Primary care physicians are seen as overworked and underpaid by many students entering the medical field. This perception may contribute to the national shortage in the field. Positions in family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics offered to graduating medical students have gone unfilled for the past several years. In 2010, about 33 percent of medical school graduates entered primary care, according to the National Resident Matching Program. The UA College of Medicine exceeded the national average by sending about 38 percent of its 110 May graduates into primary care. “It’s definitely on our radar screen,” said Kevin Moynahan, a primary care physician and deputy dean of education for the College of Medicine. “We’re very proud of that.” The shortage continues to affect patients, especially in rural or underserved areas. Arizona is particularly in need, ranking 43rd in the nation in its ratio of primary care physicians to population, according to the United Health Foundation.

Giffords, Grijalva Republicans hope confident of victory for comeback as as polls close numbers come in By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Midterm election results were still unknown for Reps. Gabrielle Giffords and Raúl Gijalva by press time last night. Giffords represents Congressional District 8, and Raúl Gijalva represents Congressional District 7. A crowd of Democrats gathered in the ballroom of the Mariott hotel, at 880 E. Second St., awaiting results People flaunted stickers and signs supporting the candidates and were proud to vote blue. Ernie Freuler said he believes Democratic is the way to go, “I believe that Democrats are more in touch with the human side of the nation.” He said that people have to believe that corporations cannot run and rule people. Freuler is working part time now, because his company was shut down. Another supporter Sarah Anand, a junior majoring in political science and economics, was handing out stickers in support of Giffords. She had interned with her this past summer and said that she worked in her office and was able to spread awareness about her campaign. “The fact that she’s a female politician is really inspiring,” Anand said. “I really believe

in her and I believe she has Arizona’s best interest.” She said that she feels students do not recognize the importance of these elections and focus more on the presidential elections, which is unfortunate. In a brief speech while awaiting the results Giffords stood on stage and thanked everyone for their support and said, “ While other politicians bring a crowd, we have built a community.” She added that she ran a race to be proud of and her campaign was a model for the rest of the country. Rodney Glassman ran against Sen. John McCain for the Senate seat and people in the crowd were displeased with Glassman’s loss. “I don’t feel I am going to be represented well,” said Jeff Mendelsohn who worked on Glassman’s campaign. He said a few days a week he would make about 75 to 100 phone calls in support of Glassman, who fell to McCain. “It was about running a positive campaign focused on jobs, education and the future of Arizona,” Glassman said. “That’s what we said we were going to do, that’s what we were able to do and we are proud of it; we are proud of the campaign and we are hoping to move forward.” Check dailywildcat.com for updated election coverage.

By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Republican candidates were hopeful as the results creeped in, showing close races at the state level. Jesse Kelly, the Republican candidate running for U.S. Representative for Congressional District 8, assured the audience that he’s “never lost an election,” as voters waited for election results. The Republican election party was held Tuesday night at the Double Tree Hotel in Tucson. “The news is there’s no news right now,” Kelly said. “The ballots are slowly creeping in. We’re down about four, we were down six, then we’re down five, then we’re down four-and-a-half, now we’re down four — and less than half of them have been returned yet, so it looks like it’s going to be tight like we thought it was.” “Two years ago when Obama was nominated … who would’ve thought we would have a night like this tonight,” said Rep. Vick Williams of Legislative District 26. The GOP won the majority in the House of Representatives, while Democrats seemed to be taking the lead in occupying the

Senate seats. Ken Smalley, who is in the running for Legislative District 28 in the House of Representatives, said that he believes the Republican Party has a really good chance. Smalley said his opponent seemed to be only ahead of him by one or two points, which was a great feat in itself. Jon Justice, of local radio station 104.1 “The Truth,” introduced Ruth McClung, Republican candidate for Congressional District 7. “So far it’s neck-and-neck. That says volumes. It’s an unbelievable start.” McClung reiterated that the race was close. “As we’re watching the results come in, we really are neck-andneck … I’ll admit I’m very nervous,” McClung said. “We are too!” someone shouted from the audience. “We’re all in this biting our nails together,” said McClung. Frank Antenoir, candidate for Arizona state Senate, said “I want everybody to savor the moment. You all deserve to enjoy the victory of a hard won battle. It’s only part of the war … We’ve got to get this state back on some financial ground, we’ve got to get our country back on some financial ground.”

“I think having a doctor who cares for you and knows you as a human being should be the cornerstone of the U.S. healthcare system,” Moynahan said. The field may appear unattractive to medical students because of the patient load and the amount of paperwork primary care physicians handle, Moynahan added. “The system as it stands now makes the life of a primary care practitioner kind of chaotic,” Moynahan said. “People see that when they rotate. They see a lot of very busy people with a lot of responsibilities.” Michelle Aguilar graduated from the College of Medicine in May and is an intern in pediatrics at University Medical Center. She said students can be deterred by the challenges of the field. “If you’re a primary care physician, you have to have a broad knowledge of many, many things, which can be overwhelming and daunting,” Aguilar said. Salary is also a concern, according to Aguilar, since primary care physicians do not make as much money as doctors who specialize. She said this concern is greater in PRIMARY CARE, page A3

history sophomore How do you feel about fake IDs? I guess in my opinion, they’re OK as long as you don’t get caught. It kind of depends what you are using them for. If you are using them to buy cigarettes that’s probably OK, if you’re going to buy alcohol in large quantities, probably not OK. You don’t need to say if you have one or not, but do you know a lot of people that use them or do you feel pressured to get one if you have friends already turning 21? I don’t really feel the pressure to get one, but I definitely have friends that own one. I’m 20, close to 21 now, so there’s not much incentive to get one. Exactly, you don’t want to ruin the fun of turning 21. Right, ‘cause it just cheapens it. Did you vote today? No, I am not an Arizona resident. Well did you mail in your early ballot? No, I did not. Where are you from? I’m from Georgia. I love asking people this: what is, like, the biggest difference you see from the South and the West, what is most shocking to you about the West coast? No trees. Like driving down the highway, you can see everything. What about the people? Everybody here is, like, really kind of uptight. Down south it’s really chill, very relaxed. Down south is a bit more neighborly. Do you know all your neighbors now? Yeah, I live at Gateway — we know our neighbors. We throw parties, they come over. Did you guys make baked goods when moving in to get acquainted or how did that work? No, they baked us brownies and we threw a party, so it was kind of a trade. That’s definitely a southern tradition, getting acquainted with the neighbors. Any nights without sleep recently? Yeah, it’s crunch time all the essays are due. I didn’t sleep last night I had to write a Civil War paper that was 13 pages long. What is the longest paper you have written here are the UA? That would be last year, a 20-page paper for a core class for extra credit. I’m hoping you got an A in that class. Yeah, I got ten points extra credit and I did. OK, good. How does the barbeque chicken here relate to that Georgia barbeque? OK, the barbeque chicken in Georgia is way better than it is here. But the Mexican food here is way better than it is in Georgia. There is almost too much Mexican food here.

Gaga 101: College gives course on ‘The Fame’ of Lady Gaga At most colleges, students who want to study the stars must enroll in an astronomy course. But at the University of South Carolina, starstruck undergrads need look no further than “Lady Gaga and the Sociology of the Fame” — a new class offered this spring. Sociology professor and Lady Gaga fan Mathieu Deflem told campus paper The Daily Gamecock that the course will examine the social construction of fame, which gave rise to “The Fame Monster” herself. “We’re going to look at Lady

Gaga as a social event,” said Deflem, who maintains the Gaga fan site GagaFrontRow.net. “So it’s not the person, and it’s not the music. It’s more this thing out there in society that has 10 million followers on Facebook and 6 million on Twitter. I mean, that’s a social phenomenon. It’s a global social phenomenon.” Deflem has already set up a class website where students — and curious Lady Gaga lovers — can keep up with the course. According to the school’s official class description, the course

will be “relatively challenging” due to required reading and homework, which is expected to take at least three to four hours per week on top of the lectures. Deflem told The New York Times he has met Lady Gaga five times — and hopes she’ll find a way to guest lecture between her busy tour schedule. “I will get the word out to her that I’m doing the course,” he told the paper, “but it might be logistically too difficult for her to come.” — AOL News

Republicans seize House majority, set to battle White House agenda

McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON — Firmly under Republican control for the first time in four years, the U.S. House of Representatives promises to become the key battleground for a coming assault on Obama administration policies, from health care to taxes to federal spending. The GOP roared past the 39-seat gain needed to retake control of House in Tuesday’s election and appeared headed to a historic rout — with some projections showing an increase of 50 or more seats, threatening to surpass the 52-seat swing in 1994’s so-called “Republican Revolution.” The decisive Republican surge raised the possibility of the Democratic Party falling below 200 seats in the 435-seat House for the first time since 1948. John Boehner of Ohio, expected to be the new Speaker of the House, pledged an aggressive agenda in remarks at a rally in Washington late Tuesday. “This is not a time for celebration,” Boehner said. “This is a time to roll up our sleeves and get to work.” Boehner grew emotional as he spoke, nearing tears as he said, “I’ve spent my life chasing the American dream,” and the ballroom crowd chanted, “USA!” It was a notable moment that captured how far the party had come from two years ago, when it lay at its lowest ebb. The wave crashed down on Democratic veterans and firsttermers alike, sending them to defeat in every region of the country. The GOP was close to claiming four seats in traditionally Democratic New York state, while Democratic committee chairmen such as Reps. John Spratt of South Carolina and Ike Skelton of Missouri went down. All year, Republican candidates have run against the polices set forth by President Barack Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress. But campaigning and governing are vastly different missions — a lesson that was imparted to congressional

Democrats in this midterm election. Now, many of those victorious GOP candidates will be charged with legislating, rather than tossing barbs at the opposition. Boehner would preside over what could be an unruly majority, filled with a bevy of neophyte representatives who have vowed to shrink the size of government, curtail federal spending and repeal the health care overhaul Obama made a centerpiece of his early agenda. At the same time, Boehner and the GOP will be tasked with keeping the government running, an issue that could surface early in his reign if the lame-duck Congress fails to pass a sweeping funding measure in the next month. “He’s got to figure out how to put together a majority that can vote to fund the government,” said Vin Weber, a former Republican congressman from Minnesota. Many of the new members “will be allergic to spending votes.” Given the heavy Republican gains, Boehner will have some breathing room. He’ll also potentially be able to attract moderate Democrats — that is, the ones who survived Tuesday’s election — who will be eager to demonstrate their conservative credentials before running again in 2012. “There’s an opportunity to put together a pretty broad bipartisan coalition,” Weber said. But gridlock is also a possibility — given that the Senate was projected to remain Democratic and Obama will be in the White House, ready to veto any bill that threatens his agenda. For that reason, a complete repeal of the health care legislation is unlikely, although that won’t stop the Republicans from bringing the issue to the floor. Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, expected to become the new GOP majority leader, said Tuesday night that his colleagues have learned from the mistakes and excesses that led to their ouster four years ago. “We Republicans are a different party from the GOP of 2006,” Cantor said

in Richmond, Va. “Our years in the minority have chastened and disciplined our party.” But some Republicans are thirsting to use their new oversight power to make life tough for Obama. “Do I expect to have the hardest working committee on the hill? I do,” said Rep. Darrell Issa of California, in line to take over the Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Boehner said he will make reducing the deficit and cutting spending early priorities. Unlike many recent House speakers, the Cincinnati-area native is born of a legislative tradition. He chaired the then-House Education and Workforce Committee for years and helped craft No Child Left Behind, working with the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts.

PRIMARY CARE

Programs bring medical students into community

the midst of health care reform, as doctors do not know how they will be paid. Harish Narayanan, a first year medical student, said his reservation about primary care is a lack of research opportunities. “I’m into the academic side, so something with research potential,” Narayanan said. “Something where I can learn every day. It is possible to do both, but I’m not interested in doing the same thing over and over.” For students who do enter the field, their interest often precedes medical school. “I was always taught by (my) family to give back to people,” Aguilar said. “For me, that translated into giving back to the community. I didn’t come into medicine to make money, so that part wasn’t a concern.” For those who do not know what they want to do, experiences in medical school can be the deciding factor. Moynahan said several programs in the College of Medicine expose students to the challenges and rewards of primary care. The Rural Health Professions Program

brings first-year medical students into rural communities in Arizona. These communities have limited access to medical technology. “They really get to know the community they work in really well,” Moynahan said. “It really solidifies their interest in primary care.” Student groups and clubs also give support and information to those considering the field. The UA chapter of the American Medical Student Association organized a week of lectures in recoginization of National Primary Care Week. Speakers from various primary care fields are giving lunchtime lectures every day this week. Second-year medical student Charity Reynolds said these lectures help inform students about possible careers. “There’s a lot about primary care not everyone knows about,” Reynolds said. “It brings different aspects of primary care.” Narayanan said the lectures exposed him to possibilities in the field. “This helped for sure.”

ASUA considers LGBTQ housing By Jazmine Woodberry Arizona Daily Wildcat ASUA Senate tackles diversity housing among other items at its weekly Wednesday meeting with Sen. Scott Rising’s resolution on UA Residence Life’s proposed new housing options such as gender-inclusive housing and an LGBTQ -themed wing. In a resolution to the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, Rising noted that the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and questioning section of campus totals an estimated 10 percent and and after concerns of limited housing options, new housing options are to be presented. “Creating a safe living space for LGBTQ students is a forward step towards creating a more inclusive environment at The University of Arizona,” Rising’s resolution states, asking the senate to take a positive stance on the issue. A Pride Alliance presentation will precede the resolution vote. The Women’s Resource Center, which works heavily with LGBTQ affairs on campus and Pride Alliance, is also presenting at the meeting. The center has one of its largest events of the fall semester, Sex-Ed College Style day, coming up later in November. Ascholarship presentation also will be given at the meeting, following approval of the ASUA Appropriations Board consent agenda. The board which delineates money each week out of the senate’s club funding budget to requests made by clubs, allocated $5,685.26 this week, bringing the total of money given to clubs nearly

$40,000, or approaching 30 percent of the $143,000 available for club funding during the school year. Near Eastern Studies Undergraduate Organization got full funding for its off-campus room rental for “The Hefla” a Middle Eastern themes food and entertainment event. Stocks and Securities Investments Club got three-quarters of the money they asked for from the board for attending the Las Vegas Traders Expo later this month, to cover some hotel and registration costs. The New Abolitionists Club, which advocates against human trafficking, asked for aid in creating a community banner but had no representation at the meeting and had their request delayed to be considered at the next meeting. SPRITE, a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and allied student organization, requested full money for T-shirts, but by ASUA bylaws only half of that amount could be given by appropriations board. S.M.O.R.E.S, a sophomore honorary had no representatives arrive for the meeting and got their application for money for T-shirts pushed until next meeting. Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlán, or MeChA, was fully approved for UA Mall and classroom rentals, but was denied funds for its politically motivated shirts, which violated ASUA bylaws, to be used at the 19th annual Youth Empowerment Conference at the UA. The Muslim Student Association requested funding for “Fast-a-thon 2010” but due to a lack of copies of receipts, the board rejected money for decorations.

EDITORIAL After midterm elections, a bleak outlook

Really, it should come as no surprise. Months of polling have shown rightwing candidates up in nearly every statewide race, from governor to state mine inspector. While some Democrats expected, or at very least hoped for, late surges, those hopes were by and large dashed on Tuesday night. The fact that Arizona Republicans won almost every major position in the state, and a great many seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, isn’t in itself a bad thing. Arizona has long been a proud shade of red, sending some tough, independent-minded right-wingers into office. As a state, we were proud to have the aisle-crossing “maverick” version of Sen. John McCain representing us in the U.S. Senate. Politicians of his ilk — those who stood up for their beliefs, regardless of party lines, and pursued smart, nuanced public policy — represented our best version of ourselves. Sadly, still-Senator John McCain’s transformation into an ossified partisan hack mirrors Arizona Republicans’ sharp-right detour. The people who became our leaders Tuesday night, from Gov. Jan Brewer on down, don’t represent the best Arizona has to offer. They represent this state at its most paranoid and broken. The face of Arizona these new leaders present is a fearful, cornered, mistrustful place. Is this really the state we want to be? The despair we feel today has nothing to do with being red or blue, and everything to do with the fact that Arizona voters have chosen narrowminded candidates with short-sighted policies to represent a state that needs so much more. We’ve chosen leaders who will slash funding for education, health care and social services; leaders who will continue to pursue insane, xenophobic border policies; leaders who will uselessly needle and antagonize, rather than work with, the federal government; and leaders who will continue to tell Arizonans they have something to be afraid of. If there was a bright spot in these dismal election results, it was the fact that voters in Pima County seemed to have their own best interests at heart. Terry Goddard, the Democratic gubernatorial hopeful, saw a promising lead in the UA’s home county, though he lost statewide to Republican incumbent Jan Brewer. Other races, including attorney general, state superintendent of public instruction and state treasurer, saw similar discrepancies between Pima County and the state as a whole. Congressional Districts 7 and 8, both of which include portions of Pima County, also leaned left, though both races were too close to call as of press time. Unfortunately, the sane Pima County voters couldn’t swim against the tide of anti-incumbent, anti-federal government, anti-Democrat, anti-just-abouteverything rage that carried Arizona yesterday. And as unsurprising as the results are, they’re still hard to stomach. All is not lost, of course. One disappointing election cannot irrevocably change the face of Arizona. We can still remain hopeful that someday it will manage to be a state that engages in bi-partisan, independent problem solving. Six months or a year from now, Arizonans might wake up and realize they elected a bunch of scare tacticians with no reasonable plans for the future wellbeing of this state, and have the wherewithal to demand better. Sometime soon we’ll be ready to hand the reins over to people who have all Arizonans’ best interests — young people, poor and disenfranchised people, and sick people included — at heart. But for now, it’s all over but the shouting. Oh, and there will be shouting aplenty. It seems, in fact, that shouting is all we really have left. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

Democratic Party needs new governing strategy Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

n the wake of their electoral walloping, Democrats need to ask themselves this question: “What went wrong?” The Democratic Party needs a new governing strategy if it plans on forwarding a legislative agenda between now and the 2012 presidential election. If the last two years have taught Democrats anything, it is that gesturing from the left and governing from the middle is politically disadvantageous. The Democratic Party’s increasing unpopularity is a testament to this. It is abundantly clear that the party’s open tent approach, one which encourages a broad variety of ideologies and political viewpoints, has created highly ineffectual Democratic majorities in the House and Senate. Wayward conservative Democrats, along with a Republican Party intent on stonewalling every Democratic legislative initiative, have led to two years of partisan bickering and legislative gridlock. Diversity of opinion within the party should always be welcomed, but not when it’s at the expense of effective governance. A handful of reactionary Democrats, abetted by an obstructionist Republican minority, should not be able to bring the legislative process to a standstill. The Republican Party has deliberately driven moderates from it ranks, causing the

party to lurch precipitously to the right. Ari Berman, in his book “Herding Donkeys” as well as in his New York Times op-ed, “Boot the Blue Dogs,” has argued that Democrats should employ a similar strategy. But what the Democratic Party needs now is not ideological purity. A political party’s most radical elements crawl out of the woodwork when moderate voices are silenced in an attempt to achieve ideological uniformity. In the case of the Republican Party, it has led to the emergence of the Tea Party movement and right-wing extremists like Christine O’Donnell, who among other things, believes homosexuality can be cured and masturbation should be outlawed. Conservative Democrats should not be “booted” from the party. Instead, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the rest of the Democratic Party leadership should establish firm boundaries of dissent, particularly on issues regarding civil rights, social welfare and taxation, three areas in which Democrats have established longstanding positions. Deviation from the majority agenda on certain issues should be permitted, but willful legislative obstructionism on core Democratic Party principles like singlepayer healthcare and progressive taxation should not be tolerated. Invoking party discipline by

withholding financial support and committee assignments are a few ways to achieve a more ideologically cohesive party. But purging moderate members is not the right way to go about it. Ari Berman has also counterintuitively suggested that a smaller majority or even a sizable minority may benefit the Democrats. The Bush Administration was able to ensure the passage of highly controversial pieces of legislation, like the Patriot Act, with a relatively small and ideologically uniform Republican majority. The Republican minorities of the Clinton and Obama administrations were enormously effective in influencing policy as well. A smaller Democratic caucus could also lead to cleaner and more robust Democratic legislation, less intraparty feuding and would force Democrats to confront the Republican Party’s use of the filibuster to extend debate endlessly. It takes no more than 41 Senators to invoke a filibuster and 60 to invoke cloture (end a filibuster). More than 400 bills have cleared the House but have sat dormant in the Senate as a result. A Democratic majority of 52 rather than 59, for example, would force the Senate to address the problem of the filibuster, which has stunted the legislative process for the past two years. While the Republican Party revels in its electoral comeback, Democrats need to sit down, take a hard look at the mistakes made since 2008 and form a new governing strategy that will ensure the party’s viability in the future. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

You drank your bed; now fall out of it Johnny McKay

Arizona Daily Wildcat

ould someone please tone down the color of this page? Its way too bright — Oh, hi there! I didn’t see you. Today we are going to talk about hangovers. I am currently doing extensive and meticulous research on the subject, and as such should be regarded as a brilliant expert for the duration of this article. My remaining brain cells and I will answer many of your potential hangover questions, such as: “What is a hangover?”… “How do I get one?”… “How do I get rid of one?”… “Did I really text my ex again last night?”… “And Facebooked her too?!” and “Oh no.” Let us begin at the conception of this horrible morning-after beast. Since way back in time, at the very least before the Pilgrims, people have been drinking alcohol. They consume this technical poison for its beneficial side effects: enhanced social skills, a feeling of euphoria and the subjective ability to sing “Don’t Stop Believin’” better than Steve Perry. However, these awesome mental boons come with a horrible price — that of a hangover. You see, alcohol is a diuretic, and in the process of partying super hard, one usually becomes dehydrated. The effects of this are felt the next morning, or if you’ve been drinking like an Irishman, as soon as the intoxication wears off. Hopefully this happens before next-next morning. Either

way, all your fun has been replaced by an intense feeling of anti-euphoria, nausea and a headache, as you have one again succumbed to the chicanery (Dictionary.com’s word of the day — your lexicon thanks me) of alcohol. Class is a nightmare, work is worse, and having to make an article deadline would be, I’m sure, just awful (meta!). So the obvious query is, how does one prevent or cure this unwanted accomplice of Jell-O shots, beer and Jaeger bombs? There are many proposed schools of thought on the matter, almost none of them scientifically proven or substantiated. First, there are the over-the-counter “hangover cures.” These are silly. If you think they are magical medicines that can zap hangovers, you are too. Examining the label, one finds that they suggest you take 1-2 glasses of water with each pill while drinking. As such, they are simply placebos designed to trick you into consuming water and not beer. They are not worth the trouble and price, and could simply be replaced by you and your drinking partner wearing shirts that read “Drink water, stupid” when you go out. Make sure the font is big; it gets harder to read after a few. Besides that, the only other real prevention method is to not drink. As a method, this is just as annoyingly unhelpful as the suggestion of abstinence to prevent STDs.

Now that you’re resigned to your hangover fate and have decided to do Mai Tai body shots anyway, the step becomes curing it, not preventing it. Everyone has their own “cures” for a hangover. They range from the simple, like working out, to the absurd, like drinking “rabbit-dropping tea” (found online). I personally have found two methods that have worked, one grounded in science, and the other just as un-informed as everyone else’s. First, the latter. As you may be aware, a wondrous and awe-inspiring food location has sprung up on Campbell Avenue. Yes, I am referring to Five Guys, the burger chain that makes In-N-Out look like a Wendy’s reject menu. Order a hamburger, get all the toppings, and the towering behemoth that is served to you will solve everything (more than just hangovers; it’s Adderall for the soul). The other way is to receive an IV of Lactated Ringer’s, which is what we used to do after partying when I worked as an EMT. Instant hydration, instant solution. However, it is decidedly less delicious and involves a slight bit of bodily penetration by needles, so I would stick to the hamburger for the most part. Now if you’ll excuse me, I was extremely close to completing my college goal of vomiting in front of an incoming student tour group at nine in the morning today (I would anticipate a 20 percent increase in applications), so I’m going to down some Five Guys and then lie down. If everyone on campus could start whispering, that would be great. My head hurts. — Johnny McKay is a media arts senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

What to expect from Career Day Reps

Wednesday, Nov. 3, 1 p.m.-4 p.m. Student Union Memorial Center 3rd floor ballroom

UA Graduate School Day 2010 What Can You Expect? By Susan L. Miller, Senior Marketing & Events Coordinator With USC, N.Y.U., Creighton, Penn and Pepperdine (just to name a few!) making their way to our campus to talk to interested students, it may just be time for you to get serious about your post-bachelor’s academic plans. If you are considering continuing your education and pursuing a graduate degree, or if you are rock solid in your conviction that graduate studies are for you, UA Graduate School Day can help pave the way. By attending UA Graduate School Day, you will have the opportunity to talk to several different graduate schools and learn more about the programs they offer.

The event is free. Just bring your CatCard and your inquiring mind ready to ask those insightful questions of the college reps present. You should not only be ready to ask questions about prospective programs but also see that you are prepared to answer questions about your interests and what you can bring to their campus. Taking the time to prepare for the event will go a long way to helping you get the most out of it. The research you do depends on where you are in the graduate school selection process. Assuming you already know what your interests

are (a good start!), one of the most important aspects of your research will be selecting the programs best suited to your interests and career goals. The following information will give you a basic blueprint regarding preparing for the fair, working the fair and follow up required after the fair. This material is adapted from UC Berkeley’s website.

This is a heads up regarding the reps you will meet at the Graduate Fair this week. Think about it. If you’re interested in pursuing a graduate degree in Microbiology and University of Somewhere Cool’s Dance Department attends, you can’t expect the representatives from Dance to answer questions specific to Anthropology…or Microbiology for that matter. You can, however, get good information about the school itself and maybe a contact to get in touch with later in your specific area. The Graduate School Fair is an opportunity to gather information about programs across the county plus some international opportunities as well (Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Saudi Arabia, the Caribbean and more). Over 90 different programs have signed on for this year’s UA Graduate School Day. These are programs interested in finding the cream of the potential UA grad student crop. There’s a wide range of programs and something of interest for just about everyone. Representatives from across the country will be here looking for students interested in pursuing advance degrees in everything from Accounting and Agriculture to Art and Design and that’s just the A’s. Some schools take multiple tables, each concentrating on different programs. Our friends up north in Tempe are sending reps from their Biological Design Program, Department of Biomedical Informatics, the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, School of Social Work, the Consortium for Science, Policy & Outcomes and the College of Nursing & Health Innovations. Yes, that’s all A.S.U. UA leads in this multiple table category (go figure!) (also…go CATS!) with tables for our Colleges of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, Medicine, Nursing, the MBA program and MIS department in the Eller College of Management, the James E. Rogers College of Law, Mel & Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health, Political Science/History, School of Government and Public Policy, the School of Information Resources and Library Science, the Master of GIS Technology Program, the Department of Immunobiology, and Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs. Check out the complete list of schools attending at www.career.arizona.edu. And don’t miss this opportunity to find out more about some great grad programs Wednesday, November 3rd, from 1 to 4pm, in the Student Union Memorial Center 3rd floor ballroom.

Before the Fair: Prepare. Before the fair, review the list of who is attending. Review their catalogs, directories and websites to get a sense of the universities and their programs. Log into our Career Services’ website at www.career.arizona.edu, click on that Grad Fair icon at the bottom of the page. To get a list of all institutions attending the UA Graduate School Day, along with links to their profiles, look on the right hand side of the screen and click on the appropriate section under “Who’s Coming.” You’ll be able to find out what exactly the schools are recruiting for. Some are more general in nature, representing their entire university and some are very specific. Using this information, decide which schools interest you and who you want to target at the fair. Once you have the basic information on participating schools and departments, rank the schools according to your preference. A note of caution…If the Immunobiology Department from Big State U is attending, chances are they won’t have details about the Creative Writing program. You can still get information about the campus in general, the town it’s located in, the local weather and more general insights into what it would be like to go to school there, but specifics about your particular program may require further inquiry and research.

Working the Fair If you are limited as far as time, visit your highest priority schools first to ensure you have adequate time to spend with them. Allow enough time to talk to your favorite school’s representatives as long as necessary. If you have the luxury of devoting as much time as needed to talk to everyone on your list during this event, you might consider saving your most desirable schools for last so you can talk to some of the other (desirable but not MOST desirable) schools first and get a feel for how best to present your skills and interests to graduate school recruiters. Practice makes perfect and by working your way backwards from lesser preferred to most preferred programs, you’ll be improving and honing your networking skills. Bring a list of questions that will help you make your decision. Questions should address costs, financial aid, program requirements, course offerings, facilities, location, student life, faculty and program reputation. Be prepared to answer questions from the representative regarding what your goals are for graduate school and your interests.

Before you Wrap it Up Be sure to get the grad school representative’s card so you can follow up with them after the event. Having a personal contact at schools you are interested in will be a huge help to getting the information you need to make a good decision. We hope you’ll plan on joining us at the UA Graduate School Day Wednesday, November 3rd, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Student Union Memorial Center 3rd floor ballroom. See you there!

Personal Statements By Kem Blanchard, Senior Career Services Counselor

Begin with an Outline

Professional and graduate schools usually require Personal Statements from their applicants. These may also be called Admissions Essays, Statements of Purpose, Statement of Intent, or Mission Statements.

• • • • • •

Purpose of Personal Statements • To show you are interested and to demonstrate your ability to write clearly • To indicate that you are qualified for graduate studies • To show your understanding of how a particular graduate program is right for you by focusing on the skills and experience you offer

Preparation • Start early–long before the deadlines • Brainstorm, outline, write, edit, rewrite, get other’s opinions, edit, edit, edit… • Proofread for grammar, spelling, punctuation, content, flow

Everything you need for graduation.

• • • •

Educational background Experience–work, volunteer, internships, activities… Skills and Interests related to career field Strengths, weaknesses, personal characteristics and accomplishments Personal, educational, and career goals Motivations for the area of study and the influences in your life and special events Challenges you have faced and/or extenuating circumstances you need to explain (grades, test scores, limited experience, hardships…) Uniqueness–how are you special, distinct, different, impressive Compelling reasons for you to be admitted to a program Why you are interested in attending a particular program

Tips for Writing Personal Statements This is not a biography of your whole life, especially since most personal statements have a one- to two-page limit. One strategy is to start writing from the time when you decided to apply and lead up to more current information about yourself. Then, edit until you have highlighted the most important points about your background and your qualifications. Write an individually tailored essay for each application. Do: Write in your own words, with details; be personal, persuasive, coherent and concise; support your skills with examples; state why you are qualified for a program. Don’t: Ramble, make the statement too long, bore the reader, dwell on bad luck stories, be too cute, appear to be pompous or arrogant, or write vaguely.

Applying to Graduate School Checklist • Solidify career interest area and thoroughly research types of programs and specific programs – narrow your list to 7-20

• • • • • • • • • • • • •

you will seriously consider. Obtain all the required application forms (way before the deadlines). Research financial aid information for each program. Consider taking a preparation course for the admissions test. Take appropriate admissions test (GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, PCAT, DAT, MAT, etc.). Get test scores forwarded to all your schools of interest. Get letters of recommendation from faculty and employers. Give your references at least two months advance notice. Check with schools to be sure all of your references have arrived before the deadline. Get official transcripts sent from all colleges you have attended. Draft, rewrite and polish statement of purpose—ask three people to proofread your writing. Type application forms error free. Submit materials online or by registered mail. If you can apply online, print a copy of your application before you send it online. Verify all of the above.

Do all of this so your application materials are received at least four weeks prior to the deadline. For schools with Rolling Admissions, it is to your advantage to get your applications in early (often November-December) to be considered early by the admissions committee.

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

All that and a bag of chips

An unknown man approximately college-aged was seen urinating on 24 bags of various Frito-Lay potato chips marked for sale on a shelf in Highland Market on Sunday, at 2:05 a.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Highland Market at 3:23 a.m. to meet with the manager of the store who also happened to be the witness that made the report of the damaged merchandise. The manager explained that at 2:05 a.m., a man who was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants had come in to Highland Market and urinated on 24 separate bags of chips. The manager tried to stop the man while he called the police, but the man ran away from the store and was able to flee the scene. He informed UAPD that he is checking surveillance cameras to see if the man made any purchases so that they can track his information through his CatCard. He will advise UAPD if he finds any of this information from footage. Twenty of the bags that the man urinated on were marked for sale at $3.99 each, a total value of $79.80. The manager told the officer that he believes the man is a frequent visitor of Highland Market and a student at the UA. The officer is requesting this case to be forwarded to detectives for follow-up, including requesting a copy of the surveillance footage and obtaining CatCard purchase information on the man.

New kid in town

A taxicab driver contacted a UAPD officer on Sunday at 1:06 a.m. to tell him that there was a woman passed out in his cab. The cab driver told the officer that the woman had flagged him down near a fraternity house on campus, and that once she got in the car she told the driver that she was from Nebraska and wanted to go to the airport. The woman passed out shortly after. The driver said it was then that he saw the officer near the area and decided to let him know what was going on. The woman was carrying a cell phone with a dead battery and a credit card. A records check could not identify her. When the officer tried waking the woman up, she just mumbled. The officer detected the smell of alcohol on her breath. He then called for medics to report to the scene. Tucson Fire Department arrived and the woman was subsequently transported to University Medical Center by ambulance. At approximately 5:45 a.m., the officer went to UMC to talk to the woman again. When the officer arrived, she was able to sit up and answer questions. She identified herself verbally with a name matching the one on the credit card. She explained that she was visiting some of her friends who attend UA from outof-state. She said her group drank alcohol at several parties before she got separated from her friends. The woman would not give the addresses of where the parties were held. She was cited and released for minor in possession. The cell phone and credit card that were found in the cab were returned to her.

Endless cycle of missing bicycles

A student reported that her bicycle was stolen on Sunday at 1 p.m. The bicycle had been parked at the bike rack near the McKale Center. The student told UAPD that she had the bicycle at 11:03 a.m. on Saturday, when she secured it to the racks. She locked it using a cable lock that wrapped around the front tire and frame of the bicycle, which was now cut and left at the scene. Earlier that day, she got a ride home from another UA student and left the bicycle at the bike racks overnight. When she came back the next day at 1 p.m., it was missing. The bicycle was not registered with Parking and Transportation Services and the serial number was not available. The woman had no suspect information. 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.

Rose Bowl Breakdown UA, OU, OSU and SU off to the races By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Oregon Record: 8-0, 5-0 Pac-10 Remaining Schedule: vs. Washington, @ California, vs. Arizona, @ Oregon State Needs: The Ducks control their own destiny. If they win out they will not only win the Pac-10, but will likely make the national championship game. If they lose to Arizona or Oregon State, they will need to hope that the Wildcats or Beavers lose a second conference game. Chances: Great. If Oregon doesn’t play in Glendale, Ariz., on Jan. 10, 2011, it will already have played in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2011.

It’s been the mantra of the Arizona Wildcats since day one of fall camp. It’s been the one program indicator that has been missing in Tucson. It’s the one jeer that ASU fans can throw around that Wildcat fans don’t really have an answer for. It’s the Rose Bowl. With just four games left in the season, which team will represent the Pacific 10 Conference in the Rose Bowl is beginning to shape up. Assuming a Pac-10 team reaches the Rose Bowl, here are breakdowns for the four most likely teams.

Arizona Record: 7-1, 4-1 Pac-10 Remaining Schedule: @ Stanford, vs. USC, @ Oregon, vs. ASU Needs: The Wildcats are the second of three teams that has its fate in its own paws — er, hands. If Arizona wins out and Oregon State loses once (which could happen considering its injuries and remaining schedule) then the Wildcats will make it. If they drop any of their remaining games, the Wildcats would need some serious help. Chances: Good. Assuming OSU, a threeloss team already, loses one more game, the Wildcats will be in good shape for the Rose Bowl.

Stanford

Oregon State

Record: 7-1, 4-1 Pac-10 Remaining Schedule: vs. Arizona, @ Arizona State, @ California, vs. Oregon State Needs: Even if the Cardinal wins all of its remaining games, it’s still going to need some help. The early season loss to Oregon now leaves the Cardinal’s fate in the hands of the Ducks. Stanford would need Oregon to lose twice to win the conference outright and go to the Rose Bowl. Chances: Not good. Oregon is unlikely to lose at all this season, let alone twice.

Record: 4-3, 3-1 Pac-10 Remaining Schedule: vs. Washington State, vs. USC, @ Stanford, vs. Oregon Needs: If Oregon State wins out it will make the Rose Bowl, which is crazy considering one of their three early-season losses was to hapless Washington. If the Beavers can handle Stanford and USC and then beat Oregon, it will win the Pac-10. Chances: Good. Despite its record, Oregon State can make the Rose Bowl if it wins out. Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Head coach Mike Stoops, left, and co-defensive coordinator Greg Brown, have led an Arizona defense that is ranked No. 10 in the country. The Wildcats defense will need to remain on top of its game if Arizona wants to make its first ever Rose Bowl.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Wildcats open season with convincing win in exhibition game

Mike Christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona women’s basketball head coach Niya Butts couldn’t have drawn up a better start to the 2010-11 season. The Wildcats connected on their first five shots en route to a 90-56 exhibition romp of Grand Canyon University in McKale center. Arizona is looking to run the floor more this season, and the players were making a point of pushing the tempo on offense in the first half. “You know, I wish we had picked some more spots (to run),” Butts said. “We did pretty well, we pushed tempo and we scored about 10 points in a minute and a half. We kind of fell off a little bit, and I want us to keep that going for an entire game.” It is the first game in the season though, and fatigue played a role in the Wildcats’ energy falling off in the second half. “We’ve got to be able to fight through the fatigue so we can play at that tempo in the second half too,” said sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte. Freshman guard Candice Warthen started her Arizona career off with a bang after making her debut three minutes into the game. She scored 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting, along with 2 assists. “We see it every day in practice,” Whyte continued. “She’s fast.” Warthen looked a little out of control at times, but that’s something to be expected out of a freshman making her collegiate debut. “Obviously she’s a young pup who’s going W-HOOPS, page A11

Sophomore linebacker shines on UA special teams By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Sophomore Jake Fischer has caught the eye of coaches since his sophomore year at Ironwood Ridge High School. The linebacker spoke with the Daily Wildcat about his recruiting process and what it’s like to play for Mike Stoops. Daily Wildcat: So you were named the Pacific 10 Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for your 29-yard run on a fake punt. You played running back in high school, were you recruited for offense at all? Jake Fischer: Always defense. As you can see, the guys on our team, that’s why they got recruited as a

running back. I think it was fun in high school, but I think I was better on defense. You’re a local guy, did you always plan on coming to Arizona? I started getting interested the first time I came to a camp here before my sophomore year, them and Colorado were pretty much the schools that I was picking between because they stuck with me the whole time. So why Arizona? Arizona was on the rise, coaches made me feel at home, so why not come here? It’s a great place, close to family and I felt at home. You’re an outside linebacker now, but in high school you played inside.

Did you know they’d switch you? They kind of told me when they recruited me harder in my senior season they told me that I would probably have to be an outside so I worked on my speed and those things. I knew I was going to have to play outside because they thought I was a little too small to play inside. Did you have to deal with being deemed “too small” a lot when you were recruited? (Laughs) Yeah, by everyone. I just used it as motivation. Arizona and Colorado were the only two schools that stuck with me because they didn’t FISCHER, page A14

to make some mistakes, and she could have made some better decisions,” Butts said. “Offensively she did some really good things. Your first game as a college basketball and you come out and score 13 points, I think that’s pretty good.” Whyte, Arizona’s leading scorer from last year, struggled to find a rhythm after getting into early foul trouble. She played only three minutes in the first half. “I got two quick ones, then I had to sit the rest of the half,” Whyte said. “When I came back in, I didn’t want to get my third then have to come back out again. I wanted to contribute to the team, so you could say I got into trouble there a little bit.”

Making it rain

To kick off the rout, Arizona shot 64 percent in the first half, along with a whopping 71 percent from three-point range. Brooke Jackson led the Wildcats in scoring for the night with 18 points on 6-of-7 shooting. “My teammates gave me the confidence,” Jackson said. “They told me to shoot lightsout, so I just tried to do that.” Jackson was a proven commodity from behind the arc. She hit 44 threes last year, which was good for second on the Wildcats’ roster. Forward Ify Ibekwe, however, is Arizona’s newest threat from behind the arc. After hitting only six three-pointers last

season, Ibekwe is now looking to take a shot whenever the opportunity presents itself. “I was on the line and my teammates were looking for me,” Ibekwe said. “If I’m wide open, I’ll shoot it. Like really wide open, I’m not going to force anything at the three point line.” Ibekwe shot 2-for-2 from behind the arc and scored 14 points.

Ify Ibekwe pushes the floor in Arizona’s 90-56 win over Grand Canyon University in McKale Center last night. The Wildcats’ new focus on upping the tempo proved to be a huge success as Arizona’s lead was never in question. Tim Glass/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

In the paint

Arizona’s search for an offensive threat in the paint might be over. Transfer Taylor Dalrymple, a junior from Atlanta, Ga., scored 10 points in the game, all of which came in the paint. “Taylor (Dalrymple) is absolutely a viable option down low,” Butts said. “We have to keep her on the floor. She made some poor decisions in the first half, but I think it was an effort to get out and push the basketball in transition. If she keeps coming along as a player, we’re going to be in pretty good shape.” Soana Lucet, Arizona’s other post player didn’t fare as well as Dalrymple in the paint. Lucet shot only 1-of-6, but added five assists and eleven rebounds. The Wildcats continue the season on Sunday, when they play host to Western State in the final exhibition tune-up before the regular season.

V-ball looks cautiously at postseason

Wildcats playoff future in jeopardy despite being ranked No. 23 in the nation By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat The Arizona volleyball team is ranked No. 23 in the country, but its postseason future might be in jeopardy. The Wildcats lack an impressive out of conference win, and are average, 5-5, in Pacific 10 Conference play. “I stay away from thinking about those things,” Arizona head coach Dave Rubio said. “You can’t really control any of those things. The only thing you can control is what we do every day in practice and we do in (matches).” What might save Arizona come tournament time is the strength of the Pac-10. Seven of the conference’s 10 teams are ranked in the top-25, including four teams in the top-10. Then again, the ranking of those teams doesn’t mean a whole lot if Arizona doesn’t beat them. Of Arizona’s five Pac-10 wins, four have come against teams not ranked in the AVCA Coaches’ Poll top-25. Two wins against rival ASU, one against winless Washington State

and another over one-win Oregon State. Arizona’s lone impressive conference victory came in a road win over No. 20 Oregon in early October. On the flip side, all five of Arizona’s conference losses have come at the hands of teams ranked in the top-15. As far as tournament résumés go, this isn’t a very impressive one. “You can’t let (postseason) be the sole focus of why you’re doing what you’re doing,” senior Paige Weber said. “If you haven’t been taking all the time along the way to get better, then once you actually get to the postseason, it’s almost pointless to be there because you spent so much time on getting there but no time on what you need to be successful there.” She’s right. Well, sort of. Although a team’s only focus can’t be reaching the postseason, it still needs to be a main focus – especially for a team as talented and experienced as Arizona. Rubio might be worried right now about where his team is going to end up after the regular season

THE

ends on Nov. 26, but he knows that getting to the NCAA Tournament takes an entire body of work. Arizona’s most, and maybe only, impressive victory in nonconference play came against Louisville, which leads the Big East Conference. Once you get past that victory, what stands out is the number of matches that the Wildcats have lost in which they appeared to be the better team, at least on paper. “You’ve just got to kind of let it go,” Weber said. “It’s one of those things that it’ll happen at the end of the season if you’ve taken care of what has been in front of you the entire time.” And therein lies the problem with Arizona so far this season. The Wildcats haven’t taken care of what has been in front of them. Six of Arizona’s eight remaining games are against ranked teams. After that stretch, we’ll know where Arizona’s headed, and if things keep going the way they have, there’s a good chance the Wildcats will be headed home.

Rodney Haas/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Senior Paige Weber and the Wildcats are ranked No. 23 in the AVCA Coaches’ Poll but a 5-5 record in the Pacific 10 Conference puts postseason future in question. Seven Pac-10 teams are in the top-25.

Do you have a question for The Weekly Advisor?

Email: advising@email.arizona.edu Sponsored by the Advising Resource Cener Questions and Answers On Academic Advising Q. I have been adding classes to my shopping cart, but only two of them are open. I’m worried that by the time I register, I won’t be able to get enough units. I need at least 15 units to stay on track to graduate. What can I do? – Needs More Classes.

A. Dear Needs More Classes: It’s great that you are planning ahead and using your shopping cart in UAccess. You should be aware that additional seats are added to courses each week during priority registration. From November 15 until the start of the Spring Semester, registration is open to all students. During this time students will be adding and dropping classes on a daily basis, so you need to check UAccess regularly to see if a seat has opened in any of the classes you want. Persistence pays off! You should also consider courses offered at 8 AM and/or 4PM. You can also contact the course instructor or the department to see if there are waiting lists or sign-up through UAccess if one is available on-line. If you have not been able to register for the course by the time the semester starts, on January 12th, go to the first day of class with a Change of Schedule (Add/Drop) form and see if you can be added at that time. The Outreach College can provide information about Evening/Weekend or distance learning (on-line) courses. AZUN is the Arizona Universities Network which connects students to on-line courses at NAU and ASU. There’s no additional tuition if you are already a full time student. Another alternative is to consider UA South courses. You do need transportation, but these are UA courses offered through UA South at one of the Pima Community College (PCC) campuses. Winter Session is another possibility. Registration starts on November 15th and classes run from December 20th to January 11th. There are many on-line courses during the winter so if you have access to a computer and the Internet, you’re all set. Even though these classes are taught over a short period of time, they fulfill requirements as if they were regular session courses. Since the course is of short duration, it is important to pick a subject with which you feel comfortable so you have the best chance of doing well. Winter courses require daily involvement so if you are busy during the break, this option might not be the best. You may also want to consider a correspondence course. These are self-paced courses that allow you up to 9 months to complete. If you can complete the course by the end of the Spring Semester, you can stay on track toward your degree. Registration in a correspondence course requires approval from your academic advisor. If you have General Education courses to complete, PCC offers a full range of courses that will transfer to the University and fulfill these requirements. Again, contact your academic advisor to select an appropriate transferable course. Hang in there and always contact your academic advisor for assistance.

Lindsey Richardson, a May 2009 UA law school graduate, came to the desert from Berthoud, Colorado. Inspired by the Mock Trials she participated in both during high school and her undergraduate years, and the work she did for an attorney while an undergrad, she decided to become a lawyer. She found both her summer internships through the Spring Sonoran Desert Public Sector Career Fair through the James E. Rogers College of Law at the UA Campus. She researched a lot of Fourth Amendment search and seizure law and wrote memos for both the supervising attorneys as well as the police ofﬁcers regarding her research.

SPORTS

Too many red zone mishaps for the Wildcats Arizona offense has moved the ball with ease; scoring close to goal line has been an issue By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona’s offensive attack is lethal, but deep strikes to receiver Juron Criner and long bursts from running back Keola Antolin mean nothing if the Wildcats don’t cross the goal line or split the uprights to close out drives. “We still have to do a better job inside the red zone,” said co-offensive coordinator Seth Littrell after the UCLA win. “I don’t know how many turnovers we had inside the red zone this year but it’s too many, and we’ve got to get a lot better in that area.” Arizona committed two red-zone turnovers against UCLA last Saturday – a fumble by quarterback Matt Scott at the Bruins’ 14yard line and an interception in the end zone on a fade from Scott to Criner. “I’m disappointed we didn’t score more points,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “Red zone efficiency wasn’t great.” But the UCLA game was just a reminder of a problem that’s plagued Arizona throughout the course of the 2010 season. While the Wildcats have done a nice job limiting turnovers with 12 overall – fourth in the conference – they’ve turned it over five times inside their opponents’ 20-yard line this season. Arizona also committed two turnovers just outside the red zone at the 21- and 24-yard lines. “That’s what you can’t do,” quarterback coach Frank Scelfo said. “We’ve really been pretty good taking care of the football, but when you get an eight, 10, 12-play drive down the field and then you turn it over, that’s the mistakes you’ve got to stay away from.” Two of Arizona’s turnovers also came on special teams. That means 50 percent of Arizona’s offensive turnovers came inside their opposition’s 20-yard-line. The Wildcats’ offense becomes predictable inside the red zone, as their options are usually a fade to Criner or plunge by Antolin or fellow running back Nic Grigsby. The nonexistent receiving tight end position heavily contributes to the lack of options and Arizona’s 61.1 touchdown conversion per-

centage (22-for-36). Scelfo said that playing in the red zone comes down to “one-on-one matchups” and aside from Criner, the Wildcats don’t exactly have endless options in that regard. The minimal red zone targets have led to three endzone interceptions between Scott and quarterback Nick Foles. One came in the UCLA win and another in the thriller victory against Cal, so they didn’t prove too costly. But Foles tossed an interception into the endzone against Oregon State in a loss that will haunt the Wildcats all season long. It’s costly mishaps like that keeping Arizona from an undefeated record. “We’ve got to maximize the chances that we get when we’re down there. We’ve got to take advantage of them,” Scelfo said. “We can’t just say ‘ah we’ll just take a shot and let a guy go get it.’ It’s got to be calculated when you do it.” Arizona definitely can’t afford to let any scoring opportunities slip away this weekend at No. 13 Stanford on Saturday. The Wildcats may not even be able to settle for field goals against the Cardinal.

Sophomore fulfilling coaches’ expectations

really care about height. How has your perception of head coach Mike Stoops changed from the recruiting process to now? He is all business, man. He knows his football, back then it was one of those things like ‘wow, Stoops is interested,’ and now, you realize how in depth he gets and how much you need to study for this caliber of football. It’s a big change (from high school). When he is screaming and jumping around on the sidelines, do you listen or do you tune it out and nod your head? (Laughs) Well, while he’s screaming at me he’s giving me pointers, and he knows his football, he’s one of the smartest football minds, so you listen to him. You don’t

want to get yelled at, but you listen. Back in the spring the big question around your team was that there would be three new starters at linebacker, yet throughout the speculation the coaches were adamant in how confident they were in you. What does that mean to a young guy entering his first season as a starter? That gave me confidence. I’m just trying to work hard. All the linebackers, we work hard and we came together and we knew we were going to have to replace three great linebackers that played here for a while. We all came together and we had to gel and we gelled during the spring and then we gelled even more in the offseason and in the summer, and before our first game we really mended our defense.
