City won’t fund UA road repairs KYLE MITTAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

University streets don’t fall under Proposition 409’s plans for reparations, but a 10-year plan from UA Facilities Management, along with streetcar work, will aim to address campus roads that some say are in need of repaving.

The proposition, which passed on election night with a 50.33 percent “yes” vote, granted a $100-million bond to the city of Tucson to “restore, repair and resurface” streets within the city limits across five years, according to the proposition’s page on the city’s website.

But repairs to come in result of the proposition’s passage won’t cover streets on the university campus, said Steve Kozachik, a city councilman for Tucson’s Ward 6, which includes the university. With a few exceptions, the

UA’s streets remain separate from the city, leaving 409’s repairs to have “no bearing at all” over areas within the university’s square-mile campus.

But a 10-year plan for campus street reparations aims to address a number of issues, and past repairs have already done so, said Chris Kopach, the assistant vice president for Facilities Management. Kopach added that the plan is still waiting for funding approval, and is calling for anywhere between $250,000 to $500,000.

The plan would also address more than just a few streets, Kopach said.

“We’ve gone through this entire campus — north campus and main campus,” he said. “We’ve looked at all our streets, all our sidewalks, all our handicap ramps, and we have all those prioritized, those that need

BRIANA SANCHEZ/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT THIS POTHOLE ALONG SIXTH STREET is one of several that will be fixed during repairs that will come after the passage of Proposition 409. The proposition does not include streets on campus, but a 10-year plan by Facilities Management awaiting funding aims to address a number of concerns.

Club hopes it can help local school stay open SARAH-JAYNE SIMON Arizona Daily Wildcat

A campus club aims to use its expertise in marketing to keep the doors open on a local elementary school that the TUSD board intends to close.

AdCats, a student-run advertising agency, teamed up with Manzo Elementary to do their integrated marketing campaign that includes print, interactive and social media.

Hope Jensen Schau, the associate dean of Eller Masters in Business Administration Programs, told the club about the project, said Corey Malley, a marketing senior and AdCats account director.

After a break in traffic, the man proceeded to turn into the intersection in front of the woman.

Green Fund tables allocation requests BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

Members of the UA Green Fund Committee discussed project alteration requests, voted on minigrant proposals and addressed concerns regarding the allocation of money at their second open meeting of the year.

Lauren Erdelyi, chair of the Green Fund and a senior studying psychology and conservation biology opened the floor for new business regarding mini-grant proposals and asked for any questions, concerns or comments from fellow members.

A motion to extend the request of the UA’s School Garden Workshop Showcase grant proposal passed unanimously, and a motion to table the discussion on a mini-grant regarding the UA Community and School Garden Outreach T-shirts also passed with

a slight majority.

Member Logan Bilby then moved to open discussion on a project alteration request that includes “promoting student leadership and sustainability education on campus and in the community.”

Members unanimously voted to approve the extension request for the proposal and then moved on to discuss another request known as Improving the Sustainability of the Chemical Engineering Unit Operations Laboratory with Cooling Water Recirculation.

The Chemical and Environmental Engineering department proposed the project and funds were approved in the previous year.

However, some members questioned the request that some of the money from the funds be

involved with,” she added.

AdCats organizes various events to promote their clients. On Dec. 7 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the school will host an event with the help of AdCats to put one last final effort into changing Tuscon Unified School District’s mind about the closure.

Manzo is working to implement native habitat into its landscaping, courtyards, parking lots, playgrounds and sports fields, said Manzo’s school counselor Moses Thompson.

“I hope that we inspire the community and that the community comes and sees Manzo as a flagship of innovation for TUSD,” Thompson said.

Tucson Catalina Church of Midtown adopted Manzo last year and gave a check of $35,000 to the

elementary school with no strings attached, Thompson said.

“The church was looking to fund an education program that would promote literacy in fourth graders,” she added.

Manzo administrators have wanted to build a greenhouse for some time and they were finally able to after the church adopted the school, Thompson said. The event next week will showcase the finished project.

Thompson added that much of the work to build the greenhouse, including digging trenches and placing gravel, was done by the school’s students.

“I hope the students leave with a sense of pride,” she said.

The TUSD school board will likely have a final decision on whether to close the school by Dec. 18. The board decided to close a number of schools in the district due to budget

constraints.

“Everything we build we involve our students in,” Thompson said.

“We want them to feel a connection with our school. The students have a lot to be proud of, and mentally, it encourages hard work, and they are able to see project through the completion. I think Friday will highlight that.”

Manzo stresses the importance of their reconciliation ecology program, which is the science of accommodating wild species within occupied landscapes.

“Ultimately, we hope this event keeps the school open and shows people what an amazing place Manzo is so they can be aware and support the school,” Malley said. “I hope they see that a lot can be done at a young age, and at a school in an area that doesn’t seem so great and has low test scores can still do great things.”

repairs. And we’d go ahead and start addressing those.”

Kopach added that Park Avenue, including the section that runs through campus, belongs to the city, and is in need of repair. There are no plans to address this section of the street, according to the proposition’s website.

Regardless of the plans to repair campus streets, some said that the need for repaving city streets is far greater than on campus.

“Drive up and down Grant Road some time,” Kozachik said. “You’d be lucky to still have the teeth in your mouth.”

Pablo Rodriguez said he drives through campus nearly every day to pick up his wife, a graduate student.

He said he agrees with Kozachik, admitting that campus streets aren’t quite as bad as others throughout Tucson.

“If you compare it with two blocks from here where the streets

are really bad, the streets are fine,” Rodriguez said, pointing west from Main Gate Square. “They aren’t perfect, but I guess they’re fine.”

But some campus-goers, especially those who spend most of their time on bicycles, said that some areas need to be addressed.

“There’s a lot of cracks from the weather and stuff, so it makes a lot of the rides quite bumpy and unpleasant,” said Gilbert Rataezyk, a physics sophomore. “I’m not sure about … prioritizing where the money would go, but I would definitely like to see them in better condition.”

Valeria Armendariz, a psychology sophomore, said her main concern was navigating potholes on a bicycle when it gets dark, which she said is difficult to do even with lights.

Road construction for Proposition 409 repairs is expected to begin during the 2014 fiscal year. Street renovations will address at least portions of road on the university’s four bordering streets during the five-year period.

Class teaches students to be ‘world’s experts’ on stars EMILY BERKSON for the Arizona Daily Wildcat

Tom Fleming’s Stars course isn’t like most gen-eds on campus.

The Tier 2 Natural Sciences course features learning to create fire without a match, critiquing the science in a Star Trek episode and plenty of time spent gazing at the night sky.

When given the chance to create a Tier 2 class, Fleming jumped at it.

“We’re going to go in depth,” he said. “In the introductory course, we spend at most one lecture on black holes. Well, we’re going to spend a whole week on black holes. But more than that, so the students can really understand why black holes are so weird, we’re going to do special relativity.”

Studying the physics of black holes may sound a bit math-intensive, but Fleming quickly reminds his students that “mathematical” is not a dirty word. Not much math is needed

to understand why black holes are so powerful and how elements were formed that make up our Earth today, he said.

But Fleming also realizes the need for a “romantic” counterpart to physics-based astronomy.

“That’s why we’re also going to do constellations,” he said. “We’re going to study how other cultures saw the stars and the stories behind the constellations. And, in fact, I’m going to get students under the night sky, and we’re going to look up at the stars.”

The class includes a field trip to Saguaro National Park West, where dark skies allow for optimal stargazing. Amateur astronomers typically attend the viewings with telescopes for group viewing, as well as students who have taken the class in previous semesters.

At the beginning of each semester, students are assigned their own star.

“They’re told they have to become the world’s expert on that

star,” Fleming said. “When they’re done, they’re going to know more about that star than 99.9 percent of all the people on this planet. They have to write a report about it, and I’m hoping that each class, they’re thinking about how their star relates to today’s topic.”

After teaching Stars the same way for 12 years, he revamped the class to offer it in Flandrau Science Center and Planetarium rather than Centennial Hall.

“As someone who really appreciates having a direct learning experience, I really like being in Flandrau,” said Ashley Edson, a special education major.

Above all else, though, Fleming loves his job, and he relishes every moment.

“After I teach a class, I feel like I’ve performed in a three-hour Broadway show,” he said. “I get to act out. I consider my Stars class my show, and I hope some people appreciate it.”

“This kind of request, for me, is a little bit hard to

LOS ANGELES — The chef who told authorities that he accidentally killed his wife and cooked her body to dispose of it fired his attorney Tuesday and will represent himself when he is sentenced in February.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Rand S. Rubin warned David Viens that “there is a danger to representing yourself ” and he’d get “no special indulgence” from the court. Viens, who was convicted earlier this year of second-degree murder, which carries a sentence of 15 years to life in prison, said he understood.

Viens dismissed his attorney, Fred McCurry, with a soft “thank you, Fred.” He had tried to get rid of McCurry during his trial, a request Rubin denied because it was made too late in the proceedings.

“Thank you for letting me go pro-per. I appreciate that,” said Viens, who appeared in court Tuesday in a wheelchair wearing gray jail garb and glasses that dangled from a string around his neck. The sister and father

of his wife, Dawn, looked visibly pained that the proceedings would drag on.

Viens was polite, addressing the judge as “your honor,” and had arrived in court with several handwritten motions, which were not immediately available to reporters.

Rubin gave him a January deadline to file any other requests and allotted him $60 to make phone calls from jail before his Feb. 1 sentencing.

Dawn Viens was 39 when she vanished in October 2009.

After her husband learned in February 2011 that investigators suspected he’d played a role in her disappearance, he leaped off an 80-foot cliff in Rancho Palos Verdes.

From his hospital bed, David Viens described to sheriff ’s investigators why authorities never found his wife’s body.

He said he packed it into a large drum of boiling water, held it down with weights and simmered it over four days.

Then, he said, he poured much of what remained into the grease pit at his Lomita restaurant, Thyme Contemporary Cafe.

Finals test patience, but not much else Jason Krell Arizona Daily Wildcat

F

inals are coming up — as if anyone failed to notice the general increase of panic on campus — and students are busy studying material they should have learned weeks ago.

In reality though, they should be studying the point of taking finals, and whether exams even accomplish anything in the first place.

The question of how to educate society has an elusive answer.

Many people learn differently than their peers. Some prefer visual or auditory learning styles. Others may learn better while working in groups or working alone.

But the one constant question many students continue to ask each semester is, “Why do I have to take a final?”

A final doesn’t do anyone much benefit at all. For most students, finals week just involves either frantic or massive amounts of studying — and sometimes both.

There’s no real learning going on, as students are either reminding themselves of what they’ve already learned or cramming for the sake of passing their test before completely forgetting everything they’ve just freaked out about for the last week.

Students are paying to learn, so learn they should.

The problem goes beyond finals though, and extends to tests in general, term papers and even the grading system.

Grades are inherently subjective, notes a recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education, and how the differences between universities, departments and teachers makes tests difficult to use as a universal measuring stick of how much a student has learned.

Similarly, a Chronicle blog post written by G. Kim Blank, a writing adviser and English literature professor at the University of Victoria, laments the uselessness of the term paper, citing the rapidly degenerating writing skills of college students and the dry, ineffective format they’re taught to write in.

Isn’t there a better way to not only measure how much a student has learned during a semester, but also teach them more too?

There’s a pretty simple solution.

Grades have to stay, out of necessity. There has to be a standardized way for people to say “yes, this person knows what he or she is doing” and “this person is a work in progress.” The fourpoint scale — in which A’s are worth four points toward your grade point average, losing a point for each letter grade — is easy to communicate and uncomplicated.

Admittedly, letter grades will always be kind of a crap-shoot, since teachers can usually grade how they like to an extent, but there’s just no better way.

As for final exams and term papers, though? Just get rid of them entirely. If a teacher is resorting to a midterm and a final (whether that’s an exam or an essay) to make sure the student knows what’s going on, then the teacher isn’t really engaging the class and doing his or her job.

The Chronicle notes that teachers are hard pressed to measure the progress of so many students (a problem that only gets worse as class sizes increase), but it’s not fair to take out a university’s inability to hire more teachers on students, who are paying to learn and for a set of credentials that can make or break their future.

Online comments

Your views In response to “Guest Column: For youth of Gaza, tackle root causes of Israel conflict” (by Britain Eakin, Nov. 27): I loved the fact that you emphasize we need to get to the root causes of the conflict as well as recognizing that neither Israel nor the Palestinians are on equal footing. Israel is quite certainly the occupier while Palestine is the occupied. Not to mention a siege is being waged on Gaza and that does not seem to be shown the media.

U.S. politicians seem to think that you can send money to Israel blindly and not look at the effect it has on the Palestinians living under a siege. No one is suggesting they should not be Israel’s ally but there need to be conditions on the aid they give them, such as following international law.

— SA I find it hard to believe that a country that gives full rights to its Arab citizens is one that denies it to an entire people.

I will agree with you, the blockade is devastating to Gaza, but so are the terror attacks coming from the region. The elementary mistake here is to assume that if the Israeli side were to lift the blockade and not protect its borders that this entire conflict would cease to be a conflict. If you haven’t read Hamas’ charter, it very clearly says that the entire land of Israel/Palestine is to be taken back by killing the Jews (not Israelis) who inhabit it.

Thus, it’s ironic that you claim the Israelis are responsible for ethnic cleansing when it is very clearly defined in the charter of the ruling organization in the Gaza Strip. Your mistake is assuming that Israel’s problem with Gaza is Palestinians, when it is, in fact, Hamas.

— Alec

But what is the origin of Hamas? This is precisely Britain’s key point.

There’s a history to everything that’s happening in Gaza today, but it’s reported as shallow, tit-for-tat nonsense in the U.S. media. Hamas, however you feel about them, sprang from a profoundly unjust circumstance.

The goal should be to address injustice, not its consequences.

— murphywoodhouse Well said, Britain. Thanks for shedding light on the reality of the situation in Palestine. The Israeli government has been rounding up Palestinians and throwing them behind “security fences,” enforcing segregated roads, maintaining a six year blockade on Gaza, etc.

Israelis do not want to deal with the situation directly. They mistakenly believe that if they simply cannot see the Palestinians, then the “problem” will solve itself. This is proving to be erroneous more than ever today. ~in solidarity~ — Noel Rose In response to “Group gives Mall presentation on history of Thanksgiving, offends some students” (by Stephanie Casanova and Kyle Wasson, Nov. 21): If you think this pageant misrepresents the historical role of the American Indian in Thanksgiving then at least write a factual and logical historical argument as to why it’s offensive and inaccurate. I would probably agree. But just complaining that you’re offended is intellectually lazy and the opposite of courageous.

Why don’t you put on your own Thanksgiving pageant that tells the story you want? Because that involves hard work and planning. It’s much easier in today’s society to criticize someone else’s hard work as “offensive” and get free newspaper publicity for it.

Part of what separates an adult from a child emotionally and intellectually is the understanding that just because you throw a tantrum does not mean the rest of the world has an obligation to coddle and soothe you.

On college campuses, faculty must take part in discussions about safety

T

o support campus prevention efforts — on sexual assault, hazing, drug abuse and other issues— universities must recognize that every campus community member has to be involved.

Most prevention efforts to combat student issues like relationship violence, alcohol abuse, drug addiction, etc., are facilitated by student affairs offices or college health centers that distribute literature or offer lectures.

At the UA, Campus Health Service offers a number of programs through its Health Promotion and Preventive Services, including the Oasis Program, which aims to reduce sexual assault. In general, these services are aimed almost exclusively at students.

But prevention experts are turning to more comprehensive approaches to preventing crimes like sexual assault on campus. Including faculty in a conversation that typically involves student affairs officials and students was a focal point of last month’s annual conference of SCOPE: School and College Organization of Prevention Educators, said executive director Michelle N. Issadore.

Working with faculty is the “holy grail” for prevention educators because of their relationship with students, Issadore said in an interview with Inside Higher Ed. “It reinforces the notion that prevention is important.”

Last month, Amherst College’s Board of Trustees promised to combat a campus culture that critics characterized as misogynistic and

sexist. The college came under fire in early October after the student newspaper published an op-ed by a former student, who alleged that she had been sexually assaulted and that administrators swept her case under the rug.

In May, the U.S. Justice Department opened multiple investigations into the handling of sexual assault allegations at the University of Montana, in its hometown of Missoula. The university, the Missoula Police Department and the county attorney came under fire for how it handled at least 11 reported sexual assaults involving UM students over an 18-month period.

Several cases involved allegations against football players, and the university fired its athletic director and head football coach in March.

Situations like those occur on every college campus, and they only describe reported assaults. According to Department of Justice statistics from 2000, 95 percent of attacks go unreported.

In a statement, Amherst’s Board of Trustees said university President Biddy Martin “has made it clear that the issue of sexual misconduct and assault is of the highest priority.”

After the op-ed written by the rape survivor went viral, Martin told students that “some of you talked to me last year, and said you thought the College’s policies, procedures and practices were not adequate, or that they had problems that prevented you from coming forward,” according to the Amherst Student.

Involving faculty in prevention efforts sends a message to students that they do matter, and authority figures in their lives can be relied on when they need them most. Additionally, involving faculty makes them more aware of the issues, which are not necessarily limited to students and may also affect campus employees.

Programs like “Don’t Cancel That Class,” through which faculty can schedule prevention lectures when they know in advance or at the last minute that they cannot make a class they’re scheduled to teach, enable faculty to take initiative in campus prevention efforts.

Similarly, the UA’s Campus Health Service’s website lets users request presentations on alcohol and drugs, relationship violence, sexual assault and other issues.

Most students don’t regularly see health and prevention educators half as often as they see professors, with whom they’re more likely to form a solid relationship and trust. Faculty, at the UA and universities across the country, have more influence in students’ lives than people realize, and they have a responsibility to use their power to create solutions.

MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

No slap on the wrist this time

A man was arrested after interrupting a performance at the Stevie Eller Dance Theatre by announcing he had the cure for cancer in a bottle at 9:01 p.m. on Nov. 17. The University of Arizona Police Department was notified about a man making disturbances, causing the performance to be stopped.

When UAPD arrived at the theater, they located someone who matched the description of the man wearing blue medical garments in the lobby. Earlier that day, at 2:38 p.m., the non-UA affiliated man was issued a warning not to return to the theater after cursing and making masturbation gestures at a dance group. He was told any subsequential appearances would lead to his arrest.

When a UAPD officer handcuffed the man, asking if he remembered this initial warning, he replied with an unrelated tangent.

The man continued expressing random thoughts throughout his interaction with UAPD, up until being placed in the Pima County Adult Detention Center. The man was arrested on charges of criminal trespassing and given a six-month exclusionary order from campus.

Breaking bad bike thiefs

A UAPD officer arrested a man on charges of possessing drug paraphernalia, which were used to smoke methamphetamine, near Arbol de la Vida Residence Hall at 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 19.

A UAPD officer noticed the non-UA affiliate tampering with bikes outside the dorm before riding away after an officer’s attempt to contact him. He was then located and spoken to at a nearby corner.

The man said he understood why police would want to speak with him, adding that the bike he was riding was his girlfriend’s. A partially unzipped black backpack the man was wearing exposed an orange wire cutter inside the bag.

Throughout the conversation, the man changed his story as to why he was on campus, and appeared nervous.

The officer patted the man down to ensure safety, revealing a glass pipe. The suspect was read his Miranda Rights before telling the officer he had used the pipe for smoking methamphetamine. Additionally, a search of his bag uncovered a bolt cutter and a small band saw.

UAPD reached the man’s girlfriend, who only identified herself by first name, but was able to provide an accurate description of the man’s bike. The bike was given back to the man, and he was cited and released on charges of possessing drug paraphernalia.

Familiar facE UA alumnus, NAU head coach Jack Murphy returns to McKale

ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

Jack Murphy has fond memories of the Arizona basketball team.

A UA alumnus, he was the member of former Wildcat coach Lute Olson’s staff for eight years.

He was a part of 199 wins, three Pac-10 championships, eight NCAA tournament appearances, two elite eights and one national championship berth.

At 8 tonight, he returns to McKale Center as the new NAU head coach when the Lumberjacks (2-3) take on No. 9 Arizona (3-0). It will be his first time back in Tucson since Sean Miller was introduced as the UA head coach in 2009.

“I am excited,” Murphy said. “I wish we weren’t playing Arizona back there, but I’m excited to get back to Tucson.”

It won’t be Murphy’s first time facing off on his former stomping grounds, though.

As an assistant coach at Memphis two seasons ago, working for former UA assistant and current Tigers head coach Josh Pastner, Murphy faced the Wildcats in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Thanks to a last second block from former Wildcat Derrick Williams, Arizona won the game 77-75.

Courtesy of NAU media relations NAU HEAD COACH Jack Murphy is no stranger to the Arizona Wildcats basketball program, and will coach against the Wildcats for the first time in Tucson tonight at 8 p.m.

“It was strange,” Murphy said.

“Walking out of the tunnel and hearing ‘Bear Down’ played by the band, it was strange. Being on the opposite bench was different. That’s why I don’t think Wednesday [against Arizona] will be as weird for me — I’ve already

gone through it.”

The Lumberjacks aren’t quite as talented as that Memphis team was, though — NAU finished with a 5-24 record last season before hiring Murphy.

With his experience at major college basketball programs like

Memphis and Arizona, along with his three-year stint as an advance scout with the Denver Nuggets, NAU doesn’t exactly sound like the most ideal job opportunity.

The Lumberjacks have appeared in just two NCAA tournaments, in 1998 and 2000, and have won

20 or more games a season just twice in the last 10 years. Plus, NAU will always have a tough time competing with the UA and ASU for attention.

Murphy said he doesn’t believe NAU is competing with its in-state counterparts and said he feels the school’s location in Flagstaff is a major plus.

“You can be an NAU fan and still love the ’Cats or still love the Sun Devils,” Murphy said. “We’re really not recruiting against ASU or U of A, and if we are it’s more an indictment on them than it is us.”

The Lumberjacks are led by senior and freshman guards Gabe Rogers and DeWayne Russell, who score 16.6 and 15.8 points per game, respectively, and Miller said their scoring prowess “catches your attention.” Miller said he is particularly excited to coach against Murphy, who he considers “a part of our Arizona family.”

Miller and Murphy have never worked together, but Miller said that he has used Murphy as a resource ever since he came to the UA. “He’s always been a very big help,” Miller said. “He’s someone who loves our basketball program and loves the university. He has one of those personalities that you can’t help but like, and you can really sense that, with him taking over the NAU program.”

Inconsistency, turnovers plague women’s hoops Iman Hamdan Arizona Daily Wildcat

W

ith seven of its 12 nonconference games on the road, the Arizona women’s basketball team has the odds stacked against it. But so far, the Wildcats have done a solid job.

In four road games, the team is 3-1 with their only loss coming during the Junkanoo Jam tournament to UTEP 64-53.

The team has already traveled to California, Las Vegas and the Bahamas. The Wildcats will end the current road-stretch by traveling to Texas, New Mexico and back to the Golden State.

Even with a nice start to the season, Arizona lost to BYU at home, with a score of 62-48.

Regardless of the final score, the main concern for the team is consistency. Right now senior guard Davellyn Whyte is the top performer, putting up double-digit scores every game, but even that isn’t enough sometimes.

John routh/arizona Daily Wildcat The only two other players that THE WILDCATS HAVE had a tough start to the season, due in part to the amount of turnovers have double-digit scoring in two and discrepancy in scoring.

is actually beneficial in these circumstances.

However, even with the depth, putting the right five that work together offensively and shut down opponents defensively on the floor is somewhat of a challenge.

Whyte has played 30-plus minutes in five games, and in one game she has played the entire 40 minutes. Clocking that many minutes will take its toll, especially come Pac-12 play, which is another reason why the forwards need to step up and dominate in the paint.

Between the three forwards with significant playing time, Barnes, Gloyd and Cheshi Poston, what they lack in height and size they make up with aggression — but they still have yet to reach their full potential.

With five games left before conference play begins, it will be very important for the forwards to get into a rhythm of scoring and turning the offense into a threewoman force rather than a lone all-star show.

or more games are junior transfer forward Alli Gloyd and junior forward Erica Barnes.

To put things into perspective, Whyte scored a total of 83 field goal shots so far this season to Gloyd’s 56 and Barnes’ 46.

Granted, Whyte is the shooting guard on the team, but when the two forwards’ combined field goal attempts are only 19 more than the shooting guard’s, there is an issue.

Beyond consistency with scoring, turnovers have also posed a threat to the Wildcats’ success — a mixture of overpassing, forcing passes and not taking care of the ball.

Arizona averages 22 turnovers a game, with its season-high being 25 turnovers against UTEP on Nov. 23 and against Texas Southern on Nov. 24, and its lowest being 14 against UNLV on — Iman Hamdan is a journalism Nov. 13.

Training helps UA diver overcome fear of 10-meter EVAN ROSENFELD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman diver Rafael Quintero, a 2011 U.S. Junior National Champion, started off as an avid gymnast at the age of 5 until his passion for diving developed.

“When I started, I would dive just once a month,” Quintero said.

“As I began getting better and better, I found myself wanting to perform more and more. There was something about the sport that gave me more satisfaction than what I was getting in gymnastics.

That was when I decided to make the final switch from gymnastics to diving.”

By 17, Quintero decided to move to the United States from Puerto Rico and train with YCF Diving in order to improve his technique and earn a scholarship to a college diving program. He soon learned eight new dives off of the 10-meter platform, and mastered his

springboard dives.

“I just try to focus on all of the corrections my coach tells me,” Quintero said. “I try not to focus on the outcome.”

After his training with YCF, Quintero was eventually named the U.S. Junior National Champion in the platform event in 2011. That fall, Quintero visited many different universities before joining the UA. “Arizona has a really good swimming and diving program,” Quintero said. “I really looked forward to training with [former Arizona diver] Omar [Ojeda], the new diving coach. He dove here and he used to dive back with my old coach in Puerto Rico — that was a connection that made me feel close to home.”

Quintero said he has enjoyed the Wildcats’ recent success this season and placed first in the 3-meter dive against USC on Nov. 9. His teammates are happy too.

“I love Rafa,” freshman diver

Dominic Ricotta said. “He’s really good and he really motivates the team well. We are expecting to see where he can go, especially with platform and 3-meter this year.

I think he can have a really good season.”

Quintero represented Puerto Rico in the Pan American games and subsequently went on to compete in the 2012 Central American Games.

Quintero also said that, recently, the 10-meter platform has become his best and favorite event, even though when he first started diving, it was the event he feared the most.

“It took me months of training to get over the fear, but I persevered,” Quintero said. “Today, when I dive the 10-meter, I know as soon as I hit the water whether I did the dive correctly or not. If it’s good, I feel great. If I didn’t do the dive the way I wanted to, it’s a bummer. My goal is to feel great every time I jump off the board.”
