Arizona 20, Arizona State 17

By Shannon Maule ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Three finalists for the UA student regent selection process will have their applications and résumés sent to Gov. Jan Brewer sometime this week for further review. After the governor comes to a conclusion, the Arizona Senate must confirm the selected individual. The governor and senate will look over all of the information pertaining to the candidates to ensure that the chosen student will appropriately represent all college students from the three Arizona universities. The 2009 UA Student Regent Selection Process has been underway since Sept. 9 and will conclude sometime in January, the next time the Arizona Senate is in session. REGENTS, page 3

Stores see more ‘World AIDS Week’ kicks off today shoppers, less sales By Marissa Freireich ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE SAN FRANCISCO — More Americans hit the stores during Black Friday and the rest of the holiday-shopping weekend, but they spent less than they did last year, a retail-trade group said Sunday. The National Retail Federation’s survey, conducted over the weekend, found that 195 million shoppers visited stores and Web sites, up from 172 million last year, but the average spent was about $343, down from about $373 a year ago. For the weekend, the total spending figure is an estimated $41.2 billion. “While retailers are encouraged by the number of Americans who shopped over Black Friday weekend, they know they have their work cut out for them to keep people coming back through Christmas,” said Tracy Mullin, NRF president and chief executive. “Shoppers can continue to expect retailers to focus on low prices and bargains through the end of December.” Almost half of holiday shoppers visited at least one department store over the weekend, which is up 13 percent from last year. About 43 percent headed to discount retailers BLACK FRIDAY, page 3

UA students and community members take time out of their day look at the AIDS prevention exhibit on the mall during the 2008 campus AIDS walk. Monday marks the beginning of 2009 World AIDS Week to help spread information on the prevention of HIV and AIDS.

Some familiar fixtures on campus may look different today as an array of campus organizations team up to draw attention to a global epidemic. Various colleges, clubs and organizations are sponsoring a “Day Without Art” to promote AIDS awareness. For the event, the groups will cover statues, paintings, and other artwork around campus with black plastic bags and posters displaying statistics about HIV and AIDS. “The purpose is to get people to think about how this is a serious disease and hopefully change their behavior so they’re practicing safe sex,” said Justin Peterson, an interdisciplinary studies senior and director of outreach for AIDS SAFE. The event will also attempt to clear up any prejudices and stereotypes associated with the disease, said Chinenye Anako, a second year medical school student and a World AIDS Week coordinator. “We’re trying to show that HIV affects everyone,” she said. Some of the art that will be covered includes the statues in front of the main library, the chairs in front of the Marroney Theatre, the figures pushing against the wall in front of the Harvill building, and the wildcat family on the UA Mall. The event is part of World AIDS Week, which is Nov. 30 through Dec. 4. World AIDS Day is Dec. 1. Peterson said the event has been conducted on campus on a smaller scale in previous years. “We’ve made it into a much bigger event so that everybody sees it real prominently,” he said.

Peterson said that the “Day Without Art” illustrates the message they are trying to send. “(Lives affected by AIDS are) something that’s beautiful that’s being taken away from us,” he said. Because there is no central authority in charge of the artwork on campus, Peterson said it was difficult to get permission to use the various works of art for the event. However, he said the administration was receptive to the idea. Peterson founded the AIDS SAFE club after visiting a clinic that treated AIDS patients in the Dominican Republic last summer and taking an Individuals and Societies class called “Sex, Health, and AIDS.” The club now has about 15 members who teach people about the disease, both on the UA campus and in high schools in the Tucson community. Peterson said younger people are disproportionately affected by AIDS simply because sometimes they are not as careful as they should be. Every nine and a half minutes someone in the United States is infected with HIV, and more than 14,000 people with AIDS die every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Along with AIDS SAFE, the College of Medicine’s Global Health Forum, the American Medical Student Association, the Student National Medical Association, African Americans in Life Sciences and representatives from the College of Pharmacy and the College of Public Health’s Global Health Alliance jointly organized the event. “We want to educate the public about the disease and try to motivate anyone who wants to know about their status to get tested,” Anako said. “Unless people learn about it … it’s always going to be a problem.”

Nah, I don’t do any of that. No, my mom and my fiancé, they get up for all of those early bird specials. So is the worst part about that maybe that they wake you up at like 4 a.m.?

Surprise, surprise – ‘Kick a Ginger Day’ turns violent in Calif.

Investigators say the Facebook message may have been inspired by a “South Park”TV episode that satirized racial prejudice by portraying a campaign against red-haired, fairskinned “ginger” people.

NEW YORK — Giant balloons, floats, marching bands and clowns with confetti brought smiles to hundreds of thousands of revelers eager to catch a glimpse of a parade as steeped in Thanksgiving Day tradition as turkey and pumpkin pie. Crowds six to seven people Kermit the Frog deep lined the streets of Manhattan on Thursday for the 83rd annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as merrymakers gathered nationwide for massive parades in cities such as Detroit and Philadelphia. Soldiers in war zones received phone calls of appreciation from President Barack Obama, while astronauts hovering above the Earth’s surface feasted on turkey smuggled aboard the space shuttle Atlantis. In New York City, Miss America Katie Stam waved to crowds from a Statue of Liberty float she shared with Meb Keflezighi, the first American in 27 years to win the New York City Marathon. Shailesh Dighe and his family came to the fabled parade to snap pictures of celebrities including rapper Jay Sean and singer-actress Keke Palmer. Despite the crowds, Dighe said the parade is“totally worth it.” “When you watch it on TV, you don’t get that feeling,” said Dighe, who splits his time between Manhattan and Princeton, N.J. For the first time, the parade route bypassed Broadway, which cuts a diagonal slice through Manhattan, as it made its way south from the Upper West Side to the finish at Macy’s flagship store in Herald Square. The new route traverses the grid of the city’s streets and avenues, includes turns around five corners, and is slightly longer than in previous years — 2.65 miles compared with 2.5 miles. Johanna Castillo, 38, of Guttenberg, N.J., said the new route seemed to better accommodate the crowds. “I was very blessed to get here at the time I did and find a spot”a half-hour before parade time, said Castillo, who arrived with her two children. Maryann Alonzo, 48, of Queens, N.Y., has been coming to the parade since she was a baby. She showed up Thursday with her daughter and friends to cheer on her father, who’s been performing in the parade for 25 years as a clown. “This is our Thanksgiving,” Alonzo said. “More than the food.” Celebrity entertainment included Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, comedian Jimmy Fallon, former “American Idol” star Katharine McPhee and singers Gloria Gaynor and Carly Simon. — The Associated Press

By battling traffic did you mean those dumb people who just stay in the left lane the whole time? (Laughs) Yeah, the I-10’s got some traffic on it and, you know, there’s a lot of snowbirds coming back into town so that’s going to take up some time trying to get around.

What about traveling? What’s one of the worst traveling experiences during the holidays? Just trying to manage the airport scene, but that’s pretty typical for everyone I guess. Just trying to get there on time and all the security and whatnot and battling the lines.

What’s the worst part about making short trips like that? Um, just the same things like battling traffic and making sure everything is ready. We were up there for a few days, so basically it’s just having everything ready.

Alliance promotes leadership, education By Yael Schusterman Arizona Daily Wildcat Jai Smith was interested in finding an organization that was different from those he had explored in the past. Smith, a sociology junior, found ASUA Pride Alliance, a club associated with LGBTQ affairs. Now the club director, he said that Pride Alliance is not only a social organization for gay members of the community, but provides leadership opportunities and on-campus education. “I have had a lot of students reach out, questioning their sexuality and asking for resources,” Smith said. “Students who are new to campus reach out to me, which is really rewarding.” Smith said he has spoken to students who don’t identify with the LGBTQ community, but who are interested in learning more about it. He said that in the past year there has been a strong emphasis on increasing ally development and support for the club. Pride Alliance meets every Friday at 3 p.m. in the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership on the fourth floor of the Student Union Memorial Center. Smith said identifying with the LGBTQ community has made him a target for hateful behavior. “I can walk down the street and not be identified as gay, but if I express myself or wear something less masculine then that’s when slurs occur and violent actions start to happen,” said Smith. He said that he has been the victim of such slurs, and one in particular had a large impact on his life. During Coming Out Week this semester, while handing out fliers on the mall for a reading of the play “The Laramie Project,” someone stopped in front of him and said, “all you ever do is this gay shit on campus and we are sick of you running your sexual orientation down our throat.” He then called Smith a “faggot” and walked away. Smith did not respond to the student’s remark, but stood in silence for a few moments after. Another incident happened in 2006, he said, when a friend of his was beaten by his roommate because he was openly gay.

ASUA Pride Alliance advisor Jennifer Hoefle, left, and co-director Kira Johnson, stand true to their colors outside the Pride Alliance office in the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership on Wednesday, Nov. 25. The main goal of the Pride Alliance is to “strive to maintain a resource center that offers a secure, supportive, social and academic environment to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning individuals.”

“More education needs to happen and that’s why we are here and have impacted students already,” Smith said. He said that he knew he was gay at age five and came out to his family and friends at 13. Jennifer Hoefle, the program director for LGBTQ affairs, said, “as a member of the LGBTQ community myself, it is particularly powerful to make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ students t o help them develop as leaders, to help them educate and grow effective allies, and to work with them to create a more inclusive campus environment.” She said the mission of Pride Alliance is to foster a safe environment so that LGBTQ students can thrive at the UA. Pride Alliance impacts students by maintaining a resource center that offers a supportive social and academic environment to LGBTQ individuals, as well as their straight allies, Hoefle said. She said this past week during Transgender Awareness Week, Smith and many of the members of Pride Alliance set up a display on Heritage Hill to honor and mourn the 162 transgender individuals who were murdered in the last year due to

anti-transgender hatred. Kira Johnson, an English freshman, said that within the last year the club has received a lot of support from the community, for the most part. “Religious groups on campus, on the other hand, aren’t very supportive,” she said. “Everything Brother Jed (an outspoken evangelical on campus) does is offensive — his strict attitude towards the LGBTQ community, basically telling us that we are going to hell.” She said she discovered the club during Coming Out Week, and was looking for some way to get involved in a community she was familiar with. Johnson said she has never been personally attacked for being a lesbian, but has received occasional slurs and stares. A pet peeve of hers, she said, is when people say “that’s so gay.” She said there are many more suitable words in the English language to express the same sentiment, without using the word “gay” as a derogatory term. Johnson realized that she was a lesbian as a sophomore in high school. “It was a very freeing experience, like you can finally be yourself,” she said.

On Nov. 18, the three students — Taylor Bell, William Holmes and Cheyenne Walsh — made an appearance at the Associated Students of the University of Arizona senate meeting. Many members from the selections board were present and spoke about the candidates. They all concluded that each of the finalists are highly qualified and have the résumés to prove it. Executive vice president and chair of the 2009 selection committee Emily Fritze said she is confident that any of the three students would make a wonderful representative. “They are all highly qualified and have different background experience and passion for student advocacy,” she said. The Arizona Board of Regents selects a student from one of the three Arizona universities each year to represent the student body of the Arizona university system. The chosen individual sits on a board that consists of 10 adult regents and two student regents. The term is two years long, but for the first year, the individual works more as

an apprentice. “Student regents definitely have a say in the decisions made, but for the first year they are non-voting,” Walsh said. She is a first-year law student at the UA who obtained her undergraduate degree in Tucson before getting her master’s degree from Arizona State University. “The student regent has the opportunity to be the voice of what students want and need and delivers that to the board,”she said. Walsh’s qualifications include working as a research intern for the Arizona State Senate. “I have existing relationships with the legislature and a lot of advocacy and government experience,” she said. Bell, another first-year law student who earned his undergraduate degree from Biola University, said he is a good candidate for the job. “The next regent is really going to have to fight for funding and get creative. I think I have the abilities to do that,” he said. “I would bring a unique perspective, balance

and understanding.” The third finalist, Holmes, is an economics and political science senior. “I found the process to be a great personal learning experience and challenge,” he said. Holmes said he is passionate about student issues and a proponent for universal education in Arizona. “I want to be the next student regent because I feel that if an individual academically qualifies and desires to attend an Arizona public university, then they should have that opportunity to do so and better their life through education,” he said. Until Brewer makes her decision and the senate passes it, the student finalists and selection committee can only anticipate the conclusion of the process. “It’s in their hands now, and at some point there will be more interviews,” Bell said. “Hopefully we won’t have to worry about it until after finals.” The term of the future student regent will not begin until July 2010.

and another 8 percent headed to outlets, the NRF added. More than a fourth of shoppers went online for their potential purchases. More shoppers also started their expeditions early, with 31 percent in the doors by 5 a.m., as opposed to 23 percent who did the same last year. “High unemployment and a focus on price caused shoppers to visit stores early in anticipation of the best deals,” said Phil Rist, executive vice president at BIGresearch, which conducted the survey.

The most popular buys were of clothing and books, at levels similar to last year’s, the survey said. Almost a third of shoppers bought toys, up 13 percent from a year ago, and more people picked up personal care and beauty items, as well as gift cards and sporting goods. The retail-trade group also announced Sunday that more Americans will go online to do holiday shopping on the Monday after the Black Friday weekend than they did last year. On so-called

Cyber Monday, 96.5 million people plan to shop, up from 85 million a year ago, the NRF said, citing a Shop.org survey. Nine in 10 retailers also will have special deals and promotions for Cyber Monday, the survey said. In addition, a majority of the planned shopping is to be done from home, with 14 percent done from work. At some point during the holiday season, an estimated 69 million Americans will shop from work, a Shop.org survey said last week.

EDITORIAL

MONDAY MORNING ROUND-UP Recapping what happened over Thanksgiving Break

UA regains lost honor

After the embarrassing bottle-throwing incidents and general riotousness at the Arizona vs. Oregon football game, the UA football team has redeemed itself by beating Arizona State University last weekend. We’re always proud when the Wildcats win, but it’s even more thrilling when Arizona beats its biggest rival. The Wildcats won by a mere three points, making the match an extremely close one. The Wildcats should be proud to have defeated the Sun Devils, and hopefully this win will bring good luck to next weekend’s USC game. Arizona has had a successful, interesting season, and the final football match should prove to be competitive and exciting as a result of everything that has happened so far. Cheers to the Wildcat victory after such a disappointment on “College GameDay.”

Anti-redhead sentiment is bigotry, too

Last week, students at A.E. Wright Middle School in Calabasas, Calif. were inspired to act out because of a Facebook group post about “Kick a Ginger Day.” The term “ginger” was popularized by the television show “South Park,” referring to an individual with red hair and pale skin. For some reason, the children of Wright Middle School found it perfectly acceptable to discriminate against them. These students don’t realize that making any group — even redheads — the target of persecution is bigoted. Teachers and administrators at all public schools should take this sort of event seriously. Too often, children are picked on inside and outside of class and it goes ignored by the school. Discrimination should never be overlooked, even at the smallest level. Parents and instructors alike should be worried about the future if this kind of behavior continues.

Slow economy made for low-key Black Friday

The economy may be in a better place now than it was earlier this year, but you’d never know from this year’s Black Friday data. According to an Associated Press report, sales only rose by 0.5 percent this year, even though many experts predicted a strong showing. It looks as if most people are still trying to save money in any way they can, and shopping remains a low priority in tough economic times. There’s more time for everyone to make their holiday purchases, but the mediocre Black Friday turnout is another reminder that the general public is attempting not to overspend, and this is definitely a smart societal move. It’s more than a little embarrassing to know that there are still many people willing to get up at 3 a.m. on Black Friday to go shopping.

Senseless violence continues with Tacoma shooting

Thanksgiving break ended on a sad note this weekend when four policemen were killed at a coffee house in Tacoma, Wash. Pierce County Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer told The News Tribune that one or two gunmen burst into the Forza Coffee Co., shot the four uniformed officers and left the premises. Authorities said that it was a targeted ambush, and it’s a shame to see this happen to protectors of the law. It was only a few weeks ago that the shooting rampage at Fort Hood took place, and many soldiers died that day. This is a tragic way to begin the holiday season. — Editorials are determined by the Daily Wildcat opinions board and written by one of its members.

MAILBAG Screening of 9/11 conspiracy film disrespectful

As a student who is fairly left-leaning in the political spectrum and who genuinely believes activism can bring about positive change, I am disgusted by the Voices of Opposition student group showing 9/11 conspiracy films. These kinds of conspiracy films only serve to discredit legitimate activism and fuel right-wing opposition to progressive action. On a personal note, I am even more hurt as a native New Yorker. I spent Sept. 11, 2001, frantically calling friends and family who lived in the city. These kinds of films disrespect all who lost a loved one in the attack on the Twin Towers. Voices of Opposition has shown some thought-provoking films in the past, but as far as I’m concerned they are no longer in the category of progressive activists but rather have aligned themselves with some truly misguided people. When activists entertain these kind of ridiculous ideas it hurts everyone working towards change. You want the truth about 9/11? Seriously disturbed people looking for conspiracies should let the dead rest and respect the many still grieving. Patrick McGowan Undeclared freshman

Cheers to Daily Wildcat response to Oregon game

I am pleased that the Arizona Daily Wildcat expressed the disappointment, horror and humiliation that I know all the alumni of this university felt at hearing the story of the disgracefully bad sportsmanship shown after the Oregon game. Contrast that with the excellent sportsmanship shown by the two teams. I saw numerous instances of opponents helping each other up off the field, for example. What do you do when you lose a close heartbreaker like this one? Shake the hand of the first Oregon fan you find and congratulate them on their fine play. College should teach life lessons. Let this be one for every student to learn. As for the culprit who hit the Oregon cheerleader — hopefully not a student — you should be identified, arrested and jailed. Hank Helley

Columnist uses same ‘boilerplate’ tactics as politicians

Saturday (Nov. 22) was one of the best games of the 2009 football season and all anyone can do is talk about the unruly fans. There has been way too much negative attention towards prematurely rushing the field and no reason to cite overly enthusiastic fans as the reason for the loss. Of course, no one should have been on the field with half a minute left in the game, and maybe the leaders of the Zona Zoo section could work on a method of preventing similar incidents in the future, but for now, it was nothing more than some oblivious students with the best intentions of supporting their beloved team. Yes it was silly, but stupid, embarrassing or the reason for losing? Not really. The student section is known for being rowdy and the Zona Zoo section definitely lived up to that reputation on Saturday, but maybe we are giving the fans’ role in the game more credit than necessary. The game is about the players and the coaches, and they all did well. The loss was a rough one, but we need to stop suffocating the enthusiasm and just support our student section and our Wildcats. The season is not over, so keep up the spirit for the USC game!

It doesn’t surprise me that Rachel Leavitt is a creative writing sophomore because what her writing lacks in logic and facts, it more than makes up for in creativity and needless adjectives. Words like “outrageous” and “atrocious” obscure the fact that Ms. Leavitt subjects her readers to the same ad hominem attacks Reps. Rogers and Jenkins use to poison the health care debate. Nowhere in Ms. Leavitt’s article is a reference to any page number or section of the House or Senate bills. In its place is the standard boilerplate rhetoric of Ms. Leavitt’s side of the argument (to combat the side of Reps. Rogers and Jenkins), which does nothing to educate or enlighten those thirsty masses of eager minds who want nothing more than to clearly understand an issue that is too often complicated by those who wish to push an agenda. We are all more ignorant of an important issue for reading what any of these three women have to write on this subject. Can we please formally retire the single mother working to support two kids anecdote? It’s old and meaningless due to overuse. And please spare us your simplistic style and lack of concern for a reasoned, structured argument.

A completely unremarkable vaccine Dunja Nedic columnist

s a result of all the stories about adverse reactions to the swine flu vaccine, I can’t say I approached it without apprehension. The night before it was made available free of cost to UA students under the age of 24, I told my paramedic friend that I intended to be vaccinated. Forgetting that I’m a hypochondriac, despite all the conversations in which she has had to reassure me that being a 21-year-old in perfect health does not make me vulnerable to pulmonary embolisms, she said she hoped nothing would go wrong. Waiting in line did little to settle my fears. As the nurses were preparing the first few needles, I heard one instruct another to make sure all of the air was out of the syringe. I remembered having heard that being injected with air kills you immediately, and I began to question whether the needles would still be sterile after being exposed to air. This is what happens when you are paranoid and lack knowledge about the workings of your object of fear. Although it is difficult to find conclusive statistics about the risks of the swine flu vaccine, what everyone seems to be overlooking is that, as asserted by Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “The

risk of H1N1 influenza is a lot greater than the risk of getting the vaccination.” Dr. Frieden, who is being paid a lot of money to know what he’s talking about, has not only said that the vaccine is safe, but also that it is more dangerous not to get it. Ignoring this advice seems counterintuitive; we are the species perhaps best equipped to ensure our own survival and yet many Americans are shunning the lesser of two evils, if you could even call them that. College students in particular have cause for concern, as people under the age of 24 make up one of the groups most at risk to suffer complications as a result of the swine flu. The H1N1 virus is dangerous and it makes no sense for the average, healthy young adult to avoid the vaccine. It might save your life, and will potentially prevent you from having to negotiate extensions with your professors late in the semester. Obviously, I cannot recommend the swine flu vaccine for every individual. But as someone whose parents have similarly weak immune systems and as a result, spends every third week of winter fighting off illness, I am confident it was the right decision for me. My arm was a little sore (although it’s nothing compared to the mother lode of needle-related pain that is Gardasil), but I am still walking perfectly both forwards and backwards. The media is always going to try and sell the most sensationalized story because it’s more interesting, which is why my completely unremarkable experience is not going to make international headlines or prompt Oprah to interview me. It was

like every other vaccine I’ve ever received, which have helped me avoid nasties such as hepatitis B, the measles and polio, to name a few. I’ve even been vaccinated against smallpox, though I’ve never fully understood why it was still of concern to Yugoslavian health officials in 1988. The reports of those who have suffered adverse side effects shouldn’t be ignored, but many people seem to have forgotten how to exercise a bit of risk assessment. Personally, I think the only reason we’re still talking about a virus that, quite frankly, has been something of a non-event is because swine is a funny-sounding word. It’s hideously unglamorous and at the very least, the vaccine will prevent you from having to tell cute people that you’ve “got the swine.” I wouldn’t say I’m pro-vaccine, but I am anti-unnecessarydeath, which was what sealed my decision to get the swine flu shot a week ago. Having already survived Australia’s uneventful “outbreak” of swine flu during our winter months gives me confidence that winter in the States is not going to produce a catastrophic H1N1 emergency either, but I still prefer to err on the side of caution. Chances are that everyone you know who has been inoculated found it as unexceptional as I did, and chances are that you would, too. And if you have doubts or concerns, talk to someone more qualified than I am. They’re not called health professionals for nothing. — Dunja Nedic is an Australian exchange student.

Field-rushing frenzy left plenty of bruises in ‘86 By Alex Dalenberg ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

rizona fans have taken some heat lately for their shenanigans since the Nov. 22 football game against Oregon, which included a premature field rushing and an Oregon cheerleader being struck by a water bottle. But history shows it’s been a lot worse around the Old Pueblo. According to the Daily Wildcat archives, four police officers and two fans were injured during a field-rushing fracas at Arizona Stadium that followed a 34-17 upset victory over archrival Arizona State University on Nov. 22, 1986. The underdog Wildcats victory over then-No.4 ASU had major implications, ending the previously undefeated Sun Devils’ chances at a national championship. That’s a far cry from Saturday’s battle for the Territorial Cup in Tempe, which saw the UA pull out a 20-17 victory over underdog ASU, which finds itself out of the hunt for a bowl game for a second straight year. Saturday’s game ended with a small scuffle between players at midfield, but no major disturbances. Maybe they don’t make rivalry games the way they used to. In the Nov. 24, 1986, issue, the Daily Wildcat’s Patrick Vincent reported that police restrained about 400 fans who rushed onto the field to tear down the goal posts. About 100 officers from the University of Arizona Police Department, the Tucson Police Department, the sheriff’s department, the Department of Public Safety and the Pima

Community College Police Department were on hand to defend the goal posts and conduct crowd control, Vincent wrote. After the game, a crush of fans rushed the field, pulling up turf and shouting,“Goal posts. Goal posts,” according to Vincent’s article, “Violence breaks out after game.” Fans made obscene gestures, threw cups and garbage at the police and rushed toward the officers guarding the goal posts, prompting them to strike many in the crowd with their nightsticks. The on-field sprinkler system was even turned on to disperse the crowd, but the tactic fans began directing the sprinklers against the police officers. Wes Harrison, 34, told the Daily Wildcat he was beaten by police after turning a sprinkler on the police. He said he was carried off the field with bruises on his upper and lower back, hip and ribs after being struck with a nightstick. He said friends took him to St. Joseph’s Hospital for treatment. Rene G. Kirchfeld, a UA graduate, told reporters he was tackled by police and knocked to the ground after being hit in the stomach with a nightstick. Other witnesses reported that Kirchfeld was taunting police who were protecting the goalposts, saying,“Come and get me.” A police report said Kirchfeld taunted officers with obscenities and threatened to kill them. He was cited and released afterward for criminal trespassing and disorderly conduct, the only person to be arrested after the incident. He was treated for his injuries on the scene.

“It was a nasty situation,” Kirchfeld told the Daily Wildcat. “At first I thought it was going to be a game,” he said, referring to the fans trying to get past the police officers and to the goal posts. According to the Daily Wildcat article, in another incident, a TPD officer was taken to University Medical Center for a possible groin or spleen injury after he fell during the confrontation with fans on the field. Then-Tucson City Councilman Brent L. Davis went so far as to compare the mêlée to the infamous riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, saying he was “visibly upset” by the incident. “I’m not defending the fans,” Davis said.“But people got hurt. This is bad PR for the university and for all the police departments involved.” Then-UA President Henry Koffler called the incident “very regrettable” and said the goal posts weren’t being defended to protect property, but to make sure no fans were hurt by trying to tear them down. The goal posts had been greased prior to the game to prevent such an incident from occuring. TPD officer Francis Jordan said afterward,“We took the brunt of this. We look like the bad guys.” A UAPD statement released after the game said police actions were necessary to “protect fans and officials from possible injury,” including the possibility of someone being struck with a falling goalpost. A UAPD spokesman did note, however, that the majority of fans were compliant and well behaved, remaining off the field.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Today, the student groups AIDS Safe & AALS will hold “A Day Without Art,” covering pieces of campus artwork in honor of World AIDS Day on December 1st.

If I was having sex in a pool, and my partner ejaculated in the pool, is it still possible to get pregnant?

A. If he ejaculated in the pool (but not in you), chances of pregnancy are almost zero. Sperm would be unlikely to survive the water temperature and the chemicals in the pool. Free-floating semen would disperse, become diluted, and the sperm would not have the propulsion (nor navigational skills) to make their way into your vagina.

If he ejaculated inside of you while you were having sex in the pool, yes, you could certainly get pregnant. Sperm ejaculated during vaginal intercourse don’t have far to travel from the top of the vagina, through the cervix, into the uterus and up the fallopian tubes (where fertilization usually takes place).

My boyfriend and I were fooling around last night... he is far too large to penetrate me, so we don’t worry about using a condom right now, but the pre-ejaculation was on my labia and outer urethra. Is there any possibility whatsoever that I can become pregnant?

A. Yes, there is a small chance. Pre-ejaculate (the alkaline liquid that comes out of the penis when a man becomes aroused or excited) is produced by the Cowper’s glands located near the top of the urethra. These glands don’t produce sperm. However, while the fluid moves from the glands to exit the penis, it can pick up sperm remaining in the urethra from previous ejaculations. Urinating prior to fooling around (or having intercourse) can help to “flush” sperm that may survive in the urethra. While your pregnancy risk is low in the situation you describe, even without penetration you are at high risk for acquiring a sexually transmitted

disease (STD) whenever you have intimate skinto-skin contact. Possibilities include herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), syphilis, and molluscum contagiosum. The good news is that you can greatly reduce your risk of exposure with condom use. Condoms are an excellent method of birth control and, next to abstinence, one of the best ways to prevent STDs. Since you mentioned your boyfriend is somewhat large, check out the Campus Health Pharmacy. You can buy popular Trojan “Magnum” condoms (larger sized) for just $24.00 per 100.

policebeat By Michael Merriman Arizona Daily Wildcat

Intoxicated pedestrian fails to yield for stop sign

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol in the area of Helen Street and Fremont Avenue on Nov. 20 at 9:50 p.m. when they observed what appeared to be an intoxicated male. The man was having difficulty walking and struck his head on a stop sign. The collision knocked the man to the ground and he was unable to get back to his feet. Officers made contact with the man to check on his welfare. He showed several indications of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. He identified himself with a Virginia driver’s license and admitted to drinking five to six beers within the previous hour and a half. Officers attempted to issue the man a citation for minor with spirituous liquor in the body, but the man objected, claiming that he had never been given a breath test. Officers told the man that he was welcome to submit to such a test, but reminded him that he had admitted to consuming alcohol. He replied that he had forgotten that he had admitted to drinking. He was issued the citation and released on scene.

Marijuana smokers state the obvious during questioning

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall on Nov. 21 at 2:22 a.m. in reference to a report of the odor of marijuana coming from one of the rooms. Upon arrival, officers met with a Resident Assistant who led them to a room on the third floor were the odor was detected. Officers verified that the odor was coming from the room and knocked on the door. A male resident answered and officers noticed the odor was stronger once the door was open. They asked the man if they had permission to enter the room and he responded that they did. Once inside, officers noticed a blue and brown glass pipe on a chair in the center of the room. Officers told the man that the room smelled of marijuana and the man replied,“Yeah, that’s because we were smoking in here.” Police asked if there was any more marijuana in the room and the man pointed to a bed where several pieces of marijuana were arranged on the comforter. Officers also observed a plastic bag on the bed that contained a second pipe. The man admitted that the pipe was used for marijuana but claimed it had not been used that day. The man was cited on charges of possession of marijuana and possession of narcotics paraphernalia. He was released on scene and the incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Man leaves common sense at home, brings drugs to police station

UAPD officers arrested a man on Nov. 21 at 5:40 a.m. in connection with a felony warrant. According to police, the man entered the UAPD station to take custody of a suspect in a DUI case. Officers performed a records check on the man and discovered the outstanding warrant, issued by the state of Ohio. They placed the man into custody and performed a search of his person. They discovered a folding knife, four marijuana seeds, and two oxycodone/acetaminophen tablets in his possession. The man asked police,“They are just seeds, can’t we throw them away or something?” He then admitted to being on probation in the state of Arizona, but claimed that the warrant was for his wife and not for him. He was transported to Pima County Jail and his probation officer was contacted.

Man makes appearance in jail, not on ESPN

UAPD officers were on patrol on the UA Mall on Nov. 21 at 6:30 a.m. when they observed a man pushing a woman and yelling at people in the crowd gathered for ESPN’s “College GameDay” coverage. Officers asked the man to exit the fenced area near the stage, at which point he became agitated and uncooperative and started to resist officers. They wrestled him to the ground, and, after a brief struggle, placed him in handcuffs. He continued to try to fight with officers while they escorted him to a nearby patrol vehicle. He was placed into the vehicle and eventually calmed down and ceased resisting. According to police, the man’s eyes were bloodshot and the strong smell of intoxicants was coming from his mouth as he spoke. He was identified with an Arizona driver’s license, which showed him to be under the legal drinking age. A records check revealed that he had an outstanding warrant issued by UAPD for failure to appear. He was cited on charges of minor with spirituous liquor in the body and disorderly conduct. He was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked. The incident has been referred to the Dean of Students Office.

Curtis Sander, left, and Russel Potter play the steel drums at the UA Steel concert Sunday night. The concert featured a variety of traditional and contemporary music for the instrument, which originated in the 1950s in Trinidad and Tobago.

An instrument of necessity

Crowder Hall felt an island breeze last night with a double-header performance by the UA’s two steel drum bands, Blue Steel and UA Steel. The bands are in their 23rd year and play the traditional music of Trinidad and Tobago, with instruments ranging from the small lead pan to the tamboo bamboo, a hollow bamboo tube dropped vertically on the ground to produce a deep thump. Last night’s concert also featured trombone professor Moises Paiewonsky as a guest performer. Paiewonsky worked with students in the group on improvisation, a prominent attribute of the music. The bands are directed by graduate students in the percussion studio, who are responsible for selecting material and leading rehearsals,

Norman Weinberg, director of percussion studies, said. Stephen Tipping and Eric Hines, both master’s students in music, direct the groups. “(Tipping and Hines) have carte blanche to do whatever they want,”Weinberg said.“If the concert comes off, it’s because they pulled it off. If it falls through, it’s because they fell through.” Many students join the group with no steel drum experience but quickly get hooked, Tipping said.“It gets addicting.” Higher education doctoral student Russel Potter is a textbook case. Potter joined the group as an undergraduate in 1993 and has been around ever since. His reason? “It’s more fun than anything else,” he said. —Arizona Daily Wildcat

Devils drop the ball

A special day Special teams unit key to Arizona win

COMMENTARY By Bobby Stover sports writer

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Special teamer Orlando Vargas blocks ASU punter Trevor Hankins’ kick in the second quarter of Arizona’s 20-17 victory in Tempe. Vargas returned the blocked punt 32 yards for a touchdown to help the Arizona to their second Duel in the Desert win in a row.

Wildcats use big plays to overcome stingy Sun Devils in Duel in the Desert difficult time getting anything going offensively. Aside from sophomore running back Keola Antolin’s 67-yard touchdown run, Arizona only mustered 198 yards of offense. With the Sun Devils’ defense living up to its reputation, half the Wildcats’ points came from big special teams plays. Sophomore Orlando Vargas blocked an ASU punt, corralled the loose ball and scampered 23 yards for a touchdown, giving Arizona a 14-0 lead going into halftime. But it was an odd play at the end of the game that turned the tide in the Wildcats’ favor. After ASU senior wideout Kyle Williams willed his team back into the game — hauling in two touchdown grabs in the fourth quarter, the second of which, with 2:02 left in the contest,

By Brian Kimball ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT TEMPE — An unlucky play in Seattle cost the Arizona football team a win, and a bad bounce in Berkeley dealt the Wildcats another tough loss in Pacific 10 Conference play. But against ASU, the ball bounced in Arizona’s favor and gave the Wildcats (7-4, 5-3 Pac10) a last-second win against the Sun Devils (4-8, 2-7 Pac-10). “I think you’ve got to believe the situations even out through life and through football. It’s got to, it doesn’t make any other sense,” said UA head coach Mike Stoops. This Saturday, before 55,989 fans at Sun Devil Stadium, the Wildcats had a

tied the game at 17 — UA redshirt junior Mike Turner made the most of an opportunity to change the game. Williams was standing at the ASU 22-yard line and positioned himself to field the oncoming punt, but he didn’t catch the ball cleanly. “I just ran down there and the next thing you know, boop, it was in my hands,”Turner said with a smile. Turner scooped up the ball and ran into the end zone, but unlike a fumble, a defensive player can’t advance a muffed punt. That gave the Wildcats the ball with 1:03 left in the game and ASU out of timeouts. Arizona ran the ball three times and called its last timeout with five seconds remaining, setting the stage for sophomore kicker Alex Zendejas.

“I’ve been anxious to get into this position the whole year,” said Zendejas, a Glendale native. “We’ve been close a couple of times, and (Saturday) it felt good to have the chance in front of my home town.” The win was Arizona’s second in a row against ASU, but this one held a special significance. The win in Tempe against a scrappy ASU squad reminded UA’s players that nothing should be taken for granted. “It was just a good feeling coming out here and hearing all the talking that they had and beating those guys at the last second,” said UA senior wide receiver Terrell Turner. “Coach Mike said it was going to be a 60-minute game and he was right, exactly 60 minutes on the dot.”

THAT’S WHAT THEY SAID

Cam Nelson safety

On whether the team was due for a bounce in its favor: Yeah, I think we were for the most part. I think it’s been a while. All season, things were swinging the other way when it gets down to those close games. I think it was time for something to swing our way, and it did. And hopefully we can get something else to swing our way this coming week.

Head coach Mike Stoops on Mike Turner’s play at the end of the game: The coverage, I think those are the little things that I think goes unnoticed. I thought Mike Turner was as big a player in the game as any. His ability to get down and beat his man at the line and cover, it may seem like a small thing but that was a huge play for us.

On his missed field goal early in the game: Honestly, it wasn’t that I hit the ball wrong when I made my first miss, it’s just the timing was off. That threw me off. I knew it wasn’t a bad kick, so my Alex Zendejas confidence was still up there. I kicker knew I was going to get more opportunities to come out there and put one through.

Three things that we learned from a tough time in paradise Editor’s note: The Arizona men’s basketball team finished the Maui Invitational in sixth place and with a 1-2 tournament record to put its season record at 3-2. While the losses were certainly disappointing for the Wildcats, the young squad saw adversity for the first time and gave fans an idea of the challenges that lie ahead for head coach Sean Miller’s squad. Here are a few things we learned about the team after the tournament. Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Solomon Hill

1) He told us so

Before the start of the season, Sean Miller made it clear he would temper his team’s expectations. “It’s something that can really be damaging to this year’s team,” Miller said of Arizona’s streak of NCAA Tournament appearances. “It’s something we can’t control.”

Reality in Maui By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

rizona head coach Mike Stoops walked out of the visiting locker room behind Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe on Saturday with his wife by his side, his daughter in his arms and a relieved grin on his face. Less than 30 minutes earlier, Stoops’ face showed a look of disbelief as he watched the ASU offense celebrate the equalizing touchdown. Little did he expect the series of quirky events that would follow to eventually lead to him sitting at the postgame press conference with the Saguaro Trophy — given to the game’s winning coach — on his right and the Territorial Cup on his left. So many times this season, Stoops and the Wildcats have seen similar situations, but finally the bounce went Arizona’s way in a 20-17 victory. “I don’t know how much more I can take,”Stoops said.“You’ve got to take what comes at you.You play the percentages and you play the game and hopefully you get a play. They created a turnover and that’s what we needed. “I’m certainly proud of our team and our effort throughout the course of that game,”he added.“It wasn’t easy.” While Arizona eventually managed a narrow escape, the scenario that led the Wildcats to the final seconds of the game was far from predictable. Arizona never unleashed an offensive assault headed by its leader, quarterback Nick Foles. Quite frankly, Arizona was flat all game long. “We didn’t play our best, let’s put it that way,”said offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes.“To lose a game like we lost last week against Oregon and then play a rivalry game is a difficult thing to do. We’re not making excuses, but it was hard, and ASU just played very nice defense.” Whatever the reason, Arizona’s offense throughout the first half

Despite a successful two-month recruiting binge, the head coach’s warnings couldn’t be closer to the truth through the team’s first five contests. In Maui, the Wildcats often appeared discombobulated, as highlighted in their first loss, a 65-61 game against Wisconsin. They failed to score until six minutes had ticked off the clock. Then there were the flashes of talent that Miller hopes will make consistent appearances at McKale Center as the season progresses. Freshman Solomon Hill scored 17 points in the team’s 84-72 loss to Vanderbilt on Wednesday and sophomore guard Brendon Lavender showed potential with a 16-point effort in a 9187 overtime win against the Colorado Buffaloes the day prior. Now, the team returns to Tucson with experience in its pockets and a clearer view of the difficult challenges that lie ahead.

2) Main target

Arizona basketball’s season only goes as far as senior Nic Wise takes it, and that all begins with HOOPS, page 11

Offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes: We’ve been through so many games like this and had it go the other way. I feel like it was a little bit of redemption for us, to get a break down the stretch and win one. We probably (pauses) we didn’t play our best, let’s put it that way. Our kids really played their hearts out and really hung in there … but we had a hard time getting much going.

On his touchdown: Two punts prior to that they weren’t hitting me, they were just letting me go and I thought, ‘I could block this.’ So next time they did the same thing and I just crossed in front of his face Orlando Vargas and put both my hands out and special teams blocked it. I was surprised. I saw it rolling and I was like, ‘I can pick this up,’ so I just grabbed it

Coaching decision made too quickly COMMENTARY By Vincent Balistreri

sports writer

eeing Pacific 10 Conference representatives Stanford and UCLA set to face off in the semi-finals of the 2009 NCAA Soccer Championships, I wondered two things. When will Arizona’s soccer team ever get back to the tournament? And why weren’t any of the coaches in the tournament even considered for an interview to fill Arizona’s coaching vacancy? Four days after Arizona soccer ended a forgettable season filled with empty box scores, heartbreaking losses and an

unforeseen coaching change, Jim Livengood acted swiftly in moving the program into a new era. Livengood named co-interim head coach Lisa Oyen the new head coach on Nov. 12, exactly one month after Dan Tobias resigned for personal reasons. That decision came amid controversy when former midfielder Leila Amini said that the soccer program was deteriorating after she left the team. Quite frankly, Livengood’s decision came far too quickly for a program that has had its share of controversial player-coach relationships. The history of the program should have been looked at before making a four-day decision. In 1994, the program’s inaugural season began under head coach Lisa Fraser. During her tenure, she was unable to come up with one winning SOCCER, page 12

Wildcat volleyball returns to NCAAs By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat

Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona receiver Terrell Turner rises to his feet before ASU safety Ryan McFoy received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in Saturday’s game. Arizona’s victory against the Sun Devils shows the arrival of Wildcat football as the premier NCAA team in the state of Arizona.

Role reversal

UA no longer looking up to their rivals from Tempe By Michael Fitzsimmons Arizona Daily Wildcat The date is Oct. 28, 2007, and the ASU football team is ranked No. 4 in the Bowl Championship Series standings. A couple of weeks later, ASU defeated Arizona 20-17 in Tempe, crushing the Wildcats’ hopes for the program’s first bowl appearance in nine years and putting them in sixth place in the Pacific 10 Conference. The win for ASU clinched a co-Pac-10 Conference title with USC, and the Sun Devils moved on to lose to Texas in the Holiday Bowl. With head coach Dennis Erickson bringing in top recruits in his first year and quarterback Rudy Carpenter returning for his senior season, the future looked bright for the football team in Tempe. Flash forward to Saturday, where Arizona knocked off ASU 20-17 at Sun Devil Stadium. “That was fun,” Stoops said after the win. “It’s a lot different than it was two years ago, that’s for sure. I think (ASU fans) were throwing stuff on me for other reasons then, it might have been our fans too.” The home team left the field dejected after its last game of the year, while the Wildcats gained a shot at playing in the Holiday Bowl. Since ASU’s 2007 campaign in which it won 10 games, it has totaled a combined nine wins in two years, and with the loss to Arizona, the Sun Devils have to deal with their first consecutive losing seasons since 1946-1947. It seems, for now, that the two programs have taken 180-degree turns from two years ago. But what exactly caused the sudden change in direction? For starters, it began before Erickson even got to Tempe, when former ASU coach Dirk Koetter left the program. The coaching change caused then-Sun Devil recruit Nick Foles to commit to play quarterback at Michigan State,

and ultimately end up in Tucson. Inconsistency at quarterback has plagued ASU ever since the beginning of last season, primarily this year, when the Sun Devils shuffled through three different starters at the position. Foles has given Arizona a legitimate starting quarterback for the next two seasons, showing how the hard work by coaches in the off-season has turned the program around. “Our coaches do a great job of recruiting kids,” senior Terrell Turner said. “We’re getting guys in and getting guys developed with our strength and conditioning and our academics and things like that.” Arizona coaches have also changed the attitude of the players, forcing them to work for their success while doing their jobs at practice every day. This makes a game like Saturday taste that much sweeter. “Even if you take a summer job and work for a Pinto, that’s better than getting a (Mercedes) Benz,” Turner explained.“You’ll take care of that Pinto like it’s your last. I’ll remember this season so much because we’ve come so far in the past three years that we’ve been here. “Anything that you work for and have success in feels much better than anything that’s been given to you,” he added. In a heated rivalry like the one these two programs share, there is always plenty of trash talking to go around. For now, the Wildcats will look to continue about their business quietly, avoiding what senior safety Cam Nelson sees as karma. “(ASU) did a lot of stuff, a lot of talking and things like that. I think it came back and haunted them for the most part,” Nelson said. “We don’t wish anything bad upon anybody because they’re still a good team,” Nelson added. “They’ve just had a lot of unfortunate endings like we have … that’s why we try and keep quiet and just play and let things happen.”

The Arizona volleyball team has clinched a berth in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005 after completing its Pacific 10 Conference season this weekend. The No. 19 Wildcats (19-10, 8-10 Pac-10) will face off against Texas A&M on Friday in Baton Rouge, La. Tulane and Louisiana State University, the host school, fill out the bracket in the first round of tournament action. “I’ve always said there’s three different seasons throughout the year,” head coach Dave Rubio said.“There’s the non-conference season, the conference season and the postseason. Everything you do throughout the year is in preparation for what you’re going to face in the postseason.” Rubio and the Wildcats have traditionally fared well in the tournament, posting a 22-12 record in twelve previous trips. Arizona is one of eight Pac-10 teams that were selected to participate in postseason action. Along with UCLA, Washington, California, USC, Oregon, Washington State and conference winner Stanford, Arizona will look to represent the rich volleyball Pac-10 with success. The Wildcats began the year coming off a difficult snub at the end of the end of the 2008 season, when they did not receive an invitation from the selections committee. Arizona then proceeded to go 12-0 in non-conference games, vaulting the team into the national rankings. “I’m certainly excited and proud of the team. It’s been a lot of hard work to get back there, especially in our conference,” said Rubio.“There have been quite a lot of sacrifices on everyone’s part to get us back to where we were, and we’re excited to move on to the tournament.” As the non-conference opponents faded away, Arizona was faced with the high level of competition in the Pac-10. Although getting swept in Los Angeles this weekend did not provide Arizona with the end it had hoped for, the Wildcats still walked away with a ticket to the tournament. Rubio and the Wildcats will face the Aggies at 5 p.m. CT on Dec. 4. Should they advance past Texas A&M, Arizona will play on Saturday, Dec. 5, at 7:30 p.m. CT. “It’s the teams that can play to their potential and can play to their level during the tournament that are the teams that are going to go from round to round,” Rubio said. “We’re just going to do our thing.”

‘Cats swept in Los Angeles

Although Sunday’s selection to the NCAA Tournament was a day of celebration for the Wildcats, the weekend didn’t start on such a good note. Arizona fell at the hands of both

No. 9 UCLA and No. 16 USC over the weekend in two matches that set the Wildcats at seventh place in the conference with a sub-par 8-10 record. But for head coach Dave Rubio, the losses at the end of the seasons don’t necessarily inspire panic. “I think we’re playing some of our best volleyball right now,” Rubio said. “It’s a product of a process we’ve been going through the last several months.” On Friday, Arizona must have had a turkey hangover. It dropped the match against the Bruins (23-8 13-5, Pac-10) 3-0 and never registered more than 17 points in a set during the match. The Wildcats’ attack struggled, and they were not able to get many hitters going early on. Although Tiffany Owens recorded another double-double on the season with 16 digs and 16 kills, three other hitters had negative attacking percentages. The Bruins jumped out to early leads in each of the sets before going on large runs in their favor to run up the scoreboard. “The UCLA game, we just didn’t play well at all. We played terrible,” Rubio said. “UCLA played very well and they completely took us out of our game.” Although the next night’s match would end with the same result — a loss — Arizona’s style and fight was undeniably back. The Wildcats played four sets in the match against USC (21-9, 10-8), but this time exhibited some of the best volleyball of the season. “The following day we had a terrific match against USC and that could have gone either way, but it was one of the best matches we played all year,” Rubio said. “I felt like we were really engaged and invested in that match. Even though we ended on a loss, I thought it was great for us to compete at that level and that hard.” The Wildcats played four highly contested sets before falling 3-1 in the match. Both Owens and fellow junior outside hitter Whitney Dosty had more than 20 kills and each recorded doubledoubles. Arizona took the first set before falling in game two 25-23. Game three not only went to extra points but went especially high under the new scoring rules. The Wildcats dropped the set 36-34, but the competitive nature of the game kept them in the match mentally. “It’s rare,” said Rubio of the high scoring in the third set.“It may be the highest point-scoring total for me, but it went back and forth.” That set described the match in a nutshell. Although they rallied and tied the score at various times during the game, the Wildcats were just never able to close out the set and get the upper hand. “It was just one of those really terrific volleyball games that, unfortunately, someone had to lose,” said Rubio.

continued from page 9 was more bland than a rice cake. At the half, the Wildcats had only amassed 166 yards of total offense and 67 of those came on one play, a career-long touchdown jaunt by running back Keola Antolin. The second half didn’t get much better. Foles and his offense failed to reach the end zone and sat idly by as ASU began steadily erasing its deficit until, once again, Arizona found itself in a situation all too familiar. Arizona’s defense, which had been dominant all day long, was wavering, and the Wildcats found themselves on the brink of losing a game that at one point was all but won. But then came Arizona’s saving grace, the only part of the Wildcats’ team that had played and performed well nearly all game long — special teams. The unit had already accounted for 10 of Arizona’s 17 points. Kicker Alex Zendejas had gone one for two in field goal attempts — one was blocked — and special teamer Orlando Vargas had blocked an ASU punt and scooped up the loose ball for the Wildcats’ second score. Minus Antolin’s big run in the first quarter, the special teams provided the rest of Arizona’s scoring. “It’s good to come out here and have special teams be such a big part of the win,”Vargas said.“We come out every game and want to do something big. Not necessarily a punt return or block, just something good. And that’s all we wanted to come out and do today.” It came as a fitting end that the game’s defining play, a muffed punt return by ASU’s Kyle Williams, came on a special teams effort. There would be no offensive touchdown to end the game. Stoops played to set up the field goal, to let the players on his team that had the most success get the opportunity to seal the win. The biggest responsibility was given to Zendejas, whose season has been littered with inconsistency. The sophomore came into the game 15 of 19 on field goal attempts and had given the coaching staff reason not to depend on his leg. But in a game where the special teams unit dominated, it was only right that the Territorial Cup was won by the same group. “Every kick, you never know,” said special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt.“I’m just really proud of Alex. I’ve always had confidence in him and it’s great to have him get that opportunity.” After the game, little media attention was given to Foles or even Antolin, the game’s MVP. The stars were Zendejas, Vargas and Mike Turner, who recovered Williams’ botched punt. The players appeared to soak it in — like they should — because for a special teamer, these days don’t come around too often. — Bobby Stover is a material sciences and engineering senior.

Six days after a discouraging loss at San Diego State, the Wildcats earned their second straight victory by defeating the University of San Diego Toreros 65-55 on Friday night. Arizona (4-1) was led by two of its post players, juniors Ify Ibekwe and Soana Lucet, who combined for 37 points in the winning effort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think today was the game where (Lucet and I) felt like we were feeding off each other,â&#x20AC;? Ibekwe said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know where each other are going to be at on the floor.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats overcame a sluggish start early in the first half, as an Ibekwe layup with 10:17 to go in the first half broke an 18-18 tie, and sparked a 21-11 run that carried Arizona into the locker room with a 39-29 lead. The team was able to maintain a comfortable lead for most of the second half, due in large part to a stingy Wildcat defense that forced 21 Torero turnovers and resulted in the offense scoring 26 points off of takeaways. Defensive improvement was the focus prior to Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, and head coach Niya Butts was pleased to see her defense step up and make plays against the Toreros (3-3). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we played in spurts tonight, but at times there were some really good moments where I thought we were doing the things defensively that we needed to do, so I think that made the difference,â&#x20AC;?Butts said. In the second half, an offensive drought for Arizona that lasted more than two minutes allowed USD to claw its way within three points of tying the game, closing the gap to 53-50. Lucet, who finished with a game-high 22 points, hit a layup at 8:28 to begin a 10-0 run for Arizona, which allowed it to pull away late in the second half. Meanwhile, the Wildcat defense shut down the Toreros, allowing only five points in the last eight minutes of the game to secure the 65-55 victory.

him being the best scorer on the team. While that fact is obvious, the real challenge comes in how Sean Miller and his staff will deal with opposing defenses targeting the veteran point guard and taking him out of the game. In the Maui Invitational, Wise scored 13 and 9 points, respectively, in the two losses while shooting a dismal 7-for-25 from the field. He dropped 30 points in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single victory despite fighting through foul problems. He saw that same problem in all three contests, committing no fewer than three fouls in each game. Opposing teams will likely look to attack Wise in one-on-one situations to put him in foul trouble, and, thus, keep his aggressiveness in check. That will force inconsistent and unproven scorers, such as Lavender and Hill, to consistently pour in the points. Even junior Jamelle Horne , the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second most experienced player, has yet to become a serious scoring threat. Though he is more of an energy, do-it-all type of player, Horne will be relied upon to help out Wise even more, which he did in a 17-point outing in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone win, shooting 5-for-5

from beyond the three-point arc. But so far, no second scoring option has arisen, and until that happens, Wise will be forced to carry the load.

3) Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; will

Freshman Derrick Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; strength and athleticism are clearly his advantages, but in Maui, the 6-foot-8, 235 pound forward/center showed that he knows how to use those attributes. In Game 1 against Wisconsin, Williams scored 25 points, but 13 of those came from the free throw stripe. He tallied a block in each game and showed his aggressiveness on the boards, an area the undersized Wildcats have been looking to improve on early this season. And for the first time, Miller placed Williams beside fellow freshman Kyryl Natyazhko in the frontcourt in a lineup he has been reluctant to use, saying he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to force Williams to learn two positions at one time. Williams took advantage of his increased responsibilities and played 32 minutes in each of the first two games before getting into foul trouble in the third contest against Vanderbilt.

Ibekwe finished the game with 11 rebounds, good enough to register her fifth-straight double-double, while sophomore Brooke Jackson continued to contribute on the offensive end by netting 10 points in the game. The win for Arizona moved its record to 3-1 on the road this year, an encouraging sign for a team that is continuing to learn how to play together. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game shed light on how the growth and development of the team will dictate how far it goes. Lucet and Ibekweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chemistry helped the Wildcats return to Tucson with a win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;4-1 is definitely better than 3-2, so anytime you can come out with a victory, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take that,â&#x20AC;?Butts said. Arizona returns to the court again on Friday to take on the University of Nevada, Reno, beginning a two-game home stand at McKale Center.

NFL HITS Young rallies Titans to 20-17 win over Cardinals

NASHVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vince Young outdueled Matt Leinart again with yet another spectacular winning drive. Young hit a leaping Kenny Britt for a 10-yard touchdown as time expired, and the Tennessee Titans rallied to beat the Arizona Cardinals 20-17 Sunday for their fifth straight victory. Young won his ninth straight start and improved to 23-11 in his career by driving the Titans 99 yards in the final 2:37. He converted three fourth downs on the drive, two to Britt. He threw for a career-high 387 yards in beating Leinart in their first meeting as professionals and first overall since the BCS national championship in January 2006. The Titans (5-6) have not lost since Young replaced Kerry Collins as the starter. They are the first team to win

five in a row after starting 0-6. Arizona (7-4) snapped a threegame winning streak. Leinart made his first start since Oct. 7, 2007 as the Cardinals sat Kurt Warner with a sore neck, looking ahead to an NFC matchup with Minnesota next week. Leinart threw for 220 yards, LaRod Stephens-Howling returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown and Tim Hightower also ran for a TD for Arizona. But the Cardinals lost for the first time this season away from home with Warner watching from the sideline wearing sweats.

Kruger set up a 29-yard field goal by Billy Cundiff with 6:42 left in the extra session, giving the Baltimore Ravens a 20-17 victory Sunday night. Dixon started because Ben Roethlisberger was sidelined with a concussion and backup Charlie Batch had a broken left wrist. Dixon had thrown only one pass in two seasons before getting the nod against the Ravens. For much of the game, Dixon did his best impersonation of Roethlisberger. He threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes, and even added a personal touch, running for a 24yard touchdown to put Pittsburgh up 17-14 in the fourth quarter. But in overtime, Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone turnover provided the Ravens (6-5) a muchneeded win and sent the Steelers (6-5) to their third straight defeat â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their longest skid since a three-game run in 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Associated Press

season, and had a record of 32-68-6 when she left the team in 1999 for what was said to be personal reasons. It was reported by the Daily Wildcat on Nov. 22, 1999, that Fraser was pressured by her players to resign and even had a petition calling for her resignation. Players acknowledged that there had been a petition but declined to comment. In 2000, Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor, Cathy Klein, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much luck in trying to lead the program to its first winning season. She resigned in 2002 in order to pursue her doctorate and a career in administration. Then in 2003 came Dan Tobias, who in his first three seasons appeared to be Arizona soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of legendary menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball head coach Lute Olson after leading the Wildcats to their first two winning seasons with a Pac-10 title (2004) and a Sweet 16 appearance (2005). But 2005 would be Tobiasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last winning season before his own resignation. After two straight seasons of success, Arizona soccer gradually returned to its losing ways in the next three seasons, with records of 8-10-2, 6-13-1, 9-11 and 3-9-1, before Tobias resigned on Oct. 12. For a program with such turmoil marking its 15-year history, there should have been an extensive interview process to ensure that the right person was chosen. But instead there was a hasty decision. This is no knock on Oyen, who did an outstanding job with assistant John Galas taking the reins of the team midway through the season. In the first three games that Galas and Oyen coached, the team played inspiringly, even winning a thriller against rival

Arizona State. But in the final four games, the Wildcats reverted back to their old ways, and were shut out in three of those games. This is not to say that Oyen shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been hired, but Livengood should have at least looked at more options outside of the UA before making the decision. In a program with more losses and controversies than any team at Arizona, it is now clear why these problems continue to occur. The athletic department has acted carelessly and inadequately when it comes to the soccer program. A few days after Tobias resigned, Livengood was adamant that the coaching search would begin after the end of the season out of respect to the players. Waiting until the season ended was understandable, but making the decision in four days before the NCAA tournament had even begun didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show the players that the Arizona athletic department cares about the soccer program. Of course, no one ever expected the process to resemble a search for a basketball or football coach, but the soccer programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history suggests that the search, if you can call it that, should have lasted closer to four weeks than four days. The Arizona soccer community should support Oyen and hope she makes Livengood look good in a decision that was far too fast. But if Oyenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenure is anything like the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous three coaches, the Arizona athletics department only has itself to blame. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Vincent Balistreri is a journalism senior.
