ASUA stands with troubled lobbying organization RACHEL MCCLUSKEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

Despite the recent tumult surrounding the Arizona Students’ Association, the UA’s undergraduate student government formally declared its support for the student-funded lobbying group.

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate passed a resolution on Wednesday night declaring its support for ASA, a nonpartisan organization funded through student fee money collected at the UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University.

ASA’s board of directors is composed of student representatives from the UA and NAU, and included representatives from ASU up until late September, when they resigned from the board over allegations of misspending.

ASU’s Tempe Undergraduate Student Government Senate recommended severing its formal ties to ASA in late October.

Despite criticism, union plans to keep Chick-fil-A on campus BRITTNY MEJIA Arizona Daily Wildcat

A variety of speakers voiced their opinions and expressed their concerns about the Chick-fil-A restaurant located in the student union at an open forum hosted Wednesday night.

The Institute for LGBT studies and the LGBTQ Student Affairs Office hosted the “Teach Out” event, which featured six speakers,

including Melissa Vito, vice president of Student Affairs, and Joel Hauff, interim director of Arizona Student Unions. The event was held in response to concern from the LGBTQ community about the presence of the restaurant on campus.

“Our goal was just to create a forum where people could have informed conversation and get some good information and use it in whatever way they decide to use

it,” said Susan Stryker, director of the Institute for LGBT Studies.

Following background information on Chick-fil-A and controversy regarding President and Chief Operating Officer Dan Cathy’s comments opposing samesex marriage, audience members listened as Tom Buchanan, the development director for the Institute of LGBT Studies, shared his thoughts on the franchise.

“All I have to say is on a personal

level, it turns my stomach every time I walk through the union and see that we have a Chick-fil-A in our student union,” Buchanan said. “It offends me.”

Buchanan acknowledged the right of the community to eat at Chick-fil-A if they wanted to, but also said he was concerned whether or not they “know what it is they’re supporting in doing that.”

UA Career Services hosted on Wednesday its biggest UA Graduate School Day since the office started the event six years ago.

The event gave undergraduate students the opportunity to talk to recruiters from 102 different graduate programs around the country and learn about the cost, application process and what they should be doing early on to prepare for graduate school.

“I’ve learned a lot,” said Jacob Netemeyer, an environmental studies senior. “I try to ask just general questions, not necessarily about the person’s school. Most of the time, people seem very knowledgeable.”

“Hopefully it’s helpful,” Miller-Pinhey said. “Of course the recruiters have to be happy with the caliber of our students attending or they wouldn’t come back.”

Mayo Clinic’s medical education department has had a table in previous years, according to Jenny Ho, the clinic’s education administrator. Ho said she noticed that students are attending the fair earlier on in their undergraduate career this semester, which allows her to offer them an internship that the college only offers to sophomores and juniors.

Robots pave way for future of surgery KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

Robots manufacture cars every single day and roam the surfaces of distant planets, but it’s not as common for mechanical devices to perform complex surgeries.

That’s exactly what they did at the University of Arizona Medical Center this summer.

Three surgeons performed a fully robotic, total pancreatectomy and a simultaneous autologous islet transplant. The surgical team included Dr. Rainer W.G. Gruessner, a professor and chairman of the Department of Surgery; Dr. Horacio Rilo, the director of the cellular transplantation program; and Dr. Carlos Galvani, the director of minimally invasive and robotic surgery.

Although it wasn’t the first surgery of its kind attempted robotically, a total pancreatectomy with a simultaneous islet transplant had never before been completed with the use of a robot.

Fully robotic surgery is the way of the future for curing patients with chronic pancreatitis, said Gruessner.

forum

from page 1

When Melissa Vito spoke, she addressed Chick-fil-A’s financial success, which is relevant because “the union is about 94 percent selfsupporting” and also helps support other areas on campus.

However, she went on to describe discussions with President Ann Weaver Hart and with union staff regarding what it would take to get out of the agreement with the restaurant.

“I would love to find a way that we could find something that would be as profitable as Chick-fil-A that weren’t Chick-fil-A,” Vito said. “I suspect that there are things like that that exist, but it’s harder than it seems.”

Vito said having Chick-fil-A on campus is not breaking any laws, but it is something she would like to look at. After she spoke, Vito answered questions from audience members on topics such as personnel policies and what percentage of the union restaurant’s revenue actually goes back to the company.

Hauff explained that the arrangement between the UA and Chick-fil-A’s licensing agreement calls for the restaurant to be paid 10 percent of gross revenues per year.

Additionally, 22 percent of the profits

“It needs to be done in expert hands,” Gruessner said. “This is probably as complex and complicated as it gets in the field of general surgery. Not every surgeon has the patience or skills to do this kind of a procedure.”

Total pancreatectomies require the removal of the entire pancreas — its head, body and tail — as well as the removal of the gall bladder, which is attached to the pancreas.

In addition, the pancreas’ close location to other major organs within the body is what makes the procedure so advanced.

“The pancreas, if you look it up in an anatomy book, it’s really in prime real estate in the abdomen,” Gruessner said.

Chronic pancreatitis isn’t exactly a life-threatening disease, said Rilo, but the overwhelming pain caused by the disease severely disrupts daily activities, such as driving a car or working.

“These patients have incredible pain, so they can’t pretty much live with this kind of pain,” Rilo said.

“When you ask them what degree of pain they have (on a scale of 1 to 10), they all say 15 or 20.”

per year stay with the university.

Hauff explained that the Chickfil-A located in the union makes 30 to 40 percent profit per year and about 22 to 25 percent of that profit goes to the university.

Before the forum opened to questions from the audience, Hauff explained that Chick-fil-A is extremely successful and that in the 2012 fiscal year, the restaurant returned $351,400 to the Arizona Student Unions, which goes to support other things the unions do.

The restaurant also returned $66,300 to the university through an administrative service charge, Hauff added. On a $1.5 million operation, Hauff said this is almost a 33 percent return.

Despite this return to the university, Hauff expressed a desire that Chick-fil-A executives not promote their beliefs through the company.

“I wish more than anything else that Dan Cathy could learn to just keep his business private, that he didn’t use Chick-fil-A as a forum for his views,” Hauff said.

Hauff fielded a majority of questions regarding the workings of the student union and the process of getting franchises on campus.

When a student asked whether or not the union would end its contract

That pain led Tami Alveshere, a 39-year-old woman from North Dakota, to participate in the pioneer surgery on July 5. But the three surgeons weren’t the only stars of the show. The da Vinci robotic surgical system assisted in completing the world’s first successful fully robotic total pancreatectomy.

Galvani controlled the machine through a console several feet away from the patient. He saw a threedimensional view inside the body as the robot operated.

“

The pancreas, if you look it up in an anatomy book, it’s really in prime real estate in the abdomen.

“

­— Dr. Rainer W.G. Gruesser chairman, department of surgery

It’s more like computer-assisted surgery than anything else, Galvani said. The robot makes the movements more precise and also eliminates trembling.

“Doing it with the robot facilitated the surgery quite a bit,” he added.

“It’s like having your hands inside of the patient, but in a very small size.”

In the past, several surgical teams completed partial pancreatectomies, including one in 2007, which Galvani served on as an assisting surgeon with a team from the University of Illinois, Chicago. In those cases, the surgeons removed only part of the pancreas.

Never before, though, had surgeons accomplished all three phases of a complete pancreatectomy — the removal of the entire pancreas, the reconnection of the gastrointestinal tract and the injection of islets into the liver.

In the autologous islet transplant, 248,000 islets were isolated from the removed pancreas by an automated system that Rilo designed. The cells were then injected into Alveshere’s liver to continue the production of insulin. Without this step, patients are at an increased risk of developing brittle diabetes, Rilo said.

Islet transplants require a high level of expertise by the surgeon because only two percent of the islets in the entire pancreas are usable in cases of chronic

Sen. Vinson Liu said he drafted the resolution to recognize ASA’s accomplishments and put forth the ASUA Senate’s support for the organization, despite its problems.

The resolution says the Senate supports ASA’s mission and that the Senate will continue to do so until it finds “reasonable doubt” that ASA is no longer an “efficient organization for the student body.”

Senators revised the resolution to clarify some points made in Liu’s draft. Sen. Valerie Hanna described some practices that she would like to see changed within ASA, such as requiring a vote by the board before providing funds to organizations. Hanna said ASA already supported Proposition 204 — a failed initiative that would have extended a state sales tax to provide more education funding — before ASA voted to donate $20,000 for it.

Hanna also said students need to see exactly where their student fees are going within ASA in order to prevent future conflict. A student had come to her, Hanna said, to say he disagreed with ASA’s statement that the organization represents students’ interests, because he didn’t support

Prop 204. Hanna said that if 65 percent of Arizona rejected Prop 204, then there must be UA students who didn’t vote for it as well, and that ASA should have considered that possibility.

Sen. Logan Bilby suggested that the Senate wait to approve the resolution until senators see changes within ASA, given the negative attention it has received for the accusations of misspending student fee money, but the resolution passed by a 7-3 vote.

Child care center seeks support

The dean of the College of Education asked the ASUA Senate to consider supporting an early childhood care center on campus.

Ronald Marx, the dean of the College of Education, attended Wednesday’s meeting to ask senators to consider a resolution in support of a daycare center at the UA. He said the UA is the only school in the Pac-12 without a daycare and that it could host children from infancy to preschool age.

According to Marx, families with children who use the center would have to pay tuition of about $9,000. Marx asked the Senate to discuss possible subsidies that could be used to help students with children, a model he said has been seen at other universities with childcare centers.

Students can now reserve library study rooms online. The Library Services’ presentation during the ASUA Senate’s meeting described the library’s online reservation system, in addition to a 24-hour live chat service for students called “Ask a Librarian.” Students can also check out equipment like iPads and MacBooks online, though some items are only available for short periods of time due to limited resources.

The library will be open for 24 hours every day from Nov. 30 to Dec. 14. It will close Dec. 14 at 6 p.m. After 9 p.m., students will need to use their CatCards to access the building. The changes were made in response to student input, according to the presentation.

Electronic books are already available through the library, but the library is now working with the UofA Bookstore to provide electronic books for courses. The library is measuring how much money it is saving students by looking at which books are used and how frequently.

Databases will be incorporated into D2L for students to use as research resources, but instructors will have the opportunity to opt out of including a database if they do not feel it

pancreatitis, Gruessner said. “[Rilo’s] only one of a handful of people in the country that can successfully isolate these islets so that we can give them back [to the patient],” Gruessner said.

In open pancreatectomies a large scar is left stretching down the entire stomach to the pelvic bone.

Now, with the success of the robotic surgery, the size of the incision can be greatly reduced.

Three small scars remain around Alveshere’s abdomen, and a fourth scar of just a couple inches was left in the bikini region. These smaller cuts help with the cosmetic impact of the procedure and greatly reduce recovery time, Gruessner said.

Alveshere was released from the hospital after 10 days, instead of the typical two weeks for an open pancreatectomy. Shortening hospital stays is one of the goals of the minimally invasive surgery.

“What we’re proud of is a program that offers something that currently no other [center] — and in the future only very few other centers in the country — can offer,” Gruessner said, “and it’s right here at the University of Arizona.”

Re-election maintains national status quo MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Nothing changed.

Barack Obama will remain the president. Democrats will still control the Senate. Republicans will still control the House of Representatives.

The same leaders who brought the nation to the brink of a historic default in 2011 and have kept the government open only with a series of short-term fixes will remain in power.

They offered soothing words and hopes for compromise Wednesday.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, reached out to Democrats, urging serious talks aimed at avoiding a plunge over the looming “fiscal cliff,” even suggesting Republicans were willing to talk about increasing tax revenue.

He argued that changes in the tax code, including loophole closings and a “fairer, simpler system,” can

“result in the additional revenue the president seeks. It will support economic growth, which means more revenue is generated for the Treasury.”

Democrats stuck to their insistence that any plan must have higher taxes on the wealthy. But, said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.: “I’m willing to negotiate anytime, any issue.”

None of their rhetoric is particularly new. But the nation is approaching that cliff at the start of next year when Bush-era tax cuts expire and automatic spending cuts are due to take effect, and the election results suggest any movement toward compromise is going to be long and tortured.

The key change in how Washington conducts its business is likely to rest with Obama.

“The big question is how much leadership the president will

show,” said Stuart Rothenberg, an independent political analyst. “How much heavy lifting is he willing to do?”

Obama alone has the ability to broker political peace. But first, Republicans need to figure out the party’s role in such an effort. Boehner’s olive branch was the opening act of a struggle for the Republicans’ political soul between hardcore and pragmatic conservatives.

Some leaders remained convinced Wednesday that a resolute conservative message will ultimately prevail.

“The American people did two things,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. “They gave President Obama a second chance to fix the problems that even he admits he failed to solve during his first four years in office, and they preserved Republican control of the House of Representatives.”

More evacuate due to NY floods MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

NEW YORK — Wet snow and heavy winds thrashed New York City on Wednesday, forcing new evacuations in areas flooded by Superstorm Sandy last week and knocking out power to some areas where it had just been restored.

At an afternoon briefing, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg said he ordered the evacuations of four nursing homes in the hard-hit Rockaways that together held more than 600 people. Volunteers were going door to door in low-lying areas of the city, including seafront areas in Brooklyn and in Staten Island, informing residents about the availability of emergency shelters.

“Trees and limbs could come down and storm debris could blow around dangerously,” Bloomberg said. Tree limbs also jeopardize newly repaired high-voltage lines.

The region, however, had braced for Wednesday’s weather — the first taste of a nor’easter blowing into the region still struggling to recover from Sandy, which made landfall in New Jersey on Oct. 29.

As early evening approached, there were no reports of flooding but New York City posted additional ambulances and small boats near potential flood zones as a precaution, Bloomberg said.

The city’s parks, playgrounds and beaches were closed for 24 hours to keep residents from being injured by falling limbs or flooding.

More than 1,000 flights in and out of airports in the Northeast — including in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Newark — were cancelled due to the new storm, according to the website NYCAviation.com.

There also were reports that customers in the Westchester County suburbs north of New York City had lost power again. An estimated 270,000 homes and businesses in New York and around 370,000 customers in New Jersey were still

without electricity on Wednesday.

Although the new storm was expected to carry winds of up to 60 mph, that is far less severe than Sandy, which had hurricane-force winds up to 90 mph. Still, there were worries on Wednesday of more flooding in coastal areas that had lost some of their beach protection during Sandy.

Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate said in a conference call with reporters that FEMA’s cleanup efforts could be delayed by the new storm.

Earlier in the day, at a stop in Harvey Cedars, N.J., New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie urged preparations for the coming storm. “I am waiting for the locusts and pestilence next,” Christie said wearily. “We may take a setback in the next 24 hours.”

With temperatures expected to drop to freezing by nightfall,

Bloomberg said 1,500 heaters had been distributed to areas of the city where there is electrical power, but no heat yet.

Some residents, whose homes were flooded, have been told to stay away from low-lying areas, the mayor said.

FEMA was still amassing statistics on the number of people displaced

by Sandy, Fugate said. So far, about 295,000 people have registered with FEMA and about $286 million in aid has been disbursed in the states hit by Sandy.

The storm was expected to bring just a few inches of snow to New York City, but more to outlying areas.

According to the weather service, sections of New England could get six to 12 inches.

Flood warnings were already posted for the coasts and high-wind warnings were in effect for parts of New Jersey and Long Island.

Democrats have new challenges of their own. More liberal senators will replace centrist senators in several states, and in the House, the Blue Dog caucus, a group of party moderates, dwindled to a handful of members.

Democrats need to take care not to be seen as the party of the left, said Floyd Ciruli, a Denver-based analyst.

“The danger is that they become the party of coalitions,” he said. “If the election was a choice between activist and robust government, the public said it wanted to move only to the center-left.”

Sandy old news but rebuilding just begun Dan Desrochers ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

E

lection coverage may have distracted news outlets from Hurricane Sandy, but parts of the East Coast are still picking up the pieces.

When people ask, I tell them I’m from Philadelphia. Located only 15 minutes from my house, the city associated with cheesesteaks and “Rocky” is far more desirable than the annoying question: “Wait, so have you been to the Jersey Shore?”

Yes, I have been to the Jersey Shore.

In fact, for as long as I can remember, my family has rented a house in Ocean City, N.J., for a week in August. That week, pleasantly known as beach week, has served as the setting for some of my most cherished childhood memories.

The Jersey Shore is a hotbed for family vacations, and while my vacation may be a bit noisier and more crowded than most, the majority of New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania natives have had similar experiences.

And like most other high school seniors in the state of New Jersey, I went down to the shore after senior prom. While that week may have been similar to the TV show, I can assure you that the majority of weeks in Jersey are not.

The Jersey Shore is a cultural center for the tri-state area (New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania) and it’s a place where anyone can take a day trip to enjoy the ocean.

Or it was.

After Hurricane Sandy blew through, sand filled the streets, the dunes were completely wiped out and the boardwalks took a beating.

In Seaside Heights, a whole pier dropped off, leaving a roller coaster literally in the middle of the ocean.

Worst of all, a second storm system hit Wednesday. People were evacuated, but that doesn’t mean that their homes were preserved. The shores will probably be rebuilt, but they won’t be the same.

The beaches will have to be dredged in order to get them back to what they used to be.

This means sticking a tube into the ocean to move sand from the ocean floor to the shoreline, and that means unhappy environmentalists.

But where the beaches were hit bad, so were the people.

Houses have been destroyed or left without power, on top of the flooding and rain damage they may have incurred.

New Jersey and New York seem distant, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t do something to help.

It could be as simple as donating money to an organization that is working to rebuild homes on the coast, or sending clothes and other items through the American Red Cross.

We saw how polarized our nation was during election seasn.

This is a time to unite as a country to support each other for the greater good.

When our country is united, it can accomplish anything, but that’s only if we don’t forget about these people because they’re far away or because the news outlets have stopped talking about them.

And when the shore has been restored, I invite all of you to come take a visit to the real Jersey Shore.

Although it won’t be the same after all that has happened, I can guarantee it’ll be better than “Snooki” and “Pauly D” portray it.

LETTERS

This letter is in reaction to the print version of the article entitled “UA a Model for Pro-Israel Efforts” [by Yara Askar] (The Daily Wildcat, November 6). While we appreciate the attention, we wish to make it clear that we at the Arizona Center for Judaic Studies do not view our role as that of advocates or enemies of the State of Israel. Hence the term “pro-Israel” in the article is inappropriate.

We work in a larger academic and social environment in which opinions of Israel and of its detractors are often passionately held. Perfect neutrality is elusive in any event. Every scholar has his or her political preferences and opinions. But we at least aspire to keep ours out of our scholarship and our teaching as much as possible. Our job, as we see it, is to explore and inform people about the history and culture of the Jews (including pre-modern and modern Israel, as well as anti-Jewish sentiment and behaviors) — what they were and are, how they have worked and work, and what difference that makes.

We do not seek to make anyone “pro-“ or “anti-” anything or anybody.

UofA students are cordially invited to enroll in our courses and see for themselves.

Sincerely, The core Judaic Studies faculty: Prof. J. Edward Wright, Prof. Beth Alpert Nakhai, Ms. Anat Maimon, Prof. David Graizbord

ONLINE COMMENTS In response to “Editorial: Elections are over — loyal opposition must step up” (by the Daily Wildcat editorial board, Nov. 7): If I was a betting man, I’d put good money down that the Daily Wildcat said nothing of the sort when Democrats screamed about leaving for Canada after the 2000 and 2004 elections. Your bias is showing, as usual.

It’s kind of hard to hold the President accountable when my generation is a bunch of ignorant fools who’ve decided to vote for President Obama again despite the fact that his policies have made this country’s economic woes worse. I want to hold him accountable.

It’s not my fault that I’m outnumbered by the fools who follow him blindly. God bless term limits. Four more years and we’ll be rid of him for good.

Really, you people should be ashamed of yourself. Who looks at the massive deficits, massive debts, massive government spending, dead Mexican citizens (Operation Fast and Furious) and dead American citizens (Benghazi — and let’s not forget that he just signed an agreement to keep our troops in Afghanistan past 2014) and says “Yeah, let’s do that for four more years!” That is absolutely pathetic.

Shame on you.

CAT TRACKS p u g n i d Tren Student voter registration is up by about 7,000 people statewide according to Katy Murray, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona.

About 2,000 of those newly registered voters came from the UA. After months of campaigning, the Arizona Students’ Association wrapped up voter registration efforts on Tuesday. It was the “largest student registration drive Arizona has ever had,” according to Murray.

Despite some tumult over misspending allegations levied by student leaders at Arizona State University earlier this semester, ASA gets a tip of the hat for doing its part in helping Arizona students participate in an election largely driven by young voters.

New York Times blogger Nate Silver was the real winners of the election.

As the campaign drew near its end, some political pundits derided Silver for his polling forecasts, which showed Obama in the lead.

Silver and NBC’s Joe Scarborough went so far as to bet money on Silver’s predictions.

But the joke’s on his critics, as Obama performed nearly exactly the way Silver’s statistical models predicted. Even Fox News acknowledged Silver’s accuracy.

Republicans are trending down, nationally. As Rick Tyler, a past aide to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, said, “The party is clearly in some sort of identity crisis.”

The failure to reclaim the presidency has the GOP doing some introspection. Some strategists have said the party needs to move closer to the center in order to appeal to a more moderate voter bloc. Others have demanded party leaders resign so that the GOP can shift even further to the right.

But not all is lost. In a HuffPost Live segment, conservative Grover Norquist pointed out that the GOP controls more governorships and state legislatures than at any time since 1920. Just look at Arizona.

Florida just keeps being Florida. On election night, the U.S. once again waited for Florida’s votes to come in. And waited. And then waited some more, on into the day after election night.

It’s been a dozen years since the Bush-Gore Supreme Court debacle involving hanging chads. Since then, Florida has taken steps to improve its voting systems, and it seemed to function OK in most counties. But for whatever reason, it continues to fail in larger counties.

This time it’s not such a big deal — President Barack Obama was able to capture a clear Electoral College majority without the state.

But even so, someone’s got to say it: Get it together, Florida.

POLICE BEAT MAXWELL J. MANGOLD Arizona Daily Wildcat

Bags baked and ready to go

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers cited and released four students after finding them with five containers of alcohol and 12.9 grams of marijuana near Euclid Avenue and Lester Street at 1:20 a.m. on Nov. 4.

The officers noticed the men driving in a black BMW X5 down Tyndall Avenue, as one man leaned halfway out of his window and screamed at a woman on the sidewalk. The woman ignored him and the car accelerated quickly toward Sixth Street, changing lanes several times. One of the officers clocked the vehicle going 50 mph in a 35 mph zone from Mabel Street to Drachman Street, so the officers initiated a traffic stop.

As one officer approached the vehicle, he heard glass clinking and noted the smell of marijuana, as both windows on the driver’s side of the car were down. The officer asked the four men inside, who were all UA students, to exit the car and sit on the curb.

The students told the officer they were coming from an off-campus house, but did not know its address. Two of the passengers showed no symptoms of intoxication, while one had bloodshot eyes, and the other glassy eyes and a flushed face.

At this time, one of the officers noticed a black bag in the backseat of the car containing a half-full handle of vodka, a quarter-full fifth of whiskey and a half-full fifth of Sour Apple Pucker, among several other open containers. The officer also found a small amount of marijuana shake on the driver’s floorboard, and a clear bag of marijuana under the seat.

The officer arrested one of the men on charges of minor in possession due to the smell of alcohol on his breath and the open alcohol containers in the car. The man denied this claim, saying the officer couldn’t smell his breath because he’d never faced him. The officer skipped questioning, but cited and released the man.

The driver, who showed no signs of intoxication, was arrested on charges of possession of marijuana. He told officers it wasn’t his, saying he was unaware it was in the vehicle and that he frequently let his friends drive his car. The officer said that the marijuana on the driver’s side floor and the strong odor in the car didn’t comply with this claim.

The alcohol was then emptied in the dirt, and while throwing away the bottles, the officer discovered an opened Ziploc bag under the vehicle that contained marijuana. The bag could have come from the right passenger side of the BMW, but the officers had not seen any of the men drop the bag.

The marijuana found under the driver’s seat weighed 12.9 grams, and was filed into property as evidence, in addition to the Ziploc bag, which had no proof of an owner.

The perfect place for a nap

A UAPD officer arrested a woman on charges of minor in possession after she locked herself in a Manzanita-Mohave residence hall bathroom stall at 5:20 a.m. on Nov. 4.

When the officer arrived, a resident assistant escorted him to the fifth floor bathroom, where a UA student had locked herself inside for 30 to 40 minutes. Student Emergency Medical Services personnel were already at the scene, and they told the officer the woman was lying in front of a shower stall when they arrived.

The woman exited the bathroom in a towel, and the officer asked her to put clothes on to talk.

The woman smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes and a flushed face. EMS evaluated the woman, noting that all her vital signs appeared normal. The student admitted to taking five shots of vodka earlier at an unknown house off-campus. She told police she was sleeping in the bathroom because her roommate had her keys and hadn’t returned home yet.

The student was cited for charges of minor in possession and released.

GUARD/FORWARD KEVIN PARROM (LEFT), forward Brandon Ashley and center Angelo Chol are three of Arizona’s top bench players, and their status as four- and five-star players exemplifies the amount of talent the Wildcats have in reserve.

Arizona basketball team has enough depth, talent to make run this season ZACK ROSENBLATT Arizona Daily Wildcat

Sacrificing for the good of the team ­ that’s the message head coach Sean — Miller has preached to the Wildcats throughout the offseason.

The Wildcats have talent up and down the roster, and enough to go 10 deep.

“It’s not individual anymore,” forward Solomon Hill said. “We have guys that can score, we have 10 guys that can score. Its not about the individuals anymore, it’s about the team.”

It was just an exhibition, but

Tuesday against Chico State, Arizona put on display exactly what it’s capable of doing if each player can accept a supporting role.

Arizona won by 38 points, nine players had at least five points and no Wildcat shot the ball more than 10 times.

Hill even scored 18 points on just 2-of-2 shooting, getting the rest of his points from the free throw line.

In Arizona’s first preseason game against Humboldt State, which it won by 41 points, freshman center Kaleb Tarczewski scored a team-high 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.

Against Chico State, Tarczewski fouled out with seven points and zero rebounds.

“The score of the game [against Chico State] was indicative of our depth and our firepower that we have not only with our starters, but off the bench,” Miller said. “One of the characteristics I hope that we can continue from [the] very beginning all the way to the end of the season is that on different nights we have different players that can step up and contribute, not always in scoring, but in rebounding.”

The Wildcats have a stable of

newcomers that includes freshmen Tarczewski, Brandon Ashley, Grant Jerrett and Gabe York, and transfer point guard Mark Lyons; not to mention T.J. McConnell and Matt Korcheck, who have to sit out this season due to transfer rules.

Hill compared the depth of talent on this year’s squad to that of two years ago, when Arizona reached the Elite Eight, and said the competition in practice will prove invaluable.

“It makes the team better,” Hill said. “It feels good that when your first five come out and our guys come out, we’re equally as good. There’s no

drop-off in the game and that’s what makes our team good. If we’re all in we can reap the reward from it.”

Through the first two preseason games, Miller has thrown out a lineup of shooting guard Nick Johnson, point guard Lyons, small forward Hill, power forward Jerrett and center Tarczewski, but Miller doesn’t anticipate having a “set five starters.”

“Some of the guys on our team, if they were maybe on another team they would have a bigger role, but that’s the gift that we have,” Miller said.

W-Hoops transfers will play key role for Wildcats IMAN HAMDAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

Seven newcomers make up the majority of the Arizona women’s basketball team roster this season, and four of them are transfers.

Junior guard Carissa Crutchfield and junior forward Lynette Holmes are the only two transfers with Division I experience. Junior forward Alli Gloyd and junior guard and forward Kama Griffitts both came to Arizona from community colleges.

There is a significant difference between the two levels of play, which requires major adjustments both on and off the court.

For Holmes, even though Xavier is a Division I school, it is still small, so adjusting to the size of Arizona has been the biggest change for her, she said.

While at Xavier, Holmes made a connection with then-head coach Kevin McGuff, who also recruited her, but after he took the head coaching position at Washington, she said she no longer felt a

connection to the team.

“My guardian told me to give the new head coach a chance, but we didn’t have the best relationship,” Holmes said. “When you pick a college, you pick a coach that you are on the same page with and I never had that with coach [Amy] Waugh.”

Holmes found that connection again with head coach Niya Butts.

“When I looked to transfer, coach Butts had all of that in her and I saw that she cared more for her kids than on the basketball court,” Holmes said.

Gloyd, who said she felt the same way about Butts, has impressed the coach with her performance.

“Not only is she a good talent and a great athlete, but she’s a good kid and great person,” Butts said. “She wants to learn the game and really takes everything you say and tries to apply it, which makes her very coachable.”

In her first game as a Wildcat, Gloyd scored 14 points, coming in as Arizona’s second-highest

scorer in the exhibition game against Grand Canyon University on Monday.

The biggest adjustment for Gloyd came from the fact that her days and weekends have been mapped out for her.

“We have weights in the morning, bright and early,” she said, “followed by class and practice, but between all that you have to find time for meals and dedicate time to study hall. It’s probably the biggest change for me.”

Griffitts joined the Wildcats last year, but had to sit out the season due to NCAA transfer rules.

“Sitting out last year was hard because I obviously wanted to play, but I just knew I wasn’t physically ready for Division I play,” Griffitts said. “This year I’m ready.”

The one thing Griffitts keeps in mind as she competes for a spot in the starting lineup is the level of talent Division I women’s basketball has to offer.

Football Notes

Senior leaders happy to return from injury KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

larry hogan/arizona Daily Wildcat

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN TRACE BISKIN (No. 72) returned against UCLA on Saturday after missing a few games with an injury.

Coming into the season, the Wildcats’ offensive line finally had what it lacked the year before — experience.

All five starters from 2011 returned, and Arizona had two seniors, in center Kyle Quinn and right guard Trace Biskin, anchoring the inside of the line.

But after Biskin suffered a toe injury against Oregon on Sept. 22 and Quinn injured his ankle the next week against Oregon State, the veteran leadership was suddenly absent and the rest of the line had to scramble to make do.

“It’s been killing me,” Quinn said. “I’m a football player and this is the first serious

injury I’ve had in my career. And these guys will tell you, sitting on the sideline in the games and at practices absolutely killed me.”

Neither Quinn nor Biskin has started since their respective injuries, but both did see the field last weekend against UCLA. Still, their relegation to the sidelines during the last month didn’t stop the two seniors from taking an active role in the offense.

“Even when we weren’t playing, we were still coaching up the young guys and mentally preparing ourselves as much as we could,” Biskin said. “That’s our knack for being competitors like we are. It’s unfortunate we couldn’t play but now it’s

Wildcat hockey coach reuniting with old friend JAMES KELLEY Arizona Daily Wildcat

oakland university hockey

This weekend is Homecoming for Arizona football, but for Wildcat hockey head coach Sean Hogan, it’s more like home coming to Tucson.

This Friday and Saturday No. 17 Arizona hosts No. 7 Oakland, Hogan’s former team, which is led by his good friends head coach Jeremy Bachusz and assistant coach Gordie Schaeffler.

Hogan called Bachusz his best friend and chose him to be his successor at Oakland University in Michigan. The two talk nearly every day.

“Generally it’s a quick conversation, but we’re good friends, and obviously we’re competitors but at the same time we talk about our teams and give each other advice,” Bachusz said.

Hogan won’t have a problem putting together a scouting report for the Grizzlies.

“I know everything that’s going on with his team, who’s hurt, who’s injured, and he knows everything that’s going on with our team,” Hogan said.

Hogan coached Oakland from 2005 to 2009, going 88-50-7. The Grizzlies won a Division II national championship in 2006 and then a Division I championship in 2007, when both Bachusz and Schaeffler served as assistants.

ARIZONA COACH Sean Hogan will host the school he used to work at when the UA welcomes Oakland University to Tucson this weekend.

Hogan was also an assistant coach at Oakland when it won the Division II national title in 2004.

“It gave me my coaching start and I loved it,” Hogan said. “It was a lot of fun. It’s a great program. They do a really good job with their hockey program.”

Hogan and Bachusz grew up together in Michigan and went to Our Lady of the Lakes High School in Waterford (Mich.) together. They met when Bachusz played hockey with Hogan’s brother in grade school.

“Then Sean and I lost touch a bit until about high school, and started hanging out again at about that time,” Bachusz said.

Last year Arizona and Oakland played in the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division I Showcase, a matchup that they requested the commissioner make.

Oakland led just 2-1 in the game going into the third period, but then No. 11 OU pulled away to win 5-1.

Hogan sees the two friendly rivals playing each other every year now.

“We wanted to see each other and have him come out here,” Hogan said.

“Every season he’s coaching there I’m sure we’ll be playing each other.”

Hogan picked Bachusz as his successor and even though the program was in rebuilding mode when he left, the Grizzlies have been successful, winning two conference titles and national

runnerup honors.

Last year, No. 13 seeded Oakland knocked No. 4 seeded ASU out of the national tournament and went 3-2 in overtime in a game that Hogan attended.

Oakland would go on to finish second at the tournament.

“He was happy for us first off,” Bachusz said. “We were obviously big underdogs the whole tournament and him being a friend, he was definitely cheering for us the whole way.”

Hogan left Oakland to go to Wyoming and lead the juniors team, the Yellowstone Quake, and then he was an assistant coach and director of video operations for Western Michigan University’s Division I Hockey program before coming to Tucson.

“He’s definitely grown as a coach and changed his approach a bit,” Bachusz said. “He’s a lot tougher in his players and demands a lot more.”

Bachusz is convinced Hogan can replicate his success in Oakland.

“For sure, it’s only his second year as coach there and I know there’s been some big changes to the program,” Bachusz said. “It’s going to take some time to get his own players in there, but I know that the team’s responding already and he’s going to keep bringing in really good talent and I’m pretty confident that they will continue to be very competitive going forward.”

Rubio said it was the best week of practice his team has had and the first time he saw his squad really play for each other.

“We’ve been working so hard in the last several weeks to try to get more offense in our middles,” Rubio said. “We had a pretty good rhythm. We’ve been working on it.”

This contributed to Arizona’s first season win against a ranked team, No. 6 UCLA, last weekend.

The next two weeks are projected to be a little bit easier than the opening weeks, when the Wildcats had matches against Washington, Stanford, USC

Ponce named to Pac-12 first team for performance IMAN HAMDAN Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona soccer team wrapped up its season (6-11-3) on Friday with a loss to ASU, but the Wildcats won off the field on Wednesday as midfielder Jazmin Ponce was named to the Pac-12 All-Conference first team.

“It feels amazing,” Ponce said.

“To be named to the first team in the best conference in the nation really says something. I worked very hard for this with the help of my teammates. I couldn’t have done it without them.”

Ponce led the Wildcats this season with eight goals, her best season with Arizona and good enough for the top 15 in the conference — in her first two years on the team she scored five total goals.

Ponce also led the Wildcats in number of shots taken with 85, 40 of which were on goal, surpassing her total number of on-goal shots taken in the last two seasons by four.

She led the Pac-12 in shots and average shots per game with 4.25 and trailed UCLA’s Zakiya Bywaters for the conference lead

Jazmine Ponce

by five goals.

This bodes well for the Wildcats because Ponce, along with four other players, still has one more year on the team.

The other players that make up the Pac-12 All Conference first team include: UCLA’s Bywaters, Sarah Killion and Abby Dahlkemper; Standford’s Alina Garciamendez, Rachel Quon, Mariah Nogueira, Emily Oliver and Chioma Ubogagu; California’s Betsy Hassett and Ifeoma Onumonu.

Colts take on Jaguars in only primetime game MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

Indianapolis Colts coach Bruce Arians has never been a fan of Thursday night football. Imagine how he felt when he saw Monday’s injury report.

Eight Colts starters did not participate in practice and six of those were injured or reinjured in Sunday’s win over Miami: right tackle Winston Justice, outside linebacker Robert Mathis, cornerback Jerraud Powers, running back Donald Brown, center Samson Satele and wide receiver Donnie Avery.

The Colts (5-3) play at the Jacksonville Jaguars (1-7) on Thursday night in their only scheduled primetime game.

“The recovery time from Sunday to Thursday is ridiculous, especially after playing a very physical game, and then to have to travel,” Arians said. “When you add the travel in, you may get some swelling out of your body, but on that airplane, you’re going to swell right back up.

“It’s just happened too many times,” he said. “I’ve seen guys that go in the game, get off the flight and can’t walk.

The traveling part of it is an added problem to an injury. So it’s tough. The mental part of it is taxing on us also.”

Arians is hardly alone in disliking the Thursday night games because of the short recovery time. For the first time, however, every NFL team plays one Thursday night game, so everyone has to deal with it.

On the positive side, the Colts will then have extra time to prepare for a Nov. 18 road trip to New England. The NFL, incidentally, has flexed the New England game to a 4:25 p.m. start. “(Playing Thursday) is great for television,” Arians said. “It’s great for the NFL Network, obviously. But I think it’s very, very taxing on these athletes, especially when we talk so much about player safety. But it is what it is and we all have to deal with it.”

Arians said he wanted to be careful not to be too critical of the NFL’s Thursday night plans for his bank account’s sake.

“I’m trying not to get fined,” Arians said. “I don’t make enough to get fined. It’s extremely hard on their bodies. We all know that television is extremely important to our business and it’s part of the collective bargaining agreement that we all decided on, so that’s what we’re going to do.”

Pagano’s good news Colts coach Chuck Pagano stopped by the practice complex before going for more leukemia treatment Monday. His doctors have said his leukemia can be said to be in “remission,” but it’s important to go through the full treatment.

Pagano attended the Colts win over Miami on Sunday and gave an emotional speech after the game.

Many of the players were seeing him for the first time since he was first diagnosed on Sept. 26.

good, we’re back on the field and we’ve definitely missed it.”

Against UCLA, Biskin wasn’t listed on the injury report even though he was still not at 100 percent, and Quinn was listed as probable. Biskin said he feels great and is ready to go, and since Quinn saw game action against the Bruins, he’s likely to start.

“It’s been extremely frustrating,” Biskin said about missing the last few games. “I’m happy for the guys when they’re doing well, [but it’s] really frustrating when we’re losing.

“But me and Kyle have both been working hard to get back and we’re starting to get our groove back. We think going into this game we’ll both be better prepared and ready to go.”

Change under center

While Arizona’s B.J. Denker may get his first career start at quarterback this weekend after Matt Scott suffered a concussion in

the game against UCLA, he won’t be the only new man under center in the game.

Colorado head coach Jon Embree announced that either Connor Wood or Nick Hirschman, both sophomores, will start in place of the struggling Jordan Webb against the Wildcats.

“They’re searching right now,” linebacker Marquis Flowers said.

“But we just got to go out and play.”

In the Buffaloes’ 48-0 blowout loss to Stanford, all three signalcallers took snaps, but none of them were effective against the stout Cardinal defense.

While the change at quarterback is made in hopes of jumpstarting Colorado’s 96th ranked passing offense, in terms of yards per game, the new face won’t mean much to Arizona’s game plan.

“They’re going to run the same plays,” Rodriguez said. “I mean, I don’t see them changing the offense. Nobody is really going to change the offense at this point of the year.”

Basketball from page 6

include point guard Jordin Mayes, shooting guard York, shooting guard/small forward Kevin Parrom, power forward Ashley and center Angelo Chol, all of whom, except for Mayes, were four star recruits coming out of high school, and Mayes has NCAA tournament experience — he scored 16 points against Texas in the second round two years ago.

“It’s not about you having 20 points every single game, it’s not going to be like that,” Hill said.

Projecting the rotation

in the preseason, here’s the best bet for what the rotation will look like in the early going.

Note: The first five are the projected starters 1- Mark Lyons, point guard 2- Nick Johnson, shooting guard 3- Solomon Hill, small forward 4- Grant Jerrett, power forward 5- Kaleb Tarczewski, center 6- Kevin Parrom, sixth man/ shooting guard/small forward 7- Brandon Ashley, forward 8- Jordin Mayes, point guard 9- Angelo Chol, center 10- Gabe York, guard

Based on preseason performance and what Miller has told the media

from page 6

“The biggest challenge is the level of talent, because everyone is great, so you have to fight for a spot on the court.”

Butts recognizes the talent in these new players and believes the depth of the team will be an asset this season.

“It has been really fun because we have a lot of talent on the floor,” Butts said. “We have a lot of people that can do some different things, and we are excited about that.”

and UCLA, all within about two weeks. All four teams were ranked in the top 10 then and now sit in the top eight, along with Oregon.

Oregon is the only remaining ranked team that Arizona will face for the conference season.

Oregon State, Colorado, Utah, Washington State and Arizona State are teams the squad said are beatable.

“Regardless of who’s wearing the uniform, at what level or at what age, the team that wins is the team that executes better,” Rubio said.

The Wildcats have already beaten the remaining unranked opponents once this season, with the exception of Washington State, who the Wildcats have not faced yet.

“It makes it that much greater for us to win, because the process has not been easy,” Rubio said.

Whyte garners preseason honors LUKE DAVIS Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball senior guard Davellyn Whyte was named to the preseason All Pac-12 Conference list on Wednesday.

Whyte joins five other conference players who earned a spot on the list, including Layshia Clarendon (California), Jazmine Davis (Washington), Chucky Jeffery (Colorado), Markel Walker (UCLA) and preseason AllAmerican Chiney Ogwumike (Stanford).

Whyte is a three-time All Pac-12 player entering her senior season. Whyte averaged 17.0 points and 6.8 rebounds during the 2011-2012 season and was named Associated Press All-American Honorable

Mention.

On Monday in Arizona’s exhibition season opener versus Grand Canyon University, Whyte scored 27 points and had eight steals, five rebounds and four assists.

In just three years, Whyte has already become one of the most notable players in Arizona women’s basketball history. She currently ranks in the top 10 in several career categories, including third in three-point field goals made and scoring average and fifth in all-time scoring.

“I want to lead this team to the tournament,” Whyte said. “This is the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here and I’ve never been to the tournament, so it’s pretty important to me that I help take this team this year.”
