Arizona Bioscience Park will allow research to move closer to campus By Adam Lehrer ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After eight years of planning, construction on the Arizona Bioscience Park will begin following a groundbreaking event themed “Destination Discovery — A World of New Ideas” to be held Friday from 1:30 to 3 p.m. The Bio Park, which is to be located at the southwest corner of 36th Street and Kino Parkway, seeks to provide the infrastructure, amenities and environment to attract and grow technology companies in the area of biosciences, officials said. The park is part of a larger effort to build a more vibrant and active bioscience industry in Arizona. “The park will allow us to meet facility requirements,”said Associate Vice President of Arizona’s Office of University Research Parks and CEO of the

Arizona Bioscience Park Bruce Wright. “Arizona is deficient in bioscience requirements that companies need, and this park will provide a place to work so companies that use Arizona technology don’t have to move to places like San Diego to operate companies.” Members of the university’s bioscience community raised concerns eight years ago that the UA Science and Technology Park, located at 9070 S. Rita Rd., was too far from campus. “The university already owns a large research park, but it became apparent that we need a second park closer to main campus,” said Wright. “This park is only a two-and-a-halfmile distance from campus and will allow people to move back and forth from the park to campus.” After coming up with the idea in 2001, the Arizona Office of University Resource Parks went through a

strenuous eight-year process to get the Bio Park to this point. “There was an intense process to develop a plan for the park. We looked at different sites around the community, and then came up with a master land use plan. We then had to have these plans approved by the regents; it was a very careful and thoughtful process,”Wright said. To decide upon the best location for the Bio Park and come up with a building plan, the Office of University Resource Parks teamed with the Planning Center, a company that uses the latest technologies to create solutions to challenges facing governments and the development community. There were six sites observed, including ones in the downtown area and around the Campbell Avenue farms, before the resource parks office chose the location at

36th Street and Kino Parkway. “The site was chosen for its proximity to campus and acreage; it has about 65 acres of land,”Wright said. The site has been designed to cater to bioscience companies’ needs. Director of Strategic Initiatives and project manager of the Bioscience Park Molly Gilbert said, “We approached the project from the perspective of what companies would want and need. Biotech companies have very specific infrastructure needs, and we designed the Bio Park to cater to the needs of these companies.” The Office of University Resource Parks designed the facility with the hope of bringing in the best employees for the companies. As such, the Bio Park will also feature housing for graduate students, a hotel, FACILITY, page A14

ASUA saves school clothing bank By Shannon Maule ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT This week, in an attempt to save the Tucson Unified School District Clothing Bank, ASUA Senator Eduardo Atjian is asking students to donate used or new clothing items. As a “last minute” senate project, Atjian, a junior, contacted representatives from TUSD in order to set up this holiday donation drive. Atjian said that he originally heard the clothing bank would be forced to close due to budget cuts. “My mom mentioned to me that the TUSD clothing bank was going to be cut,”Atijian said. He was happy to find out that he would be able to help them stay in business. Atjian, who attended TUSD schools

from kindergarten through senior year of high school, and whose parents are both teachers in the district, said he understands that there is a desperate need for donations. “I feel connected. It’s just like that rule, if something was given to you positive, you want to give back to it, too,” he said. Sophomore Sen. James Brooks has assisted Atjian with the drive. “I helped out with the stuff on how to make it become a clothing drive that we do during next year and the years to come,” he said. Both senators said they want to make this a yearly donation drive to help keep the clothing bank active. “Expect another one in the spring,” Atjian said. DRIVE, page A7

In an attempt to save the Tucson Unified School District Clothing Bank, ASUA Senator Eduardo Atjian collaborated with TUSD to set up a holiday donation drive this week. Donations will be accepted in the ASUA office, cultural centers, Greek houses, or on the UA Mall between noon-1 p.m. Monday-Friday.

The new legal definition of domestic violence in Arizona has been extended to include dating couples and those who have just had sex, even once. Parts of the law have raised questions among some in the legal and anti-violence communities. Originally limited to people who live together, are married or share children, legislators re-wrote the law to allow police and courts to determine what constitutes a dating relationship, and how to proceed in charging when people report violent behavior to police. “Dating relationships and people who are in them have the same dynamics — unfortunately — of domestic violence that involve other relationships,” said Kathleen Mayer, the legislative liaison for the Pima County Attorney’s Office. Mayer testified in favor of the new law before the Arizona State Legislature in May 2008. The legislature passed S.B.1088, “Kaity’s Law”, after 17-year-old Kaity Sudberry of Phoenix was murdered by her boyfriend in January 2008 as she walked home from school. Sudberry’s family was unable to get protective orders to keep then-17-yearold Daniel Byrd legally at bay, because the two were not in what was then considered a domestic relationship. The new law re-enforces existing statutes that require police to act in situations of domestic violence. Like assault, domestic violence does not require one person to touch another, but merely to make another person afraid. Bobbi Sudberry, Kaity’s mother, said in a phone interview Tuesday that college students should be aware of the laws and penalties because VIOLENCE, page A5

Season ticket holders and Wildcat Club — the athletic department’s donor club — members were given the opportunity to purchase the tickets starting shortly after Arizona’s victory over USC until yesterday at noon. The tickets were expected to go on sale to the general public at 6 p.m. but were already sold out within two days of going on sale. The Wildcats will face Nebraska, which also has sold its allotment of 11,000 seats, in the Pacific 10 Conference versus Big 12 Conference showdown on Dec. 30 at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium.

‘A Christmas Story’ reenactment BOISE, Idaho — It’s become an annual winter tale: A young boy gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole, perhaps as the result of a dare. This year, the scene straight out of the movie “A Christmas Story” unfolded Tuesday morning in Boise with a boy of about 10. Boise firefighters used a glass of warm

water to free the unidentified boy from the metal fence pole. Fire Capt. Bill Tinsley says the boy’s tongue was bleeding a little, but he was OK and allowed to continue walking to school. Firefighters estimate the boy was 10 years old. — The Associated Press

The Counseling and Psychological Services program through Campus Health provides a cheaper psychology service for students seeking help with a variety of issues. The CAPS office is located on the third floor of the Campus Health Services building.

CAPS eases finals stress By Yael Schusterman Arizona Daily Wildcat

Finals week got you down? Need help? You can find it on campus without worrying about your wallet. Counseling and Psychological Services offers counseling to students to assist them in managing their mental health while attending the UA. “We certainly see a continual increase in the number of students seeking services and we have been working diligently to expand our staff to meet their demands,”said Marian Binder, who has been the CAPS director for more than five years. She added that there has also been an increase in the severity of problems students are coming in with. The biggest problem being treated is depression, Binder said. Other common issues are eating disorders, anxiety and insomnia. The $25-per-session fee charged by CAPS is a fraction of the cost for seeking similar services in the community, Binder said. She noted that there has been an increase in the number of students who come to school already taking psychotropic medications and want to save money by continuing to use them through CAPS, rather than their doctors at home. There are 11 full-time counselors on staff, including two psychiatrists and four psychologists. The remainder are master’s-level counselors. A health and wellness survey conducted by the department showed half of students reporting that seeking CAPS services has helped them remain in school. Binder said the busiest months at CAPS are usually in the middle of semesters, typically October and April. She said it takes people time

to get situated and figure out their course load, especially at the beginning of the fall. There is a slightly higher number of females who seek treatment. CAPS deals with many freshmen, but more than 65 percent of students using the services are seniors and graduate students. Binder said last year, there were more than 11,000 visits and this year, CAPS expects to have as many, if not more. On average, annual visits have numbered between 9,000 and 11,000 since 2005. Glenn Matchett-Morris, a CAPS counselor who has worked there for more than a year, said, “We have a large number of students who are seeking services, but it is well known that many students don’t seek services because of the stigma.” If a student is interested in utilizing CAPS, he or she can walk into campus health and have a $5 triage appointment so counselors can see what the student is looking for and understand the student’s needs. The next step is setting up an appointment. If a student does not have an insurance plan, then the first appointment is $30 and every additional one is $25. Matchett-Morris said CAPS has done a great deal of outreach in the community by working with Greek Life and Residence Life to “get the word out about services they do.” He said there is a disproportionate number of graduate students seeking treatment because of the high demands and stress levels they experience. “We certainly encourage people to come in and encourage others to come,” Matchett-Morris said. “A lot of times it’s friends who notice something has changed and they’ll make that suggestion and get someone through the door.”

A semester of sorrows

he end is near, and good riddance. No one appreciates a Debbie Downer mentality, but this semester has seen too many disappointments to ignore. It’s only fitting to recognize the issues of this semester and hope that spring 2010 will not have a similar fate. The semester got off to a negative start around the time that UA faculty and staff created the “UA Defender” blog, an open forum that brought attention to concerns about abuses of power at the UA. The blog called for a vote of no confidence in President Robert Shelton and Provost Meredith Hay, and many bloggers expressed a fear of dismissal for speaking out against Shelton and Hay. A poll, taken by 30 percent of faculty members, revealed “high distrust and low confidence” in Hay and Shelton, according to an Oct. 6 Wildcat report. The two went on to host a Faculty Senate in response to the poll results. The issue as a whole faded into oblivion after the meeting. Toward the second half of the semester, the “UA Defender” saw a decrease in blog posts, and more speech-related issues swept across the UA campus. In September, one student was detained and another was arrested for chalk drawings on the UA campus. After the arrest of graduate student Jacob Miller, who started chalking up the campus to advertise a rally protesting budget cuts, Evan Lisull was cited after writing messages like “chalk is speech” around campus. In the following days, chalk could be found all over the UA, and many students joined Facebook groups in support of the chalkers. Students called UAPD out for abuses of power and selective punishment. President Shelton ended the debacle when he asked UAPD to drop the charges against Lisull and Miller. Still, a bad taste remained in the mouths of UA students. On October 8, approximately 10,000 issues of the Daily Wildcat were stolen from newsstands. Due to many contributing factors, Phi Kappa Psi fraternity was suspected to be responsible for the theft. The Wildcat reported finding the homework of Phi Kappa Psi members Alex Cornell and Nick Kovaleski with piles of the missing newspapers on West Anklam Road, and many students stepped forward with information about Phi Kappa Psi’s involvement. Despite this, the Greek Standards Board found Phi Kappa Psi not responsible for the theft. It’s unfortunate that the thieves, whoever they are, got off scot-free and silenced the press. Finally, Shelton said at a recent Faculty Senate meeting that in-state tuition could rise by almost $4,000 in the next two years. It could go up to $9,920 annually by 2012, and it will surely increase long after that. The increases are meant to make up for the massive budget cuts the UA has suffered in the last two years, and sadly, students will have to pay for this major loss. Who knew having intellectual curiosity could have such a high price tag? Students wouldn’t be crazy to predict further increases as soon as next semester. In spite of the episodic troubles this semester has seen, there were a handful of positive events that took place. The Fray concert, which was held on Nov. 18 in Centennial Hall, completely sold out. The campus community bonded together to defend the chalk drawers, and the charges were in turn dropped. But the downsides overshadow the upsides, and it’s a shame that so much has been done to censor free speech this semester. The newspaper case remains a mystery and a huge loss for the Wildcat, the chalkers were penalized for voicing their opinions, staff and faculty raised concern about the Shelton and Hay administration, and tuition is inevitably on the rise. Here’s to hoping for a better spring semester as well as a positive start to 2010.

MAILBAG Dead Day is not enough

In response to the Dec. 8 article regarding the extension of Dead Day, I would highly recommend it. The reason is that as a student with three finals, I will not have enough time in one day to cover all the material I need to get ready. The dead period should also be a time where you should not be stressing about your studies. With only one day, I feel I would be more stressed because of all the studying I need to get done in one day. Besides studying for finals, I also need to get ready to fly back home. In the article, it described that both Princeton and Yale University have a“reading”period where they basically have a dead week instead of a dead day. I would confidently say that Princeton and Yale students do need a whole week to study for their rigorous classes, however it does not mean that University of Arizona students don’t have hard classes. To make an even compromise, I would suggest that we get a Thursday and Friday off and then get the weekend off. I feel that type of mini dead week will be a great compromise from having a short one day of studying to a full four-day studying period. Joey Rosen Pre-business freshman

‘Politicians, religion clash’ column needed more research

After reading Rachel Leavitt’s article, “Politicians, religion clash,” (Dec. 7, 2009) it was good to see she is a “creative writing” major, as most of what I have read is certainly not factual. Inventive and imaginative would be much more accurate. Leavitt writes, “A few weeks ago, Roman Catholic leader of Rhode Island Bishop Thomas Tobin requested that Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy refrain from taking Holy Communion due to his pro-choice stance on

•

The best part of this semester is that it will soon be over, though it may not be soon enough to adequately columnist repress my memories. The utter disappointment of the last few months can be attributed to the top five notable events of the semester, all of them quite unfortunate. #1, #2, #3 — Oregon, Oregon and Oregon! I will always look back at this past semester and shed a tear when I think about how close our football team was to making its first Rose Bowl trip. As a result, I will harbor thoughts of ill will against all who rushed the field prematurely, robbing all seniors of their grand exit. A season that began by losing future first-rounder Rob Gronkowski turned the corner and had the chance to be the crown jewel of Wildcat football, but it wasn’t meant to be. After the bitter taste of defeat has been washed out, the other shortfalls of the semester seem almost insignificant. #4 The Phi Psi scandal became the most thoroughly and controversially covered event for the Daily Wildcat this semester. Fraught with circumstantial evidence, anonymous e-mails and allegations of “ball deprivation,” allegations of theft by Phi Psi took many forms, which received both great support and condemnation from the student body. It looks like the issue is officially a cold case, due to dismissal by both the UAPD and Greek Standards Board, but those on campus now know just how easy it is to silence the press without any repercussions. #5 Hopscotch and free speech were placed on the endangered activities list as UAPD vigorously pursued deviants “vandalizing” campus. From the beginning, the administration and UAPD handled the chalk protests with the foresight of a toddler, quickly arresting and condemning Jacob Miller as a criminal for expressing his sentiments in chalk. The damage control employed by both institutions was more embarrassing than their initial actions, including another citation and assertion that it cost $1,000 to clean up such methods of expression. As if this semester weren’t disappointing enough, students have paid thousands of dollars more just for the chance to be screwed over. With tuition likely rising even more over the next few years, students better squeeze all the fun they can out of their time here. — Dan Sotelo is a senior majoring in political science.

A series of unfortunate events

abortion even though prior to the recent death of Kennedy’s father, Sen. Edward ‘Ted’ Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy’s political views had not prohibited his participation.” WRONG. The letter to Patrick Kennedy was sent two years ago. How does the author know Sen. Kennedy was not asked to receive the Blessed Sacrament for his views on abortion, same sex so-called marriage, etc? Has she spoken with his bishop? Leavitt goes on to say,“So if liberal politicians risk being denied communion based on their support of abortion, are those conservative politicians opposing the health care reform subject to the same threat?” Why would those opposing reform be subjected to the law of God and the Church? Perhaps you are not familiar with the commandment, you will not murder. Sorry, I don’t remember one saying you should give health reform — please enlighten me. Senior Harvard Research Scientist for AIDS Prevention, Dr. Edward Green, who is the author of five books, including “Rethinking AIDS Prevention: Learning from Successes in Developing Countries” discussed his support for Pope Benedict XVI’s comments. According to Dr. Green, science is finding that the media is actually on the wrong side of the issue. In fact, Green says that not only do condoms not work, but that they may be “exacerbating the problem” in Africa. Leavitt says the Catholic Church has every right to make political statements and grant or deny communion to anyone it chooses, I suppose. Finally, the first accurate statement in her essay. Yes, Christ’s church does have the right to make and enforce its laws. Remember, no one is forced to remain in the church. Mr. Kennedy is free to start Pat’s Church as other’s have done for the past five hundred years when they disagreed with the church.

Wildcat columnists opine on some of the best and worst parts of the semester Dunja Nedic columnist

A fleeting semester as an exchange student

Studying abroad is probably one of the hardest, yet most rewarding, things you can choose to do as a university student. Having said that, given that my success in each of my classes is dependent on pass/fail grades, the stress usually associated with school has been something of a non-event. Replacing my usual mentality of needing to do well with the attitude that my academic transcript at home would look identical no matter how much or how little I did, provided that I passed all my classes, was a challenge in itself (and this is just one of the many reasons you should all go on exchange). My semester at the UA has still been full of ups and downs, in spite of the fact that they had little to do with the academic side of school here. It reignited my prepubescent love for Hanson after seeing them at the Rialto on Nov. 10, taught me how to reaffix the chain on a bike and that members of Greek Life do not take bad publicity well. Though my superiors in Australia may be disappointed to see how I’ve summed up my experience here, it’s nonetheless been a good one. So long, and thanks. — Dunja Nedic is an Australian Exchange Student. She can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

The biggest challenge of the semester, for those of us who have chosen our majors unwisely, is our research papers. We’ve already had class readings, quizzes, shorter papers and even exams. But now comes crunch time. As opposed to many other majors that simply require one to study for a final for a few hours, writing-intensive classes often require students to read a dozen books and organize the information into a nigh-immaculate masterpiece. Especially with multiple such essays and such limited time, one wonders how this work can be accomplished. Some turn to sleep deprivation. Others resort to prescription stimulants. columnist

If you’re lucky, the university will own a book or two that neatly encompasses the bulk of your ill-conceived topic. That book will be checked out. — Daniel Greenberg is a senior majoring in Near Eastern Studies. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Embarrassing behavior at football game

At the Oregon vs. Arizona football game, someone in the stands chucked a full water bottle at Oregon cheerleader Katelynn Johnson, who was taken off the field and hospitalized. This happened in addition to the unnecessary student section field rush. Thankfully, the behavior of this group and the bottle-thrower is not representative of the UA community as a whole. Unfortunately, the public has no way of knowing that, especially since all of this happened on national television. It’s troubling that the final home game of the semester had to end this way. On the bright side, however, the football team went on to beat Arizona State University and University of Southern California. That, however, may be the only light at the end of the tunnel for now, and these wins only reflect the success of the football team rather than the character of fans and stadium attendees. I hope that next fall’s football games won’t be so rowdy and dangerous, and I also expect the Wildcats to call out anyone who engages in such crude manners. Don’t be the person who watches this nonsense take place and then speaks out against it afterward. Say something on the spot, and your opinion will be more likely to be respected and honored. Had I been at the football game that day, I would have said something to the bottle-thrower if he were in my line of vision. It’s the responsibility of the student body to call out this sort of unacceptable behavior during student events. Don’t stand back and let this happen; tell someone to calm down and maybe he or she will mellow out, or at least realize how stupid he or she must look. Students have a duty to be excited and spirited at games, but to display animalistic qualities is completely humiliating and unbecoming for college students. — Laura Donovan is the opinions editor.

VIOLENCE

continued from page A1

Local advocates debate merits of law’s extension

they represent the vast majority of the dating population. “Police are mandated to make an arrest if they have probable cause to believe that assaultive behavior took place,” Mayer said. Police have the power to remove children, search for evidence and confiscate weapons from either suspects or victims after an allegation of domestic violence has been made, though Mayer said officers are still responsible for demonstrating probable cause in court. Victims of domestic violence are guarenteed an order of protection within 24 hours of a reported domestic violence incident. In Arizona, restraining orders can be obtained without the presence of the defendant, who must come to court to fight the order after it has been granted. The boundaries do not typically require the petitioner to avoid the defendant or their property. “What the legislature did was amend the statute to include a dating relationship, but they didn’t really tell us what a dating relationship is,” said Tucson City Court Judge Michael Pollard. Pollard said the law is legally problematic but probably won’t be repealed any time soon. “Once you’ve been here a while, it becomes easy to determine pretty much what’s what,”Pollard said. “You do want to protect someone whose in a domestic violence relationship. That’s the bottom line.” Tucson City Chief Deputy Public Defender Russell Hughes said the reality of how domestic violence cases are prosecuted is grossly misunderstood by the public. “Men are far more heavily prosecuted. They are charged more frequently, they are convicted more frequently,” he said. “There are lots of studies that show abuse is actually about even-steven.” Hughes said there’s a double standard in the news media about violence against men that he has also seen as a public defender. “When you hear of a football player’s girlfirend shooting him, you don’t hear the words domestic violence on TV,” Hughes said, referring to the murder of former NFL star Steve McNair, who was murdered by his mistress Sahel Kazemi in July 2009. Tucson domestic violence survivors’ advocate Delia Gestalum survived a physically and emotionally abusive relationship with a live-in boyfriend for five years. “Unless there’s now a legal definition of boyfriend,

(police and courts) shouldn’t have the right to determine if that’s my boyfriend or not,”she said. Gestalum has volunteered as a domestic violence survivors’ advocate in Tucson for more than 10 years. Gestalum said it’s important to empower victims, especially women, to seek help on their own. “I think (the new law) is great if you are a heterosexual person in a heteronormative relationship, a Seventeen Magazine-approved boyfriendgirlfriend relationship. But if you’re outside of that spectrum, how are you going to be protected?” asked Kaylene Torregrossa, an anti-violence activist and UA theatre arts senior. “We can’t rely on the system to solve all the problems,” she said. Mayer said the law is also about teaching nonviolence to male youths. “We also want to educate young men that might start this behavior,” she said. Sudberry said the law is less about gender and more about promoting healthy relationships where power is shared equally between two people. “It’s not like you have to wait until they’re living together, or pregnant, or married for the pattern to start showing,” said Sudberry. “I think the abusive behavior, the majority of the time, starts during the dating relationship.” There are no statutory guidelines that outline what behavior is or is not abusive. “If we show the pattern sooner, the perpetrator may very well be forced to address their issues sooner,” she said. Most domestic violence situations are prosecuted in municipal and county justice courts, and result in fines, court-ordered therapy, and no jail time, according to the Pima County Attorney’s Office. Neither Mayer nor Tucson City Prosecutor Laura Brynwood could point to any specific cases where the new law was applied, though both said it gave badly-needed legal powers to police and courts.

Man urinates on building, gets trip to foreign country

University of Arizona Police Department officers noticed a man urinating in public near 1303 E. University Blvd. on Sept. 16 at 11:10 p.m. The man then got on a bicycle and began to ride toward the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Mountain Avenue, where police were able to stop the man. When officers made contact with the man, he was unable to provide police with any form of identification. During questioning, the man gave police three different names and three different dates of birth. After questioning, the man finally admitted to being in the country illegally and refused to give officers a real name. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol arrived on scene to take custody of the unidentified man and he was transported to a nearby government facility, where he is awaiting deportation.

Hot dog spends evening in big house

UAPD officers were on patrol in the area of Vine Avenue and First Street on Nov. 1 at 12:46 a.m. when a man in a hot dog costume jumped out into the street in front of their fully marked police cruiser. The man jumped from the sidewalk to the street, extended the middle finger on his left hand toward officers and screamed,“Fuck you.”Officers exited the vehicle and made contact with the man. They asked him for identification and he replied that he did not have any on his person. Officers noticed the strong odor of intoxicants coming from the man’s mouth as he spoke. Police asked the man how old he was and he replied that he was 19. Police then asked the man for his name, which he gave as Michael Joseph Jackson. Police attempted several times to determine the man’s real name and age, but he continued to provide false information. Officers eventually determined who the man was and placed him under arrest. During a search of his person, officers discovered a fictitious California driver’s license. They cited the man on charges of false reporting to a law enforcement officer, possession of a fake ID and minor in possession. He was additionally issued a civil citation for obstructing traffic. He was transported to Pima County Jail where he was booked.

Geriatric Romeo unable to woo younger woman

UAPD officers met with a female student at the UAPD main station on Nov. 17 at 10:22 a.m. in reference to suspicious activity. According to the woman, she had been attending an LSAT preparation course on Nov. 16 at the Student Union when another class member made her feel uncomfortable. She described the other class member as “a creeper” and told officers that he was in his late 60s or early 70s. She stated that he followed her out of class and all the way to her car, which was parked at the Second Street Garage. She stated that once at her car, the man produced a Victoria’s Secret box, which he gave to her as a gift. Inside of the box was a $25 gift card. She stated that she did not know why the man would have given her a gift and admitted that is had made her feel very uncomfortable. She stated that she did not feel threatened but wanted to report the incident so that it would be documented. She told police that rather than have any further contact with the man, she would give the gift to her instructor and the instructor could return the it.

DRIVE

Drive helps 117 schools

continued from page A1

Atjian said he feels that the holiday season is the perfect time for a clothing drive. “Would you rather give clothes at the beginning of the school year when you just start, or when you’re done with the semester and you’re going back home to your parents for break?” he asked. “In my opinion, you accumulate clothes throughout the semester, and at the end of the finals, you go home and get new clothes. Plus, you get free t-shirts here and there and students have tons of clothes to give away. This couldn’t be more perfect,” he said. As of Monday night, the Student Alumni Association had made the largest donation. “It’s already a success, because they donated at least three big bags,” he said. A member of the group called the senator on Friday because they had seen advertisements about the drive. The association gave leftover items from its rummage sale before the drive had even begun. Atjian said he does not have a goal in mind for the amount of clothing he wants. “It is already a success,” he repeated. “Each item will be put to use and keep someone warm this winter. The students who donate will know that they

made a difference. It may not a big deal to them, but to another child, that t-shirt or pair of pants can last them for two or three years.” The clothing bank was founded in 1957, in the basement of Carrillo Elementary School. Clothing bank coordinator for TUSD Christina Molina said she has been working there for 16 years. She works alone, with the exception of volunteers, she said. “I only provide for students from the 117 schools in the district. There are about 25-30 students per day, five days a week.” She explained that the bank is organized by gender and age. Molina said she is excited to see the amount of clothing that will be donated by the end of the week. “This is the first time for Eduardo and I, and we’re just looking forward to what may be coming,” she said. Molina asks that donations be in good condition. “All the clothing here is in good shape. I wouldn’t put anything on our students that I wouldn’t put on my own kids,” she said. The clothing drive will continue until Friday, and anyone can drop off donations in the ASUA office, cultural centers, Greek houses or on the UA mall between noon and 1 p.m.

History of the Holiday

Miller, Wildcats want to get defensive By Bryan Roy ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Alan Walsh/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Cornerback Marcus Benjamin trips up a USC receiver during Arizona’s 21-17 victory over the then-No. 18 Trojans in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Benjamin and his fellow Wildcats will have a few weeks to plan for Nebraska defensive tackle and Heisman Trophy candidate Ndamukong Suh.

’Cats, Huskers play rematch of 1998 bowl game By Tim Kosch ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The last time the Arizona football program reached consecutive bowl games was in 1997 and 1998, when the Wildcats played New Mexico in the Cotton Bowl and then Nebraska in — you guessed it — the Holiday Bowl. While the 2009 edition of Arizona football won’t have a chance to repeat the 12-1 record that the 1998 squad held, it has the chance to replicate a victory over the Cornhuskers in San Diego. For these Wildcats, that’s just fine. “We had a meeting before we came out (against USC) and X-Kelly (senior linebacker Xavier Kelly) said, ‘Don’t settle,’” senior safety Cam Nelson said. “We didn’t want to go to just any bowl, we wanted to go to the highest one possible.” After Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli erased any hope the Wildcats (8-4, 6-3 Pacific 10 Conference) had of making the Rose Bowl this season, Arizona had two choices: sulk after a loss and take whatever bowl game came its way, or beat

ASU and USC to make it to the next best thing. The Wildcats chose the latter and now find themselves playing in the bowl game that matches the second-ranked team in the Pac-10 with the secondplace Big 12 Conference team. “We knew we were going back to a bowl,” offensive lineman Adam Grant said. “People doubted us, but we knew it. But to improve and go to a better bowl, it’s huge. I just feel great for the coaches and the players. As soon as Juron (wide receiver Juron Criner) caught that ball, I was just like ‘We’re going to the Holiday Bowl!’ That’s a big deal. We’ve only done it one other time. It’s a big deal for us.” Reaching the Pac-10’s second-best bowl game and finishing in second place in the conference is a big deal in its own right, but it’s especially big this season, considering the Wildcats were picked to finish in eighth place in the preseason Pac-10 Poll. “All those nay-sayers, they were there, but we believed in each other,”Grant said.“I know coach (Mike) Stoops was upset (about the rankings).” FOOTBALL, page A9

Arizona wins if … the offense can negate Ndamukong Suh’s impact. The Wildcats are as capable as any team to do that, considering the strength of the offensive line and the quick screens and timing routes in the passing game, so neutralizing Suh might not be as big of a challenge for Arizona as for other teams. He will still make his plays, there’s no denying that, Arizona just needs to limit them. Arizona wins because … the defense won’t give up any touchdowns. As good as Suh is, the Cornhusker offense is anemic. The Wildcat defense, substantially faster than Nebraska’s offense, should have a relatively easy time keeping the Cornhuskers’offense in check.

At one point in Sean Miller’s routine press conference yesterday, he answered “no” to four straight pressing questions about what his Wildcats face. It’s what Miller calls the reality surrounding his team (3-4) preparing to go against an underrated Louisiana Tech team tonight at 9 p.m. in McKale Center. Here were the questions: • You talked about Kyle Fogg taking the role as a defensive stopper. Has he shown any progress? “No.” • Anyone? “Nope. Nope. We have to get better in that area.” • Who would you consider your top couple defenders? “We don’t really have that right now … For me to say anything, I would just be absolutely lying to you.” • Will you make any adjustments to guard Louisiana Tech’s stud guard Kyle Gibson? “No. Just working to play defense like we know how … I want to instill those things right now.” • During games, in timeouts when you’re trying to coach these young players, do you see them absorbing what you’re saying? “No. Sometimes that’s a problem for us. And it’s one of the many problems. Before we left for Oklahoma, two young players didn’t get tape because the practice before we left they thought it was just a shootaround. For the life of me, I didn’t even think to say ‘practice means practice.’” Miller, coming off a blowout 79-62 loss to Oklahoma, in which he called his team’s effort “tentative,” is looking for a defensive edge in a team storyline quite similar to his inaugural season at Xavier. In 2004, his first year as Xavier head coach, Miller inherited an Elite Eight team after Thad Matta took the Ohio State job. Two players went to the NBA Draft and three graduated, leaving an extremely young team, like the one in Tucson today. Arizona, coming off a Sweet 16 appearance and losing Chase Budinger and Jordan Hill to the NBA, graduated two players and lost wing Zane Johnson after he transferred. The current Arizona team, having embraced its fourth coach in as many years, now adjusts to another regime: How they scout, how they practice, pregame meals, a man-to-man defense. “It’s going to take time,” Miller said. “In certain cases, it’s going to take a little longer than we would like.” While players weren’t available to the media yesterday, some needed to vent their mounting frustrations in 140 characters or less on Twitter: Wrote Nic Wise: “Disappointment. Embarrassment. Frustration. Couldn’t win on the road last year with 2 pros. Even tougher this year with a young team.” Wrote Kyryl Natyazhko: “Trip to Oklahoma was terrible we lost a game and I lost my keys and headphones.” Just how frustrating? “It’s certainly a challenge right now,” Miller said. “One of the things I hope as a staff we can instill in this group, just an incredible competitiveness. We don’t have that right now.”

Pacific 10 Conference teams going bowling By Brian Kimball ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi: Jan. 1, 2:30 p.m. MST, Pasadena, Calif., Rose Bowl — No. 7 Oregon (10-2) vs. No. 8 Ohio State (10-2) The annual clash between the Pacific 10 Conference and Big 10 Conference champs couldn’t feature any two teams with as vastly different styles as this year’s match-up. Oregon’s high-flying offense and speedy defense will face off against Ohio State’s physical defense and plodding offense. While Pac-10 supporters might expect the Ducks to soar past the Buckeyes, Ohio State simply won’t allow itself to get run over. This should be one of the more entertaining games of the bowl season.

Pacific Life Holiday Bowl: Dec. 30, 6 p.m. MST, San Diego, Calif., Qualcomm Stadium — No. 22 Arizona (8-4) vs. No. 20 Nebraska (9-4) This is a rematch of sorts of the 1998 Holiday Bowl. Arizona won that game 23-20, but this game will likely feature far fewer points. Nebraska’s offense is among the worst in the nation, but the squad’s stellar defense has kept it in every game this year. Arizona will probably have its share of problems scoring on the Huskers, but Nebraska would have problems scoring on some high school teams. This could have a similar ending to the 1998 contest.

Brut Sun Bowl:

MAACO Bowl Las Vegas:

Emerald Bowl:

Dec. 31, 12 p.m. MST, El Paso, Texas, Sun Bowl — No. 19 Stanford (8-4) vs. Oklahoma (7-5)

Dec. 22, 6 p.m. MST, Las Vegas, Nev., Sam Boyd Stadium — No. 16 Oregon State (8-4) vs. No. 15 BYU (10-2)

Dec. 26, 6 p.m. MST, San Francisco, Calif. AT&T Park — USC (8-4) vs. Boston College (8-4)

At the start of the season, Oklahoma was ranked No. 3 in the nation and Stanford was nowhere on the national radar. Injuries derailed the Sooners’ season and Heisman Trophy finalist Toby Gerhart powered the Cardinal to its first bowl game since 2001. However, both teams have something to prove: Oklahoma, that this is a fluke, and Stanford, that this isn’t. Whichever squad has a bigger desire to prove that point will come out on top.

BYU is no stranger to Las Vegas — this marks its fifth straight trip to Sin City for a postseason game — but it’ll face a solid Oregon State squad this year. Last season, Arizona dropped the Cougars in this game, and the Beavers could do the same. James and Jacquizz Rodgers pose problems for every team they face, and this game shouldn’t be any different. BYU isn’t as good as it was last year and Oregon State is better. That should mean a win for the Beavers.

Think USC will be excited to be in the ever-so-prestigious Emerald Bowl that’s played in a baseball stadium? Yeah, didn’t think so. Boston College probably is, and that could make the difference in the game. However, USC might be ticked off and try to run up the score to show this is just a down year. Not even Trojan head coach Pete Carroll knows for sure. The only sure thing in this game is that not many people will really care what happens except for the Golden Eagles.

San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl: Dec. 23, 6 p.m. MST, San Diego, Calif. Qualcomm Stadium — California (8-4) vs. No. 23 Utah (9-3) The other bowl game in San Diego could be just as interesting as the Holiday Bowl. Cal has been up and down, then up then down again this season. Utah ended its regular season with a tough loss to rival BYU and should be psyched up to play in a bowl game. Last year, an equally salty Utes squad downed SEC power Alabama. While this year’s Utah squad isn’t as high-powered, Cal is no Alabama either.

*EagleBank Bowl UCLA is also bowl-eligible, but its fate isn’t yet set in stone. If Army loses to Navy on Saturday, the Bruins would get a bowl bid to the EagleBank Bowl on Dec. 29 at 2:30 p.m. MST at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. to face Temple. If the Black Knights take down the Midshipmen, then Army would face the Owls in the bowl game. Either way, the Bruins proved this year that they likely won’t be in the same situation next bowl season.

More than a rivalry game

FOOTBALL

UA must quiet Suh

continued from page A8 Such a big bowl gives Arizona a new opportunity, a chance to go up against one of college footballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best conferences and one of its historically heralded programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Big-12 has been dominant for so many years, and to get our shot at one of their elite programs historically and getting our shot to show what we got against other conferences will be real cool,â&#x20AC;?senior defensive tackle Donald Horton said. One of the biggest challenges Nebraska (9-2, 6-2 Big 12 Conference) creates is pressure from its defensive line, led by All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist Ndamukong Suh. Suh has had a miraculous season statistically, especially considering he plays defensive tackle. The senior has recorded an astonishing 82 tackles with 12 sacks and an interception. With those numbers and a 6-foot-4, 300-pound frame, the future top-five NFL Draft pick is an imposing player, to say the least. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I watched a little bit of him when I got home (from the USC game) on YouTube. The guy is an animal,â&#x20AC;? Grant said of Suh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of excited, it should be a good matchup.â&#x20AC;? Containing him will be a key for Arizona when the two teams square off on Dec. 30, but the Wildcats seem excited, poised and ready to answer whatever challenge comes their way in the next three weeks. And maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll celebrate a big win like they did after the USC game. When asked how he celebrated the win over the Trojans, Nelson hesitated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No comment,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smirk.

UA, ASU game holds postseason implications

Forward Adam Treptow moves into position to shoot the puck against Weber State last weekend. The Icecats are preparing to play against ranked ASU this weekend in one of the biggest games of the season.

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A chance at a .500 win percentage, redemption against a hated rivalry, the quest for seven straight wins, the opportunity to take out a top-10 team in the country and the chance to hear thousands of Icecat fanatics at the Tucson Convention Center go absolutely buck wild. This just in: the Arizona Icecatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (78) two-game weekend series against Arizona State University (17-3) has enormous implications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows, even before we started playing (Weber State), that this weekend is going to be huge,â&#x20AC;?said sophomore defenseman Geordy Weed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be intense, and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to bring whatever they have to the table.â&#x20AC;? Considering the Icecatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 2-8 start to the season, a chance to reach the .500 mark with more than half of a season to play is a tremendous opportunity. In addition, the American Collegiate Hockey Association rankings system is partially based on strength of schedule. A couple victories against a top10 squad will go a long way for a team that has expected to be battling for a spot at nationals all season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are huge games for us,â&#x20AC;? said junior Jordan Schupan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we want to get peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to beat ASU. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been having a great season, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a different team than we were the first two games of the season.â&#x20AC;? The Sun Devils made easy work of

the Icecats during Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s openingweekend series. But that was an Icecats team without six of its top players and featuring 17 who had yet to play in a collegiate hockey game. Thirteen games later, the team is on a five-game win streak â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during which theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outscored opponents 29-to-10 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and is playing some of its best hockey of the season. The offense has been revived, the goaltending is finally solid and the chemistry couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is probably one of the best camaraderie teams Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been on,â&#x20AC;?said freshman Brian Slugocki. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone

loves each other and we all work together and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really starting to show.â&#x20AC;? For the Icecats, there is a lot riding on this series, and for ASU, a chance at beating Arizona on the road is motivation enough. Both teams will be more than ready. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a sharp, ready-tokick-our-butts ASU team, and I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be out to show them that we can skate with them,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Leo Golembiewski. An empty seat in the TCC will be rare, a moment of silence beyond the National Anthem will be hard to come by, and the intensity level will be at full blast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody knows what ASU

Finding themselves

W-hoops looks to gain stability, identity over the break Arizona’s Jennifer Kioa defends the key against Nevada on Friday. The Wildcats have eight games over winter break, including four against the Pacific 10 Conference.

By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat Of all the questions surrounding Arizona women’s basketball at the beginning of the season, one of the biggest was about what kind of team the Wildcats (5-1) would become. Creating a team identity, a gaping hole for last year’s team, has become a focus for the Wildcats, especially with six new players thrown into the mix. Now, with more than half of the nonconference season over, Arizona must find out what kind of team it will become before the start of Pacific 10 Conference play. “We’re still searching for it,” said head coach Niya Butts. “If we can string a couple games where we kind of look the same … then our identity will start to show itself.” The Wildcats have shown flashes of greatness so far in this brief season, but nothing that solidifies the team as one with a consistent identity. After winning the Iona College Tip-Off Tournament in New Rochelle, N.Y. — including a 75-50 overtime win over the defensive-minded team with particular host Gaels — Arizona was embarrassed at emphasis on using that defense to create San Diego State University, falling 57-38. scoring opportunities. In some games, the Wildcats are spot-on “I think we can be a defensive team that with shooting, lighting up the scoreboard puts pressure,” junior Ibekwe said. “When for most of the game. In others they can MAIL-IN be teams scout us and when they’re about to seen struggling with ball security. play us, they’re going to say Arizona is a “We still are a team that we don’t really defensive team.

currently riding a three-game win streak. Their opposition includes University of California-Riverside, Alabama A&M and former No. 22 Georgia Tech, who dropped out of the AP Top 25 poll this week. Once the conference season tips off against UCLA on Jan. 1, 2010, Arizona must have found itself. By the time the spring semester begins, the Wildcats will already be four games deep into the Pac-10 schedule. Arizona can begin the search for itself tonight when it finishes a two-game home stand at 6 p.m. against New Mexico (5-3). “I think we have to, as a staff, figure out how we’re going to do things night in and night out,” Butts said. “As a player, you have to have that motivation from within that says ‘I want to be the best player that I can possibly be and here are the things I’m going to have to do to make that happen.’ When those things mesh we’re going to be a solid team.”

She attended the University of Texas in Austin majoring in Electrical Engineering before moving to Tucson. She attended Pima Community College here her sophomore year, earning an Associate Degree, entering UA as a Junior. By this time, Laura had changed her major to East Asian Studies (Japan focus) and Communications in hopes of finding a career that would utilize both international and business skills.

No. 22 Arizona vs. No. 20 Nebraska Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final game of the season will also be my last time covering the team, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank them for allowing me go to Las Vegas last year and San Diego this year. Now, this will be strength-on-strength, as UAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potent offense squares off against the Cornhuskersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stingy defense. Really, any Wildcat should be able to navigate a field of husked corn. Plus, there are likely more Wildcats in the San Diego area than there are cornfields, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of an easy one. Arizona 17, Nebraska 10

We all know how good Ndamukong Suh is â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if I had a vote (I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, if you can believe such a thing) Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d vote for him for the Heisman â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and although he will get all of the pregame hype, people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget how good Arizona is. Finishing second in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best conference without its two best players for much or all of the season is remarkable. Fortunately for Arizona, Nic Grigsby, one of those two, will be back, and I expect Nick Foles to find Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next superstar, Big Game Juron Criner, for a score late in the fourth quarter to ice the game. Arizona 23, Nebraska 9

As a senior, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through the years in which Arizona football was nearly irrelevant. Just four years ago, students would much rather wake up at 4 a.m. to wait outside McKale Center than get to a 7 p.m. kickoff in Arizona Stadium on time. But since then, players like Antoine Cason, Spencer Larsen and Mike Thomas have all paved the way for this program to reach the peak itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been trying to attain for the past decade. I certainly didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t predict this scenario four years ago, but speaking for the other Arizona seniors, how fortunate we are to go out like this. Arizona 35, Nebraska 31

Swim and dive to kick it up a notch By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Like most Arizona students, the UA swimmers and divers will travel to their respective destinations for holiday celebrations after finals. But unlike other Wildcat students, the swim and dive team will follow up eggnog and cookies with some of the most rigorous training of the season, beginning Dec. 28. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is pretty much known as the toughest time of the year for training,â&#x20AC;?said senior Jordan Smith.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Normally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubles every day. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lifting, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re swimming every day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough.â&#x20AC;?

Frank Busch and his staff will use the upcoming month off to push their athletes as hard as possible. The team doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about class, and Busch sees it as a time to gear up for the next few months leading up to NCAA Championships in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we need to get some people stronger, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work on that; if we feel we need a little more leg strength, we might increase the kicking volume a little bit,â&#x20AC;&#x153; Busch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired over Christmas break because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about school,â&#x20AC;? he added. The workload will be heavy and

demanding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids pretty much just eat and swim,â&#x20AC;? Busch said. But the athletes on both teams understand how vital these next few months are in preparation for the NCAA Championships. They want to swim fast, and a productive winter break is the first step in doing exactly that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(This month) has a huge impact on the end of the year because in swimming, you really want to push your body,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important right now to think about the future and the end of the season and push yourself.â&#x20AC;?

The Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training will be broken up with a few dual meets in early January. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will host Oregon State and Northern Arizona on Jan. 8 at the Hillenbrand Aquatic Center. The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will follow up with a race against Southern Methodist University the next day. The swimmers will be exhausted during the meets, and the purpose of the competitions isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t to win in dominating fashion, but rather to work on some things in a competitive setting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure there will be some good racing going on, but (winning) certainly wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a priority for us,â&#x20AC;? Busch said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We look at (the dual meets) as ways to get confidence, and sometimes you have to look past the times and focus on what you did well in races,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. The two-a-day practices coupled with constant lifting and running will certainly take their toll on the swimmers, but that hard work will all be worth it when March rolls around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the year when you rest, your body is going to be healing up and all of that work is going to make you in better shape than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to hit it hard and build a good base for NCAA Championships.â&#x20AC;?

Bio Park to bring economic stimulus to surrounding neighborhoods

a conference center, retail and residential development. “We wanted to create an environment similar to main campus but geared specifically towards companies using new technology,” Wright said. In an era of financial constraint, funding for the project did not come easily. “We had to be creative about advancing development of the park,”Wright said.“We were able to acquire the land without any cash by trading land from the original park.” Over the summer, the UA was awarded $4.7 million in stimulus money from the U.S. Department of Commerce , and the Office of University Resource Parks is also bringing in a private funding sector to generate private investment capital. The Bio Park project also receives support from the Southern Arizona Leadership Council, President Robert Shelton and the UA community, the Flinn Foundation, the Arizona BioIndustry Association and others.

The residential neighborhood associations surrounding the site of the Bio Park, including South Park, Monte Vista, Western Hills and Pueblo Gardens, also expressed excitement. “Residential neighborhoods in proximity to the park have been very supportive because they see it as opportunity for new jobs, retail and educational facilities in the area,” Gilbert said. “It gives them a way to become engaged in the bioscience community.” There are roughly 110 bioscience companies in the area and all have been invited to Friday’s event. Wright said the Office of University Resource Parks is in talks with some companies over possible interest in using the park’s facilities, but couldn’t give specific details. “The park’s goal is to understand the needs of the bioscience community — employees, facilities and amenities,” Wright said, “Many UA schools such as agriculture, medicine and engineering are major drivers of bioscience in Arizona, and the Bio Park will strengthen Tucson’s bioscience community.”
