Campaign against sexual assault hits UA

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA

ASUA will officially kick off the It’s On Us campaign with the Day of Action event on the UA Mall on Thursday.

It’s On Us is a national campaign against sexual assault on college campuses and was introduced

by President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in midSeptember.

Kyle Lierman, a White House author, said in a White House blog post about the campaign that it is meant to be a “rallying cry” encouraging everyone to realize that ending sexual assault on college campuses begins with them. The campaign also seeks to rebuild the conversation surrounding sexual assault and inspire everyone to see it as their duty to do something, big or small, to prevent sexual assault.

The Pac-12 Conference is taking part in the campaign, along with other colleges and over 50 partners across the nation. Partners include the Big Ten Conference, EA Sports, MTV and the National College Athletic Association.

Issac Ortega, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said ASUA has teamed up with the UA athletics department and studentathletes like basketball player Brandon Ashley and athletic director Greg Byrne to spread awareness about the It’s On Us campaign.

“The main message we are trying to get across is to really step up and do something and to let everyone know that it’s on us to do that,” Ortega said.

The King of McKale Center

BY CHASTITY LASKEY The Daily Wildcat

Three UA employees have recently been honored for their work and outstanding achievements.

Dr. Ronald Weinstein, founding director of the Arizona Telemedicine Program, was honored at the Connected Health Symposium in Boston.

Weinstein was honored for his outstanding work in the telemedicine field. He explained that the Arizona Telemedicine Program is connected to about 160 sites in 70 different communities and it brings many specialty medical services to geographically underserved populations.

“Telemedicine is the practice of medicine at a distance,” Weinstein said.

Weinstein is known as the “father of telepathology,” and said he was there at the very beginning of telemedicine.

During the 1980s, the National Cancer Institute sponsored studies on specific kinds of cancers. Pathologists were disagreeing on what the best diagnosis was, but with his experience of 15 years at the Massachusetts General Hospital, he had an idea.

Weinstein said he had the idea of creating a robotic microscope, which ended up creating an industry. “[Receiving the award] was a special pleasure,

hen attending any sporting event in McKale Center, it’s almost impossible not to notice, let alone hear, the UA Pep Band. One student in particular stands out from the rest of the band. He has become a staple in McKale Center and one of the biggest celebrities on campus.

He has appeared in USA Today, the Washington Post and national blogs like SB Nation. Meet 6-foot5 communications senior and trombone player Jordan Ingram.

“It’s something that I never thought would happen,” Ingram said. “When I first got into band, I was kind of quiet. I didn’t even want to join band; my parents made me do it. I’m so glad I did it because it’s just a once in a lifetime experience.”

The Flagstaff native has been a part of the Pep Band for four years and the Pride of Arizona marching band for five years. One way Ingram has garnered so much attention is through his dance moves that constantly appear on the Jumbotron scoreboard during the games.

“I like to dance,” Ingram said.

THE UA’S CARE, HEALTH, and society major in the School of Sociology emphasizes skills needed across the helping professions, such as teaching, medicine, nursing, counseling and teaching. The new major focuses on health as a social problem.

BY BRANDI WALKER The Daily Wildcat

Care, health and society is a recently added major at the UA that gives students an introduction to careers that deal with taking care of people.

Louise Roth, director of undergraduate studies for the School of Sociology, said the program was designed for students who were interested in pursuing nursing and other fields, like social work or

physical therapy.

Sarah Mason, a sophomore studying care, health and society, said she chose the new major because she knew she wanted to have a career in the health field but had not yet decided which area of the field she wants to focus on.

“Choosing this major allowed me to really explore all of the options there are within the health field,” Mason said.

Terrence Hill, care, health and society program director,

said one of the requirements to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in care, health and society is the completion of a semester-long internship, and Mason said this is one of her favorite components of the major.

“During that [internship] experience, they can acquire some skills that have to do with delivering health care or solving a problem in the community,” Hill said.

McSally, Barber race went to court, winner still unnamed

BY Max Rodriguez The Daily Wildcat

Judge James Marner of Arizona Superior Court in Pima County denied an attempt by Republican Martha McSally’s campaign to prevent a number of provisional ballots in Pima County from being counted in the tight race for Arizona’s 2nd Congressional District.

Eric Spencer, an attorney representing McSally, had sent an email to F. Ann Rodriguez, the Pima County recorder, and Brad Nelson, the director of the Pima County Elections Department, on Sunday challenging the validity of Pima County provisional ballots with a missing election official’s signature, according to an email obtained by Tucson Weekly.

Arizona’s voting procedures require that both “the voter and the election official sign the provisional ballot form.”

Spencer said in the email that the campaign was requesting the recorder’s office to cease counting any provisional ballots missing a signature and to embargo any provisional ballots already counted until they have been reviewed for the missing signature.

Chris Roads, the Pima County deputy recorder and registrar of voters, sent an email in response to Spencer which said the office would not stop the counting because the processing of the votes did nothing to affect their validity because “whether or not the poll worker signed the provisional is clearly identifiable from a simple examination of the provisional ballot,” according to the email obtained by Tucson Weekly.

Roads said on Monday after Marner’s decision that none of Arizona’s procedures had actually been broken, which is

coordinator for the Arizona Superior Court in Pima County, said Marner could not discuss why he ruled against McSally’s campaign, but confirmed that “the motion for the temporary restraining order was denied.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, McSally was leading Democratic incumbent Ron Barber by a mere 179 votes.

“We’re disappointed that a motion to shed more light on the rules being decided inside the recorder’s office was denied,” said Patrick Ptak, a spokesman for the McSally campaign in a statement on the challenge denial. “Southern Arizonans deserve to know that all procedures are being followed to ensure ballots are valid and that rules aren’t simply being decided on a whim.”

In an emailed press release, Ashley Nash-Hahn, the communications director for Ron Barber for Congress, said the ruling was a victory for making sure the voices of Southern Arizonans would be heard.

“Martha McSally will do anything to win, even throwing out the votes of Southern Arizonans,” Nash-Hahn said.

“Today was a win for democracy and a win for the people of Southern Arizona, who will make their voice heard at the ballot box — no matter how hard McSally tries to silence us.”

According to Arizona state laws, an automatic recount will occur if the final margin between Barber and McSally falls within one-tenth of 1 percent of the total votes.

The margin would have to be 219 votes or fewer to trigger a recount.

IFC is also involved in the campaign and ready to raise awareness around campus.

Geyer said the IFC purchased It’s On Us shirts that about 700 fraternity men will wear on the Day of Action and throughout the month of November to raise awareness and spark conversation about the campaign.

“This is a national campaign and an issue across our entire country, and it’s important that students at [the] UA are getting involved,” Geyer said. “It’s happening on all campuses across the entire country; it is not specific to our greek community or our campus. We want to take part in this countrywide campaign.”

ASUA members will be talking to students about the campaign at the event on the Mall in front of the Alumni Plaza from 11 a.m.-2 p.m., and Byrne will be talking to students and handing out free pizza from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Students will also be able to take the It’s On Us pledge by signing their name or taking the online pledge at the event.

According to the It’s On Us website, the pledge is “a personal commitment to help keep women and men safe from sexual assault” and “a promise not to be a bystander to the problem, but to be a part of the solution.” The Day of Action will also mark the premiere of the UA It’s On Us video; while similar to the video found on the national campaign’s website, it will have its own UA spin to it, Ortega said. The video will include student-athletes, ASUA members and different students and faculty.

The campaign will be a long-term effort to make the UA a campus where conversation about sexual assault and the prevention of it is present, Ortega said. In the spring, ASUA hopes to work with Residence Life and other campus resources on the campaign as well.

“The event is meant purely to raise awareness about ‘It’s On Us’ and creating an environment at the UA where sexual assault is 100 percent not tolerated,” Ortega said.

Never Settle progresses across UA

BY Alyssa Schlitzer The Daily Wildcat

When President Ann Weaver Hart unveiled Never Settle last fall, its main goal was 100 percent engagement, and the UA has continued working toward that goal this year.

According to the Never Settle website, one of the plan’s major goals is the 100 percent engagement plan, which is to make sure 100 percent of the students at UA receive opportunities and apply their knowledge through real-world experiences.

Barbara Bryson, vice president for strategic planning and analysis, said in an email interview that Never Settle is a road map and a decision map to help move the UA forward efficiently and with collaboration.

Melissa Vito, the senior vice president for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management and senior vice provost for Academic Initiatives and Student Success, is a leader in the engagement area of Never Settle and the 100 percent plan.

“Our overall goal is to make sure that our students have an experience that is distinctive at the [UA],” Vito said, “and that gives them a way to translate what you are learning in the classroom

Courtesy of University of Arizona

“Never Settle,” the UA’s strategic plan, includes four priorities: engaging, innovating, partnerships and synergy. A significant part of the Never Settle plan is 100 percent engagement to get students outside of the classroom and prepared for the real world.

in practical experiences, so that you either learn that this is exactly what you want to do when you leave or you learn things that maybe help lead you to a different career path.”

The kind of students that employers are looking for are students who have practical experiences through internships or other types of engagement pieces, Vito said, which is another

part of the Never Settle plan.

Vito said Never Settle would increase the ability of UA students to get jobs after graduation because of their 100 percent engagement experiences.

Jennifer Barton, the associate vice president for research and a biomedical engineering professor, said in order to achieve the research goals set forth by the Arizona Board of Regents in the

Never Settle plan, the UA was told it needed to double its research expenditures. It responded by developing seven areas with the potential to double research expenditures.

These seven areas are space and optics, defense and security, water and the arid environment, translational medicine, precision medicine, neuroscience and population health.

Community Chatter

“One of the main things we are really interested in is making sure that there [are] opportunities for [all]students who want to get engaged in research or scholarly activity [and] have an opportunity to do so,” Barton said. “So I think the more external funding we can bring, the more opportunities there are for both undergraduate and graduate students.”

Issac Ortega, president of the Associated Students of the University of Arizona, said Never Settle is setting the UA on a course for the future and allows students to get hands-on experience in the real world.

The biggest piece about the plan, Ortega said, is encouraging students to get outside of the classroom and create new experiences in the field they choose.

“I think that’s the whole point of the 100 percent engagement piece, to no longer stay within the confines of the classroom,” Ortega said.

Never Settle and the 100 percent engagement plan are still new, and Ortega said a lot of it is still in the planning process, but what has been implemented has been successful so far.

Travel risks not school’s responsibility

BY JULIANNA RENZI The Daily Wildcat

F

our weeks in Guatemala changed my life. I got bed bugs, slept on a wooden bed, carried out my first independent research project, lived with a Guatemalan family and learned how to be self-sufficient. When I came back, I had a new direction, purpose and understanding of the world. When I think back to the most pivotal moment in my education, I think of a small oneroom home on the side of a mountain in San Juan Cotzal, Guatemala.

My story is not unique. A study from Clark University revealed that in over 90 percent of cases, study-abroad programs helped boost students’ selfconfidence, cultural understanding and maturity.

Dieter and Netzin Steklis, who run the UA Primate Studies Field School in Rwanda, said their program is “uniformly transformational for [their] students.” They said part of the power of the Rwanda trip is that it “takes students outside their normal limits of experiences, which makes it a truly memorable educational experience.”

The inherent goal of study abroad is to ease participants into a moderated international experience. Participants travel to a new part of the world and are exposed to different foods, modes of transportation, environmental conditions and social norms. But they also undergo orientation and are given multiple points of contact for support.

They utilize health services on their campus before they leave to prepare for any health risks in their destination, and they register with the U.S. government in case of a political emergency. They are frequently accompanied by trip leaders who provide a higher level of supervision than the average student receives on their home campus.

But even within all of this preparation, programs must leave students with substantial freedom so that they can independently learn, adapt, explore and gain the full benefits of a study-abroad experience.

This freedom comes with a level of responsibility and risk. No program has the ability to isolate its students from all risk, nor would such a program be as beneficial for students in the long term.

A recent court case threatens this delicate balance, however.

In 2007, Cara Munn, a student at the Hotchkiss School, became the first U.S. citizen in history to contract tick-borne encephalitis while on a study abroad trip in China. A federal district court in Connecticut granted her $41.75 million for her loss. Her case is currently before a federal appeals court, and 28 education groups signed an amicus brief last month asking that the lower court’s decision be reversed.

The Hotchkiss School’s loss sets a scary precedent for the future of study abroad. If a program is responsible for every possible accident that every single student has, including completely unprecedented ones, there is little incentive for educators to create challenging study-abroad programs.

Instead, universities will feel pressured to move programs to “safer” regions, cutting off huge swaths of the world, including Guatemala and Rwanda.

“It is impossible to completely protect anyone in any location,” said Christian Sinclair, director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies. But there is a tremendous amount of effort that goes into creating a program that is as safe as possible. Sinclair said, “While organizers “can mitigate risk, … [they] cannot eliminate it.”

After all, there are risks associated with walking along the side of the road, swimming in the ocean and taking a hike through the wilderness. There are certainly risks with doing these things in a foreign country.

The real risk is missing out on the experience of a lifetime for fear of contracting a tick-borne disease on a trip to China when one is far more likely to be struck by lightning.

We should not be placing unrealistic and counterproductive burdens on those who work to facilitate transformative learning experiences for students.

I could have been infected with malaria in the jungle or suffered altitude sickness in the highlands, but the direction and maturity I gained in Guatemala far outweighed those risks.

Rather than pointing fingers of blame for freak accidents, people should be worried about the language skills, selfawareness and global understanding that would be lost in a generation that never leaves the U.S.

In a STEM-heavy world, let’s not forget about humanities

BY CASEY HOYACK The Daily Wildcat

D

ouble majors, triple minors, internships, clubs, organizations, jobs — college students are constantly bombarded with the need to succeed in their postcollegiate lives, and this pressure frequently begins in high school.

Take every Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate class offered, SAT prep, student government, yearbook, varsityathletics and study-abroad program.

All of this pressure is aimed at molding students into a certain kind of person with a certain set of marketable skills. President Barack Obama’s budget for fiscal year 2015 set aside $170 million within the Department of Education to encourage students to choose careers as science, technology, engineering and mathematics professionals or STEM teachers.

Clearly, this is necessary and important. People are needed who are competent in math and computer science, engineering, the hard sciences and other STEM-related fields to conquer

majors. But the real problem is the way the modern culture of frenzy forces people to study certain fields out of fear rather than passion.

People tell themselves that if they don’t study STEM fields, there won’t be any good jobs for them.

In the process, they deprive society of their real talents and deny themselves the opportunity to study the fields that open up their minds to fundamental questions.

It’s time colleges and universities back off the career preparation and remember their obligation to educate the entire person. Even those who love science and feel their hearts skip when working with technology want to be more than a cog in a system. Everyone needs to have a personhood that is separate from their identity as professionals.

As the British writer G.K. Chesterton once wrote, “Without education, we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.” The humanities offer universities the chance to take educating persons, and not merely educated persons, much more seriously.

Sports funding wasteful, a bit sexist

BY ELIZABETH HANNAH The Daily Wildcat

E

ach year, the Office of Postsecondary Education within the U.S. Department of Education releases a public report of the athletic expenditures and revenues for all institutions of higher learning that receive Title IX funding. By providing customized reports specific to individual institutions, the OPE reports underscore the magnitude of what has become a multibillion-dollar industry: collegiate sports.

As a recipient of Title IX funding, the UA submitted an OPE report last year, reporting numbers that, on their face, are shocking.

The UA spent $2,242,892 on men’s basketball in 2013, $140,181 per player.

In contrast, it spent $41,006 per women’s basketball player.

To support a massive roster of 105 players, the UA shelled out a staggering sum of $4,385,601 for football.

What accounts for these huge sums?

“It costs much more to put on football and men’s basketball games than any women’s sport,” said Ross Cobb, senior associate athletic director for business operations. “Women’s

home attendance is significantly lower, so parking costs alone accounts for nearly $800,000 of expenses for men’s basketball and football.”

Furthermore, certain sports are far more expensive than others.

“Football equipment can cost upwards of $1,000 per athlete,” said Erika Barnes, the senior associate athletic director. “Football team travel costs are also huge, simply because no women’s sport has those numbers. It would be extremely difficult to find commercial flights for all those people — it is more reasonable to charter them.”

Plus, as both officials pointed out, the market drives salaries. Men’s basketball head coach Sean Miller’s high pay is justified by the revenue he and his sport bring in.

They also emphasized that schools throughout the Pac-12 Conference, and indeed across the nation, report similar expenses and revenues.

And they’re right.

The University of California, Los Angeles, spent $85,747 per men’s basketball player and $29,295 per football player in 2013. Arizona State University spent $70,986 and $47, 413, respectively. Moving outside the Pac-12, the University of Kentucky devoted an incredible $201,946 per men’s basketball player. In short, most schools spend astronomically more money on men’s basketball and football than

they do on any women’s sport.

The mantra that pervades Division I NCAA sports is “equitable, not equal.” Title IX requires that universities provide males and females “equitable” opportunities for participation in athletics, “equitable” funding that reflects the costs associated with respective sports, “equitable” treatments and benefits.

The law does not require “equal” funding for men’s sports and women’s sports. Such a requirement would be unreasonable, because clearly certain sports are more expensive than others.

Unfortunately, the mantra has been used to justify the outlandish costs associated with men’s basketball and football.

It is important to acknowledge that men’s basketball and football bring in revenue to athletic departments that supports other programs, both men’s and women’s. But when average students are struggling simply to pay for tuition and graduates are entering the work force thousands of dollars in debt, it is both excessive and unjust for any university to spend upwards of $140,000 on any single athlete — man or woman.

Police Beat BY ariella noth

The Daily Wildcat

To ID or not to ID

A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of spirituous liquor and a non-UA affiliate was cited and released for selling alcohol to a minor without demanding identification on Oct. 29.

A University of Arizona Police Department officer was working a plainclothes detail in the area of Jett’s Wildcat looking for a suspicious male. The officer entered Jett’s Wildcat and saw what appeared to be an underage male purchasing a case of Miller Lite beer.

The officer saw the student place the case of beer in his backpack and leave Jett’s Wildcat. Another officer was contacted to see if a consensual stop could be made with the student. The officer followed the student until contact was made with the other officer.

The officers received permission to take the student’s CatCard to confirm that his name was not in the alcohol log book at the store.

The officers returned to the store and asked the clerk if they could check the log book. The student’s name was not listed in it.

The officer requested a copy of the log book for the previous few days, and the clerk gave it to him and denied selling alcohol to anyone that was not logged in the log book.

The student, however, identified the clerk as the person who sold the alcohol to him.

The officer asked the clerk if he was the only person working, to which the clerk replied, “Yes.” He was then cited and released.

Is that a pipe or are you just happy to see me?

A UA student was issued a student diversion for unlawful possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after he was found on the fifth level of the Sixth Street Parking Garage.

A UAPD officer was conducting an area check of the garage when he saw four men looking over a wall on the fifth level.

When the officer drove past them, he saw one man immediately remove items from the wall and place them into the front pocket of his jeans. He then proceeded to lean against the wall.

The officer spoke with the men and could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from the one who had removed the items from the wall. Other officers arrived on the scene and the first officer spoke with that man away separately.

The officer asked him what he was doing standing in a parking space in the garage. The man told the officer he and the other men were hanging out. The officer informed the man that he could smell an odor of marijuana emitting from him and could see the bulge in his pocket from when he removed the items from the wall.

The man removed a multi-colored glass pipe from his right front pocket. He then removed fresh marijuana from his left front pocket and placed both items on the trunk of the officer’s vehicle.

The pipe had fresh marijuana packed in the bowl.

The man said he was holding on to the marijuana and pipe for a friend who uses marijuana medically. The officer explained that marijuana is not allowed on campus.

The man did not want to reveal the name of his friend and exhibited no signs or symptoms of marijuana use. He was diverted to the Dean of Students Office. None of the other men exhibited signs or symptoms of marijuana use.

who has her flesh ripped off by shape-shifting polar bears. Hill said when it comes to college audiences, he tends to pick stories with a bit of an edge.

As a shy kid growing up, Hill said he was always more comfortable performing in front of people.

A course in his last semester of college exposed him to the world of storytelling, and he immediately became hooked.

“We’re such storytelling creatures,” Hill said. “It’s such a natural thing.”

Finding out how to shape tension through rhythms in tone and pitch is essential for effective storytelling, Hill said. Building action through theatrical, sensational gestures keeps the pace of Hill’s stories dynamic.

“You can tell he is so passionate about what he is saying,” Rizzo said about Hill’s storytelling methods.

As a person who relies on his hands more than his words to tell a story, Supalla’s method must employ greater physicality in comparison to Hill’s. Rizzo described Supalla’s storytelling as fully expressing his big personality with grand gestures and facial expressions.

Students can decide for themselves which style of storytelling they prefer, as the two will begin sharing stories at 6 p.m. today.

Europe, like London and Amsterdam. They have designer things that are affordable and so much better quality than what you get from here. I am also Canadian, so I have actually shopped a lot in the States.

If your style was a music genre, what would it be?

My friends here would probably say indie, even though I disagree.

Who or what inspires your style?

Maybe Blake Lively because she always looks so good. Kate Moss, too, because she keeps it simple and super classy.

What would you wear in colder weather?

I’m from Canada so I’m used to it, but jeans, boots, scarves, big jackets and beanies.

Hannah Carter,

pre-business freshman Who or what inspires your style?

I like colors and I like flowers. My friends dress really nice so it kind of helps when you have other people that look cute and you want to look nice for everyone and yourself.

Pop, something fun.

What do you wear when it’s cold out?

Leggings or jeans with boots and a simple shirt, white or cream, with a thick cardigan or leather jacket and a colorful scarf.

My [pajama] pants.

How would you dress up this outfit?

I have a necklace that is the same color as the pink on the dress, so I’d wear the necklace. I have a black blazer that I would wear, and I have, like, pink wedges that go well with it. Also, I would do my hair and makeup better.

Riley Duke,

anthropology junior Where did you get your outfit?

It was a gift for Christmas last year, so I don’t really know.

Describe your outfit in one word.

Casual.

Person of interest in homicide found dead Tribune news service

ORLANDO, Fla. — Orange County detectives were dispatched to Tennessee on Tuesday, where the search for the quadruple amputee considered a person of interest in his parents’ deaths appeared to have come to a bloody end.

Local authorities had been searching for 30-year-old Sean Petrozzino for a week, when they were “notified that a death investigation being conducted by the Memphis Police Department may be connected to the search,” the Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

According to a Memphis police spokeswoman, officers there pulled over a 2012 Toyota Camry about 5:45 p.m. Monday in the city’s Binghampton neighborhood.

As the officers exited their vehicle, they heard a faint “pop” sound.

“When they approached they discovered the driver/lone occupant had an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound,” police Sgt. Karen Rudolph said in the statement. “A pistol was located in the vehicle.”

The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Rudolph said the driver “has not been positively identified at this point,” and authorities have stopped short of confirming Petrozzino’s death in official statements. However, multiple reports by Memphis media outlets identified the deceased as Petrozzino.

Citing sources, Memphis news WMCActionNews5.com, reported that Petrozzino was pulled over for an illegal U-turn and shot himself as officers approached the car.

Petrozzino’s parents, 54-yearold Nancy, an Andover Elementary School teacher, and 63-year-old Michael Petrozzino, who worked for Walt Disney World, were found shot dead Nov. 4 in their east Orange County home.

Michael Petrozzino was shot three times in the abdomen and once in the head, said Dr. Sara Zydowicz of the Orange and Osceola counties medical examiner’s office, who conducted Michael and Nancy Petrozzino’s autopsies.

The shooter likely used a powerful rifle, with bullets Zydowicz said, that fragmented and were “very destructive.”

Two of the bullets that hit Nancy

Sean Petrozzino poses with his mother, Nancy, in 2000 after many surgeries to treat bacterial meningitis. 14 years later, Petrozzino became a person of interest in the fatal shootings of his parents in their east Orange County home before his death.

Petrozzino’s torso came from the front, and one came from her back, Zydowicz said. She said she was not sure which came first.

Obama announces IT deal with China Tribune news service

BEIJING — In a move likely to benefit U.S. information and technology companies, President Barack Obama announced Tuesday that he had reached an “understanding” with China that could eliminate tariffs on global sales of high-tech equipment.

If and when finalized, the tentative deal between Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping would eliminate tariffs on $1 trillion in annual global sales of such items as medical devices, global positioning systems, video

game consoles and other IT equipment.

That total includes $100 billion from the U.S., according to the White House.

Industry groups applauded the understanding while acknowledging it still requires China and the U.S. to follow through on a final agreement that would expand the scope of the Information Technology Agreement, an international pact overseen by the Geneva-based World Trade Organization.

“Once completed, ITA expansion will make history, representing the biggest tariffelimination undertaking achieved by the WTO

All three bullets exited Nancy Petrozzino’s body, so Zydowicz said she could not compare the ammunition to the bullets used

in nearly two decades,” said John Neuffer, senior vice president for global policy at the Information Technology Industry Council. He represents a trade group that includes Google, Facebook, Intel, Microsoft, eBay, HewlettPackard and other U.S. and international companies.

Obama announced the deal on the second of a three-day visit to Beijing as part of the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation summit.

A day prior, he announced an agreement with China to extend visas for both U.S. and Chinese citizens traveling between the two countries. U.S. business groups and the White House said the visa agreement would help expand business links with China and also ease tourism and education exchanges.

“This latest breakthrough, combined with the deal announced the previous day on extending the validity of visas for businesspeople, students and tourists, demonstrates how cooperation can create long-term benefits to

to kill Michael Petrozzino. Their wounds were similar, she said.

Authorities have called their 30-year-old son dangerous and said he has a gun, but stopped short of calling him a suspect. He was believed to have taken his father’s red Toyota Camry. Investigators initially believed he was in South Florida.

Orange County deputies have not said what gun was used to kill the couple. Petrozzino lost his hands and lower legs to bacterial meningitis at age 16. He uses prosthetics to walk, photos on his family’s Facebook pages show.

Jerry L. Saunders, the CEO of ABC Prosthetics and Orthotics in Orlando, explained in a recent interview that amputees have the ability to fire guns, adding Sean Petrozzino was definitely able to do so despite losing his hands.

“There is very little he can’t do functionally,” Saunders said.

“Humans are incredibly [adaptive] creatures. I’ve been doing this 27 years and most upper extremity amputees we fit with either mechanical or electric arms, will use it for four to five years and then they stop using it because they are just as functional with their stumps.”

the business interests of both countries,” said Gregory Gilligan, chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China.

Negotiations remain, however, since talks on the Information Technology Agreement stalled last summer as parties disputed which products would be included in an expanded deal.

Although the deal was announced with fanfare Tuesday, it likely was brokered in advance of the APEC summit, which officially concluded on Tuesday in Beijing.

Several other pacts were announced in recent days, including trade pacts between China and South Korea and China and Australia, and a gas deal between China and Russia. On Monday, regulators approved a plan to link stock exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai, opening Chinese markets more to foreign investors. China also announced a $40 billion fund to improve trade links between Asian economies.

PAC-12 POWER RANKINGS WEEK 11

Championship game scenarios emerge this week

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

North 1. No. 3 Oregon (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12 Conference) As the Ducks keep winning, they move up the rankings toward the No. 2 national slot they lost when they fell to Arizona. As expected, Oregon clinched the North championship.

Last week: First, W at Utah 51-27 This week: Saturday, bye 2. Stanford (5-4, 3-3) Since the No. 2 slot can’t be left blank, the Cardinal moves back up to second. It didn’t lose last week, but much of that has to do with it not playing.

Last week: Third, bye This week: Saturday vs. No. 25 Utah (6-3, 3-3) 3. Washington (6-4, 2-4) The Huskies lost to a resurgent UCLA squad last week. Washington has lost four of its last six games since opening the season 4-0 , though those four wins came against Hawaii, Eastern Washington, Illinois and Georgia State.

Last week: Second, L vs. UCLA 44-30 This week: Saturday at No. 17 Arizona (7-2, 4-2) 4. California (5-4, 3-4) Like Stanford, the Golden Bears had a good week, for a Pac-12 North team. They had a bye, so they didn’t lose.

Last week: fourth, bye This week: Thursday at USC (6-3, 5-2) 5. Washington State (3-7, 2-5) Given up for dead a week ago when their best player broke his leg, the Cougars escaped the Pac-12 North cellar by embarrassing Oregon State. Redshirt freshman quarterback Luke Falk won Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors. Connor Halliday who?

Last week: Sixth, W at Oregon State 39-32 This week: Bye 6. Oregon State (4-5, 1-5) Things are so bad in Corvallis, Ore., that just four years after head coach Mike Riley got what some consider a lifetime contract, Beaver fans want him out. Riley’s contract currently runs through 2021 and he gets another year added every time he wins six regular season games or better and goes to a bowl game. Nice work, if you can get it.

Last week: Fifth, L vs. Washington State 3932 This week: Saturday vs. No. 7 ASU(8-1,5-1)

South 1. No. 7 ASU (8-1, 5-1) Now that we’re mercifully done with the North, it’s time to talk about the South. If ASU wins out, then it wins the South and likely a spot in the playoff.

Last week: first, W vs. Notre Dame 55-31 This week: Saturday at Oregon State (4-5, 1-5) 2. No. 14 UCLA (8-2, 5-2) After failing to impress much of the season, the Bruins find themselves in prime position to return to the Pac-12 championship game. If ASU loses and UCLA wins out, the Bruins win the South thanks to their 62-27 pasting of the Sun Devils.

Last week: Third, W at Washington 44-30 This week: Bye 3. No. 17 Arizona (7-2, 4-2) The Wildcats probably won’t win the South — they need to win out and see UCLA lose — but if they keep winning, they’ll get to a better bowl destination than New Mexico and Northern Louisiana. The Wildcats have only lost to the Los Angeles schools.

Last week: Third, W vs. Colorado 38-20 This week: Saturday vs. Washington (6-4, 2-4) 4. USC (6-3, 5-2) The Trojans need a lot of help to get to the Pac12 Championship game. USC needs to win out and hope ASU loses twice. The Sun Devils get to play WSU and OSU besides Arizona, so that’s not happening.

Last week: Fourth, bye This week: Thursday vs. California (5-4, 3-4) 5. No. 25 Utah (6-3, 3-3) The Utes had a nice run, but with three losses, including one to ASU, they’re pretty much out of the South championship race. They should make their first bowl game since 2011, though.

Last week: fifth, L vs. Oregon 51-27 This week: Saturday at Stanford (5-4, 3-3) 6. Colorado (2-8, 0-7) Fun fact: the Buffaloes have more active losing streaks (five) than Pac-12 wins all-time (four). Colorado’s lost 23 in a row on the road to ranked teams, 18 in a row to ranked teams overall, 10 straight Pac-12 games, 11 straight road Pac-12 games and six games in a row overall.

Last week: Sixth, L at Arizona 38-20 This week: Bye

ARIZONA GUARD KEYAHNDRA CANNON (15) shoots a jump shot during the first half of Arizona’s 76-55 win against Concordia in McKale Center on Tuesday. Women’s basketball will kick off its regular season next week against CSU Bakersfield on Monday.

WHOOPS

FROM PAGE 12

Niya Butts said. “We had some people step off the bench and do some good things.

There were some positives to this game, but probably the most important is just getting game action in McKale.”

James, playing her first game since an ACL injury last season, immediately provided a spark off the bench, with a bucket on one end and a forced turnover on the other. The forward finished with eight rebounds and a team-high three blocks.

“I’ve been waiting a long time for this one game,” James said. “My first thought was to just play hard and whatever happens, happens. Today, I kind of put everything together and my hard work paid off.”

Arizona started the game with an 11-0 run and never looked back, expanding the lead to as much as 17 points in the first half.

The Wildcats shot 38.8 percent from the field and out-rebounded Concordia 53-32.

However, Butts was far less concerned with the final outcome than her team’s play, which was sloppy at times. Arizona committed 18 turnovers to 11 assists, including four each from Warthen and Jones.

“Unfortunately, as coaches, we want

everything to go perfect,” Butts said. “Today, I thought we were miles away from that.

We don’t want that to be the case. We want to step on the floor every night and give energy, and I don’t think we did that for long periods of this game.”

Arizona struggled to pull away from Concordia for much of the game, missing rebounds and making poor decisions on offense. While the second-half lead never shrank below double digits, the Wildcats didn’t put the game out of reach until about eight minutes to go.

“Our lack of ball pressure was aggravating,” Butts said. “We weren’t very aggressive. Our position defense wasn’t very good, our help-side defense was lacking. In [some] cases, we let them off the hook. A lot of times, we had opportunities to come with loose balls defensively that we just did not come with it.”

On offense, Arizona attacked the paint consistently and earned 21 points from the charity stripe. The Wildcats also capitalized off of 21 second-chance points, compared to just seven by Concordia.

Hockey holds Teddy Bear Toss

BY ZOE WOLKOWITZ The Daily Wildcat

Usually in the sports world, throwing any item, drink or food onto a field of play results in getting tossed out of the game. However, Arizona hockey invites its fans to break that rule this weekend.

On Friday night, the Wildcats will host their third annual “Teddy Bear Toss,” presented by Nova Home Loans in the Tucson Convention Center when Arizona faces NAU. During this game, fans are invited to toss unwrapped teddy bears or stuffed animals onto the ice after the Wildcats’ score their first goal. The bears will then be collected and donated to Toys for Tots Foundation for use as holiday gifts.

“We are very excited for the teddy bear game Friday night against NAU,” Arizona hockey head coach Chad Berman said. “What a great way for the fans to get involved by not only cheering for the team, but also by throwing teddy bears that will be donated to children throughout Tucson. I think it’s another great way for everyone in the UA hockey community to all come together for a great cause.”

Three weeks of home games into the season, Wildcat hockey fans have brought in smaller crowds than usual. However, Arizona hockey players believe that with this charity event paired with an in-state Arizona rivalry hockey game, fans will fill up the newly renovated Tucson Convention Center.

“I definitely am looking forward to the energy from the fans,” forward Alex

UA HOCKEY FANS FINISH throwing teddy bears at the end of Arizona’s 0-3 loss against Iowa State at the Tucson Convention Center last season. Fans will be invited on Friday to toss unwrapped teddy bears, which will be donated to the Toys for Tots Foundation and used as holiday gifts, onto the ice after Arizona’s first goal during its game against NAU.

Nespor said. “It’s awesome being able to support a great cause with the help from a bigger crowd.”

Arizona captain Shane Gleason reflected on his favorite moment during the Teddy Bear Toss game.

“My sophomore year was the first year we did the Teddy Bear Toss here, and I was out on the ice when Andrew Murmes scored the first goal a couple minutes into the first period that game,” Gleason said. “Being out on the ice when all those teddies rain down is a pretty exciting feeling, and it shows how much our fans truly

However, don’t count out the other 26 Wildcat hockey players. Every player on Arizona has tallied up at least one point so far during the season. Mike Adamowicz, Gleason and Kyle Griffin all have six points each. With four to five points each are

Leading Arizona in points is Nespor with 10, Alex O’Dea with nine and Robbie Wilkinson with seven.

“If O’Dea is cleared to play this weekend, I think he will be the first one to score,” UA forward Griffin Dyne said.

“He is one of our leading scorers, but he also possesses great hands, speed and has an outstanding ability to read the play on the ice.”

This will be the second time Arizona faces NAU this season. During their 201415 season opening game, the Wildcats defeated the

Arizona soccer made the NCAA tournament on Monday for the third time in the program’s 20-year history. After the Wildcats went 6-11-3 in 2012 and 1-16-2 in 2011, they are 10-7-2 in head coach Tony Amato’s second year, and in the Big Dance.

Arizona football beat Colorado 38-20 on Saturday to secure the Wildcats’ third straight seven-win season. UA head coach Rich Rodriguez improved his record at Arizona to 23-12 in those three seasons and 12-12 in the Pac-12 Conference.

Over the weekend, Arizona volleyball swept California and almost beat No. 1 Stanford on the road, losing 3-2 against the Cardinal. Senior outside hitter Madi Kingdon had 25 kills and a career-high 30 digs. The Wildcats had 106 digs against Stanford, the seventh-most digs in school history.

Arizona hockey swept Michigan State over the weekend, winning 4-2 and 5-2.

The Wildcats have now won three in a row after losing six in a row.

The Chicago Bears lost 55-14 to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night and their fans embarrassed themselves afterwards. Bears fans tweeted rape threats and homophobic slurs at Chloe Trestman, the daughter of Chicago head coach Marc Trestman, after the loss.

According to News & Observer of Raleigh, N.C., North Carolina men’s basketball players took 35 bogus classes in 2004-05, a year where they won the national championship. The “paper classes” featured independent studies classes without professors and lecture classes that didn’t meet.

On Saturday, Florida defensive tackle Leon Orr left the Gators’ game on a bus after learning he wouldn’t start.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith will pay to play in the NFL this season after serving a nine-game suspension. Smith’s salary this season is $1.09 million and $525,000 after taxes, but he owes $661,000 to the 49ers after forfeiting his signing bonus.

Women’s basketball opens with 76-55 win

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

The Arizona women’s basketball team defeated Concordia University Irvine 76-55 in an exhibition Tuesday behind 38 points from the bench.

A revamped roster featuring seven newcomers allowed Arizona to make up for a poor shooting night from redshirt senior point guard Candice Warthen. The Wildcats’ other senior, Alli Gloyd, sat out much of the game due to foul trouble.

“When one player goes down and it’s a key player, your other teammates have to step up,” Warthen said.

“That was important for us today.”

Sophomore LaBrittney Jones was the leading scorer with 14 points, while freshman Charise Holloway provided 13 points off the bench in part to three makes from outside. Sophomore Breanna Workman and redshirt freshman Dejza James also finished in double digits.

“Our bench was productive,” Arizona head coach

guiltily listen to Britney Spears sometimes.”

Ingram said his favorite song to dance to is “Turn Down for What” by DJ Snake and Lil John, a favorite in McKale Center. The band looks to him not only as its leader, but also as the lead dancer.

“He is a senior, and he has done a great job of encouraging the students around him to be as energetic, excited and willing to do what it takes,” said Alli Howard, interim director of Athletic Bands. “When he misses games, it’s noticeable, but after a few minutes, the other students step up.”

McKale Center has had its fan celebrities over the years, including the super-fan Grandma Phyllis and the Ooh Ahh Man. But Ingram is one of the first students to gain attention in the Tucson community, even being called the “King of McKale.”

“He is definitely willing to do whatever it takes to get the crowd into the game,” Howard

said. “I love that his moves are so completely over the top and he is just cool with being ‘that guy’ on TV. The crowd loves that. So does the rest of the band.”

Ingram has had quite the ride in the Arizona band, even once winning a $50 gift certificate for his dance moves in Las Vegas and appearing on Vines and YouTube

videos. The band is already preparing its dance moves for March Madness 2015, which will be Ingram’s final moments at the school he has been so heralded at.

“I’m just excited for the journey and hopefully we will make it all the way to Indianapolis,” Ingram said. “The farthest I have ever been was the Elite Eight, so I’m just hoping that the team makes it to the Final Four.”

During the exhibition game against Cal Poly Pomona, Ingram was absent because he had to be at work. Ingram will be attending every game for the rest of the season, however.

With Ingram graduating at the end of this year, he said he hopes the Pep Band will be able to find someone to replace him, but he is not so confident.

“I don’t know if there is going to be another Jordan Ingram honestly,” Ingram said. “That’s going to be a real tough find.”
