Jesse’s Short Stop Inn on the Northwest Side.

At the center of the trial was the allegation that a long-standing code of silence protects officers who use excessive force or engage in other misconduct. As a result, Obrycka’s lawyers maintained that Abbate acted with impunity in the bar because he was unafraid of consequences, the result of the blue wall of silence as well as department’s history of ineffective discipline action against wayward officers.

Just days after the tavern owner installed security cameras, Abbate went into a rage when Obrycka tried to prevent him from coming behind the bar. Abbate, who testified he was drunk after downing multiple alcoholic drinks and shots, tossed Obrycka to the floor and then wailed away at her with his fists and feet.

“Nobody tells me what to do,” Abbate was heard proclaiming on the videotape repeatedly played in court during the three-week trial.

City attorneys argued that Abbate’s actions were simply the result of his being so drunk. He was too intoxicated to think a code of silence would protect him, they said.

biggest challenge is not too little free time but instead too little funding for all the activities he wants to do.

“It’s difficult in my field, we don’t have really easy access to grants,” Classen said. “My college doesn’t have that money. I want to do so many things … it holds me down.”

Despite the challenges he faces, Classen stressed his love for the department. He said it is a very congenial department and “maybe one of the best on campus.”

“I love my colleagues, they’re great,” Classen added. “We help each other, we understand each other. We have our own specialties, but we all believe in the same thing.”

Classen has taught at the university for 25 years and has been a visiting professor in Finland, Poland, South Korea, Germany, Italy and Spain, and has also traveled with students to a variety of locations.

When Classen talked about what it takes to become a professor, he cited the need for endurance and tolerance for rejection.

“You have to constantly take hits,” Classen said. “But it doesn’t matter how many hits you get, it matters how you take them. You need to have the ability and the interest and motivation to put in long hours. It doesn’t come easily.”

of German studies, Classen said he constantly sees students, but that there is never a line. He said students can visit him whenever they like.

“I try to give them a sense that they’re just welcome,” Classen said. “They’re not just numbers, they don’t have to stand in line … they can come whenever they need to see me.”

Classen’s colleagues who have seen his work with students haved commented on the strong relationships he establishes.

“I’ve noticed with students who come to the talks given by him, and from what I’ve heard of students who have been in his classes, that what they really appreciate is that they feel like they’re a part of something instead of just being lectured to,” said Chantelle Warner, an assistant professor of German studies.

Some of the students who work with Classen commented on his open-door policy and his interaction with students.

“He is amazing when it comes to interaction with students,” said Christina Butler, a master’s student in German studies and Classen’s mentee. “Even in his 300-level course he makes it a point to learn their names … which I am floored by.”

Although he has his hands full as adviser to the German Student Club, adviser for the German Honors society and as a faculty fellow, to name a few, Classen’s

General swept up in Patraeus case MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Congress returned from its election break Tuesday to grapple with the shocking resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus in a sex scandal that widened to possibly taint the Marine general who commands U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan.

The unexpected turn of events prompted President Barack Obama to put on hold his nomination of Marine Gen. John Allen to be the top NATO commander in Europe, pending the outcome of a Pentagon investigation into “inappropriate” emails that U.S. defense officials said Allen had sent to a central

figure in the scandal, which was ignited by Petraeus’ admission to an extramarital affair.

Allen’s connection to the scandal became known on Tuesday after Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced while flying to Asia that he’d asked the Pentagon inspector general’s office to investigate the emails between the four-star Marine general and Kelley.

Kelley had been an honorary ambassador to the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, where Allen served as second in command before his June 2011 promotion to oversee the war in Afghanistan.

Army Lt. Col. T.J. Taylor, a CENTCOM spokesman, said that Kelley had no official position at

the command.

“She is a volunteer and a private citizen, not an employee,” he said.

“Because of this, and because there is an ongoing investigation, we have no additional information to provide.”

The contents of those emails were not revealed, although a Pentagon official briefed on them said they contained possibly flirtatious language, such terms as “sweetheart,” which he noted could also have been a sign of a casual manner of address. The official requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.

An FBI investigation uncovered Petraeus’ affair with his biographer,

Thais divided on lottery plan

Hunter arrested for killing rare tiger

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

BANGKOK, Thailand — Siripong Khwanthong sidles up to a lottery seller along a crowded street near Bangkok’s Patpong pleasure district, studies the selection and settles on a ticket ending in 37.

“The number just came to me,” he says. “Maybe I’ll be lucky tomorrow.”

If the government has its way, Siripong soon will be buying lottery tickets from machines. And that’s fine with him: Not only would it be more convenient, but it also could save money by cutting out the surcharge that street vendors command selling “lucky” numbers, which can add as much as 50 percent to the $2.70 ticket price.

But Nipon Sasananand, a 67-yearold with a sprained wrist selling Siripong the ticket from a portable wooden case, strongly opposes the idea.

“The machines would be cheaper for customers, so they might not buy from us and we could lose our jobs,” he says. “I’m afraid.”

The state argues that the machines would reduce overcharging by street vendors and increase state revenue by expanding the market for lowerpriced tickets and reducing illegal gambling. Critics counter that it will weaken family values and undermine the social order.

The government lottery board hopes that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of machines will start disgorging tickets on the street and in shops

by January.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MOSCOW — A hunter in Russia’s far east was sentenced Tuesday to 18 months of community service and fined about $18,500 for killing a Siberian tiger, a rare case in this country of punishment for poaching the endangered animal.

Khasan District Court found Alexander Belyayev guilty of killing one of the remaining 500 tigers in the Maritime and Khabarovsk territories.

Ecologists hailed the verdict as a success in the struggle to protect the species. An estimated 30 to 50 tigers are killed each year by poachers and residents, said Vladimir Krever, head of the World Wildlife Fund’s Russian biodiversity program.

“Of dozens of cases related to tiger killings over the last three years, this is the second guilty verdict, and such a harsh one that leaves us a hope that it may serve as a good lesson to potential poachers,” Krever said.

“Usually tigers’ skins and remains are found already in transit and not at the killing spot,” he noted, “and a person caught with the remains, as a rule, says that he found the dead tiger in the taiga or on the side of the road and gets off free.”

Between the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 and 2009 only one person was found guilty of killing a tiger.

Belyayev, who was accused in October 2010, insisted he acted in self-defense, showing authorities his own light injuries.

Investigators concluded that Belyayev spotted a tiger while hunting antelope and shot it twice, injuring two paws. He followed the fleeing animal and shot it three more times. At that point, authorities said, the tiger charged the hunter and injured him, causing Belyayev to run for home.

Hunting inspectors discovered the animal after it had bled to death.

Krever said Siberian tigers are usually killed by poachers for their skin, meat and internal organs, with portions of the animal used in traditional Chinese medicine.

“Poachers could get several thousand dollars for a tiger body if they could smuggle it to China, which is also becoming increasingly difficult these days,” he said, adding that the fine given Belyayev might help discourage hunters.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LOTTERY TICKET VENDORS on the streets of Bangkok are concerned they will lose their jobs if a government plan to introduce lottery machines goes into effect.

Although street vendors sell official lottery tickets, a parallel network of illegal brokers markets illegal lottery tickets. By some estimates, Thais spend $10 billion annually on illegal gambling, much of it in huay tai din, or underground lottery houses.

Chuvit Kamolvisit, a lawmaker and former massage parlor mogul who recently exposed seven illegal casinos on his Facebook page, said Thailand has been slow to approve lottery machines because many corrupt politicians and criminals worry that a more

competitive state lottery will eat into their illegal lottery operations.

But the gambling operations have little to fear, says Rattaphong Sonsuphap with Chulalongkorn University’s Center for Gambling Studies. “Online lotteries will not reduce the size of the illegal lottery nor solve the problem of overpriced tickets.”

Activist groups for the disabled also oppose the idea, concerned that many of their members who sell tickets on the street could be pushed out of business.

Others opposed to the machines, including teachers and members of the Family Network Foundation, say the proposal could lead children to mistake the machines for video games, spurring addiction.

“It’s not a positive thing, with more lotteries creating a worse situation for the country,” says K. Than, a religion professor at Bangkok’s Mahidol University. “It makes people expect to make money without working.

Simple people end up sitting idle and dreaming.”

Soldier’s survival surprises doctors MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

SAN DIEGO — When Pfc. Geoffrey Quevedo was airlifted late last year to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after being severely wounded in Afghanistan, his family in California was told to hurry to Washington to say a final goodbye.

The 20-year-old from the farming community of Reedley in Fresno County, Calif., was not expected to live beyond a few days.

The blast had ripped off his left foot and his left arm above the elbow. It knocked out four front teeth, broke his nose and jaw, and collapsed a lung.

He was blinded in his left eye and his blood loss was enormous.

But the doctors’ gloomy prediction failed to take into account Quevedo’s refusal to die — and possibly underestimated the military medical system’s ability to pull a young soldier back from the brink of death.

“My family was told to pack their bags and come see their son for the last time,” Quevedo said. “The doctors didn’t know something: I’m a hard head.”

Now, after a stay at Walter Reed and then at the poly-trauma unit at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Palo Alto, Quevedo is receiving care at Naval Medical Center San Diego, including for traumatic brain injury.

In response to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Naval Medical Center San Diego has become one of the nation’s top hospitals in treating

traumatic amputations. Since 2006, the hospital has had 169 patients who suffered amputations in the war zones.

Many patients receive more than one prosthetic, each specialized for a certain task: running, walking, exercising, etc. Last year the facility provided 418 prosthetic limbs; the number this year is already close to 500.

Quevedo is eager to get his prosthetics and, after leaving the Army, get a job. There are still surgeries and months of therapy ahead but he is doing an internship with the U.S. Marshal’s office in San Diego handling administrative paperwork.

“I never feel sorry for myself,” he said recently after a rigorous morning of exercise in a class for amputees. “I knew the risk when I enlisted. I don’t want to be treated like a baby by American society.”

He had been in Afghanistan for eight months when, as a cavalry scout for the 10th Mountain Division, he went on a patrol to clear out the buried explosives that are the Taliban’s weapon of choice.

It was four days after his 20th birthday.

He does not remember much about the explosion. “I just saw a light,” he said.

The days after that are a haze, except he remembers having a dream about his 3-year-old daughter. While he has no regret about enlisting, he has a kind of sorrow that therapists say is common to the war wounded: that their injury represents a failure to do their job.

“When I woke up I just kept saying, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I let everybody down,’ that I could

have done better on that patrol. I felt like I let my family and buddies down.”

Those feelings aside, Quevedo refuses to consider that his life will be limited by his injuries, that there are things he will no longer be able to do.

“If you tell me ‘no,’ I just say, ‘Watch me,’” he said.

ared Lee Loughner was brought to justice last Thursday.

The troubled 24-year-old, a clinically diagnosed schizophrenic, was sentenced to seven consecutive life terms in prison without parole.

According to media reports, prosecutors made the decision not to pursue the death penalty at the behest of the victims and their families, who felt it was wrong to execute a man with a mental illness, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Wallace Kleindienst.

“Almost all the victims you shot and the families of those you killed came to us and said they didn’t want us to seek the death penalty in this case,” Kleindienst said. “What you did was wrong, but they felt it wasn’t right to execute a man with a mental illness.”

The decision to seek life in prison instead of the death penalty was unquestionably an act of compassion on the part of the prosecution, but the death penalty shouldn’t have even been on the table in the first place.

The merits of capital punishment have been championed ad nauseam for years, but never before has its drawbacks been more apparent. An increasing number of states have considered abolishing the death penalty out of financial necessity.

It’s actually tens of millions of dollars cheaper to imprison killers for life than to execute them. The legal costs of execution, namely the trial costs and convoluted appeals process, are a drain on states’ coffers.

In California, where a proposition to outlaw the death penalty was decisively rejected last week, the capital punishment system has cost the state $4 billion since 1978, even though only 13 convicts were executed during that time. No state can afford to spend this much on anything that isn’t an absolute necessity.

But if the cost of the death penalty doesn’t turn you off, then its moral implication surely will.

Executing someone who took the life of an innocent solves nothing. It may satisfy some repressed desire to exact the ultimate revenge onto those who thumb their nose at the dictates of common decency, but in the end neither the killer nor the victim’s family gain anything meaningful.

The proponents of capital punishment are no better than the killers they are supposedly “bringing to justice.” Taking an eye for an eye is the same as taking an eye, and the sooner we realize that, the sooner the death penalty will be proven useless.

When Loughner opened fire at former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords during her Congress on Your Corner constituency meeting, the family members of the victims took solace in the fact that he would be dealt his due comeuppance in the court of law.

They can now rest assured knowing that Loughner will spend his remaining years within the confines of federal prison, where he will have plenty of time to reflect and hopefully make amends.

The fact that the death penalty was not sought in the case against Loughner is proof that the country is continuing to evolve on the issue of capital punishment. Hopefully, there will come a day when we all realize that such a vindictive gesture is neither cost effective nor moral.

at Arizona State University who have shared with me their concerns about the range of interpretations that this poorly conceived and realized legislation could have among a highly diverse community like ours.”

Neither the Arizona Board of Regents, nor the UA administration, has ever offered such a clear and unambiguous condemnation of the law.

Now that the 2012 elections are done and immigration reform is back on the national legislative agenda, Congress should act quickly to pass comprehensive immigration reform that would end federal policies like 287(g) and Secure Communities and repudiate state-level policies like SB 1070.

In the meantime, we should take a step back and consider: During the era of civil rights struggle, the federal government, through the Department of Justice, came down decisively on the side of justice, as state governments across much of the country tried to maintain Jim Crow and other forms of racial apartheid.

When it comes to immigration enforcement, the Justice Department has neglected its historic mandate to defend civil rights and equal protection. In its place, local government — including this university — must step up to the plate.

UAPD should, to the greatest extent possible, limit its enforcement of Section 2(b) and its cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

And the Arizona Board of Regents should take a principled stand and insist that it does so.

Police Beat MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Criminal speedster races to class

A UAPD officer pulled over a driver for speeding at 62 mph in a 35 mph zone.

The University of Arizona Police Department officer followed the woman’s vehicle for several blocks before stopping her near Campbell Avenue and Seventh Street at 10:55 a.m. on Nov. 7.

The woman, driving a red Ford Fusion, identified herself with an Arizona driver’s license, and told the officer she was sorry for driving fast, but was doing so to get to class.

Two other individuals had accompanied the woman in her vehicle.

When the officer informed the driver she was under arrest for criminal speeding she replied she’d thought the speed limit was 45 mph. She then added that she’d only been driving that fast for several seconds.

The driver was cited and released at the scene for charges of criminal speeding.

Hazy cause of smudge and smoke

A UAPD officer responded to a report of a possible arson in the Yavapai Residence Hall at 3:10 p.m. on Nov. 7.

Upon his arrival, the officer was led to damage above a stairwell that appeared to have been caused by smoke soot.

The smoke hadn’t melted or worn off the paint, but contained smudges creating the appearance that an individual had unsuccessfully attempted to clean it.

The director said the damage had been spotted by a building facilities worker at 8 a.m., who believed that the damage occurred between 12 a.m. and then.

There are currently no suspects or witness for the crime, but photos were taken and submitted for evidence.

Frat member down two wheels

A $250 bicycle was stolen from the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. on Nov. 6, according to the owner of the bike.

A UAPD officer spoke to the man, who said he’d secured his bike with a U-lock through the frame and front wheel on the south side of the house. The man said that in the 30-minute period he was gone, his bike had been stolen.

The student described the bicycle as a white street bike and, though it was not registered with Parking and Transportation Services, was able to provide a serial number.

The owner was unaware of the manufacturer and the model of the bike, but did complete a victim’s rights form.

Washington’s limits on live media coverage risks censorship

larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat SENIOR RECEIVER DAN BUCKNER falls behind sophomore Austin Hill in every statistical receiving category, but insists that he hasn’t been overshadowed by Hill’s success this season.

Football notes: Enough to go around for Buckner, Hill KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona’s Austin Hill was named as a semifinalist for the Fred Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation’s top receiver, but head coach Rich Rodriguez said another Wildcat also deserves to be in the conversation.

Senior Dan Buckner has been quietly consistent all season, and although Hill has overshadowed his numbers, Buckner’s twotouchdown game Saturday against Colorado showed his big game potential.

“I think when you talk about guys that should be nominated for postseason honors, I think both of

those guys are very deserving,” Rodriguez said. “I’m really proud of [Buckner]. He’s what you want out of you’re seniors, to have their best year and he’s done a good job.”

Buckner is second on the team with receptions (57), receiving yards (716), and touchdowns (five) while Hill leads all three categories. Playing second fiddle to a player in the running for the Biletnikoff isn’t anything to be ashamed of, but Buckner entered the season as the Wildcats’ leading receiver and presumable No. 1 option.

“I feel like I’ve left some plays on the field,” Buckner said. “You know there’s always room for improvement.”

While Buckner trails Hill in all major categories, he said it wasn’t a case of being outdone by the sophomore, but rather a tandem where the two receivers feed off of each other.

“I don’t feel overshadowed by Hill at all,” Buckner said. “I was just talking the other day, I was like, ‘I don’t think Rich Rod’s had so much production at wide out.’

You know, Austin’s my partner in crime. I don’t think I’d have as much success if Austin didn’t have his success and visa-versa.”

Last weekend with backup B.J. Denker starting at quarterback, both Hill and Buckner had three catches, as the UA leaned on the

UA swimmer puts ‘everything on the line’ Arizona athlete eager for another shot at US Olympics

EVAN ROSENFELD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Margo Geer anxiously prepared herself for the biggest race of her life.

Her dream was to swim in the Olympic Games and this was her chance. As she stood on the block waiting to dive into the water at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb., she said she saw her whole swimming career flash before her eyes.

“I wasn’t a part of a team [in high school],” Geer said. “It was all about my individual performances. When I race, I put everything on the line. I lay it all out there, give it my all and don’t like to leave anything behind.”

Geer grew up in Milford Center, Ohio, where at a young age she found her passion for swimming. She started with the Buckeye Swim Club in Columbus, Ohio at the age of 5.

By the time she entered high school, she was already a decorated swimmer with a fiery competitive streak. Geer attended Fairbanks High School where she swam, but used the Springfield Family YMCA club as a training base for competition.

By the time she graduated high school, Geer was considered the fastest female swimmer in the history

of the state of Ohio, and nearly the fastest in the country. She won a total of eight state championships, placing first in the 50 and 100 freestyle for four consecutive years.

As a senior, she set state records in

the 50 and 100 freestyle, compiling times of 22.40 and 48.99 respectively, and possessed the fifth fastest times in U.S. history by a high school swimmer.

“She has always swam really

diligently,” head coach Eric Hansen said. “It’s always exciting to watch her race, but I think she can still do better. She is capable of a lot and I can’t wait to see her compete in nationals.”

Coming out of high school, Geer was a five-star recruit and on the radar of many college teams. She said she chose to attend Arizona because she fell in love with the swimming program.

“I chose UA because I initially really liked Frank Busch and Rick DeMont,” Geer said. “The environment of the team felt really close and I liked the combined men/women’s program.”

In her first season as a Wildcat, Geer continued with her success, setting personal best times in the 50 freestyle (21.79), 100 freestyle (47.70) and 200 freestyle (1:45.78).

During November 2010, she placed first in eight events including dual meets against Wisconsin, UCLA and USC, and was named the Pac-10 swimmer of the month. Less than a month later, she won the 50 and 100 freestyle events at the Texas Hall of Fame Invitational.

“I wasn’t that surprised,” Geer said. “I pretty much expected to succeed from the beginning because I knew that coming here, I was going to get faster right away.”

FORMER ARIZONA QUARTERBACK Nick Foles is expected to start for the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday against the Washington Redskins after Michael Vick suffered a concussion last Sunday night.

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

PHILADELPHIA -- Nick Foles isn’t the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback. Yet. But it seems all but certain the rookie will hold that position come Sunday when the team is at Washington, since it seems unlikely that Michael Vick will be able to play.

Vick suffered a “pretty significant concussion” in a 38-23 loss to Dallas Sunday and spent Monday resting at home, according to head coach Andy Reid.

Vick must pass a series of tests before he is cleared to practice or play, and since he wasn’t even at the NovaCare Complex Monday, it’s very likely he won’t be cleared in time for the game.

“I think we’ll know here in the next couple of days,” Reid said when asked how far into the practice week he can go without knowing if Vick

can play. “I think we’ll have a pretty good idea.

The thing I’m telling you now is I think it’s a pretty significant concussion there.”

Vick was injured in the second quarter Sunday, presumably when he was knocked down by linebacker Ernie Sims on an incomplete pass. But Vick also took a hard shot the play before from lineman Jay Ratliff at the end of a scramble.

Foles took over and played the rest of the game in his first regular season action. He threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to give the Eagles a third-quarter lead, but also threw an interception for a TD and was sacked and fumbled into the end zone for another TD in the final seconds. He finished 22-for-32 for 219 yards and an 85.3 passer rating.

“I’ll tell you he did a nice job of keeping his eyes down the field when he was under pressure,” said Reid. “He had a couple of nice

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNe

plays there. There were a couple of plays there that he’d like to have back, but I thought he did a pretty good job with that. I thought he got the ball out on time. He handled pressure well when it was in his face, and he didn’t move.”

Reid said Foles will practice with the starters Wednesday, but said he wasn’t ready to rule Vick out for this week.

“Not right now,” he said. “We’ll go through the protocol here. I’ll just tell you, though, that it’s a pretty good one. So we’ll go through the protocol.”

Reid said Vick has been in communication with head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder and will continue to speak with him until the testing

begins.

“His recollection of it he was a little foggy last night after the incident,” said Reid. “Today he’s resting. Right now, this period is very important that he does rest.”

Reid tried to steer talk away from whether Foles could win the job as the starter before Vick returns, but did admit the player who gives the team the best chance to win would keep the job, which he said is the case with all positions.

“These are all projections,” Reid said. “I’m just telling you Michael is hurting right now; Nick is going to step in and be the quarterback until that point comes; and we’ll take it all from there.”

more often than most would have thought in the preseason.

And that might call for more time at the five for Ashley, who scored 12 points and blocked two shots.

“Brandon stepped up,” Miller said. “He was the one big guy when we went small and we moved him to the five, which he hasn’t played a whole lot.

But with his instincts he made basketball plays.”

The Wildcats outscored the Buccaneers in the paint 27-22, but Arizona learned in a big way that outside shooting might be the only way to counteract teams that prevent it from utilizing its size advantage.

The UA attempted 32 3-pointers, making 11, which was just six attempts away from the school record. Hill and Jordin Mayes combined to shoot 6-of12 from beyond the arc, while the rest of the roster shot just 5-of-20.

“I didn’t even know we shot that many,” said Lyons, who shot 2-of-8 from beyond the arc in the season opener. “We shot a lot of threes, but we have great shooters capable of making shots, so it’s just a matter of making them.”

run more. But Buckner made his receptions count, scoring on two of three, and he was the only receiver to reach the end zone in Arizona’s 56-31 victory.

both the 50 and 100 freestyle events at the NCAA Championships in Austin, Texas.

“It was definitely a big honor,” Geer said. “I know that there are a lot of great athletes at Arizona. It’s a big privilege to be named as one of the top athletes here.”

As a sophomore, Geer said she looked to improve even more on her previous success. She served as one of Arizona’s team captains and was named Arizona

Athletics’ Female Sophomore Athlete of the Year.

She recorded a team-high seven All-American honors following her sophomore campaign. At the NCAA Championships last winter, Geer placed second in the nation in the 50 freestyle and 200 and 400 medley relays and third in the 100 freestyle and 200 and 800 freestyle relays.

“Margo is one of those people that leads by example,” sophomore Shannyn Hultin said. “She helps bring out the best in you. She really believes in her teammates and inspires them to accomplish things they maybe thought they couldn’t.”

The injury bug has not been kind to the Arizona offensive line this season. Senior starters Kyle Quinn and Trace Biskin missed multiple games, left guard Chris Putton suffered a concussion against UCLA and backup tackle Lene Maiava tore his ACL early in the season.

The Wildcats have been forced to shift different players all around the line, and senior Shane Zink has made a name for himself at doing exactly that.

“I think he’s played every position but center,” Rodriguez said. “We’ve needed that.”

Zink has started three games this season and appeared all over the line, and while he said the system implemented by Arizona isn’t overly complicated, it isn’t exactly a simple switch to move around the line.

“I’m not going to lie to you, it’s not an easy thing to do,” Zink said.

“It is something that, I think, is important, and I’m glad to be one of the O-lineman to be able to do that.”

Coming into the season Zink only had three starts under his belt. All of the injuries forced him into several different starting spots, but he said his role is just to be the utility man.

“It’s hard to say that my role is anything but someone behind the scenes. I’m not a big guy that [says], ‘Give me attention’ or ‘Do this or do that for me.’”

“I just want the best five out there, whether I’m there or whether I’m not there. I just want Ka’Deem [Carey] to have a good game, I want

10

Matt [Scott] to have a good game …

That’s really all it’s about and I’m sure the other O-linemen will tell you the same thing.”

With only two regular season games left in his career, plus a likely bowl invitation, all that matters is that he’s helping the team to win, he said. The 6-foot-6, 314-pound Zink would play defensive back if it would help the team to win, it doesn’t matter to him.

“If that’s going to help the team, then yeah I’ll do it,” Zink said. “If being a water boy is going to help the team [I’ll do it]. It’s something that I think is engrained in our team.”

Miller might be medically redshirted

Senior Terrence Miller burst onto the scene this year with a six reception, 80-yard game against Toledo that included the gamewinning catch in overtime. After being lost in the shuffle last year with only 11 catches, it looked like Miller was prime to break out as a consistent receiving option.

But his injuries started to pile up, starting with the game against South Carolina State. Since Miller has only played in four games this season, Rodriguez said he is seeking a medical redshirt.

“We were hoping at a time that there might be [a chance he’d play], if he got back for two or three games left in the regular season,” Rodriguez said. “But that doesn’t look like the case.”

Miller had 13 receptions for 143 yards and two touchdowns this season.
