UA students and local artists gathered together to help with a global cause by painting shoes Sunday.

The event, titled “Style Your Sole,” encouraged students to purchase a pair of TOMS shoes to be painted by an artist and provided an opportunity for students to design and paint their own TOMS shoes, all while helping children around the world. For every pair of TOMS shoes purchased, TOMS donates a pair of shoes to a child in need through their “One for One” movement.

Tucked away beneath a Sunday church service, students and local artists gathered downstairs at the St. Thomas More Catholic Newman Center. The artists volunteered to help tackle a stack of boxes waiting to be painted with pre-ordered designs ranging from UA symbols to intricate patterns of trees.

“I’m a big supporter of TOMS, I have probably three pairs at home,” said Seandean Anderson, a visual communications senior, volunteer artist and Daily Wildcat employee in the production department. “I thought it’d be interesting to be able to do something like this on TOMS and bring awareness to it.”

The Style Your Sole idea began when the Newman Center decided it wanted to host an event, rather than just an outreach, according to Sister Angelica Velez, a coordinator for the Social Justice Ministry at the Newman Center.

It reached out to TOMS, who then put them in contact with Jenna Bigham, a communications junior and the TOMS Campus Club leader at the UA. “ …If we can sell shoes … imagine the

more we sell, the more shoes that can go to children,” Velez said. “That was our real purpose, was to get shoes so that children would have shoes.”

After some collaboration, the TOMS Campus Club and the Social Justice Ministry were able to plan the event.

Though originally set to take place in the UA Bear Down Gym, the event was relocated to the Newman Center after shoe sales didn’t go as well as hoped. Velez said she remains hopeful, however, that this event will be the start of something bigger.

“We decided ‘Well, what if we start at least the beginning,’ and then maybe that might be incentive for Jenna’s club [TOMS Campus Club] as well as the rest of the university,” Velez said. “It’s a way in which Newman at the UA wants to encourage people of all faith, obviously our students here at Newman, but to learn what it is to do the call of our faith and to remember that we have a responsibility to help others.”

The UA TOMS Campus Club has about 40 members who help spread the message of TOMS and “One for One,” as well as help out at events, according to Bigham.

“I think it’s a great company … it’s really good to advocate for something you believe in,” Bigham added.

TOMS is actually a for profit business, because it needs to profit in order to deliver shoes to children in other countries, according to Sofia BattagliaBakir, an English and Italian sophomore and TOMS event coordinator.

“Essentially these kinds of events are to promote that, and get people aware of TOMS and their mission,” Battaglia-Bakir said.

After a statewide student lobbying group filed a federal lawsuit against the Arizona Board of Regents, the student body senate at NAU will vote tonight on whether or not to continue its support for the litigation.

The senate’s decision could further divide the student governments of Arizona’s three universities and leaders within the Arizona Students’ Association, an organization that lobbies for higher education at the state Legislature.

Two NAU senators have drafted a resolution opposing further legal action against the Board of Regents.

The NAU senate will vote on it in a special session at 9 p.m., according to NAU student body president Sammy Smart.

The lawsuit was filed earlier this month in response to the regents’ decision to require students to explicitly agree to a $2-per-semester fee prior to payment collected on behalf of ASA. “We haven’t officially taken a stance on [the lawsuit], because we’ve been waiting for the senators to vote on this resolution,” Smart said. “Once they TYLER BESH/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT vote we will be able to say whether REGENT DENNIS DECONCINI speaks at the Board of Regents’ November meeting, where the we’re for or against this.

preview unlikely STEW MCCLINTIC Arizona Daily Wildcat

An ASUA senator is running into problems enacting his campus project — a plan that would allow students to preview their class syllabi.

Last year, Taylor Ashton, a senator for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona and a political science sophomore, ran on a platform of getting course syllabus previews posted online for students to view before registering for a course. This would allow students to gain more information before deciding on which class to take, he said.

However, some professors are arguing the feasibility of the project.

“It’s not going to happen,” said Tom Fleming, an astronomer and senior lecturer at the UA. “The problem is it’s something that can’t practically be done for many reasons.”

It is too big of a job to keep it up to date and managed and some classes are taught by multiple people and therefore the syllabi will be different for each class, according to Fleming. Furthermore, many courses and their teachers are not even announced until a few days before. The only way to make this project possible would be to go into D2L and take the syllabi from previous courses, Fleming said.

“There is no way my committee or even the administration would go into D2L and pull out everyone’s syllabus,” he said. “The faculty would consider that a violation of their academic freedom.”

However, Ashton said he has high hopes for the project. He said he has been talking with faculty members on the university-wide General Education Committee and has received positive feedback.

It is a pilot program right now and the goal is to not necessarily get a

INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL BRINGS CULTURE

International festival promotes culture WHITNEY BURGOYNE Arizona Daily Wildcat

The annual International Festival will be held on the UA Mall this week.

The festival, hosted by students from the Center for English as a Second Language, will take place Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will include many activities to engage attendees. The event is meant to help the students practice their English by interacting with the public and sharing aspects of their own cultures.

“It’s just a fun day to educate other students about other cultures,” said Kathleen Hertenstein, the CESL student activities coordinator and a graduate student in language, reading and culture. “It breaks down barriers and stereotypes and is just a great way to network and meet other people.”

Interactive activities will include learning a few, basic words from other languages, answering questions attendees may have about cultures, playing games such as bingo, guessing games and even a Japanese game requiring players to pick peanuts up with chopsticks.

Traditional dress will be worn and traditional dances will be performed for attendees to watch later in the afternoon.

About 30 countries will be represented by more than 300 transfer students. Eight groups will be representing China alone.

“We don’t care if we make mistakes, we just want to do our best,” said Na Wei, a transfer student studying finance.

Wei transferred to the UA this semester and said that she is very excited for the festival because she is proud to contribute to her country by sharing its culture with the public.

While CESL students have been working on the preparations for this festival for several months, they have only been working on projects and decorations for the event this past month. The event is primarily student-run, with only minimal faculty supervision.

“I’m so happy to do this because I’m part of China, I’m Chinese people,” said Elaine Liu, a transfer student studying marketing. Liu has been attending the UA since August and said she is looking forward to participating in the event.

“The really exciting thing is that we can wear our traditional clothing and introduce our culture,” Liu said.

“This is really important.”

Hertenstein said working with the students is an amazing experience and that she thinks people attending the event will feel the same way once they’ve experienced it as well.

“It’s the best job I’ve ever had in my life,” Hertenstein said. “They are so happy and excited to share their culture and meet people. They are so much fun to work with, I love it.”

full “syllabus” online before registration, but just to gather more information about a course before a student selects it.

“We’re just trying to get more information to the students, whether it be a syllabus or not,” Ashton said.

Some of the information that Ashton said he hopes to be able to post in the pilot program is the course layout, the teaching methods, the required texts and if the course is lecture based or discussion based.

“We’re college students. We’re adults,” Ashton said. “It is our right as students to learn in the best way possible and be fully informed because we are paying for it.”

However, the best way to find out about a course is to actually attend the first week of class, see if it is a good fit and, if not, drop the course and add a different one, according to Fleming.

Despite the roadblocks ASUA has run into during this project, some students think it would be beneficial.

“I think it will be very helpful because a lot of students have no idea what the class is about. They just hear about it from other students,” said Ben Brehne, a pre-business freshman. “If we got the syllabus ahead of time, then kids would know what the course is actually about and how much work is required.”

actions made by ASA are beneficial for the students or just beneficial for ASA,” said Sen. Morgan Abraham, an engineering junior. “We’re just trying to do our best and make sure we’re representing our students to the best of our capabilities.”

At the meeting, King said the ASA Board of Directors took a poll to measure support for the suit. Based on the discussion, the board decided to move forward without a second official vote, King said.

However, directors believed in December that the resolution was necessary because the fee would be cut entirely and were told then that the board would vote again if ASA chose to pursue a lawsuit, Smart said.

“The official vote that was taken was in December,” King said. “It does not state in our bylaws that we need to have another vote. After that vote, there was no more needed vote as far as the board goes.”

its resolution came from “being caught off-guard,” King said.

“I feel once we can adequately communicate with the NAU student senate and their student government as a whole, they’ll understand and we can move past this,” he added.

However, the NAU senate’s actions came as a surprise to other UA student leaders.

“I didn’t know there was a resolution being put together, so at this time I would say we don’t have a response,” Murray said.

She reiterated her support for the litigation, saying that, “it was something that was voted on as the ASA directors as a board. Being a member of the board, I support the board’s decision.”

But members from the ASUA Senate echoed some of the doubts expressed by NAU. “I was just really confused how something like this could better the students,” Abraham said. “We try to work with ABOR as much as possible. They’re appointed to hopefully make the best decisions for students, so something like this really confuses me.”

high school students at Sabino.

“It is very exciting to see how interested [the students] actually are,” Casella said. “I learned a lot. I learned how to plan and organize and how to really work with someone else and teach them.”

Some teachers commented on the benefits of providing education about Russia.

“I think our country needs experts in various fields of knowledge in Russia,” said Irina Kamenkovich, a Russian teacher at Santa Rita and Sabino, as well as Pima Community College.

“There are a lot of things that we don’t know about the country. We have been having a very controversial relationship with Russia and this is a good exercise in terms of how to figure out how to say things correctly. My students are improving their logical thinking and their thinking in general. It is a great culture with a special history.”

is also open for UA Russian majors and graduate students. The interns help out the students in the Russian classes at the high schools. This internship includes mentoring, serving as a role-model, providing instructional aid and bridging the gap between the high schools and the university, Polowy said. “[The internships] are ways to use ones language skills in the larger community,” Polowy said.

“Sometimes we are so concentrated on our professions and jobs that we don’t stop to think that knowing any other languages can complement and supplement our lives. It is another way of learning and that is this idea of service learning.”

The department’s longest-lasting internship program is with Sabino and Santa Rita. The schools have had internships available since August 2007 and Canyon del Oro was added in August 2012. Archaeology senior Albert Casella is an intern with the

The Department of Russian and Slavic Studies and the Jewish Family and Children’s Service have collaborated to provide UA students with “service and experiential learning” internships.

There are two internship programs that are offered to students through the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies.

Students are provided the opportunity to work with Russianspeaking Holocaust survivors in Tucson through the JFCS Holocaust program. The other internship consists of assisting in the Russian language program at one of three Tucson high schools: Sabino High School, Santa Rita High School or Canyon del Oro High School.

“By using language skills, students can both give and receive,” said Teresa Polowy, head of the Department of Russian and Slavic Studies. “They can share, mentor, lend [an] ear and also receive.

They receive information about themselves and they learn what they can and cannot do in a language.”

Joseph Shaw, a Russian studies junior said there are always interesting opportunities from a student perspective for Russian studies.

“I am part of the Air Force in ROTC,” Shaw said. “The Air Force is looking for good language speakers right now. Russia is going to play a very large role in the next 15 to 20 years and has come out of a big economic deprivation and I think it is a fascinating culture with an interesting history.”

Community Chatter What do you think about having a syllabus posted online for classes before students sign up for a course?

“I think syllabuses before classes are a good idea because it would be great to know exactly what you are signing up for. For instance I’ve suffered with classes that I haven’t had any idea what they are about before signing up.”

— Philip Bokes, business freshman “I think it is a great way to be better prepared for the classes you are going to take and it is a great way for the university to make us more knowledgeable about what we are getting into.”

— Ashley Card, communication freshman

“I think it is a good idea because then you can know how much work it is going to require that would help you determine how many classes you can take and what your work load might be for the semester and also just to know if it is really the class is what you are expecting it to be and what you are looking for.”

— Bailey Lahtinen, biochemistry freshman

“I think it is a great way to gauge your work load to see what classes require how many papers and how many tests before you sign up for a class that has way too much work to do.”

— Julia Black, English and religious studies junior “I think it is a good idea because it helps you know what the class will be about.”

ASA suit defense of free speech Matthew casey Arizona Daily Wildcat

T

he state of Arizona is like a cannibal, systematically devouring the hopes and dreams of any person who might need assistance while striving to realize his or her American dream.

From immigration to gun control and ethnic studies to funding public education, a lack of strong leadership combined with an absence of empathy for anyone with different political views has created the collective attitude: Every person for themselves.

The Arizona Board of Regents recently made it clear that it supports this individualistic ethos. The board voted two weeks ago that the UA, Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University students must explicitly agree to pay the $2 per semester fee that funds the Arizona Students’ Association, a non-profit organization whose mission for the last 39 years has been to make higher education affordable and accessible.

The Arizona Daily Wildcat reported last week that ASA’s response was to file a federal lawsuit against the board, alleging that its unanimous decision violated students’ First Amendment rights because it was done in retaliation of ASA’s open support of Proposition 204.

The organization decided to sue because the board’s vote sets a precedent allowing it to retaliate against anybody, said Dan Sullivan, an ASA spokesman.

The board sees the situation differently. In an official response to the lawsuit, Rick Myers, chair of the board, said the regents voted to change ASA funding policy because “the board considered options that would allow students to express support for ASA if they choose, but that also reflect that ASA is a separate and independent entity over which the regents have no governance authority.”

It is easy to interpret Myers’ statement. Since the board can’t control ASA policy, it’ll affect ASA’s ability to support or oppose policy by changing how it is funded, thus jeopardizing ASA’s future.

Further, this interpretation is supported by the fact that prior to the board’s vote, students already had the option whether to finance ASA. As the Daily Wildcat reported, students not interested in supporting ASA already had the option to request a refund of the fee.

But the biggest irony of the situation is that ASA is partially paying for the lawsuit with student fees. Some would suggest this is a waste of money, as it is probable that not all fee-paying students support ASA’s lawsuit.

On the other hand, it is evidence of the value ASA places on protecting students’ freedom of speech.

Legally speaking, ASA argues that it was exercising its First Amendment right by supporting Proposition 204, which was defeated in the November 2012 election. The proposition’s passage would have made permanent a 1 percent sales tax

signatures is to have them verified by student government officials. If enough of the signatures are valid — signed by a UA undergraduate with a student ID number — then the fee will appear on the ballot, alongside candidates running for positions in the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. If enough students vote yes in March, the fee will move to the Arizona Board of Regents for approval.

But let’s say you don’t want to help student media. Maybe you don’t regularly read the Wildcat, or you don’t listen to KAMP radio or watch UATV, or you just plain don’t like student media — you can vote against the fee.

However, if you do that, student media production will continue to financially struggle.

Letters to the editor ‘Harlem Shake’ protest around Brother Jed a cry for attention When I emerged from my classes this past Wednesday to find a mass of students assembled outside the Administration building, I must admit that I had high hopes. Very few times in my years at this school have I seen such a large, apparently organized, gathering. Finally something had managed to provoke our students — members of a generation of marked self-entitlement and unmatched complacency — into action.

Perhaps, after nearly two years, our students had finally become cognizant of our state slashing nearly $1.3 billion to its education budget, spurring subsequent spikes in tuition for Arizona universities. Perhaps they had finally heard the punch line to the joke that was our state’s 2012 election, in which winners were declared when nearly 500,000 ballots remained uncounted. Perhaps our university had finally become the tool for social change that is often supposed to be.

But then I saw the Jesus costumes. I saw the horse masks, the neon bodysuits, the keg.

This “protest,” as it was called by many students gathered around the hill, is as much an insult to the word as it is a public embarrassment to our university and what it is meant to be — to what it can be.

Do not misunderstand me; I dislike Brother Jed as much as the next sane person. I have watched him with disdain since my freshman year and recognize him as just as much a mockery to Christianity as these “protesters” are to our student body. But a fundamental characteristic of protest is a real desire to change that which you are protesting, something that Wednesday’s circus sorely lacked.

“Brother Jed is a troll,” is likely the most accurate, and indisputably the most eloquent, statement that I heard on the hill on Wednesday. Anyone astute enough to make such an observation, however, should know that there is only one way to deal with trolls: Starve them. Brother Jed feeds on the attention that he is given on our campus and this week’s scene is sure to keep him well-fed and coming back at the slightest pang of hunger. His god might be ever-present, but I assure you that we would see the last of Jed if we could only muster the self-restraint to ignore him for a week.

That is not what these students want, however. They are not protesters and are not in search of any actual change. They are, in a very real sense, the same as Brother Jed; just as irritating, just as offensive, and just as much starved for the spotlight.

I have never before today admitted that Jed was right, but after Wednesday I see that he is correct in saying that our campus is full of whores. And though we may have no particular interest in sex or in promiscuity, I now know that we will do just about anything for attention.

Newspaper design disrupts reading I try to read every Daily Wildcat published. I receive it online as well as pick up a hard copy. I like the convenience of the online version but I get the hard copy for other entertainment such as the crossword puzzle.

I haven’t learned to negotiate the online version to see all that is printed.

But that is not what this email is about.

First of all I think the Daily Wildcat is a quality newspaper. I enjoy reading it. As a life-long Wildcat fan, I feel I get more in-touch information from this paper than the Arizona Daily Star or the Phoenixbiased Arizona Republic.

Here’s the gist of this email. Every once in a while the Wildcat comes out with a newspaper that has the front page a one-third to half-page wide. It also serves as the last page. This portion of a front page drives me nuts. It does nothing but cause irritation to me. The Arizona Daily Star does this at times and I really dislike it also. It is at best a nuisance and cumbersome.

I’m not so naive to think my solitary letter of complaint will cause this partial page to stop being published but my hope is that if enough people feel as I do they will write and tell you. So if you’re interested in taking a vote to continue this or no longer print a partial page, I vote “Get rid of it!”

Thank you for the opportunity to express myself.

— Ron Figueroa Press helps drive election’s impact My name is Anthony Carli, and I am running for student body president. ASUA elections are pivotal each year, whether one votes or does not; they offer an opportunity for students to maintain the status quo, or opt for a new direction of governance.

It is the responsibility of both the candidates, and the press on campus, to critically evaluate individuals running for office, and to inspire students to vote on Election Day. It is truly a disservice to the Wildcats on campus for this mutual effort not to exist. Without adequate coverage of all candidates, students are unable to make informed voting decisions in this brief campaign.

I invite the Daily Wildcat to cover this election, my campaign, and all candidates’ campaigns, in an effort to publicize the impact that elections can hold on campus; contact the candidates and hold interviews beyond the endorsement of the editorial board.

Students rely on both candidates and the press to make informed decisions, and this is the only way that the best person for the job is elected. Thank you in advance for your coverage, and feel free to review our ideas and platforms at elections.asua.arizona.edu.

to fund education. A portion of those revenues would have gone to establish a state-based financial aid system at the UA, ASU and NAU. Zachary Brooks, president of the Graduate and Professional Student Council and an ASA director, wrote in an email that ASA supported Proposition 204 because “ASA’s mission is also to advocate to elected officials and running issue campaigns.”

According to the complaint filed by ASA in federal court, “Several members of the Board of Regents acknowledged that the Board’s [December] suspension of the two-dollar, refundable, ASA student fee was ‘political’ in nature and resulted from ASA’s advocacy in support of Proposition 204.”

Considering the board is the governing body charged with strengthening the quality of higher education in Arizona, it should be advancing the agenda to improve public education funding, not whacking funding to student organizations already working toward that goal.

A UA student threatened to walk back to California at 2:36 a.m. on Feb. 10 after she was arrested near the math annex on charges related to underage drinking.

University of Arizona Police Department officers first observed the woman after she stumbled numerous times while walking on Mountain Avenue and used a wall as support.

When police asked her if she was OK, they smelled alcohol on her breath and she said she just wanted to go home. They also noted in the report that her speech was slurred. Furthermore, the woman had a “noticeable” sway during their interaction.

The woman appeared to be under 21 and wouldn’t tell police where she lived, beside that her home was in a “westerly” direction and that her mother was coming to pick her up.

She then told police she was 18 years old and that she’d been drinking “a lot” of mixed drinks at her friend’s house. The woman then became emotional and began crying.

She began speaking “unintelligibly,” telling the cop she was walking back to California, adding her mother was coming from San Diego.

Due to her emotional state, UAPD notified UA Student Emergency Medical Services, to evaluate her well-being.

UASEMS decided the woman was physically fine and being “overly emotional.”

The woman was cited and released for underage person with spirituous liquor in body, before being driven back to her residence hall.

A UA student had her black Toshiba laptop stolen from the Gould-Simpson building between noon and 4 p.m. on Feb 11.

The woman contacted police after it was taken from her unlocked office. The incident occurred while the woman was out of the room and it is unknown who had access to the area.

Two graduate students were the only people with access to the room, but she had yet to contact either one about the incident, she told UAPD. The woman then spoke with police again at 10:23 p.m., saying she believed her laptop was on eBay. Police searched the item she believed to be hers, but were unable to confirm or deny her claim, due to being unable to identify the computer with a serial number.

The student was advised to speak with the graduate students to confirm they hadn’t moved the computer, which she valued at $800.

Total access

A wireless access point monitor was stolen from the Tree Ring building, currently under construction, at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 7.

UAPD wasn’t notified regarding the reported theft until Feb 6. However, when a UA employee spoke with police he reported that two weeks prior, several employees went to remove a wireless access point monitor from the new building, before noticing that the equipment, valued at $775, was missing.

The system has since been taken out of service, but the man conducted a unit history of the monitor with technicians, which showed the device’s last connection was Jan. 7.

The employee then contacted staff, none of who knew of the incident. Beside fellow employees, the only others with access to the building were construction crews, according to the man, who additionally were unaware of the happening.

No serial number was available for the monitor at the time of the report.

Throw us down and stomp.

This one is so terrible that you will consider dropping the class, if not college completely. When the class gets angry and upset, the more this professor seems to enjoy it. Look out for multiple papers due on the same day and perpetually busy office hours where you will likely never actually be helped.

The worst part is that C you will get – you’ll never be more proud of.

Crazy Maybe-Homeless (?) Professor You’ll definitely catch these ones muttering to themselves. And get ready to hear about the 60s and 70s and how THEY CHANGED THE WORLD, MAN! By the way, look out for the high school hipsters stopping by to check out the class (usually some random but very specific topic, like sword-fighting).

Those kids are the worst.

Defense is the name of the game KYLE JOHNSON Arizona Daily Wildcat

F

or a moment in Salt Lake City, things looked to be in dire straits for the Arizona men’s basketball team. With a two-game losing streak already in tow, the Wildcats led by only three points with less than two minutes remaining.

Seniors Mark Lyons and Kevin Parrom eventually willed Arizona to a 68-64 victory at Utah, snapping the brief skid and seemingly restoring order to everything hoops-related in Tucson. But, even with the dark days of three-straight losses avoided, the Wildcats made something very clear as the season winds down.

If Arizona wants to do anything in the NCAA tournament, it will come down to its play on defensive.

As boring as that sounds, the Wildcats need to play Big 10-style basketball if they want to go anywhere in March.

Here are some simple stats, and as obvious as they sound, they’re very telling: In Arizona’s 21 wins, it’s allowed roughly 60.6 points per game. That puts the Wildcats’ defensive prowess in the ballpark of Vanderbilt with the 47th best defense in the nation.

In a loss? The UA allows 66.5 points per game, which is the same amount Temple gives up on a

nightly basis. The small sample size of just four losses does distort those figures somewhat, as Arizona is by no means the 173rd worst defense in defeats. But, the Wildcats are a perfect 17-0 in games where the opposing team scores under 70 points.

The UA also rarely wins when opponents surpass the magical 70-point mark. Since the start of December, when the strength of schedule picked up, Arizona has only won twice when teams pass the 70 points threshold — the 92-83 OT victory against Colorado and an 80-70 win at Oregon State.

In all four losses, opponents have scored 70 points or more, with the two most recent losses (77-69 versus Cal and 71-58 at Colorado) being a direct result of poor defensive play. The Golden Bears shot an unworldly 58.8 percent from the field; the Buffaloes hit half of their shots and continued to exploit Arizona’s poor three-point defense, hitting 52.9 percent from deep.

Just let those numbers sink in.

Entering the Cal game, opponents were shooting 35.3 percent on the season.

Both the Golden Bears and Buffs shot over 10 percent better from the floor and took advantage of the

Wildcats 253rd-ranked three-point defense. They won.

On Sunday the Utes hit 39.6 percent of their attempts and low and behold, they lost to Arizona.

It’s not too hard — defense is the Wildcats’ identity and it’s not changing.

Sure, the Wildcats are in the top-50 in offense, at least in terms of points per game. But as the team has said all season, their points will come. It doesn’t matter from where; it could be Lyons, Solomon Hill or any other of the talented scorers on the roster.

Arizona will get its points.

Defense is what separates the wins and losses. Well, defense and rebounding.

With 25 games down, it’s been made clear that none of the freshmen are going to break out as dominant scorers. Forward Brandon Ashley has shown the greatest offensive potential, such as Sunday afternoon when he scored 10 points on 4-for-5 shooting.

But, that’s about the limit of the freshman firepower. Only three times have any of the freshmen scored more than 15 points (Ashley twice, Grant Jerrett once). For what this team does, that’s OK. The seniors and Nick Johnson have more than enough talent to score.

Where the freshmen need to improve is in their play on the glass, and that hasn’t exactly been the case of late. Over the last three games, Arizona has out-rebounded its opponents by a total of eight

falling behind early to Purdue and having to rely on the UA’s offense.

Bowling was the designated player for the game and provided an early 3-2 lead for the Wildcats after doubling in Rodriguez in the bottom of the first.

“It felt great to be out there,” Bowling said. “I’m so happy to be on the field and contributing to the team’s wins. I’m looking forward to playing the really tough competition like Oklahoma next week. I think I could have preformed better this weekend, but I’m looking to improve next week.”

Purdue regained and kept the lead in the third until Arizona pushed back in the bottom of the sixth to complete its comeback.

The Wildcats opened the tournament on Friday, defeating Nebraska 1-0 and Drake 5-3. Babcock opened the tournament in a demanding fashion, pitching a four-hit shutout against the Cornhuskers, who were previously unbeaten. Babcock struck out five and walked two. Although the Wildcats

The Wildcats swept the Hillenbrand Inviational, winning all five games, despite struggling at last weekend’s Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz.

They beat Utah State 13-1 in five innings on Sunday, Southern Utah and Purdue on Saturday and Nebraska and Drake on Friday to bring their record to 8-2.

“I think this weekend, we put a few more pieces of the puzzle together,” head coach Mike Candrea said. “I think that’s the name of the game at this time of the year. We came back from behind this week, shutout Nebraska and did what we had to do to win.

I was very impressed. We always found a way to win.”

Junior Estela Piñon and freshman Nancy Bowling split the pitching duties against Utah State. Piñon went 2.2 innings, giving up one earned run on three hits while striking out six, and Bowling made her first SOFTBALL, 8 relief appearance of the season, pitching 2.1 innings while allowing one hit and striking out three. Sophomore Chelsea Suitos and junior Kelsey Rodriguez led the Wildcat offense, each collecting two hits and scoring three runs.

On Saturday, the Wildcats beat Southern Utah 6-3 and then rallied to come from behind to defeat Purdue 5-4, in the second game of the double-header. Both wins came on behalf of complete games thrown by Piñon and Shelby Babcock, respectively.

Against Southern Utah, Piñon struck out three, gave up four hits and walked one.

She became more dominant as the game progressed, not allowing a single baserunner in the sixth or seventh innings.

Offense was provided by sophomore Chelsea Goodacre and freshmen Lauren Young and Courtney Rodriguez. Rodriguez struck first for Arizona, as she singled in Goodacre from second, breaking the scoreless tie in the bottom of the second TYLER BAKER/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT inning.

In the second game of the double header, THE UA WON all its games this weekend, improving its Babcock recorded a complete game, after record to 8-2 after a 3-2 shaky first weekend.

Despite an imperfect start to the game, No. 10 Arizona (3-0) ended up coming away with the three-game home sweep of Coppin State (0-3) after defeating the Eagles 13-9 Sunday afternoon at Hi Corbett field.

“It was a good win, but we obviously still have some questions that need to be answered,” head coach Andy Lopez said. “Stephen [Manthei] obviously didn’t pitch the way he needs to pitch to be a Sunday starter but he’ll get another opportunity.”

All series long, the Wildcats’ offense has exploded off Eagle lapses. On Sunday, the Wildcats’ offense still managed to put up 13 runs, meager pitching by Arizona made the afternoon’s contest a tight one. “[Manthei] was very very sloppy, poor location,” Lopez said about his new Sunday starter. ”Both Manthei and [reliever Tyler] Hale did a poor, poor job of locating their fastball

more than anything. When you do that you put a strain on yourself.”

In only his second career start, first since 2010, the redshirt junior Manthei struggled with his location after blowing past Eagle batters in the first inning.

In the end, Manthei’s second and third inning grind would cost him a decision, as he would only go 3.0 innings with just 13 batters faced.

The right-handed starter threw 48 pitches in the three innings and gave up four earned runs on three hits. Lopez, who has coached some of the best NCAA statistical pitching staffs of all time, understands that if you pitch well, everything else will fall in place.

“When you pitch well, it feels good,” Lopez said. “When you don’t pitch well, I don’t care how many runs you score it’s still going to feel ugly and sloppy.”

Hale came in for relief of Manthei in the fourth inning and, thanks to a five-run first inning by Arizona, had a comfortable 9-4 lead to work

with. But after giving up two singles, a walk, a hit by pitch, a wild pitch, an inside-the-park grand slam and the five run lead in just .2 innings, Hale would get the quick hook.

Lopez would turn to his other senior relief pitcher, Augey Bill (1-0), who would clean up the game by going a career high 3.1 innings and only allowing one hit before walking off the field to a standing ovation by the 2,680 fans in attendance. Bill would eventually get the win.

“I felt really good and fresh today,” Bill said. “I was just trying to pound it in the zone and throw strikes and keep us in the game because I knew our offense would score more runs.”

The defending champs responded to every Eagle offensive attack by scoring and immediately taking back momentum. Lopez also saw sophomore closer Mathew Troupe dominate in his first appearance of the season.

Troupe earned his first save of the season after being

Arizona snaps eight-game losing streak against Utes James kelley Arizona Daily Wildcat

Arizona women’s basketball snapped its eight-game losing streak Sunday night in McKale Center after frustrations boiled over Friday. The Wildcats (12-13, 4-10 Pac-12) beat Utah (14-11, 5-9) 61-52.

“The way we did it was with team basketball, especially on the offensive end,” head coach Niya Butts said. “I thought last game we did enough defensively to win, not enough offensively.”

Senior guard Davellyn Whyte bounced back after a rough Friday night with a game-high 21 points, nine rebounds and five steals to boot.

“I thought she was much, much better, especially on the offensive end, she stayed solid,” Butts said. “She made an effort play there in the first half that was pretty amazing. We turned the ball over and she sprinted back to slow down the ball, that could have easily been an easy two points. She did a lot of good things [Sunday], she led the team a lot more.”

The Wildcats lost 55-42 to No. 21 Colorado Friday night, Whyte tied her season low of six points and was benched the final nine minutes for not getting back on defense.

Butts’ press conference was delayed about an hour and players were not available for comment after the Colorado loss.

“I think it will just help us get momentum for the next game,” junior guard Carissa Crutchfield said about Friday.

Utah jumped out to a 4-0 to start the game, but then UA went on a 14-0 run and would never trail again.

“We had a little extra pep in our step in the beginning and we

executed like we’ve been practicing,” Whyte said. “So we just put two and two together and that’s why we jumped out early.”

UA led 35-24 at the half.

“I think it helped us a lot because usually we dig ourselves a hole that’s too deep,” Whyte said. “When we start to get our rhythm and start playing good, it’s usually too late.”

Crutchfield had nine points and five boards and junior forward Alli Gloyd scored eight and had nine rebounds.

“I think everybody was aggressive at one point,” Crutchfield said.

The Wildcats forced 19 turnovers, which led to 28 points and only turned it over 11 times. “[Sunday] we only had 11 turnovers, that’s big for us,” Butts said. “We forced them into turnovers and we kept most of those possessions.”

Utah went on a 6-0 run to cut it to cut the lead down to six but Arizona got the lead back up to 11, with 3:38 left. A couple of Ute threes cut the lead down to seven with 1:59 left but the UA was able to hold on.

“Had we taken care of the ball against Colorado the way we did [Sunday], I think the outcome would’ve been different,” Butts said.

Arizona’s last win was Jan. 18 against the Utes in Salt Lake City.

The Wildcats now own the tie breaker against Utah, which was in seventh place going into Sunday’s game.

“Sometimes you gotta get knocked down to the bottom to get back up and I think we’ve been at the bottom a little too long and gabriela diaz/arizona Daily Wildcat we’re kinda tired of it,” Whyte said.

NO. 10 KAMA GRIFFITTS avoids Utah player Rachel Messer on Sunday in Up next for the Wildcats is Arizona State at home on Tuesday McKale Center. Arizona’s 61-52 victory over Utah was its first win since Jan. 18 . night.

The last time the Wildcats won was against the Utes in Salt Lake City.

rebounds, 88-80. Considering the UA has a top-25 rebounding margin (plus-7.1 rpg entering the Cal game), the young Wildcats have not been themselves around the hoop.

The freshman frontcourt has combined to grab a third (30 of 88) of the UA’s rebounds the past three games. Utah also had seven offensive boards and Colorado eight.

Defense and rebounding go hand in hand. During the two-game slide, both were absent. Arizona picked it up slightly against Utah, though the Utes 39-point second half almost made it a three-game slump.

The Wildcats’ win has them back on track. But without better defense moving forward, that track won’t be very long.

handed the ball in the eighth inning and striking out all four Eagle batters he faced, only once falling behind in the count.

On Tuesday, Arizona will travel to California to start a two game series against Long Beach State, a program that has struggled as of late and will be coming off a tough three-game road series with No. 2 Vanderbilt. However, unlike Coppin State, don’t expect the Dirtbags to hit 37 Wildcat batters.

Lopez has already chosen senior Nick Cunningham to start Tuesday and sophomore Tyler Crawford to start the Wednesday game.

“I think we’re a good team I just want to make sure we keep getting better,” Lopez said.

compiled 5 hits, their offense came primarily from Hallie Wilson’s double to center field which scored Suitos in the fourth.

“I was pleased with my performances this weekend,” Babcock said. “We improved and never gave up. We were behind in some games and came back and ended up winning which was very good. We’re looking forward to next weekend, it’s obviously going to be more competitive and we are ready.”

In the second game of the double header, Bowling made her first appearance since suffering a concussion two weeks ago and allowed two runs on three hits while walking one. Piñon struck out

five and allowed one unearned run on four hits to improve to 2-0 on the season.

Arizona’s offense was limited to just six hits as they were forced to come from behind, not leading in the game until senior Brigette Del Ponte scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the sixth.

The Wildcats travel to Palm Springs, Calif., for the Cathedral City Classic on Thursday, where they will play against Oklahoma, who sent them home in the Super Regionals last year.

“This next weekend going into Palm Springs will be a much stronger field of team and much more of a challenge for us,” Candrea said. “We are going to work hard to manufacture some runs, get ahead of these teams, and compliment our offense with good pitching.”

Addition of safeties coach completes staff james kelley & cameron moon Arizona Daily Wildcat

The El Paso Times has reported that Arizona football agreed to a home and home series with UTEP in 2017 and 2018.

The paper reported the schedule update on Jan. 30, and thus far, there have been no times or locations selected for the series. The Wildcats and Miners were Border Conference rivals from 1931 to 1960.

The UA owns a 38-11-2 record against UTEP and the Wildcats won the last meeting 42-7 in 2003.

UA names new safeties coach, completes 2013 staff

kelsee becker/arizona Daily Wildcat

ARIZONA BASEBALL finished the weekend 3-0 after dominating Coppin State. The Wildcats scored 43 runs in the three-game series.

Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez annouced the promotion of Matt Caponi, a graduate assistant during the 2012 season, to safeties coach.

Former UA safeties coach Tony Gibson left the program for West Virginia in January.

Caponi joined the UA staff after spending a year as a graduate assitant at Pittsburgh for three seasons, as well as the defensive coordinator for Washington and Jefferson College from 20082010.

Caponi attended Mount Union College, and served as a team captain and all-conference safety.

Caponi’s hiring completes the 2013 coaching staff. The UA will begin spring football on March 2.

SICK HAPPENS answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships Have a friend in need but not sure how to reach out?

Check out f2f.health.arizona.edu for info on how to help.

Q How do you get away from someone you are uncomfortable with but you do not have any tangible proof of them being creepy?

A. The feeling you describe can be hard to pin down. Is it someone who might be interested in you but not the other way around? Or that guy who means well but has a hard time reading cues? Or maybe it’s that person who is just a little too friendly for comfort? Whatever the reason, trust your instincts. It could be just a communication problem, or it could be something more. You might start with indirect methods first: avoidance (if possible), buddying up to ensure you are not alone in their company, or keeping your interaction with them civil but brief.

Enlist the support of friends by sharing your concern so they are aware of the situation. With their help, you may be better able to navigate or avoid interactions as they come up. But what if that doesn’t work? You may need to move on to more direct methods, if you feel safe doing so. If this is an individual who you have no option but to interact with, finding an appropriate time to approach them with your concerns may

be needed. Do this by bringing up the specific behavior rather than criticizing them personally. Be solution-focused.

Although what you describe may not qualify as stalking, keep in mind that this is a very real issue on college campuses. If you believe you are being stalked, communicate assertively that you want all contact to stop. You have a right to not be contacted by anyone you choose – for any reason. Telling another person that you do not want to have any contact with them is an appropriate response, if your intuition tells you it is necessary. In these situations, acting promptly can be an important way to prevent the issue from escalating, and reporting to the Dean of Students Office may be needed. Here at the UA, there are resources that can help, including Campus Health’s Oasis Program Against Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence.

Why I work here:

Nothing on campus is like Arizona Student Media. It’s the only place where you can build professional experience in addition to meeting people you know you’ll stay in touch with long after graduation. I can’t imagine not working here.

Why I work here:

I love working with people, writing and sports.

The experiences I have gotten at the Wildcat have been some of the best of my college career.

Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Major: Public Health

Hometown: Winslow, AZ Major: Visual Communications in Design

Why I work here: I wanted to apply my designing skills to real world situations. In my art studios and classes, our projects are usually generated based on possible situations but are meant more for practice. I could get an A in class but could I do as well outside of class?

Working at the Wildcat shows me I can.

tion cowgirl and have competed in rodeo my whole life. Being a part of the western industry taught me about promoting that lifestyle.

I have known since junior high I wanted to go into broadcast journalism. Being a part of UATV is an outstanding opportunity to start off what will hopefully be a long career.

Why I work here:

Working here for four years has given me a lot to be thankful for. I know what it takes to be a leader and run an organization. KAMP has given me a huge insight to the business world of fine art, broadcasting, and public service. Tune in. Turn up. KAMP out.

Why I work here:

I became a DJ because I LOVE music, especially metal and hardcore rock. As I met KAMP members, I felt like helping out even more an organization that has made my time at UA truly wonderful.

I have learned to be part of a team and formed friendships that I will cherish forever, while working with the music that I love.

Why I work here: The people and the environment! The Wildcat has provided me with unreal work experience that other college students rarely find. I have learned so much and can’t imagine another place I’d rather work on campus.
