WikiLeaks spills tensions Students

Students will have to deal with long-term effects on US foreign relations By Steven Kwan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Experts at the UA believe that students will, in the long run, have to confront the issues and repercussions raised by the latest actions of WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks is a nonprofit organization whose goal, according to its website, is “to provide an innovative, secure and

anonymous way for sources to leak information” to journalists. It provided more than 250,000 leaked U.S. Department of State communiqués to five newspapers around the world. These newspapers began publishing stories about the documents last week. “I think the biggest long-term effect is going to be a reluctance with the United States govern-

ment to share information with other agencies because of the fear that they’ll be exposed,” said Brint Milward, director of the UA School of Government and Public Policy. One of the main recommendations in The 9/11 Commission Report is that different government agencies must share more information with each other in order to

prevent future terrorist attacks. But the risk of sharing intelligence between agencies, Milward said, is that more people are aware of the information and it can be leaked. Milward said that governments do have to balance the need to maintain confidentiality with the need for openness and transparency. LEAKS, page 12

UMC promotes safe driving By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT University Medical Center joined a new campaign to continue warning Tucsonans about the dangers of unsafe driving. The center is participating in the Picture a Safer Tucson campaign, a public education effort related to the increased enforcement of speeding laws by the Tucson Police Department. UMC will help advertise the dangers of speeding in addition to its billboard campaign against red-light running. Picture a Safer Tucson is a two-year outreach campaign sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Information distributed through the media, advertisements and community partners seek to explain the risks of speeding and why enforcement is necessary. The campaign will later be evaluated to measure the change in the frequency of speeding and crashes to see if public attitudes toward speeding change. “So people aren’t just getting tickets, but there’s understanding of why speeding is a problem,” said Whitney Hayes, communications specialist for Picture a Safer Tucson. Tucson had the second highest rate of motor vehicle crashes in Arizona in 2009, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation Intermodal Transportation Division. There were 9,722 crashes in Tucson, including 27 fatal crashes with 30 resulting fatalities. Driving with a speed too fast for conditions was cited as the most frequent driver violation. Speed was a factor in 16.73

percent of all crashes in Arizona and 15.57 percent of all fatal crashes. The information is used by the campaign to show the danger of speeding. “We’ve been pretty fact heavy because

behaviors,” Judkins said. UMC launched the “Red Means Stop” billboard campaign in 2007 after a study ranked Tucson fourth in the nation for its prevalence of red-light runners. The

we believe the numbers speak for themselves,” Hayes said. Workers at UMC treat many of these crash victims. The center sees 13 serious trauma victims each day, according to Dan Judkins , trauma educator and injury epidemiologist at UMC . He said about 60 percent of these people are injured in motor vehicle crashes. Judkins said speeding and red-light running are significant factors in many of the accidents. “There’s some type of driving culture in Arizona promoting these types of these

billboards outside the medical center and around Tucson serve as a reminder for drivers to consider their safety and the safety of others. “Yeah, it’s irritating if you’re trying to get somewhere,” Judkins said of stopping at a red light. “If you stop, you lose a minute or two in your commute, but it isn’t going to be the end of your day.” The center decided to participate in the Picture a Safer Tucson campaign to continue raising awareness about dangerous driving. The difference between driving 30 mph and 40 mph significantly affects safety, Judkins said. “That extra 10 miles per hour doubles

prefer D2L classes

Some professors feel website unnecessary By Yael Schusterman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT D2L has been a helpful tool for both teachers and students, but when a class does not have one, some students say it can make their lives more difficult. Nicole Gaudette, a microbiology senior, said it is inconvenient not having a class on D2L. Without a class list it becomes difficult to email fellow students about lectures she might have missed, she said. “I physically have to walk up to people and ask for their email addresses rather than sending out a mass email to students who are in my class,” she said. This semester her biostatistics class is not on D2L, but is instead using two separate websites, which Gaudette says can be difficult to keep track of. “Every class on campus should have D2L,” she said. “It’s more convenient having all your classes on one website, and the features like grades and content are helpful. It makes everything easier,” she said. Gaudette thinks the reason some professors don’t utilize D2L is that they may not understand how to use it. In addition to that, she said a lot of professors in the Eller College of Management use Blackboard, a system similar to D2L. Since many professors in the college are using Blackboard, other professors in Eller will not actively try to get onto D2L, according to Gaudette.

Mongolia’s subtle mark on campus By Lívia Fialho ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Among UA’s diverse international population, Mongolia is a minority, with only three students currently on campus. The Asian country, landlocked between Russia and China, sent the first Mongolian student to the department of mining and geological engineering’s graduate program this fall. Khas Mariaviisenge, 27, saw an ad in the paper from Peabody Energy in 2009, the coal company that develops projects in Mongolia, for bachelors in mining. When he attended the meeting, he also met

Mary Poulton, the head of the department. Khas received a full scholarship to seek his master’s degree in mineral resources at the UA. Once he completes his degree, he’ll go back to Mongolia and, depending on his performance here, be hired by the company. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to a guy like me — get here and study,” he said. As part of Peabody’s effort in expanding business in Mongolia, the company wanted to have employees trained in the U.S., Poulton said.

some undergraduates. Khas, who majored in mining engineering in Moscow, had a hard time adjusting to the grade system and the way classes are set up at the UA, with shorter class periods but a lot more homework. He said the biggest difference coming to the U.S. was in class. “Every kid in the world — maybe — is raised on American movies and music, and American media, right? So nothing was really that shocking,” he said. “Just in class, the teachers and students, the communication MONGOLIA, page 3

Ashley Jones

Communication senior

621-3193

What is the hardest class you have going on right now? No doubt, without a question, my stats class for communications. I mean I am in communications for a reason, and one of those reasons was that clearly communications does not involve numbers and equations. But who knew Comm. 228 was one of the hardest classes at this school? Some things in school are just irrelevant. Exactly, I would love to know when I am going to perform a z-score, t-test, chi-square or like variance at any time in my future. Sounds like you are drowning in the sea of statistics. No kidding. There is just so much more to life … Like what? Well, I work for the (Steven M.) Gootter Foundation in Tucson and being there has kind of showed me more to life. What does the foundation do? Their mission is to save lives by defeating sudden cardiac death, by promoting awareness and education about it — stuff like that. Basically a lot of the funds go towards helping people get the defibrillators, the shock tools that everyone sees on television, and they have a surgery where people get one in their chest to prevent sudden cardiac death. Wow, so basically you guys work to get awareness about how deaths are caused? Yeah, it’s not a very talked about subject among all the health concerns out there today. So, it’s a great foundation to get people involved and aware because it is an awful death. That’s awesome. Yeah, it all started from Steve Gootter, who lost his life without warning, and his family wants to help spare the rest of the world from tragic times. How many lives does cardiac arrest take? I think our website says it take(s) 900 lives a day. Do you guys have any events that really involve UA students? There is the Gootter Grand Slam every spring, basically like a tennis tournament fundraiser where anyone can come out and play a couple matches and learn about cardiac death. They also have a nice gala dinner and auction to raise money and get donors more educated. Steve was a famous tennis player, hence the tennis theme. Have you ever won the tournament? (Laughs) God, no. But it’s a lot of fun and the event helps us out so much.

Outraged traveler builds calculator to beat airline baggage fees

Arizona Daily Wildcat Vol. 104, Issue 72

If you’re a budget-conscious traveler planning to fly home for the holidays, chances are you’re dreading those pesky airline baggage fees. Luckily, one man has created a tool to beat the baggage blues, and with his help, a flight with fewer fees is practically in the bag. A little over a year ago, frequent flier Luke Dudley launched LuggageLimits.com, a website for frustrated travelers, featuring a handydandy, flight-specific calculator that figures out how much money different airlines

charge for baggage fees. By typing in the airline, the departure airport and the arrival airport into the calculator, users can compare and contrast baggage fees across more than 175 airlines for free at any given time. Airline baggage fees have steadily increased since they were implemented a few years ago. The New York Times reports that so far this year, airlines have made $1.7 billion off baggage fees alone, since most major carriers now charge anywhere between $15 and $35 per bag.

Given those stats, Dudley said that his online baggagefee calculator — which is also a new iPhone app — may be more useful than ever these days, especially with the holiday travel season in full swing. Dudley, a regular air traveler, doesn’t want jetsetters to go through the same traumatic baggage dilemma he experienced a few years ago while trying to fly back to America from an extended stay in Australia. —AOL News

Border-crossing fear

Travelers avoid driving cars to Mexico for Christmas visits SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The annual Mexican Christmas pilgrimage, traditionally a joyous journey culminating in pozole stew and Nativity re-enactments, is now fraught with fear and foreboding. About a million Mexican immigrants are expected to return to Mexico this month to share the holidays with relatives they left behind years ago. Most are driving. And many, including Sacramento State freshman Alex Rodriguez, wonder if they’ll make it to Christmas dinner without being robbed, shot or kidnapped. “My mom doesn’t want me to drive down there,” said Rodriguez, 18, who was born in Mexico and raised in California. “My uncle was shot to death at 11 a.m. at a carwash in Choix, Sinaloa, in August. My mom said if you’re in the business of drugs, that’s your destiny.” But the menace reaches beyond the drug cartels. The violence that’s claimed more than 28,000 lives in the last four years has spread to Mexico’s highways, where bandits — many posing as state or federal police — have robbed cars with U.S. plates. It has also seeped into the lives of local immigrants and their families. Some who planned to open businesses south of the border gave up when ordered to pay for protection. Others have seen their real estate investments in Mexico plummet. Several say their relatives have received phone calls threatening to kidnap their American cousins for ransom. And nearly everyone has heard stories

of cars hijacked or stopped unless the drivers pay bribes. The Mexican government recognizes the challenges of navigating roads through the drug wars and for the first time has created a network of government escorts and way stations to help guide and protect passengers traveling home for the holiday season. Caravans of five or more vehicles heading into Mexico, particularly the violencetorn states of Sinaloa and Tamaulipas, can receive an escort if they register their routes with the Mexican government. “Nearly everyone’s somehow affected by the fight against drug trafficking and organized crime — they’re trying to co-opt our institutions and eroding

our freedoms by intimidation,” said Carlos Gonzalez Gutierrez, Sacramento’s Mexican consul general. “We are urging people not to drive at night, to use federal highways as much as possible instead of local roads, and not to travel with cash; people can use credit cards on federal toll roads.” But fewer people are making the trek back to his town, Rodriguez said. “Last Christmas, only 50 percent went back.” Although he’s had two family members killed in recent years, and three others shot, Rodriguez will be driving down anyway. “That’s a sure thing,” he said. “I have to visit my family. I’m not going to leave them behind and forget about them.”

about the UA’s program. “When I applied, that’s the only school I knew in the U.S.,” he said. With scholarships from the astronomy department and UA funding for international students, he plans to get his doctorate in the U.S., as his field isn’t one that the Mongolian government invests in, unlike Khas’ case. From the countryside, where most families are nomadic and live in farms largely isolated from each other, Tuguldur now recounts awkward situations during his freshman year, as he tried to adjust to the culture here. In his home country, “there’s no toilet, the restroom is outside. In my freshman year I was peeing in the campus because it was after 5 p.m. and everything was closed. A police

officer cited me,” Tuguldur said. Khas said the reason there aren’t more Mongolian students at the UA is because of a language barrier, where most people don’t speak a foreign language, and the country’s developing stage, becoming a democracy 20 years ago. Also, most parents can’t afford to send their children to study abroad. “People in other countries, some were born rich, because their parents were rich and they inherited it,” he said. “We don’t have nothing like that. “We were democratized from communism, where everybody’s property is state property. Everybody works, but it doesn’t matter how much you work, you get equal amount of salaries. So we don’t have wealth inherited to the next generation.”

said it wasn’t hard to learn,” she said. Voyatzis said she had a graduate student help her set it up. At first, she said it was a little confusing how to enter assignments and weigh grades in D2L, but there are classes on campus to assist professors with the website. Voyatzis said the tool is helpful for both teachers and students. For the teachers, it allows a common place to put assignments and communicate with students, and for students it is a good way to keep track of where they are academically. “It is a new technology, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some colleagues are reluctant to use it,” she said. “Students don’t understand, they are born with computers in their hands, practically.” Before D2L, she said she had handouts that students could purchase with the books for her class. “D2L is a nicer place to be,” Voyatzis

said. “Next semester I am going to teach a course again on D2L, and I’m looking forward to updating and refining it — but it won’t be like starting from scratch.” Charles Scruggs, an English professor who teaches an undergraduate class on World War I literature, does not use D2L. “There is no point in having a D2L for this course. It’s a senior seminar and it focuses on two monster texts,” he said. Scruggs said he hasn’t yet heard a student complain about not having a D2L for his class. “I just use D2L when it is too expensive to buy a book for my class, then I will provide texts for the students.” If students are sick or cannot make it to a class, he advises them to come to his office hours so he can help them catch up. “I’m pretty retro,” Scruggs said. “It is my 44th year here.”

When he arrived, he connected with astronomy senior Sukhbold Tuguldur, one of two Mongolian undergrads at the UA. Tuguldur helped him learn his way around. “At first, I had so many questions,” Khas said. Tuguldur also managed, by chance, to come to the U.S. to earn his degree. Thanks to a meteor shower in Mongolia in 1999, faculty from UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory made a visit to the country, and made contact with local astronomers. This is how Tuguldur learned

DADT policy hearkens back to darker time let them choose whether or not they want to serve with a woman, whether they want to serve with an 18-yearold or a 25-year-old; heck, let’s even let them choose whether they want to serve with a Caucasian, Hispanic or African American. I know we all want to be optimistic and say that racism and sexism are dead, but come on back down to reality, please. Another brilliant idea that has been pushed is “not now.” Many senators and military officials are saying that now is not the time to be repealing the law. Being involved in two wars leaves absolutely no time for such “crackpot” ideas as “equality” and “fairness.” Ignoring this issue will certainly lead to the death of all the progress already made. But if we don’t act now to set right this injustice, we may not be able to

ast Thursday, the Pentagon released its findings about the possible repercussions of gay Americans openly serving in the military and suggested that there was little evidence that efficiency would fall by the wayside as a result. Nonetheless, Sen. John McCain of Arizona made his staunch opposition quite apparent when talking with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, who both defended the report before the U.S. Senate. According to The New York Times, McCain cited a recent Pentagon survey of service members as his main issue of concern. The survey found that 58 percent of Marines and 48 percent of Army combat troops felt that repealing the law would have a negative effect on their unit’s cohesiveness. Gates attempted to refute this by stating that many of those surveyed were young soldiers with limited battle experience, who had never even served with a woman. He said their concerns could be mitigated with time. McCain, being a war veteran himself, had this gem to retort with: “I think they’re mature enough to make a judgment on who they want to serve with and the impact on their battle effectiveness … I speak from personal experience.” Perhaps McCain is on to something here; maybe our soldiers should be able to choose who serves next to them in battle. If Pvt. Johnson doesn’t want a homosexual in his sleeping quarters on the aircraft carrier, why

should he have to put up with it? He is potentially sacrificing his life, and he might have to serve with another American who is sacrificing his or her gay life? If we must allow homosexuals openly in the military, perhaps we could find a way around that whole Brown v. the Board of Education’s “separate and inherently unequal” decision. I suggest constructing entirely gay units. We could call them operation “Rainbow Brigade.” Perhaps we could contract some designer to fashion If we must allow homosexuals pink and white openly in the military, perhaps camouflage for we could find a way around them, too.

he euphoria from the ASU sideline was drowned in a deafening silence. Lost somewhere on the field, head football coach Mike Stoops momentarily bowed his head, a defeated man, his team having lost the last four games of the regular season. In similar fashion, countless fans stood rooted, staring off into the abyss with intense concentration, as if hoping that if they stared long enough and hard enough, they could see the football sail through the uprights, Arizona victorious. All the rage and frustration of an infuriating game was released as 50,000 fans collectively gasped for air, some readying for screams of joy, many more simply left stunned, mouths gaping wide. As for me, all of the synapses in my brain screamed for my body to react in a manner indecent for public consumption, yet my muscles did not respond. I was frozen with thousands of others. A strange feeling of calm enveloped me, my vocal chords spent, my head throbbing. I was left with nothing more than contentment. That moment transcended time, circumstance and indeed sports, providing a rare view into the essence of heartbreak and defeat. In a game that could not have been more excruciating if scripted, against a foe that could not be more hated, Arizona managed to lose again, and I’m OK with that. As ASU players sprinted onto the field and kicker Alex Zendejas slammed his helmet down in disgust, a strange sight drew my attention: a few Arizona players and ASU players embracing around midfield in congratulations of a good game. A select few players from both sides had taken time from the extreme emotion of the situation to play the role of good sportsmen. Amazing. After standing grounded in my own world for several minutes, as the student section emptied around me, I felt strangely compelled to spread goodwill. A small smile crept across my face as the realization hit; it’s just a game, and what a great one, at that. College football is able to ignite so much passion within all of us. It is important to appreciate that the UA, after many desperate years, even has a good football team, and yes, I do consider our team to be good despite the recent woes. Brought back to reality, I wandered over to the ASU section to see a friend from Tempe. Along the way, I had several friendly chats with ASU fans musing humorously about the ineptitude of our kicking game and the crazy ending to the game. Every friendly interaction with the people that minutes before represented the enemy, was interestingly fulfilling. Every moment bringing my mind more at peace with what just transpired. Arriving at home, I logged onto Facebook and was instantly swamped with a news feed full of Zendejas hatred. It’s easy to see why the kicker is the loneliest position in sports; success is expected and when the game is on the line, failure is cause for complete responsibility; ask Kyle Brotzman from Boise State. If you want to hate on Zendejas, hate first on a defense that continues to make boneheaded penalties after critical stops to keep the opponents’ offense moving toward the end zone. Hate on an offense that seems not to realize that football is a game of four quarters. Hate on a coaching staff that calls four straight runs and turns the ball over when the run game had been going nowhere all night. Hate the entire special teams squads of Arizona, which seem to consistently regress as the year progresses, and hate on me for telling you not to hate on Zendejas. The kid doesn’t deserve it. I invite everyone who would condemn Zendejas to go to team try-outs next year and kick your heart out. Maybe next year we will blame you. Me? I’m content. Content that my football team is better than average, and headed to another bowl game. Content that we are a couple of weeks removed from the most magical time of the year, and content that we all can enjoy those moments that transcend the game and fill the heart with satisfaction. Win or lose, we are the UA. We are defined by much more than a game, and indeed a kicker. As we approach finals and the end of the semester, remember what we have and what we are afforded. In this higher institution of learning, which we attend to advance the quality of our lives, much is taken for granted. The moment Arizona lost, everything stood still. Out of defeat came an idea, an idea that the game was not the end of the world but in fact a moment to reflect. There is always next year. I wish good luck to all on finals and a merry winter break to everyone. Bear down Arizona!

MAILBAG Football backlash inappropriate

Recently, I have been more than disappointed with the attitudes of students on campus over the UA versus ASU (football) game. I am someone who is a very big football fan and have supported the Wildcats through thick and thin, which is something that all students should do. After the game on Thursday, I was not too disappointed with the score of the game, but

rather how UA students chose to act. On Facebook, I received numerous invitations to groups entitled “Zendejas blows, my grandma can kick better than you” and “Betty White can kick better than Alex Zendejas” — these are just a few examples of the ridiculous groups that were made. As cliché as this may sound, there is no “I” in team, and we should not put the blame of the game on one individual.

Despite my sadness about the loss to ASU, it made me entirely disappointed to see how students reacted to the game and the lack of sportsmanship and support that students showed. Next time, students should remember the good things that players did during games instead of the negative things. —Chava Lederman Pre-elementary education sophomore

UA&E By Miranda Butler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The holidays are a great time of year for college students. We finally have the opportunity to ask for things we’ve been wanting all year, but just can’t afford. However, gifting goes both ways — so on a tight budget, shopping for our friends and family quickly gets overwhelming and expensive. Do not despair. Here are some sentimental gifts that your family will especially adore and your wallet will thank you for.

A guide to cheap holiday gifts

The gift CD

Your friends and family alike are sure to love this one. A throwback to the classic mixed tape, make an awesome playlist and burn CDs for your friends. Dedicate a song to each person, and then create a CD booklet using a template from word-processing or photo-editing software. Write a little

something to each friend about why their song reminds you of them, and then wrap up the booklets with the CDs. Your friends are sure to appreciate some new tunes and meaningful shout-outs.

Framed photos

Be careful with this one, because if you have a significant-other with commitment issues, a framed photo of you two would definitely freak them out. But for siblings and parents, this idea is a classic. Save money by picking out a oneof-a-kind frame at a thrift store or garage sale, and then print out a photo that’s meaningful to you and the recipient. You can also take this idea in a more personal direction by picking out a plain frame and writing on or decorating it.

Picture calendars

This is perfect for grandparents, aunts and uncles. If your photo editing software has a template for creating calendars, you’re

in business. And even if you don’t, photo kiosks at pharmacies or copy shops make this one cheap and easy to do. Go through family photos — of yourself, your siblings, your cousins or whomever, and pick one out for each month. They’ll appreciate just about any pictures that you have, Especially if you don’t see your relatives very often. Putting a picture calendar together is a nice way to show your extended family what you’ve been up to since you last saw them.

Slide show or video

You can take this one in several different directions to make it appropriate for friends, parents and family members. Use movie-making software or a quick and easy website to create a video slide show of photos with your favorite songs in the background. Overlay the video with text to explain your photos and reminisce about good times. Then, burn your finished product to a CD or DVD and give it to a friend — or email it across the country to members of your extended family.

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a $1,000 pressure sprayer?

A truck was stolen from a UA parking lot sometime between Tuesday and Wednesday. A UA student called the University of Arizona Police Department at 8:15 a.m. on Wednesday to report that his truck was missing from where he parked it. The student still had his keys. The car was described as a white Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck that was owned by the UA. It was issued a university vehicle number and also had red and blue striping along both sides of the body. In the bed of the truck was a carbon dioxide pressure sprayer, valued at $1,000. There were also tools in it that were valued at about $1,000. There was no evidence left at the scene. A UAPD officer checked for the truck in other parking lots and did not find it.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what parking brakes are for

A Ford Mustang was parked in a UA parking lot on Wednesday, when it unexpectedly rolled out of its parking space and ran into a parking meter, causing it to bend and dislodge from the parking lot. An officer arrived at 9 a.m. and contacted a Parking and Transportation Services employee. He told the officer that the Mustang had been parked over two separate parking spaces. The employee noticed this and also saw that it was parked up against a parking meter. The car struck the meter with enough force when it rolled back that it pushed the meter over at an approximate 45-degree angle. The base of the meter was torn out of the asphalt. The driver of the car was not at the scene at the time, because he was in class. A check of the UA student phonebook showed that the registered owner was a student in the College of Nursing. Officers were unable to contact the owner at the time. The student called the police officers back at 2:18 p.m. He said that he had just gotten back to his car and saw the note left by PTS. The student said he had not parked his car in that spot, but that he had actually parked somewhere nearby. He thought his vehicle may have rolled because his parking brake may not have been secured. An officer requested that the student stay by his car, and they would come and talk to him. Once they met, the student explained that he had not parked his car there. He pointed to a parking spot two rows over, and said that was where he had parked. He said that he believed his parking brake might have not been working, especially since his car had a manual transmission. The officer spoke with an employee from PTS, who said he would remove the boot and fees associated and dismiss the parking tickets that had been issued to the student. UA Risk Management & Safety will be advised regarding the damage. They will contact the student if any problems arise regarding the parking meter and the asphalt. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

your chance of dying or having serious injuries (in a crash),” he said. Billboards, advertisements and public service announcements will convey the message. “In every venue we can, we’ll say the same thing for the next couple of years,” Judkins said. The campaign is also working to promote the message to students through an internship search and poster competition. Students can design a poster discouraging speeding, especially in males 18 to 34 years old, to be printed and distributed. Engineering freshman Eric Watters said he occasionally speeds to keep up with the flow of traffic, or when he is in a hurry. He said seeing statistics about the danger of speeding might affect his behavior. “I think it would have a small effect,” Watters said. “Just knowing the risk and having all the numbers would help to make better decisions.” Elizabeth Riedel, a junior studying nursing and religious studies, said she normally goes about five miles over the speed limit to stay with the flow of traffic and frequently witnesses dangerous driving. “People will be very impatient when you’re in a right turn lane,” Riedel said. “They’ll speed up after you and go 60 (mph) on a city street.” She said the effectiveness of the campaign will vary from person to person. “I think some speeders may take heed because they’re not impatient. It’s just a bad habit,” Riedel said. “I think some people are stubborn and will continue to speed even if they know the danger.”

Hard foul

Balanced Arizona men’s basketball team drops Sooners By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Balance, balance, balance. Inside and outside of the paint , head coach Sean Miller ’s Arizona Wildcats controlled the Oklahoma Sooners. Across the roster, Arizona only had two double-digit scorers, but also saw five players record eight or nine points. The Wildcats (7-1) earned a firm victory on Sunday at McKale Center, beating the Big 12 Conference Sooners 83-60 while also giving the Pacific 10 Conference a much-needed win against a team from another of the big six conferences. And once again, it came behind a complete team effort. “We have a lot of diversity in our offense right now,” Miller said. “We’re not a jump-shooting team, but yet we shoot a good percentage from 3 (point range). We’re a team that can get to the foul line. We can score close to the basket, although we don’t have like the true low-post scorer. “We get offensive rebounds. We can strike you in transition,” he continued. “We’re getting contributions from a lot of players.” Up to this point, only once has an Arizona Wildcat player seen action for 30 or more minutes in a game — Solomon Hill played 30 minutes against New Mexico State University. It’s a testament to Miller’s vision of sending waves of defenders at opponents. Sophomore Derrick Williams led the Wildcats with 16 points, shooting only 4-for-6 from the field and scoring seven points from the free throw line. He was the focus of OU double teams and also was limited by four fouls. The scoring was so balanced for the UA that the only other double-digit scorer was Hill with 10 points, five rebound and three assist performance. But Williams’ presence also opened a 3-point barrage for the Wildcats, who finished shooting

Arizona football is stuck. Friday’s heartbreaking loss to ASU was the exclamation point to a season that exposed the Wildcats as a team swaying between mediocrity and elite status. Head coach Mike Stoops struggled for an answer when he was asked whether or not 2010 would be seen as a successful season for his team. He answered with a cliché, saying, “Success is defined in a

clotheslined Williams on a dunk attempt after Williams stole a pass

A tweeter asked @WildcatHoops: “Is Oklahoma’s Nick Thompson the new Aubrey Coleman?” Two seasons ago, Coleman, a Houston forward, stomped on ex-Wildcat Chase Budinger ’s face to become pivotal — both physically and figuratively — to save a reeling season into a Sweet 16 run. Yesterday McKale Center felt a similar vibe, the tension and adrenaline fueled from an altercation. Running back to defend a fast break, Thompson threw down UA stud Derrick Williams in the first half. Williams fell hard. UA forward Kyryl Natyazhko ran over to protect his teammate and drew a technical foul in the dust-up. Fans chanted “kick him out!” “I saw a replay. I thought it was intentional,” Williams said. “I guess that’s how they played. They played like that the whole game. He pushed me on my back going for the dunk. If I see someone going up for a dunk, I wouldn’t push them in the back.”

When the nation thought Arizona was ready to finally take that leap after a 7-1 start, the Wildcats fell off the map into oblivion. But as former Arizona Cardinals head coach Denny Green once emphatically said, “They are who we thought they were.” Arizona is going to its third consecutive bowl game, but its epic fallout in the last four games of the season further proved why people don’t mention the Wildcats in the national scheme of things.

BRIEF

Alamo Bowl-bound By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Wildcats will match up with the No. 14 Oklahoma State Cowboys in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 29 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The meeting will be the first of three between the Wildcats and Cowboys over the next three years, and it will be the first between the two schools since 1942. “For us, it’s going to be a great honor playing such a great opponent. So again, we are going to be very excited to represent our school and the Pac-10,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “San Antonio is a great destination point, and I know our players and fans will be excited about such a great game.” The selection marks Arizona’s (7-5, 4-5 Pacific 10 Conference) third straight bowl game appearance. The Wildcats finished the season 0-4 after starting the season 7-1. This year, the Alamo Bowl

replaced the Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl as the bowl for the second place team in the Pac-10. The Alamo Bowl paid the conference $3 million for the spot. “It’s great to be the first league team to play in this first year of Alamo Bowl affiliation with the conference,” Stoops said. “Our players are excited to be playing in an outstanding bowl against a quality opponent like Oklahoma State.” OSU finished the season with two losses, including a tie-breaker to Oklahoma to decide the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship. This will be OSU’s third appearance in the Alamo Bowl, but the Cowboys have not had much success, posting a 0-2 record. The Cowboys lead the nation in total offense with 537.6 yards per game and a second ranked passing game with 354 yards per game. OSU also totes the Big 12 leading rusher Kendall Hunter. All time, the Wildcats and Cowboys are tied all 3-3.

Volleyball makes first-round exit from NCAA Tournament By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT For the second straight year, the Arizona volleyball team was bounced in the first round of the NCAA Tournament when the No. 20 Wildcats fell 3-1 to Northwestern on Friday in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Northwestern got out of the starting block fast, jumping out to a 2-0 lead at intermission by winning the first two sets by a combined 12 points over Arizona. “It almost felt like we got ambushed, and that’s my fault,” said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio. “Even though I thought we were prepared tactically, I thought they were a step quicker than we were. They got us off our game from the beginning because of the serving.” Northwestern had only three service aces in the match, but Rubio said his team wasn’t prepared for how aggressive the Wildcats from Evanston, Ill., were with their serves.

“Offensively we struggled, but a lot of that was because we didn’t handle the serve very well,” Rubio said. “Our blocking also wasn’t very efficient, and we got steamrolled there for the first two games.” Offensive struggles were a theme of the night. Senior outside hitter Whitney Dosty had 19 kills, but only senior Tiffany Owens and junior Cursty Jackson were able to reach double-digits with her — both racked up 10 kills. On top of struggling to spread around the offense, Arizona hit only .221 compared to Northwestern’s .364. After not being competitive in the first two games, Arizona came out of intermission and won the third set behind some adjustments from Rubio. However, Northwestern came out with some adjustments of its own in the fourth set, and was able to put Arizona away. “In game three, I thought we

turned the corner,” Rubio said. “In game four, we didn’t get the right matchups, and we just couldn’t create enough opportunities for us.” Ultimately, Arizona’s season came down to missed chances, and that was more than evident in the team’s final match of the season. The Wildcats totaled 24 errors, while Northwestern had only 19 miscues — nine of which were while serving. “There were plenty of times that we could have scored and we didn’t,” Rubio said. “It just wasn’t our night, unfortunately.”

Wildcats unable to enter elite status

Gordon Bates/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Running back Keola Antolin took the starting job from senior Nic Grigsby in the middle of the season, but Arizona’s running game struggled to find any consistency this season. Inconsistency was a theme for the WIldcats this year after a four-game losing streak spoiled a 7-1 start.

They aren’t quite ready. It’s easy to play the what-if game: What if Arizona beat Oregon State earlier in the season? What if the Wildcats showed up against Stanford and USC? What if Arizona held onto its first-half lead against Oregon for 60 minutes? What if Alex Zendejas could kick an extra point? It even dates all the way back to last season. What if Arizona didn’t allow Oregon to come back from down two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to knock the Wildcats out of Rose Bowl contention? But the real question is: What if Arizona was good enough to not let those so-called “unfortunate events” happen? This is what the Wildcats are — a good team that can’t quite make it to greatness. It was easy to fall into the trap that the 2010 Wildcats were a great team. They jumped out to their best start since 1999 (40) and beat then-No. 9 Iowa along the way. But when you really think about it, should Arizona realistically have been expected to beat one of the best Stanford

teams in recent memory? Is losing to a talented USC team that beat up on the Wildcats for so long, really that big of a disappointment? Should Arizona have been expected to hang with the best Oregon team ever? The ASU loss on Friday and the Oregon State debacle earlier in the season were definitely the sore spots of the season. But in total, the Wildcats still are what they’ve always been. Arizona isn’t a football school, and 7-5 isn’t the end of the world considering the Wildcats’ past standards. The loss to ASU sent Arizona a step back heading into 2011, but Arizona simply isn’t ready to live up to the Rose Bowl hype that surrounded training camp. The Wildcats don’t have the mentality of a great team. The talent is there and it shines bright in spurts. But 2010 will once again be remembered as another one of those seasons that got away. So many big games and so many seasons have evaporated that it’s fair to say that Arizona isn’t ready for primetime. — Mike Schmitz is a marketing junior.

Giants rout Redskins, grab share of NFC East lead

Williams handling the spotlight

An animated Sean Miller said he wanted officials to review the replay but, “they don’t listen to me. I’m honestly like someone in the eighth row eating popcorn.” Oklahoma coach Jeff Capel shared a different perspective. “It was a hard foul. How do you foul Derrick Williams? Do you foul him soft?” he said. “There was nothing intentional or malicious intended by Nick (Thompson) on that play.” Arizona maintained a cushy double-digit lead throughout the game. The crowd maintained a vicious hatred toward Thompson. Every time he touched the ball, they booed. “It was kinda like watching

LeBron (James) play back in Cleveland every time he touched the ball,” said UA wing Solomon Hill. The Budinger-Coleman altercation two years ago grabbed 6 million views on YouTube after popular sports blogs and websites linked to the video. While much of the attention was raceoriented — which went as far as prompting the FBI to investigate threatening emails and phone calls — yesterday’s hard flagrant foul against Williams could serve as a rallying point or reinforcement to Arizona’s chemistry. “To me it’s one of many plays this year that will be talked about,” Miller said. “You don’t want to see plays like that.”

Williams once again carried the load, delivering a 16-point, 4-rebound performance after a week of national accolades. Basketballprospectus.com even made a case for Williams as national player of the year thus far. “I think every game I’m going to have a target,” Williams said. “Whatever team we play, I’m going to see double teams and traps.” Hill added: “People are going to go after him.”

MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Philadelphia Eagles’ sole possession of first place in the NFC East lasted just a few days thanks to a workmanlike effort by the New York Giants and a less-than-inspired performance by their opponent. The Giants moved into a tie for first with the Eagles after Sunday’s 31-7 win over the visiting Washington Redskins at the New Meadowlands Stadium with the same old gusty wind patterns. Both the Eagles and Giants are 8-4. On Thursday, the Eagles moved into first place alone with their 34-24 win over the Houston Texans. The Giants insisted that Thursday’s result didn’t alter their outlook on their matchup with the Redskins. No one needed to be reminded how important it was to win and keep pace with the Eagles, who beat the Giants, 27-17, on Nov. 21. “We knew three weeks ago when we lost to them (what the Giants are up against),” said Giants linebacker Keith Bullock, who had one of his team’s four fumble recoveries. “We don’t need a weekly reminder.” The rematch with the Eagles is Dec. 19 at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Before that, the Giants visit Minnesota and the Eagles travel to Dallas. “If we don’t win, it doesn’t’ matter who else loses or wins, it doesn’t help us,” said Giants offensive tackle Kareem McKenzie. At least on this day, there was no looking past the Redskins. One thought that can’t be comforting to Eagles fans is that the Giants close the season in Washington. Any realistic hope of the postseason for Washington (5-7) was erased with Sunday’s listless performance. This is the same Redskins team that got bludgeoned by the Eagles, 59-28, on Nov. 15 and has lost four of its last five. The Giants scored on their first two possessions, forced six Redskins turnovers, and continued a frustrating first season in the nation’s capital for former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb compared his current team to the 1999 Eagles that went 5-11 his rookie season. “It is very similar, I believe it is, but as a player I don’t want to be back in that situation again, waiting to see until next year,” said McNabb, who completed 26 of 44 passes for 296 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He also a fumble. “We have talent here.” That might be subject to interpretation. The Skins also were missing Albert Haynesworth, as the highly paid defensive lineman was deactivated for the game. McNabb said he didn’t know Haynesworth wouldn’t play until right before the game. Redskins coach Mike Shanahan says that Haynesworth was sick and didn’t practice Friday. “Without practicing Friday and (on) Thursday not having one of his better practices, we kept him inactive,” Shanahan said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;To relay everything you know, everything you believe, or everything you feel all the time makes it very difficult for people to interact with you, because not everybody else is anywhere near that open and would even appreciate being that open,â&#x20AC;? Milward said. As an analogy, Milward said you may be taking a class required for your major, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to walk into the professor â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and tell him you think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terrible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Likewise in foreign affairs, we may not like it, but there are people who are very powerful or who control resources that are really critical to the United States, and we may have to be nice to them in a way that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter or we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care or we had no relationship with them,â&#x20AC;? Milward said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying, oh my goodness, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shared information too widely, now we need to contain it and keep it where it was collected,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if it is the state department, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep it in the state department, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

share with the CIA, we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t share with the FBI. That may be just as harmful as the openness that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in terms of sharing internally within the government.â&#x20AC;? David Cuillier, an assistant professor of journalism and the Freedom of Information Committee chairman for the Society of Professional Journalists, believes what WikiLeaks did is primarily an ethical issue. But what most concerned Cuillier is how certain information is handled online. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Internet is causing all sorts of new challenges that students are going to have deal with. Already, students deal with it all the time: cyber bullying, what people post on Facebook about them â&#x20AC;Ś things that get online that will haunt them their whole lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So this information is power. This sort of thing could lead to wars,â&#x20AC;? Cuillier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening now could determine whether or not people here on campus are working in the suburbs five years from now or slogging through a jungle in Korea.â&#x20AC;?

Q Is masturbation unhealthy? A. Fantastic question! The short answer is no, with some rare exceptions. While it was once regarded as taboo, the “five digit disco” is now considered to be a normal, healthy sexual activity that is fulfilling, acceptable, and safe. Masturbation is defined as self-stimulation of the genitals to achieve pleasure or orgasm. It can be performed by touching, stroking, or massaging the penis or clitoris until an orgasm is achieved. According to WebMD, in a national study, 95% of males and 89% of females reported that they have masturbated. Research has shown that “self-love” can have a number of healthy benefits. Masturbation... • relieves stress and tension. • is a natural sleep sedative. • builds muscle tone in the genital region. • releases endorphins which boost your mood. • is safe! There’s no risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Masturbation becomes an issue when it starts to interfere with academics, work, social life, physical health, or emotional well-being. Some cultures or religious practices place a stigma on masturbation that one should feel guilty or

shameful after pleasuring themselves. If masturbation negatively impacts your life or you use it as an escape to avoid issues such as loneliness, anger, resentment, etc., then it may be helpful to discuss and reevaluate your behavior with a counselor, health care provider, or a trusted friend. We are often asked if a person can pleasure oneself “too much.” There is no definitive answer, but as long as masturbation does not interfere with your daily activities, it can be done once, or even multiple times per day. Masturbation can serve as a means of empowerment by helping you feel better about your body, genitals, and sexual response. In addition, masturbation increases your sexual awareness, giving you the opportunity to discover what turns you on, boosting your sexual confidence. Again, if masturbating produces negative health outcomes for you, seek advice at the Counseling and Psychological Services office, located on the third floor of Campus Health.

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Junior Kyle Fogg drives inside in Arizona’s 83-60 win over Oklahoma in McKale Center yesterday. The Wildcats have benefited greatly from their depth this season and that was never more apparent than in the victory over the Sooners.

Jones’ tempo at the point key to victory

with 13:46 remaining in the first half, sending Williams to the floor. A brief altercation ensued and UA center Kyryl Natyazhko received a technical foul in the aftermath. It was a play symbolizing the physicality of the game. Leading the Sooners and battling Arizona’s Williams in the paint was Andrew Fitzgerald, a 6-foot-8, 231-pound rugged interior player. He scored 11 points in each half on 8-for-13 shooting from the field while playing all but two minutes. “Our defense wasn’t as good as it’s been, partly because Andrew Fitzgerald was really tough tonight,” Miller said. Despite the big man’s efforts, Arizona beat the Sooners with 32 points in the paint to OU’s 14. They also shut down the Sooners on the perimeter, with senior Cade Davis of Oklahoma finishing with only nine points. The Wildcats built a 21-9 lead on Williams’ first field goal, an And 1 bucket and following free throw with 10 minutes to go in the half. The Wildcats would go into the halftime break with a 40-28 advantage thanks to smooth ball movement, which led to a 58 percent shooting clip. Point guard Momo Jones came out aggressively in the second half, penetrating the lane for an assist to Hill and then a spinning layup four minutes into the period. He followed that up by driving and kicking out to Parrom for a 3-pointer and again blowing past defenders for another lay-up. “His pushes have purpose,” Hill said. “He’s really pushing to find people. It’s either he’s finding someone open on the wing, or he’s right at the rim.”

Jones was accountable for nine of the first 11 points of the second half. But after he exited, the Wildcats kept the momentum going. Freshman Jordin Mayes found Brendon Lavender for a 2-point jumper on the fast break following a defensive stop, building the Wildcat lead to 56-38. The largest Arizona lead of 23 came on a Hill 3-pointer off a Jones assist with 8:47 left in the game, then again before the final buzzer. Looking forward, Miller said that the true test for his team is to play consistently well with a 10-man rotation over the course of not a few weeks, but a few months. “Everybody’s drinking the Kool-Aid,” Miller said. “Can we be that same tough-minded defensive team that’s on the right track?”

QUICK SHOTS • Arizona out-rebounded the physical Sooners 31-21. • Miller on Derrick Williams’ foul trouble: “My concern in coaching Derrick is, are we coaching him to not foul? We’re working on ways we have to coach him. He still can get a lot smarter on defense.” • The Wildcats recorded 20 assists and 10 turnovers, a 2:1 ratio.
