ASA fee suspension to cut $300K BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

TEMPE, Ariz. — A state lobbying group that works to lower tutition costs will lose half its yearly budget after the Arizona Board of Regents voted to suspend a $2 fee students pay each semester to support the organization.

At a special meeting Monday, the board voted to suspend the collection of the fee until it makes a permanent policy decision either in February or during a later meeting.

The suspension of the fee will result in a loss of about $300,000 for the Arizona Students’ Association for the spring semester.

ASA “works to make sure that

higher education in Arizona is affordable and accessible by advocating to elected officials and running issue campaigns to engage students.”

In 2008, the organization ran a student referenda, which was passed overwhelmingly by both undergraduate and graduate students in favor of paying the $2 fee, according to ASA’s website.

Regents discussed different possibilities for the $2 per-student, per-semester fee collected by ASA, which recently came under fire for allegations of misspending student fee money. Some of the suggestions were to make it easier to opt out of the fee or to establish an opt-in fee, while others called on regents to make a

decision after greater consideration.

Regent Mark Killian suggested ways for students to be more aware of the possibility of opting out of the fee, potentially by notifying them when they pay their tuition. It could be as simple as asking students to check a box to decide whether or not to pay the fee, he said.

“To me, the issue is really simple and that is if a student has a right at the point of paying the fee and they see the language that says, ‘You don’t have to pay the fee, you can opt out,‘ that solves everybody’s problem,” Killian said.

Regent Dennis DeConcini proposed that the policy be kept

REGENT DENNIS DECONCINI speaks during the Arizona Board of Regents’ meeting on Monday.

The board decided to suspend the $2 fee that goes toward the Arizona Students’ Association.

RUNNING BACK KA’DEEM CAREY was named to the AllPac-12 first team as he leads the nation in rushing yards with 1,757.

Arizona running back Ka’Deem Carey was named to the All-Pac-12 Conference first team on Monday while quarterback Matt Scott and receiver Austin Hill were named to the second team.

Carey, a sophomore, is the nation’s leading rusher and is the first UA first-team running back since Clarence Farmer in 2001. In Friday’s 41-34 loss to ASU, Carey broke former Wildcat Trung Canidate’s single season rushing yards record (1,602) and he currently has 1,757 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns heading into bowl season. He is just two touchdowns shy of breaking Art Luppino’s record set 58 years ago.

Joining Carey on the first team is Oregon’s Kenjon Barner, and UCLA and Stanford backs Johnathan Franklin and Stepfan Taylor were second-team choices.

Scott came into his first full season as Arizona’s starter as a fifth-year senior, but his one year in head coach Rich Rodriguez’s

spread option system proved successful, as he passed for 3,238 yards and 24 touchdowns, adding 485 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. Scott is the Wildcats’ first quarterback named to the second team since Willie Tuitama in 2008.

Oregon’s freshman Marcus Mariota, also the Pac-12 offensive freshman of the year, was the first-team selection.

Hill, also a sophomore, broke out to the tune of 1,186 receiving yards on 73 receptions with nine touchdowns, all team highs, and had 29 catches of 15 yards or more. Hill was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation’s best receiver.

Oregon State’s Markus Wheaton and USC’s Marqise Lee were named to the first team, and USC’s Robert Woods joined Hill on the second team. Lee, who lit the UA up for 345 receiving yards on Oct. 27, also won offensive player of the year.

Receiver Dan Buckner, center Kyle Quinn, linebacker Jake Fischer and safety Jared Tevis were named All-Pac-12

Honorable Mentions.

Buckner was second on the team with 59 receptions for 741 yards and five touchdowns, Fischer first with 106 tackles while Tevis was fourth with 72 tackles to go with two interceptions.

ASU’s defensive lineman Will Sutton was named the Pac-12 defensive player of the year, thanks to his 10.5 sacks.

Stanford’s David Shaw won coach of the year after leading the Cardinal to a 10-2 record and the Pac-12 Championship game on Friday despite losing quarterback Andrew Luck to the NFL Draft.

USC defensive end Leonard Williams is the freshman defensive player of the year after recording 7.5 sacks and one interception for the Trojans.

Last year, Arizona had just one All-Pac-12 selection, to the second team, in former cornerback Trevin Wade. Quinn, safety Tra’Mayne Bondurant, kicker John Bonano and exWildcats receiver Juron Criner and quarterback Nick Foles were All–Pac–12 Honorable Mentions.

Exhibit showcases Southwest medicine RACHEL MCCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

An exhibit on age-old medical practices aims to showcase the impact of the Southwest in the world of medicine.

UA Library Special Collections is showcasing photos, books and ephemera of early physicians and hospitals at the Science– Engineering Library. The exhibit, which showcases items dated between the 1860s and 1930s, also shows Tucson’s early approaches at treating tuberculosis.

The exhibit was curated to commemorate Tucson’s 237th birthday, which was in August .

Associate Librarian for the UA Library Special Collections Bob Diaz explained that the goal of the exhibit was to educate others on the city’s history as it celebrated this milestone.

commemorate diversity in the campus community. The event, which was inspired by Guadalupe Serrano and Alberto Morackis’ work of art, depicts four people, two on each side, leaning and pushing against a rustic wall, with neither end showing signs of progress.

Originally situated at the Mexican Border in 2002, Border Dynamics was moved to the UA in 2003.

“To me it means that we have to work together,” Baliani said. “First to realize what our problems are, and then to try and overcome them. I’m very much affected by the way that the sun operates on the sculpture … the sun creates these shadows, and the shadows are of all of us. So if we all come together, we can all kind of understand where our shadows lie and realize the sun is for all of us.”

Curious about other interpretations, Baliani assigned students to write a narrative on the sculpture’s meaning earlier in the year, several of which will be shared Thursday.

“Well, the sculpture is open to interpretation,” Baliani said. “It kind of represents about as broad a spectrum because it’s very abstract.”

Ashley Jeffs, a sophomore studying pre-physiology and creative writing, whose narrative of the sculpture helped her win Honors College Freshman of the Year, will be sharing her account Thursday.

CORRECTION

In the Nov. 25 issue, the story “‘Tis the season for students to earn extra” misidentified Laura Jackson. She is a sophomore.

In the same issue, “Arizona women’s basketball splits in two games at Bahamas tournament” misspelled Alli Gloyd’s name.

The Daily Wildcat regrets the error.

Additionally, others are encouraged to share their viewpoints of the sculpture because of the interactive nature of the event.

“If this has to do with immigration, I feel like it has to do with how beat up they are,” said Nayriah Bosley, a junior majoring in communication and history. “Like what they’re going through.”

Bosley added that art on campus is often taken for granted, and like many other students, she rarely stops to enjoy it.

“The beauty of art is that the interpretation is in the eye of the beholder,” said Roy Harris, a business management senior. “People look at it, they have their own ideas of how it resonates with them and most people can’t say that it’s wrong.”

Harris said he interprets the sculpture as a representation of a societal fight over ideals, but shares Bosley’s opinion that students overlook campus art.

“A lot of people don’t worry about things that may not affect them directly,” Harris said. “They say, ‘well, as long as it has nothing to do with me I’m OK with it. If it begins to affect me then I have a problem with it,’ which I believe is a bunch of crap.”

Baliani hopes that Thursday’s event will lead students to understand current issues, as well as appreciate campus art.

“I pass by these things all the time, and if I didn’t stop I would probably miss so much, and we all miss a lot,” Baliani said. “ So I would just hope that people have a deeper understanding of what it is, and then given that, that we realize more about the complexity of the issue.”

off the December meeting agenda and that, in the interim, the board direct the universities to suspend collection of the ASA fee until the board makes a final policy decision.

“It gives time for this to attempt to find a resolution and there’s nothing wrong in being fair here and giving ample time,” DeConcini said. “It seems only fair and equitable that we have some time before we make this major judgment.”

Student regent Kaitlin Thompson stressed that if the decision were put off, the regents should set a firm deadline. Thompson added that education about ASA proposals and the fee is important, but that a clear deciding date is necessary.

Regents passed the motion to postpone, with two dissenting votes, and Chairman Rick Myers emphasized the need for permanent action.

Following the meeting, some student leaders opposing the organization fee said they were satisfied with the temporary suspension of the fee.

“I think the fact that they removed the fee for the time being makes me happy with the decision because, as of next semester, they won’t be collecting the fee,” said Mark Naufel, president of the undergraduate student government on Arizona State University’s Tempe campus. “I don’t think they [the regents] felt like there had been enough time, so I think giving more will allow us to give more input and for them to make it a more fair process.”

Naufel, a former ASA treasurer, resigned more than a month ago with three fellow ASA board

members from ASU, citing a disagreement with the way the organization was spending the student fee money.

Following their resignations, the ASU student Senate released the results of an investigation on ASA, which was presented to the regents.

The board will continue to consider proposals from directors and student leaders regarding the organization up until their meeting in February, or if the final decision is made at a later date.

Dylan Duniho, ASA vice chair of internal affairs and a creative writing junior at the UA, said the goal of ASA will be to continue to reach out to the regents to set up meetings and stay in communication with them.

“I think ultimately it’s on us as ASA to present the regents with tangible solutions and proposals that make sense for both parties, like what the regents would like to see and what students want,” Duniho said. “This decision by the regents gives us, as ASA, a little bit more time to solidify our proposals and present with them real changes we can make.”

Jordan King, Arizona Students’ Association vice chairman of the board of directors and chairman of internal affairs from the UA, said that although suspending the fee might not be the best choice for the organization, there is money saved up in the reserves to help keep ASA running.

“As of right now we have enough money in our reserves to function as an organization for this next semester,” King said. “We have enough money to operate and do everything we normally do, but moving forward now we’ll have more responsibility to really reach out to the regents, have meetings with them and actively work on changes.”

According to Diaz, Tucson was prevalent for tuberculosis because the climate and good weather were considered especially favorable for treating the disease.

“Tuberculosis was a big health concern,” Diaz said.

“And Tucson was promoted as a place where people could feel well here, so there were a lot of sanatoriums. People from all over the country would come here to get treated.”

Tuberculosis was especially prevalent in the early 20th century, accounting for 12 out of every 100 deaths. During this time, 25 percent of all newcomers to the Southwest came to seek tuberculosis treatment.

The exhibit is divided into three sections. The first section showcases sanatoriums, or resortlike treatment facilities for tuberculosis patients. There were a number of sanatoriums in Tucson, including Tentville on Speedway Boulevard between Park and First avenues.

The second section features the hospitals that were in Tucson during those particular decades. Documents within the exhibit include photographs of buildings like the St. Mary’s Hospital and early documents from the Pima County General Hospital, Diaz said.

The third section covers the contributions made to Arizona by its medical community. According to Diaz, this section includes early doctors that practiced at Fort Lowell Hospital. Biological information on nine early physicians are available, and includes George E. Goodfellow, who performed the world’s first prostate removal surgery.

The exhibit remains open to the public until the end of December.

“It’s coming down to the end of the year,” Diaz said. “So if people want to see it, they should come see it soon.”

Cloud lifts over young immigrants and their legal status, but concerns remain MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The force field protecting Jirayut Latthivongskorn comes from a glossy, federally issued work permit that wards off deportation and lets him get a job, overcoming the legal barriers that have long clouded his ambitions and shadowed his life.

Mailed to homes in fast-growing numbers, the cards are changing the lives of about 300,000 young immigrants, a quarter of them from California, who took a leap of faith this fall by revealing their presence to the U.S. government.

Latthivongskorn’s plastic card, with its 2014 expiration date etched between his fingerprint and photograph, symbolizes what he calls his “two-year lease on life in America” — permission to live and work under President Obama’s reprieve for young illegal immigrants brought to the country as children.

A rapidly changing post-election political landscape is bolstering the hopes of the nation’s more than 1 million illegal immigrant youths. They have a president who says he has their backs and a chastened Republican Party openly reconsidering its harsh opposition to giving them a break.

Emerging everywhere, in cities and affluent suburbs, are people like Latthivongskorn, a UC Berkeley graduate who dreams of becoming a doctor, and Daniel Nunez, a San Jose leaf blower who hopes for a life in the

corporate world.

For years, the young immigrants have tiptoed through their lives, trying to avoid risks that would expose their illegal status to employers, police officers, even friends.

For those who obtain work permits, the labels “illegal” and “undocumented” no longer apply.

And their future has never seemed brighter.

Here are their stories:

Daniel Nunez

Three years ago, Nunez applied at the GooglePlex to wash dishes for the caterer that feeds the Mountain View Internet giant’s army of tech workers.

It was hardly the community college student’s dream job, but it seemed more exciting than blowing leaves off the grounds of Silicon Valley industrial parks, which he has been doing since his teens.

The job offer appeared imminent until he reached a familiar barrier: the background check.

“I just got scared and told them I wouldn’t be able to accept it.”

Then, over the summer, the Obama administration announced it would grant work permits and not deport illegal immigrants 30 or younger who were brought to the country as children and meet basic requirements, such as graduating from high school.

The two-year, renewable permits

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

DANIEL NUNEZ, who has worked for more than two years, has been granted deferred action status by the federal government.

don’t confer citizenship, but they were the opportunity of a lifetime for people like Nunez, among the first in the Bay Area to apply and be accepted.

Now, he is looking for a job and studying for his driver’s license exam, because California is among several states that let the protected immigrants drive.

Nunez’s mother had brought him illegally across the U.S.-Mexico border when he was a toddler.

Growing up, he hung out with fellow video game-playing geeks at his San Jose school, got decent grades and stayed out of trouble.

“It’s not like it’s life or death, but sometimes I feel like it’s life or death,” Nunez said. “If I do something wrong, the life that I know could be gone.”

Jirayut Latthivongskorn

The jazz band was playing when Latthivongskorn walked into UC Berkeley’s Golden Bear Center this month. Undergraduates and professors he knew mingled with wealthy donors sipping red wine and nibbling appetizers.

The party celebrated the opening of the Robert Haas Jr. Dreamers Resource Center, a tiny drop-in office for the 195 UC Berkeley students who are in the country illegally.

“In some ways, since I came to Berkeley, the single most impressive undergraduates I’ve met have been undocumented,” Birgeneau said before his speech.

All of them “earned admission against enormous odds,” he said.

He was speaking of people such as Latthivongskorn, who maintained a 3.7 grade-point average and held a job at a Thai eatery near campus.

He was 9 and thought he was on vacation when he landed with his sister and brother in California in 1999. They were here to stay, his parents later revealed.

He graduated from UC Berkeley in May, after majoring in molecular and cell biology, and is applying to medical schools. He frequently returns to campus as a co-founder of Pre-Health Dreamers, a burgeoning national network to help promising illegal immigrant students pursue medical careers.

“I don’t like for people to be discouraged from what they want to do because of these barriers,” he said.

State Dept. warns travelers of violence in Mexico MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Although the number of U.S. citizens killed in Mexico so far this year is down, the U.S. State Department has again issued a detailed travel warning for visitors to the country.

The state-by-state assessment urges travelers to “defer nonessential travel” to four of Mexico’s 31 states — Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango and Tamaulipas. The department also warns tourists to avoid unnecessary travel to remote towns and border areas in 11 other states, mostly in the northern section of Mexico.

In the state of Coahuila, for example, the travel warning noted that more than 100 prisoners escaped from a prison near the Texas border in September and that they were

believed to have been involved in “a series of violent incidents since the escape.”

The latest travel warning noted that 32 U.S. citizens were murdered in Mexico in the first six months of 2012, compared to 113 in all of 2011.

In a statement, Mexican tourism officials said that so far drug violence is limited to a small percentage of the country’s 2,500 municipalities. In addition, protection of tourists “is at the pinnacle of importance to the Mexican government,” said Rodolfo Lopez-Negrete, chief operating officer for the Mexico Tourism Board.

Criminal violence has been on the rise in the past six years because of a drug war between the Mexican government and various drug cartels.

The U.S. began issuing state-by-state assessments this year in response to criticism from Mexican tourism officials who said the warnings were too generalized.

For years, Mexico has been the top international destination for U.S. travelers. But the number of U.S. visitors to Mexico was flat in 2011 and has declined slightly in the first eight months of 2012, according to federal statistics.

The latest travel warning urged U.S. travelers to be cautious even in popular tourist destinations, including the beach town of Mazatlan in the state of Sinaloa. The State Department said travelers to Mazatlan “should exercise extreme caution particularly late at night and in the early morning.”

After failure of Prop 204, what’s next?

Andres Dominguez Arizona Daily Wildcat

W

hile supporters of Proposition 204 grapple with the next step to take after the proposition’s defeat by a 2-1 margin, one place that some are looking to for funding restoration to the state’s education system is the state Legislature.

With the election sending more moderates to the state House and Senate, and the state and country’s continued, albeit slow, progression out of the recession, many hope that funding for education will be fully restored to what it was four years ago.

If education supporters ever hope to repeat this message and get a different response from voters, then the message needs to be changed to outweigh charges by opponents, who handily fueled a straightforward campaign that convinced voters to turn down the education tax.

Opponents of Prop. 204 had a favorite one-liner, “No new taxes.”

The message did its job, sticking with Arizonans from the 30-second sound bite all the way to the polls.

Even though Prop. 204 was merely an extension of the existing 1-cent sales tax that passed in 2010, the message that stuck was “new taxes,” not “continue the tax you already passed,” which is the message the supporters failed to get across.

Prop. 204 opponents also had an advantage in the complexity of the proposal. Simple talking points like, “This measure is 15 pages long!” tells voters that proponents are not being straightforward, and opponents, like State Treasurer Doug Ducey, can imply that there is additional funding for special interests other than education.

Supporters of the measure did not do enough to counter that claim. The best they could do was air commercials with teachers and students saying that they are not special interests.

But that did not tell viewers what the entire proposal would do if it were passed.

While education advocates can hope for another try with voters in two years, they shouldn’t get their hopes up with legislators in Phoenix.

It is true that we will have a more centrist-minded legislative makeup, but that is outweighed by the fact that legislative leadership is aiming to keep business going as usual.

In a letter to the Arizona Republic, House Speaker Andy Tobin, R-Paulden, said that by voting to keep a Republican majority at the Legislature, Arizonans said, “Stay the course. Continue reining in big government and bloated spending while … supporting our schools.”

With Tobin leading the House, and Sen. Andy Biggs, R-Gilbert, a more ideological Republican replacing moderate Sen. Steve Pierce, R-Prescott, the outlook for education funding restoration looks grim, from the legislative view.

In Monday’s Daily Wildcat, state Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said that the Legislature restored $177 million to education this year. While that seems an impressive figure, it doesn’t make up for the over $2 billion that education lost in the last few years.

While Arizonans can expect for a better outlook for education this year along with the state’s economic progress, they can’t hope for restoration from the Legislature.

Instead, proponents need a new, innovative way to encourage restoration of education funding with a simple, clear-cut message that pounds out political rhetoric and makes a solid stance on how it will be funded.

Make a proposal for education only, be clear that funding goes more to classrooms than to administrators and have an effective messaging campaign.

Without such a proposal, we can only expect education funding to be restored as slowly as the state wants it to.

and Israeli military assaults are a real threat, and one that Israelis should consider seriously.

The economic impact, lack of opportunities and the psychological damage being done to Palestinians has the potential to shape a generation of angry, unemployed, uneducated and traumatized youth that could be easily persuaded to resume suicide attacks on Israel.

In fact, last week a bomb blast rocked a bus in Tel-Aviv.

Is a return to this kind of violence the future that Israel wants? Because that’s exactly what the Israeli government is in the process of producing with the misery it’s creating with its latest assault and its blockade of Gaza.

It’s time to deal with the root causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and acknowledge that ending the Israeli occupation and honoring Palestinian self-determination and human rights are the best antidotes to Israel’s security dilemma.

Israel can’t be an occupying military power that denies human rights to an entire people and make peace simultaneously. It’s time to view the Israeli occupation as the source of Palestinian violent resistance, and treat it as such.

Ending Israeli military aggression and the blockade of Gaza are only the first steps to ending the Israeli occupation. It is the only responsible way to begin working toward a future that will ensure the security of both Palestinians and Israelis – a future that would allow those young Palestinians from Gaza to find hope and opportunities for their futures at home.

Police Beat MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Employee holds UA property ransom

A former University of Arizona Residence Life custodial employee was asked to return missing UA ResLife property over the phone at 4:43 p.m. on Nov. 20. The missing property included a flip-phone, 11 pairs of blue UA work pants, five UA polo shirts and two sets of keys.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer spoke with a current employee at El Portal, who said the former employee was last seen on Oct. 31. The custodian had worked at the UA for 3 years, and nobody knew why the former employee had left because she failed to return phone calls or emails. Due to this lapse of communication for two weeks, the employee subsequently voluntarily resigned.

When a UAPD officer spoke with the former employee on the telephone, she said her intentions were to return the missing items, but circumstances had prohibited her from doing so.

She wanted her final paycheck before returning the items, saying she lived 1.5 hours from Tucson, and would mail the property back. She was upset with the UA for requesting their items back so quickly, but agreed to return them in the mail.

Stress shots suck

A UA student was transported to the University of Arizona Medical Center after being found lying on the floor of a Villa Del Puente Residence Hall dorm room at 2:27 a.m. on Nov. 17. When UAPD arrived at her dorm, Tucson Fire Department was already on the scene and verified the woman was conscious and breathing, despite being unable to clearly speak.

TFD determined that the woman required further care at UAMC since she vomited several times during their visit and was generally incoherent. During TFD’s assessment, UAPD overheard the woman say she had drank four shots earlier in the night.

When a UAPD officer spoke with the student at UAMC, she repeated that she had drank four shots, and did so because she had been stressed from school. She and the officer discussed appropriate stress-management techniques. The student was cited and released on charges of minor in possession.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

At the end of the competition, the winning dares (ones that earn the most money) will be performed.

For example, let’s say John does not like to wear T-shirts with the ASU logo, but Leah would like to see John in a T-shirt that has the ASU logo, so Leah visits the OSFA and puts any amount of money she wants into a jar with John’s “dare” written on the side of it. If John’s jar has the most money at the end of the nomination period, John will have to wear the ASU T-shirt. Any donation will be accepted.

But remember, if you really want to see a specific dare performed (or want to avoid doing a dare), the jars with the most money will win. There’s a first, second and third place. Administration, inside the Office

do cops target girls who take Q Why their shoes off? How come I can’t wear my favorite shoes at night?

A . stagger) that gets you noticed by the police. Coincidentally, Turns out, it ain’t the shoes – it’s the way you walk (or

Brewster Rockit

most alcohol violations usually happen at night when ladies are more likely to be wearing high heels (or carrying them in their hands since their feet hurt). The Red Cup Q&A confirmed this observation with UAPD Crime Prevention officers.

Think about it: around campus during the day, most women wear comfortable shoes when going to class, hanging out in their residence hall, or walking to Campus Recreation. Favorites include flats, flip flops, athletic shoes, TOMS, etc. Do these shoes keep students safe from police scrutiny? NO. The reality is that few students exhibit intoxicated behavior during the school day, when wearing comfy shoes. It’s not the shoes that keep people out of trouble with cops. It’s the fact that they’re sober.

When the sun goes down, the fancy shoes and stilettos come out for parties or social events. And so does the alcohol. If you’re drawing attention to yourself, chances are it’s the booze... not your shoes.

response triggers your body to lose heat. Although alcohol-induced sweating may make you feel warm, the opposite is actually true.

When you sweat, your body loses heat, and your internal temperature drops. Hypothermia can be a risk, particularly in cold settings.

Some people, including those of Asian descent, may sweat more than others when drinking. They may also get a red or flushed look on their face from the effects of alcohol.

UA basketball returns from long break, Johnson becoming lockdown defender CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

The No. 9 Arizona (3-0) men’s basketball team has had a 10-day break between last week’s win over Long Beach State and Wednesday’s game with Northern Arizona, giving head coach Sean Miller time to adjust his team’s starting lineups in terms of which of his four frontcourt players will get the starting nod.

Against Long Beach State, Brandon Ashley got his first start at forward over fellow freshman Grant Jerrett and recorded the Wildcats’ first double-double of the season, scoring a team-high 20 points and 10 rebounds.

During Thanksgiving break, when many other teams played in national tournaments, Wildcat players remained in Tucson and practiced every day except Thursday. Miller was particularly impressed with the frontcourt.

“When I watch our frontcourt, it’s amazing how each one of those guys will have the best practice or for an extended period of time they will stand out, and I think that’s a healthy thing for this year’s team,” Miller said.

Nick Johnson becoming better defender

larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat

GUARD NICK JOHNSON has taken on the role former Wildcat Kyle Fogg had last year as Arizona’s go-to lockdown defender.

Former Wildcat guard Kyle Fogg was Arizona’s lockdown defender before he graduated after last season. His job, according to Miller, was to be “that one player you can point to where you know he’s going to guard the other team’s best wing player, and do it well.”

This season, that job looks to have fallen on sophomore guard Nick Johnson.

“Nick Johnson isn’t talked a lot about right now because he’s no longer a freshman, and a lot of the November conversations center around the newcomers and the oldest players, like Solomon [Hill],” Miller said. “Nick is doing a great job for our team. He is lightyears ahead of where he was as a defender than at any time a year ago. He learned a lot from Kyle. Nick takes his defense very seriously.”

Johnson helped to lock down Long Beach State’s leading scorer Mike Caffey to three points on seven shots on Nov. 19 and allowed him to only gather four rebounds in Arizona’s 94-72 win.

Miller ‘cherishes home games’

The Wildcats have played all five of their games — two exhibition and three regular season games — in McKale Center, and Miller has spent opening portions of each postgame press conference praising the atmosphere that the crowd and the ZonaZoo provide for Arizona.

Arizona’s first road game is Dec. 1 against Texas Tech, but Miller relishes the chance for one more home appearance.

“We cherish home games,” Miller said.

“No one has to give these guys a pep talk or smack on the butt for them to know that every game is a big game. When we play a home game, we want to be at our best and utilize the ZonaZoo and the energy that’s in our building to make this a very difficult place for our opponents.”

In three regular season games, the Wildcats have averaged a crowd of 13,820 per game, about 200 more than in home games last season.

Former Wildcat David Bagga: ‘The bench player that could’ CAMERON MOON Arizona Daily Wildcat

David Bagga isn’t a name that comes up when talking about great ex-Wildcat basketball players.

He was a walk-on with the UA and was not afforded the same playing time as former teammates Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger and Jerryd Bayless, all NBA Draft picks.

Bagga didn’t make it to the NBA, but the 6-foot-4, 180-pound guard from Foothill Ranch, Calif., decided he would use his experience as a walk-on in other ventures, specifically in book form.

Bagga chose to tell his story through a series of children’s books, the most recent, “The Bench Player That Could,” which went on sale on Amazon earlier this month.

Bagga is also the author of “The Walk On,” which is about his time at the UA and the process by which he came to be a Wildcat.

In Bagga’s final game at McKale Center against Stanford in 2009, he hit a 3-pointer in the waning moments that iced the win for Arizona, which was on a losing streak

Wrapping up the Arizona volleyball season Despite falling short of postseason play, the UA still had a few bright moments EMI KOMIYA Arizona Daily Wildcat

It was a rebuilding year for Arizona volleyball. The Wildcats lost four seniors from last year and head coach Dave Rubio’s 2012 roster boasted 10 new players, seven of which were new to Division I volleyball.

Rubio said during the season that the team is one of the most talented he’s had, but was too inexperienced to compete at the same level as the rest of the conference.

The Wildcats finished 16-15, 8-12 in the Pac-12 Conference.

MVP: Madi Kingdon, sophomore outside hitter

OUTSIDE HITTER MADI KINGDON is the Wildcats’ most valuable performer, as selected by the Daily Wildcat.

Like many of the freshmen this year, Kingdon had to step up last year and and take on a key role to help the team.

This season, Kingdon was essentially the glue that kept the team from falling apart.

Kingdon recorded 13 double doubles this season, and led the squad with 443 kills out of the most attempts (1240).

She also fell second in digs to libero

Magill emerged as one of the most efficient hitters on the team with a .328 hitting percentage. She put up solid blocking statistics, with 10 and 94 assist blocks.

Unsung hero: Rachel Rhoades, sophomore middle blocker

Rachel Rhoades was one of the few returning players for the squad. She didn’t take the most swings or complete the most blocks but is one of the most reliable players on offense.

Rhoades led the team in efficiency with a .341 hitting percentage and provided a quiet leadership on the court — and the team clearly missed her when she missed a few matches due to a concussion.

They said it

“It’s crazy to see how much this team has changed … it was all just rebuilding and getting our skills down and stuff, and you can just really see a change — work ethic and skill wise.”

– setter Chanel Brown “It’s in our sites for the future. As long as we keep getting better and play to our level, a very high level, then we definitely have the talent and the mind-set. If we can put both of those together I think we can be really dominant in the future.”
