Helena Horne, a student worker at the UA Equine Center, located at Campbell Avenue and Roger Road, feeds about 50 horses every morning.

More than just horsing around: Student works for love of animals

By Brenna Goth DAILY WILDCAT

Animal sciences senior Helena Horne enters the barn at the UA Equine Center to a chorus of neighs and stomps.

She starts checking feeding sheets, scooping pellets into buckets and hosing down hay. With Horne’s 6 a.m. arrival, the horses know it’s time for breakfast.

The UA has about 40 to 50 stallions, mares and foals at its agricultural center north of campus on Campbell Avenue and Roger Road. The horses are used for research, as part of animal

sciences classes and in riding classes.

And three mornings a week, it’s Horne’s job to feed all of them.

“We try to feed them as fast as we can so nobody stresses out,” Horne said. “They’re very cool animals but very high maintenance.”

The center has eight paid student employees and an additional three to four volunteers, according to Kacee Adams, who coordinates student workers at the center. Most of the students work cleaning the stalls or handle the twice-daily feedings.

For some, online health blogging provides an invaluable resource to help those afflicted deal with their diseases. For others, the Internet can be a dangerous tool — especially when it’s misapplied.

Steve Rains, an associate professor in the UA Department of Communication, performed an 8-week study examining health bloggers. The goal of the study, according to Rains, was to understand the social implications of blogging among people with illnesses.

“The most interesting finding that I’ve come across is that the people who actually lack support from friends and family most benefit from going online and blogging,” Rains said.

“They’re able to gain access to others, who although they might not know, have suffered from the same health condition.”

Greer McKee, pre-nursing sophomore, said her dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when she was 9 years old.

“It was really hard because we didn’t know anyone who had Parkinson’s disease, they were either really old, and my dad felt like he was kind of alone because he was a 31-yearold Parkinson’s disease patient, and that’s not normal,” McKee said.

McKee said “he (her father) felt really isolated” until their family purchased a computer and her older sister began researching the disease online. Mckee said her family met face-to-face with people they found through the Internet who were diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s disease.

Lisette LeCorgne, nurse practitioner and coordinator of urgent care at Campus Health Service, referred to online resources as “invaluable,” and said patients with chronic illnesses and injuries can utilize blogs to share information and vent.

“Understanding is so often required to have compassion, and other patients who have the same problems are far more attentive, I think, and understanding because they’ve experienced some of the similar symptoms,” LeCorgne said.

But the credibility of online resources may

Potential changes to the UA’s academic calendar may give students a break during the fall semester and offer more scheduling flexibility.

According to Patti King, the director of curricular affairs, the UA has established a task force to investigate the pros and cons of adding a fall break and 7 1/2-week-long sessions to each semester. In this case, a fall break would be added to give students time to regroup after the first half-session before moving on to the next.

This coming spring, ASU will implement a new academic calendar.

It includes the addition of two sessions, each 7 1/2 weeks, which will be offered concurrently with the regular 15-week semester. During the fall, a 2-day break, or a 4-day weekend, will separate the two half-semester sessions.

Brizza Contreras, a freshman studying pre-family studies and human development, said she would take cuts to winter and summer breaks if it meant getting some time off during the fall.

“We need a break,” she said. “Some students need to catch up with, you know, schoolwork. They have little time to be with their family and do homework.”

Irvin Polanco, a freshman studying psychology and pre-physiology, said the spring semester has more breaks, which makes his workload more manageable. Having time off during the fall would help him perform better academically, he said.

According to Davi Vitela, a graduate student studying speech, language and hearing sciences, students miss classes to go home toward the end of the fall

Umur Yenal, a postdoctoral research associate in chemical and environmental engineering, said that reaching out to others online can be informative and provide necessary support, especially in regards to illnesses, but still thinks it can be risky to rely on the Internet as a resource.

“It is a dangerous tool too, you have to be really careful about controlling those blogs and who’s writing and not to give false opinions or false hopes to people, because humans are interesting animals, we can use any opportunity in the wrong way,” Yenal said.

College campuses have made a positive impact on student mortality numbers through effective public health service programs.

A study from the American Public Health Association showed college student mortality numbers are lower than those of same-age peers in the general population. Suicide numbers in college students are 47 percent lower and alcohol-related deaths are 60 to 76 percent lower, according to Dr. James Turner’s research on leading causes of death among college students. Turner is the executive director of the Elson Student Health Center at the University of Virginia and was the past president of the American College Health Association.

The fact that such mortality rates are lower speaks to the “effectiveness of education and interventions on campuses,” Turner said.

Results also showed the leading cause of death among college students between the ages of 18 and 24 is suicide, followed by non-alcohol vehicular accidents and alcoholrelated accidents.

Mayor Bloomberg defends removal of Occupy Wall Street protesters MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK — New York’s mayor Tuesday defended the pre-dawn clearing of the Occupy Wall Street encampment, saying “inaction was not an option” as the nearly 2-month-old setup became packed with tents and concerns grew that fires and other hazards could erupt.

Police in riot gear moved into Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan shortly after officers handed out notices to protesters at about 1 p.m. warning them the park was about to be cleared. It said residents could return after a clean-up but that they would no longer be permitted to set up tents, bring in sleeping bags, or camp there 24/7.

“Protesters have had two months to occupy the park with tents and sleeping bags. Now they will have to occupy the space with the power of their arguments,” Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement, promising that the privately owned park would reopen later Tuesday. Police said they had cleared it by about 4:30 a.m.

Throughout the night, a police helicopter could be heard thundering above the area. Live video showed some protesters pulling down their own tents and leaving, but it also showed police dumping tents and other belongings into a huge pile to be taken away. Protesters were told they could retrieve their belongings later.

Bloomberg said the city acted in coordination with Brookfield Properties, which owns Zuccotti Park and which until Tuesday had let protesters remain there. “At Brookfield’s request, members of the NYPD and Sanitation Department assisted in removing any remaining tents and sleeping bags. This action was taken at this time of day to reduce the risk of confrontation in the park, and to minimize disruption to the surrounding neighborhood,” Bloomberg said.

“Unfortunately, the park was becoming a place where people

Demonstrators are arrested as police remove all of the Occupy Wall Street protesters from Zuccotti Park in New York City on Tuesday.

came not to protest, but rather to break laws, and in some cases, to harm others,” said Bloomberg, an apparent reference to the recent arrest of a man on sexual assault charges. “The majority of protesters have been peaceful and responsible.

But an unfortunate minority have not been — and as the number of protesters has grown, this has created an intolerable situation.”

The sudden move followed simi-

lar attempts in other cities, notably Portland, Oregon, and Oakland, California, to end Occupy protests, and it comes on the heels of a protest Monday outside City Hall by local business owners complaining that Bloomberg was letting protesters destroy their businesses.

A protester named Dave Harold, interviewed on the local all-news TV channel NY1, said he saw “a ton of cops in riot gear” as the raid began and that

he joined a core group that refused initially to leave. “A lot of us were ‘no, we’re not leaving.’ And then they just started pushing in and ... slashing up tents,” said Harold.

A woman identified as another protester said one police officer laughed and said “happy trails” as she and a friend headed out of the park. They went to a nearby McDonald’s to use the bathroom but were shooed away by police, said the woman, whose name

was not given.

Police said they had arrested about 70 protesters, The Associated Press reported, including some who chained themselves together to try to prevent being arrested. Occupy Wall Street protesters told people to move to Foley Square, outside the courthouses in Lower Manhattan, where scores of demonstrators arrested in an early Occupy Wall Street march were due to appear before a judge later Tuesday.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker fights recall effort Man behind collective bargaining legislation faces renewed oppositon MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Democrats and liberal activists officially launched a campaign Tuesday to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, an effort rooted in the Republican’s successful effort to pass legislation stripping public employees of collective bargaining rights.

And wasting no time ahead of what may be a lengthy and expensive campaign, Walker is already responding with a new television ad defending his record after less than a year in office.

The main effort to recall Walker is sponsored by a group called United Wisconsin, which filed paperwork with the state’s Government Accountability Board so it can begin gathering the necessary petition signatures.

“Walker has lied to the people of Wisconsin and is destroying our state,” wrote Julie Wells, an employee at a manufacturing plant in Fort Atkinson

College campuses, including the UA, have resources such as residence hall advisers, deans, campus police and counseling and health services in order to combat these factors. These are people “who are trained and skilled in identifying students who are having emotional problems or substance abuse problems,” Turner said.

It’s also helpful that most campuses don’t allow guns and have good security, he added.

David Salafsky, the director of Health Promotion and Preventive Services at Campus Health Service, said he agrees that college campuses have valuable public health programs

who submitted the document. “Walker has taken away the rights of workers, is destroying our education system and is selling our state to the big corporations that put him in office.”

The committee has until Jan. 17 to submit the 540,208 signatures required to spur the recall election. Elections officials would then have at least a month to review those signatures, and Walker would also have the opportunity to challenge them.

Once a petition is considered valid, an election would be called for six weeks. Democrats would have to put forward a candidate to challenge Walker in that election; if a primary is required, the general election would be held four weeks later.

Reid Magney, a spokesman for the Government Accountability Board, estimated that the elections could be held as early as May or June.

Walker, elected in 2010, introduced his anti-union law in February of this year, sparking heated protests from Democrats and labor unions. Democratic lawmakers even fled the state in hopes of

Opponents of the law first initiated recall efforts against Republican state senators who had backed the legislation. Two of six were successfully recalled, leaving Democrats just shy of regaining a majority in the chamber.

“It all makes sense,” she said. “I just have to look at the sheet a lot of times.”

Horne also checks the horses’ wellbeing when she feeds them.

Colic, swelling and bruises are common problems to see, she said.

It’s especially important to check the foals, which were born between January and April.

Revenue from horse sales fund the center, so horses need to be kept in good condition without bruises and scars, Horne said.

“Horses are fragile animals when

it comes to that,” she said.

Throughout her time at the equine center, Horne has also helped with an equine reproduction study and helps when horses are given shots.

The experiences will help her with future plans to become a large animal veterinarian, Horne said.

The hardest part of the job is getting up at 5 a.m. — especially when it’s dark and cold outside, Horne said. But someone’s got to do it, she said.

“It’s important,” Horne said. “If we don’t come out, they don’t eat.”

for students.

“I think one of the conclusions, one of the takeaways (of the study), would have to be that these (services) really make a difference,” Salafsky said.

Campus Health Service employees pay attention to trends and they want to make sure programs “reflect the health issues that students are facing,” he said.

One of the factors playing a role in the decreased number of alcoholrelated vehicular deaths is that many highly residential campuses have Greek Life systems close to the campus area, Turner said. Since students are living on campus or nearby, they don’t have to drive in order to socialize, he added.

“I think to say that college students are much, much more likely to have

alcohol-related fatalities on the roads is not true,” Salafsky said. “Overall, it seems to be in line with what we see in the general population.”

College students seem to be doing what they should be to ensure they are driving more responsibly, he said.

They tend to take the proper measures to prevent alcohol-related injuries or deaths.

“There’s been a real culture change over the years with that,” Salafsky added.

Turner also said the UA is a leader in some of the educational programming available for alcohol abuse.

“I think one of the messages here is that the work that colleges and universities do, (the support services, the public health efforts), have a real impact,” Salafsky said.

week after Ohio voters rejected a similar law pushed by Republican Gov. John Kasich, a result seen as a victory for the labor movement.

ber who said the new law helped her district put money in the classroom.

“Wisconsin’s best days are yet to come. It won’t happen overnight. But we are on our way,” Walker says in the 30-second spot.

Walker told The Associated Press on Monday that he would launch more ads soon showing “real people” talking about his initiatives.

Wisconsin Democrats planned a series of events Tuesday to promote the “Recall Walker Kickout Kickoff.”

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who chairs the Democratic Governors Association, would not say Monday how active his group might be in the effort.

“If we have an opportunity to replace a narrow-minded, ideological and ineffective governor with a Democratic governor that gets things done, we’ll be in there with both feet,” he said.

Any costs for a recall election would incurred by local cities and towns. The 17 separate recall elections held in targeted state Senate districts this year cost an estimated $2.1 million.

semester while instructors continue classes.

Vitela teaches a speech and hearing course, and has chosen to cancel several classes because she knows attendance will be low.

Vitela said having some sort of break during the fall semester, perhaps even an entire week off for Thanksgiving, would ensure that instructors didn’t waste time preparing lectures for empty classrooms.

“From the teaching perspective, it makes a little bit of sense because you can feel that nobody’s here,” she said.

ASU’s changes are meant to provide more flexibility during the academic year and accommodate a greater number of nontraditional students. Many of the classes during the half-semester sessions will be held online.

For students who take classes during the summer, the new schedule extends summer sessions to take some of the rush out of the courses. Now, students can enroll in 6-week or 8-week summer sessions. Winter session courses, however, will no longer be offered.

The UA task force is conducting research among instructors and students to determine both the benefits and the feasibility of offering a schedule similar to ASU’s. It is also considering how the change would affect students in terms of maintaining full-time enrollment and financial aid, King said.

The task force will submit the results of its research in early December. King said that whether or not the UA decides to follow ASU’s example, changes to its academic calendar are underway.

with each other, which is a good thing, but it minimizes how often people actually just talk to other people,” Pearman said.

Architecture junior Laura Vargas said she believes it’s a matter of adjustment.

“It’s something that’s kind of strange at first, just because anything with technology can be kind of foreign at first, but I think if it makes a person healthier, happier, then I don’t see why not,” Vargas said.

Andrea Corral, a doctoral candidate in environmental engineering, said support is crucial, especially with chronic illnesses.

“Family or friends can get a little overwhelmed with the whole situation and people suffering from those illnesses can just feel lonely,” Corral added.

Rains said he doesn’t see the issue with alternative technological means of communication, and that it only becomes a negative when the information grows burdensome and unnecessary.

“I think the wealth of support that is to be had from those resources is yet to be recognized, and I think we’re going to see it as being exponentially more valuable as time goes by,” LeCorgne said.

Black Friday openings cut valuable family time Megan Hurley Daily Wildcat

R

emember back when Thanksgiving was a time for family and togetherness? When the only focus was on watching the parade and spending time with those you love?

Well, that was the past. Toys “R” Us will open its doors at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving and Walmart stores will open earlier than ever at 10 p.m. in anticipation of the shopping sprees to follow. More and more retail giants are deciding to start Black Friday on the Thursday normally reserved for non-commercial purposes. While many may just see this as a business decision that people can ignore, but this can’t just be ignored.

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has 1.2 million employees in the United States, according to its Investor Relations website. As the economy goes downhill, people cannot afford to miss a day of work that can help pay for their daily expenses. These corporations put their employees in positions where they have to choose between family and money. When it comes down to it, the employees will be forced to choose the money. These employees should not have to make these decisions when economic times are tough enough.

The economy has been hard on many people, but there needs to be a point where business stops. Back in the early 20th century, pioneers for improving labor conditions fought hard to maintain some semblance of dignity in what it meant to work in the United States. The economic downturn has decreased the quality of life for citizens of all financial stature, but something we all share is a need to be together with the ones we appreciate. Trying to make a larger holiday profit at the expense of employee family time is morally wrong.

While many businesses view early openings as smart choices, you must ask whether these corporations are only hurting their own reputations. How can a business market itself as family-friendly when it tries to devalue the holidays it promotes? Megaretailers are starting on a slippery slope that will lead to their own demise.

Looking at the futures of companies and the working class, one must wonder where the holidays end and commercialization begins. The economy has already hurt the giant corporations enough, but now the desperation has began to affect everyone.

This situation has gone past the point of whether commercialization is bad enough or not. Now, citizens have to choose a side. Will they lose their job and have quality time with their family? Or will they work on a federal holiday and just hope that the future will rectify this down the road?

People will see what is right, what is wrong, and how times of distress only require so many desperate actions. Taking advantage of the desperation of others to make ends meet violates everything that Thanksgiving represents. Thanksgiving is about coming together as a family and remembering what everyone is thankful for. There needs to be some respect left between the employer and employee. Otherwise, no shred of dignity will be left within the workplace.

Furthermore, the entertainment industry has degraded itself plenty with their shakedowns and ridiculous lawsuits. Let’s not forget such wonderful cases as the suit brought against a woman who didn’t even own a computer on the dates she was accused of file sharing.

Recalling Russell Pearce Andrew Conlogue Daily Wildcat

A

special recall election held last week forced Russell Pearce, the controversial president of the Arizona Senate best known for engineering SB 1070, out of office. Pearce is the first legislator in state history to be recalled in this way. Much has been made since he was ousted, from pure elation among his biggest detractors to devastation within the ranks of his staunchest supporters. The removal of Pearce from office represents history in the making, and a victory for some fundamental aspects of the American system of government.

In the nearly one hundred years since the Arizona Constitution was adopted, this is the first time a state legislator has lost a recall election. This is startling, considering that Arizona has some of the least restrictive rules regarding recall in the country. All elected officials are open for recall in the state, with only a quarter of the qualified voters in the official’s constituency required to demand the recall.

Though Arizona has acquired a reputation as a very conservative state, its governing document was crafted largely by progressives at the height of the so called “Progressive Era.” By all accounts it is one of the most “people friendly” state constitutions in the nation.

The recall of Pearce can be painted as either a victory or a defeat in the aggregate, but there is no denying that a victory for the

ordinary citizens’ participation in democracy has been won. Enough of Pearce’s constituents viewed his record as their senator as unsatisfactory enough to declare him unworthy of representing them. A majority of those same constituents decided that he was less able to represent them than his opponent Jerry Lewis.

If the aim of democracy is complete accountability to the people, then the ability to throw elected officials out of office at any time, as demonstrated by Mr. Pearce’s constituents, would of course be essential.

If the recall election is a victory for “people power” in the democratic process, it is also surely at least a symbolic victory for civility in politics. Pearce has been maligned by his opponents as fiercely as he has been defended by his supporters.

Along with the obvious policy disputes that Democrats and liberals might have with a Republican conservative, one complaint continually leveled at Pearce on both sides of the proverbial aisle was incivility.

Whether he is in his private life or not, Pearce’s senatorial record has given him a reputation for extremism. Especially in the case of notorious SB 1070, the larger public view of Pearce is of an individual who does not compromise. Some can claim, and rightly so, that compromise sometimes takes a back seat to action, but the inability to compromise under any circumstances is certainly problematic.

Given the nature of his opponent in the election, it appears that one major aspect of Pearce’s defeat was the perception that he lacked the capacity for civility.

The new senator for Pearce’s former constituency, Lewis, is not the hard leftist opponent to Pearce’s hard rightist. He is another Republican from Pearce’s very Republican constituency. Though less than a week has gone by since Lewis was elected, the principal difference that commentators are already identifying between Pearce and Lewis has to do with his tone rather than his policies. Words along the lines of “kinder” and “gentler” are being used to describe the victor in relation to the vanquished.

Are such analyses of Lewis accurate? Only the establishment of his own senatorial record will tell. But voters vote with their perception, and they voted for the man they perceived as more civil. Sweeping generalizations in politics are often used and even less often correct, but saying that Pearce’s recall represents a referendum on incivility in government is a fairly safe generalization to make. If that is indeed the case, every supporter of democracy can take at least some small solace in this historic recall, the first to unseat a state senate president in state history.

Democracy works and ordinary people are the ultimate authority in that democracy. At least in Mr. Lewis’ new constituency, those people want a more civil democracy.

In the days ahead, this declaration may be proven wrong, but at least on these points, the result of this election seems to be something all true democratic citizens can get behind.

Frisky fraud A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall at 12:30 a.m. on Friday in response to an allegation of fraud. The officer met with a woman who said Chase Bank had notified her on Nov. 9 about a fraudulent purchase made to her debit card. The purchase was for $4 to a pornographic video website called “mfrealbzone.” The woman deactivated her card. There are no witnesses or suspects at this time.

Copper thieves hit Coronado A UAPD officer went to Coronado Residence Hall at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday in response to a theft of copper wiring from the construction site around the dorm. The officer met with the superintendent from the construction company, who reported that someone had stolen more than 100 feet of copper wire between 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 9 and 6:30 a.m. on Thursday.

The superintendent said the total value of the stolen copper is about $350. The wire was attached to a generator. The superintendent said one of his workers had arrived at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday and saw the fence was partially open on the south side of the construction site. The foreman called many of the recycling businesses in the area to see if anyone had turned in the wire, but no one had. He told the businesses to keep a look out for the stolen wire. Victim’s rights forms were given to the construction company.

P-Card fraud A UAPD officer spoke with a UA employee on the phone on Thursday about several fraudulent purchases made with her UA purchasing card. The woman said she noticed several purchases made to the card that she had not made or authorized.

The first charge was made on Nov. 4 to Vesigo Studios, in the amount of $99.95. Other charges were made between Nov. 7 and Nov. 8 to a Sleep America in Goodyear, Ariz., for $2,106.98, Verizon Wireless for $333.80 and $99 to Groupon.com.

Celestial and buggy graffiti tags A UAPD officer went to McClelland Hall at 9 a.m. on Thursday in response to graffiti painted onto the sidewalk and on the handicap access ramp of the building. The officer noticed the words “Deer Tick” and “Divine Providence” stenciled onto the property. The words were in pink paint and appeared to have been applied using a stencil.

The officer photographed the area and called Facilities Management to schedule the removal of the graffiti. The officer searched the words online and found that “Deer Tick” is the name of a band from Providence, R.I., and “Divine Providence” is the title of the group’s fourth album. A stencil was packaged with the online purchase of the album on vinyl. The stencil shown on the band’s website was consistent to the graffiti at McClelland Hall, the officer noted. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the UA. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

E.C. Hill is all smiles.

The Arizona women’s basketball assistant coach was recently inducted into the Illinois High School Basketball Hall of Fame alongside basketball legends Isiah Thomas, Kevin Garnett and Doc Rivers. Hill wasn’t able to attend the induction ceremony because of her duties at Arizona, but she appreciates being honored alongside the basketball greats.

“I’m really privileged to get that,” Hill said, “so I’m really humbled and excited that I have this honor, and just looking at the people that I’m going in with — wow.

The class is pretty impressive.”

Hill is in her first season with the Wildcats after serving as an assistant coach at Northern Illinois for six years. Between working with head coach Niya Butts and mentoring Arizona’s guards, Hill loves every second of her new gig.

“She’s just a really good coach,” junior Davellyn Whyte said of Hill. “You can tell she knows exactly what she’s talking about.”

Hill’s office in McKale Center is littered with memorabilia from her career — a highly successful and accoladefilled career at that.

Her basketball journey began in Chicago, where she was the No. 2 high school basketball player in the country behind eventual WNBA star Lisa Leslie.

One of the best moments of Hill’s entire basketball career came in high school, when she was named the state’s player of the year.

“Girls basketball in Chicago is really big time,” Hill said. “One of my best honors was when I was player of the year.

That’s one of my fondest memories.”

Scoring 73 points in a single game will make people notice, but according to Hill, the feat wasn’t as impressive in reality as it was on paper.

Going into that 73-point game, Hill was in the running against Leslie for national player of the year. So, in large part because of Leslie’s clear height advantage, which made it easy to put up big numbers at the high school level, Hill’s coaches came up with a plan.

“I’m 5-foot-7, she’s 6-foot-5 and my coaches were saying we gotta do something to try and get this award,” Hill said.

The team had a game against a mediocre opponent, so her coaches’ strategy was pretty simple that day — give E.C. the ball.

“Unfortunately, the team we played against was not very good so no one else shot the ball but me,” Hill said. “We was trying to get this award.

“My teammates bought into what my high school coach was trying to do for me for the award,” Hill added, “and I was the only one that shot the ball in the game. It was kind of set up for me.”

KEVIN BROST / DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona women’s basketball assistant coach E.C. Hill, in her first year with the Wildcats, began coaching following a successful playing career.

Afterward, the press criticized Hill and her team for taking advantage of a lesser opponent, and Hill said she and her team apologized to their opponents afterward.

But karma struck despite the apology.

Soon after Hill’s 73-point game, Leslie dropped 105 points on an opponent. In the end, Leslie won the award, but Hill’s path toward a lengthy career was just beginning.

She received scholarship offers from numerous top-notch basketball programs.

As the No. 2-ranked basketball player in the country, she had the ability to go anywhere. Instead of going to a bigger, more renowned school, Hill stayed close to home and played for Northern Illinois.

“At that time, NIU was like really, really good, so it wasn’t a shocker for me to go there.” Hill said. “People were shocked that I took that route, but looking back it was the best route for me.”

Hill had a successful career at NIU and was eventually inducted into the Northern Illinois University Hall of Fame.

When she graduated, Hill made stops playing for professional teams all over the map. Internationally she played in countries ranging from Iceland to Greece

to Italy, and in the WNBA, she played in Charlotte, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Orlando.

When her playing career finally ended, she knew she wanted to stick with the sport she loved, so Hill began her coaching career. After faltering initially as the head coach at Robert Morris, Hill found her niche back at her alma mater.

“I knew I wanted to stay in basketball in some capacity, but I didn’t know what I wanted to do,” Hill said. “Coaching, I hear so many horror stories. It’s a lifestyle now, so I’m used to it.”

After coaching at NIU for six seasons, Hill decided it was time to advance her career, and when an opportunity to join Butts’ coaching staff opened, she pounced. After some email, Facebook and phone conversations, she secured the job.

With the approval of her daughter, she made the move to Tucson.

Now she is coaching alongside Butts, focusing on the development of guards such as Whyte, Candice Warthen and Shanita Arnold.

“I love it,” Hill said. “I have great people around me.”

tep onto the pool deck at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center during practice or at a meet, and something stands out. It’s not the list of Wildcat-bred Olympians, which grows every four years. Nor is it the state-of-the-art diving platform, or the number of NCAA champions.

As a fan sitting behind me put it, “They have a black guy on the team.”

That black guy is Giles Smith, a sophomore from Baltimore, who’s having quite the year so far.

When most people think of swimmers, their initial thoughts go straight to Michael Phelps or Arizona’s own Amanda Beard. Both are accomplished Giles Smith and renowned Olympic athletes. Both UA swimmer are also white.

Swimming is one of many smaller sports like golf, tennis and lacrosse that are frequently overlooked by black athletes. I was raised in a pretty diverse part of Los Angeles, and still, most of the images of athletes I saw were of Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and from my Minnesota Vikings-loving father, Randy Moss and Daunte Culpepper.

My neighbors, friends, classmates and I were all involved from an early age in the Big Three — football, basketball and baseball. We took the time to learn sports like swimming and tennis but only as recreation. We had no one to look up to in other sports that we could compare to ourselves.

That did not stop Smith, who has been swimming since the age of 6. Without a black role model, the encouragement to keep swimming started at home, with his parents.

“It was pretty easy to get my parents into it at a young age,” Smith said. “I won my first race, and ever since then my dad was like, ‘Wow, maybe you can keep going with this, maybe you can get a college scholarship.’ Just a wild dream, but I guess his wild dreams came true.

“They’ve been my biggest supporters,” Smith added.

“They’re into swimming as well as anyone else.”

Earl Woods and Richard Williams also figured prominently into their children’s loves of sports considered outside of the “norm” for black athletes. Woods and Williams went on to coach and raise some of the most successful black athletes of our generation in Tiger Woods, the former top-ranked golfer in the world, and Venus and Serena Williams, two of the world’s best tennis players.

The list of Smith’s role models — after his parents — is very short. His parents have always supported and encouraged him to succeed, but one name did stand out to Giles as a young boy.

“My athletic role model growing up was Kobe Bryant, I guess,” Smith laughed. “There were no real swimmers to look up to growing up that was an African-American male.

Instead, I gravitated to my parents for support.”

Smith, who swam on the undefeated men’s 400y freestyle relay team and the men’s 200y medley relay this year, has the second fastest time in the country in the men’s 100y butterfly event. He is the perfect antidote to the lack of role models in lesser recognized sports for black children.

“I think it is really needed,” Smith said. “When most young black kids think of athletes, they think of basketball, football and track. And I just want to show them that it can be done, and they can be just as good as anybody else, no matter what their race.”

Swimming is usually an afterthought in many people’s minds until the Olympics ramp up. But even when the Olympics roll around, black swimmers are not visible.

Giles Smith is making waves in the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center, and he is looking to be more than just “the black guy.”

St. John’s, Arizona in similar situations

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

More than 2,500 miles separate Arizona and St. John’s.

The Wildcats and the Red Storm play in different conferences, have different histories and employ different styles of play.

But despite the list of differences, head coaches Sean Miller and Steve Lavin actually find themselves in more similar situations than expected.

“We’re a new team, we have lots of newcomers and are very young,” Lavin said on the 2k Sports Classic conference call on Monday. “We like the skill and quickness that our team has exhibited to this point, but we don’t have the depth of size in terms of front line, and overall we’re a bit thin in terms of our rotation.”

Sound familiar?

Like Arizona, St. John’s is a young and inexperienced group relying on freshmen to step into the spotlight and contribute.

With five freshmen and two junior college transfers in the starting lineup, Lavin can relate.

“As we step up in competition we’ll get a better sense for where we are as a basketball team,” Lavin said. “You have to stay tuned in terms of where this basketball team is headed.”

While Miller had to deal with losing arguably the best player in the country

in Derrick Williams and his starting point guard in Momo Jones, Lavin was forced to find an entirely new staring lineup.

The Red Storm’s four leading scorers — Dwight Hardy, Paris Horne, DJ Kennedy and Justin Brownlee — all graduated. Its fifth starter, Dwayne Polee Jr., transferred to San Diego State in the offseason.

Lavin was able to soften the blow of losing all five starters by landing the No. 3 recruiting class in the country last year, according to Rivals.com. But even after enticing some of the nation’s top recruits, Lavin’s challenges weren’t over as Amir Garrett, Norvel Pelle and Jakarr Sampson were ruled ineligible for the fall semester.

Even after the loss of that trio, Lavin has a plethora of young talent to choose from, including junior college transfer God’s Gift Achiuwa, who is leading the Red Storm with 17.7 points and 8.3 rebounds through three games.

Lavin starts five first-time Division I players. The Red Storm has immense talent, but like the Wildcats, St. John’s is far from a finished product.

“You’d prefer to have more practices, more time with your team, but there is some value in playing games like this weekend’s because you do get a report card on where your

Meyer turns down football opening Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne met with former Florida head coach Urban Meyer in Miami early last week to discuss the Arizona’s vacant football head coaching position, but Meyer decided he wasn’t interested, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

An unnamed source told the Times that Meyer called Byrne to decline the job on Monday.

Meyer, currently working as an analyst for ESPN, is likely the most desirable coach on the market after going 65-15 and winning two national championships in six years at Florida.

Byrne hasn’t committed to a timeframe but said in October that he wants to have a coach in place soon after the regular season ends. Few details about the search are available as Byrne tries to be as secretive in the coaching search as possible.

International Education Week (IEW) provides a platform to champion global awareness across our campus. Perhaps more important, IEW allows us to express, both internally and to the broader Tucson community, precisely howcentral global engagement is to the very identity of our University. These impacts are only achieved through the active participation of each department and college across campus.

Our goal is for every UA College to host or sponsor an international activity during International Education Week, November 14-18, 2011 so that every UA student has an international connection during that week. We also encourage participation from Departments, Clubs, Organizations, Centers or Advisory Boards, and we ask you to pay particular attention to program opportunities that allow us to engage our fellow Tucsonans.

REVIEW

ART’s ‘Secret Garden’ hard to unlock, betrays its roots If you go

You’re the quintessential Kickstarter success story; you exceeded your goal by a factor of five. How do you feel about that overwhelming fan response?

I initially budgeted $18,000 to make my album, that would’ve covered the studio time, producer, engineer, musician fees, mastering and printing of the album, but that’s a lot of money and I didn’t think my fans would understand how making an album could possibly cost that much. I instead asked for $15,000 hoping it was an easier number to grasp. When I hit $15K in the first 24 hours I was completely blown away. I had no idea how incredible the response would be even then. After 30 days I was just out of my mind happy and most of all relieved that I had the freedom to make the most awesome album I had ever attempted.

Now that you have some serious studio freedom, what can we expect from your upcoming album and beyond?

I definitely spent a lot more time in the studio once I knew I had the money to do so. The original budget allowed for 16 days to record 18 songs.

I added a string quartet to certain songs, and was able to add in some of the fun stuff that had been worked out on the road. A lot of the money is going back into the project to get better quality stuff from mastering to nicer quality T-shirts for the people that got them on Kickstarter. Whatever I have left is going to promotion and touring. So, expect me to tour my face off come February.

by Archibald and his brother Dr. Neville Craven, played by Frank Camp, is sad not only because of its subject matter, but because it showcases the brother who, despite being one of the show’s most interesting characters, is left unexplained.

GRADE: C

DAILY WILDCAT

Have you heard of Jason Rodgers? Troy Barnes? Childish Gambino?

If not, then you wouldn’t know that all three are alter egos of Donald Glover — the mastermind behind the YouTube sensation that is Derrick Comedy, the oblivious football player on NBC’s “Community,” and the indie scene rap thunderstorm that is Childish Gambino.

Despite the current mindset that’s embodied recent radio rap, Gambino isn’t trying to be hard like T.I., rebrand himself like Drake or beat a dead horse like Weezy — there’s a dark and refined aura about Glover’s music that is composed of social fallacies, racial stigmas and obscenely witty one-liners.

Above all, it’s Glover’s defined comic sense that COURTESY OF BILLBOARD.COM sets him apart from the Childish Gambino pack. It’s the same brand of intelligent humor that he’s honed doing stand-up and writing for “30 Rock” and “Community,” now placed into rapid-fire context over some truly brilliant beats.

His self-deprecating nature and raw honesty make him both a target and a genius in the collective eye of mainstream rap, as Glover quickly admonishes the “money, girls and cars” mentality and instead makes himself the center of his writing, often in the least egotistic way possible. His newest release, Camp, is also his major label debut, and is by far the most introspective and controversial of his seven albums, all of which span a shocking three years.

More akin to his off-kilter image is what Glover brings to the landscape of today’s rap scene — he’s impeccably dressed to the point of hipster acceptance, has an absolutely riveting Tumblr and makes himself more available to his listeners and fans than most artists currently coming up. These factors alone turn him into a forerunner for what can only be a shift toward more conscious, questioning lyrical content in hip-hop from the two-dimensionality that’s plagued it over the past 10 years.

Camp’s underlying message is Glover’s own cry for a reality check for the genre, and the idea is no clearer than in the down-tempo “All The Shine,” on which he states “I’m not trying to come hard, I’m trying to come me.”
