New initiatives target loan debt ‘Pay As You Earn’ program caps loan charges for graduates, allows full payment forgiveness

By Brenna Goth DAILY WILDCAT

The Obama administration announced new initiatives late last month aiming to help students better understand their school loans and reduce the burden of repaying them.

The proposal for the “Pay As You Earn” program would allow student borrowers to cap their loan payments at 10 percent of their discretionary income, and some could be eligible to have their remaining balance forgiven after 20 years. About 1.6 million borrowers will be eligible for the program in 2012, according to a White House press release.

Other initiatives include reducing the cap for all

borrowers from 15 percent of their discretionary income to 10 percent starting in July 2014. Programs will also be launched to inform students about financial aid options at different institutions as well as options to consolidate different student loans into one monthly payment.

The national student loan default rate was 8.8 percent overall and 7.2 percent for public institutions in 2009, according to data released by the U.S. Department of Education in September.

The UA’s student loan default rate for master’s or doctorate degree was 4.1 percent in 2009, according to the Deparment of Education.

Though this rate is below the national average, it’s up 95 percent from 2005.

“During the recession, there shouldn’t be an increase in default, but there is an increase in default,” said Bryan Scott, assistant director of loans for the UA Office of Student Financial Aid.

SHOWCASE HIGHLIGHTS Likins pens STUDENT RESEARCH memoir of Q&A

By Eliza Molk DAILY WILDCAT

The GPSC hosted its 19th annual Student Showcase on Friday to creatively present research from graduate and undergraduate students.

About 105 students showed their research at the event, with graduate students making up about 55 percent and undergraduates 45 percent, according to Chris Cornelison, events director of the Graduate and Professional Student Council. Cash prizes were awarded to showcase winners, and judges examined their information based on the quality of their presentation, its academic merit, value to the community and overall impression.

Cornelison said the council hosts the event because it allows students the opportunity to present their personal research in a creative light.

“It (the showcase) combines everything — the Tucson community, the university community, staff and faculty,” he said.

Prize money for showcase winners was donated by the UA Libraries, BIO5 Institute, the Southern Arizona section of the American Chemical Society and the University of Arizona Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows program. The GPSC also hosted a silent auction during the showcase for the first time to generate additional funds for the council, said Rachel Leffall, development administrator for GPSC. Showcased projects ranged from “the perceived exertion of a daily path on a UA bicycle tour” to “Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust: Decomposition in the Desert.”

Theresa Klein, an electrical and computer engineering graduate student, explained through her research how human walking patterns can be shown in robots. In order to do so, she built her own robot and studied how the outside environment can give positive or negative feedback to the human nervous system. Klein found that humans make use of gravity to swing their limbs, and that there was a “good match” between a human hip and a robot hip because they move similarly. Movement in the ankle, however, was different because the robot’s stance extended “much sooner” than a human’s would.

After earning a master’s and doctoral degree at Stanford University and a master’s degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, UA President Emeritus Peter Likins went on to serve as an engineering professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, a dean and provost at Columbia University, and president of Lehigh University before moving to Tucson. But it all started when he and his wife Patricia adopted six children; a boy and a girl of black and white descent, two American Indian sisters, a white daughter and a Hispanic son. Now 75, Likins tells his life story in his memoir, “A New American Family: A Love Story.” He appeared at the UofA Bookstore on Saturday for a signing.

Daily Wildcat: Growing up in Santa Cruz, California, how would you describe your family and experiences? Would you describe your family growing up as the “old” American family?

Peter Likins: My family growing up in Santa Cruz, California, was broken, poor and not in any sense a model of the American family as it was conceived in our imagination for the 1950s. My father took off when I was 7 and left my mother in desperate straits, and she was just struggling to try to hold the family together in a two-room, cold-water cabin in the mountains outside of Santa Cruz. We understood from the very beginning that education was the path to prosperity.

You married when you were 19 years old, had a Bachelor’s degree from Stanford by 20, then a master’s degree from MIT at 21. How did you feel, and how did you manage your life during this time?

I was blessed with certain talents that enabled me, with hard work, to accomplish goals earlier than most.

I didn’t have a good sense of myself in college. I had very good grades, but I remember my faculty adviser once asked me if I ever thought about being a college professor, and it never occurred to me that I could be a college professor. Only with my master’s adviser at MIT did I begin to wonder if I could maybe do this. So I was kind of gradually coming to an understanding of myself during those years.

In your early 20s, you and your wife began adopting children. Can you go through that process

UA study finds black holes may kill stars

By Amer Taleb DAILY WILDCAT

A UA professor’s co-authored study found evidence that black holes are ripping apart and killing stars.

On the rare event that a star gets too close to a black hole, gravity will pull the star unevenly on one of its sides. The stretching will continue until the star tears apart and shatters, said Dennis Zaritsky, a professor of astronomy in the Steward Observatory who co-authored the study. The study was published in the Astrophysical Journal.

After analyzing data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a project that took images of the sky, a handful of objects were found that resembled stars being partially swallowed by a black hole.

The process of a star being shredded and falling into a black hole is called

“Then again, the universe is usually weirder than you think.”

a tidal disruption event, Zaritsky said.

Most of a star’s matter spirals into the black hole where nothing, not even light, can escape. The remaining material was examined by a team of researchers.

Black holes are located near the center of the galaxy, which is where the star remains were found. Their location is strong evidence that these were indeed tidal disruption events, and not one of the many possibilities that resemble them, Zaritsky said.

After more analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey’s data of a few million galaxies, they settled on two tidal disruption events.

“Could there be some other kind of exploding star that we’ve never seen? Perhaps, but it would have to always happen at the center of galaxies,” Zaritsky said. “Then again, the universe is usually weirder than you think.”

People have been looking for tidal disruption events for at least the last decade, Zaritsky said.

“It’s hard to say this is the first time they’ve been discovered, because other people have put out claims of finding them,” he said. “But this is the first large optical survey where you look for variability and find them

Employers weigh risks of migrant labor Mcclatchy tribune

WASHINGTON — Under President Barack Obama’s administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has changed tactics, shifting its focal point from the undocumented worker to the employer knowingly hiring illegal labor.

This approach has seemingly paid off with the agency having its most prolific year — removing 396,906 illegal immigrants, the majority having been convicted of felonies or misdemeanors.

But in a memo to all employees earlier this year, ICE Director John Morton confronted the reality of balancing the agency’s monumental task with its finite resources. Morton wrote that ICE “only has resources to remove approximately 400,000 aliens per year, less than 4 percent of the estimated illegal alien population in the United States.”

With such a limitation, Morton said, ICE is focusing its effort on critical infrastructure, public safety and border security. In other words, agriculture isn’t explicitly a priority for ICE. “And they are right,” a vegetable farmer in Virginia said of ICE’s approach. “How much threat is some cucumber pickers?”

But farmers getting caught hiring illegal workers is “a very real possibility,” according to Bob Andrews, the ICE assistant special agent in charge of coordinating worksite enforcements for Georgia and the Carolinas. “I can point to numerous cases where we’ve sent people to jail for significant lengths of time for knowingly hiring undocumented aliens. To me it’s a significant risk.”

ICE has conducted investigations

involving agricultural-related businesses, added Del Richburg, assistant special agent in charge for North Carolina. “But it’s not necessarily what we’d consider

critical infrastructure sector.”

Richburg was not able to quantify the number of cases involving North Carolina agriculture-related businesses because ICE does not break down data

by industry and signs nondisclosure agreements with those civilly punished, but he characterized the number as “a handful” in the last year.

Syria slams US for ‘blatant interference’ Mcclatchy tribune

BEIRUT — The Syrian government lashed out at the Obama administration Saturday for “blatant interference in Syrian affairs” after the State Department advised people in the country against surrendering as part of an amnesty offered by the regime.

Syria accused Washington of “inciting sedition, supporting the acts of killing and terrorism,” the official Syrian news agency said, quoting an official source at the Foreign Ministry.

Syria frequently denounces “foreign” interference, but Saturday’s broadside was among the most pointed outbursts. The Obama administration has called for President Bashar Assad to step down amid an uprising in the police state that has seen an estimated 3,000 civilians killed.

The comments came a day after

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland declared that she would counsel Syrians to reject the amnesty, in which those the government terms arms violators were asked to turn themselves in with their weapons “to the nearest police station” during a one-week period that began Saturday.

Those who surrender and have not killed anyone “will be released soon,” the Interior Ministry vowed.

“I wouldn’t advise anybody to turn themselves in to regime authorities at the moment,” Nuland told reporters in Washington. The department had no further comment Saturday.

The opposition called the amnesty a sham and a trap in a police state where thousands of suspects are being held incommunicado.

Meanwhile, the head of the Arab League, Nabil Elaraby, warned in Cairo

on Saturday of “disastrous consequences” if a league-brokered peace pact for Syria fails.

Assad last week agreed to the league plan, which calls for a withdrawal of troops from populated areas, a release of prisoners and a new “dialogue” with opponents, among other terms.

The opposition accuses the Assad regime of ignoring the peace pact and continuing to attack protesters. Activists said that 22 people were killed Saturday — including 19 in the central city of Homs, the site of fierce clashes and apparent sectarian slayings.

The opposition calls itself a peaceful coalition seeking democratic change.

But it also has an armed component, including military defectors. The Syrian government says “armed groups” are driving the unrest and have killed more than 1,000 security personnel.

Gen. Fuller ousted from Afghan position after critical remarks Mcclatchy tribune

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — A U.S. general responsible for training Afghanistan’s security forces has been relieved of his duties for criticizing Afghan President Hamid Karzai and saying the country’s leaders were “isolated from reality.”

Maj. Gen. Peter Fuller, deputy commander of NATO’s training mission in Afghanistan, made the comments in an interview posted Thursday on the website Politico. A day later, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, released a statement saying Fuller had been relieved of his assignment.

“These unfortunate comments are neither indicative of our current solid relationship with the government of Afghanistan, its leadership

F O R

or our joint commitment to prevail here in Afghanistan,” Allen said in the statement.

Interviewed while he was in Washington for a conference, Fuller lashed out over recent comments by Karzai that Afghanistan would stand

by Pakistan if it were ever attacked by the United States. Karzai’s aides later claimed that the Afghan leader’s remarks had been misinterpreted.

Politico quoted Fuller as calling Karzai’s comments “erratic,” and said, “Why don’t you just poke me in the eye with a needle! You’ve got to be kidding me. I’m sorry, we just gave you $11.6 billion and now you’re telling me, ‘I really don’t care?’ … When they are going to have a presidential election, you hope they get a guy that’s more articulate in public.”

While I was still a graduate student at Stanford, we adopted our first child. We identified a second child, whom we adopted just a couple of months into my first employment as an acting assistant professor of engineering at UCLA. Our third child was black, and that was a really shocking change for the world to see. My wife saw this child on television through a program called “Adoption Interviews.” Once you have one black child and you’re a white couple in a white neighborhood, it’s really important to have a second black child. So we deliberately adopted our fourth child.

Then my wife watched that damn TV show one more time and she saw Teresa, an American Indian child in foster care whose parents had both died. That 10-year-old, in coming to us, said, “Will you please adopt my sister, too?” So we adopted her sibling.

That’s where the six all came together.

“This is not just about growing vegetables,” Johnson added. “This is about growing our kids.”

Judges included faculty, community members and volunteers with expertise in one of the 12 specific categories. Projects fell into categories like engineering, social sciences and law, public health and education, among others.

Marielle Smith’s presentation fell into the biological sciences category, because she explained how carbon accumulates in secondary forests and plantations in the tropics. Smith, a graduate student studying ecology and evolutionary biology, said

she spent months researching how carbon affects climate change and how we could generate more carbon in abandoned and disturbed lands. She found that if more plantation forests were established, they could naturally make more carbon with less time and money. Smith said she was a bit weary of her findings, because she does not just want policy makers to make more plantation forests, but to see how they can spur biodiversity in current lands.

“There is still a lot of biodiversity in natural forest areas,” she said. “Looking at just carbon alone could be detrimental.”

Winners were formally announced at an awards ceremony on Friday.

Financial Aid previously offered in-person counseling but did not find much student interest, he said.

Though students may have trouble paying back these loans, they have to “work to get themselves to default,” Scott said.

Lenders are willing to work with students on repayment and deferment plans, Scott said. Defaulting requires students to not only neglect to pay back their loans but also avoid the lender, he said.

“I tell students, ‘These are the ones you want to talk to. They’ll do anything to help you from going into default,’” said Scott, adding that his office is waiting for specific details from President Barack Obama’s plan to see how it will affect students.

But loan debt can take a toll on students’ well-being, said Joyce Serido, assistant research professor in the Norton School of Family and Consumer Sciences and co-principal investigator of Arizona Pathways to Life Success for University Students. The project surveyed about 2,000 UA freshmen in spring 2008 about their financial behaviors and has continued with follow-up surveys throughout the past several years.

The economic recession may be negatively affecting students’ financial behavior, Serido said.

In the last survey in fall 2010, about one-third of students made progress in improving their financial behavior, Serido said, but about 40 percent of students’ behavior got worse.

“Many of these students are taking on more responsibilities,” Serido said. “Kids found they would have to pick up the slack for their expenses.”

The survey also found that the 40 percent of students without debt had better psychological health than those with debt, Serido said.

New loan initiatives may help in sparking a dialogue between students and parents about what loans are reasonable to take out, Serido said. Simplifying the system could help with these conversations, she said.

The potential new cap on how much students are required to pay back each month could help make loan debt more manageable, Samartinean said.

“I definitely think it’d be beneficial,” he said. “There’s no way around paying back loans.”

You dealt with several challenges during this process. Describe those challenges, and how dealing with them has affected you, your family and your career.

In my personal perspective, coping with the challenges presented by our children helped me enormously as a university president. I know that I was more effective in dealing with black kids, for example, because all through my life as a university faculty member, dean and president, I had black kids of my own.

What does it mean to you to be When you love individual human beings who are in these special categories, the the “featured author” at this year’s Homecoming? categories just become irrelevant.

Other graduate students, like Michael Kotutwa Johnson who is working on his degree in American Indian studies, explained how culture supports sustainability. Johnson presented corn heirlooms that were passed down from generation to generation to show how values govern agriculture, not just science alone.

He said this is why farming principles, such as respecting all life, working hard and being humble, are vital to

The average undergraduate at an Arizona university had $19,946 in debt in 2009-2010, according to a 2010 report from the Arizona Board of Regents. The average graduate student had $42,097 in debt.

Mihai Samartinean, a first-year law student in the UA’s James E. Rogers College of Law, said he knew he would have to take out loans to pay for tuition.

“There’s no way around it,” Samartinean said. “There’s no way to cover it with just scholarships.”

Samartinean decided to go to the UA for his undergraduate career because he knew he could cover his expenses with scholarships and by working. But taking out loans is stressful with a lack of high-paying jobs available upon graduation, he said.

“It’s a constant worry,” Samartinean said. “It only gets more expensive every year until you pay it all off.”

There was one move that was, from the kids’ perspective, really critical, and that was the move from UCLA to New York.

When I first was approached by Columbia, I thought, “Well I can’t uproot my kids, my wife. We’re California people. How can we go to New York?” But my wife said, “Let’s go,” and so we took off.

editorial State of young America looks dark, not hopeless

T

he future looks bleak, but chances are, if you are reading this, you already knew that. According to a report titled “The State of Young America,” we are all doomed.

And that’s only a slight exaggeration.

The report was the result of a collaboration between Demos, a New York City-based think tank that works to influence public policy, and Young Invincibles, a nonprofit youth advocacy organization that focuses on advancing education, health care and economic opportunity for young adults between the ages 18 and 34. In other words, you.

Our parents bemoan our laziness, the coddling and spoiling that has made us soft and so prone to whining about everything that has been essentially handed to us. But “The State of Young America” demonstrates a new reality: That sense of entitlement our parents complain about? It’s gone. In the wake of the Great Recession, nearly half of young Americans between 18 and 34 years old do not believe they will be economically better off than their parents.

Among the youngest adults, the rate of unemployment is almost twice the national average, according to the report.

And before the skeptics can suggest it’s because those darned kids just don’t know what hard work is, almost 60 percent of the survey’s respondents said they would rather work more.

Making matters even darker, joblessness is worst among young adults with less education, but college graduates are still a minority. While the enrollment rate is growing, dropout rates are still high.

Nearly half of high school graduates who move on to college fail to actually finish college, according to the report, which blames this rate on a number of factors.

Since 1980, public university tuition has tripled. Average tuition at private universities has done nearly the same, and tuition at community colleges has more than doubled.

Oddly, though recent graduates are working less than they want to be, more than half of 4-year college students work more than 20 hours a week as tuition rises and as financial aid shrinks. Working so much and going to school only part-time increases the risk that students will fail to complete their degrees, making it still harder for young adults to find employment.

But while “The State of Young America” paints a stark portrait of the immense challenges faced by college students and recent graduates, not all is lost.

For now, as far as the numbers project, this generation will be the first to be worse off than its parents were — a failure to live the American dream. But this is only a projection, and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Demos and Young Invincibles offer specific solutions to improve the economic outlook. These include phasing increases into to the federal minimum wage, eventually reaching $10 per hour by 2013, so that low-wage workers to “live above poverty.” The report also suggests increasing accessibility to college, pointing to educational attainment as the cause behind the success of the middle class.

The subjects of the report are between 18 and 34, a period of time when people are shaping their futures: They pursue higher education and job skills, they join the workforce and begin to build careers.

They buy their first houses, begin planning for families, start saving for retirement.

Individually, all of these decisions will drastically influence our futures.

Collectively, young America must decide they are worth saving.

“The State of Young America” is more than a collection of numbers telling you of just how completely screwed your future looks thanks to the Great Recession and the decline of the United States’ middle class. Instead, it’s a reminder to endure.

While it appears that this will be the first generation that will be economically worse off than its parents, it’s certainly not the first to face challenges. There’s no better way to prove the naysayers wrong than by demonstrating the ability to survive, and come out on the other side a better person because of it.

Channel your anxiety into the quest for real, meaningful solutions. Don’t let fear become debilitating. Be informed and engaged. The frustration faced by young America can be turned into a positive force for change.

t is so very, very hard to suffer from privilege.

It’s a wonderful thing to live in a comfortable home, consistently ensured more than enough food, essentially promised an equal opportunity to pursue an education and build a steady career so that you can become what’s commonly known as a “contributing member of society.”

It’s also a terrible thing to be so privileged, to be so sure of how right you are, how entitled you are to everything and your absolute rightness.

And it must be incredibly easy to criticize the “Occupy” movement when your worst problem is how long you have to wait before you can buy the next iPhone. First-world problems.

As the “Occupy” movement grows, protesters have been infantilized by their critics. “Occupy” demonstrators are lazy, spoiled children, they say. They pretend that they are owed so much for doing so little, and their goddamn tents are such a nuisance. Why can’t they just be like every other success and pull themselves up by

factors (“I failed that midterm because my professor is a terrible lecturer!”), and our successes to internal factors (“I aced that midterm because I am really smart!”).

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Hard liquor equals hard night A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to Villa del Puente Residence Hall at 1:20 a.m. on Tuesday in response to a call about an intoxicated woman. The woman had been vomiting and Tucson Fire Department medics treated her at the scene. The woman had red, watery eyes. She also had trouble balancing and was slurring her words. She told the officer she had been at a party off campus and drank three shots of hard liquor.

She said she did not know the address of the house or who gave her the alcohol. The woman was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol in body.

What goes down, must come up A UAPD officer went to Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday in response to an intoxicated woman. She told the officer she was having trouble finding her room. She had red, watery eyes, slurred speech and a strong smell of alcohol coming from her mouth. TFD paramedics treated her at the scene. The woman told them she had not had any drugs, but drank numerous shots of liquor and some beer. She would not say where she drank or who gave her the alcohol. The officer asked the woman if she had vomited and she said yes, she had thrown up in the elevator and the fifth floor women’s restroom. She was cited and released for minor in possession of alcohol in body. A resident assistant walked the woman to her room.

Attempted theft foiled A UAPD officer went to the Gould-Simpson building on Tuesday in response to a man who appeared to be around 50 years old and was trying to steal a bike. The witness said the man wore a black baseball cap, a gray hooded sweatshirt and he was carrying bolt cutters and a small black travel case. Another officer reported he had seen the subject near South Hall. The officer went to the area and found the man matching the description.

The officer asked the man to give him the pliers he was holding, which he did. The man said he had intended to steal a bike. He found one secured to the bike rack at the Gould-Simpson building with a cable lock, but he was unable to cut the lock with the pliers. He said he saw a woman watching him so he left. The man showed the officer which bike he had tried to steal. The cable lock had a deep cut in it but was still usable.

The officer arrested the man for attempted theft and booked him into Pima County Jail. The officer left a note on the bike the man attempted to steal and was contacted a few hours later by the owner. The officer explained to the woman what had happened. She said she wanted to participate in the prosecution.

With only a few weeks before the end of the semester, here are three tracks to spice up that old iPod playlist you’ve been walking around campus to all semester — and if the tracks spark your interest, there are also dates and venues where each artist can be seen live in concert this week in Tucson.

Generationals — “When They Fight, They Fight”

The duo of Ted Joyner and Grant Widmer produce a debut album serving as a veritable span of pop music highlights from the ‘50s to the ‘90s. The fourth track on the New Orleans duo’s Con Law, “When They Fight, They Fight” (2009) wouldn’t be out of place on the jukebox of a greasy spoon, hole-in-the-wall diner or on a pop station as a new summer hit — perfect for a late semester pick-me-up. The Generationals has joined forces with Mates of State and will perform tonight at Plush, on the corner of Sixth Street and Fourth Avenue.

Ra Ra Riot — “Boy”

New York indie rockers Ra Ra Riot’s “Boy” (2010) off their sophomore album The Orchard features Wes Miles’ indie-pop vocalizing over an interesting strings section. It adds extra layers to the piece and an outstanding bass addition that makes the song ripe for a little headnodding while walking down the UA Mall.

The band pulls in crossover potential too, even getting this song on a car commercial for the new fall 2011 Honda Civic Ex-L. Ra Ra Riot will bring that sensibility to Club Congress downtown on Tuesday, with Delicate Steve and Yellow Ostrich.

Mac Miller — “Donald Trump”

Pittsburgh rap phenom Mac Miller signed with Rostrum Records, the same label as Wiz Khalifa, fresh out of high school and has been making mixtape hits since. In “Donald Trump,” (2011) he makes sure to let it be known to his fleet of adoring fans that he’s made it — and he’s not going anywhere, with a swag far past his 19 years. Mac also shocks crowds by strumming his guitar, which he taught himself to play by the age of 6, something, fingers crossed, he’ll pull again on Saturday at the Rialto Theatre.

bowl busted Wildcats fall to Utah, end threeyear bowl streak

commentary

New era ahead

By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat

Arizona had two punts blocked, dropped three passes, had three false-start penalties, botched a fake field goal attempt and threw an interception deep in its own territory, and that was just the first half of a 34-21 loss to Utah at Arizona Stadium on Saturday.

The Wildcats’ loss eliminated them from bowl eligibility for the first time since 2007.

“It’s a tough situation for these guys to be in,” interim head coach Tim Kish said.

“We’ve eliminated ourselves from postseason eligibility, but we’ll pick ourselves up and find a way to be positive.”

But even though Arizona lost its second straight game while turning the ball over at ill-advised times, Kish said that all he wants to see is the team fighting for the entire game.

“From my vantage point on the sideline, that was a team that played hard for 60 minutes,” Kish said. “There was no quit in them. They fought to the very last second of the game and they have no reason to hang their head.”

Arizona (2-7, 1-6 Pac-12) missed an opportunity to get points on its first drive of the game after driving to the Utah 15-yard line. A false start pushed the Wildcats back to the 20-yard line, where they unsuccessfully tried a fake field goal.

Kish said Utah (5-4, 2-4) is a team that rushes field goals hard from off the edge, and that’s why the play called for holder Kyle Dugandzic to pitch the ball to kicker John Bonano, who was tackled for a loss of five.

“We knew that if they (came off the edge), that thing would be wide open,” Kish said.

“But unfortunately, in that particular case for whatever reason — I don’t know if they sniffed something or what — but they played coverage on our wings.”

On its next possession, Arizona had the first of two punts blocked, setting up the Utes for a 33-yard field goal.

Utah took a 10-0 lead on a 65-yard touchdown pass that took advantage of corner Jourdon Grandon — who was replacing injured starter Shaq Richardson — being overly aggressive on a play-action pass, then used a scoring drive started by a Nick Foles interception at the Arizona 30 to increase the

Kish said.

Senior wide receiver David Douglas hauled in 10 passes for two touchdowns and a careerhigh 156 yards, but the Arizona offense struggled to find a rhythm for much of the night while playing the first half without freshman running back Ka’Deem Carey, who was suspended for a violation of team policy.

t’s officially time to turn the page.

With Arizona’s bowl-eliminating 34-21 loss to Utah on Saturday, a new era of Arizona football is now under construction.

Sure, there are three games to be played. Yes, Arizona will compete in Boulder, Colo., on Saturday.

And of course the Wildcats still have a chance to end the season with some sense of pride with a win over ASU in two weeks.

Freshman defensive back Tra’Mayne Bondurant said the team will dedicate the rest of the season to its seniors.

Nick Foles, Juron Criner, Robert Golden, Trevin Wade and other Arizona football lifers certainly deserve the honor.

But with no shot at making a program-record fourth consecutive bowl game, let’s face it.

The season, and more significantly an era, is over.

Tim Kish and his Arizona assistant coaches are searching for new employers. Some Wildcat players will seek transfers. And most importantly of all, athletic director Greg Byrne will find Arizona football’s new head honcho.

Was Mike Leach searching for houses during his book signing in Tucson last week? Was former Oregon coach Mike Bellotti so adamant about shooting down Arizona rumors because there is actually something to hide? Is Boise State’s Chris Petersen actually out of Byrne’s league?

All of those questions will be answered soon.

While on the surface the Utah loss looks like an embarrassing bowl-eliminating loss on Homecoming, it’s more than that. It’s not just the exclamation point on a bad season for the Wildcats.

It’s the program moving in a new direction. The remnants of Mike Stoops will be weeded out with time. But while all of the unknowns surrounding Arizona football play out, it’s hard not to feel for this 2011 team.

This group of seniors started the Arizona football movement back in 2008. The seniors have been to three straight bowl games and helped put the Wildcats back on

Foles’ struggles prove costly in loss to Utah

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

It was the fourth quarter, and after struggling most of the game, Arizona was finally gaining some momentum.

Trailing 27-14 with about 11 minutes remaining, Arizona started a drive from its own 20-yard-line.

Led by quarterback Nick Foles, the Wildcats drove their way up the field to Utah’s 9-yard-line. After a defensive pass interference call, it was 1st-andgoal on the 2-yard line.

Foles threw the ball toward freshman Austin Hill in the right corner of the end zone, but the senior quarterback threw the ball behind his receiv-

er and Utah cornerback Conroy Black jumped in front of it to make the interception, sucking away the Wildcats’ hopes for the game and the season.

“I just made a bad throw. I sort of did a back shoulder sort of look and it just wasn’t a good ball,” Foles said. “I didn’t execute well at the end and we didn’t execute well as an offense for most of the game.”

In terms of yardage, it’s hard to tell how much Foles has been struggling the last two weeks, as he has thrown for 714 yards and four scores against Washington and Utah.

But poor decision-making from Arizona’s quarterback was part of

what officially eliminated from bowl eligibility following the 34-21 loss to Utah on Saturday.

“It’s been pretty tough,” Foles said.

“You have times like this but you fight through them. But you learn a lot about your teammates and who’s really there for you through the tough times.”

After throwing three interceptions against Washington last week and two this week, Foles has reached what might just be his worst stretch of his career.

Statistically speaking, the Utah game was Foles’ worst since last year’s Alamo Bowl against Oklahoma State,

when he threw for 280 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions.

Against Utah, Foles went 25-for-43 with 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. His 58.1 completion percentage was the worst of the year for the senior. Over the last two weeks, Foles has now thrown five interceptions and only four touchdowns. Prior to the Washington game, he had thrown for five interceptions on the season and just once, against Oregon State, did he throw for more interceptions than touchdowns in a game.

“It hasn’t really worked out the last two weeks for me,” Foles said. “I’ve

thrown some good balls but then I thought the throw in the end zone was bad and I thought the first pick was a bad decision by me. That’s stuff I’ve got to get rid of.

“That’s part of the game, you grow.

It’s tough though, you have growing pains.”

Despite his recent struggles, Foles has been nothing short of spectacular overall for the Wildcats over the course of the season. At the helm of a struggling 2-7 football team, Foles has thrown for 3,260 yards, good for third in the

Basketball opens Parrom back by early against Valpo Hoops Notes

December, Miller says

By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Arizona junior Kevin Parrom is ahead of schedule and should return to action by early December at the latest, according to head coach Sean Miller. After getting shot in the right leg on Sept. 24, Parrom now has almost all of the feeling back in his leg and is working out in full force.

The 6-foot-6 swingman has been cleared to do basketball activities without contact for up to 60 minutes and will participate in 5-on-5 play in just over a week, according to Miller. Parrom is running underwater and working out every day as he aims for an early December return.

“He’s made a lot of progress,” Miller said. “We talked about December. I think there’s a chance optimistically that it could be before that. We’re starting to count on him joining us in early December, then it all comes back to what role will he have, how successful will he be when he plays in the game.”

UA forward Kevin Parrom is making progress to return to the court after getting shot in the leg, and head coach Sean Miller expects him back in December.

Although it remains to be seen how he’ll bounce back from the injury, Parrom is expected to add experience, scoring and toughness to a team lacking in all three areas.

Sean Miller said the Arizona men’s basketball team will see much of the same type of play as it did during the exhibition season when it takes on Valparaiso in the 2011-12 season opener tonight.

That includes using the same starting lineup consisting of freshman Josiah Turner, juniors Solomon Hill and Kyryl Natyazhko, and seniors Jesse Perry and Kyle Fogg when the No. 16 Wildcats tip off at 7 p.m. in McKale Center.

Arizona continues to adjust in how the roles of freshmen Turner, Nick Johnson, Sidiki Johnson and Angelo Chol pan out. That includes using Chol at center, where he would split time with Natyazhko.

“I do think he can really grow and be an agile and really quick five-man that could complement Kyryl,” Miller said of Chol. “Be a different look, use his agility. That’s where Angelo can

have the best freshman year for him.”

Miller will continue to figure out his rotations against Valparaiso, who went 2-0 in its exhibition season, and was picked to finish fifth in the Horizon League preseason poll.

“I think it will be a great test, probably very similar to the two teams that we played,” Miller said. “Be very well-coached, disciplined with a number of players on their team that are skilled and can play the game.”

While Valparaiso has eight returning players this season, it doesn’t help much for the Crusaders’ short bench, with just nine players eligible this semester. Junior Ryan Broekhoff, who averaged 10.3 points per game, 5.2 rebounds and shot nearly 45 percent from beyond the arc, is one of the players that could make a difference for Valparaiso.

Rubio disappointed in team’s fight, play DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona volleyball came out swinging on Friday, defeating Oregon State 3-0 (25-20, 25-16, 25-17), before crumbling yesterday to No. 20 Oregon in a heartbreaking 3-0 loss (25-22, 25-11, 29-27).

On Sunday, the Wildcats (15-10, 7-9) took the Ducks by surprise with an aggressive start both offensively and defensively, leading the majority of the first game and making six blocks. Despite the Wildcats’ impressive defense at the net, the Ducks picked up their offense by overpowering those defensive efforts and nabbing the first game.

Arizona’s defense and aggressive spirit disappeared in the second game.

The Ducks took control of the entire second set, rarely giving the Wildcats an opportunity to get on the board.

“It was like we put all of our eggs in one basket in Game 1 and decided we weren’t going to be able to do anything in Game 2,” head coach Dave Rubio said. “We quit fighting and it was disappointing. I haven’t seen us just roll over like that in awhile.”

But after the break, the Wildcats stormed the court looking for redemption, vigorously fighting throughout the entire game.

With tension mounting, the Wildcats had two game-point opportunities, but blew both with service errors. Even the Ducks missed their game-point opportunity with a missed serve. The third set really came down to which team made its serves, and that team was Oregon.

Freshman Taylor Arizobal bumps a ball during Sunday’s 3-0 loss to Oregon in McKale Center.

“There’s no reason why Game 3 shouldn’t have been extended to Game 4,” Rubio said. “I’m not sure if it’s our youth that’s starting to show, but we’re certainly not playing with any kind of maturity.”

It was another match Rubio felt his team didn’t lose, but gave away, he said.

Arizona did have a total of 12 blocks throughout the match, but it wasn’t enough.

“I don’t think there was a highlight in today’s game,” Rubio said.

On Friday, both Arizona and Oregon State were going into the match 6-8 in conference play.

Overall the match was fairly competitive, going point for point in each game. The Wildcats’ offense was on fire, nailing ball after ball.

Arizona came out victorious in a clean 3-0 win, one-upping the Beavers in conference.

Freshman Madison Kingdon and senior Courtney Karst were the night’s offensive leaders. Kingdon topped the kill chart with 15 and Karst followed with 13. Karst had a team-high .591 hitting percentage for the match.

Freshman Chloe Mathis totaled 37 assists for the Wildcats.

The Arizona soccer team’s season from hell is finally over.

After Friday’s 2-1 loss to ASU, the Wildcats end the year with 1-16-2 overall record, its worst in 17 years.

“I’m proud of the way the team has handled the season in working hard and the personality they’ve played with throughout the season, but I’m disappointed with the results,” head coach Lisa Oyen said. “It’s a little redundant that after every game we play hard, we have chances and we don’t put them away.”

Prior to the game, the team’s lone senior, goalkeeper Ashley Jett, was honored for her contributions to the team over the last four years. Undergraduate volunteer assistant coach Brittany Cole and team manager Collin Robinson were honored as well.

“I’m proud of my team,” Jett said, “I’m sad it’s over but it’s a long journey and it has to come to an end at some point.”

Sophomore Jazmin Ponce had the Wildcat’s lone goal on the day, her team-leading second goal of the season.

“I’m kind of sad that the way we lost so many games and didn’t show who we are,” Ponce said. “Now people are gonna talk about us and say, ‘Oh, they are not good enough

because they lost so many games.’”

Swimming defeats Badgers, pull out third win in a row

As head coach Eric Hansen shook hands with Wisconsin’s coach after the men’s and women’s swim teams scored another home victory, the look on his face was different than the one he wore at the meets against UNLV and Kansas.

Wisconsin is Hansen’s former team, and according to him, the Arizona men winning 166-93 and the women winning 151.5-92.5 at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center on Friday is something special.

“It for sure means more than a regular meet,” said Hansen, who is in his first year coaching the Wildcats. “I’ve got personal relationships with kids on that team and staff. This was fun. It meant a lot to me.”

The Wildcats again swept the relays, winning both the men and women’s 200-yard medley and 200 freestyle. Arizona currently holds top-10 times nationally in those events and holds the best time in America in the men’s 200-medley relay.

fast facts • The standard keyboard used today, the QWERTY keyboard, was actually created in the 1870s for typewriters.

• The original typewriter was set up alphabetically, but the buttons would jam so a new design had to be implemented.

• Before electronic typewriters and keyboards, a typist would have to put more strength into each key stroke in order for the ink to print.

• Remington, the gun manufacturer, made a contract with the inventor of the typewriter in order to make a better one.

W-hoops beats Grand Canyon

By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball completed exhibition play on Sunday, defeating Grand Canyon University 81-54 in McKale Center.

Head coach Niya Butts described it as a solid team win despite the Wildcats’ offensively slow start with 11-for-37 shooting in the first half.

The Wildcats still finished ahead, leading 33-22 at the halftime buzzer.

“We didn’t shoot the ball particularly well in the first half, but the way we finished the game was really strong — we cut down on our

new era

the map.

Now they’re 2-7. Foles’ 350-plus passing yard games don’t mean much in terms of wins. Wade’s lights out season goes unnoticed.

These seniors had to endure the roller coaster ride that was the 2011 season. From injuries to coaching changes to flat-out bad play, this season has been one to forget.

turnovers, which is something I asked them to do, and our goal was to hold them to 54 points or less and we were able to do that,” Butts said.

More impressively, Arizona forced 31 turnovers in the game while only committing 12 themselves. Butts attributed the success to the team’s switch from man to zone defense. Aside from the team’s rebounding, everything else looked smarter, Butts said.

Defensively, both Candice Warthen and Davellyn Whyte agreed that the zone defense is better for the team — Whyte also touched on the lack of rebounds.

“We were lazy on the boards,” Whyte said. “We played good defense and then we just kind of sat there and relaxed, and on the long rebounds we weren’t getting there or hustling to the loose balls.”

Despite shooting 3-for-14, Whyte totaled 13 points and five assists for the team.

“My shooting game was a little off tonight,” Whyte said. “Thank God my teammates were there to pick us up.”

Sophomore Warthen and freshman Erin Butler picked up the slack, Warthen leading with 15 points and Butler right behind her with 14.

Foles and Criner will worry about draft stock. Assistant coaches need to find a new gig. The Stoops players may consider taking their talents elsewhere.

While the Wildcats’ season is lost and uneventful, the future isn’t. There are huge transformations ahead, and the Utah loss marks the beginning of a new era.

“Why is that? He can really shoot the ball. He’s one player on our team who we know from his past can score 20 points a game,” Miller added. “He’s one of our most physical players. He rebounds, defensively he’s experienced. All those things are things we really need right now.”

“They have a number of different players that can shoot the ball,” Miller said. “They’re that team on a given night that can make a lot of shots, a lot of 3-point shots that puts themselves in a position to beat anybody.”

What to watch for:

“It’s been a tough year. I know they’re heartbroken, I mean, I am,” Foles said after the Utah loss. “It’s tough. It’s a Homecoming game, your senior year. It just hasn’t gone the way I expected.”

But while the present is tough to swallow, change is ahead. Big moves will be made soon. Players and coaches will say all they can do is focus on the next game. Colorado is all that’s on their minds. Then ASU. Then Louisiana-Lafayette.

But that’s tongue and cheek.

Though they outgained Utah 457332, the Wildcats were forced to punt five times and turned the ball over three times, partly due to a schematic change that Utah made before the game — playing more zone coverage.

“They’re usually a team that plays a lot of man,” Douglas said. “They were just mixing up their looks. They’re a tough defense and they play hard.”

Although Arizona got down early, it had a chance to get the game to

see him return to form. We need Jordin to play well. He has great experience from a year ago, and he can really shoot the ball.”

After going scoreless and committing two turnovers in 14 minutes against Seattle Pacific, Mayes finished with two points, an assist and two steals in 18 minutes against Humboldt State.

Freshman Josiah Turner remains the team’s starting point guard, although he’s far from a finished product.

“Josiah’s still very much a work in progress. Learning how to work hard every day. Transitioning from high school to college,” Miller said.

“Just continuing to learn what college defense is about when guys are running off of screens.

Everything’s faster.”

Although it hasn’t shown up in the box score, sophomore guard Jordin Mayes is improving on a daily basis after undergoing offseason foot surgery. Miller recently called him a month away condi- Chol and Natyazhko tioning-wise, but Mayes is on his to split at center way back to 100 percent.

Kyle Fogg took around 40,000 shots during the offseason, but in exhibition play there weren’t signs that it seemed to help much.

Fogg went a combined 3-for-13 in the two exhibition games. But head coach Sean Miller said that Fogg’s struggles are more a product of Arizona’s offense rather than Fogg’s lack of effort.

“He hasn’t had very many good looks and that’s a function of our offense,” Miller said. “Our offense is really choppy. There’s not a real fluidity to our offense. Part of what we have to do as a team is put Kyle in a position to get good, open shots.”

within six points after it drove to the Utah 2-yard line with a little over 7:30 to play in the game.

But Foles threw his second interception of the game, which was returned to the Arizona 43-yard line. Seven plays later — all runs — Utah running back John White IV scored from 11 yards out, putting the Utes up 34-14.

Foles was looking for Gino Crump who was in one-on-one coverage, but threw the ball just a few feet too far inside.

“I just made a bad throw,” Foles said. “It just wasn’t a good ball.”

Kyryl Natyazhko at center. Miller said Chol and Natyazhko will split time at the position.

Arizona is expected to add more depth at center soon with senior Alex Jacobson getting closer to a return from back problems.

Jacobson’s practiced only twice all year but is moving in the right direction.

“He’s for the first time showing progress,” Miller said. “It gives us a healthier feeling of more options and more depth there and that’s something we need at that position.”

Johnson to play 25 minutes a game

Miller is aiming to play freshman guard Nick Johnson around 25 minutes per game after he played 21 minutes in each of the first two exhibition games.

“That may not seem like a big difference but it is. That makes our team better,” Miller said. “I think he’ll continue to grow and develop with that bigger role.”

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships There are no classes on Veteran’s Day: Friday 11/11/11, a day initiated in 1919 to honor American WWI Veterans.

Prior to 1954, the day was called Armistice Day.

Q I have some bumps on my penis. What could they be and what should I do?

A. No one wants funk on their junk. Your bumps could be one of many conditions. Some are harmless and others need attention.

Possibilities include: inflamed hair follicles, eczema, psoriasis, sebaceous cysts, herpes, molluscum contagiosum, and genital warts.

Your best move is to be examined by a medical professional. Contact the UA Campus Health Service (CHS) at (520) 621-9202 or a clinic in the community. The experienced providers at CHS see LOTS of genital bumps every week and your medical records are confidential.

Near and dear to the penis, are the testicles.

Pay special attention to any “lumps” under the skin there. To examine yourself, use both hands to hold a testicle between your thumbs and fingers. Roll it gently, feeling for any hard lumps, smooth rounded bumps, or any change in the size, shape, or consistency of the testes.

Be aware that a normal testis includes the epididymis, which feels like a small “bump” on the upper or middle outer side of the testis. Any changes or unusual lumps should be evaluated by a medical provider to rule out testicular cancer, which affects mostly college-aged men, and is highly treatable when detected early.

Q Is it possible to get ingrown hairs on a male’s balls and penis? My boyfriend gets little spots on his penis that look like pimples.

A. Ingrown hairs are possible on the shaft of the penis and the scrotum (the sac which covers the testicles), or anywhere there is a hair follicle.

Also common are sebaceous cysts, which are caused by a buildup of skin oil/wax (sebum).

They are not sexually transmitted and there is no recommended treatment. Topical agents are not

effective in removing them. If the cysts are large, surgical excision may be tried, although the bumps often return, even after treatment.

If the cysts are bothersome, your boyfriend should consider seeing a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis and to seek further recommendations.
