Make-A-Wish Foundation visits sorority that helps raise $1 million a year
Tattoo removal first step to new life for some By Michelle Weiss and Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT While times may change, a tattoo won’t. Getting a girlfriend or boyfriend’s name emblazoned on your arm may seem like a great idea, the relationship may not last forever, even if the tattoo does. Jennifer Allison, a physician’s assistant at Pima Dermatology, is in the business of fixing tattoo mistakes. “Some people aren’t with the person whose name is on their arm anymore,” Allison said. “Others were maybe into drugs or had a little more of a wild side when they were young, and now have children asking them, ‘Daddy, what’s that on your arm?’” Getting a tattoo and later removing it is irresponsible and a waste of money, said Austin Kelly, an applied mathematics senior. “I think they’re just trying to fix a mistake they made earlier in their life.” Allison has worked with victims of abuse, some of whom have had “property of” and a person’s name tattooed on them. Many of these victims also cover up their scars with a tattoo. She has seen ex-gang members, who want to start over with their lives but have been branded by tattoos. She even treated a refugee from Ecuador, who had been brought into a gang, held down and tattooed on his face before he came to the U.S. looking for a job. “He couldn’t get a job in the U.S. after escaping here because he had tattoos,” she said. “Now this man got a job, got married, had children and is very successful.” People may not be aware of the health risks involved

David Williams, CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, visited the Chi Omega sorority house on Tuesday night. Williams visited to thank the sorority for its contributions to the Phoenix based non-profit organization.
By Alexander Vega ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The president and CEO of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America, David Williams, thanked the women of the UA chapter of the Chi Omega sorority for their service and fundraising late Tuesday. Williams spoke on campus at the Chi Omega chapter house to an audience of more than 50 Chi Omega sisters. It was the first time as CEO that Williams spoke to an individual Chi Omega chapter about the foundation. Sisters crowded on the common room floor in order to see the CEO’s presentation after exceeding seating capacity. “It’s an honor,” said Nicole Tolhurst, Chi Omega philanthropy chairwoman. “It’s a national sorority and he’s speaking to us out of everybody.”
Chi Omega donates all the money they make in fundraising events to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Tolhurst said. At the UA, the Zeta Beta chapter of Chi Omega holds two major fundraising events each year, a concert in the fall and a football tournament in the spring. Members of the UA Chi Omega chapter have an annual goal to try and raise at least $5,000 for the foundation, Tolhurst said. Alyssa Mccutcheon, former Chi Omega president and philanthropy chairwoman, said she was happy to see that Chi Omega’s actions being recognized on a larger scale. “Chi Omega is a great group,” Williams said. “We’re very fortunate to get their help.” Since partnering with the Makea-Wish Foundation in 2002, the national Chi Omega sorority has raised about $1 million each year,
Williams said. Nationally, Chi Omega has volunteered over 440,000 hours for the foundation. Williams emphasized the importance of Chi Omega’s contribution to the foundation, comparing the contributions of the sorority to Macy’s and other large corporations. Williams spoke to the chapter casually, without a tie and with his sleeves rolled up, about the importance of service and working for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Williams urged the sisters of Chi Omega to consider volunteering and even making a profession out of working in a nonprofit organization. “Service can be part of a requirement for a school or organization and that’s fine,” Williams said. “I encourage service because it’s one of the greatest things you can do.” About 25 Chi Omega alumnae
work at the Make-a-Wish Foundation national headquarters and Williams said he always likes seeing Chi Omega members apply for internships and positions. Williams’ presentation consisted of a video showing two “wish stories,” and he reflected on his time as CEO about the importance of the Make-A-Wish Foundation in children’s lives. Williams said his favorite wish story he’s heard of is always the most recent one he’s heard of. “Hopefully they’ll be energized while they’re here,” Williams said about the impact of his speech on the local chapter. “You can make a difference just by being a neighbor.” If students would like to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation and play some football, Chi Omega will be hosting the Chi O Kickoff Classic 2011 on Mar. 6 on the UA Mall, Tolhurst said.
Manual against mini-dorms
Tattoos for Jews By Eliza Molk ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
City Council gives preliminary approval to design measures By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A design manual limiting the construction of mini-dorms near the UA is one step closer to being passed after receiving the City Council’s preliminary approval last Tuesday. Multiple-bedroom mini-dorms typically house students and have been a point of contention in the Jefferson Park neighborhood for more than 10 years. The council approved homeowner recommendations for limiting construction and renovation in categories like house size, height and architectural style over less stringent suggestions from developers and City of Tucson staff. Developers sought to make all construction restrictions advisory while the council approved them as mandatory. Local developer Michael Goodman said the manual would severely limit development and therefore housing options for students. Goodman builds mini-dorms in the neighborhood and said they provide a necessary service to the city. “I’m building projects that are nicer than anything in that neighborhood,”

he said. The approval is encouraging, said Bob Schlanger, a Jefferson Park resident and a member of the design manual’s advisory board. He said the manual faces several more steps before actually being passed. “Yes, it’s a good sign and a positive move, but it’s by no means the end of the line,” Schlanger said. The council voted 5-2 to give preliminary approval to the measure, though it will have to come back to the council for final approval at a later date. Councilman Steve Kozachik and Mayor Bob Walkup voted against the standards. Kozachik said the council had three options: pass standards suggested by developers, homeowners or the city. He said reaching a consensus between the developers and homeowners is impossible, though they have met for more than a year to discuss the manual. “Both sides are at the point where they’re at such a level of animosity with the other that trying to get them into the same room at the same time to reach a compromise just isn’t going to be productive,” Kozachik said. Kozachik said the suggestions of homeowners would leave the city vulnerable

to being sued. Goodman has already sued the city under Proposition 207, the Private Property Rights Protection Act. The act requires the government to provide compensation to property owners when laws or regulations reduce property values. “I’ve already filed four lawsuits against the city and now I’m going to have to file another one,” Goodman said. Kozachik said Goodman currently has a lawsuit against the city for over $3 million regarding the design manual passed in Feldman’s neighborhood. He said the City of Tucson staff recommendations were a compromise between the groups and may protect the city from another legal battle. “They (the recommendations) were kind of a middle ground between the neighborhood and the developers,” Kozachik said. “According to the city attorney, the more restrictive you make the building codes, the more vulnerable you are to being sued successfully.” Schlanger said homeowners were adamant that their input become mandatory in the manual.
While Jewish law explicitly prohibits having a tattoo, there is no basis for restricting burial rites for Jews who violate this rule, contrary to popular myth. The Torah, or written Jewish law, states “you shall not make gashes in your flesh for the dead, or incise any marks on yourselves: I am the Lord.” This, as well as the Jewish concept that Jews are created b’tzelem Elokim or “in the image of God,” is sometimes interpreted to mean Jewish people are banned from getting tattoos, according to information provided by the Hillel Foundation. While, in Judaism, voluntary tattooing shows disrespect for the gift that is the body, it is no worse then violating any other “halacha,” or Jewish laws. “In Judaism, sins aren’t weighted. They are all things that you are not supposed to do,” said Laura Wilson Etter, the director of engagement at Hillel Center. She explained that eating pork (prohibited in Jewish dietary law), or not keeping Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, is just as sinful as getting a tattoo. Regardless, it is “more important to be doing Mitzvot (good deeds) than to worry about what you have done wrong,” according to Wilson Etter.

GSPC expresses concerns over bundling of library, IT fees Members of the Graduate and Professional Student Council expressed their dissatisfaction with how budget cuts will be affecting library and information technology fees during their latest meeting on Tuesday. Carla Stoffle, the dean of the libraries, explained that libraries at the UA are expecting a 5 percent budget cut for next fiscal year and she and the library committee are brainstorming ways to minimize the effects on customers, namely professional and graduate students. Stoffle said the new library fee will be at least $83, but could change depending on final budget figures. She also said they are willing to span the fee over the course of two years. Stoffle explained library fees at the UA are low in comparison to other universities, although that doesn’t make a fee increase “any better.” A long-term solution, Stoffle said, would be to invest
development in fundraising and increase endowments, as well as creating a one-credit course designed to coincide with English 102 that utilizes library resources. This, she said, would help generate instructional dollars. No final decision about the new library fee has been made yet, according to Stoffle. Emily Connally, GPSC president, said graduate and professional students make great use of the library and its resources, and that the money the library is asking for is such a “small amount compared to others.” She said her greatest concern is that, because IT and library fees are bundled, the two would increase together, even though she admitted some IT fees are necessary for library services. “Whether we show it or not, we (graduate and professional students) are very grateful (for the library and its services),” Connally said. The council was also concerned with the IT fee and the lack of benefits graduate and professional students

The different removal treatments depend on how long the tattoo has been on your skin and how big it is, according to museumoftattoos.com. Tattoo removal procedures include laser removal, tissue expansion, dermabrasion, surgical excision, and chemical peels and creams. Kelly has a tattoo and said he does not regret his decision. His tattoo is something he will still be proud of 50 years down the line, he said. “Normally every tattoo I get is symbolic in some way,” he said. Tattoos are no longer viewed as permanent at Pima
continued from page 1 “We would rather not have the NPZ (Neighborhood Preservation Zone) at all if it doesn’t have all the recommendations we made,” Schlanger said. Schlanger said the zoning administrator hearing may be held in March with the final hearing in mid-May. “We’re encouraged slightly,” Schlanger said. “We’re still a long way from getting the mayor and council from approving it.”
Other council business:
• Kimberly Chapman, the campus repository manager, asked GPSC if they would be interested in establishing an ongoing student collection in the repository. • The Library Research and Grant Support Services will be conducting surveys to look at ways to become more effective in research and grant support to graduate and professional students and faculty. • Graduate and professional student appreciation week is April 10-16.

The prohibition against tattoos applies to any permanent mark made to the skin. Hand stamps or other temporary decorations are not considered to be desecrating the body. The Mishnah, another book of Jewish law, prohibits “anything that leaves a lasting mark” that is man-made. Max Rusinov, Hillel’s Israel fellow, said that tattoos are a symbol of slavery. For example, during the Holocaust, the Auschwitz concentration camp prisoners received number tattoos as a form of identification. This helped propel the myth that Jews cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetery if they have a tattoo because

Connally said that because graduate students are instructors, they should not be charged for learning materials used by undergraduate students, such as clickers. The council plans to vocalize its opposition against this fee increase. Connally said she was “unhappy they (the library and IT fee) are coupled, and that they are not working together.”
it disrespects Holocaust victims. Rusinov explained that tattoos in Israel are not as popular as they are in the United States, even among “secular Jews,” who are non-orthodox Jews. The number of secular Jews who have tattoos is about one-quarter of the number of Americans , according to Rusinov. He also said that because they are a part of a community, Jews must be responsible for properly representing themselves. Tattoos, Rusinov said, could be seen as disrespecting the body as well as Jewish tradition, despite the fact they could still be buried in a Jewish cemetery and fully participate in all synagogue rituals. “In Judaism, it is no one else’s job to judge you except for God,” said Wilson Etter. “It’s not my job to say if you have a tattoo, you aren’t as good a Jew as I am.”

Critics: Goldman should give back $2.9 billion
Obama prods Middle Eastern countries to move toward reform WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he had told U.S. allies as well as foes in the Middle East that they must “get out ahead of” growing demands for reform, or risk the fates of the deposed presidents of Egypt and Tunisia. As an unprecedented wave of street protests continued to spread, notably in the strategic Persian Gulf kingdom of Bahrain, Obama used a news conference to lay down the first outlines of a broader U.S. response, now that it seems clear that the turmoil will extend well beyond the 18-day revolution that toppled Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak. He defended his handling of Mubarak’s downfall, acknowledged that prospects for Arab-
Italian prime minister will stand trial in sex case mercial television. Members of Berlusconi’s People of Freedom party came to his defense Tuesday. “The Italian judiciary, through a risible investigation, is trying to overturn the democratic order,” said Maurizio Lupi, deputy leader of the party. “The (judicial) offensive against the prime minister has no precedent either in Italy or in the world.” But opposition leaders called for Berlusconi’s resignation and immediate elections. “Berlusconi should defend himself before the (court) as do all citizens who have nothing to hide,” said Anna Finocchiaro, leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate. “But for his sake and that of the nation’s dignity he should first resign.” The judge, Cristina Di Censo, acting on hundreds of pages of documents submitted by prosecutors, ruled that there was sufficient evidence to skip a preliminary hearing and proceed directly to trial, to begin April 6.
THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE LONDON — A judge Tuesday ordered Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi to stand trial on charges that he paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl, then abused his authority by trying to get her released from custody after police picked her up on suspicion of stealing. It was a major setback for the 74-year-old premier, whose personal entanglements have for months overshadowed the business of governing Italy. Berlusconi denies any wrongdoing and blames a plot by leftwing judges and his political foes to force him from office. Whether he will lose his job as prime minister remains unclear. Despite a nonstop stream of scandals surrounding both his business dealings and personal life, Berlusconi has managed to stay in power owing to a fragmented opposition, the loyalty of his proteges in parliament and his control of most of Italy’s com-
raging from Algeria to Yemen presented perils as well as opportunities for U.S. foreign policy. The perils seemed clear Tuesday, as the most vigorous protests occurred in Bahrain, headquarters to the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet; and Yemen, the base of an al-Qaida affiliate that has planned attacks on the United States. If Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh is overthrown, “the likelihood of some really bad elements coming to power is real,” one senior U.S. official said. In Bahrain, thousands of protesters occupied a main square in the capital, Manama, setting up tents, spreading blankets and smoking water pipes in a peaceful escalation of a drive for reform energized by the pro-democracy uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia, said a witness who was reached by telephone.
THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — Irked that Goldman Sachs appears to have reaped a $2.9 billion taxpayer-aided windfall on an investment of a mere $20 million, some experts and watchdogs say the Wall Street giant should return the money to the U.S. Treasury. “It’s a very simple call to make,” said Sylvain Raynes, a frequent Goldman critic who’s an expert in the kinds of deals in which the investment bank landed an apparent jackpot. “They should never have been given this money, and they should give it back.” The assessment by the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission also exposed a potentially huge regulatory omission in the rescue of the insurance giant American International Group, which was
Pennsylvania governor fires 6 over abortion clinic complaints THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett announced Tuesday that he has fired a half-dozen senior agency employees and ordered changes in the two agencies responsible for oversight of health facilities, following the release of a damning grand jury report that concluded state officials had ignored years of complaints against a Philadelphia abortion doctor now charged with murder.
The governor also said three other former agency employees named in the grand jury investigation had previously resigned. Actions are pending against eight others, spokesman Kevin Harley said. “This happened because people weren’t doing their jobs, plain and simple,” Corbett said at a news conference in the Capitol Tuesday afternoon. “This doesn’t even rise to the level of government running amok. It’s government not running at all.”
Parents of US teen convicted of murder arrested for libel THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE PERUGIA, Italy — The parents of a U.S. student convicted of murdering her British roommate in 2007 were ordered Tuesday to also stand trial in Italy for allegedly libeling police in Perugia, the university town where the murder took place. The trial of Curt Knox and Edda Mellas is set for July 4, the ANSA news agency reported, citing the Perugia magistrate who made the decision. In a 2009 interview with Britain’s Sunday Times, Knox and Mellas said that their daughter Amanda Knox “had not been given an interpreter, had not received food and water, and had been physically and verbally abused” by police after her arrest for the murder of British exchange student Meredith Kercher, ANSA said.
New York Stock Exchange merges with Germany’s largest exchange THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE NEW YORK — The New York Stock Exchange and Germany’s largest stock exchange agreed Tuesday to merge operations.

It’s now clear that the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which quarterbacked the hurried, $182 billion bailout of AIG to avoid a meltdown of global financial markets, did little to guard against windfalls for major banks and investment banks. The financial crisis panel’s final report late last month found that Goldman’s $2.9 billion payout came on “proprietary” trades — investments in which the company used its own money rather than the more typical deals completed on behalf of clients. The panel, inquiring into a McClatchy report last June, said that Goldman got $1.9 billion of the payoff after the taxpayer bailout of AIG began.

Israeli peace talks could be complicated and had tough words for Iran’s leaders, who’ve responded harshly to a reborn protest movement in that country. Obama said his message to leaders across the Middle East was that “the world is changing, that you have a young, vibrant generation ... that is looking for greater opportunity, and that if you are governing these countries, you’ve got to get out ahead of change. You can’t be behind the curve.” Privately, senior U.S. officials acknowledged that the White House and State Department are still struggling to adapt to events in the Middle East, where the dynamic seems to change daily and varies from country to country. The officials, who insisted on anonymity in order to speak more frankly, said the protests that were

S
cary portrait tattoos aside (seriously, do you realize how much that face is going to age with you?), tattoos are fascinating. Spare me the “but your body is a temple!” bullshit. Tattoos can be elaborate works of art, monuments memorializing a person or moment, a personal and permanent sign of your dedication. Nothing about your body is less sacred just because it’s got a little color on it. With that said, unless you’re serving me my coffee, I will judge you for being visibly tattooed. If I don’t know you have a tattoo, there isn’t an issue. But, whether you have one or several, the moment I see your “body art” showing, I start making assumptions about your youth, your lifestyle, how responsible you are. I don’t know why I, and others (including your potential employers), do that. I don’t know what defines professionalism, or why being able to see tattoos feel so offensive in jobs that pay above minimum wage. It’s possible that there really isn’t a reason for it. There is no good reason why a barista can be obviously inked and a lawyer cannot be. It’s just the way things are. A survey commissioned by York College of Pennsylvania’s Center for Professional Excellence in 2009 asked human resources professionals and business leaders about what traits were considered professional and how well recent college graduates practiced professionalism. The survey found that “there is a widely held sentiment that not all college graduates are displaying professionalism upon entering the work force.” More than 37 percent of the 500 people surveyed responded that less than half of recent graduates hired exhibited professionalism in their first year of employment. Traits that respondents noted as “unprofessional” included “appearance, which includes attire, tattoos and piercings.” Imagine you walk into a job interview with the Chinese character on your arm showing. Never mind that you’re not absolutely sure it means what you think it means, since you can’t read Chinese. Imagine what the interviewer is thinking. There’s nothing inappropriate or wrong with your tattoo. You shouldn’t feel ashamed because you have one when it’s not of a vulgar image or a word that I’m not supposed to print here. But regardless of how innocent or sweet or completely inoffensive it is, it’s not right. Corporations, particularly ones that require their employees to make a good impression on the general public, are perfectly within their legal rights to impose dress codes. These appearance policies are acceptable as long as they aren’t based on gender, race, age or religion, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. So, your employer can dictate anything from whether you wear jeans or slacks, collared button-downs or T-shirts, to the length of your hair or the location of your piercings and tattoos. There is no First Amendment privilege for being able to walk around your office with an image of a snake on your forearm or a rose on your ankle. As body art becomes more common and widely accepted, perhaps these policies will become more relaxed and people will figure out that what’s on your body is not on theirs. But until then, it’s best to remember to keep some things to yourself. This isn’t a diatribe against all tattoos. What you keep private is your business, and what the general public and your employer don’t know won’t hurt them. They’re certainly not the ones being repeatedly poked by a needle. Just keep it discreet. Have your fun. Get a tattoo of your favorite quote or lyric (just check for typos), your astrological sign (hope it doesn’t change), your butterfly or anchor or Chinese symbols. Just keep it covered, unless you want to remember that I like my coffee iced, with lots of cream and not so much sugar.
Think before you ink
When it comes to tattoos, the question we should be asking ourselves is not “Why would he/she get that?” but rather “Why in the hell would a tattoo artist agree to tattooing that?” Honestly, tattoo artists have to be the biggest assholes known to mankind. The shit they pull is unreal. Don’t believe me? Simply Google “Ugly tattoos” and you’ll see what I am talking about. The amount of asshole-ness that went into transforming a belly button into the butthole of the cat you just tattooed on someone’s beer gut is unfathomable. You can’t put all of the blame on tattoo artists though. They’re simply cashing in on society’s stupidity. It is their duty to respect the wishes of their clients, whether it be with a cartoon character on a shoulder blade, the name of a significant other in a heart on the chest or better yet, a butterfly on the small of a back. If you can dream it, a tattoo artist can do it. And they will do it with little concern about the consequences. Misspelled Bible verses or lyrics are hardly the problem of a tattoo artist. They don’t have to wake up everyday with a tattoo of a possessed child staring back at them in the mirror (poor Amber from “Teen Mom”). So, save yourself the embarrassment before getting your
next ink by double checking that your four-leaf clover indeed has four leaves, because we all know your tattoo artist won’t say anything, and what would be more embarrassing than trying to justify your three-leaf clover tattoo? — Mallory Hawkins is a communication senior.
Tattoos are a Facebook status you can’t change
Looking for a quick way to end a relationship? Trying to find a reason to hate someone you really like? How about just looking for a mistake you’ll regret everyday for the rest of your life? Then you sound like a perfect candidate for a tattoo. Tattoos just have the uncanny ability to doom an otherwise happy relationship, and turn what seemed like a fantastic idea into a horrible story to explain years later. Think you and your high school sweetheart were meant to be together forever? Get her name tatted across your chest and she’ll leave you in a week. Really love your frat? Get their letters tattooed across your back and three years from now you’ll be riddled with the horrible memory of your initiation. Maybe you just really like tribal arm bands. Get a tribal
armband wrapped around your bicep and six months from now you’ll come to the realization that you, in fact, have no indigenous descent anywhere in your bloodline. Of course, not all tattoos are a bad idea, but every time I see a name or, God forbid, a face tattoo I can’t help but cringe. If names and creepy face tattoos weren’t bad enough, don’t forget about all those classy individuals with their “tramp stamps” — er, I mean lower back tattoos. Don’t forget those “sick” barbed wire bicep tats. With all of that in mind, it’s just hard to convince me that a tattoo is a good idea. My generation can’t even be satisfied with a Facebook status for more than six hours, how are we supposed to settle on a tattoo that we’ll enjoy for the rest of our lives? — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore.
Mall RANTS Mall Rants is a regular feature in the Daily Wildcat in which students weigh in on current events and issues. This week, columnist Caroline Nachazel asked students how they feel about tattoos on other people and if they would ever personally get one. “I am kind of in the middle. I think that people with tattoos, it’s their decision to make. I personally feel like they are kind of gross and disgusting and give a poor image of yourself, and you can see them if you are applying for a job or whatever it may be. If I am trying to sleep with her for the night, it’s fine on a woman, but I’m not trying to bring her home to my parents.” — Adam Richman, regional development junior
--
“I like them, but I feel like some people go a little too far. I feel like tattoos need to stay classy. I was 19 when I got mine and it was actually a Christmas gift from my stepmother. My family is pretty conservative but my stepmom has tattoos and I told her I wanted one, and she said that she would take me.” — Rebecca Archer, junior majoring in speech language and hearing sciences
--
“They hurt. They are expensive, but if you get them done right, they look pretty cool. My brother died so I have his initials, so that is sentimental; and then I got a tribal because I am a big guy and I wanted a big tattoo so it is easy to fill.” — Addison Bachman, undeclared junior

“I love them, I have three. They are all meaningful. One represents my sisters, one is about my journey in this life and the other one was my first tattoo, my love for music.” — Shanelle Washington, sophomore majoring in Spanish

policebeat By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat
Student checked in to mental health facility
A male UA student was checked in to the Southern Arizona Mental Health Corporation on Sunday around 4 a.m. A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Manzanita-Mohave Residence Hall about a report of a resident cutting himself. The officer arrived at 3:04 a.m., as the student was resting his head against the wall and appeared to be crying. Another resident was comforting the student when the officer arrived. The resident had been friends with the student for a while and did not know what was wrong with him. The resident went to the student’s room to talk and noticed that the student was holding his left wrist with a paper towel that had a small amount of blood on it. At that time, the resident assistant walked into the hallway, noticed the blood and called UAPD. The student told the officer that he had cut his wrist with the knife from a Leatherman tool. The officer went to the room and retrieved the knife after the student’s friend pointed out where the Leatherman tool was. Earlier, the student was lying on the bed and appeared to be asleep, the friend said. The friend left for a while and returned to find the student standing in the hallway. The friend had never heard the student mention anything about wanting to cut his wrists or any expression of a desire to selfmutilate. The officer contacted the Southern Arizona Mental Health Corporation. The student told the mental health professionals that he did not want to kill himself at the time but wanted to speak to someone about his problems. The mental health staff reported that the student was voluntarily going to their facility. The officer then suggested that the student follow up with Counseling and Psychological Services at Campus Health Service to seek additional treatment. The officer released the student into the care of the Southern Arizona Mental Health Corporation and placed the Leatherman tool into UAPD property for safekeeping.
Two cars, one crash
Two non-UA affiliated drivers were involved in a car collision at the intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Park Avenue on Sunday at 12:04 a.m. A UAPD officer was on patrol and noticed a car, traveling west on Speedway Boulevard, failing to slow down for a red light. At the same time, another car was going through the green light on Park Avenue. The car on Speedway Boulevard failed to stop in time for the red light and impacted the second car on its front bumper. The driver of the first car said he failed to notice the red light because he was busy looking at his car ’s GPS unit. The two drivers exchanged information as the officer cited the first driver for failing to stop at a red light. The two parties were uninjured and left the scene.
Student caught with pants down
Two female UA students urinating behind Parker House Residence Hall were cited for minor in possession on Sunday at 12:27 a.m. A UAPD officer on patrol on First Street saw two people crouching down on the east side of the residence hall. One of the students stood up and walked a few feet away from the building. The officer noted that the student appeared to be fully clothed while the other female had her jeans and underwear around her ankles, while continuing to urinate. The officer asked the student to explain what the two were doing. The student said she was simply waiting for her friend. The officer noticed a strong odor of alcohol from the student’s breath and that she had watery eyes and slow speech. The student was swaying from side to side while standing. The officer continued to talk to the student, who continued to deny consuming alcohol. Yet she refused to “prove [her] innocence” by submitting to a breathalyzer test. He was then cited for a minor in possession. The other student told the officer that, while still naked from the waist down, they needed to use the bathroom and couldn’t wait. The officer noticed that the second student also had a strong odor of alcohol on her breath. The officer asked for the second student’s identification but she said that she had forgotten it inside the residence hall. The officer retrieved it from Parker House and issued the second girl a citation for minor in possession. Both students were also referred to the Dean of Students Office for code of conduct violations. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports.

“I hate getting tattooed more than anything,”
“They just become so much a part of you that (the why) goes by the wayside.”
G
— Geoff Sines
eoff Sines proclaimed in front of Old Main last week. Coming from the creative writing junior, who got his first tattoo at 16 in memory of a deceased friend, the sentiment is hard to believe. “I hate healing it. I hate taking care of it.” Sines’ visible flesh is overflowing with ink. His right arm is a montage of railroad spikes, coffins and cartoon creatures. A zombie cowboy winks hello to a frog in a top hat that is smoking a pipe. A combat jet leaps from a cloud of burning flak, and a sinister cartoon croc finishes devouring an unlucky lady — her flopping white arm and a bulging diamond ring are all that remain. He lifts his shirt to reveal a wooly bull composed of wavy lines stampeding down his belly. He continues. “I just like having them.” Sines’ penchant for permanent body art is shared by countless Tucson residents and UA students. Take a walk down Fourth Avenue and you’ll be blinded by fresh ink. Look for a parlor on Google maps and you’ll find yourself wading through the web pages of more than 90 nearby businesses. There’s little wonder how Tucson became such a tatted populous — the question is why. “They just become so much a part of you that (the why) goes by the wayside,” Sines said. Every tattoo has its own story, and its own reason for being. Some are born of deep-seated ideals, others just for a laugh. Some honor a beloved band or work of literature, others honor the dearly departed. Some strive to turn pink flesh into a polychromatic collage, and then again some are just a “screw off” to the parentals. This week, WildLife took to the streets on and around campus to listen to the stories behind the ink.

“One of my two tattoos is one that I got in memory of my brother. He had actually drawn the tattoo design, I don’t know, probably five years ago, and it was really cool. He always wanted it to be like a family tattoo that represented everyone in the family…. so, when he passed away last December I knew exactly to do with the tattoo, and remember him.” Nicole Nehrbas, business sophomore

Garrett Bright was visiting the UA as a part of the Campus Rail Jam Tour. Bright got his tattoo when he was 19. “My dad was in the Air Force, so I’ve always grown up around aviation. And my dad’s my hero. I always wanted to be a pilot, but it didn’t work out, so I decided to put aviation on my back to remind me of my roots.” Garrett Bright, alumnus of the University of Utah

“This one came from a Latin phrase ‘audentes fortuna iuvat’ which means ‘fortune favors the brave.’ I got it because I believe that in life, if you don’t put anything forwards on the table, you’re not gonna get any rewards. Everything in life is worth it if you take a risk to get what you want, so I’m a very bold and outgoing person. That’s how everyone knows me. It also ties into the fact that I love guns, and I love fighting for what I believe in.” Andrew Westrick added that he spent several years designing this tattoo himself. “There were a lot of choices you have to make, so I wanted to make sure I got the tattoo that’s right for me — especially since it’s gonna be on your body forever.” Andrew Westrick, political science senior

“My brother passed away a year ago, and so I got this for him. It’s from a biblical quote: ‘eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die,’ except that I only have the “for tomorrow we die” part. It’s very meaningful.” Samantha Maxwell, sophomore majoring in English Reporting by: Miranda Butler, Steven Kwan, Valentina Martinelli, Brandon Specktor and Jazmine Woodberry

Lady Gaga debuts record-breaking gay anthem after more than a year of silence
Lady Gaga has done it again. The avant-garde pop princess released her first single in more than a year this past weekend to a record-breaking debut. “Born this Way,” dubbed a “gay anthem” by Sir Elton John, raced to No. 1 on iTunes in less than three hours, according to Perez Hilton. The single is also poised to nab the top spot in the Billboard Hot 100 Chart this week. The song is unapologetically supportive of gay rights, beginning, “It doesn’t matter if you love him / or capital

The song also touches on the escalating struggles faced by members of the gay community and coming to terms with their faith and religion. Gaga belts in the chorus, “I’m beautiful in my way / ‘Cause God makes no mistakes … I was born this way.”

The two met about three years ago while Soto was waiting to get a piercing. “A lot of times you would have to wait for other people to get finished and I’d be meandering around the shop. His office looked pretty much like all his artwork is around,� Soto said. “It was covered in action figures,� Pedersen said, laughing. Soto started chatting with Pedersen and, after checking out Pedersen’s portfolio, Soto commissioned an Iron Giant tattoo on his right calf. Since then, Soto has had Pedersen tattoo DC Comics characters Superman, Captain Marvel
and Magog on his forearms. The good guys are on his right forearm while the bad guys cover his left forearm. Soto plans to get Aquaman next. “My philosophy is that tattoo artists are the same as doctors or mechanics. Once you find a good one, you stick with them,� Soto said. Even though he is currently focused on becoming a better tattoo artist, Pedersen said he eventually wants to split his time between illustration and tattooing in order to be comfortable doing both. “That’s the route I want to take with my tattooing, basically, bring illustration to tattooing and not do typical tattoos,� Pedersen said.

The Charles Darwin Experience rouses college crowds each week on the Gallagher Theater stage, and hopes to do the same on the Centennial Hall patio this Saturday before a performance by Paula Poundstone. Darwin has done several shows outside of their normal setup in the Student Union Memorial Center, including residence halls, sorority houses and the stage on the UA Mall for Earth Hour and Relay for Life. But this will be their first opportunity to open for a UApresents show, according to member Jenny Wise. “It’s fun to take us out of our element and see what we’re capable of,” Wise said. Wise said the group gets contacted by different organizations, but, since few comedy shows come into UApresents, the opportunity was an exciting one for the group. The group performance will be shorter, a half an hour instead of their usual hour, and will focus more on pure improv, skipping some guessing games that require more audience explanation, but otherwise will be like their usual shows. The group loves performing outside, according to Wise, because their improv style is stripped down enough to make the transition. What’s interesting to Wise is the difference in crowds that the two comedy acts attract.

Bryan Ponton, front, a journalism junior, and Harrison Lehrman, a psychology freshman, perform a skit during the Charles Darwin Experience at the Gallagher Theater on Tuesday. The Charles Darwin Experience is an improv comedy group that is made up of students.
“We’re going to have a very different crowd. We’re interested to see what audience (Paula will) bring in,” Wise said. “We’re trying to get younger students to come and see the show, and we’re all going to go and see the show.” Wise said this will be the first time she’s seen stand-up in-person, adding that Poundstone is “quite the pioneer of women in comedy.” Although Darwin targets a different demographic, “commenting on the everyday” and finding humor in the rigmarole of life is something Wise said both acts have in common. “We do college humor. We do a lot of topical

references and a lot of pop culture references,” Wise said. “And she’s been in the business forever, and I think her comedy has changed a little bit as she matured, and ours is in the basic levels of inappropriate humor at times. She, kind of like (Jerry) Seinfeld does, (focuses on) commenting on every day life.” Darwin recently had auditions for the show, adding two new women to the group, Dana Dobbins and Bri Giger. “Luckily for us, they are both hilarious and I have the utmost confidence that they will be great at the Paula Poundstone opening,” Wise said,

adding the new additions will be alongside veteran Darwin members so as to not feel overwhelmed. “The two of them are already so incorporated in the group, and I am so glad that they are part of our little Darwin family.” The Charles Darwin Experience will perform from 7:20 to 7:50 p.m. on the patio in front of Centennial Hall before Paula Poundstone’s show at 8 p.m. inside the hall. Can’t get enough Darwin? The UA’s only all-improv comedy group, The Charles Darwin Experience, performs a free, one-hour show every Tuesday night in the Gallagher Theater at 10:10 p.m.

Questions and Answers On Academic Advising
Sponsored by the Advising Resource Center
Q: Dear Advisor: A few of my sorority sisters are in the Honors College, and I’m not, even though my GPA is higher than theirs! What’s the deal? – 4.0 and Perplexed A: Dear 4.0: Students who apply to UA are individually reviewed based on their unweighted grade point average, SAT or ACT score, and the academic rigor of their high school coursework. Admission to Honors is very competitive, and not all interested students are accepted. However, students who were not initially admitted to The Honors College may join later if they perform exceptionally well in their UA coursework. With a 4.0 GPA, it’s very likely that you would be admitted to Honors if you apply. In general, The Honors College accepts students who have completed at least twelve units of UA coursework and have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5. Students must also have at least two years remaining until graduation so that they have enough time to complete all Honors graduation requirements. The Honors College is a rewarding experience for students who are up for the challenge. In addition to unique coursework, Honors students can register early for courses, have access to a variety of scholarships, and work closely with faculty on senior thesis or capstone projects. Students in all undergraduate degree programs are eligible to graduate with Honors. To find out more about The Honors College, including the self-nomination process for admission, visit www.honors.arizona.edu Q: Dear Advisor: I heard that the Tier I course numbers are going to be changing. Is that true? – Numbers Changing A: Dear Numbers: Yes, it is true. The course numbers for the Tier I courses are changing and will be effective for the fall 2011 semester. Students will use the new numbering system during priority registration next month. The general education requirements have not changed, only the course numbering system for the Tier I courses.

campuscreatives: Donavan
Seschillie
UA student takes short film to Sundance
By Christy Delehanty ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Donavan Seschillie, a Navajo filmmaker from Flagstaff, got through his junior year studying creative writing at the UA before he decided to take a leave of absence devoted to his filmmaking. And it has paid off. His recent short film, “The Rocket Boy,” was selected to be screened at the Sundance Film Festival in January. He will also be at this weekend’s Southwest Indian Art Fair on campus for a screening and Q&A through the Native Eyes Film Showcase. Wildlife got the chance to ask Seschillie a few questions, talking to him by phone while he was stranded at a “little highway pit stop” appropriately named Navajo. Wildlife: When did you start making films? Seschillie: I started making films when I was 13, 14 years old. I started off with an 8 mm camcorder, and I started editing my films like on VCRs (laughs). And I learned how to edit, and the angle to take my shots, and wrote little stories to go along with it. My old childhood friend from the third grade, his name was Jake Hoyungowa — he’s Hopi — and from then on he’s been with me for going on eight years now. Are you involved in any other type of art? My earlier art I guess is photography; I photographed a lot of things when I was small — 7, 8 years old. I used to get disposable cameras and do experiments with those. I used to break them apart and mess with the film, which is a bad idea, probably mess up the film that way. You know, I learned. What was your inspiration for “Rocket Boy”? It came from what another
‘‘
friend of mine was doing, her name was Deidra Peaches, she made a short film for the contest at the National Museum of the American Indian, and it was Thanksgiving, I believe. And her own concept was she was thankful for imagination. And so she made a short film about kids and what they want to do in life. One of them was like a bank robber (laughs). And a couple of them are cops, and another boy is kind of like a rocket scientist. So I was watching it and it was really crudely made — I wasn’t there at the time to help her film it — I was attending U of A at the time. Anyways, I watched it and liked it. And that little rocket boy/scientist thing kind of drew an inspiration, like another story I can draw from that. So I told her about it and asked if I could piggyback off that little short with that little boy and she said it was OK. So I wrote a screenplay that was about a boy who built a rocket to space to find his own father. I didn’t really explain what happened to the father so that it kind of has a universal message. Because on the reservation that’s
IF YOU GO Native Eyes Film Showcase CESL Auditorium Saturday, Feb. 19 5 - 7:15 p.m. Free pretty common, you know, a father would leave a mother and a son alone. So that’s what happened to me during my earlier years, my father wasn’t around, so I kind of drew from that emotion stacked up, I guess. How long of a project was it? Pre-production about a year
— just to write it out, planning, and about three months to film it, and another year to edit. So two and a half years, I guess. How did it get selected to be screened at Sundance? Well, we first screened it at a smaller film festival in Santa Fe. It was part of like the short film showcase or something like that. And people started noticing it, you know? We’re young — I’m 22 years old — so to them it’s really young. I feel old already. But they were expecting like a 30-year-old to make it or something. And they were asking questions like how we made it and I told stories like how we had some filming problems and some creativity that went along with it. They were pretty amazed by it. And then I sent it off to Sundance, sent it with an online account. And one of the short film coordinators, he’s Native American, was able to I guess pull some strings and get it screened there without any fee. You usually have to pay a screening fee, like 40 bucks or 50 bucks. I told him that I don’t have any cash, you know, I’m just a poor res boy from Flagstaff or something like that (laughs). He was all right with it, and he watched it, and he liked it, and he told me he was going to showcase it. And I thought “Oh, pretty cool.” What was your reaction when you found out “Rocket Boy” would be screened at Sundance? It was sort of, like, I was excited but I was concentrated on another project. Because I was filming a documentary at the time so I couldn’t really put my full mind into Sundance and be like “Oh my god, I’m in Sundance!” It was more like “I gotta finish this documentary before I go” (laughs). I read that you don’t overtly

address your heritage in your films — in what ways does your background (ethnic or otherwise) influence your work? I grew up in a native environment — I grew up with my grandparents. They were semi-traditional about what’s going on in the household. So what they taught me was they share everything and there’s no “I” in this type of thing, it’s always “we.” That’s what I brought to my filmmaking. Like my name’s a director, you know, I don’t feel like I need all that credit because I wasn’t the only one who actually filmed it, you know? I had a lot of help, and I try to offer that and say that people helped me, you know, it
wasn’t all just me. What’s next for you? I’m working on the documentary. It’s a social issue, the environment down by the reservation. I guess recently they sold their water rights — like they actually own a partial amount of water from the Colorado River that flows through the Navajo mainland. And recently they sold that off to the highest bidder, pretty much. Which is a bad thing. Half the reservation people don’t have running water or electricity, and I have no idea what that means to people who actually have to haul water to their households. So I’ve got to make that documentary, trying to expose it at least.

CAT MIX Presidents Day
e g d E t n a v e l e R r u Yo
Pick a theme. Pick five songs. Party.
1. Of Great and Mortal Men: 43 Songs for 43 U.S.
Presidencies This anthology is the one to top them all. In a project originally undertaken as part of “February Album Writing Month,” songwriters J. Matthew Gerken, Christian Kiefer and Jefferson Pitcher wrote 42 songs, one about each U.S. president, in February 2006. This collection is the one — and likely only — worthwhile gift to give someone on Presidents Day. —Steven Kwan
2. ‘America, F*ck Yeah’ by Trey Parker
Presidents Day, F*uck Yeah! Ranked basketball team, F*uck Yeah! Trying hard in class, F*uck Yeah! Letters from Mal, F*uck Yeah! Pokemon during class, F*uck Yeah! Journalistic integrity, F*uck Yeah! Paradise Bakery, F*uck Yeah! Freedom of speech, F*uck Yeah! Asterisks, F*uck Yeah! —Remy Albillar
3. ‘The Presidents’ by Animaniacs For the 75th episode, Steven Spielberg’s “Animaniacs” honored President’s Day with a song about each U.S. president up to Bill Clinton. For a topical song, it still holds up surprisingly well, as do many “Animaniacs” episodes. — Steven Kwan 4. ‘Peaches’ by Presidents of the United States Most are positive this song has nothing to do with actual peaches. Maybe it’s about the kind of peaches Nicolas Cage talks about “eating for hours” in the 1997 Academy Award Winner of Best Movie Ever “Face/Off.” Think about it. It’s what the Founding Fathers would have wanted. —Remy Albillar 5. ‘Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta’ by Geto Boys
There’s a lot of responsibility when you got the world swingin’ from your nuts. Play your cards right, make deals and occasionally send a million troops to die at war. This eminently quotable hit of “Office Space” fame proves that, damn, the U.S. president is the world’s top gangster. —Brandon Specktor

22-year old free spirit What is with the costume? It’s not a costume. I mean to some people it would be a costume, but it’s just my outfit. So what is your style inspired by? My soul, the pure expression of my soul. I just put it on. I liked it and I put it on. I mean I have my down days, I pretty much go about my days adding and subtracting items. I find something, I get it, I put it on, I leave something behind. My outfits are continually changing. Where do you think your soul is going after you move on from this life? Well I already lead a multi-dimensional existence, so I have many beliefs as far as what is going to happen to my soul. The essence of me could possibly come back, I like it here. Although, I think I am ready to be (the) enigmatic, undefinable goddess that I believe I am, but in a more tangible form. So I think I might go embody something else. Is it going to be a human, an animal? What sort of personality? Neither. If I am going to go embody something else it is going to be in another galaxy far, far away. Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? Oh we are all extraterrestrial. Everything is foreign in this planet, shrooms, marijuana, I mean that’s not everything but those are a few things.

Cross-eyed opossum to make Oscar picks And the Oscar goes to … Heidi the cross-eyed opossum? The googly-eyed marsupial isn’t up for an award herself, but Oscar-watchers are going to make a trip to visit her at her home in Germany’s Leipzig Zoo, where she will offer up her Academy Awards picks as part of Jimmy Kimmel’s pre-ceremony show Feb. 27. If you can’t bring the opossum to the Oscars, you’ve got to bring the Oscars to her. “Hollywood and the Academy Awards — here I come,” reads an entry on Heidi’s official Facebook page, where she has more than 300,000 fans. “But I stay in
Leipzig zoo and the producers come to me. Great deal.” And since there’s no better place to see and be seen than the Oscars, Heidi is already on a diet to help give her a figure worthy of the red carpet. Zoo officials believe the eye condition that helped Heidi’s rise to stardom could be the result of excess weight. She’s already lost about a pound and can even grip things with her tail again, but it may be some time before we know if her eyes will ever go back to normal. When Heidi makes her Oscar picks, she will follow in the tentacles of another great German

Paul died shortly afterward, his unique talent never fully explained, and a not-so-psychic successor has already been named. In the meantime, Heidi isn’t even on display yet — so the only chance the public will have to see her for the time being will be on the upcoming “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” show.

Forward Derrick Williams has been limited offensively as of late, thanks to an injury to his right hand. Despite a lack of numbers, however, the attention Williams draws from defenders has given his teammates more scoring opportunities.
Junior Kyle Fogg’s 26-point outburst against ASU on Sunday was a reflection of head coach Sean Miller’s philosophy on winning. Miller urges his players to worry about team performance and getting a win rather than individual performance. Mike Christy/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

NOTES continued from page 16
FOGG continued from page 16 Despite the Wildcats’ 13-0 home record this season, their toughest home series of the season begins Thursday. They face the Washington schools, which are both capable of toppling Arizona, even on a good night. But with guarded optimism,
Wildcat players don’t expect they’ll lose a game. “Who knows? Sitting here right now, I think we should have less losses to tell you the truth,” Hill said. “From our experience last year, the main thing is taking it one game at a time,” he added. “You never know what can happen any game. You can look at the end result when you’re done.”
to Washington State,” Miller joked, “I know Derrick will be excited, we’re going to keep him in more defensive drills than offensive. He’ll appreciate that.” Miller expects his leading scorer to lose some of the wrapping in the near future, as Williams is not under risk to injure his finger anymore.
Lost in the Fogg
Kyle Fogg scorched ASU on Sunday, but his two 13-point halves overshadowed bench contributions from guard Jordin Mayes and forward Jesse Perry.
Mayes scored seven first-half points and Perry, who was scoreless by halftime, came out looking to make a bigger impact. “That’s the thing about this team,” Perry said. “Any night, it can be another guy’s night besides Derrick. The second half, I tried to come out and be more aggressive.” What made it easier to do so? As a lover of physicality, Perry woke up thanks to ASU’s pushiness after the locker room break. “Zone kind of makes it harder to really reach a lot of contact,” Perry said. “In the second half, they came out more hard and physical. And I succeeded out there.”

The ink on their bodies is as important to basketball players as the paint on the court Arizona Daily Wildcat
Jesse Perry, left, Jordin Mayes, top right, and Candice Warthen, bottom right, show off their ink while playing basketball. The tattoos vary in meaning, ranging from family to basketball.
In addition to expressing themselves through their athletic accomplishments, Arizona athletes express themselves through tattoos as well. Here are the stories of three Wildcats and their tattoos:
Mike Christy, Mike Christy, Gordon Bates/ Arizona Daily Wildcat
Jesse Perry
Men’s basketball, guard “I got two of them. The one with my mother’s name, and my grandmother’s name … a scripture. My dad passed a long time ago, so I kinda got pops on my chest. I got a lot of tattoos that mean a lot. Pretty much all of them have a meaning, you know, just a lot of things I’ve been through. Some of them symbolize that. My whole body will be tatted up in the future.”
Jordin Mayes
Men’s basketball, forward “Right now, I only got two. My favorite one is the cross right here with my mom and my grandma’s name. I’m going to get some more.”
Candice Warthen
Women’s basketball, guard “The one (on my shoulder), I got when I was 15 because I just wanted a tattoo. The one on my leg, it’s a basketball. I got it when I was 17 because I love basketball, and I just wanted to put something on me, you know, that had to do with basketball.”

Miller’s beliefs engrained in Fogg, teammates
Injured Williams still drawing opponents’ attention
By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat After wading through two coaching regimes in his three-year career, Kyle Fogg can finally say he’s witnessing cultural growth in the Arizona basketball program this season. Success might be evident for the Wildcats because of their impressive No. 12 ranking and record of 21-4 (10-2 in the Pacific 10 Conference), but there are several signs that show a glimmer of Arizona’s potential return to rank among elite. The resurgence of Fogg as a dependable scorer is an example of head coach Sean Miller’s effectiveness. Look no further than how Fogg feels about his role and overall attitude. “(I’m) more about getting the win than about how I’m playing,” he said. “It feels so good to win. Guarding the other team’s best player is really becoming a satisfying role for me. I just
love to do that every night.” Through rough patches last season, Fogg was lit up by hot shooting two-guards on a fairly regular basis. It was hard for the junior then, just as it was hard for Arizona as a whole, to think “team first, me second.” And in a broader context, the entire roster has developed in the same way. Each man has embraced his own role — Fogg’s defensive mentality, for example — but at the same time, each player knowingly relies on his teammates. At yesterday’s press conference, Fogg wouldn’t mention his great defensive performance against Washington State’s Klay Thompson earlier this season without crediting his fellow Wildcats’ help on defense. That token of appreciation might come because Miller reaches his players. “He gets his point across,” said forward Solomon Hill. “He really emphasizes on the defensive end helping, not letting people go one-on-one.
He really emphasizes your team.” “It’s really just staying together,” he added. “It might not be your night one night, but as long as you get the ‘W,’ that’s all that matters.” When the players’ box scores didn’t look pretty last season, loving to win was easier said than done. Nowadays, the players have taken their coach’s advice: one game at a time. It’s an easy-to-say concept, but Miller won’t stray from pounding it into his players’ heads daily. With only six conference games to play, four of which are at home, he’s sticking with the attitude that his No. 12 squad can lose on any given night. “Motivation really takes care of itself,” he said. “There’s really not an opponent that has more to play for than you. You’re not getting any more credit for any one of the six (remaining games). You have to be on it everyday.” FOGG, page 14
By Kevin Zimmerman Arizona Daily Wildcat Forward Derrick Williams hasn’t been putting up the scoring numbers of late, but call him the offensive juggernaut anyway. Despite being limited with his pinky finger wrapped up for protection, opposing zone defenses haven’t shied away from throwing double and often triple teams at the Arizona sophomore. “Teams still play him the same,” said forward Solomon Hill. “Guys are starting to get open shots. It’s starting to look a lot easier for the team to play, smoothly, through Derrick. “We still want to get him touches to cause that attention.” But it’s clear Williams has been limited. He only got off five shots and three free throws
against ASU thanks to the injury and the Sun Devils’ collapsing zone. At the same time, ASU picked their poison — guard Kyle Fogg launched nine 3-pointers and connected on six as part of his 26 points. Head coach Sean Miller said Tuesday that Williams has been kept out of portions of practice to rest his finger. In his third week of injury, Miller said Williams’ defense has been iffy, perhaps because of the loss of practice time. “Some of his fouls is defensive positioning,” Miller said. “We’ve noticed a difference there. “In these two days leading up
Sun Devil slayer
ATHLETE of the WEEK Ify Ibekwe By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat Ify Ibekwe, a senior forward on the Arizona women’s basketball team, led the Wildcats to their first victory over ASU in their last 12 tries with a 22-point, 22-rebound performance. The Arizona Daily Wildcat caught up with her to talk about being named Pacific 10 Conference Player of the Week, her favorite movie and what really happens on road trips. Daily Wildcat: What does it mean to you being named Pac-10 Player of the Week? Ify Ibekwe: I didn’t even know about it until I went into the office and someone told me. It’s pretty cool to get noticed because I did so much for the team. It’s always an accomplishment to get acknowledged for what you do for your team. What do you and the rest of the team need to do to put together a winning streak? We just need to play like we did against ASU. We were energetic and active. We executed on offense … we played with hustle. When we put that all together, it adds up to a win. Who’s your favorite musical artist
right now? I listen to all types of music, so I don’t really have one type of music or artist that I listen to more than others. What about your favorite song? Definitely Rihanna’s “What’s My Name?” I listen to that all the time. It just makes me happy. Do you have any kind of pre-game rituals or superstitions? I always call my family in the same order — my mom, dad and then brother. I listen to music, like we all do, but that’s about it. What’s your favorite on-court memory at Arizona? Beating ASU in McKale on Sunday. I’ll never forget that — the way I felt. It was a team win, we played for each other, and nothing feels better than that. When coach Butts gave you that hug on the court at the end of the ASU game, what did she say? She basically said, “We did it, you worked hard and good game.” What’s your favorite movie right now? Definitely “Easy A.” It’s the funniest movie I’ve seen in the last two months. Is there anything on your iPod that would surprise someone?
For someone that knows me, nothing would be surprising. There’s no artist or song that someone would say “What? Ify? No way.” What’s your favorite off-court memory while at Arizona? There are so many great moments that I can’t pick one. … We always have fun. We’re always a team and a family atmosphere, so there’s always something funny happening. Have you guys ever gotten in trouble on a road trip? (Laughs) No, we don’t get in trouble. Is there a memory from while you were on the road that stands out to you? I don’t remember what year it was — it was either my junior year or this year — but we won a game, and we all just went to the hotel pool area and it was just fun. We just all were enjoying it and it was the whole team, so that was great.
