Honors College: Pay or leave Students By Michelle A. Monroe ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT There are 629 fewer Honors College students this year than last after almost 19 percent of the 2009 Honors College population withdrew. The total enrollment is at 3,116, the most significant decrease since a peak high in 2004 with 4,228. This year the Honors College implemented a $500 yearly fee. Some students left because of this new cost. “There were clearly students who decided they didn’t want to remain in honors when the new fee was instituted,” said Patricia MacCorquodale, dean of the Honors College. “We knew there would be students that would decide to leave the college than pay the fee.” Ryan Kreisberg, an optical engineering senior, dropped from the Honors College because of the fee. “It’s a nice thing to graduate with honors, it looks good on a resume, but I’m a student who pays his way through college and if I see a price tag I don’t agree with, that I don’t want to pay, I have no problems cutting it out of my life,” Kreisberg said. He noted that another determining factor was that the Honors College wasn’t clear about where the money would be spent. “I still agree that they are vague with where the money is going, and I think that’s

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A new student-run publication is tackling environmental topics with a wide range of perspectives. The Arizona Journal of Environmental Law and Policy released its inaugural issue on Friday. What one student began has transformed into a full-fledged publication with an eager and excited staff. The journal’s objective is to provide a blend of expertise on environmental and legal issues, by bringing together students from various fields. “I think the journal is really important to try to be something — to cross the bounds of not only Speedway, but also try to get the law students and hopefully the science grad students to talk to each other and collaboratively work together,” said Jessica Driscoll, associate editor and hydrology doctoral student.

something students deserve to know because $250 is steep for a semester,” he said. MacCorquodale said that many students who were leaving sent messages saying “that they enjoyed their honors experience, but they weren’t graduating with honors.” “People didn’t leave because they were dissatisfied or disappointed in their experiences,” she added. Kiki Wykstra, a senior studying ecology and evolutionary biology and Spanish and Portuguese, dropped from the Honors College. “With the implementa-
tion of the fee, I didn’t want to pay money for something that wouldn’t benefit me and I haven’t seen any benefits so far,” Wykstra said. “Not that there aren’t (any benefits) but just for myself there wasn’t anything further that I wanted.” Other students felt the advantages of being in honors are worth the money. Katie Dolan, a sophomore studying English and creative writing, remained in honors despite the fee. “Smaller classes are important to me, and the extra help

ARC’s GiveBack KickBack raises thousands for school, well in Africa By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Students and community members raised more than $16,000 at the ARC’s GiveBack KickBack, a fundraiser to support the efforts of the School for Abul project, on Friday. The street party was hosted at Main Gate Square. Several local restaurants held percentage nights for the project, and students set up games and activity booths. The street party featured live entertainment from African musicians and local dance groups, as well as a DJ “spinoff” contest. Cindi Gilliland, a senior lecturer at Eller College of Management, coordinated the event. Gilliland is the founder and faculty advisor for the Arizona Refugee Connection, a student organization dedicated to facilitating refugee resettlement in the community. “Our professor [Gilliland] always volunteers to help refugees and she inspired us. So we said, ‘Why don’t we just set up a
student organization?’” said accounting senior Fang Yuan. “It’s been two years now and tonight is the biggest event ever for us.” School for Abul was inspired by UA international studies student John Akuar, a refugee and one of the “Lost Boys of Sudan.” Akuar came to Tucson in 2004 and later became a U.S. citizen. After returning to Sudan in 2009 to visit his family for the first time in 22 years, he dreamt of building a school in Abul. “It’s pretty much just a big event for everybody to get involved,” said Charlie Booth, an accounting senior. “It’s great for the people who are involved, and hopefully it’s just as great for the people in Africa who need the school.” Gilliland said the event brought in over $16,000 as of Sunday, and pledges were still coming in. Ninety percent of the money raised will go to School for Abul and drilling a new well in the village. The remaining money will benefit ARC.

Medical students honored their most dedicated and inspirational teachers on Friday. The annual Faculty Teaching Awards Ceremony recognizes outstanding teachers in the College of Medicine. Students, faculty and community members supported the recipients in the University Medical Center’s DuVal Auditorium. Students nominated teachers who put significant time and effort into helping them through medical school. “It’s very easy to take for granted,” said first year medical student Seth Turner. “Some of our teachers really do care about us and go that extra mile. It’s really great that we honor them.” Teachers in the College of Medicine often spend hours helping students outside of class time and are not always paid as well as those who work PROFS, page 5

Undeclared freshman Do you like to dance? Wow, that is a quite a question. It would be an understatement to say that I love to dance, at parties, in my underwear, in the halls, literally everywhere. Oh wow, that is awesome. Why do you like it so much? It is just a way to get down and nasty. Do you go to dance clubs? Like academic clubs or nightclubs? Either, I mean you are a freshman, so I don’t know how many nightclubs you have been able to go to. Oh, age is just a number. It is all about knowing the right people. Plus, my moves get me into places a lot of people can’t. Sounds like an episode of “The Hills.” (Laughs) My life is nothing like “The Hills,” let me tell you. Why? I do not base my days around what I am going to wear that day and if some guy has texted me back. What do you base your days around? I would say homework or studying like every other kid, but that is just not an honest answer. I should be basing my days here around school, but I find myself just socializing and trying to decide who to hang out with that day. Better enjoy that girl. It will change soon. I mean, I am young. I don’t want to start getting wrinkles worrying about my Love and Eroticism test when I could be having fun and doing something crazy. What is something crazy you plan to do before the semester ends? Hmm … that’s a good one. I’ve accomplished a lot of crazy goals already so it’s going to have be something extremely wild. I don’t know, probably like parachute off a roof. Whoa! Dreaming big, I know. So I take it that you don’t like to live with rules? Rules are great, but they are not for me. Why should I follow the rules of someone random that has no credentials that made them up? Such a great question. How do you feel about juvenile delinquents? I feel sorry for them. They either were in the wrong place at the wrong time or were just completely living life. What if you got a phone call from your mom telling you she was in jail, what would you tell her? I’d say: “Yeah Mom! So glad you are finally living life.” Then she would probably start laughing. My mom is my partner in crime. — Caroline Nachazel

Riding a parrot? It happens The phrase “I’ve got a monkey on my back” is being taken literally among animals in captivity. Recently in San Agustin, Colombia, a lazy monkey started doing the animal kingdom’s version of shacking up with a male and female parrot at a countryside hotel. The owners of the hotel says the squirrel monkey eats and plays with his bird-brained
roommates. On the other hand, the monkey doesn’t exactly go bananas about exerting himself when he doesn’t have to, so he often hitches a ride to the tree tops by sitting on the back of one of the birds. The hotel owners, who own the birds, tolerate the monkey most of the time, but, according to photographer Alejandro Jaramillo, they do have to occasionally throw water at him

to get him off the birds. Lazy monkeys haven’t quite become an epidemic — yet — but they are more common than you might think. For instance, at the Fukuchiyama City Zoo in Kyoto, Japan, a baby monkey named Miwa has been palling around with a young boar named Uribo since they both lost their moms in June. — AOL News

Broadway in Tucson: ‘Be Our Guest’

By Emily Moore ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Your Thanksgiving dinner probably won’t contain several musical numbers or dancing utensils, but Tucson Music Hall’s Thanksgiving weekend will. Tuesday through Sunday, Broadway in Tucson presents a new version of Disney’s musical, “Beauty and the Beast.” It’s a tale as old as time. Beast is a prince trapped in his beastly form, along with his entire castle, by an enchantress’ spell. Belle is an ordinary girl living in a simple town. When their paths cross unexpectedly, Beast must learn how to love in order to break the curse and free everyone, including himself, before the time runs out. But this time around, the creative team from the original Broadway show reunited to revamp the show. The sets are brighter. They added new songs and choreography. And this is the first tour of the show’s new version. “This is the first chance you will get to see it, and nobody will be disappointed, I’m sure,” said Merritt David Janes, who plays Lumiere. His favorite part of the show — and probably the most recognizable — is musical number “Be Our Guest.” “I love that song,” Janes said. “It’s a fun part for me to get to test the enthusiasm of the crowd every night. They go nuts for that song.” The Disney movie has been around since 1991, the musical opened in 1994 and the rest is history. The show has been performed in over 120 cities in 21 countries and translated into eight languages, including Chinese, German and Italian. “‘Beauty and the Beast’ (is) one of those great Disney stories,” Janes said.

‘Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ redeems controversial Kanye By Maitri Mehta ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Kanye West has one hell of a history. It seems like his public life is always up for debate and, usually, his decisions are controversial and perhaps embarrassing. Between the Taylor Swift debacle, the “George Bush doesn’t care” comments, and various meltdowns, it seems like West is always seeking some redemption. And with today’s drop of his newest album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he gets it. Regardless of West’s choices, his new album proves one thing: West is pretty damn talented. Maybe that’s where his crazy comes from — his own weird brand of genius. But crazy isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is insane and absurd in the best of all possible ways, letting you know up front that it’s heavy and ambitious through its title alone. The opening track, “Dark Fantasy,” is a voiceover from Nicki Minaj, one of the many featured guest artists on the album. Minaj’s voice starts sweet and then contorts, finally yeilding to West’s rap — rap! what we missed on 808s and Heartbreaks — and his rhymes are as good as they were on his first album, The College Dropout, in 2004. If there’s anything we’ve learned from West, he is most definitely not a private guy. This latest album not only reflects his disclosure and vulnerability, but celebrates and even flaunts it. The heart of the album is “Runaway,” a nine-minute, intense track that begins with a single piano key played over, and over — and over. It’s nerve-racking and anxiety inducing but gives way to some fantastic vocals from West, singing; his voice is stripped and painful in a way that’s surprising. “Runaway” is West’s response to Taylor Swift’s public forgiveness of West, which in itself seemed bitter. On “Runaway,” West is personal and confides in his audience, conceding to his faults, offering that he “always find(s) something wrong … I’m so gifted at finding what I don’t like the most.” My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is West’s revelation about the impermanence and phony nature of celebrity — and that West himself can’t seem to escape it. It feels a little inappropriate to say that West is poignant, but there it is. Even the cover art is subversive. The original album cover, which West revealed on Oct. 17, featured a graphic portrait by artist George Condo of West being straddled by a naked, winged woman. iTunes pixelated the cover for their release of the album, and since then, West has revealed four other album covers also by Condo, all of which will be available with purchase.

Even the art echoes West’s message on the album, that he’s just as prone to being forgotten as any celebrity, no matter his greatness. Besides its intense personal nature, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is loaded with impressive guest artists and experimental sounds. The album is almost aggressively schizophrenic, but it works, because it’s as close to an aural memoir an artist could get. “All of the Lights,” the album’s fifth track, is a veritable who’s who of musical talent. The song features Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Fergie, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie, Elton John, Charlie Wilson, Kid Cudi, John Legend, Tony Williams and Elly Jackson. It seems like with so much talent on one compact track — five minutes, one of the shortest on the album — it could get competitive and West would be forgotten. But he isn’t. In fact, the combination of great vocals and bigband instrumental background do wonders for West’s lyrics. The only negative to the release of his latest creation is that it’s probably the best thing West will ever put out. It’s his opus — and though that seems presumptuous, even an early listen of the full-length album leaves little room for contention on that point. The total track time comes in at a staggering hour and

Every track is solid, despite minor flaws and a bit of clumsiness — and even that’s endearing, damn it. West lets his friends shine, too, only to the delight of fans — RZA of Wu-Tang is prominent on the album (and did a good part in production), and John Legend and Chris Rock punch out a great track with “Blame Game,” Legend’s gorgeous, jazzy piano woven in with Rock’s jokes. The album hurtles breathlessly towards its final track, “Who Will Survive in America ,” a minuteand-a-half outro featuring a speech by Gil Scott-Heron played over a breathy beat with bongo drums and piano throughout. It’s a release from the emotional drain of the rest of the album, but it isn’t light by any means. Heron’s words are provocative and loaded, making it a fitting close. Whatever statements he’s trying to make with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he’s definitely reminding the musical world that he’s a tough contender.

EDITORIAL Safety or liberty?
There has to be another option
“D
on’t touch my junk” has become 2010’s “Don’t tase me, bro” — a phrase that has captured the hearts of many and earned the parody of many more, a slangy anthem to resisting authority figures who way overstep their boundaries. When John Tyner, a 31-year-old software programmer, was told he was going to be required to undergo a “groin check” in addition to a standard pat-down by Transportation and Security Administration officials at the San Diego International Airport, he was not happy. He told the handsy security guard, “You touch my junk and I’m going to have you arrested.” The comment, in addition to earning Tyner an even more unpleasant airport visit than he was already having, culminating in threats of a $10,000 fine for leaving the security area, has become the rallying cry for millions of travelers. As the holiday travel season gets into full swing and TSA implements its dreaded new full-body scanners and über-invasive pat downs, airport-goers have decided that enough is enough, and these new searches are just way too thorough. They’re right; the full body scanners project a simulated image of a traveler’s nude body for agents to peruse, and as for the pat-downs, as one traveler put it to a USA Today reporter, “There isn’t any area they forget to touch.” Both processes allow for plenty of misconduct, intentional or otherwise, especially by harried, ill-trained agents in the middle of the holiday airport rushes. Travelers have already reported everything from “groping” to, in one case, a man being soaked in urine when agents disrupted his urostomy bag. In addition, the scanners pose various perceived threats, such as leaked images on the Internet and possible health risks related to the radiation from the machines. Lawmakers have responded to travelers’ complaints. President Barack Obama acknowledged that the procedures are “intrusive,” and Republican representatives John Mica and Thomas Petri, the incoming leaders of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, echoed that sentiment. The two promised to revisit the new procedures and accused TSA of “reacting to old threats … and failing to be ‘proactive,’” according to USA Today. Petri added, “Do we really expect Grandma to go through this?” That remark gets to the heart of the issue: While no one wants to be seen as “soft on terrorism” and voters demand hard lines on such issues from their elected officials, no one wants to be personally inconvenienced, either. It is, fundamentally, an “us and them” issue — people know they’re not terrorists, and moreover, know they don’t fit the narrow, bigoted profile of a terrorist most Americans seem to have, so they can’t be bothered. When a reporter asked Tyner if he “looked like a terrorist,” he replied, “I’m 6-foot-1, white with short brown hair.” The subtext of the exchange screamed that this description is not one of a terrorist; neither is the “Grandma” Petri invoked. Why should nice, normal Americans, who are so obviously not carrying bombs in their underpants, be subjected to this kind of treatment? That stomach-churning question, of course, bears the implication that some people do look like they’re carrying bombs in their underpants, and those are the people TSA should be targeting with its new tests. It’s understandable, and indeed honorable, not to want one’s own liberties tampered with. But you can’t demand that some people be harassed and detained on baseless suspicions on one hand, and get off scot-free yourself on the other. Either we treat everyone like criminals at the airport, which seems to be the current approach, or we figure out a better system, one that doesn’t involve the assumption that some people look like the bad guys and some don’t. Yes, the new procedures are incredibly invasive and challenge just about every privacy law and tenet of decorum out there. But they’re a direct response to this country’s fever pitch about being “tough on terrorism.” Either we make the huge mistake of agreeing to give up our civil liberties in favor of security, or we find a way to reframe the security conversation altogether. But we can’t have it both ways. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

Ode to (actually) giving thanks Brett Haupt Arizona Daily Wildcat
I
will preface my ode to Thanksgiving with a disclaimer: The call to thanks has become somewhat of a cliché that I aim to dispel. The naiveté of thanks-giving and the shallow consumerism we now enjoy has clouded the essence of the holiday. Let us strike at the heart of what brought us to our selfish engorgements and remember how fortunate we are. Before continuing to sound like a parental figure on a soapbox, let’s talk history. It was a dark and stormy November day when the Pilgrims landed on Cape Cod. Their ship, the Mayflower, was dirty, cramped and filled with families who had just spent more than two months on a ship barely 100 feet long. Morale was lower than low, leadership was questioned, the season was late and the winter was bearing down on a group of people woefully underprepared for what was ahead of them. This is not the same story that you dressed up for with paper turkey heads in first grade. This is not the same story
glazed over in select U.S. history books; this was a story of extreme hardship, starvation and cooperation. The latter is owed to the Native Americans, without whom the pilgrims would not have survived. Our main thanks, then, is irrevocably indebted to the Native Americans, who in return were subjected to hundreds of years of mistreatment. Let us be clear: The history of European-Native American relations in North America is despicable, a discourse on displacement and the removal of peoples and lands. Unfortunately, much of this is forgotten, including our celebrated hero Christopher Columbus killing and enslaving hoards of natives during his famous “discovery” of America. With all historical injustices aside, we have more to be thankful for than ever before today. We can be thankful that we live in a society that, although not perfect, is progressively moving toward eliminating prejudice and inequalities across the board. We can be thankful that if anyone tried to enslave Native Americans or African Americans in this
day and age, they would be thrown in jail, and thankful to fellow columnist Mallory Hawkins for getting me in the mood to be thankful. The point to be made is that our storybook version of the first Thanksgiving was celebrated under the direst of circumstances and by a community extremely thankful just for a good meal. Hundreds of years later when we sit down in our temperature-controlled houses with food that has traveled thousands of miles to come together onto our plates, remember we should all be so fortunate. Not only do we not have to live like the pilgrims, but we have the ability to even have a Thanksgiving, which is certainly not a guarantee for all Americans. The chances that we would have lasted more than two hours in the conditions that the pilgrims and natives fought through are negligible. The amount of luxury afforded to us today is incomprehensibly greater than anything that could have been imagined at the first Thanksgiving. So this holiday season, take a moment to reflect on what we have, what we have been given and where we are going. Be thankful for those who came before us and thankful for the opportunity to be thankful; we should all be so fortunate. — Brett Haupt is a journalism junior.

Arizona legislators: beware the Dark Side Remy Albillar Arizona Daily Wildcat
I
f you’ve ever watched Star Wars, you might notice that it’s really easy to pick out the bad guys. Their lightsabers are red, while the good guy lightsabers are almost always blue or green. If only it were as easy to distinguish the “good guys” and “bad guys” among our state’s politicians, whom are color-coded in all the wrong ways. In this galaxy, “red” and “blue” indicate differences in ideologies and interpretations, not moral leanings. Unfortunately, there seems to be more than sufficient reason to judge anyone with a different colored lightsaber as the “dark side” of the Force. If we hope to get anywhere, we need to at least come to a consensus that when it comes to navigating the complexities of electing officials to run our government, gross generalizations based on party lines are not the droids we’re looking for. Thankfully, the recent elections have made it more than obvious that there are new Sith among Arizona’s legislature, and it’s got nothing to do with political affiliations. Enter Darth John Huppenthal, newly elected superintendent of public instruction, who, prior to his election, promised to “take his fight against ethnic studies programs to the University of Arizona if he is elected state superintendent of public instruction,” according to an October issue of the Arizona Capitol Times.
That’s right, folks. Huppenthal promised to take Tom “Palpatine” Horne’s insidious banning of ethnic studies classes to the next level, using his Board of Regents vote to determine which races and cultures we can study at the UA. If that doesn’t sound like the slimly machinations of a Hutt, I don’t know what does. According to an interview with local news station KGUN9, Huppenthal asserts that, “No school district has a right to provide incorrect, unfactual American history that pits a class against another. It’s unhealthy and if that’s what(‘s) going on, there’s going to be a confrontation.” Sounds good, but it might just be another Jedi mind trick. To help you decide, let me just share an excerpt from an August interview with Huppenthal from the Tucson Citizen: John Huppenthal: The Founding Fathers … Tucson Citizen: Even Jefferson who owned slaves? John Huppenthal: Even Jefferson who owned slaves. Tucson Citizen: How is that freedom? John Huppenthal: Well, he was the writer of the “Declaration of Independence.” Tucson Citizen: He also owned slaves. John Huppenthal: Well, there’s no problem with that. It’s the realistic possibility that Huppenthal was elected solely because his name was tied to a divisive color-coding
system that discourages us from making critical decisions to separate candidate from the party line they represent. Huppenthal’s opponent was a decorated educator with years of experience with school administration on a state level. Despite serving on committees dealing with education in the Arizona Legislature, this is Huppenthal’s first education appointment. He has never taught a class, never worked in a school with students. To quote a certain smug-faced smuggler, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” You’ll note I never indicate the political party of any of the politicians mentioned in the article. Why would I? It would add no further context to the stances and experience of either candidate. All it would do is muddle the issue into a game of team loyalties that had done nothing but undermine the principles of our government for decades. And yes, it’s easy to point fingers and make judgments retroactively, but that’s not the point. After all, it’s much easier to make productive observations when there’s no election at stake. Instead, I hope that by illustrating situations like these, where under-qualified candidates with questionable agendas are poised to restrict our educational experience based on something as silly as race, we’ll be motivated to do something about it in the future. We’ll do our part as voters and as responsible human beings, to look past party politics and evaluate each politician based solely on their merits as a person. Do or do not. There is no try. — Remy Albillar is a senior majoring in English and creative writing. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Frosh enrollment down 12%
from Laura Berry, she’s the assistant dean. Extra help in general is nice,” said Dolan, whose scholarship helps pay the fee. Dolan also said that she doesn’t attend any of the programs that are put on by the Honors College. Those programs account for 17 percent of the fee. “I’m not really that involved,” she said. Louise Williams, a philosophy sophomore, returning honors student and vice president of Honors Student Council, appreciates the extra funding to put on programs that she feels are useful to the students and for scholastic reasons. “Next semester there are more honors classes that are being offered that relate to me,” Williams said. Around four more honors classes have been added for the spring semester. “I can tell you our number one priority is classes with the money that remains (from extra funding),” MacCorquodale said. The number of freshmen entering the honors program fell by 136 this year,
meaning around 12 percent fewer freshmen were admitted. However, 2009 was a peak enrollment year for first-year honors students, totaling 1,095, almost doubling 2008’s total of 697. “For the last two year(s) we’ve been admitting more honors students, in part to help the UA with (sic) their recruitment goals,” MacCorquodale said. “With the uncertain economy, we have to do more to try and yield the calls that we want, so last year and this year we have about the same number of students.” Some Honors College students feel that the fee money is too focused on first-year students. “The fee really only helps a small populous,” said one honors student who did not wish to be named for fear of retaliation. “I don’t want my fees to pay for someone else.” Some students are pleased with the decrease in overall Honors College enrollment. “I don’t feel like smaller numbers means a weaker program, we’ll have more dedicated people here,” Williams said.

Online publication fosters new dialogue
JOURNAL continued from page 1
Driscoll considers herself to be a liaison between both fields because of her science background and her law minor. “(The journal) just provides a new medium for dialogue,” Driscoll said. “To make efficient policy you need both law and science to be understood.” During last year’s winter break, Spencer Scharff, a UA alumnus and the journal’s founder, worked to establish the journal’s website and seek out interested students. “We’d all been wanting an environmental law journal but just didn’t have one,” said Priya Sundareshan, the journal’s editor-inchief, a third year law student and natural and resource economics graduate student. The journal is completely online; something Sundareshan says sets it apart from your typical law journal. “Most law journals are in print, even in this day in age when people tend to do all their work online,” Sundareshan said.
Scharff described the online format as perfectly tailored to the idea of being green as well as being cost efficient. The first issue is comprised of a forward by former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt, four full-length articles and a tribute to UA alumnus and former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall. Scharff was excited to see what he describes as originally being “an out there idea” come to fruition, saying that he was “Extremely proud of the work that everyone’s done since I’ve graduated. The journal is in amazing hands.”

Award factors include friendliness, extra help
in the medical field. “People go into academic medicine to make a difference in the life of students,” said Carol Galper, assistant dean for medical student education in the College of Medicine. “Their role in creating future physicians is essential.” Class representatives presented the Faculty Teaching Awards. Teachers were commended for different characteristics including adding humor to their lectures, always having an open office for those with questions and knowing the names of all students in the program. Students shared their appreciation, as well as funny anecdotes during the ceremony. Todd Vanderah, professor in the Department of Pharmacology, received an outstanding teacher award. “It feels great,” Vanderah said. “It’s fantastic.” Students nominated Vanderah, in part, because he holds multiple review sessions each week to make sure they are comfortable with class material. Vanderah said he is dedicated to furthering the education of his students. “It’s very stressful,” he said. “It’s a lot of work. I spend a lot of my time preparing for teaching. I just think it’s really important.” Students also said Vanderah creates close relationships with his classes. Second year medical student Neelesh Anand joked about running into Vanderah at the gym while presenting his award.
“The only thing better than Dr. Vanderah’s physique, is his excellent teaching ability,” Anand said. The students also showed a short, animated “JibJab” video with Vanderah’s face on a ribbon twirler’s body. Vanderah said the video showed his familiar relationship with those he teaches. “It’s just a sign that students feel comfortable enough to do that,” he said. “It’s great.” Faculty also nominated each other for teaching awards. The Vernon and Virginia Furrow Awards recognized outstanding teachers in five categories. “It makes you feel proud, obviously, and it makes you feel like you’re doing something right,” said Jack Nolte, chair of the Academy of Medical Education Scholars and a professor in cell biology and anatomy. Nolte has received the award in the past and presented them at this year’s ceremony. Other faculty members received grants for education initiatives during the ceremony. Some of these projects included adding an online integrative medicine class for students and implementing a breast-feeding curriculum for students in family and community medicine. The awards seek to recognize the importance of those who educate medical students. “You can’t think of a better way to indicate that teaching is something that’s valued and important,” Nolte said.

Odd dents discovered on damaged truck
A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to a campus parking lot on Cherry Avenue to examine reports of damage done to a Ford F-150 truck at 8:10 a.m. on Nov. 17. He met with the owner, a UA student, who said that he had parked his car there the previous day at about 5 p.m. He picked it up that night at 11 p.m., drove it home and didn’t notice any damage to it at the time. The next morning, he parked his car in the same area at 7 a.m. and when he came back at 8 a.m., he noticed there was a dent below his rear window on the passenger’s side. The dent was approximately 12 inches wide and was pushed in deep enough that a piece of metal from underneath was pushed into the side panel. The molding of the passenger’s side window had a four-inch chunk missing from the bottom. There were also two pry marks in the paint next to the window. No entry was made into the truck, nor was anything taken.
Online gamer uses UA credit card
A UAPD officer went to the UA Main Library after someone reported a fraud on Wednesday at approximately 11:28 a.m. The Library Operations supervisor told the officer that sometime on Nov. 2 someone made an unauthorized purchase using her UA purchase card. Her Visa showed a charge for $4.96 from amazing-gaming.com. The officer attempted to reach this website, but found that it no longer existed. The supervisor said that she is the only person who uses that card and she keeps it locked in her desk drawer in the library. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.
Another UA fraudulent charge
A UAPD officer was called back to the Main Library on Wednesday due to another report of fraud. The Library Information associate said that on Oct. 29, an unauthorized purchase using her UA purchase card was made. It was charged $96 by Arvixe, a web-hosting and server support company. On Nov. 11, Arvixe contacted the Library Information associate and said that an unknown user had used their company to get money. They refunded the entire amount back to her credit card. The supervisor said she is the only user of that card and that she keeps it locked in her desk drawer. Her card was cancelled the day before Arvixe had notified her of what happened. There are no suspects or witnesses.
It’s all going down at the library
A woman’s ring was found in the restroom on the first floor of the Main Library on Wednesday at approximately 2:20 p.m. The woman who found the ring placed it in an envelope and turned it into to UAPD at 2:40 p.m. An officer contacted the woman who had turned it in. She told the officer that she had been using the restroom on the first floor of the library when she reached up to grab a paper towel and found the ring lying on top of the towel dispenser. She said there was no one else in the restroom, so she had no idea who it might belong to. The officer thanked her for turning it in so promptly. The ring is at UAPD for safekeeping.

Arizona 93, Northern Colorado 70
Wildcats blow by Bears Arizona off to best start since 2002-03 season By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona basketball walkons have seen more minutes in the first three games than they saw all of last season, proving how the Wildcats have manhandled their first three opponents. On Sunday, Arizona blew out yet another team in McKale Center, dismantling Northern Colorado The 93-70 victory gave the Wildcats their first 3-0 start since the 2002-03 season. Through three games the Wildcats have the looks of a team on a mission, and Derrick Williams didn’t shy away from revealing the team’s early season goals after the game. “This team is trying real hard to be a top-25 team,” Williams said. “That’s where we want to be and we just have to beat everybody by 20-30 points. Even though we’re not playing very great teams right now, we’re just trying to set the tone. We just want to be a top-25 team.” Williams led the way as usual, with 15 points and eight rebounds in just 23 minutes of play. The sophomore made his first 3-pointer of the season, which was only his second jump shot in three games. Until that point, all his points had come on lay-ups and dunks. “Honestly I don’t know if they’re scouting me right or what,“ Williams joked about getting so many easy looks in the first three games. “I’m wide open a lot and it leads to dunks.” Williams wasn’t the only front court player to play well for the Wildcats. Center Kyryl Natyazhko had one of his best games as a Wildcat, showing a newfound confidence in his shooting, which was rare last season. Natyazhko scored nine points on 4-for-5 shooting, including a 3-pointer. “I worked a lot on the jump shot (this summer). Coach keeps telling me if I’m open I’ve got to shoot it,” Natyazko said. “My confidence is much higher and
XC back at NCAA Champs By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The No. 9 Arizona women’s cross country team and top men’s runner Stephen Sambu heads to Terre Haute, Ind. to compete in the NCAA National Championships today at 11 a.m. Thanks to an at-large bid, the women are heading back to nationals for the second straight year after a surprise finsh last season. The goal all year was to make nationals and “do damage,” and now they are finally getting their chance. “We are ready for nationals,” said sophomore Jennifer Bergman. “We would really love to be on the podium, which is top four.” This will be the second time this year that the team will compete in Terre Haute with its previous visit coming during the Pre-National Invitational. The teams will run the same exact course, which should be an advantage. During the Pre-National meet, the women were able to secure a second place finish. Sambu was not able to participate during the Pre-National because he had suffered a lower leg injury prior to the meet. He qualified as an individual because he finished in the CROSS-COUNTRY, page 8
UA raises the bar in 2010 Williams, ’Cats set higher expectations
COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer
Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Arizona junior forward Jesse Perry and the Wildcats continued their dominance over non-conference teams, beating the Northern Colorado Bears 93-70 and held Devon Beitzel to two points on 0-for-6 shooting. The Wildcats’ 3-0 start is the best since the 2002-03 season.
I’ve played better because of it.” Arizona wasn’t perfect on the offensive end but its defense on the Bears was key, limiting them to 31 percent from the field in the first half and 35 percent for the game. The Wildcats appear to be buying into Miller’s defensive philosophy. The Bears’ leading scorer Devon Beitzel, who averaged
18 points coming into the game, did not score a field goal and finished with only two points. “The fact that (Devon) Beitzel didn’t score a field goal was a real credit to our team,” Miller said. “I hope that’s something in the future we can always do, not that we’re going to always hold a leading scorer to two points but
make the game hard for them.” All of Arizona’s starters scored in double figures except Jamelle Horne, who scored five points and only played eight minutes due to foul trouble. Freshman point guard Jordin Mayes added another solid HOOPS, page 8
Like a time warp back to the Lute Olson days, Arizona dribbled out the last ticks on the clock on Sunday — that’s 3-for-3 on the season. Sophomore Derrick Williams, who scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds, said that the Wildcats “have to” beat weaker teams by “20 to 30 points” to be taken seriously as a top-25 team. “Have to” is a phrase of expectation. Anything less against competition like the Northern Colorado Bears would be less than expected during Arizona’s glory days. And it’s starting to become clear that dribbling out the final seconds versus a big bad, Big Sky Conference team is the run-of-themill in 2010 moving forward. “Although we weren’t perfect, we had team basketball going,” head coach Sean Miller said, all while saying it was behind the seemingly effortless game of Williams. “That’s really the identity of this year’s team.” Arizona beat the University of Northern Colorado Bears 93-70 on Sunday in McKale Center, starting the season 3-0 for the first time since 2002-03. Miller said it was simply ZIMMERMAN, page 8
V-ball seniors leave with bang Arizona tops Washington for first time in eight seasons
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After being embarrassed in Los Angeles a weekend ago, the No. 22 Arizona volleyball team rebounded in the best way possible – two wins, one of which was over the No. 11 team in the country. The Wildcats (20-9, 9-7 Pac-10) beat both Washington State and No. 11 Washington in four sets in McKale Center over the weekend, and climbed into the top half of the Pacific 10 Conference standings. On Saturday night against Washington (19-8, 8-8), the Wildcats gave head coach Dave Rubio the effort he wanted in what was perhaps their best all-around game of the season. Arizona beat the Huskies for the first time in eight seasons during the seniors’ home finale. “It’s my last game at home, and in four years we’ve never beat Washington,” senior Paige Weber said. “Before we came in we were told that the last time we beat them was eight years ago. We played them here, on our home floor, and finally won. You couldn’t write a better story.” After struggling to put opponents away at the end of a match, the Wildcats were able to finish off Washington after dropping the third set. “I’m happy that we were able to beat a very good team at home, especially since we’ve been so close all season,” Rubio said. “We were good enough at the end of the game to win it.”

Setter Paige Weber smiles with her parents and Arizona head coach Dave Rubio during senior night on Saturday in McKale Center. The senior from Indianapolis, Ind., never missed a set in her four-year Wildcat career.
Against the Cougars (6-20, 0-16), Arizona took the first set by a score of 25-13 after jumping out to a 15-2 lead. The Wildcats struggled over the next three sets, but head coach Dave Rubio was just happy to get a win. “This is a win that we needed to have,” Rubio said. “We’ll take the win no matter how we can get it.” Washington State didn’t
crumble after the blowout in the first set. The Cougars rebounded to win set two 25-19 behind a flurry of Arizona errors. “In the second set, we got comfortable and let them back in the game,” freshman Candace Nicholson said. “We came back, and that’s all that matters.” Arizona won the final two sets by a combined 11 points to avoid the upset loss.
Even though the Wildcats escaped with the win, Rubio had harsh words for his team following the match. “At this point we need to step up, and everyone needs to play better,” Rubio said. “We’re (less than) a week from our last match, and everybody needs to play at the level they’re capable of. As a team, we need to be more assertive and proactive.”

Sambu at nationals for first time continued from page 7 top four during regionals, where his team failed to qualify. Sambu has gotten praise all year from the coaching staff and the rest of the team as he racks up wins. “I think he is a top 10 runner in the country right now,” head coach James Li said. “I think he can eventually be top five.” This will be the first time Sambu will face the toughest competition in the country. He started his career in Rend Lake Community College and is in his first year in the desert. “I am excited but very nervous too,” Sambu said. “I am happy and ready for nationals, but I am also very scared because it will be very tough.”
HOOPS
Jones, Mayes to split time continued from page 7 performance off the bench, and starting point guard Momo Jones played better than the previous two games. But Miller made it clear he must improve and that freshman Mayes could see more time. “Our point guard position right now needs to be split,” Miller said. “We have more of a one-two punch at point guard than just a starter and back-up. “Momo has to play better. He had zero assist and four turnovers,” he added. “The fact that he didn’t have any (assists) is concerning, I know he’s not happy with that. I really know his coach isn’t.” Arizona has had three games against inferior competition, which will probably continue in their next game on Tuesday against Bethune-Cookman. “I’m not looking past anyone, but everyone wants to play Kansas,” Williams said. “We have another good game coming up, so we’re not looking past anyone.”
ZIMMERMAN continued from page 7
Second-year standards reach new heights
because of Arizona’s past “unmerciful” schedules that the Wildcats hadn’t reached such a feat in so long. Still, the curve of improvement in year two of the Miller Era could be whittled down to a number of plays, statistics and outcomes. Take the Bears’ 18-point per game scorer, guard Devon Beitzel, as proof. “A year ago, when the best perimeter player came into McKale, we gave him some milk and cookies, we rubbed his belly, we made sure he had wide open shots,” Miller said. “And if he missed, heck, we’d even pass it back to him to see if he could break scoring records. “That was the identity of last year’s defense.” Beitzel went 0-for-6 from the field and scored just two points on Sunday. Take this as another example: With 2:13 remaining in the first half, Miller thought sophomore center Kyryl Natyazhko’s help defense had drawn a charge on driving Northern Colorado forward Mike Proctor. To Miller’s dismay, the official called a blocking foul. Miller could only smile, clap his hands and let it go. Had it been last season, Natyazhko might as well have been standing in the ZonaZoo. Had it been last season, it would have been a lay-up for the other team. That’s how it should be in Year Two. Players are buying into Miller’s system, and though beating Big Sky opponents is no analogy to the Wildcats playing sky-high basketball, beating small-school teams by such large margins is undoubtedly a positive sign. Beating small-school teams by large margins is the expectation. Arizona didn’t play a perfectly executed game. It committed a number of turnovers, some off of lazy passes and others when undersized, feisty Northern Colorado guards picked their pockets. But in forcing a number of turnovers themselves and beating the Bears with their physicality, Arizona built a double-digit lead anyway. Its starters played exactly 60 combined minutes to the bench’s 40 minutes in the first half, again showing that Miller is banking on playing hardnosed defense to win games. With that, Arizona all of the sudden led by 26 going into halftime.
Head coach Sean Miller said sophomore Momo Jones would split time at the point guard position with freshman Jordin Mayes after the Wildcats 93-70 win over Northern Colorado on Sunday in McKale Center. Mike Christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

They didn’t let off the accelerator either, at least not until it was too late for the Arizona walk-ons to be capable of blowing such a large lead. Point guard Momo Jones stood on the sideline after a Natyazhko 3-pointer went through the nets and chuckled with glee as Natyazhko pulled the Arizona jersey across his chest for the ZonaZoo to see. “Everyone was killing it today,” Natyazhko said. Such is the expectation. — Kevin Zimmerman is a journalism senior. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships For women younger than 30, the birth control pill is the most common form of contraception. (Guttmacher Institute)
Q How are STD test results relayed back to the patient? A. Positive STD tests are communicated through a phone call. From there, a prescription may be called in if treatment is required. At times, a follow up appointment may also be recommended.
If your STD test results are negative, you can expect to receive either a phone call or a secure electronic message, depending on your preference and that of your health care provider.
Q Does hormonal birth control cause weight gain? A. No, if you are talking about oral contraceptives. A comprehensive review of 44 studies showed that birth control pills did not cause weight gain for most women, and among the very few women who did, it was only around 3-5 pounds and temporary (going away in 2-3 months). Although there is a stubborn myth that the pill has a role in packing on the pounds, research says otherwise. That being said, if a woman is gaining weight while she happens to be on the pill, odds are that other factors, including diet, physical activity, and alcohol use are more likely culprits. If you are still convinced that weight gain is due to oral contraceptives, talk to your provider to determine if another form of the pill might help. While the pill is the most common form of hormonal birth control, there are others
available as well. Two among them, Depo-Provera (the shot) and Nuva-Ring (vaginal ring), have been associated with weight gain as a possible side effect. Unfortunately, when it comes to oral contraceptives, the perception that they lead to weight gain is not only inaccurate – it can also increase the odds of unintended pregnancy as a result of poor compliance and discontinued use.

W-hoops back home after 2-0 road trip By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona women’s basketball team aims to build on its best start since the 2001-02 season this morning when the Wildcats take on Arkansas Pine Bluff (0-2) at 11 a.m. in McKale Center. Arizona (2-0), led by third-year head coach Niya Butts, is coming off of its second road win of the season – a two point victory at Ole Miss. “We’re just sharpening up some things and getting ready for the emotion (of another game),” Butts said. “We’ve still got to clean up some things that we’re doing defensively, especially our ballscreen defense, but we have a lot of things we’re doing well.” Of the things that Arizona is doing well, rebounding stands out. After being a preseason concern for Butts, the Wildcats are out-rebounding their opponents by over 17 rebounds per game. “Defensively and offensively, rebounding the ball, we’ve really turned it up a notch,” Butts said. “I think (the players) just want to win, and they understand that if we’re going to do that, they need to rebound.” Arizona’s newfound depth has also played a key role in the Wildcats’ early success this season. “At any point, you’re going to see different people with big stat lines,” Butts said. “I think that’s because we’re capable of doing that and we have that depth.” That depth is also inexperienced. Arizona’s two biggest contributors off of the bench – Candice Warthen and Erica Barnes – are both freshmen. But that youth has yet to rear its ugly head as Arizona heads into its last game before the Cancun Thanksgiving Classic, where the Wildcats will take on Texas A&M and Bradley.

Junior forward Blake Richards picked up a hat trick in the Icecats’ 10-6 win over the UNLV Rebels on Friday in the Tucson Convention Center. The Iceats split the series with the Rebels, losing 7-4 on Saturday.
Rebels end Icecats’ six-game win streak By Daniel Gaona Arizona Daily Wildcat After a win over the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, on Friday night, the Icecats had their sixgame winning streak snapped as the Rebels handed them their first home loss of the season in a 7-4 defeat on Saturday. On Friday night, No. 22 Icecats gave up five goals in the second period, but held off UNLV on their way to a 10-6 victory. Senior co-captain forward Jordan Schupan and junior forward Blake Richards both had hat tricks in the win. Freshman forward Andrew Murmes had two goals and four assists while sophomore Jared Lowell had five assists. Head coach Leo Golembiewski
said that shooting is the most erratic thing and can never be overpracticed. However, he’s still happy with the team so far. “If we were shooing a little better and a little cleaner in the defensive zone, I think we would be even better off than we are now,” he said. He did point out some struggles from the series and said that the lack of mental preparation probably hurt the team the most in the second game. “Nobody wanted to skate the puck and we had a hard time getting out of the zone yesterday,” Golembiewski said after Saturday’s loss. “We had a hard time down deep in our defensive zone today. It’s disappointing that we didn’t come out and skate with the kind of intensity
we needed.” Another factor that plagued the Wildcats was never having a full team at practice during the week, because of either sickness or injury. Freshman defenseman Michael Basist missed the first game and was only able to play in the first period of the second game because of illness. The Icecats found themselves in a 3-0 hole on Saturday until Lowell scored a goal with 1:30 left in the first period. UNLV extended its lead to 5-1 with 4:54 left in the second period and then sophomore co-captain forward Brian Slugocki scored with four seconds left. Slugocki said they just couldn’t click and that the team was still high on its heels from
Friday night. The Rebels went up 6-2 early in the third period but then UA scored back-to-back goals within a minute of each other to narrow the score to 6-4. The Icecats continued to pressure the net but could not score another goal. Sophomore defenseman Zack Waxenberg scored 10 minutes into the third period in an attempt to start a comeback. He said that the team started slow in both games. “I think we were just waiting for it to click but we never really got that spark tonight,” he said Saturday night. “I put one in and then we got one really quick after and usually we’re able to build off that, but right after we ran into penalty trouble, and weren’t able to kill it off.”
