Regents look toward 2020

Fee advisory board hosts open forum WHAT: Student Services Fee Advisory Board Open Forum WHEN: Today, 5 p.m. – 6 p.m. WHERE: Old Main Presentation Room WHO: Open to the public

The Student Services Fee Advisory Board — the student-composed body charged with advising the distribution of the $40 per semester student services fee — will meet today in a public forum designed to give the university community a chance to learn how the fee has been be distributed. The board had several closed-door meetings this semester and will use today’s meeting to inform the public on its decision-making process, advisory board chair Matthew Totlis, a mathematics senior, said. “If I have to pay fees, I would like to know where that money is going,” he said. The board works closely with and advises Vice President for Student Affairs Melissa Vito, who ultimately makes distribution decisions. It considers requests for the fee from any individual or department who enters an official working partnership with a department in Student Affairs, such as Campus Health Services, the Associated Students of the University of Arizona or Arizona Student Media. “It’s only right that we stay open to students,” Totlis said. — Tim McDonnell

President Robert Shelton listens to comments from members of the Arizona Board of Regents about the future of higher education in Arizona during Thursday’s board meeting in the Student Union Memorial Center. The UA’s “2020 Vision” sets goals for the university to achieve by the year 2020.

next 11 years.” In 2008, the Arizona university system produced approximately 20,000 bachelor degrees. The 2020 Vision calls for a 42 percent increase by 2020, which would amount to an annual production of over 28,000 bachelor degrees. The UA will need to produce 8,100 more degrees annually by 2020, an increase of 44 percent. While funding over the past several years has stayed relatively similar — FY 2010 saw $16,190 per student compared to $16,195 in FY 2008 — the sources of funding for the university system have changed dramatically. Woodley said due to the temporary nature of the stimulus funds, the state is paying a much smaller share and the students a much greater one in terms of university funding. In 2008, the universities had about a billion dollars in state appropriations. Due to significant decrease over the

past few years, the university system plans to increase tuition revenue to approximately $1 billion by 2012. The backbone of the proposed 2020 Vision will be a new system architecture that will utilize various low-cost options for students to earn a bachelor’s degree from a public university in Arizona. Currently, the average total cost for a full-time student is $16,190 per year. When fully implemented, the lower cost degree options will amount to approximately $9,000, 43 percent less expensive, said Woodley. According to the plan, over the next 10 years the UA will utilize existing relationships with community colleges, develop new online programs and develop community-based institutions that will grant degrees based on regional needs.

Museums suffer from budget cuts By Jennifer Koehmstedt Arizona Daily Wildcat Some effects of budget cuts to the university, like reduced staff or course offerings, are hard to see. Others, however, are on display. Not only have UA museums had to cut staff, cut hours and charge entrance fees because of recent budget cuts, but now they must also be more selective in choosing what to put on exhibit, a museum official said. Charles Guerin, the director of the UA Museum of Art, said budget cuts are an ongoing issue for the museum, but have recently become more significant, forcing the museum to make critical changes. Along with cutting staff and charging a new $5 entrance fee for community members, the museum is now cutting down the amount of work on display, Guerin said. “We’ve had to approach the exhibition programming that we do in a very different way, forcing us to focus primarily on things that are still of high quality but are much more reasonable for us,” Guerin said. The Museum of Art has cut the number of exhibitions it shows by 20 percent, Guerin said. Guerin said budget cuts have also affected the range of work that the

museum is able to display. “We’re not bringing in artists from other countries, so we’re limiting the scope of what we’re able to bring in, but we feel that the quality is as high as it’s always been,”he said. Working on a low budget isn’t new for the smaller museums on campus, such as the History of Pharmacy Museum, located in the College of Pharmacy building. “The good news and bad news is that we have never had any funding,” said Richard Wiedhopf, curator for the museum. Wiedhopf, also the assistant dean for finance and administration for the College of Pharmacy, explained that because the pharmacy museum does not receive any funding from the university, it has not had to deal with the university’s budget cuts. Still, the museum suffers financially. “We are budget-cut-free, but have substantial material to display for which we need sizable amounts of money,” he said. The museum operates on funds from a donor to the museum, but mostly on Wiedhopf’s and pharmacy students’ volunteered time, he said. Wiedhopf said he does not anticipate receiving funds from the university, but hopes for more funding in order to put more of the museum’s

collection on display. “We also have thousands of items that are not on display that are in storage,” he said. “It will just have to wait until times are better.” Guerin said that though the museum has had to make changes to its exhibitions, they have tried to think about student needs when cutting the budget.

“We’ve tried very much for (students) not to be affected,” he said. “We feel that the museum is here primarily for their enlightenment and their educational efforts, so we have done our best to make certain that the budget cuts we have encountered do not affect the students’ immediate experience when they come to the museum.”

3 new programs aid teens in need By Michelle Monroe Arizona Daily Wildcat The Southwest Institute for Research on Women at the UA is forming three pilot programs to help adolescents in need in southern Arizona — iTeam, Recover2gether and Step Forward. The iTeam program specifically targets gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual young adults between 15 and 23 years old. “iTeam is looking at trying to provide a lot of different services for GLTB adolescents and young adults in the community,” said Sally Stevens, director of the Southwest Institute for Research on Women and iTeam lead investigator. “Services like housing, case management, life skills, substance abuse and mental health and HIV prevention and testing.” The program will help participants find employment and health care and make sure they have a staff available to help them get what they need. Wingspan, a non-profit organization, will be doing the majority of the outreach for iTeam. “They have a network of people who are involved in the community and can help identify youth in need,” Stevens said. Individuals who are already participating will also recruit new participants via word of mouth. UA students are welcome to participate if they meet the criteria. “The process really is to call or e-mail Wingspan, then the staff at Wingspan will ask different questions and see if this is a good fit with that individual,” Stevens said. “If not, we’ll refer them to other services that might be more appropriate.” If a person needs housing or substance abuse or mental health treatment, or if they want to learn about HIV or gain life skills, they will be invited into the program. The program is funded by a federal grant, and the UA and about 15 other

Apparently David Hasselhoff just got tanked and passed out or something and had to be admitted to a hospital. What are your thoughts on that? Well, that kind of stuff happens to the best of us. But I guess he’s had problems abusing alcohol, don’t you think he should have learned from his past troubles? Uh, well sometimes you have to drink your sorrows away. All right then. I guess his ex-wife got her second DUI of the year recently too, did you hear about that? Uh, no I didn’t. Apparently she blew a 0.14 on the breathalyzer. That’s something to be proud of.

UNITED NATIONS — Pop star Stevie Wonder had a hotter debut Thursday as a U.N. peace envoy than he expected. The singer-songwriter was in the middle of his acceptance speech as a prestigious Messenger of Peace and advocate for the world’s Stevie Wonder estimated 650 million people with disabilities when a fire alarm went off in the basement conference room at U.N. headquarters. After six long alarm blasts, Wonder cracked: “I’m trying to figure out a new melody!” U.N. security officials ordered an evacuation of the three basement levels of the 39-story building, but a U.N. official said soon after that the program could continue. “I didn’t realize that what I was gonna say was gonna create so much heat!” Wonder quipped as he resumed his speech. Less than a minute later, however, U.N. security officials interrupted and ordered Wonder, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice and more than 100 others in the conference room to leave. Since only the three basement levels were affected, the three VIPs were taken upstairs to a previously scheduled press conference on Wonder’s new U.N. role. The rest of the audience was taken outside the building, but they returned about 15 minutes later when the all-clear was given. U.N. deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said the alarm was triggered by smoke from construction work in the second basement level. “There was no damage reported and no fire,” she said. Ban chose the International Day of Persons with Disabilities to introduce Wonder, who has won 25 Grammy Awards, as the 11th U.N. Messenger of Peace. He joins a list of notable figures — including Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, actor Michael Douglas, primate expert Jane Goodall and conductor Daniel Barenboim — who use their prominent positions to promote the U.N. and help the less fortunate. The secretary-general said he selected Wonder to be a peace envoy focusing on the disabled not just because he is a global musical star but because “he is a great humanitarian and activist.” Ban cited Wonder’s campaigns against apartheid in South Africa and hunger in Ethiopia, his benefit concerts for children and families in need, and his long years of work on behalf of the disabled. — The Associated Press

CORRECTIONS The Dec. 1 story “Genome project traces human history” misused the word “genome” in the headline, as The Genographic Project does not deal with genomes. The story also erroneously referred to the “Anderson” sequence as the reference for sample DNA. The reference sequence used is actually the Cambridge reference sequence (CRS). On Dec. 2, the Wildcat erroneously stated in an opinions column that Cengage Learning, a textbook publisher, offers their books at 40 to 70 percent off the sales price. In fact, Cengage Learning’s rental prices are 40 to 70 percent less than the sales price. The Daily Wildcat regrets these errors.

Zona Zoo road trips to SoCal By Shannon Maule Arizona Daily Wildcat Zona Zoo will be loading up onto buses for the second road trip of the year this weekend, so students can attend the UA football game against University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Last week, UA students traveled to Tempe, Ariz., to a watch the Wildcats defeat the Arizona State University Sun Devils, and this weekend 100 registered students will make the trip to California to cheer on the Wildcats. Although students were able to purchase their tickets through the Zona Zoo Crew for last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, they were not provided transportation. Not only do students get to watch the game, but they also will be provided with many other items during the trip, organizers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each student paid $60 for the price of the ticket and Zona Zoo covered all other costs,â&#x20AC;?said Luke De Vogelaere, media and

Students have also been told they cannot leave the bus once they have gotten on. The road trip will have two chaperones from the Dean of Students Office, Searby said, to ensure that students follow the rules. The purpose of the road trip is to cheer on the athletes, but also to give students the opportunity to see other schools, other stadiums and the size of the students sections at other universities, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Road trips are positive experiences. We want there to be a mini Zona Zoo section wherever they (the athletes) go,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, students get to see how small other student sections really are.â&#x20AC;? Zona Zoo members said they plan to continue the road trip tradition, which dates back to 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The next one will be in January for the UA vs. ASU basketball game,â&#x20AC;? Searby said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and tickets will go on sale sometime after we get back from break.â&#x20AC;?

New programs to include sexual health education

schools were chosen from over 300 applications. Enrollment for the program will begin in January, so that the organization can finalize the sub-contracts with contributing organizations. Collaborators include Wingspan, CODAC Behavioral Health, Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation, Our Family and Open Inn, Stevens said. The grant lasts five years, during which UA researchers will be constantly analyzing the evaluation process. After five years there will be a national evaluation component with the other participating organizations. Recover2gether is a program that tests and analyzes the effectiveness of three different recovery programs for substance abuse in young adults; telephone check-ins, a recovery-oriented social networking site and family-based intervention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be recruiting kids from residential substance abuse treatments programs here in southern Arizona, organized by Arizona Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association,â&#x20AC;? said Bridget Ruiz,

communications director for Zona Zoo and a pre-business sophomore. Along with the ticket itself, students will receive transportation by bus, a T-shirt made specifically for the road trip and snacks while driving to the game and back, he said. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;road trippersâ&#x20AC;? will meet outside of McKale Center at 1 a.m. on Saturday. Before a student could purchase a ticket to this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, they had to sign a liability form, said Christina Searby, a math senior and programming director of Zona Zoo Crew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students could choose to take the bus or provide their own transportation, and those who chose the bus option had to sign a liability form saying that they would adhere to all university policies, that they must meet at the specified times or else they will not get on the bus, and that university is not responsible for any injuries or accidents that may occur on the bus,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The team hopes to get 50 subjects, between 13 and 17 years old, who will participate in the yearlong program. After one year, participants will fill out an evaluation that will be compared to the other three sites, Illinois, Massachusetts and Oregon, Ruiz said. Recover2gether is looking for volunteers who have an interest in providing telephone recovery check-ins with young people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be having, each week, volunteers contacting youth via telephone, seeing how things are going and if they need any resources, those kinds of things,â&#x20AC;? Ruiz said. The final program being introduced is Step Forward, to help adolescents who have a criminal history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re teaching sexual health curriculum to adolescents, mostly to those involved in the criminal justice system,â&#x20AC;? said Claudia Powell. A probation officer will refer individuals between 12 and 17 years old to Step Forward.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an eight session comprehensive curriculum that talks about anything from HIV and STI prevention to healthy relationships to puberty and adolescent development,â&#x20AC;? Powell said. Each of the three collaborating organizations, the UA, SAAF and CODAC Behavioral Health, will have one health educator to teach the participants. This program will run for five years.

By the numbers:

Southwest Institute for Research on Women Total grant money over 5 years: $2,650,000 Step forward: $140,000 per year for 5 years Recover2gether: $155,000 for 13 month program iTeam: $350,000 per year for 5 years

Motion to move up tuition hearing fails

the strategic planning over the next 11 years will be concentrated in the lower cost programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By 2020, 75 percent of our enrollment growth will come from new systems architecture,â&#x20AC;? said Regent Robert Bulla. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is absolutely critical that the plan is implemented because I am not sure what we will be doing if it is not.â&#x20AC;? Bulla proposed moving the tuition hearing from March to January in order to address pending budgetary concerns sooner rather than later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been concerned for a long time that the crisis coming in the state is far greater than we understand,â&#x20AC;? Bulla said. Despite claims that increasing tuition is similar to increasing taxes, Bulla maintained that a possible tuition increase is not a tax but rather an investment with a return. In addition, Bulla said that regardless of whether or not

the hearing is in January or March, the need to maintain the quality of higher education has to be addressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To educate, you are going to have to look at tuition levels that will exceed $10,000 by 2012,â&#x20AC;? Bulla said. Regent LuAnn Leonard and several other regents disagreed with Bullaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed plan to move the tuition hearing forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students are our customers and if we change the timeline when they are leaving and do not give them enough time for feedback, I think it would be seen as being non-transparent,â&#x20AC;? Leonard said. While the vote to move the tuition hearing forward failed 3-6, Bullaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns that the university system will not have adequate funding in order to maintain a high level of quality was echoed by many members of the board and

Council of Presidents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Two thousand dollars (per student) in cuts already made, a $600 12-month surcharge, a temporary federal stimulus package, all which will expire and additional cuts are probable,â&#x20AC;? said ASU president Michael Crow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a precarious position for which timing is the means by which you win or lose.â&#x20AC;? Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting ended with Regent Anne Mariucci voicing her discontent with submitting a five-year fiscal plan to the Arizona State Legislature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these techniques and tools to put political pressure on people and then we are going to turn in some strategic plans that have absolutely no bearing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never understood it. Make a statement that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepare a strategic plan, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t submit it.â&#x20AC;?

T MAILBAG UA community properly handled World Aids Week

After walking around the UA campus on Dec. 1, 2009 I noticed other students like myself talking about AIDS and how we as Americans can prevent it. When I got back to my dorm room I logged onto the Daily Wildcat and found the article,“‘World AIDS Week’ kicks off today.”After reading through the article, I became very interested in learning more about AIDS and how the disease can be prevented. I think all students on any college campus should be aware of the risks of getting HIV through sexual intercourse. “Every nine and a half minutes someone in the United States is affected with HIV.” That means that someone in every one of UA’s classes on campus possibly lives with the disease every day. I am proud to say that I go to a university that is so involved with getting students aware about such a prominent disease. This year the University of Arizona has made it a much bigger deal and has decorated the campus with paintings, black plastic bags and posters demonstrating the facts of AIDS and HIV. AIDS can affect everyone and there are certain precautions that can be taken to prevent it. Become aware in your community; don’t let AIDS take control of your life. Kelsey Doody

Cheers to column on global warming hype

I am a fifth year senior here at the UA and about to graduate in December. I thought I would pick up the Daily Wildcat and read it one more time before I have hectic finals week and then move back home. I came across the article “When Hell Freezes Over,” not quite sure what it was about, but decided to start reading it. Afterwards I was pleasantly surprised and so glad I did. Everywhere you turn, every class you are in, and every commercial on television now either discusses “global warming”, “climate change”,“carbon footprints” or “going green.” I can’t stand listening to it anymore, and I usually have to get up and walk away. I feel the way Daniel Greenberg does, in that it is so overused and pushed on us constantly that I don’t even want anything to do with it anymore (aside from the fact that is nothing but lies and political propaganda started by that wonderful man by the name of Al Gore). It was just so refreshing to hear somebody else that was finally saying exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for putting the truth in our paper, and I just hope it reaches a lot of students and opens their eyes, maybe, to the political lies and games behind the movement. It truly is just another way the government is trying to take away more of our freedoms. I for one, know that I will never be forced to turn in my car for a Prius.

The article written in yesterday’s issue of the Wildcat, titled “Club Raises Awareness for Disaffected Children in Tanzania” about Support For International Change (SIC) was completely misleading, due to the fact that two different clubs were actually being represented. SIC’s primary focus is not specifically on children; as a 501(3)

non-governmental organization, SIC was established in Northern Tanzania to limit the impact of HIV/AIDS in rural, underserved communities, where access to information on HIV/AIDS is very limited. Each year the organization selects students from the UA to travel to Tanzania, where they help lead an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign by teaching in these rural communities. More information can be found at www.sichange.org. SIC will be holding an informational session Monday, Dec. 7 at 4 p.m. in the Tubac room of the Student Union for anyone interested in volunteering for Summer 2010 programs. The picture of the street kids and the work being done for them described in the article (taking children to health clinics, teaching English, reading and writing) is completely unrelated to SIC. The club associated with helping these children (“while the club focused on Africa this semester, its goal is to work in a different region every semester”) is the recognized club on campus, AID (Americans for Informed Democracy), whose president, Ivvette Rios, happens to be a former SIC volunteer. While volunteering in Tanzania for SIC, Ivvette and others met these street kids, and since returning to UA have put AID’s focus on raising funds for these children. It is important to note, however, that her work with these children was outside of SIC work. Lastly, the club information session advertised at the bottom of the article is not for SIC, but for AID — the event is a fundraiser for these children, who need a great deal of support, so please come!

UNLV loss is not the end of the road for Wildcats

The game Wednesday night was another heartbreaking loss for Wildcat fans, but it was a hard-fought battle against a top-25 UNLV, so the fans shouldn’t be ashamed of the Wildcats’ efforts. We as fans have to be patient with this team, and not jump to the normal conclusions of“oh, we suck”or“these guys aren’t even worth watching.” The team is so young, with only two upperclassmen, Horne and Wise, playing significant minutes, that there’s still a huge learning curve. If you watch head coach Sean Miller on the sideline, you can see him coaching the younger guys at every single timeout, and during every single possession. Derrick Williams is already an absolute beast and fan favorite, and he’s only going to get better, which is scary for Pac-10 opponents. Basically this team will go as far as Nic Wise can take them. If he struggles with the outside shot as he did Wednesday night, which shouldn’t happen too often, then we’re going to be hard pressed to win a game. I was impressed with the crowd Wednesday night, and it seemed like the student section got louder as the second half and overtimes progressed. Yes, it was an extremely disappointing loss, but it’s still a good learning experience against a good team, and with more experience, these guys will be able to pull out these close games at the end. I have full confidence that by the second half of the season Miller will have the team prepared to make a run in the Pac-10 conference. Rick Redmond

Wetter is better

njoy it while you are in college because once you graduate, it’s called alcoholism.” This is the saying that a great majority of college students tend to live by. Parents fear sending their children off to college for this very reason. A student at the University of Michigan died after attempting to take 21 shots for his 21st birthday — a common ritual regardless of whether alcohol is banned on campus. According to collegedrinkingprevention.gov, it is averaged that nearly 1,700 students between the ages 18 and 24 die and 500,000 students are injured each year from alcohol related incidents.You have to wonder if these numbers would drop if students were staying on campus to get their alcohol fix rather than going off campus and driving drunk. Having a wet campus would keep many more students on or around campus boundaries and safer from the horrors of drunk driving and other alcohol-related tragedies.

I lived in Coronado Residence Hall last year and at the infamous check-in a student, who claimed to be 21, tried bringing in a case of beer but quickly got it taken away. I couldn’t help but wonder why Arizona is so adamant about keeping alcohol off campus. My mom used to always say,“I’d rather you break the rules under my supervision than get into trouble somewhere else along the way.”Allowing alcohol in the dorms would almost be the same idea. It is a much safer situation for the person drinking to celebrate in their current living situation rather than celebrating at a location that is a significant distance away. A new“wet”dorm policy at Avila University allows students who are 21 to apply for the abilities of a wet dorm. The application process consists of taking an Alcohol 101 course and writing a paper on what they learned from the course. Not only does this process allow the university to monitor who is drinking in the dorms but it

also brings in a significant amount of revenue by collecting fees from the mandatory class. If a wet dorm can bring in so much money, then imagine the possibilities of a wet campus altogether. Arizona students, faculty, alumni and fans support our university’s football team in such an immense way it is obvious that everything being sold at the home games is a cash cow. If the vendors at the home games were to serve alcoholic beverages then there would be a huge increase in profit for the university. This advance in increasing the university’s profit could be extended further by adding a universitysponsored bar, which would be a great outlet for the University of Arizona’s most loyal fans to have a safe and familiar place to celebrate their school spirit on campus. — Guest columnist Justine Dubs is a pre-communications sophomore.

his afternoon, at the re-sentencing hearing of Claremont School of Theology graduate student (and UA alumnus) Walt Staton, the government of the United States will face a critical choice: to criminalize humanitarian aid work, or to condone and support it. A year ago today, under collaboration with the Border Patrol, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cited Staton for “littering” after he had left jugs full of fresh, clean drinking water on the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge intended to assist endangered migrants crossing some of the most treacherous and isolated parts of the Sonoran Desert, where the bodies of 208 people have been recovered over the past year. After being led through a criminal trial this past June, Staton, then an aid worker for local humanitarian organization No More Deaths, was convicted of “knowingly littering.” Immediately after the sentencing in August (which commanded a fine, one-year banishment from the wildlife refuge and 300 state service hours) his defense stated on KVOA news that they will appeal the decision because they don’t believe Walt’s actions to be criminal, arguing that both the conviction and punishment are unjust. Today, in a re-sentencing of his conviction, Walt again faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. Among numerous international legal reports confirming the injustice of the decision, the 2008 Annual Report of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants concluded that “the United States lacks a clear, consistent, long-term strategy to improve respect for the human rights of migrants” and “has failed to adhere to its international obligations to make the human rights of the 37.5 million migrants living in the country a national priority.” The Constitution of the United States guarantees these obligations signed by the United States to be the “supreme law of the land.” Doing his part, Walt acted to fulfill the undeniable gap between the binding promise of international obligations on the part of the United States to protect the life and liberty of migrants and the dreadful reality of mass migrant deaths in the American borderlands. But a hat must be tipped to the U.S. government for their honesty, at the very least. After all, we know their policy objectives and intentions, stated very clearly in their own words. A May 13, 2008 Congressional Research Service report reviews, very comprehensively, the history of governmental policy in the region since the early 1990s. The report, entitled “Border Security: Barriers Along the U.S. International Border,” explicitly outlines the government’s overall “deterrence strategy” of “rerouting” anticipated human migration “away from urban areas toward geographically isolated areas” in order to establish a “tactical advantage” over these human beings. In other words, rather than adhere to international law, U.S. border policy literally forces mass amounts of human beings to brave treacherously deadly, “geographically isolated areas,” which, “by design and default,” lead directly to “at least one death every day of a migrant crossing the border,” quoting an Oct. 21 report by the American Civil Liberties Union entitled “Humanitarian Crisis: Migrant Deaths at the U.S.-Mexico Border.” One of these pernicious and “geographically isolated areas” for migrants is the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge, where Walt’s constituent group, No More Deaths, and others, continue to focus their efforts of humanitarian aid. In keeping with his promise to contest the decision, in a letter dated Nov. 2 and addressed to the federal magistrate who sentenced him, Jennifer Guerin, Walt expressed that he “invite(s) the court to re-consider its sentence in light of the undeniable humanitarian crisis unfolding along the U.S.-Mexico border.” But those who perhaps would like to see Mr. Staton shuttered away behind prison bars persist. In a court memo dated Nov. 23 from U.S. District Attorney Dennis K. Burke and Assistant Attorney Lawrence C. Lee, the prosecution argues that Walt is simply “defiant of the court order.” Mr. Staton has submitted himself to the court’s procedure: he has requested a re-sentencing, having agreed to travel from out of state (leaving an intensive school schedule) to appear at court in person. By all accounts, he has followed the legal process earnestly and respectfully. Do his actions, then, honestly appear as a “refusal” to cooperate? It is the government from the beginning that has refused to cooperate with the rule of law and the basic principles of universal life and liberty, human rights, and justice. Today is useful to focus undivided attention on the government’s crucial choice in this matter. As Walt ends his eloquent letter to Judge Guerin, stating: “The court’s compassion and understanding would go a long way in helping end this human rights crisis.” If the government of the United States shackles Walt Staton into custody today, it will send a clear and resounding message that the spirit of human rights, of decency, and of humanitarianism is so dangerous, so menacing and “defiant” to government objectives that the enduring spirit itself — embodied in Walt’s actions — has to be violently encaged within hundreds of pounds of seemingly unbreakable metal and concrete. But, as Walt (and many a decent person) continually contends: “I will continue working with humanitarian organizations until (a fundamental) shift in policy occurs and the death and suffering ends.”

UAPD sees something wrong with a little bump and grind

University of Arizona Police Department officers were on patrol on the west side of the Chemistry building on Nov. 24 at 9:10 p.m. when they observed a man on a skateboard performing tricks. According to police, the man was “grinding” on a curb as they approached. Officers made contact with the man and he identified himself as a university student. They advised him that performing skateboard tricks on campus was against university policy and warned him that future encounters with UAPD could lead to citations and/or impoundment of his skateboard. Officers reported no serious damage to university property as a result of the man’s actions.

Cooperative drunk man vomits in The Cellar

Major: Accounting

UAPD officers were dispatched to the Student Union Memorial Center on Nov. 25 at 1:04 a.m. in reference to a report of an intoxicated man in The Cellar Bistro. Upon arrival, officers met with a university employee who led them to the intoxicated man. The employee told officers that the man had entered the area earlier and had vomited. Officers made contact with the man who identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license. According to police, the man had red, watery eyes, slurred speech and the strong odor of intoxicants coming from his mouth as he spoke. Given his level of cooperation, officers told the man that in lieu of a citation, he would be diverted to the Dean of Students Office instead. He was released on scene and escorted back to his residence hall by three friends.

Why I work here:

Man steals single pen, pays in pot

UAPD officers were on patrol near the Student Union Memorial Center on Nov. 25 at 2:19 p.m. when they were flagged down by a bookstore employee and advised that a shoplifting suspect was in custody. Officers made contact with the suspect, who identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license. He told police that he had entered the store and walked toward a shelf near the west wall. He then placed a loose pen into his left hand and walked out of the store, passing several points of sale along the way. The man stated that he had not tried to conceal the pen and refused to tell police whether his intent had been to pay for the pen or not. The man consented to a search of his back pack, in which officers found a bag containing a green, leafy substance, later identified as marijuana. Police also found a glass pipe and a rolling machine in the man’s possession. He was cited on charges of shoplifting, possession of marijuana and possession of narcotics paraphernalia. He was released on scene.

Man theorizes: the only way to beat the tests is not to try

UAPD officers were on patrol near the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory on Nov. 26 at 1:45 a.m. when they observed a black Hummer fail to stop at the stop sign at Sixth Avenue and Drachman Street. Officers initiated a traffic stop near Lee Street and Sixth Avenue. As officers approached the vehicle, the driver opened the door and attempted to exit the vehicle. Officers advised the man to remain in the vehicle and he complied. Upon contact, officers noticed that the man was chewing on a mint. They also observed that he had bloodshot eyes and the odor of intoxicants on his breath. The man mumbled several of his words as he stated that he had a “few” drinks earlier that evening. He claimed that he was returning from his mother’s house and was on his way home. The man agreed to perform field sobriety tests but added that he saw no point in doing so, as he knew he would “pass.” Officers began to explain the instructions for the tests and again asked if the man was willing to perform them, to which he replied, “No, I told you I wouldn’t.” Based on their observations, officers placed the man under arrest for driving under the influence and handcuffed him. He was transported to the UAPD station for a breathalyzer test. At the station, officers discovered that their breathalyzer machine was not fully operational, and transported the man to the Tucson Police Department Station at 270 S. Stone Ave. Breath tests confirmed the man’s blood alcohol content was between .187 and .196. He was cited on charges of DUI-slightest degree, DUI-BAC above .08, extreme DUI-BAC above .15 and failure to stop for a stop sign. His vehicle was towed for a mandatory 30-day impound and he was released after a taxicab was dispatched to transport him home.

Man loves turkey enough to break the law

UAPD officers were on patrol in the area of Speedway Boulevard and Euclid Avenue on Nov. 26 at 1:24 p.m. when they observed a Toyota Camry displaying expired registration. A records check revealed that the license plate was actually registered to a Chevrolet Camaro. Officers initiated a traffic stop at Speedway Boulevard and Second Avenue and made contact with the driver, who identified himself with an Arizona driver’s license. The man told police that the Camry belonged to his girlfriend and the license plate belonged on his Camaro. He told police that the license plate for the Camry had been confiscated, and in order to go to Thanksgiving dinner with his girlfriend, he had put the license plate from his Camaro onto his girlfriend’s Camry. He was cited on charges of knowingly displaying a fictitious license plate and failure to display valid registration on a vehicle. He was released on scene after being advised not to operate the Camry until the proper license plate could be acquired.

Kevin Sabet, left, of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, speaks about the federal classification of marijuana in the U.S. at the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Symposium Thursday. National Association of Boards of Pharmacy President Gary A. Schnabel listens on. The two-day conference focused on the question of whether or not the time is right to legalize medical marijuana.

The National Association of Boards of Pharmacy hosted a discussion with national medical experts on the legalization of medical marijuana Thursday as part of a two-day symposium. Five medical specialists, including Kevin Sabet, special advisor for policy and strategic planning for the Office of National Drug Control Policy, discussed whether medical marijuana should be legal. The goal of the event, held at the JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa, 3800 W. Starr Pass Blvd., “is to raise awareness about various issues of medical development regarding marijuana and to discuss the experi-

ence of states and cities trying to wrestle around these complicated issues,” Sabet said. Sabet added that “medical marijuana is an enormously complex issue.” He said medical marijuana contains over 500 chemical compounds, some of which are still unknown, and needs further research. “Medicine is best determined by scientific process, not by the ballot box,” he said. “There’s certainly more research than there ever has been and we encourage that scientific process to move forward.” Alice Mead, director of United States professional relations for GW Pharmaceuticals , agreed with Sabet that more research needs to be done.

“Certainly we need more research,” she said. “Patients need to be under the close supervision of physicians and pharmacists.” Caren Woodson, director of government affairs for Americans for Safe Access, said she would like medical marijuana to be removed from it’s current classification as a “schedule 1” drug because medical marijuana can help patients. A “schedule 1” drug is one that has been determined to have a high potential of abuse and is not accepted for medical use, Sabet said. “We believe cannabis should be a legal option,”she said.“We represent patients. I think the perspective that often gets lost is the patient’s. Patients should have a safe way to access this information.”

Arizona at No. 20 USC

Battle in the City of Angels Trojans

not like old selves

UA, USC duke it out for second place By Tim Kosch Arizona Daily Wildcat In a season full of journeys into uncharted territory, Arizona football is set to embark on yet another strange trip: a regular season finale against someone other than ASU with a chance to finish second in the Pacific 10 Conference. Like the Sun Devils, the folks on the other sideline will be wearing red and yellow, but this school has a bit more of a pedigree. Yes, Arizona (7-4, 5-3 Pac-10) is taking on USC (8-3, 5-3) at the LA Memorial Coliseum during Championship Week. Having a game against the Pac-10’s most relevant team during college football’s most pivotal weekend is a testament to just how far Arizona football has come since the start of the Stoops regime. “We’re excited about playing USC, that’s for sure,”said defensive coordinator Mark Stoops.“I think with success there’s some trade-off, so you just deal with it however it is and make the most of it.” That trade-off is between the sudden lack of recruiting time — since Arizona will likely play two games in December, at USC and whichever bowl game the Wildcats are selected for — and playing a game of such high magnitude. The latter far outweighs the negatives. “I think (beating USC) would give a lot of respect to our program,” sophomore guard Vaughn Dotsy said. “We’ve worked hard this year. I think it will get tremendous respect for our program and just show our hard work in the offseason paid off. We’re not going to the Rose Bowl, but still, to beat USC, who is still a national powerhouse … they have a lot of talented athletes there.” Unlike the past seven seasons, USC won’t be playing in the Rose Bowl or the National Championship. The Trojans lost a heartbreaker in Washington earlier in the season and were then blown out by Oregon and Stanford. Three losses — conference losses, no less — don’t happen to your average Men of Troy, but USC is still as talented as any team in the nation and seems to be working its way back to the top. “USC looks like they’ve really settled down and played very inspired defense here of late,” head coach Mike Stoops said.“They’ve grown up a lot.You can see they’re much more consistent, so they present some big challenges. They’re very typical USC when you watch them.” The Trojans’ potent offense is wellknown, but Arizona’s defense has been playing its best recently. The Wildcats’ offense, however, struggled against Arizona State and needs to improve if Arizona wants to win this game. “We can’t perform on offense like we did this week,” quarterback Nick Foles said. “Our special teams on defense had a great game. Our offense was sluggish all night.” Dropped passes hampered the offense, something Foles said will not be a lingering issue.

V-ball tourneybound vs. Aggies By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat It will be a Big 12/Pacific 10 Conference battle for Arizona volleyball in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Baton Rouge, La. The No. 19 Wildcats will meet unranked Texas A&M today at 5 p.m. CT at Louisiana State University’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The Aggies, who finished tied with Baylor and Oklahoma for fourth place in the Big 12 Conference, come into the tournament riding a four-match winning streak. While Texas A&M finished in the middle of its conference and with a respectable 18-10 record, Arizona head coach Dave Rubio doesn’t think that this test will overwhelm Arizona (1910, 8-10 Pac-10). “They’re very good,” Rubio said. “But they’re not anything that we VOLLEYBALL, page 10

USC looks to end regular season with eighth straight win against Arizona By Brian Kimball Arizona Daily Wildcat

Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Quarterback Nick Foles throws down the field to receiver William ‘Bug’ Wright in Arizona’s victory against ASU on Saturday. Foles will need to improve his play this weekend against USC if the Wildcats hope to defeat the Trojans in The Coliseum.

“Dropped passes happen. You don’t want them to happen and there were some bad throws and dropped passes during the game and that’s just part of the game,” he said. “I’m not one of the quarterbacks to run up to them and chew them out or rip their head off because I know I’m going to make a bad decision, and I don’t want them coming up to me and ripping my head off.” The team has displayed continuity with previous seasons, and is confident, especially considering how well the Wildcats have played against USC in recent years. Even though the UA is noticeably overmatched in almost every position, it has a history of competing intensely against USC, as confirmed by back-to-back single-touchdown losses in 2007 and 2008. “Over the past years we’ve been close every game, we just need an extra play to help us out,” sophomore cornerback Trevin Wade said.“It’s at their house and it should be pretty interesting. I think this year, this is our year to beat them.”

Players to watch

Cam Nelson, S — Recently, the senior has been playing some of the best football of his career, and while all the focus is on USC safety Taylor Mays, Nelson could make a name for himself on the big stage. Juron Criner, WR — Criner played the game of his life when he scored three touchdowns against Oregon, but was limited to just 12 receiving yards against ASU the following week. Nick Foles will need Criner to make some plays so that Arizona can match USC’s firepower. Matt Scott, QB — Yes, the same quarterback that lost the starting role earlier in the season. Scott is very athletic and has made an impact on the ground via the Wildcat formation, and considering how Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli torched USC with his legs on Halloween, Scott could have a huge impact.

Keys to the game

Pressure Barkley — USC’s freshman quarterback Matt Barkley is a budding superstar, but he isn’t there yet. Barkley has gone through some freshman woes in the last few weeks and Arizona can take advantage of that by constantly getting in his face. Run effectively — Nic Grigsby won’t be playing, Keola Antolin has been banged up and the inability to keep either of those players on the field has hindered Arizona’s rushing attack. The Wildcats are at their best when the offense is balanced, and that should be an emphasis. Seize the moment — Arizona played as well as it could have on the national stage against Oregon but fell just short. This is the Wildcats’ chance to make up for it by beating USC on ABC.

While the USC football team might not be as good as it has been in past seasons, that doesn’t mean the Trojans are going to be pushovers Saturday in Los Angeles. Arizona (7-4, 5-3 Pacific 10 Conference) will take on No. 20 USC (8-3, 5-3) in the season finale for both teams Saturday afternoon at The Coliseum, with the winner likely headed to the Holiday Bowl. For USC — a team that won seven straight Pac10 titles coming into this season — that wasn’t the goal at the start of the year, but finishing tied for second in the league is still something the Trojans are aiming for. “We’ve had some ups and downs here in the later part of the Pac-10 schedule with some games that really shocked us and not being able to stop people. Around that, we’ve played really good defense,” said USC head coach Pete Carroll. “We’ve had a good defensive year other than a couple of games here, so hopefully we can get back and play good, solid defense again and continue to run the ball with some consistency and put together a good solid football game.” Those games that shocked the Trojans were a 47-20 loss to Oregon on Oct. 31 and a 55-21 beating handed down by Stanford on Nov. 14 at The Coliseum. The 55 points were the most USC has allowed in its history. Arizona’s coaches know that regardless of those two off games against the Ducks and the Cardinal, the Trojans will still present a formidable challenge on Saturday. “I think that’s the thing when you play these guys that’s different from everybody else, is they’re just so big and they run around so well,” said UA offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes. “They’re lacking a little bit of experience this year, maybe, that they had last year and it’s taken them a while to get on the same page, but you can see them improving every week. They’ve got a really good defense.” That defense is led by safety Taylor Mays a 2008 consensus Associated Press All-America selection, but USC has some stellar athletes on the front ANALYSIS, page 8

Arizona vs. Oklahoma

Making Wise decisions

Miller: Wildcats rely too heavily on senior point guard By Bryan Roy Arizona Daily Wildcat Any coach from Nic Wise’s previous three seasons would’ve taken a 19-point performance as a breakthrough game for the 5-foot-10 point guard. Not Sean Miller. Not under these circumstances, which continue to change by the week. “Tonight, we relied really heavily on Nic,” UA head basketball coach Sean Miller said.“Too much so.” Arizona will travel to Norman, Okla., to play the Oklahoma Sooners this Sunday at 5 p.m. Tucson time. There, the senior point guard will hope for more contributions from his teammates in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series. Wise recorded six assists and seven rebounds in Wednesday night’s double-overtime loss to University of Nevada-Las Vegas, but those stats were overshadowed by a poor shooting performance. Wise went 3-for-13 from the floor, forcing shots that could’ve been distributed to his teammates.

Aside from a 28-point breakout performance from freshman Derrick Williams, no other Wildcat scored more than nine points: Solomon Hill and Kyle Fogg didn’t score a point in 58 combined minutes. Jamelle Horne only scored four points. “Some of the shots that Nic is missing, he is having to take as a function of lack of confidence or sureness of ability of some of the other guys,” Miller said. “We had, I thought, a couple of opportunities for players to make plays. “I think it is the growth of our team around Nic that will help him the most,” he added. “Right now, he’s having to do a lot.” Arizona struggled to run half-court offensive sets against UNLV’s revolving man-to-man defense. As the Rebels switched matchups, the Wildcats relied on a more freelance style of offense which often left the ball stuck in Wise’s hands. “It was one of the reasons we really HOOPS, page 8

The Arizona Icecats have been on quite the tear lately, winning three straight games after a 2-8 start to the season. But despite the winning streak, the team is still dissatisfied with its mediocre record (5-8) and hungry for victory. The Icecats will have their chance to satisfy that appetite this Friday and Saturday when they host Weber State (7-7) at the Tucson Convention Center. “We’ve got to build off of the momentum that we’ve started,” said sophomore forward Blake Richards. ”We’ve only had one sweep on the season, so you can’t just settle with what you have, you’ve got to build on it and keep going.” Head coach Leo Golembiewski believes that the key to continuing the streak is to remain determined for all 60 minutes of the game. “These kids have to play a shift at a time,” Golembiewski said. “Shifts become periods, periods become games. We’ve got to stay determined.” The Icecats certainly have been playing determined hockey as of late, grinding out three consecutive wins — two of which they captured by a one-goal margin. They have proven that they have what it takes to win games that don’t exactly go their way, a trait of almost all successful sports teams. The Icecats need to make sure they carry that determination over to this weekend’s games against Weber State. With ASU on deck next weekend, it is imperative that the Icecats take care of business with Weber State and don’t start

Yesterday, the first day of the Texas Invitational in Austin, Texas, the Arizona swim and dive team proved exactly why they are among the nation’s elite. “We’re off to a really, really good start,” said head coach Frank Busch. The men’s team is currently in first place after 14 events with a total of 390 points, edging out the hosting Texas Longhorns by 17 points. Meanwhile, the women stand alone with 393 points, a heavy lead over the second-place women’s Texas squad, which has 261 points. But more importantly, the Wildcats produced the only two “A” standard qualifying times of the meet, courtesy of the senior duo of Jack Brown and Jean Basson. Basson qualified in the 500-yard freestyle, finishing in 4:15.22. In the 200y individual medley, Brown took first by touching the wall in 1:44.05, just 0.08 seconds ahead of the “A” qualifying standard. The women’s team was highlighted by wins in the 200y freestyle relay, 400y medley relay and sophomore Alyssa Anderson’s win in her 500y freestyle event. “’A’ standards will be very, very difficult to come by,” Busch said. “But our whole goal is to get people qualified, and we’re doing that right now.”

Injury report

• Freshman forwards Jeff Back and Sean MacLachlan will return to the lineup after missing last weekend’s series against the University of Colorado. “You know he’s a big part of our team,” senior cocaptain Zach Cherney said of Back. “We were able to get a couple of games without him, and now that he’s back he’ll be a big help to our second line.” • For the second straight game, the Icecats will be without sophomore forward Brady Lefferts due to an injured clavicle, among other ailments. “It’s a conglomeration of things, it’s a lot of stuff,” Golembiewski said. “He’s just got a painful body right now.”

UA keys on stopping USC’s Barkley

lines as well. Everson Griffen — a 6-foot-3inch, 280-pound junior defensive end — is one of those players. “He’s got a big motor that we’ve really called on this year and we’ve kind of got him playing with a consistency that he hasn’t played with earlier in his career,” Carroll said. “ … That’s a lot of physical stuff coming at you. He’s got a real good explosion and get-off at the line of scrimmage that gives him the chance to be a good pass rusher.” So good that Griffen’s eight sacks rank second in the Pac-10 behind Arizona’s Ricky Elmore, with 10 sacks. But the Trojans’ freshman quarterback Matt Barkley could decide the outcome of the game against the Wildcats.

HOOPS

thinking about the Sun Devils before the final buzzer sounds on Saturday. “As much as ASU is one of our tickets to a successful season, with them being ranked so high, we have to focus on Weber and more specifically Friday night,” said graduate assistant Nick Boddy. “When you dig yourself a hole like we have, you have to take it one game at a time, one period at a time.” While the two-game home series against Arizona State is huge for the Icecats, they need to stay focused on Weber State and continue their quest for .500 into next weekend. Looking past Weber State is simply not an option. “At 5 and 8, we’re not in the position to look past a ping pong ball,” Golembiewski said. “So we figure Weber State has to be a stepping stone to ASU, as ASU has to be a stepping stone to the rest of the season.”

Barkley is the first true freshman to ever start the season at quarterback for USC, and his inexperience has shown at times during the season. On the year, Barkley has thrown 12 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, with five of those picks coming in the three Trojan losses. Carroll expected some growing pains for Barkley, but for the most part he’s been pleased with the play from his young signal caller. “He can do everything that you want him to do. He’s really poised, he’s a great competitor and all that,” Carroll said. “It’s just a matter of time and he needs to log the experience. He’s been going through that this year and I’m really pleased with everything he’s done.”

The Wildcats and Trojans have played two close games in the past two years — both contests were decided by one touchdown — and that should be the case again this season. Though USC is having an off year by its standards, Arizona knows the Trojans are still a good team and will be tough to beat. “We have to have a better week of preparation than we did a week ago and do the little things. … We’re going to need to be a much more balanced team when we play USC,” said UA head coach Mike Stoops. “That means offense, defense, special teams. You have to be very balanced when you play them. You can’t play a one-sided game against USC. You have to be very balanced if you want to beat them.”

Jones regroups, finds confidence

depended on Nic a lot in the second half,” Miller said.“On certain possessions, that wasn’t necessarily the game plan, that was people deferring. And as you defer, the ball ends up back in his hands at the end of the clock.” Wise’s backup, freshman Momo Jones, has also seen frustrating moments early in the season. The combo guard scored 13 combined points in a three-game trip to Maui where the Wildcats went 1-2. Jones finished the UNLV game with nine points in a performance Miller called “his best game” of the season.

Jones agreed. “After talking to coach Miller last night, I think I came out and played great,” Jones said. “I didn’t have the greatest offensive game, but I thought I came out exceptionally well on defense.” That talk with Miller came at the right time to clear Jones’ head. As a guy that normally picks things up quickly, he said, it’s frustrating for him not to see immediate success. It’s about being patient. It’s about something bigger.

Jones called his his mother and younger sister and heard them say something along the lines of“you’re not playing very good,”he said. “I just had to hear that to really understand that,” he added. “I was just skeptical about things I was doing. Trying to figure my way. Worried about too many things. I think I was so caught up in the moment, not worry about the big picture and little things as a person that makes my team better. “For me to come in and be a freshman all over again and start new things I’m not picking up is kinda frustrating.”

Keys on defending A&M hitters

havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t faced before. Its not like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going in there and feeling like we have to play perfect; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. We have to do what we do, and do it well.â&#x20AC;? Like Arizona, this is the first time the Aggies have received a bid in the NCAA Tournament since 2005. Although both teams enter the tournament with similar seasons, Texas A&M is an unfamiliar opponent, which may be the toughest thing for Arizona. The last time Arizona volleyball faced an Aggies squad was on Nov. 17, 1990. No Wildcat team under Rubio has never encountered Texas A&M. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously we expect to go and play well,â&#x20AC;? said junior setter Paige Weber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can actually give yourself any expectations just because you win and you keep going. If you lose, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done.â&#x20AC;? The rest of the teams in the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pod are also relatively unfamiliar to Arizona. Aside from Tulane, who the Wildcats defeated in the pre-conference season this year, Arizona may also have to play host LSU, who finished as the 2009 SEC Champions and No. 15 seed in the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all good obviously,â&#x20AC;? said Weber of the teams playing in Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-round bracket this year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you get to the tournament everyone has earned the right to be there, so they have to have something to them.â&#x20AC;? But before Arizona can look ahead, it needs to defeat the Aggies. Executing their game plan and limiting errors will be key for the Wildcats in the match. This season, Arizona has shown that it can compete with the top of the Pac-10 but that a lack of focus can throw it off. The unfamiliarity with Texas A&M may be exactly what Arizona needs to focus on its game plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to face a couple faces we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen before but it still comes down to execution and who can execute better,â&#x20AC;? Rubio said. A defensive presence will also be key for Arizona in the first round of tournament action. Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blockers will try to slow down the Aggiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; leading outside hitters Jennifer Banse and Sarah Ammerman, both All-Big-12 First Team Selections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really big with their outside hitters,â&#x20AC;? senior middle blocker Jacy Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on closing the block, making sure that we put up a solid block.â&#x20AC;? If they defeat the Aggies on Friday, the Wildcats will play on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. CT.

Wolfpack visits W-hoops By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball is riding a two-game winning streak as it returns home to McKale Center for a showdown with a Western Athletics Conference team. Facing the University of NevadaReno in a Friday night matchup, the Wildcats (4-1) will look to continue to develop the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive presence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to execute â&#x20AC;&#x201D; get down, play defense and no fouls,â&#x20AC;? said junior forward Ify Ibekwe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to make our open shots and we just have to be ready to play.â&#x20AC;? Defensive play has been key for the Wildcats this season, and has been especially emphasized by head coach Niya Butts. Arizona is currently ranked sixth in the Pacific 10 Conference, and 126th in the nation in scoring defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we can score more, but I think that comes with cutting down on your turnovers,â&#x20AC;? Butts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I think limiting some of our other mistakes is going to affect the scoreboard.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to create opportunities with our defense and by not turning the ball over so much.â&#x20AC;? Arizona has the advantage when it comes to steals and rebounds, averaging 4.4 blocks and 8.6 steals per game. So far this season, the Wildcats have been plagued by turnovers. Averaging 20 turnovers per game, Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring is not only being compromised by its lack of possessions but also by the lack of potential for foul shots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be in tune to what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing,â&#x20AC;? Ibekwe said of the offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do what we have to do and score and produce offensively.â&#x20AC;? The Wildcats have a strong, yet inexperienced offense this season. Three newcomers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brooke Jackson, Soana Lucet and Davellyn Whyte â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are the only three Arizona players to register at least 20 points in a game. As a team, Arizona is averaging 66.9 points per game, slightly more than Nevada (5-2), with 61.4 points per game. The Wildcats also have the advantage when it comes to individual players. Ibekwe, Whyte, Lucet and

Jackson all average double figures in scoring per game while the Wolfpack have only Johnna Ward, who is averaging 13.1 points. Ibekwe has attributed the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent offensive success to team chemistry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we just have confidence in each other and in ourselves to go there, do what we have to do and play good,â&#x20AC;? Ibekwe said. The Wolfpack, like Arizona, is under the direction of a second-year head coach. Jane Albright, unlike Butts, has a combined 25 years of collegiate coaching experience. Returning back home to the desert should help the Wildcats to continue their swagger. If they can continue to rack up wins in the non-conference season, Arizona may be a surprise team in the Pac-10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just have to stress that â&#x20AC;&#x201D; doing well at home,â&#x20AC;? Butts said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gotta protect our home court and if we can go into it with that attitude, we have two games coming up here and we have to home serve.â&#x20AC;?
